Fractals F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Aug 27 11:19 am)
Got to go back today for results of the Kidney Sonogram and other tests, I know there's something going on there just don't know how bad yet, hopefully not too bad. Have a Surgery scheduled for May 1st, Outpatient, In and out same day as long as things go right, remove a cancerous lesion on my neck, hopefully everything will be cleared up by the 9th of May and I can be ready for a good Summer.....
Remember...No matter where you go there you are
Oh, I will think of you, dear friend, and we hope the results will provide less worries, so not very bad for you.
For the May 1st, we wish you a lot of good courage, Len.
You fractal as an example of the new challenge is wonderful, I clearly see a cello, or other stringed instrument (the bottom of it). It is a beauty in simplicity of its luster.

Don't worry about me, I survived Cancer and 2 Heart Attacks, I know I'm on borrowed time and I've made my peace with fate and whatever it holds but for some reason I don't believe my destiny is yet nearing completion, just a feeling I still have a few things I'm meant to accomplish before being allowed to move to the next Adventure on the path to Everything.
That's an old old FE piece from my Gallery, The title was "Lyre Lyre"

Well, it wasn't such awful news from the Renal Doctor, The Sonogram showed nothing out of the ordinary but it seems my last Blood test just showed some areas of concern as some readings had moved into suspect range for Kidney functions. The Doc Changed some of my Meds and put me on a more restrictive diet(yuck) and said we'll see how it goes but for now it's nothing to be overly worried about just something else to keep an eye on.

Well, not as simple as I thought, was called by the VA early Monday to come back for more tests, now the Cardiologist is in on it too. Seems everything is out of whack, they decided to stop all my meds except Diltiazem for High Blood Pressure and Warfarin(Rat Poison) a Blood thinner and an Asprin. Thought all along I was having to take too many damn Meds, 9 pills a day and I think half were fighting the other half, that's why I'm all messed up. Got to go back again tomorrow, man I hope this gets stabalized it's really starting to get on my last nerve.

Hi Len
What a hassle with so many tablets.
So there was a war going on in your body, one pill against others. ;-)
I hope it will improve by changing the quantity of your medication.
I can imagine that you become crazy this this way.
We wishing you a lot of strength, and, like Corrie writes, please keep us informed how it goes with you, Len.

Oh,men, I didn't see it.
It is, that I was cleaning my postbox (I've 683 unread :woot:).
When I clicked on an old post of the fractalforum, I saw this surprise.
Thank you all very much.
And Congratulations to Susanne.
To be true, I think everyone should be congratulated, because there are so few fractalisten who make the effort to participate, so I really appreciate all here.
If only we could come up with something, so that more participants came, huh?
But it would be crazy if we were handing out bonuses to also get involved with this fun and educational challenge.
Come on, fractal-friends, join the club next time. It should be a cool communitie, where we can share things together
I know at the photo department, there is a lot more enthusiasm, as well as a nice touch to each other, where we are also sharing a lot of humor.
That just is the kick.
So, this was the sermon of Mies for the first Pentecost. :lol:
Love to all, from this girl, and I will think hard about the new topic, I think something that, for example, we represent a mood, but of course I first have to talk to our friend and moderator : Len.
You'll see me, Len.
So Mies, here you are with your good behavior. It could not be otherwise, but there is only one who was able to win, simply because I had voted on you. A beautiful result which ibrought the theme so very well into the picture. A real winner, again, but very well deserved! Think of something exciting for the next topic, but that is entrusted to you!
Hats off, Congrats Mies and Sue! who also had an awesome beautiful picture.
Cornelis
I agree of course with what you say about participation, it's a shame more don't and I have tried to figure out how to get more but it hard with Fractals. It's a limited group to start with and participation is voluntary so what can I do, I have thought about Prizes but what kind of Prize can you offer a Fractalist, we can't use 99% of anything in the Renderosity Marketplace and besides Renderosity wouldn't sanction it because it's a Fractals thing, it would have come out of my Pocket alone. I may do it anyway, offer say a $15 Gift Certificate to the Marketplace or maybe even our Sister Site Delighted(A Crafts Site) as well as choosing the next Theme for the winner just to see if it garners more participation, if it worked I could continue the Prizes, it would be worth it to me if it really bumpes up Participation.
There are rumors from the Higherarchey that we will be adding Tee Shirts, Totes and the like to the Marketplace again those would be good Prizes but that's just a Rumor I've seen nothing concrete about it yet. I'm always open to suggestions for getting more participation in Challenges or Activities in the Forum so if anyone has any Ideas speak up.
Oh and Cngratulations on winning Mies
Remember...No matter where you go there you are
Good morning (here)!
Thanks for your congratulations, Len.
@ Len: Also, I'm definitely not to display prices. I mean, it's fun as the regulations are now, namely, for fun and for the challenge, not to strive for prices. And certainly not, if you were going to pay it, Len.!
I don't like it when people get involved because they strive to prices, that's not a pleasant thought, for me at least.
It was just a spontaneous 'shout' of me, because there are so few competitors.
I don't know how many people tend to vote, so who knows, maybe a lot more fractal people do, and if, this would make it nevertheless interesting, regarding the full time score.
@ Corrie, thank you too, my friend. :)
@ Cornelis, thank you very much for your kind words, and about the new theme:
This is obviously more difficult because much has already been passed, but my head is already running on something.
Love,
Mies. :)
First of all, congrats to Mies and Mies, lol! Your entries were all so beautiful! Unfortunately I missed voting, but that wouldn't have changed anything, I'd have voted for "Smokey Eyes" if I hadn't been away. Also congrats to all other participants, loved all of the entries!
As for the "prizes" thing - I go with Corrie's and Mies' opinion. It should be for fun and not for gaining prizes, and not at all if it has to come from your pocket, Len. No way! If ever Rendo should be interested in the fractal community, then a T-shirt would be fine indeed. Or a "fractal enthousiast" sticker for the car...this only after torturing my brain for finding something else. ;)
@ Corrie, Mies and Cornelis - thanks for your kind words!
@ Len - thanks so much for making this possible and all your work even when you're not feeling too well. Just hope it's all better now.
Cheers,
Susanne
Hi dear,
Len hasn't yet responded to my message.
I read on his gallery that Len is busy with a trip through the desert.
Len probably wants to give his own interpretation, Susanne; but who knows when he will pop up again, and whether he "überhaupt" (anyway) will come back, from that wasteland, huh?
Below I will now write what my suggestion was to Len, in connection with the new challenge.
So here it is (with risking my live, hahaha).
Hi Len,
Here's my proposal on the following challenge:
A fractal which expresses, or appears-shows, feelings, or emotions, such as joy, anger, sadness. Also things like a smell, taste (ones taste), a mood, chill, heart touching things.
I'm sure that you can supplement the list.
btw: I myself did not start working on a fractal for the new challenge, I have no time in stock. ;-) .
Best wishes to all,
Mies ~ Jacomina.
Sorry, I have been away for a couple days, no worries it's fine with me, I have the Challenge ready just hadn't posted it yet. Should have done it before I took off Friday, oh well....so Fire me
It was a good Ride, 6 of us total 4 Bikes, spent Friday night under the Stars at the campground at the bottom of Guadalupe/El Capitan the Highest points in Texas. Stopped in Carlsbad NM for Breakfast Saturday then on to Cloudcroft and Ruidoso NM in the Pine Forest proper, spent the night in Ruidoso in a nice Cabin, off season is cheap especially split 4 ways and no reservations needed. On back through the Desert to EP today, a Nice Ride really nice, I needed it, a Good cruise on my Harley always grounds me puts everything back in perspective again. Glad I took the time, now I'm not all tied up in knots worrying about the coming surgery I can just get it done, heal and be ready to Ride some more....I really was Born to Ride
Remember...No matter where you go there you are
Thanks so much dear Mies for risking your life for me! :) I just hope Len is well!
Not an easy topic but then again very very interesting, I'm curious what can be achieved with these "Vorgaben" (standards, defaults?? Grr...my English...)
Same for me regarding lack of time (always!), but WHEN I've got some time, then it's nice to have a topic I can try to work on. And if Len should not accept your suggestion (doubt that though), no problem as well cause everything produced can still end up in the gallery anyway, right?
Hugs!!
and have a great weekend, you, Karel and all other fractalists!
Susanne

Sorry it took me so long to get this going, been sidetracked by medical stuff at the VA the past couple of weeks but I finally remembered and got it done, because of that there is no delay to it's opening, its Open for Entries now.
This Challenge theme was a joint choice of dochetersions and rocserum, CoWinners of the last Challenge and I think it's an Inspired choice for a Theme The Sound of Fractals
