After the umpteenth time of loading a texture only to find no goddddammmn way to locate the lashes, and having restrained from throwing the entire machine off a cliff ONLY becuase I would have had to drive to get there and the tic on my forehead is throbbing with stroke like precision. I really have to ask the designers of textures if there is any conceivable way that there could be some kind of standardized application of those textures. I know there are lashes for this texture, it's Seela and Venla and the very color of the lashes is specified in the mat files. I have the darn trans loaded. Nothing. It's not the first texture this kind of pettifogging miniscule Problem has developed that just hauls everything to a complete stop. I was in a great mood. I was cooking. For the first time in two weeks. And then crapola hit the Air conditioning-- too hot for fans-- again. Is it too much to damn ask that textures be loaded the same way for everything??? So So SO sick of it! Emily Don't ask me to check the read me that's on the computer that's in the shop. I really like these textures, I'd just like to be able to read them without having to read a manual first before every single one.

Ok, in with the happy air, out with the angry air, in with the happy air, out with the angry air, etc. etc. etc. until you realize it's a load of "poop." Then grab a beer (or more) and veg out in front of something mindless on TV until you feel better or pass out (personally prefer Becks and anything on Comedy Central.)

I've been doing that-- vegging-- for a month,take my advice, that'll kill you quicker than anything else. This was my day to make something. Without having to hunt it down, kill it, gut it, and cook it first. I may, however, swim. Emily

Skydiving, Emily. Take up skydiving. Nothing cools your anger better than throwing yourself out of an aircraft several thousand feet above the earth while screaming your lungs out. Of course, there are times when the anger has built up so much that it will take more than one or two dives. If the anger is REAL hot, though, make sure you have someone watch you as you pack your chute. The consequences of anger have a tendency to rear their ugly heads at the most inopportune and unfortunate moments. Take care and be well. ;-) casamerica

Alcohol.

Yep, nothing eases my poser anger faster than a nice Rum and Coke. And the course of therapy may require an extra shot each time a hair flies off vickys head whenever I change her pose. Sometimes I find that Poser actually works better after a few mixed drinks.

Sometimes I notice that I chew my nicotine gum a lot harder during a really stressful poser session, so I change to a fresh piece and find myself becoming a little calmer.

Twinkies help too.

I hope some of my fixes may be of use to you. :)

Are you asleep yet? No? Yes, you are, you're sound asleep. No backtalk, you.

Where was I? Oh, yes ... you're in your Happy Place now. You are calm and relaxed. When I count to five, you will awaken, feeling refreshed and lemony-scented. You will also cluck like a chicken whenever you hear the word "Legume."

One ... two ... three ....

Um, excuse me a moment, I'll be right back ....

My Happy Place? Penguins! And they're saying Sliiide! This may not be a good thing. But,I'm better. Thank everybody. The Twinkies were a big help-- ok, it was french toast twists but the sugar rush was equivalent. Now cluching chocolate, I go to bed. Emily I am Jane's clogged arteries. [those who do not get references to Fight Club should stop scratching their heads now.]

grin I created a cartoon character that looked a bit like that, back in 1983. His name was Gloppy. Yours bears a strong resemblance to Cousin Itt of the Addams Family.

I AM working on the Poser User's Guide to Zen. Perhaps that'll help. Q

Get Grand Theft Auto 3 and bump the first person that cross the street !!! Or get the phone number of your ISP and start asking questions like ......... where I can get "internet" ? Is "internet available in the store ? Will "internet" solve my problem ?.... or just paint everything white color or dark color in poser.... no need for textures :)

Mashed potatoes and/or jam. Nothing gets rid of anger and agression better than pounding something to a freakin' pulp, and with potatoes or jam you have something edible at the end of the pounding session. Always worked for me. Kate (who has been serving a LOT of mashed potatoes at dinner lately cuz the blackberries aren't quite ripe yet)

"They're coming to take us away, haha They're coming to take us away, hoho..." "...and it's all because of you, you mangy, poser mutt." "... to the funny farm where life is pleasant all day long..."

You guys are all freaking nuts!!! I love it!! For the pounding session, might we suggest grapes? Then you can have a nice relaxing drink!!! oh, and Grand theft Auto3 does work :)

For me, it's a nice chilled glass of white wine, a (large) piece of Sharfenberger dark chocolate and my time-shifted horde of Guilty Pleasures TV shows. (Like "Charmed" for example....utterly mindless scripts and hunky guys and gorgeous gals, all packaged in oceans of fluff....you get the idea) BTW, this thread made me laugh out loud 14 times, thereby breaking the previous record by 4....Nice work, folks!!

Weeds. Whether it is an artifact on the screen or a dandelion in my campanula, out it goes and all its rootless cousins, too! ::grrrr:: If it is too dark to garden (I once nipped the tip off a finger by pruning too late into the evening), I slip into Ultima Underworld 2 where there is a saved spot right next to a roomful of regenerating skeletons. (Well, they are already dead, so dying again shouldn't bother them too much.) Carolly
