Oh, thank you, Deb! Much appreciated...and I'm glad my mess up also helped out inadvertantly with a bug, lol...I guess. =)

Just save it as a PNG when you go to export the image. You'll have your transparent background then.

Quite welcome! =) Best of luck.

We're getting the survivors from the Super Dome, moving them to Houston's Astro Dome. I'm just horrifiedly fascinated by the coverage. Hardly seems believable that people are actually looting for clothes and such, instead of trying to get out.

I worked in customer service for 14 years, from bottom of the ladder to middle management.

I've had at least two employees who were rude to customers consistantly (they didn't last long, let me tell you). I am a very upbeat, friendly person, and I've got the smile lines to prove it, LOL.

Still, there are customers you just can't make have a good time making their purchases. I've been yelled at, cussed at, even got hit in the mouth by one lady (who turned out to have a compulsive disorder and was off her medication). My asst. manager saved the day with that one...I was beginning a swing to pop the woman back when my AM grabbed my arm, lol.

So, I always try to say thank you, please, and basically return any courtesy I'm shown when I shop. Sometimes, the person working returns it, sometimes they are rude and don't seem to appreciate my courtesy towards them.

I just always keep in mind that they might be having a bad day, and it's just not easy to leave personal problems at home when you clock in.

That's probably kept me from complaining a LOT about rudeness and bad service at places. =)

KFC - I totally know what you mean there! I can't count how many times I've gone to get food there, and made it home without the biscuits. We live in a small town, and I called the first time...you know what they told me? Biscuits don't come with the meal! Oh, really? Why is it that I've always gotten biscuits with every bucket of chicken I've bought there before, then? Arrrgh. I don't eat at Red Lobster anymore....the service sucks so bad, and I ended up with food poisoning the last time I ate there. Our local MickeyD's can't be bothered to put people who know how to smile on the registers. Nor can they be bothered to put things like napkins in with your order (drive thru). The number one thing that irritates me the most is how you can no longer pull into drive thru anywhere, and complete your order without being asked after each item "Anything else with that"? Uh, yeah, I'm not finished yet!!! Our internet service, though...they're pretty good. They get repairmen out ASAP when lightning strikes the tower equipment. They recently switched over to a new billing system, and our bill this month was over $200...I freaked, because I know it's been getting paid every month. That's 4 months' worth of payments behind! Called'em, gave them the check numbers of the payments they were missing, and they were immediately credited, so our bill was the normal $52. They're fast, they're courteous...I love'em. =)

"This render is taking FOREVER." That's my vote, lol. =)

This page loaded very slowly for me....don't know about the rest of the site. =)

Ah, thank you! =)

I thought the Arsenio Hall thing was something more like "rrrroooo, rrrroooo, rrrroooo"? I thought that was why the nickname "The Dog Pound" came into being on that show?

I always thought it was a gamer saying, lol. "Woot! I kicked some orc ass!"

http://drylinehosting.com Check that one out...very reliable.

Um....I buy a lot of products from here, and I've never had anything not work properly, though I have had a couple of outfit textures I couldn't figure out how to make work properly (set with Cameras instead of Pose files)...but after reading the readme file included, I was all set.

I don't think I've ever bought an RMP product that wasn't as advertised, nor have I bought one that I'd consider inferior.

As a merchant, I'd want buyers to let me know personally if they had a problem...but I know the testing is pretty darn thorough, as it has caught mistakes in my products before they were approved for sale.

Thanks to the testers, I've yet to have a complaint on my products...at least not one that I've been made aware of, and that's in what...about 2 years of selling here?

=)

Ah, I saw that and thought you meant the AdAware program. Thanks for the clarification. =)
