Ok, keep in mind, this will probably be deleted as I cool down, so if it's gone in time, don't worry, is just a temporary lapse of judgement... lol I've been reading outside the Bryce forums alot lately, trying to catch the swirl of things, stay in the loop so to speak. The Community Forum, The Merchant Forum, Wings Forum, and a few others occassionally. And most always I end up very upset by some of the threads I KNOW I shouldn't have bothered with. You know the ones I mean...the long controversial ones where everyone has a different opinion on a subject and everyone disagrees with something. Sooooooooo My resolutions for My new year at Renderosity are as follows.... 1. To remember that it is OK to disagree with each other, and to KNOW that agreeing to disagree is GOOD!!! This site is FULL of different people from different backgrounds and of different thoughts, with a common interest. ART! ENJOY the differences and the art! 2. ZIP MY MOUTH!!! I WILL NOT tell someone to leave if they are so obviously unhappy here, no matter how BAD I want to. I WILL NOT get involved in matters that DO NOT concern me simply because my OPINION is different than those stated. I will also do my best to not even READ those threads that I KNOW will just fuel the fires. 3. I WILL remember that freedom of speach and thoughts ARE allowed!!! Just as my freedom to remain SILENT is allowed!!! 4. I WILL focus on what is TRUELY important to me...my family (bryce forum family included)...my art...my passions...my interests... Things that make for happy days, not days where it's almost depressing to log on to the pc. And for some non-ranting ones... 5. I WILL try to work on updating my gallery and webpage, among the HUGE projects I'm curently working on. 6. I will make some models that will be worthy to be shown, and with any luck and determination, sold, and actually bought ;) 7. To use my time to GROW UP and know that I am an adult, and WILL act as one (present rant excluded as it predates the resolution) (will add more as they come...lol) **POST NOTE!! This list in NO WAY is directed to ANYONE but ME!! And should NOT be taken in ANY context other than that, and will be deleted if it turns into one of those posts I've now resolved to stay out of. Thank you! Jen rant over...we now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast

Jen..i now know why the bryce forum became my addiction. Things in my life in the real world isn't so hunky dory right now, nto to mention..got a blasting cold, a father who says I'm a failure and oh..lots more. It takes a family like the bryce forum to make the world brighter! At least..we can rant like this here..and have pple who don't mind us doing so. :) Hope your new year resolution works out for you!! Way to go!!

WHAT?!?

Jen's being an adult, Vile. Ahem. We give her that due..though we ought to warn her that all of us are still in our childhood, and that telling pple to get off the forum is all part of being immature and not that we really mean it. We may soon call her the grandmother in the forum. :);) You made any resolutions? Do we have to call you the grandfather of the form?? ;) ;) :) Lol..both of you..

Actually what I meant by WHAT?!? is did a miss a good flaming fight or something lol? And if so how come!

Fight, what fight? ;) read your posts, man.. check ornlu's post on magazine publication woes. drac's fire is way too small for even this. Sigh. (psst..only for you..I hate fights!!!! :( )

Smart resolutions Jen, I've been trying to practice them myself. I too feel that its time in my life to gain as much pleasure as possible and concentrate wholly on those things and skip getting into the stuff that aggravates me. I hope that you can succeed in your goals. Happy New Year!

If you get there Jen or Ang or anyone, please tell me how you did it. lol 8) I feel that at my age I should only concern myself with those things that bring me joy and definately stay away from things that bring me down. So rant away dear girl, it's good for everyone from time to time and after all you're only human. 8) Catlin
