I'd like to apologise to everyone for my behaviour & comments over the last couple of days, that includes CL & Daz3d. I'm totally stressed out with all the waiting for poser5 & seeing all the pics & posts is really making it worse for me, I've not been thinking too clearly about things & need to take a step back for a few days. I'll be back with hundreds of questions no doubt once poser5 is in my hands. Once again Sorry everyone. Rob

Well Rob, don't feel so bad, everyone here with Poser 5 is getting just as punchy, experimental stages are always stressful, soon everything will be smooth once again in our little land....Sharen PS: stay well.

Take care Rob. No apology necessary, as far as I'm concerned. Hope you get P5 soon. Q

I'll accept the apology only if my copy of Poser 5 arrives before yours, otherwise not ;-) No, seriously, no need to aplogize, I'm as frustrated as you are seeing how fun the US crowd has with Poser 5!

Kelderek, From the posts around here, you call this fun? I'd hate to be around you on a bad day. :-)

Rob! Rob! Rob! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm thats better than Judy Judy Judy!! lol No need for an apology! We are all a little nutso with all the P5 stuff! We love ya man ;)

Friday the 13th....There's been so much crap going on. Seems like a good time for a couple of verses from the Tao. Heaven knows we need it. Rob, I hope you don't mind. " If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given. This is called the subtle perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast. Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results." "True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself. True fullness seems empty, yet it is fully present. True straightness seems crooked. True wisdom seems foolish. True art seems artless. The Master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the the Tao (the way) speak for itself" Lao-tzu Be kind to each other. Take care all. Q

No need to for apology! We have all had our super highs of getting Poser, the lows etc. Waiting.................. Just hang in there.

Q, Sounds like you've been reading the I Ching. "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - SunTau, from the art of War. - TJ

Know SunTau well TJ... This was from the Tao te Ching by Lao-tzu. The Stephen Mitchel version. Female gender used throughout for the Master. I liked that. Type of reading that calms me during a storm. It centers me. I just thought I would share. Q

Q,
not that well - I had to look it up to get it right.

Here's the
url I found to do so. It's got some other good stuff too.
including Lao-tsu.
cheers,

• TJ

Hey! TJ. Thanks for the url. I love this stuff. Q

Thanks everyone :) pokey pokey pokey that's much better than Judy or Rob ;) I was going to stay away for a while but you know what it's like, I found I needed my fix of 'rosity more than a rest from bs. I gotta catch up on a few threads now (200ish) maybe tomorrow I'll hear about when I'm gonna get poser5 Rob (relaxed & happy)
