| Pick Your Partner HP Swap | 12:00 pm |
|---|
|
My partner from the Harry Potter 'ship swap invited me to be her partner in another HP swap. :D
And, I know what I want to make for her, but I need to get an opinion on this. I want to make her a model of the veil in the dept of mysteries. BUT, my question to you all is if you've ever seen mini "archways" anywhere, or what you think I could make it out of. I was thinking wooden if they pre-exist. Sort of like doll-house sized, maybe a little larger than that. Opinions?
There will be other things, too, but this idea for making a veil popped into my head. Ooh, maybe I could make it out of grey legos glued togther? But then where would I get all those grey legos? Hmmm.

I'm also in a Photo swap right now, and when I went down to market this morning I took some pictures while wandering downtown for it. Should be a nice swap.

and, of course, I still have to decide on the FMS swap. I sort of want to do it, but I'm sort of afraid, because what if my partner lists two things that I'm not interested in and/or can't figure out how to craft for? |

My mom and I have this (bad) habit of instead of putting delicate glass (wine, etched, etc) into the drain board, we line them up in front of the drain board, so nothing falls on them.
Yeah. Such a great idea. Until you move a plate and it sends another plate into a stemmed water goblet. Plate and goblet went crashing to the floor, both shattering,and oh, the glass decided to shatter ON TOP OF MY FOOT and then bounce off onto the floor.
Fortunately, it wasn't one of our expensive glasses. It was an etched glass from Sus-Q Glass. And the plate was a dessert plate, and we have tons of those and don't use them anyway because when we have meals that need dessert plates, we're usually using the good china and it's matching dessert plate, so I'm not too upset over the actual breaking. Just....annoyed, really.
And in pain. Ow. My finger hurts too, right under my nail on my thumb. I hope I didn't get a tiny shard in there when I was picking it all up.
It doesn't look like I did too much damage to my foot. There isn't a long gash or anything, just a few tiny scrape-ish looking things from where the glass bounced off my foot as it broke. |

Maybe in the head too.
Seriously, rebooting a modem THREE TIMES within a half an hour is *not* normal.
And it's not my computer, as I have THREE LAPTOPS using the same connection. If one goes, they ALL go.
It's not my router either. I already attempted swapping out one router for another.
Honestly, stop telling me that I have a "firewall anti-virus" on my computer.
And stop telling me that i'm "not cooperating". I'm telling you EVERYTHING i did. I'm even telling you that I did all the things you're going to suggest I do ALREADY. How is this possibly NOT cooperating if I actually say to you "I rebooted the modem, i rebooted the router, i tried a different router, i tried no router" And restarting a computer is NOT a solution. If I restart it, it's still not going to connect!
Also, nice to tell me that my modem is online when I have it unplugged at the moment while i try reboot attempt #4. It can't possibly be online if it's unplugged. Either your system isn't real time, or you're telling me lies. And when I asked you if your system was real time, and flustering over an answer? not a good thing.
And is it some kind of sick-o policy to stick people on hold when they ask to speak with someone else so that way they can just get MORE frustrated? Because I tell you what lady who didn't even give me your name, you SUCK at your job.
I'm up to a half an hour on hold. You bet your ass that's going to be the first thing I make them aware of. If people were busy, you're supposed to tell your customer, not shove them on hold indefinitely. There's also no indication that I'm even on hold. The on-hold music failed out a good twenty minutes ago.
I've also had to reboot two more times since being shoved on hold. So, obviously there *is* a problem somewhere along the line.
I hung up. After being on hold for 58 minutes, I hung up, mostly because even though I was on the bluetooth headset...that headset is kinda on the heavy side for my ears.
*edit* and right after I hang up? I have to reboot the mother freaking modem. AARRGGG |
