Trick with autodialers is detecting them to make the charge, especially since most of them are already spamming illegal source numbers

 

You could do what this fellow did and charge them for wasting your time :lol:

Thankfully I rarely get robocalls. Mostly I get calls from recruiters trying to get me for jobs in NJ for some reason. Like, dudes, I live in Brooklyn... If it takes more than an hour to get there, I ain't going!

 

Food consumed. Coffee had. Feeling more alive. Might try to hobby while the kid naps.

Tell them for 2.5 times the money you'd consider it.

 

Which state is better/worse on state income tax?

Pretty much anywhere is better than NYC for taxes.

 

At least they let you pump your own gasoline into your car. I'd refuse to live in NJ based solely on that fact.

 

@Glitterwolf sorry if I missed it in a previous post, but how is Brutus doing? Molly and Dixie send best wishes.

I hope everyone is have a great month. It has been a while since I posted, not including the pbp i am in. Coffee has been had and more work on the country manor has been finished...... wait do I really want to use that word????? oh well, I have worked on the basement, not finished, but not far from it. I worked on the 1st floor (2nd story) that has a large ball room and bedrooms in the wings of the house. the ground floor is complete other than either labeling everything or making a legend. I am leaning toward using a legend as there are a lot of bits in that layer. 1st floor is mostly done 2nd and 3rd are about in the same spot, I think. I think the biggest thing I have left to is all of the secret stuff the players can not see. I have some of it done and some of it is drawn in my head. It would be nice to have it finished by the end of the month, but I do tend to work hard on it for several days then take a few days off. I do have other maps that I want to draw, so there is those drawings i could start and work on as well. Whelp, I need to get back to it.

Thought you were talking about a real house for a minute there and was feeling the familiar swell of jealousy for people with carpentry skills lol.

 

My envy of cartography skills is palpable but a great deal less biting, fortunately.

I am drawing my manor house in CAD (Computer Aided Drafting). It is not blueprint quality as the walls are most represented by a single line. instead of the dual line that shows how thick the wall is. I am trying to keep door ways and all of the furniture to a one to one scale.  it helps me with being able to place it all. Fireplaces are 10' in length, but i feel they are meant to be slightly big since they have to 'heat' a large area. I have posted a picture of the house itself over in my inktober thread. please feel free to make comments or suggestions. Just do not be hurt if I do not use any of the suggestions. I know where I want this to go, but I can not think of everything.

I will be celebrating this. Was inspired to read the wikipedia blurb about it, had no idea dogs had such a special place in Hinduism.

 

 

 

What kind of top do you use for your apple pie? Are you a lattice topper or the solid dough top kind of person?

 

Another driech day here. Fairly typical here for this time of year. Woke up to thunderstorms and heavy rain. Desperately need a haircut, and am eyeballing the set of clippers heavily. Might just be that time in life when I go for the buzz cut.

 

I'm experimenting, using ricotta and oranges with eggwhites on top.

The US actually has a recipe that we refer to as Dutch Apple Pie.  It probably originated with German settlers because we can't tell the difference between Dutch and Deutsch.  It uses a crumbly topping that resembles streusel:

 

Grandma's Dutch Apple Crisp Pie | KeepRecipes: Your Universal Recipe Box

 

There are several variations.

Some cover them in almonds others make an open top / lattice top.

I now took out a christmas style recipe and added orange zest and juice mixed with ricotta and egg whites and sugar on top of the apples.

It's cooling off as we speak.

 

Since it's 22:30 hours over here, we will have it tomorrow evening with our coffee.

So you'll have to wait for the review::P:
