The watercooler: a place to chat

Looking at LADDERS because of [fall/winter] projects we're eventually going to start...geez I was wrong about ladders NOT costing a lot. I think we might be able to start off with a couple of step ladders for the garage insulation project- and then spend a couple of [extra] pennies to get the extension ladder needed to clean the gutters.

[PeteLensing]

What do the ladders cost?

[Shanny8]

For a decent 8ft step ladder(aluminum or fiberglass) it starts at $160 and up...for the extension ladder(about 16ft) it starts at about around $300(the higher the reach, the more it costs)

Finished writing a really intense scene of my current web novel recently.

I’m not going to reveal the details for now, but man….it took quite a bit of mental and emotional effort…

[Shanny8]

Mowed the front lawn this morning- set my alarm so that I could get up and do it before it gets hot/humid this afternoon...I'm pretty sure I'm gonna crash & nap today because of this.

Card and internet bills have been taken care of(plus I was able to go ahead and green light the sneakers) so now I'm gonna purchase the yard blower- this will be the last yard tool I get this year; I'll get the chainsaw either January or February to take care of the small stumps in the yard and the small tree

Going to TRY to work on art today...still a bit sleepy and tired

.it took quite a bit of mental and emotional effort…

I feel that.

My webtoon doesn´t feel like that, but I also feel like
I´m working for an audience and censor myself etc,
that has the effect of me not being involved.

I´m fully involved in my personal project and it takes
a lot of mental and emotional effort because I´m so
into it. I can´t sleep at night when I don´t stop working
on it soon enough to come down

[PeteLensing]

I left my main band. I called every band member and told them that
I leave the moment I decided on that. I wish other band members would
behave like me when they leave a band
My last show will be new years eve and I´ll only have 2 bands left then
which don´t play so much.

Making a self indulgent fluff Bound to be Together comic. Had emergency dental work done yesterday. Take care of your teeth and gums y’all.

I feel so stupid that I just can’t do anything. I hate it. And I’m not lazy… I just need help with alarms. Certain things I just can’t… it is possible that I could have adhd with my autism. But I need to get evaluated first.

[PeteLensing]

I got my new upright bass, it´s my first solid wood bass and I´m
in love

[abigaillmartin]

Looking up old timey chocolate for no reason whatsoever

[feuersichel]

Wow, this looks epic!

[feuersichel]

I love, how the letters got from fancy to blunt

[Shanny8]

I thought when you said bass, you meant BASS GUITAR- I didnt know you meant violin bass...silly me

[Shanny8]

Like I said, the one thing I hate about mowing the lawn is that it has LEVELS of energy draining adverse effects on me...I did not get into the groove of working on art until late last night around the time I needed to go to bed I hate it because I wanted to finish out the pencils on the 2nd figure and see if they're worth keeping(I still can't tell)

So made plans to straight out purchase the yard blower(fam is gonna go halfsies with me on it) but also scheming on getting a chair/ottoman combo for my room; the set I originally wanted is sold out but I found two other sets at a decent price...gonna try to pay it off as soon as I can- the last things on my room furniture list is a dresser drawer chest & a shoe shelf

Taking this Friday off main plans are to rest but I'm also thinking if I can I might try to mow the backyard; it's supposed to cool down this week weather wise(70 degree days, 50 degree nights after Wednesday) but it's only temporary, so if it's cool on Friday I definitely might try to jump out there and tackle the backyard

Picked up Supergirl on blu-ray...gonna watch it on Friday as well!

Been kinda planning out the rest of my "art schedule" for the end of this year; I think after "power couple" I'm gonna work on a smaller OC piece to give myself some rest and then in December it's gonna be "magic lady 2- electric boogaloo"- that'll most likely be my final project for 2026

I'm also a little more than halfway through the book I'm reading- the MC got her arm amputated

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I'm glad I decided to drop by the forums again haha. Like a week before the news dropped. I am the grim reaper

[alextsarace]

Yo why everyone panicking about tapas? Was there even official statement, there's only two pinned topics, what's up?

[Kelheor]

@alextsarace there wasn't an official statement, but there was also no statement when Kakao acquired Tapas :)) the news are saying Kakao is shutting it. There are still chances the announcement will say something different, but so far it seems to be pretty clear

[silverraven0]

Apparently even the Licensed author on tapas did not know tapas are closing down (based on what I saw on Twitter). Tapas even showed dome new licensed comics a day before the news dropped, so it's doubtful if the tapas staff also know it.

[alextsarace]

Thanks for the info, that's messed up...
I'm definitely hoping that's just misinformation and it will just be fine inhaling hopium
