Yay! Another Mehrathon! Can’t wait to see what things will call my name and tempt me to spend money I don’t have during the next 24 hours. Lol. Happy January everyone!
So it is blurry. Too bad so sad. I’m really sick. Nearly forgot to take the photo because of that. Not bothering to take another one. Need to go back to sleep.
@brainmist Thank you. I know and I so rarely get sick (I just choose to have major crap like multiple cancers - the hell with viruses) that I forget how crappy you can feel. As I live alone I have to drag my own sorry ass to the pharmacy, grocery store, doctor’s office…
@brainmist I know. I have to go out once today and and 7:10 am this morning my temp was 101.4 (I wouldn’t be up but cats think it is breakfast time and make sure I know it. I can’t shut them out of the bedroom as their dirt box is in my bathroom and I live in 2 rooms). So much fun. Hopefully the Tylenol I just took will make a big difference. I worked full time through chemo and it didn’t kill me although sometimes I’d cry in the bathroom at work I felt so bad, but we needed money, I had a minor child at home, and we needed health insurance (yeah there’d be cobra but that ends and this state didn’t expand medicaid). We do what we have to do. It is what it is. And sometimes life just sucks. Hopefully this will go away soon. The only up side is that I have lost 6 pounds so far without any effort on my part. Of course that kind of weight loss isn’t the ideal way to do it but I’ll take what I can get.
Wrote the date on the post it note backwards: so that it looks ok in a mirror.
Then stick the note to the bottom ih your foot and position your foot in front of the mirror s post it still sticking to foot.
This might be less contortionist as a way of taking a photo
Also to control where the camera focuses look at the screen image of the photo you’re about to take and tap the portion of the image where the focus ought to be and give the camera a few seconds to adjust.
The focus ought to be where you want it then
I understand this whole get the camera and focus thing is ridiculous if you’re in a contortionist position to get the photo at all
@f00l@Kidsandliz I take a photo in a mirror and then just reverse the image in “edit.” It’s hard to get the focus right though; it’s blurry if I get the phone too close to the mirror.
My thoughts were directed more toward the contortionist aspect, or taking the photo of the bottom of your foot, which doesn’t sound fun, no matter what
Then it was getting the image which was just an afterthought
I’m wearing pants with tight leg holes, so I’ll have to take a shot from the potty later on - it’s too cold to strip unnecessarily. Also, y’all are welcome for that behind-the-scenes info
Ok. I was on top of my game tonight so everyone already has their orders processing. The thread is now closed to further submissions, but if you missed out, there’s always next time. Let me know if you don’t see the order over on your SideDeal order history.
Although technically still the 9th here, we’ll go with tomorrow’s date
Yay! Another Mehrathon! Can’t wait to see what things will call my name and tempt me to spend money I don’t have during the next 24 hours. Lol. Happy January everyone!
Gross! I don’t want to see your skin. Humans are the worst!
Also, I still love you. Snap 'em if you got 'em. And I hope you find something you like in the 'thon.
@ExtraMedium I bought a giant inflatable spider and am pretty dang happy about it.
@ExtraMedium @sammydog01 I got that for halloween. it’s actually great!
Happy day all
Crappy picture but I don’t feel like getting up for better lighting.
Woohoo! Thanks for the irk. I’m supposed to be getting a new tattoo this weekend, not meh related though.
Ah-ha, not missing it this time!!
I should have picked aside that was easier to photograph when I set a cell phone beside it
@f00l
@f00l
Obviously, it’s still Tuesday the ninth in the central time zone
Yay! Thanks, @ExtraMedium!
Yay!
@kyeh, don’t miss it! More free trackrs!
@brainmist Thanks - I will - just not up to contorting myself to get a photo quite yet!
@brainmist @Kyeh
I think in the footer I’ll go for a post it note date, and then just rotate the photo after.
Maybe easier. Hopefully.
Right now if I get the phone screen lined up for the photo by the time I get the photo ready to take this phone screen is gone black
This is me.
This is her
Happy first IRK of 2024, y’all!

@Kidsandliz Ack, there’s so much going around right now. Get well!

@Kidsandliz ugh. That part is especially unfun.

I understand this whole get the camera and focus thing is ridiculous if you’re in a contortionist position to get the photo at all
But it might work if you were using a mirror
@f00l Thanks for the advice.
@f00l @Kidsandliz I take a photo in a mirror and then just reverse the image in “edit.” It’s hard to get the focus right though; it’s blurry if I get the phone too close to the mirror.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh
Yeah, that’s true. You could just flop the photo of the image you took in the mirror so that it looks right.
Then you wouldn’t have to bother reverse the date
Obviously, I don’t spend much time editing photos since that’s a no-brainer
@f00l @Kyeh Or you could just say fuck this shit and turn in one that is slightly fuzzy and not put in all the effort.
@Kidsandliz
I’m sure you know what’s best under the circumstances.
: )
@f00l I should have put
at the end of my previous comment about just turn in a fuzzy photo.
@Kidsandliz

@Kidsandliz We desperately need better support systems.
Happy new year all! TY meh!
Yay
I don’t know why it’s fuzzier every time. Anyway…
@sammydog01 Are you slooooooowly fading out into another dimension?
@yakkoTDI
/image moisturize me
@sammydog01 @yakkoTDI
Before you take the photo tap portion of the photo on your phone screen that has the image
That tells the phone to focus at that distance
Might help might not
I’m wearing pants with tight leg holes, so I’ll have to take a shot from the potty later on - it’s too cold to strip unnecessarily. Also, y’all are welcome for that behind-the-scenes info
Irk is lurking in the shadows.
Waited until after work to post today. As always, THANK YOU!
