I'm well, so buy I haven't been on here since... it can't be November, surely? :O

Indeed. I've been so busy I haven't been on here for two weeks!

I leave mine to soak for up to a week to neut the acid first.

Don't mind them, but watching Doug H blooming from 20 to 200 to 200,000 folls in 4 months bc Maiden fans all told their friends about his analysis was sheer joy.

Watching Eliz Zharoff being converted into a metalhead in a couple of hours was the biggest boost I've had in years.
Horse Stance!

Wow, first trip to the States? I haven't been keeping up with you, given life is manaically busy & the way FB hides everything we want from us.

More Glimmers than I can poke a stick at. It's like discovering Myspace & Pinterest simultaneously.

The dark backgrounds really make the images pop, esp art & space, even in daylight.

A very noticeable contrast with Facebook. I use Night background for youtube for the same reason.

There are a few others (Fairy Voicemother for one) but most of the others are dead boring - people barely commenting or reacting, & no analysis or expertise.

I learned about Bruce's vocals from Zharoff in an hour than I did from 40 years of nonstop listening to them!

Right, I wasn't sure. I remember the tattoo guy overdrawing your tatt image with his finger. That must've been 2019.

But also that you got a graphics tablet later.

Speakin' of listenin': do you watch Reac vids?

AWESOME series by Elizabeth Zharoff of first-time reacs to Maiden from 2021-24. Former opera-singer & vocal coach.

Also music-teacher Doug Helvering, who got into reacs, played Maiden & got converted & became a 300,000-follower star. Both unmissable

I wish I had all of 'Notta Lotta People...' on CD: I have all 12" EPs, & copied to tape (it was 1990 after all), but I only got 4 & 5 or 5 & 6 second-hand later.

If I need to check working these days I find them on youtube, & disappear down a rabbit-hole of links to links to links from there.

Feedback is always good (unless you're holding a microphone).

The only tablet I remember was the first one with touch-sensitive drawing instead of a graphics pen like my AceCAD.

The one you started drawing on when you got the Scythian tatt, etc.

Hey Hiero. How's post-tanker life treating you?

joined BSky on Weds & have been slowly learning to fly it, assisted by good human interfaces & former Shejidaners.

Hakkitk.

Here it was 24 today & it'll be 29 tomorrow & it's not even December yet! :(

High temps are for Xmas & January-February, not for late November. It's too early to be summer already.

Well, they may not think they know a man who's harrassed a woman. It would be incredibly rare to have not noticed, even if they didn't care.

It's never been bettered & rarely equalled. Everything about this album is perfect.

Brilliant artist, producing anatomically-correct articulated sterling-silver jewellery.
Never bought any jewellery for myself before, only for spouses.
Kate's Isopods are unavoidable. <3
