I have a friend who makes 3D printers. He made a 3D bioprinter (print veins & arteries with living cells) for his PhD project. He went to Africa with a bunch of 3D printers and set them up for making simple prostheses. I will forward your link to him.
Eep! I feel better NOW, knowing that your mother gave up that habit. Actually, both of them. And I realize that these events you describe were more than three years ago.
I am over 65. I’ve never smoked a day in my life. Yet doctors and medical people continually ask me if I smoke. I have taken to telling them that I’m considering taking it up “because I want to be one of the ‘cool kids’.”
I had a question for my doctor, and one for the pharmacy at my HMO.
It’s the same if you’re caling to make an appointment, though you can also do that online.
You can’t just call anybody any more.
You have to call the “Appointment and Advice Line”.
…
It’s answered by a person who takes the details of your question, but turns out not to be the one who gives you advice, but the one who directs your call to the nurse or pharmacist who gives you advice.
In the case of the nurse, she didn’t answer my question either, but had a doctor call me.
At every level of those encounters, I was asked a list of questions, whether or it not I had just answered them.
Are you allergic to any medications?
Which ones?
Have you ever been diagnosed with COPD, pneumonia or another breathing disorder?
There are about six more, including do you smoke or have you ever smoked.
…
I said things like “why don’t you just ask the person who answered this call?”
They don’t get that I’m joking.
I told the doctor maybe smoking would be a good way to occupy myself while waiting through these layers of calls.
This caption (of not quite the same photograph) “Directing animator Eric Larson with Dalmatian puppies” comes from HERE. Again, I’ve just discovered it was a book before Disney’s movie.
Best of all, there’s a copy of the book available at a branch of my library, I’ll be picking it up today.
I’m wondering if that was a photoshoot or that these puppies in the studio really helped the animators in their depiction …so please sport back your findings, sir!
Of course not! If she had a brain, none of that would affect her in the slightest, right? Then again, if she was a typical girl/woman/young lady, this ad could hit her right in her weakness. At least, that’s what these moronic ad people are relying on. Well, how well did Charles Antell Formula 9 and Shampoo sell, based on this ad? Did somebody get a bonus because sales went up? Or did they change to another ad agency because this one just had no feel for the demographic at that time?
There are sooo many abandoned people. I get mail every day wanting me to help ALL of them. Sorry, there aren’t enough of me to do that. I’ll help a few, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
So true. Thousands of worthy causes and charities, but impossible to help them all. Like most people, I have a few that I contribute to; food banks, the Arts, environmental issues, public broadcasting, historic preservation. Some are hyper-local, some national.
Today’s puzzle is based on another work by Peter de Sève.
The title is apparently “The Man Who Was Eaten Alive”, but I don’t consider the sites that have that title reliable.
I’m just not into doing the puzzle today (I’ve looked at Susan’s solution though).
While searching this one I finally came across a title for THIS ONE “Jurassic Paris”.
Haven’t looked at the puzzle today, I’ve only recently got back home after exhibiting a layout at my Model Railway Club’s annual running day. We hold our annual exhibition earlier in the year, and do a smaller running/open day at the village hall where we hold our monthly meetings around this time of year. I then went on to deliver a layout to one of our members who had asked me to rewire and convert to digital control, and fit a sound chip to the model locomotive he runs on it. It’s been quite a long day, and I’ll give the puzzle a look tomorrow.
I do have a Wallace and Gromit themed layout aimed at kids. It’s set up that you get a kid to try and knock Wallace’s stovepipe hat off (He’s the loco driver) with a hot air balloon that slides down a wire while the train travels around the track. It’s quite fun at exhibitions.
The really funny thing about today’s FTTD is that all those predators are actually converging on the butterfly. The guy with the camera is just collateral damage.
Today’s Songs:
‘Rebel Yell,’ ‘Reelin’ in the Years,’ ‘Renaissance,’ and ‘Ride Captain Ride,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Baked Cranberry Brie.’
There’s a bonus video of a 1930 Library of Congress film clip of civil war rebel veterans giving the real rebel yell (I think Billy Idol was under a misapprehension as to what it actually sounded like).
For the longest time, I thought it was ‘Reelin’ in the sheaves…’ (on the bright side I know it’s ‘ting tang walla walla bing bang…’).
I like it, but it’s always struck me as ‘gloomy’.
I always thought you sailed on a ship, but the song’s neat. Mike Pinera (guitarist) went on to join ‘Iron Butterfly’.

Looking good. Probably starved (according to HIS account, anyway).

For some people, being born is a long, drawn out process.
It only ends when they’re fully adult.
Some of us took longer i think.
I’m not so sure that i am yet.
All the grandkids don’t think of me as an adult. I’ll grow up with them when I have to. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy them as they are at this age.
Even then they tend to be a bit sketchy.
Not to put too fine a point on it.
Reminiscent of Escher’s hand drawing itself.
My thought too… it’s close enough that I’d call it an homage.
Substitute for your left leg fallen off?
GROAN!
…or his right leg, for that matter.
Makes me think of this website:

How do you make yourself stand out if you’re not “normal”?
This might appeal to the artists the most. While I’ve created 3D printed and mechanical objects, many of these are way beyond my skills.
I have a friend who makes 3D printers. He made a 3D bioprinter (print veins & arteries with living cells) for his PhD project. He went to Africa with a bunch of 3D printers and set them up for making simple prostheses. I will forward your link to him.
Beautiful
But how did he draw the pen?
Faster than anyone else in the Ol’ West.

My mom used to do that, but with the gas burner.
She stopped smoking when I was in high school.
Eep! I feel better NOW, knowing that your mother gave up that habit. Actually, both of them. And I realize that these events you describe were more than three years ago.
It may surprise you to know that I’ve been out of high school for over ten years!
Then again, it may not.
one of our kids just had a 40th year celebration of GRAMMAR school graduation,8th grade!
Good thing you weren’t born till he was in 7th grade.

Impressive catch!
Seems reasonable.
It’s the best time in your life to start smoking.
I am over 65. I’ve never smoked a day in my life. Yet doctors and medical people continually ask me if I smoke. I have taken to telling them that I’m considering taking it up “because I want to be one of the ‘cool kids’.”
I just went through a couple of days of that.
I had a question for my doctor, and one for the pharmacy at my HMO.

Hot summer, three weeks after the demise – I’ve seen (and smelled) that.
Voluntary college class “Legal Knowledge”, field trip to the local pathology.
Ohhhhhh, that’s some nasty smell from what I’ve heard. That’s why first reponders have Vicks for their noses, right?

Look at the size of the paws on those pups. Those are going to be some BIG dogs.
Plus, I love that they are so curious about what “dad” is doing.
You should see Buddy’s. He has paddles.

First they call her “Young lady” when she’s obviously a grown woman… she looks well out of her 20s to me.
Then they suggest women might want to commit suicide if a few hairs are out of place, as in the illustration.
Then they try to sell us a little jar of vegetable oil and lanolin to grease it up with and make it look tidy.
None of that is patronizing, right?
Of course not! If she had a brain, none of that would affect her in the slightest, right? Then again, if she was a typical girl/woman/young lady, this ad could hit her right in her weakness. At least, that’s what these moronic ad people are relying on. Well, how well did Charles Antell Formula 9 and Shampoo sell, based on this ad? Did somebody get a bonus because sales went up? Or did they change to another ad agency because this one just had no feel for the demographic at that time?
Apparently Formula 9 sold quite well for a while.
Happy to say Charles Antell is long out of business though.
I couldn’t find much about the company.
One website that didn’t give any source material said he was driven out of business in 1954 cos his “lanolin” was actually lard…
But comments from others about using it, maybe even in the 60s, seem to refute that.
From 1953.
I know this product was still around in the late sixties, I can’t find any evidence of its existence today.

Tonight’s puzzle was a bit of a challenge… but you can find all ten.
I’m posting the solution earlier than usual, just so I don’t end up posting it late.
Happy hunting!

The scene would’ve been a bit more fun if he was trophy hunting with a rifle.
My 9 check out.

You beat me to it.
Poor little day-flying-moth! Hasn’t earned its instrument ratings so it has to fly during the dangerous daytime.
I can’t see tonight.
I’ll see you all in the morning.
I may have found all ten differences, but don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret.
Your secret will be safe here….
Just hide it in this empty

(but I did fix it / thank you)
Yes.
Laugh my ass off! XD
That puzzle was crazy hard (9), but absolutely beautiful.
that’s why i didn’t even try it.
Always try!
You never know… And you feel so good when you succeed.
If you only find 3, you still found them. And you don’t have to tell!
you make sense! i will try next week….
I hope you at least took a good look at the picture. I particularly liked this one.
The weirdest thing had happened here, when I came back and refreshed, just before my most recent comments.
About halfway down, some videos had moved up the page to replace the ones above them.
Hard to explain…
But first, I thought Tigressy had reposted Happy³s Elizabeth Cotton video to MCTS.
I got down to Happy³s post, and that video had been replaced by his Pete Seeger video from the comment below!
Next, his Seeger video below that was blank.
I refreshed the page again, and Wallace and Grommet showed up in Tigressy’s post, as intended, and Happy³s videos were back in their proper slots.
I’ve never seen that happen!
It just happened again, 2 hours later!
Things like that have happened sometimes in the early days of this site.
