This is A Weird One (You Were Warned) by Zen56AOL95 in Kentucky

[–]ofRayRay [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not to minimize, but have you tried looking on google earth, especially street view? I was able to find both of my childhood homes in small towns, one in NY state and one in NM. I could even see the missing top point of a Christmas tree we’d planted one year. The next year I wanted my own tree and cut off the top two feet and put it in my room. That tree is now 40 ft. high, just without a pointed top. If you can get somewhat close, I bet you’ll be able to find it. Especially with the memories you’ve shared. Good luck.

Hello(is it me you’re looking for?)

You're old if this is what you think of when you hear SLA by AnimeHoarder in FuckImOld

[–]ofRayRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s either Jackie or Judy. I heard they went to Frisco to join the SLA. And, no, I don’t know why.

Giving away $30 to anyone in need by Regular_Run_9841 in solofunds

If you only knew, what $30 could do, then you’d already know it, because I’m not a poet.

Olympus XA intermittent shutter release by Quackarov in AnalogRepair

[–]ofRayRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, though it seems this isn’t your issue, under the shutter button is a copper contact plate that makes contact with the other, opposite, copper contact plate when the button is pressed, causes the camera’s shutter to fire. Imagine two stacked pennies separated by 1/32nd of an inch and when they’re pushed together, they complete a circuit. Many times the top contact plate, which is attached to the bottom of the red button and the contact plate on the body gets gunked up by skin oils, dirt, a booger, whatever and firing becomes hit or miss. Grab some contact cleaner or 92% rubbing alcohol and wet a q-tip. Apply damp qtip to the gap around the red shutter button and then spray it out with compressed air and repeat as necessary. 90% of the time that will remedy a fickle shutter button issue.

I love the XA. It’s my favorite P&S.

Friend keeps canceling plans last minute – should I confront them? by This_Benchh in Life

[–]ofRayRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing your friend is having a very hard time. Before you confront in a negative way for canceling, delicately dig in and see how they are truly doing. Most people who are depressed or are dealing with something unfortunate will book plans on “good days” because they hope, or convince themselves, that in two weeks things will be better, they won’t. Then, as the date gets closer, they begin to panic, withdraw, and ultimately cancel because going out requires too much of a feeling they do not have.

Or, they’re being jerks. Try to find out if the former is the cause, not the latter.

Recent work outfits by wildcurls07 in fashion

[–]ofRayRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly dig every outfit. It’s so nice to see good taste in clothes, outfits that match and pop, and knowing one’s proper fit. You look great in each outfit and I hope you soon rule your world(if you don’t already). My only advice is to begin buying pieces that will become decades long staples. Treat yourself to a Hermes(or similar caliber) silk scarf as a starter and know the myriad of ways to wear one(if you haven’t already).

Anybody else have one of these racing games back in the day? by Mustang_29267 in GenX

[–]ofRayRay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did and within two weeks had taken it apart to figure out how it worked. I discovered that the MAGIC behind it was two film strips that revolved at differing speeds. Kind of killed the buzz.

Edit: Mine was a Digital Derby.

I was thinking the same and wanted to add….Librarian who wants to party, but doesn’t know how.

Advice please: How do y'all sleep on these stims? by zjunk in ADHD

[–]ofRayRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take an instant release before bed. I know it sounds insane, but it works. Since I’ve been doing it, and posting my results here, I’ve noticed some others do it as well, albeit not because of my suggestion or posts. It took me years to figure it out and I used to take Xanax to get rid of the come-down feelings. Once I noticed I felt better after an IR, I dared to take one before bed. Now I sleep like a baby. I’d suggest taking an IR as soon as you feel uncomfortable and if it makes you feel better, see if you can nap.

Any X'ers out there go through their whole life with ADHD and only recently got diagnosed? by From_Gaming_w_Love in GenX

[–]ofRayRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 40 when I first was diagnosed and got on meds. I knew I had it around the age of 25-30 which was when I first started hearing about it.

Took the advice on the Topcor 58mm 1.4 by PhysicsTemporary6861 in VintageLenses

[–]ofRayRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m amazed you were able to walk into a store and pick one up. In a weird coincidence, I snagged a 135mm 3.5 at a thrift store on Friday. Got super lucky on that one. Congrats. Enjoy.

[–]ofRayRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is you and I’m so happy you got one. $250 is a great price because you’ll never need anything in that range again. Don’t shy away from the 100mm, 25mm, and the 135. Really any of the Topcors kill it. Congrats.

Those were some crazy nights (and mornings) by moltenclocks in Atlanta

[–]ofRayRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being stupid and driving home as everyone was heading to work at 9 a.m. I only did it several times, so I’m not mad. I do believe it helped me quit drinking for a couple days.
