I have been remiss to mention... Welcome you to March! I just can't believe it... I also can't believe that in just EIGHT days I'll be celebrating my 39th birthday!But that's not the reason for this blog... 1 is to explain where I came up with "Happy HUG Day"! Actually I can NOT take credit for it... it's the creation of Mama Di (aka Quiet Warrior)...
I adopted it for the same reason she came up with it... I do NOT like the other term used... to... uh... indecent for me!!! I've never liked that term... & even more so with all the graphics associated to the day!
Anyway... I also wanted to let you all know I called the doc's office & they are calling me in another 20 Vicodin... however, if the pain does not improve in the next week, he wants me to follow up with him!
Even though I have this new laptop to keep me company... I'm starting to go stir crazy... HOWEVER... I do have to say one thing... my hubby is taking care of me.. though albeit with a little bit of complaining... he's doing it! So, I'm NOT going to complain!! Hey, he even just put the dishes in the dishwasher... AND he's been making supper... I think it's GREAT!!! :)
So, I have you all to keep my mind occupied... along with my "second life"... Have you ever heard of Second Life (SL)?? It's a virtual world... where you create an avatar & "live"... it's a blast! I have my sister to thank for it. (Or some may say blame... since I spend a lot of time there! LOL)
As I get used to it & then teach Gina (my sis) on how to use it... then I won't be on quite as much... I hope! LOL
So, if you are a "resident" of SL let me know your user name & I'll look you up & we can get together & go shopping or even hang out at "my place" or even go to a Bible Study or even Church! You can even enroll in classes to learn REAL LIFE (RL) things! :)
If you're there & are looking for a place to live... for free... I know the place! I found it by accident this past weekend.
It's a great Christian place for Women... & on the same island there is housing for men! & Then we have a church we all can go to.
If you've never tried SL or here of it... I included a link in the full name up above. I will tell you this... before you download the program... you will need a computer that can handle the graphics... if you have an older computer, I would NOT suggest it!
Also, I do NOT suggest it for any one who does not have much time on their hands, because it is quite addictive!!! You really do not want to know how much time I've spent on it in the past 5 days... (today will be my 6th day on it!) I am learning fast!
I also do NOT recommend it for anyone with young ones who can view or even get on it! There are some parts that are MATURE!! Personally, I avoid those areas (most are marked!) & ones I happen across by accident. well, I run or fly out or just teleport to my home location!!! Just wish I could teleport to home in RL!! :o)
If you are careful you can enjoy a great SECOND LIFE!! (By the way, I got the logo from Google Images!!!)
My goal is to become a SL Mentor... eventually!! One that hangs out at the "Wings of Hope" Island! :)
Again... if you are new to it... feel free to seek me out for any help! If I can't help... I have several friends already & 2 are mentors!
By the way... my name on SL is: LadyHarley Destiny
You have the ability to choose your 1st SL name... but they give you a list of names to choose from for your last name. But I found out that the list of last names changes... so if you want to be my "relative"... then you may not get the same last name as me.
Ok, that's it for this trip... I hope you'll join me for the next trip aboard The Rambling Express!!
Hmmm...that sounds interesting and ... scary ... at the same time, LOL! Happy early bday! I am going to be 40 this year and THAT scares me, lol! I just don't feel (mentally) that old ... physically is another matter.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are still in so much pain ... praying that it subsides this week!
{{{{HUGS}}}} Come check out the photos of my kitties - I think they're adorable! *smile*
I'm gonna check this second life thing out. sounds interesting
ReplyDeleteWell it sure does sound like fun. But I am one that does not have much time to devote to that kind of thing. I am glad you are enjoying it though. Your computer still has a 10pm bed time though. Got it?!?!?! Luv ya!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSL sounds interesting but it's not really for me. I'm happy that it has helped with daily stress. :)
ReplyDeletewell sound interesting, I heard of it it look so hard,were is it again I go all over, all depend on what browsers I have at the time I have 2 and one does more
ReplyDeleteI'll take a peek some time, though as an ex-player of Ultima Online, I know hoa addicting these alterante existences can be!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for the comments :)
ReplyDelete& Eyesofsubmission... thanks for the birthday wishes! :) 1 more week & counting! Wonder if after next year if I'll be this excited from now on? LOL Next year is the big ol' 4-0!!
Later all! :)
It was good to be 39. I was frightened deeply about turning 40, thinking that the life I knew would be over and everything would be down hill. Let me tell you, my 40th birthday was one of the very best birthdays I've ever had! I would compare it to turning 16. Life isn't over at 40. Life starts at 40!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that tid bit! Remind me of that this time next year!! :) LOL... Because I'm already starting to worry about being 40! :)
ReplyDeleteCan you tell that I'm really liking the new site Denise introduced me to??

It's cool for customized text!! :)
I've never really been "freaked" about turning any age, just surprised when I actually reached each age. The first 39 years have been like a monster roller coaster ride... i'm hoping the next 39 or 40 or however many I have left start bringing the things I've always dreamed off and have tried my very best to accomplish. Hopefully the road will start to smooth out and if it doesn't I know I have all these years of experience to deal with it. Heck turning 40 could be the year that life turns into that "cool breeze blowing through my hair" (you guys remember the old York Peppermint Paddy commercials???? :)
