Top Ten Reasons to buy a fruitcake candle or, Nothing says "I love you" like a fruitcake candle 1.   The fun of receiving it.   There is nothing like the surprise on someone's face when they find out they have been TRICKED and actually have the fruitcake candle in their possession, instead of a gift, or an item in your refrigerator, or something edible. 2.   It is the fun of hiding it for someone.   Doesn't everyone want be sneaky and hide things and then wish they could "see your face" when their cleverness was discovered?   There is a certain amount of skill that goes into finding the perfect place for disposing...I mean, “hiding” the candle for someone else to discover. 3.   It creates awesome memories for adults and children alike!   Who didn't reminisce about either their own or someone else's clever way of passing on the candle.   Even the kids can join in the fun of helping to hide or helping to discover.   And in some c...

Here is why: In my 50 years of planetary occupation (yes, I’ll admit it, I'll be 50 this May!) I have learned it is not about me.   I have met many people during this half-century, and I have discovered I am a very blessed person.  There are people who are without a home, so they do not have a warm, comfortable bed at night or the simple luxuries we take for granted like showering or washing our clothes when we want.  I own a car, so I do not need to walk or bike in difficult weather conditions in order to travel to work, to the grocery store, or to enjoy coffee with a friend.  And if I am hungry, I walk to my fridge and find something to eat, fix food in my kitchen, or hit the Wendy's drive-through and buy a grilled chicken sandwich.  When it comes right down to it, I have a nice roof over my head, plenty of food and clothes, and a cute, little red car that runs well and gets me where I want to go.   I am very blessed. However, I am not blind ...

Starlog Day 2, 4 hours Second Day, Second Life, “Charlie’s” First Lesbian Experience?             I decided to learn more about the Second Life culture, and see if I couldn’t better equip myself to maneuver this foreign world.   I searched and watched a few Youtube videos so I could learn more about the basics.   My goal for this next attempt, I needed to learn how to communicate.             For whatever reason, when I logged into Second Life, there were plenty of people walking around and several were helpful.   I was excited, I was communicating with people in Second Life!!   I asked for help.   I changed my shape (apparently, to do some of these things you need to upgrade to “advanced” mode, which does NOT cost anything!).   I had a Miss Sweetwater ask why I was so short.   I changed the view to see the front of me.   I had morphed i...

For my COM 399 class, I have to use Second Life and write about the eperience.  Although this is not my final paper, I am sharing my first draft, of my first experience in Second Life.  You can stay tuned for the final paper!! Second Life of Frustration Why I don’t play video games How to be reduced to feeling like an idiot             First let me start by saying I don’t play video games.   I did not grow up playing them, and when I do play them, I am quickly reduced to feeling like an idiot.   And since I feel I am a fairly intelligent person, I don’t enjoy feeling like an idiot.   Which I do, every time my software is updated or I get a new computer.   I have long since learned not to do things that make me feel like an idiot.             That said, I started this assignment with no prior knowledge of Second Life.   I decided I would wat...
