I say almost free, that is if you have an internet connection with some speed - dsl or better.
And that deal? Facebook.
Thanks to Facebook I have a dander free pet in Pet Society which I've actually spent $9.95 of Real money to buy "coins" can you read "fake money" to which I have purchased for my Pet, named after my heart cat: Tik Tok: A white potty, a white bathtub, curtains, clothes, a fridge, a tiara, wallpapers galore, and flooring too. Ooo and those Mystery Boxes!! Every day I visit her friends, which now number 32, and each visit earns us 5 coins. She has a lovely pink heart-shaped bar of soap and she must be washed daily, or house flies begin to follow her around. She eats apples and strawberries but cheese cake (at 60 coins a pop) is her favorite.
Next on the time killer list at Facebook: Pirates - Rule The Caribbean!
And my sweet pet dons her eyepatch and becomes Capt Tik Tok, dreaded swashbuckler. With work and patience she now earns over 10000 gold coins An Hour. I should do so well. She owns ships, hidden coves, a Voodoo Hut too. Rifles, and daggers, and two hand grenades, oh and a green parrot. She has a crew of 7 now.
Next...>Fish Wrangler!
I actually donated $1 to buy "Red Love Chum" to use in this months Tuna Tournament, where one can actually win a $20 gift card to Amazon. I teamed up with friends to nighfish so it's sort of Fishing on autopilot as I don't have to be online.
And two days ago I was invited to play Farm Town, and now I have a wee yellow chick following me around my plowed and seeded potato and rice plots.
And you wonder why I haven't been to my blog ;0)

25 notes about myself..msg
I have a Facebook account now and recently was "tagged" to do 25 notes about myself. Here they are:
The original title was "25 Dizzy Notes About Myself"...>
1. I say dizzy because this afternoon, about 3 pm I become so dizzy I couldn't sit in this chair. After lying down for almost two hours I am still whooozy in the head. I have no idea why. That being said....>
2. I was born, and spent most of my early days in Arizona. I always considered Prescott my home. I spent years trying to figure out a way to make a living in Prescott and move back. Last time I was there it has changed to so very much that the word "home" will never dovetail with the name "Prescott" again.
3. I remember in 1970 when I begged my folks to buy a two story building which included a bakery and gift shop on a main highway in Sedona, AZ. It was less than $100k. and that included the land. My Dad said that "Hell no one would want to live in Sedona who wasn't growin' apples." They never listened to me.
4. My family use to own a ranch on the west side of Phoenix, AZ, about where Sky Harbor Intl Airport now sits.
5. On a ranch in Texas, in 1959, I picked up a rock and asked my Mom: "How did a sea shell get here?"
She said it was during the Great Flood in the Bible. My interest in fossils started that day, though it was years before I knew that sea shell was indeed a fossil.
6. I worked in the oil patch in the late '70s through the mid 80's. Recently an friend from those years found me by "googling" my name and emailing me through one of my web sites. Nice to be remembered ;0) We chat once a week now. 25 years later...and it's just like we never went our separate ways.
7. As you may know, my spelling is not very good. We moved a lot when I was a kid. I went to three different schools in the second grade, and the third grade too. Two different schools for the fourth grade. Every school taught differently, and were at different places in different school books. We moved to Carleton, TX, for six months in '59 (see number 5 above) to help some old friend of my Dad's. I got in trouble in school for not using "a final T" in my beginning cursive lessons = What the hell was a final T?? I finally learned btw. That same teacher accused me of wearing makeup. I was in the second grade. The school was so small it had two grades per room.
8. I hated school except when lived outside of Lebanon, Oregon for a few months. I started the 4th grade in some rural school and I loved the teacher and everything about it. I have always felt that had we have stayed there I might have been able to learn and not be frightened of being behind all the time. We had to move back to AZ, my sister had asthma and couldn't breath most of the time.
9. When I was in the first grade we had drills for the possibility of an atomic bomb being dropped by Russia then known as The Soviet Union. We were taught to "drop and cover" by crawling under our school desks. This was the start of the Cold War. We were even put on buses and taken out into the desert for drills. I was so frightened that I'd never see my Mother again I truly think I was emotionally scared for most of my life. I was always terrified I'd never be able to find her. When I moved into this house, after she died, and going through old papers, I found a memographed sheet of instructions from the school detailing this was a real possibility and that the school would take care of us. There was no monster under my bed, it was sitting in Moscow, preparing to wipe America off the face of the earth.
10. I love the music from "Soring Over California" - the ride at Disneyland. Love the ride, love the music.
11. I enjoy this time of the year, it's very cool to cold at night, but days are in the 60's.
12. I would like to visit Scotland one more time, London too.
13. I've enjoyed how the world has changed to much with the internet. The Elephant's Child can be fed 24 hours a day.
14. If I could have a new career I would like to be a historian, esp anything to do with early California and the gold rush.
15. I regret I didn't join the Navy after college.
16. I am so blessed to have met and married my husband aka Mr. Calm
17. I don't read books as often as I use too.
18. I would love to start swimming again.
19. My husband and I once helped breakup a cock fight ring by going under cover.
20. I want to be cremated with at least a pound of uncooked bacon in my casket. I want my body to float to the next life with my favorite food.
21. Speaking of which, in my next life I want to sing like Topol and look like Antonio Banderas - well maybe a bit taller.
22. The best Sherlock Holmes ever is/was the late Jeremy Brett.
23. My favorite movie is Last Of The Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis..or maybe any of The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies with Johnny Depp.
24 My living room has two black walls, decorates with everything collectible about Pirates we already owned or could build. And lots of fake coins and jewelry. Even a snake hanging from a branch in the ceiling. All we are missing is Tia Dalma.
25. I practice being calm every day.

Happy 2009 to all and a link!
Another New Year, another chance to "get it right!!"
About a month ago I was surprised and a bit disappointed to find that the web site for the Zoo where Sera and the cubs lived and removed all the links pertaining to them, to the baby giraffe etc. Well just now I realized that "Arkiv" must mean "Archive" and Yes!!! I found the archives, not only for 2008 but older:
Archives for Dyreparken
And all the links to the updates about Sera and the cubs ;0)

Here is a fun online test
You get to find out what color you really are VBG and the explanation for that color. It's based on the HTML colors btw. Link to the test is in my results:
#DA70D6 |
Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything. |
