I went to that website and put it in my favorite places. Oh by the way, I leanred how to crop in paint.net.

Took a tutorial.

Not bad. Oh, something fascinating. I don't go to second life that much because well, I find it boring, but my son gave me 1000 linden dollars to buy myself a new outfit, some hair and jewelry.

You should have seen me having a ball today in the fashionable boutiques in second life. I purchased a gown, and some diamonds. Then I went looking for hair. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to buy the hair.

I emailed my son and demanded that "HE BUY HIS MOTHER SOME HAIR".
After he stopped laughing, he agreed to meet me in the boutique in second life and buy me some hair.

Oh the things we learn at 59.

mel

you are an absolute HOOT...

Next time I visit the KID, I'll ask him to take me there. I think I will need an
escort the "first time"... LOL Maybe he will give me some Linden $$ for my birthday, too?

Hi Melody,

I have to say, from your avatar, you are a beautiful woman!! I think these people are definitely jealous! It's their insecurities coming out.

I am like you, I can't think of a come-back at the time, but later on, after thinking about it, I can think of several things that I wish I would have said to them.

It's a shame when others can't be "just" happy for us for improving ourselves and for just being us, whether we are fat, skinny, tall, or short!!

Good Luck to You!!

Take care,
Linda

Every time I imagine that person telling me I look haggard, I remember telling Alan that and he burst out laughing and said "whatever you look like, it's not haggard, believe me.

Oh, he came home from the gym looking all morose and I said "iI've fixed you a nice grilled chicken for lunch". He said "oh no, I gained three pounds, I'm up to 191". "I'll take just the salad".

I picked up his arm, showed him his muscles and said "your three pounds went here", "you have to feed this". He brightened up and then ate like a horse.

Sigh, the things we wives have to say.

By the way, I like the comeback "I beg your pardon". That's my favorite, it should stop them dead in their tracks. THAT!!! or I'll simply punch them upside their heads!!!!

lol

Melody, next time your nosey neighbor asks where you are going all made up just say "I am going to meet my boyfriend" then put your fingers to your lips like shhhh. They don't have to know your boyfriend is Alan. ha ha ha

I have the worst neighbors next door to us, They are an old couple and they criticize and nit pick everything, even to the point of telling the neighbors on the other side of them that their landscaping rocks where spilling over into their landscaping rocks. Give me a break! So you can figure we don't get along because I speak my mind at times. So they are always looking over the back wall at us when we are outside. The old lady thinks she is being sneaky looking through the holes in the tops of her bricks but her hair is higher than the bricks so we spot her and the dogs bark at her. SO to get even one day when she was spying on us I did something for my hubby and I won't mention what it was but it sure made her quit spying on us anymore.

Melody, you are such a fun loving person and I am sure it is petty jealousy with these people. Keep smiling and laugh away with these people. Have some fun...Sue
