I got bored the other day and started a Second Life account, just to look around at the DD areas and see what it's like. I figured that hubby will be gone for a week every month, so I can explore there in my spare time since it seems to take forever to get around in there and understand anything.
My person is OK, I had someone give me a person because the one I had wasn't what I wanted. You need to explore and find freebies going in to get stuff you want, then if you get serious, you can buy shit.
What the hell, I've wasted my time on dumber things.

Watch out for the psychofans. They're just as crazy in avatar form as they are in real life! I almost signed up a long time ago, but that's the sort of site I might spend too much time on.

That's why I figured, what the hell, I"m going to have 5 days of boredom here when hubby is gone. There is a Facebook page for their "Duran Duran Universe", I've added it so I can look at what types of parties they have there.

If I ever go back to Facebook I'll have to check that out.

I burned out on all the stupid notices from my Appalachian friends and relatives. Apparently the only channel their cable company carries is Faux "news."

I'd rather watch a blank screen than Fox.

Sadly they don't have such high standards there. My mom thinks that working at WalMart is a good job.

I'm sure in her area it probably is. Sad, isn't it?

It's beyond sad, it's disgusting. Thanks to greed and republican economic practices an entire generation in the Rust Belt grew up on welfare, and a new generation's growing up the same way.

People are so focused on their own lives, they don't see how they've been used.

They're so poor that they're stuck there. It's all they know. I'm very glad that I got out. I probably would have killed myself out of sheer frustration by now if I were still there.

My hubs' father said to him "you'll be a Democrat until you make enough money to be a Republican". Bullshit. Just because he was a lowlife uncaring jerk his whole life doesn't mean Hubs will ever be like him. His father is someone I never liked, he cheated on his mother, and cared little about spending time with his kids when he was alive, unless they could do something for him. Hubs, being the caring and forgiving type, was always there.
I met him once, when he was sick with cancer. It was before we got married. By then he was losing his mind in the literal sense, non coherent sometimes. I can't say what he would have been like with me if he had his mind, but if he treated Hubs badly, I would have told him about it.

The old man sounds like the poster child for today's republican party.
In a way it's kinda sad, I really don't see how the moderate republicans are going to be able to save their party. There won't be any serious opposition to the democrats if this keeps up, and even though I'm a liberal, it makes me nervous to think of everything in D.C. being overly one-sided.

Well, about Second Life....
Now that my guys are back home and on a regular schedule, I can write a bit about what I've seen there.
The DD world there is kinda neat, but the site as a whole needs upgrading. Maybe it's my non Cadillac version video card, who knows. Seems to me that they need to update more, get more servers and better speeds. It can be very laggy at times.
There are all kinds of places to visit, but just like real life, men hit on you. My god, you can go to a nude beach there, seriously. There are sections for just about everything if you look hard enough. They have program "balls" that can animate your avatar to do just about anything, dance, sex, etc.
I haven't seen many Duranies in there, but since I"m on during the day, that might be the issue. I'm sure more are on during weekend nights when I'm in bed.
