My New Snow HUD

OK I got this amazing thing, now all I have to do is to try to convince some genius and humble builder to help me set it up on Southern Charm. Oh, I should ask Dej if he wants some snow too.

Get it at Marketplace, Falling Snow System from Studio Skye. I think I got the winter terrain textures also, but I am not sure right now...

For the first time ever winter will be coming to Southern Charm this year!

(Name withheld)™: Hey, hey :) Did you look around your house today or yesterday? I think someone left something for you
Bock McMillan: LOL no
(Name withheld)™: Not me, but someone else…
Bock McMillan: I just came on shortly yesterday and today I came straight here. Someone left something?
(Name withheld)™: OK. go look at your bedroom when you have a chance, just a hint
Bock McMillan: Do I need to go home and see at once? And WTF were you doing in my bedroom?
(Name withheld)™: Uhmm maybe you should go see before he logs on at least
Bock McMillan: LOL OK
(Name withheld)™: I wasn't in your bedroom, he told me. And knowing you, I knew you wouldn't notice lol

I teleport home to check what’s going on.and this is what I find in my bedroom.
Bock McMillan: Awwwwwww
(Name withheld)™: Isn't that like super sweet
Bock McMillan: It is ;)
(Name withheld)™: I almost cried when he told me... I'm a softy lol
Bock McMillan: Sweet
(Name withheld)™: Are you touched? You should hear how he talks about you. He's really smitten mate!
Bock McMillan (after a long silence): It’s unbelievable but… I think I found a second good man
(Name withheld)™: Huh? Are you kidding me?
Bock McMillan: Kidding you?

(Name withheld)™ proceeds to copy and pastes in the last sentences I have uttered

Bock McMillan: Yeah, I know what I said, where is the joke?
(Name withheld)™: OK, you are confusing me
Bock McMillan: In what way
(Name withheld)™: Well, what do you mean?
Bock McMillan: I found a second good man, what’s confusing about it?
(Name withheld)™: Explain! ... Oh, you mean after dad?
Bock McMillan: LOL duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(Name withheld)™: O.M.G, I thought you found another guy besides Tomais. Grrrr!
Bock McMillan: O.M.G! Are you crazy?
(Name withheld)™: Told you I was confused

(Name withheld)™ was nearly going to strangle you

Bock McMillan: I may use this on the blog
(Name withheld)™: Don't you dare! lol
Bock McMillan: I will actually, but I will replace your name with (Name withheld)
(Name withheld)™: Hahaha it's fine! But all kidding aside I was really shocked!
The thoughtful and sweet rose giver is rewarded
My son and heir is my oldest remaining friend in SecondLife. I have known and - mostly - loved him since 2007. We have had wonderful times, good times, bad times and horrible times together, but whenever something like this happens I am made aware of how much I do love him.

Mission of Mercy

My prospective lover and I decided to go out motorboating yesterday. As Butch logged into SecondLife just as Tomais was preparing the boat he was invited to join us.
After we had been out to sea, enjoying the sun, wind and pleasant conversation (although I was secretly irritated by Butch shamelessly flaunting his huge bulge at my boyfriend) Tomias informed us that he had received a "Mayday"-call. Apparently the Prince of Paradijs, my son and heir, had been out flying with Dex Moleno in one of my son's latest toys (The big spender bought no less than t-w-o airplanes yesterday) and had now crashed somewhere in the middle of the Blake Sea.

I suggested to Tomais that we should ignore it and let the princeling stew a while on the desolate island, but the man has a heart of gold and was by the steering wheel so it was - after a little bickering on my part - decided that we would be merciful and pick Guyke up anyway.
When we arrived at the island the poor princeling was huddling by a fire and looked like a drowned cat, at that moment my heart overflowed (temporarily) with warm and fuzzy feelings and I was happy that I had been persuaded.
Having picked up Guyke we continued the trip across the Blake Sea and later ended up getting merman-outfits and merman-AO's, but thats another post.

Happy Thanksgiving

I wish all of my American family, lover and friends a wonderful thanksgiving, with loads of food and drink, football and games with family members who are as peaceful and contented as the people in Norman Rockwell's illustration.

Happy Blogoversary Eddi Haskell's Second Life

My mentor in blogging Eddi Haskell's celebrates the fifth blogoversary of his blog today. The blog has now been renamed Eddi & Ryce's Second Life.

Thank you for five wonderful years, Eddi my friend, and I for one am hoping for five more years of following you!

Hugs buddy!

Crown Shopping

Late in the evening yesterday the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls, Sovereign Ruler of the Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment Region and Outer Territories and finally UN appointed Protector of the Solace Island and Mount Whitney sims in SecondLife, and Tomais Ashdene, Duke of Erat etc, etc, decided that it was high time that Guyke, Prince of Paradijs, and Butch (who is a prince of Cascade Falls but has not yet formally been bestowed a title) had earned their crowns. Butch was reluctant - in his traditional sheepish manner - but a crown was forced on him nonetheless.

Two beautiful crowns were purchased at Medieval Designs for the upcoming audience with the haughty Queen BM, Queen of the Netherlands in SecondLife etc, etc.
