He escaped six years later and vowed to convert Ireland into Christianity and vanquished all snakes from Ireland not that there were any there to begin with. I think it's a metaphor for banishing evil.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> He wasn’t Irish nor was Patrick his real name. It was derived from the word “Patricus' ' in Latin; meaning nobleman or father figure. His real name was Maewyn Succat and he claimed that he deserved being kidnapped because of his lack of faith in God. He also claimed to hear voices and have visions too. Kinda like Joan of Arc. That’s pretty deep ya’ll.</span></p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj78cHRP0XHKNII2i3y0V0xXKxeZd8e8tligmaMOz3ysZfeXAwSmGRO_fzgAV_mV3X16hbAC390cNFFZQt-mIzqAiRO8pLHB4uKd8VXzv9rGEzSMC5WAbR1RfbGExpSJPu7U-bTqkMv7PWgHWAXy7S0t_qQMZC2ZF00e38KgTXLf3_bFTdnqpPHbYFPmXk/s411/st%20patrick%20in%20blue.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="411" data-original-width="335" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj78cHRP0XHKNII2i3y0V0xXKxeZd8e8tligmaMOz3ysZfeXAwSmGRO_fzgAV_mV3X16hbAC390cNFFZQt-mIzqAiRO8pLHB4uKd8VXzv9rGEzSMC5WAbR1RfbGExpSJPu7U-bTqkMv7PWgHWAXy7S0t_qQMZC2ZF00e38KgTXLf3_bFTdnqpPHbYFPmXk/s320/st%20patrick%20in%20blue.png" width="261" /></a><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Besides that, green wasn’t his favorite color either. It was blue. But be careful though…. rumor has it, If you don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, you might get pinched by a Leprechaun! </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Let me not even get started on the history of those holiday mascots...they are shoemakers that have some sort of fetish for gold that they hide at the end of a rainbow.

This holiday was really derived from Pagans, there was a lot of that witchery going on back then. March 17th was originally Ostara; the spring equinox, celebrating rebirth and the balance of the universe but it got hijacked by another religion. Now it seems to hold no religious value at all.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I’m no historian or religious freak but I know a little somethin’. I frankly don’t know what is being celebrated today though. It turned into a universal day of heavy drinking, pub crawls, lots of green and a hangover the next day.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In Second life, the holiday is about venue hopping,music and dancing while double fisting virtual beverages. Our avatar is not responsible for our real person's consumption habits on this day or any other day for that matter.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> I think I like this version of holiday observation best because I can actually interview a leprechaun and not even feel weird about it.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> With that said…</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner so off I ventured the grid in search of this year’s little green dude to snatch up and interrogate errrr…. Interview. I went to my old haunt for holiday mascots and didn’t find any leprechauns at an AA meeting…oddly enough.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> I even tried looking for the end of a rainbow and it led me to an LGBTQIA club. I hung out there a bit with great music and friendly peeps, then decided to go to the next best place…. The Blarney Stone -Irish Pub.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 248px; overflow: hidden; width: 477px;"><img height="248" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Le8m0nHBl2XW9xa86bVQIuWfpeivlncHS62yi3SoPdizlrNtntnxFyLgC7LZyIodDZu4sny0Ep6nbOJez1iLUxxiPQ3z2wd8F8dnSUnfAZ5bvceASYb0X2O5t8YywB6kqmBXfZ41D6GOT-1yp8bRl0k" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="477" /></span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I was a bit hesitant to go inside at first because of past history that I do not care to discuss. Let’s just say it was so worth the SLE police report at the time lol.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Anyway, while ordering up a nice cold Guiness and scanning the place, I noticed what looked like a giant Leprechaun. She seemed a bit intoxicated while dancing around and somewhat singing the lyrics to a song like a drunken karaoke superstar.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> I dropped my tab and tip on the bar and walked over to her. The first question I wanted to ask was where she shops when she voluntarily slurred out that she was a Leprechaun lookin for a good time. I found it a bit strange being that she was the height of an average avatar and that she was…. what appeared to be a woman…</span></p><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Thinking to myself, this holiday cannot get any stranger with its constant evolution but decided I’ll interview her.

Unraveling the mechanics behind credit card payments. Whenever you use a credit card to buy something you're essentially taking out a loan from the company that issued the card. It's important to repay what you've borrowed alongside any interest and charges by the deadline specified on your bill. If you miss these payments it can lead to fines and harm your credit rating.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Common Pitfalls to Avoid</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">One major mistake many people make is only making the minimum payment required each month. While it might seem like a choice it can lead to a cycle of debt due to high interest rates. Another common error is missing payment deadlines which can result in late fees that’ll harm your credit score. It's crucial to pay off your credit card bill in full and on schedule every month to avoid these pitfalls.

The club focuses on new and classic country music played by some of the most entertaining DJs in second life, Sunday through Friday, and a full day of Rock, new and classic, on Saturday on a massive lake dock.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> The concept for Blue Ridge Country began years ago by owner Hannock Evergarden well before even becoming a DJ. Hannock set out to learn everything he could about club operations. After DJ’ing at various clubs and becoming part owner of another well-established country music club and learning the day-to-day operations as well as managing staff, he observed what works and what does not and incorporated that knowledge into managing Blue Ridge Country. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> When the ideal of creating a club began to take form it was decided to begin small and build bigger if it became successful. The original club building was nothing more than a horse stable on ¼ region and the name for the club had not yet been decided and went through several concepts and ideas. Blue Ridge Country and its theme is based on the Appalachian mountains which is close by and familiar to Hannock’s hometown, so it was decided to go with what he knows. Once the concept began to take form it became obvious that if the club was going to have any chance of success, it was going to have to be larger and increased the area to ½ region. Plans were made for stores and trails with wildlife and scenic views as a dock for outside music sets. The club building was replaced with a mountain lodge large enough to accommodate several dozen with an area for games upstairs. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> A deciding factor for choosing the Blue Ridge concept is because it was different from the typical, western, cowboy type country music club. The entire club was built by Hannock and his wife Lola, soon after they were joined by Ange, hired as the club's general manager.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> On September 1</span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: 0.6em; vertical-align: super;">st</span></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">, 2023, Blue Ridge Country opened to the public with only 7 DJ’s and 7 hosts. Within 6 weeks the club employed 25 DJ’s and 24 hosts. Only 3 music sets per day were scheduled initially but eventually increased to 4 per day and 8 sets all day on Saturday’s. The club group members swelled to 200 by the end of the year. Plans were already in the works to move and enlarge the club and the owners went to work on a new club building. After trying several other designs, it was decided to expand and modify the current building. After the first of the year a full region was purchased, and work began on building the new club. The club is also going to be situated in a moderate rated region so as to be more family friendly. With the combined efforts of the club owners, Hannock & Lola as well as general managers, Ange & Myth, the new club, and region was completed in 6 weeks and on March 1</span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: 0.6em; vertical-align: super;">st</span></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">,2024, it became operational. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> Boasting beautiful views and mountain scenery adjoining a sim wide open water area.

It really is one of the best ways to spend the evening, and I did just that. I traveled around to seek out some of the best Country music venues I could find, and as usual, the grid did not disappoint. So grab your hat, put on your finest pair of boots, and get ready to hit the dance floor!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 264px; overflow: hidden; width: 501px;"><img height="264" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/c_7c5eoDJz4tsPxECWjFI5AYzmKUPB3EzRas3P6vZy43eC87_FkpP-GSQu8DHQBHEK21nov0NSgp4BYN4Pntf_v_31pR8KHCP5S6Dyk8EAP92JdgTZvB0-vwagl2o082mQx37hZYPOz5sZYyN5Wp6lk" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="501" /></span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jared’s Wildcat Country </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I started off strong at Jared’s Wildcat Country. The music was great, and the DJ played a wide variety of Country hits, as well as a mix of songs that aren’t heard on the radio normally. I love this because it gives us a chance to hear songs we may not have heard otherwise! The atmosphere was really friendly, and I felt like family!

Located inside a large red barn, it really gives off that country vibe. I was greeted immediately upon entering the sim, and everyone was warm and friendly. The music was upbeat and really made you want to get out there and shake it! (Which is exactly what I did!) I would definitely give this venue a 10/10 . It is a great place for a party! I especially loved the DJ at this Club, because he was funny, and kind , and greeted us all on voice, which is rare, but it really makes you feel special!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Kickin Boots:</span><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kickin%20Boots/104/59/3893" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kickin%20Boots/104/59/3893</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 248px; overflow: hidden; width: 473px;"><img height="248" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Dl3YBGZgZaK4MyV8ZbEt4kB6Y5OFvgjrNks4BY9mVaf4e6SoSftUYNeDFpeiE6m-RiY0VewHox2jfmoH-3rjxhDXqW3TFjkFF0fOdqe8V87wISpiXIm1SKTyuYgNL0hLMJR7jgAisR9T5xWAkmK-xMA" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="473" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Tennessee Whiskey Country Club</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I have to say that if I could pick a favorite of the night, Tennessee Whiskey Country Club would take that spot. Not only was the vibe very relaxed, they played some of my favorite Country tunes. I am a fan of 90’s country, and I got to hear some really amazing music here. It brought me back to my childhood and gave me that nostalgic feeling. It was truly a great place to kick back and forget that Monday is right around the corner!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Tennessee Whiskey Country Club:</span><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shadow%20Shore/197/28/3202" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shadow%20Shore/197/28/3202</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 250px; overflow: hidden; width: 477px;"><img height="250" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/-l-e-GYeFhbTicbD-giD45i4FqEwO0u2GM8OMAZVxV_FJ1ITu1u8K96P_B0hLfZw1z6jLJwIY0bVqwRg4s7fWeZJ7uRgS0V-nfBUHup4GoiH4CyIHPtB3VhU_HGHyw_XtncmktY0M2ArxNvYOUR9hDY" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="477" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Blue Ridge Country </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Blue Ridge Country was a really enjoyable place to be!

They played a great variety of Country from different decades, and this made it easy to want to stay all night! You never knew what song was coming next, but all of them were awesome! This is a really great Club if you are looking for a very laid back feel.

He or she will consider the shape, thickness, and symmetry of your eyebrows and take other facial features into account to determine the best placement for your eyebrow piercing(s). Take this opportunity to discuss your expectations for the piercing with your piercer as well as any concerns and medical history that may impact the piercing process.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Choose high-quality jewelry</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Choosing high-quality jewelry is important to reduce the risk of developing complications like allergic reactions, infections, or keloids. Consider the material. To lower the chances you’ll have problems, jewelry made of surgical steel, titanium, niobium, or 14- or 18-karat gold is best. Surgical steel or titanium that is work-hardened or annealed so it has a higher nickel-content should be avoided. Consult a professional before using metals such as nickel, copper, tin, zinc, or alloyed metals. Freshly cutting or melting jewelry can also alter its biocompatibility and produce allergic reactions.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Understanding the procedure </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Typically you sit up in the piercing chair and lean back so the piercer can properly perform </span><a href="https://www.freshtrends.com/pages/the-eyebrow-piercing#:~:text=The%20eyebrow%20piercing%20takes%20around,cause%20scarring%20and%20jewelry%20rejection." style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">the eyebrow piercing</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. During the actual piercing process, the piercer will use a sterilized hollow needle through the gentle tissue of the eyebrow in a relatively quick procedure. They will then slide the jewelry of your choice gently through the hole and operate with sterile forceps to fasten the jewelry of your choice onto the eyebrow.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Healing the right way </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Similarly, after getting a piercing, the piercer will tell you how to take care of it. He will tell you to wash it with a saline solution, or a mild non-alcoholic cleanser, to remove all debris and to avoid infection. He/she might also tell you to avoid things that could irritate it or cause damage to it, like staying away from swimming.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Try not to touch it </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is also important to keep your hands off your jewelry; avoid turning or pushing it, and playing with the jewelry is a definite no. During the time it takes for your body to heal and create the tunnel, the raw skin around the jewelry is processed into surgical-grade steel.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></span>The SL Enquirerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05759069845009937615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799549488984901926.post-39501306130807665472024-02-18T21:00:00.000-08:002024-02-18T21:00:00.138-08:00Invitation to Kinetics Dance Trunk Show: Celebrating the Season of Love (or Not)!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVY94f9jAsTNFY1eBaiNYjjsi83FppNo7OAE8qSuh-_mdqTscDD377gMKo4e8P99HE0wqkOun__rR_PRAvW5iGLGKE4vaHW4ucDaFNTrT7rJUWceYN2AsyQXMiuUcFuRlud-Diwaj-xwrqCCAeXl53YY9ZiwrVUTz-_xcyKNgkH3dHslzarsc52Yp6MAU/s400/Kinetics%20February%2024%20Poster%20SLE%20-%20Div%20M%20(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVY94f9jAsTNFY1eBaiNYjjsi83FppNo7OAE8qSuh-_mdqTscDD377gMKo4e8P99HE0wqkOun__rR_PRAvW5iGLGKE4vaHW4ucDaFNTrT7rJUWceYN2AsyQXMiuUcFuRlud-Diwaj-xwrqCCAeXl53YY9ZiwrVUTz-_xcyKNgkH3dHslzarsc52Yp6MAU/s320/Kinetics%20February%2024%20Poster%20SLE%20-%20Div%20M%20(2).png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We invite you to our February Trunk Show!

It has many practical benefits, which can make it a great choice of material in many situations. Below are a few reasons to incorporate more silk into your wardrobe.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silk adapts to the temperature</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silk has unique properties that allow it to stay cool in hot weather while also trapping heat in cold weather. This makes silk as useful a material for a summer dress as it is for a winter scarf. Silk shirts can meanwhile be worn all year round, helping you to regulate your temperature in the heat and cold.

This can help to promote a much more comfortable sleep by reducing sweating and making you feel more snug. If you get uncomfortable at night, consider getting yourself some silk pyjamas or treat yourself to something more luxurious such a </span><a href="https://www.natori.com/sleep-lounge/sleep/chemises/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Natori chemise</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silk is great for sensitive skin</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you have eczema or acne, you could find that materials like cotton rub more and irritate your skin. Silk is much more tightly woven and does not create the same friction, making it a better choice of material for those with sensitive skin. If you currently wear cotton clothing or synthetic fibres, consider switching to silk shirts and other silk clothing items and see if it makes a difference.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silk is hypoallergenic</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Allergen substances like mould, dust mites and pollen cannot penetrate silk. This makes it a much more suitable material for those with allergies than many other fabrics. </span><a href="https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/best-silk-bedding" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Hypoallergenic bedding</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> such as bedsheets and pillowcases often use silk. Combining this with silk nightwear could potentially help to reduce allergic reactions if you suffer from allergies at night. Some people can be allergic to silk, but this is fortunately very rare. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silk is incredibly robust</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">You may have heard before that silk is stronger than steel. This has some truth to it - while silk strands are thinner than human hairs, they have more tensile strength than steel, which makes silk clothing very hard-wearing and long-lasting compared to fabrics like cotton. Silk can still tear, but usually this is because fibres come apart rather than fibres snapping. The downside to silk is that it can stain easily and these stains are hard to remove, so you may not want to wear it in messy environments. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silk is biodegradable and recyclable</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Those who care about sustainable fashion may be interested to know that untreated silk is also completely biodegradable, unlike many of today’s synthetic materials. Silk can also be recycled - individually fibres can be taken apart and woven into new clothing. It is worth noting that silk is not vegan as it is made by silkworms and many of them are unfortunately killed in the process. Some silk is harvested in a more ethical way, which may be something to look into if you are concerned about how it is made. </span></p><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></span>The SL Enquirerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05759069845009937615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799549488984901926.post-66261189914764815512024-02-14T04:28:00.000-08:002024-02-14T04:28:01.494-08:00 INTERVIEW WITH CUPID 2024 Lanai Jarrico Reporting…<p><br /></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-69932ce3-7fff-2566-3e89-520980dde825"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 227px; overflow: hidden; width: 436px;"><img height="227" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/eAOwkno55cXtD98okXs7_jeoj62CSRaUwrL6SbGejAPKw_eVwJ1U_PWAsermGTNBWKgfwI3ITuah4fQe6mLv8eUcwCOZSyewXs_O23kcGniF0CKQHNF_r77-rHbOrtzmIqC9_D0gxiLMLroZZ91IllU" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="436" /></span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Last year’s Cupid managed to pull off a flawless Valentine’s Day, connecting couples and helping aid the population growth on the grid. It wasn’t from any *clears throat* threats or anything. However, once his assignment was done I heard “Bob” collected his payout, changed his identity and hopped on a plane to an undisclosed location never to be heard from again.

I have been searching for one in Second life with no real luck since getting out of rehab.

First things first, you need an authentic Cupid Uniform. This year let's add a little spice to the mix. According to my comment box, a lot of avatars are looking more for flings rather than long term commitments. Swinging and swapping seem to be the new craze so what I would like you to do is recruit associates to assist you in matchmaking.

Be happy, smile and enjoy the day. If you don’t hear the words “I love you….” Then the people around you are missing out on the amazing person you are. Love yourself and cherish it.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Happy Valentine’s day.</span></p><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lanai</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 391px; overflow: hidden; width: 420px;"><img height="391" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/_EB-nunpOTIs-goMLZA2UHqNkcKZ_YULteLNNUoNEjFCaHG0VJUqvkVvmOR3_AUANHZTBbrudO1WwFSvXlgDU15qzxkF1j5zW7wsvuGQ0SjNthvtBNf_rL5UYH1j5LTe4p6uzL3SsN5koMMTsDt7Euk" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="420" /></span></span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 391px; overflow: hidden; width: 420px;"><br /></span></span></div></span>The SL Enquirerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05759069845009937615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799549488984901926.post-74931646750993372272024-02-12T21:00:00.000-08:002024-02-12T21:00:00.640-08:00Venues that rock! - 5 great places to rock & roll on the grid- Hazel Silvermoon- Reporting<p> <img height="303" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/FybhNxD8dpSCGKQ8_5sfeOPV3J82nGi3nyju-9fUkyMgCTyh-S6W7BzNnZv30lC210AyetuTiQKrLpIYgYJf8loR7j7vYqccYl4zD-C1G1EO3pHNim6qb9vJlrkB8gr6XP2F3o4DM1C5OPP0M9ovWvw" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;" width="303" /></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e9eddcee-7fff-03c7-543b-7ca6ce22d556"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 2.38464; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 2.38464; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There are so many amazing ways to let loose in Second Life and each of us have our favorite go-to locations.

Until we met in 2009, his presence intimidated me, but as we collaborated, I got to know him better. In 2011, he was putting together a BOSL fashion show for the real-life brand Shan Beachwear, which Mika Palmyra and I represented in Second Life. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Frolic was never afraid to try new things and did not care what others thought because he was true to himself. So, for BOSL Fashion Week, he thought it would be cool to have the models walk the runway wearing Shan Beachwear in the actual ocean! I had not realized it until he told the story at the 2019 LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR judge's brunch. I remembered something like a wave or water effect passing through the fashion show and... crashing my PC! When I logged back in, everything was fine, so I attributed the problem to my (old) computer and continued watching the show. I had never given it much thought until he told the story 10 years later. He tried the wave effect and it did not work. It was then that I came to realize what an innovator he was! </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">He is a true pioneer who always pushed the envelope and pursues his vision. This world would be stagnant and boring if you did not try new things for fear of what others might say or think. Nobody in this world knows everything or is perfect, and those successes and failures are exactly what propel the world forward.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Frolic Mills was always very kind to Mika, Avalon, and myself. He was a team player and had a wonderful sense of humor. We are heartbroken that he is no longer with us, but he will always be in our thoughts. </span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNuxNk2p-FMh-cWttcJku0GZf2t2g08Fdu2dTIW3Mj-NH6bwA_4onmotE4uRbEQXUwL9igs5L9zX3lCJK2blvNuv6qNwrtCU6UdKo3ZiSSpdCN6dfDmUl-s9nVbGxpfY3ZrsVsyqAYAtEZscgTZrmE-6WfzIJZEHCPo7SlICS0XLsRvCooQacBzxljMo/s1024/Photo%202%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNuxNk2p-FMh-cWttcJku0GZf2t2g08Fdu2dTIW3Mj-NH6bwA_4onmotE4uRbEQXUwL9igs5L9zX3lCJK2blvNuv6qNwrtCU6UdKo3ZiSSpdCN6dfDmUl-s9nVbGxpfY3ZrsVsyqAYAtEZscgTZrmE-6WfzIJZEHCPo7SlICS0XLsRvCooQacBzxljMo/s320/Photo%202%20(1).png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">We will never forget you, FRO! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Remember your DVC code because it will be difficult to hear your cues from up there.

That's usually how you get into someone's contacts to begin with. But you cannot sustain a relationship on humor alone. Being privileged to anyone's humor requires respect, patience, and honesty. Respect their time, their privacy (especially in a space like SL), and their boundaries. The patience to listen and being honest in what you share. You don't have to share everything (we don't all have time for that), but for the things you do share... be honest.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Once you get past that stage of learning someone, you can finally begin to appreciate their true beauty... their passions.

Only then will I truly consider them a friend.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I feel Angelixa has a good take on how to start and maintain a new friendship and has dispensed some sage advice. (Yes, she’s always like this, very wise and sage for her age.)</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There are so many different qualities that people look for and this poll showed me that we all are so unique and look for different things in others. It was interesting to see which ones seemed to be most important (by being repeated by different people) and what some would include in their top 5 qualities that they look for in a friend.</span></p><br /><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">For me personally, Honesty, Reliability, Sense of Humor, Intelligence, and Loyalty would probably be my top five qualities I look for in my own search for friends. I will admit, I have many more qualities I look for in new friends and it was very hard to reduce it to a top five list. I am taking applications for new friends currently, so hit me up if this sounds like you. </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">*winks*</span></span></span>The SL Enquirerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05759069845009937615noreply@blogger.com0
