    Avakin Graphics

    By Andrea Menzies

    I may start using Avakin or Highrise graphics for my profile picture. No Photoshop is needed there. The second you are over age 16 on the Internet people start saying your photos are aren’t updated, and so an ageless cartoon keeps your ID never needing weekly updates. My review of Avakin Life is that it is a fun cross platform summer game, and is now available free on Steam games. #Avakinlife friend code KCL-WPT Also my second review is Highrise is another great way to chat for free in games on Steam. Add me at @Poedaughterz for more friends in that game. Fun for kids and grown-ups of all ages.

  • Happy Midsummer Eve

    It is the summer solstice weekend this week. In addition to the June 19th celebration it is the summer solstice marking the middle of the light half of the year. Shakespeare’s famous play about the night helps to keep the holiday popular in modern life. Farming culture in the olden days took the changing of seasons seriously as bad luck could leave you starved.

    Yes I have voted. I got nine letters of spam mail a day for weeks. I get it, they are reminding me the Virginia election is important today.

  • Easter Bonfire

    Easter Bonfire

    By Andrea M

    Alexandria Menzies, and Anne Brockett, and I went to the Easter Mass at Saint Augustine Church. They had a bonfire, candles, and holiday music for the event. Then we ate Chinese food. I was having a bad spring break holiday due to pneumonia and needing to go to the hospital. I could not travel or see music with that going on. At least I was able to go to family dinner by the end of the break.

    I have been there more often than 6 times but don’t always have photos.
    The bonfire lit candles and people walked to seats at mass.

    Arm Price

    By Andrea Menzies

    Part of why I am not going to Saint Patrick’s Day events this weekend is the high gas prices. Here are some funny jokes I saw about it online. It is strangely comforting to know I am not the only person cancelling plans due to high gas prices.

  • Car Broken

    Car Broken

    By Andrea Menzies

    I cannot make it to see video-game, University student, and concert friends this weekend. Just as my life was taking a better turn with friends my car broke down. I live in an area with NO bus service for many miles, so I am unable to get to work as a teacher as well as weekend friend meet-up groups. I am looking at Google maps to find bike routes to nearby stores. It is a really good thing I have taken up bike riding as a hobby at this point as it is emergency back up transportation as well as a fitness gimmick.

  • Travel Thanks

    Travel Thanks

    By Andrea Menzies

    Many thanks to my video game meet up group, student groups, and music friends I met for travel in Maryland this month. I play many MMO games with online chat including World of Warcraft, Adventure Quest, and Guild Wars. I am attending night school, and need extra homework books. In addition I go to concerts with online travel groups. I did each in Maryland, and used my many camping tents, lights, and batteries to save cash on hotels. The weather was too bad for travel for a while, but the ice melted a bit so I was still able to go at the end of the month. After every place in Virginia was horrifying and abusive to me I was very glad to find some better places to socialize with on weekends. In addition I have been going to many online night school classes, and the University campus libraries are far superior in Maryland which is how I made all A grades at Universities in 2025.

    I am glad I didn’t go camping this weekend after all. For two seconds it was warm, and I wanted to travel. Yet the ice came back in a big way. Even with a huge jacket on I was cold. Here are some pictures of the car hood deep ice.

    When Valentine’s Day is a bummer you must post jokes. Yes I am single with no relationship at all for Valentine’s Day.

  • Wild Stories

    By Andrea Menzies

    The Internet was telling wild stories about the halftime show on the 2026 Super Bowl. I have had some ex-boyfriends make up wild lies about me in the past, and was unpleasantly surprised by how people quickly believed wild stories from the Internet. Just because several people on the Internet tell a story does not make it true. The Bad Bunny halftime music quickly became a magnet for the same type of lies. It was fully surreal how weird stories were flying into being after a bit of costumes and dancing. It just shows people should not blindly believe Internet gossip and wild stories.
