  • New TicTok

    I have a new TicTok as my old one got hacked. I managed to get control away from the hackers, but now I must start from scratch. Add me here. In addition my Snapchat sent out hello messages. This was an automated message and NOT me trying to talk to people. Thank you for your support in an age of social media being weird.

  • Yes.Fit Award

    Yes.Fit Award

    By Andrea Menzies

    I just won an award for completing a Yes.Fit challenge! It was Pirate Plunder, and I am sure I will love wearing the Pirate shirt that brags I completed a 26 mile journey online. As a long-term Fitbit user I liked counting steps and bike pedals, but disliked finishing the apps normal games. I am not alone, and many users like adding Yes.Fit and other online races where you are chased by other Fitbit users, pirates, werewolves, and thousands of creatures as you count steps, or move the counter to your foot for bike trips. You can even use Google fit on your phone if you don’t have a step counter.

    If you would like to run against me online I post the challenge codes here to my group team Forever Halloween Club:

  • Pokemon Go Meetup Day April 20

    Pokemon Go Meetup Day April 20

    Pokemon Go Meetup Day April 20

    Wow today’s meetup group I went to had over 80 members for events, raids, and raffles in the park! They even had ice cream vans AND taco tables by the football game. One section I was in is for grownup people, but another section is for Pokemon Go fan kids as well. Downtown Richmond nightlife is filled with crime and violence the last few years, and so I need downtown alternatives. Pokemon Go makes a lot more sense in pretty weather like today. I had a bad cold last week, but was better by the weekend. I lost my gym membership, but with weather like today all you need is tennis shoes to work up a sweat. Lucky me my bike still works great for Spring Events.

  • Showtime Out Of Town

    Showtime Out Of Town

    By Andrea Menzies

    I had a great time seeing music concerts out of town this weekend. It is official music venues outside of Virginia have bounced back better after the pandemic. A guy even bought me free french fries so my weekend went extra well. The last few times I went out locally con-artists tried to rob me constantly so I am a travel fan now.

    By mistake I took a blue photo of myself and it ended up being cute.
    Buildings by the venue.
    Dark and scary show lights.
    Brooklyn Grilled Food nearby.
    Early Joan Jett tribute art.
    Local band stickers all around.
