I’m slacking with my letters to friends in the States. Please be patient with me. It sounded so very simple when I suggested it at the time but it is time that is my problem. I still think it's a great idea to receive something from a friend in print and this week will see a concerted effort from me.
Acolytes’ rock. A personal thank you to FALSExCURE for helping with a journal issue.
With all the crap the admin undeservedly have had of late we seem to forget the good they all do.
I had a problem with the coven’s main page, to be specific the background picture had gone, same thing happened with my portfolio page, this makes the page totally unreadable and useless if you want to look a little professional when advertising your coven. I know what happened and will now make sure it never happens again. But here’s the thing that was embarrassing, I forgot firstly how to access the coven main page, just forgot and then to code again after so long. Needless to say I nailed it (or rather just took out the old code).
Here’s a lesson for anyone starting a coven or any CM for that, DO NOT rely on other members to back up coding for your pages, hold a copy for yourself because if they ever leave VR or just get traded it’s likely they will eventually remove those background pictures from their photbucket accounts or whatever else they use as storage and you will be where I was.
I ate my first Mississippi mud pie for the first time today and is all I can say is I wasn’t impressed with Mr. Kipling at all. ‘Exceedingly Good’ is the motto, FAIL!! The picture on the box looked so very hopeful…. That’ll teach me to judge a cake by it’s cover!

Not tried it. I will admit to liking the fruit filled pies. But the others I am not so keen on sadly.
You have a good pallet. I didn't enjoy that one neither :)
A Jewish boy playing a pool tournament on a Friday night, my Bubbe would have turned in her grave but given the fact that I won I’d like to think she’d have forgiven me. Anyway, if I don’t blow my own shofar, who will?
The final was with a young gent who couldn’t have been more than 22. You could see on the faces of all the ‘oldens’ they wanted this win as if I was their Knight for the evening. They wanted this win as much as I did. They willed every ball into the pocket. It was as if G-d was teasing me too and making the balls as big as marbles and the pockets like tunnels. Nothing went wrong!
I don’t play competitive pool as much as I use to but I do thoroughly enjoy it.
The score went like this: out of five frames of three sets….. and without dropping a game I won 3-0 in the first and 3-0 in the second with no need to play a third. It was all over within the hour.
In other news...
Lucky me as I will be in Spain for the two weeks of Roshana Hashanah and Yom Kippur (4th Sept - 17th) but among the Spanish Jewry (Sephardi Jews) and that will be interesting for me. It may be a good time to repent this year. Bubbe would like that. It’s also a time to light a yahrzeit candle, a candle we (Jews) light and say a prayer for the dead, specifically a close member of the family, I will take one with me to Spain. I can probably get them there but…!
I’ve repeated this sentiment many times that although I am not religious or orthodox I do have a very strong Jewish identity.
The geek in me....
If you're patient to watch it all it won't disappoint ;-)
If this helps just one parent then it's worth it. I don't know how old or recent for that that this info is but take the time to copy and paste this link.

Let me get this right. You expect praise and a pat on the back for simply doing the right thing. By the same way of thinking do we get to hang you when you do something wrong?
This may only be my opinion but please don’t have children, your norms and values differ form mine greatly.

Get down on your knees and worship me!
There are too many people out there like that.
It’s taken me years to understand this and I’m still learning.
Everyone has done this at some point, it’s when you give yourself three wishes because you blew out your birthday candles or saw a falling star or got the wish bone in a chicken, whatever the reason you now have three wises and as whimsical as they are I have learnt to wish for love in my life, not your usual love that would come with having a partner (although that comes as part of the package) but a love that is all about tolerance and understanding one another.
Why ask for love?
Because you will find that health and wealth follow very close behind.
Now enjoy your other two wishes.
Breathe
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

One of my favorites. And it always seems appropriate in the moment. Now is no exception. :)
Sensational :)
LOVE!!!! that song!
Really! Does anyone know how to fold a fitted sheet? I don’t press my duvet covers or sheets but simply fold them which gets rid of most creases but to fold a fitted sheet has to be among the ‘wonders of the world’. This could be funny if I wasn’t serious.

Yes, there is a technique to folding fitted sheets. If I can figure a way to describe it to you, I will!

This is something my grandmother taught me. There are seams in the middle of the corners. Put one corner inside of the other so the seams line up. Do this to each side, and then fold it length or width wise to your preference, and all four should line up.
Hope this helped!
