Piceggs! Watch it Grow! Stage 4 !

1/30/2017

Only 2 more stages to complete! Please comment below. =)

OK, I know this will be new to a lot of people who come here, but I used to make PicEggs on a forum and "sold" them and their different stages to others on the forum. It provided a creative outlet for me, and some game currency to use to buy things for my avatar. (OK, don't laugh! It was fun!)

So, basically, you would get an egg from me, then when people wanted it to "grow", I would change it out for them to the next stage. Well, that forum is now gone, but I got to thinking...I do have this site, so I thought I would make a go at trying to see if we could get
a PicEgg to grow as a group. Everyone will have to pitch in!

This is the way it'll work:

The PicEgg will grow after 10 comments.
You can make as many comments as you like, but only one per day will be counted towards the 10 needed to make the PicEgg grow.
Come back another day and post another comment and that will be counted until we get 10, at which time, the PicEgg will magically transform into the next stage.
My comments do not count towards the total needed to make it evolve.

There are approximately 6 stages, so come back to see them all! Each stage takes 10 posts in order to go onto the next stage. At the end, I will show all the stages including the final one. Hope everyone enjoys seeing the different stages!

Any questions? Ask in a comment and I'll get back to you asap! =)

Mondo Zoo

2/23/2016

0 Comments

Of all the games I've played on the Internet, the only two that I have stuck with (or perhaps they have stuck with me?) are 1) Mondo Zoo and 2) Flowergame.

I will on occasion visit My MiniCity and Creature Breeder, but I play Mondo Zoo every day and Flowergame just about as much.

Fish Live was very entertaining for a while, but if a game takes up too much of my time, I just have to give it up. And Fish Live was doing that. Too much clicking. I can't take that.

But with the two games I've stuck with, neither takes a lot of time - just 10 minutes a day, if you want. Or, you could take more time with them - and that's the beauty of it! You can have a decent Zoo or Garden with just 10 minutes a day (each) or you can get really involved and take up a lot more time, it's up to you.

On Trying to Obtain a Visa...

2/9/2016

Well, you would not believe the day I've had!

My sister said she would go to Washington, DC, with me (I didn't want to walk around DC by myself - plus I also didn't want to drive to the Metro.) So, when she got here, we stopped by the bank to get the money to buy the Money Order from the United States Post Office (USPO). That is what the Brazilian Consulate required.

While at the PO I also got a big over-night envelope and a form to go with it. I left before filling out the form - forgot about it, I was in a rush (bad!!!) When I got to the car (my sister was driving), I filled out the Money Order and then got out the form to fill it out when I realized that the PO personal had to fill out part of it, so I had left without giving it to them! =(

We then found a PO near the Metro, but the line was so long I didn't think we would be able to make it down to the Brazilian Consulate in time, so we stopped by Krispy Kreme Doughnut Shoppe and sat down and ate a doughnut! =D And then drove back home, where I went back to the same PO, where they then told me the sending PO would be the ones to fill out the form, so I could have gone on down to the Consulate anyway! =S I just wished she had made that clear to me in the beginning!

Oh well, we are planning on going back on Wednesday, provided the roads are alright (It's supposed to snow tonight and pretty much all day tomorrow! Eek!)

So, after we got back and my sister headed home, I decided I needed to accomplish something that day, so I got my hair cut. It turned out to be one of the absolutely best hair cuts I've ever gotten! =D

How was everyone else's day? =D

TV Shows I Watch

1/21/2016

I actually watch a LOT of TV. I went for years without watching one single show and then I got Netflix and BOOM! It's been TV galore since then! Wow, has it ever! Some of my favorites TV shows are:

The Walking Dead
Criminal Minds
The Following
Lost
Continuum
The 100
4400
Psych
White Collar
Lie to Me
Sherlock
Burn Notice
Breakout Kings
Heroes
Terra Nova
Pretty Little Liars
Once Upon a Time
Ascension
Dexter
Revenge
24
Touch
Prison Break
Friday Night Lights
Army Wives
One Tree Hill
Survivors
Switched at Birth
Dollhouse
Person of Interest
Desperate Housewives

(These are not in any order.)

And, just today I started watching Zoo, which I have to say, looks to be very good!

What I also find interesting is seeing an actor from one TV show having a part on another. I just love that! One of the first shows I watched was Lost because so many people were talking about it. I absolutely hated Ben on the show. Years later I started watching Person of Interest and I didn't even realize the same actor who was playing Finch had played Ben - and I absolutely LOVED Finch! So, I guess I'm saying Michael Emerson is a really good actor!

Something else I've noticed - practically every time an actor from one show is on another they are a different character. But I then saw Robert Knepper who played T-bag in Prison Break, also appeared in Breakout Kings as the same character! I don't think I've ever seen that done before! If you have, please tell me about it and which shows they were on and the character, OK?

So, if you have a show you think I might enjoy, please post it below - thanks!

My newest game is Fish Live! It is so calming, watching the fish and you never have to get your hands wet, let alone dirty! cleaning the fish tank! Take a look at some of the images I took of it off my tablet at my Fish Live Gallery.

I just went there to post something to a couple of friends and there is no way to post! Is it just me, or is it that way for everyone? I'm really hoping someone from there will see this!

As you can see, the place we used to post is gone. Please tell me there is something I can do to fix this!

The Changing Web

4/24/2015

Just lately, I have run into several sites that have either changed almost beyond recognition, or have ceased to exist completely. I don't know about you, but I do not like change. Well, I don't mind changing a design of a website for the better, but when it changes for the worst, like the one I'm thinking of, well, that's just not something I want to deal with.

And then there's the wowmeter - the one I posted about before this post. It's just plain gone. No explanation, just a notice about closing on April 9th (I believe it was April 9th.) It was a simple site and I liked it.

I think I'll go watch a movie.

The WOW Factor!

I just found a site called WOWMeter.com. I thought it sounded a little funny and it's one of those little sites where you can get a banner for people to click on and it just counts your clicks. Sounds simplistic, right? Well, it is. I'm putting my link here on my blog in hopes that you might click it and give me one more "Wow". (which I think sounds really funny!)

Oh, and here's my banner, in case you'd rather click it:

*** Well, I used to have my banner here. The whole site (wowmeter.com) has gone down. *sob* ***

Childhood Memories

8/3/2014

I grew up in a very small town that did not have any restaurants. We did, however, have a general store. My mother used to send my sisters and I up to the store to buy a loaf of bread or carton of milk. My father used to work at the gas station which was just a stone's throw away. My uncle owned the farm behind our house and was a dairy farmer. I remember many days sitting in the backyard watching the cows graze out in the field behind out house. They would munch their way from the barnyard all the way up to the fence bordering our backyard and then slowly turn around and make their way back. Yep, that was usually the highlight of every summer's evening. Of course, we also caught lightening bugs and put them in quart jars. Now, that was fun!

Of course, there were also attractions in the front yard as well. The porch, for example, was the hotspot for many car counting escapades. I had three sisters and we would all sit on the porch, pick a color that would be "ours", and wait for cars to drive by. If the car was "our" color, we'd chalk up one point. You can see how exciting this activity could be in a small town with hardly any traffic, I'm sure.

As I said, there were no restaurants, but that didn't mean we didn't eat well! Oh, no! On the contrary, we ate very well. Watermelon and corn on the cob were my two favorite summertime foods. My father eventually build a nice grill - made it out of brick so it would last! Then we would have family cook-outs - they were the best! My mom could bake a pie like no other. And did I mention she was the best cook around? Well, she was. Yummy foods were always being baked, cooked, canned, or frozen.

Childhood memories are a thing to cherish. Everybody should be so lucky as I to have such a blissful childhood, one free of the worries and cares of the world we live in today. Free also of stress and heartache in the home. I thank God for my childhood days.

Just a person interested in playing games. Usually slower type, non-violent games. I like collectable games. Even thought of making a game myself, but I wouldn't know how to code it. So, I play other people's games and enjoy them. This site shows you most of the games I play - there have been a lot more in the past, but these are the ones I am still playing, with the exception of Creature Breeder, which I visit once in a blue moon, and UniCreatures, which has changed so very much. I'm not sure I want to start it all over again. And then there's My Mini City. I miss it very much, and visit once in a while, but time - time is always a factor. It's always against me.
