Today I bought a virtual condo using virtual currency that I invented
I also imported a couple of virtual wives from Asia,tried them both out,kept the best and have on sold the other.
She is the perfect wife and after cooking and cleaning for me while I spend all my virtual time on CS she is hard out painting and re decorating the condo inside and out.
I have to log out now as she is virtually finished but has run out of paint so I'm off to the virtual store to buy more.
What colour you ask "envy" green

13 years ago, drummer Mike Portnoy at the top of his career, decided to leave the group Dream Theater. After dozens of exhaustive auditions, the band selected Mike Mangini to replace him who played on an impressive one-third of their studio albums.
A year ago some negotiations took place and Portnoy decided to return to the band he helped form.

That's a bitter shock to Mangini and he took the change diplomatically stating:

“I understand Dream Theater’s decision to get Mike Portnoy back at this time. As was said from day one, my place was not to fill all the roles that Mike held in the band. I was to play the drums in order to help the band carry on," Mangini humbly states, "My main role of keeping our live show working tightly on a nightly basis was an intense and rewarding experience."

Deeply appreciative of his time in the band, he continues, "Thankfully, I got to experience playing music with these iconic musicians, as well as some fun times laced with humor. I also really enjoyed spending lots of time with the crew. And then there’s the Grammy win, which was amazingly satisfying."

Bidding farewell, he concludes, "To the fans: thank you so much for being amazing to me. I cherish the pictures I have of you all losing your minds and having fun. Finally, I really love the band, crew and management and wish them and the entire organization all the best.”

Mike Mangini performed well, going far more than he would have without his 13 years with Dream Theater. His new worth is reported $10 million and that in itself is an amazing accomplishment for a musician.
Having heard and seen videos of both drummers, I have to admit Portnoy has the edge on him for technique and assertive style. I'm sure Mangini will soon continue his musical success with another supergroup. He deserves it.

I blogged about the Canadian band RUSH having lost their drummer to cancer, had no plans to reunite. I thought Portnoy would fit that role, but it's too late. Mangini would be next in line for the gig!

So, fellow singles from around the world, as Cody Rhodes asked in every appearance, what do you want to talk about? And by this, I mean what do you want to discuss in relationships? What topics would attract a person to commit to a relationship, whether mutual or more? What could be said to keep the interest going? Or, if no interest be found, what could be said to appear interesting that maybe, just maybe, a relationship could be formed in the first place?

And no, I am not on drugs when I wrote this. Well, unless you count caffeine...

Goodbye my friend. It's been great. We had some good times together. Those sunsets that seemed to last forever. I'll see you next year on the 10th of March. I wish you could be here all year round... but It's out of my hands. I wait for your return.

For years I've been using an ad blocker while I surf YouTube.
Recently, I've seen a pop-up message stating:

Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube
-It looks like you may be using an ad blocker.
-Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.
-You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription.

For now, I'm clicking the X in the top right, closing the warning/message and watching the video.

I realize supporting ads means money changes hands and ultimately someone benefits.
I suppose there will be a time when YouTube will refuse to play videos without membership... hopefully not anytime soon.

I hate November, well this one this year.
Started off with a massive storm here, 185 kms an hour. Luckily we were warned. So shutters shut and as much battened down as i could. Then the fun started. Laid in bed listening to the top of my chimney banging, yes found that in the garden the next day. Moved downstairs, next to go was the roof off my terrace, still haven't found that. Then the trees started, three down, two with branches hanging off, well i was looking for a place for a wildlife pond, now I have the hole with no digging. Then 9 days without electricity, my trips to the rubbish bins with two dead freezers great. No electric, no, phone, can't recharge my mobile, no WiFi etc, cats moaning because its cold, yes no central heating and wood store under the rootless terrace now wet.finally got electricity the morning I sailed for 10 days in the UK. Let's just say England has changed a journey which normally took two hours was fours hours due to road works and General traffic omg so much traffic.
Finally arrived back in france, sigh of relief. More dam traffic and I'm sitting still in a queue of traffic and bang I'm rear ended so hard I'm pushed into the car in front. So I've now only got one side of my car undamaged. The insurance company loves me this week, house, car insurance claims plus one earlier this year for my new knee plus now a hospital appointment to see if its still in place. Next.

heres a joke to give u a smile [i hope,,lol} for the day...
