Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...

TGIF at last
Today is the 6th day of the 28th week, the 15th day of the 7th month, the 197th day of 2016 [with only 162 shopping days until Christmas] and:
- Be a Dork Day ((bonus cred if you can differentiate between a dork, a geek and a nerd))
- Day of Rage
- Gummi Worm Day
- I Love Horses Day ((one of the oldest items on my bucket list is to learn how to ride, and to be able to own a horse))
- National Give Something Away Day ((I hereby bequeath all of my anxiety and angst to the two presumptive presidential candidates))
- National Pet Fire Safety Day
- National Respect Canada Day
- National Tapioca Pudding Day
- Saint Swithin's Day -- tradition says that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days
The waxing gibbous moon is at 81% of full.
In 484 BC the dedication of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in ancient Rome. In 1482 Muhammad XII is crowned the 22nd and last Nasrid king of Granada. In 1741 Aleksei Chirikov sighted land in SE Alaska and sends men ashore in a longboat, making them the first Europeans to visit Alaska. In 1834 the Spanish Inquisition was officially disbanded after nearly 356 years. In 1870 Georgia became the last of the former Confederate states to be readmitted to the Union. Also in 1870 Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory were transferred to Canada from the Hudson's Bay Company, and the province of Manitoba and the Northwest Territories was established. In 1910 Emil Kraepelin, in his book Clinical Psychiatry, named Alzheimer's disease after his colleague Alois Alzheimer. In 1916 Seattle, Washington, William Boeing and George Conrad Westervelt incorporated Pacific Aero Products (later renamed Boeing). In 1979 US President Jimmy Carter gave his so-called malaise speech, where he characterized the greatest threat to the country as "this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation" (note: he never used the word malaise). In 2003 AOL Time Warner disbanded Netscape; the Mozilla Foundation is established on the same day. In 2006 Twitter was launched (the first tweet was by Jack Dorsey).
Day 10 of no PC: Supposedly my CPU is wending its way back to me via FedEx Ground, who is supposed to pick it up today if the creation of a shipping label can be trusted [delivery usually takes 3 – 4 business days so I cannot expect my CPU back until Wednesday] . The motherboard was replaced. The advantage of sending the CPU to the repair facility instead of having a tech come into the apartment for the replacement was that supposedly everything else [the hard drive, the graphics card, the power pac] was checked and tested – I have my doubts that they did anything but make sure the CPU would boot up and maybe reload WIN 10.
I am taking bets on [1] whether it will work with SL and D3, and if it does, [2] how long it will actually work. Any takers?
