DNCY SKIN

Since photobucket isnt letting me use the quick button to post and image youll have to work for it and click the link. I didnt use the prim eyelashes it came with. the lashes have little hearts on them. Cause of my horns. And limted attachment points. 

There is 3 other versions of the skin that have eyeliner decorations but they dont have the same awesome eyeshadows. Seems like the creator makes them one or the other but not both. Such a shame. lipsticks on those are to muted also same with all their other skins, If you pick the one with the extra eye details the eyeshadow and lipstick are dull looking. Ahh joy ei ither its SL itself or just the SIM I am in Its slowly crashing. ugh. Annoying. 

Anyhow I am either gonna look for more work in SL or start DJing. DJ is what I wanna do honestly but I dunno yet about paying for a stream. Hosting being a newbie host is fun and all but the pay sucks lol. The shift I work, the tips are poor so far. 

Things have quieted down a bit at home. After D got sick, J got sick then M so things got a bit crazy around here. The 2 kids had vomiting etc. D's lasted 4-5 days and really hit her hard or she was milking it. Not sure which lol. 

Not much else going on really. Playing Second life gaming with M.. Oh I did get a job in Second life at one of the clubs I hang around at sometimes. Satin Dolls. I am now a host there. On friday & Saturday nights from 7-9PM SLtime.  Satin Dolls

My more recent look in SL. Found Better horns spent the money on really Nice skin from LorAla Skin Store

tone 4 makeup 12. I adore it. Its my top favorite skin. The only other one I really use is a valentines gift from Laleh .. ugh trying to get slurls for you but SL is refusing to allow me to teleport anywhere. UGH!!!

Wow that time It crashed even. Anyhow I cant recall where I got the Laleh skin from and a SL Search returns DCNY CLothing co. So Off I go to see!! 

Ahh yes They only offer 4 others besides the valentine freebie. Such a shame. 

page refuses to let me post another pick so 2 entries today then :P

Ahh well sorry I haven't posted in a while. lifes been a bit crazy lately. My sons back in chicago now. And it was a sudden leaving so my dining room is full of his stuff. He couldnt take it all on a train. The family he lives with there just lost the mother after a long struggle with cancer so he went back for that and since the actual burial (sp?) Is taking place out of country the preperations are taking a while. Hes appling for jobs while this is taking place. 

My sister in Law broke her shoulder. Aparently shattered the ball in the joint, and has to wait 3 weeks to get surgery done on it. But it turned out ok and she is now healing. 

My daughters been out of school 3days this week vomiting. Some nasty bug going around has alot of kids out the office says.  nausea, vomiting, dirrahea.

Been looking into the possibility of being a DJ in second life and man it looks like its gonna be costly at first. But from what I can tell average DJ fee is 2000L$ an hour so I'm considering a look for my Avatar, since shellie is a demon already I have used that as a RP reason for her being so whimsical about her looks, lol 

I'm still looking for a skin that fits her better. I have 2-3 really nice ones but there not different enough. Also I'm experimenting with creating piercings, When shes demon her horns only take up one attachment on her head but if shes Neko the ears take 2 and she cant wear earrings, And you cant attach piercins to the eyes. lol well i also have eye attachments that make them glow red too. so piercings are out the question for the most part and Id like her to have a couple facial sets. One being the rough/RP/Demonic set with the spikes in the nose bridge, in the eyebrows, lip rings and a nose stud. I HATE rings in the side of the nose ugly to me! But a gem or stud looks cool. Onlyt ime a ri ng looks good in the nose to me is in the bottom between the 2 nostrils. Septum i think its called? Not sure. 

The other set i want more glame looking with diamond studs over her eyebrows, nose stud, lip rings  catch is making it all one attachement. So far looking around I cant find a set I l ike so I guess Im looking into making one. I have been collecting free textures and have some of my own I should be able to do it.  Its just finding the time. 

For some reason my legs have been giving me fits latey. I have had to start taking my diuretic again due to swelling and going back to keeping them up but its not helping much. 

So far no redness yet, or heat I am trying to avoid getting to that point but 6 hours sleep they didnt fully unswell either so not sure what im gonna do yet. I may have to do a couple days bedrest bleh talk about annoying!! 

life marching on

well not allot going on lately honestly, my SIL broke her shoulder and I am a bit shocked at how long the docs are willing to do nothing till after its beeen 2-3-4 weeks of it healing wrong and her being in pain. its annoying to me that they are making her wait so long. 

At home been painting, almost done, once i am done then we can p ack up all the xmas stuff. we should be getting another couch soon so we will need the room. 

So I decided to try a Male character on second life and so far he has worked out a bit better, seems people are more friendly to  males. And of course I have been taking pics of him.    http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/Shellie-Krys/SL/

I have pretty much worked out how to make tattoos for SL and already got XANS back worked out except the adding of color. Now i just gotta figure out what looks good on his arms. 

Do Have a gripe this week though. we lost 2 pots, yes pots they both developed holes in the bottom, one melted on the burner and took out the l arge burner on the stove. But man the price of cookwear is outrageous!! I got one 21$ so far to replace one of the two. And and idea of what ones i want next. Im just affraid the one i bought is gonna turn out to be a elcheepo but we will have to see. 

Keeping busy

Well Second life is starting to lose its charm a bit. LOL I can browse freebie sims and yardsales all day long and try on new outfits but the sad thing is I cannot see paying a monthly feee and or buying linden dollars for it. Sure dressing up and playing a avatar is amusing but honestly there is a serious content thing going on for me. Not having any interest in finding guys to cybersex with, means theres not alot to do other then wander sims to see what others have built. 

And jobs in game are seriously limited, escorts, strippers, hosts or DJ's is it. And while I don't mind flirting with people I will NOT do escort. Watching the dancers in the club i hang out in that isnt a viable option either as they rarely make much at all. Host is an idea but I am to shy to do DJing lol even though I have enough music. But before I decide to give up second life fully I will check out some more clubs. 

But the clubs has led to me obtaining more music lately. I really like a few of Ozzy Ozbournes newer songs, Suprising enough. lol Him and frank zappa did a remake of staying alive that is pretty damn good. And his Sympathy for the devil song is awesome. 

I have also gotten hooked on Katy Perry lately. Her song I kissed a girl is just awesome. And I have now heard a couple remixes of it that make it even better!!  (Jason Nevins Rock The Club Mix) is good. So im  ooking into seeing if I wanna get the CD or not. of the original. 

I have also taken back up painting again. I had some Christmas ornaments I bought like 6 years ago. LOL yea I know. And I am finally getting around to painting them. Soon as my son finds his phone charger I will snap some photos to post. They are turning out REALLY well. 

My son says I should sell em on EBAY lol. Yah know if our economy didnt suck so bad right now I just might if I could find a source of unpainted stuff. Wish I could handle going through hobby lobby I bet they have tons. 

Well  the Doc put me on ambien the other day since I have been having troubles sleeping. And a topical antibiotic for my face. Dunno why but this last month + I have been breaking out super bad. And not normal pimple either these are the deep huge ones that hurt really bad and never truely come to a head/center. And take forever to go away. Never had this crap as a teen NO I turn 41 and I get acne! WTF?!?! He has ordered a TON of blood work though. He seems to think anemia is why I'm having issues with the cold suddenly. And honestly I wouldnt be suprised they put me on a ton of suppliments after my september episode. I am suposed to be taking a double iron dose each day. But i have droped it to one till I get the blood work results back. 

I am hoping that I wont have to take the potassium anymore at least since taking one whole is impossible and breaking it in half gets caught too and the edges hurt!!

Ah well time for bed. 

lol

todays snipet on the page from randy's this is true cracks me up. In case a different one shows for anyone else here it is.. 

Full Service
A new British mall is building in an innovation to attract women shoppers: a day care center — for their husbands. “Some grown-up men are very similar to small children, and most couples have anecdotes of their own to prove it,” said a spokesman for the Bluewater Retail Centre, being constructed in Kent. He added that the idea for the big-baby-sitting area came from “extensive research showing that 50 percent of couples’ shopping trips end in argument.” The creche features video games, televisions showing sports ...and beer. (Reuters) ...And, we hope, a changing area.

Now why cant US markets do this. LOL Man I got so frustrated christmas shopping this year as my dear Significant Other was WORSE then kids, every 10 feet he was stopping to examine something, pausing to watch tv's, game systems, browse something! We had already waited till like 2-3 am to go shopping to avoid the crowds anyhow.  And I ended up calling home to ask a couple of the kids questions on sizes for things and of course he had the cell. Once I had to travel the entire length of the store  to call my daughter about lipring sizes cause he wanted to watch kungfoo panda in the electronics aisle!!! 

He has to stop in the toys aisle, magazines, greeting cards, electronics, ALL DVD racks, and whatever else catches his eye. Me I don't mind browsing a little bit but I would much rather get what I need and get out. That comes from years of never having money for extras. 

survived another christmas!

Well another christmas gone now. And as always I ended up sick.. *sighs* Some kind of intestinal bug. I drank 3/4 of a bottle of pepto just trying to keep from the mad dashes to the toliet.  In between I stayed busy a Photo shoot of my avatar in second life.  If your interested : http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/Shellie-Krys/SL/    Been having a bit of fun online at a nightclub while still adult. They don's allow out and out xrated stuff in the main club area. They have private rooms for it.  I have managed to make her look pretty, even though she doesnt look much like what the original shellie would. She is cute. 

There is a graphic glitch with nvidea video cards that is MAJORLY annoying. Putting on boots or gloves often covers the entire limb which can totally ruin outfits. NONE of the workarounds work for me, pisses me off cause rolling back the video driver from 178.x series to the 175.x series can fix it. But everytime I try my computer refuses to boot into windows. And I end up having to restore the damn thing. 

As I wander around I will need to save landmarks for places good for photos cause the couple of posing studios I have found so far lack in backgrounds and lighting. Lighting is the hardest part. 

All the colored backgrounds are from posing booths. I dislike the solid color backgrounds as they are bland. But for free I guess I cant bitch to much. I cant really go through the miriad of clothing cause with this glitch I might be throwing away awesome free outfits. Forums say the glitch got fixed in oct. but they havent released that client yet. And no word on when that will be. 

Ahh well. Having another bout of insomnia marv went to sleep a couple hours ago and here I am awake still. This is getting old. Will ask the doc about it on the 2nd when i go to see him. 

The Monster moved in!!!

This is what we spent the day doing. Moving this monster thing in. My sons tv. mine is the little one on top.. LOL

Click on the picture to see the full thing. Blogger cut 1/3 of it off. lol 

Ok if you click on the photo of Dee below it SHOULD take you to my goggle photo album. If it don't let me know. 

Things here have been a bit busy, Mike had to move home so things have gotten a bit cramped and I really NEED another bed. With him on the couch it cuts into my computer time!! 

added a couple of gadgets to the page too. 

Family Photos

note to my brother. I will take a roll of photos at thanksgiving I promise!! And see about uploading more photos online someplace! God knows I have tons of pics of DEE LOL!! 

Boredom strikes

Bah not much going on right now really. My youngest is back on what they call homebound school. Its a couple hours twice a week cause he keeps having agression problems at school. We are looking into a full time DAY school at the mental health center his counciller is in . where he will get daily supervision by qualified teacher AND Councellers. They have daily group sesssions to work on behaviors and a max of 5 kids per class. 

Been playing Oblivion lately. Waiting for my oldest to come home for thanksgiving weekend to install another harddrive to my computer so I can install the expansions for oblivion. Windows keeps having ISSUES with how much free space I have. Aparently 15 gig isnt enough for xp to function cause it keeps bitching at me! Then I will reinstall the game and see about getting some of the Mods marv has for it. Cause right now my game is dead. I have hit an game ending bug where the main quest wont advance.. period. frustrating since i have spent over a week getting to that point. 

Cooking up for thursday. Going to SIL's daughters this year. SIL 2 has decided to spend it with her husbands family and refused to come to ours so SIL1's daughter is hosting. I gotta make deviled eggs, green bean caserole, augrauten potatoes and dee is making pumpkin bread. If SIL1 brings me the bread pans. 

its offical

Oh yea I am offically not under the vascular surgons care anymore!! My wound is to the point it no longer needs a doctors supervision. The visiting nurse will visit once more next week and that will be done also!! :) I am happy about this. 

Surgeon said he has a lady who had almost the exact same thing happen to her a few days after me and she isnt doing well at all. Hes had to operate on her 2 more times fixing abcesses and such. so I am tickled mine healed so well so fast!   

boos and screams

Its amazing how much some things have changed over the years, I can remember as a kid on halloween, kids were everywhere trick or treating, and people with portch lights off were rare. Now its the exact oposite. I think we saw 20 kids totall. Most had haphazard makeup over everyday clothes. My daughter stayed home!! Shes 16 and didn't even go trick or treating with us. I wasted like 20$ on makeup for her to zombfie herself and she stayed home!!

Its bad enough they started trick or treat at 5 pm and that 98% Of the buisnesses churches etc had their stuff earlier in the week despite the fact halloween was on a friday night. And trick or treat was over at 8pm. =/ we have gotten so paranoid with our kids halloween is becoming dull and boring. Unless you can afford to haunted house hop the week before hand. BUt only getting 1 day off work a week that isnt possible. Nor can many people afford it right now.

Good thing is gas was 2.15 a gallon today.

Has anyone noticed the disturbing trend of so called ghost shows on tv anymore?? I am watching the travel channel and sci fi and the ghost hunting shows have gotten so pathetic. The cameras are always on the so called "ghost hunters" Not on the surrounding areas. And everytime they hear a noise, bang etc they jump and scream and run like sissys. Which i think is why people watch the show anyhow. Not to see if they really do catch anything. I had a ghost push a piano into me years ago trying to pin me to the wall I would love to see a so called *ghost hunter* get that!! That would actually be a worthwhile scream and wet your pants moment!! Ghost hunters seems to be the only one who has even tried to retain a credible shred of actual seeking of the truth. At least.

I also want to apoligize to those who do read this. I know I havent posted alot recently. The whole upcomming election really hasd me in a snit. I HATE POLITICS, And having them shoved in my face now 75% of the day has put me into conversation shutdown. Each night asw we get into bed marv hitting me with the latest bullshit in politics of the day and I honestly could care less. I mean yea I would love to do whats best for my country but I am a firm believer of NOONE RUNNING is a good choice. I haven't seen anything yet to convince me either party can do a good job and I really hate to "Vote for who does the least ammount of damage" Thats bullshit. We the people of the united states of america need to do something to majorly restructure our political system. But the bitter pill to swallow is it isnt likely to happen, at least not in my lifetime I doubt.
Because I can't see major change happening without another civil war.

I never professed to know squat about politics. And I will be glad when its over. And 3 years from now everyone will be bitching about how Fucked up and shouldn't have been elected yadayada yada.

I also havent been hanging around LBT much either. Sorry to everyon there. I Just have no reason to be there. I havent gotten a band. At this point I doubt I am going to get lucky enough to get it. Besides I am considering the sleeve moreso anyhow now. But its still gonna depend on my doctors. MY cardi should pass me now for it. I gotta make an appointment with my PCP for many reasons, my insurance has refused to refill my strips for my blood monitor and refused my insulin!!!
I am off 5 blood pressure meds and now only on the 2 types of insulin and NOW they decide to give me fits about the cost of my meds. When they have gone down like 1000$ per month! I don't quite understand it.
Guess we will have to see what happens.

Been playing fallout 3. Wish my computer would stop crashing. Getting annoying.
Well my feet hurt my back hurts and I think its time for bed.

Joy! I'm healing

Yea the nurse packed up the infernal wound vac today!! Its going back to the company. 
My wound has gone in 1 months time from 10 centimeters long and 2 inches deep to 6 centimeters long and not even deep enough to put a q-tip in.

So now just daily bandage changes is all I need. A wet to dry is what they call it. 
And now instead of comming out every day the nurse will check on me again thursday and 1-2 times a week till the doctor signs off on me. which should be on the 28th. I had to change my appointment from the 21st to the 28th due to gas $$. Friday is payday so. 

I don't go back to my cardio till Nov 17th, So I need to get into my family doc before that and see if he will consider surgery for me to lose weight or if I will have to bypass him. I hope I don't have to. But will if needed. I am disturbed that my insurance has refused to pay for alot of recent happenings, like the would vac they said try conventional wound treatments first. If they woulda done that I would still have a gaping wound on my side. So I am glad they didn't.
But I feel for the VAC company who probably isn't gonna be payed. And people wonder why its getting harder and harder to find docs who take medicare/medicaid..

Things have been pretty quiet other then my healing. Boring honestly. But boring is good. Well I take that back last week Jay got in trouble in school again. He slamed a book into another kids face. I really don't know how much longer this can go on before they take him and put him somplace for violent kids. I don't think he realizes how serious this is. Cause he seems to be going off on other kids for NO reasons!! I fully expect to hear from the juvinal(sp?) probation department again soon if he can't stop this. Guess we will have to wait and see. 

I'm feeling good enough about the wound thing that I think I'm gonna test the *As tollerated* Physical activity thing tonight which should ease dear Marv a bit. Poor guy has been so patient with me. *Wink* Have to see how that goes. lol 

It continues

So last week, monday evening to be exact. I start having chest pains. First time since the heart cath too. I take a nitro like I was told to. When I nneeded to take the third I am supposed to call 911, so I called Marv to take me to the ER.. Ugh! After 3 hours of them feeding me blood thinners and nitro through 2 IV"s. one in each arm they ship me off to the heart institute in Indy. OMG Talk about the worst hospital stay EVER!!! 
They might get good reviews for being the best as handling heart problems. But they sure sucked on daily treatment of patients. 

First the guy who accepted me on the floor when I arrived and entered me into the computer messed up my diabetes meds, totally skipping my fast acting insulin and entering in my long term insulin in at 20 instead of 80. They set me up in bed and then left the room. Much to my dismay I was hooked to a ton of monitors, blood pressure cuff left on and set for every 15 min, 2 IV's and they didn't even make sure the call button was in reach. And they closed my door totally. 
So I waited for a hour + at like 1 hour 20 min I carefully got up to get the call button. And the same male nurse came in and yelled at me, for about 15 minutes he keept going on and on. I told him NOONE left me the button, he said then you should yelled. Fat lotta good that would do with the door closed!! He had me in tears. 

I was there for 2 days, enzymes came back normal so it wasn't my heart. They did ultrasounds and CT Scan looking for blood clots and found no reason for the chest pain, so they sent me home. But man. I was admitted at 12 midnight, so I ended up 22 hours wi thout food cause kitchen closes at midnight and the nurses have NO Access to anykind of snacks etc. Then I think out of the 5 meals I did get only 1 was correct. all the rest were missing things I had ordered. 
It took 6-8 hours for them to do up my discharge papers once the doc ordered it.  
I went 5 hours the day I went home, thirsty, repeadedly asking nurses to bring me more ice water, none ever did. 

Well enough of ranting about the hospital. Yesterday the nurse put back on the wound vac. After a week of wet to dry bandages I think its trying to get infected. Was starting to have greenish dischage on the bandages when changing them. But nurse said not to worry there was no odor and no fever so put the wound vac on and hopefully friday it can come off for good. Have to see. There is NO dischage at all in the canister.

Ugh Got up yesterday to a wet hallway in front of the kitchen which is right where the furnace/hot water heater is in the hallway. Maintence showed up but weren't able to fix it. So there suposed to come back this morning. 
And our lovely apartment manager has decided that we have to pay for the cleaning up of the flooding of the apartment last month. Because suposedly we turned off the fans before the carpet was dry. So the Carpet cleaning guy says. I know hes full of shit cause the carpets dryed out spectaculary well and didn't even have any discoloration at all from being wet in the first place and this was without shampooing them at all. I walk around in socks ALL the time so I know when the floor is wet and when its not. But we are being stuck with a 900$ Bill for this.. Talk about bullshit. 

Time to get on the move and get the HUD paperwork turned in. Maybe if we are lucky we can have a house by xmas. That would be nice.


Well its 15 after 8 and maintence isnt here yet so time to call them. 

Exasperation

OK I dunno if I can make it till monday. It was the nurse on friday that just don't seem to do up my wound well. And I hurt. Even taking 2 pain pills at a time it hurts. Took a full shower today instead of the daily sink bath. Which made me feel better to a point. But does nothing for the pain. 

Woke up this morning in pain cause the pills are only good for 6 hours and I had slept almost 12. Well was more to that. that just happend to wake me. One of my daughters friends was over and she doesn't seem to have the concept of keeping the noise down. I like her and all she seems to be the most responsible and level headed of my daughters friends. But shes loud. 

I grouched at her a bit for it but I was honestly suprised I slept that much to start. But when you doing 3-4 hour snatches of sleep durring the week. The body catches up when it can. But I dont know if I will be able to sleep tonight. And heaven knows if I can manage the pain till mondays dressing change. I am so tempted to pull the whole mess off and do a dry dressing to give my skin a break. 

Marv and the nurses say the wound itself is closing already and looks good. But the skin around it  looks like hell. They are using skin prep on the skin which is suposed to be putting a layer between me and the adhesive but I'm tempted to test the skin prep someplace else and see if it might be making it worse or not. I think I will do that before bed. Try some on my inner arm or something and see if it breaks out overnight. 

Well our recent addiction is Spore. It's an ok game. Marv and my son seem to really like it a bit more then me. I tend to get bored with it as soon as my races hit space which is when the game gets WAY more complex. 

Heres my latest Critter. It's an omnivore and is in creature stage. So it will evolve allot more by the time the race hits space. 

But the guys like playing it. I need to seriously find me something besides the Sims2 to play anymore. The message boards I frequent don't eat up enough of my day anymore. They all seem to have gotten majorly slow. Or at least I am getting bored with the topics. lol 

Just a day

Well being home is I guess better then remaining in the hospital. Dealing with this wound vac can be a headache though. Today it hurts!! I am having to take 2 painpills at a time because it hurts more then normal. But since My main nurse Dee has been doing the changing it stays sealed at least. And she says she can already see visable closure on the wound. I think most of the pain is cause of my skin reacting to the film. After all my skin HATES Adhesives. Its all broke out and red. 

Bought myself a new purse tonight. Not happy about that because I had to buy a HUGE one. Always hated huge  purses but since I need to carry my spare blood meter and now my new novalog insulin anytime I am out I needed the space. At least this one is canvas and can be tossed in the washer. Also has a nice long strap for going over the shoulder.

I don't like the lows that the new insulin gives me at times but at least my sugar #'s are more in range now.

Have a podiatrist appointment in the morning so I'll see about ordering new shoes too need something to wear now that the weathers gonna get colder.  

The whole nurse comming in every other day is proving to be majorly annoying. Since she never comes or even calls at the same time. So I end up fighting to stay awake from 7 am on till whenever just waiting for the call that says "I might be there at x time".  So I think Im just gonna start going back to bed and turning the phone ringer on so I can at least get more then 4 hours sleep.  I notice that I am unusually cold or at least sensitive to the cold and needing to cover up more now that I am home. I suspect this winter is gonna be really rough on me. 

You know thank heavens for walgreens always seeming to have one brand or another of suppliments on buy 1 get one free sales. Since i needed to get more daily multivitamins and they have me on extra calcuim, iron and potassium right now after the blood they had to give me. 

Potassium is the only thing of the bunch that is perscription covered so thank god for sales. lol

And now to go put away laundry. Had to buy some more washclothes since I had to throw out a bunch for getting raggedy.
