Tonight was the start of the arctic air mass hitting our area. It was actually supposed to be a lot cooler than it is (32 degrees F.). It should have been in the lower 20's, according to the weatherman. But it's always just a guess. However, the humidity is high and it feels like it's 24 degrees outside according to my Weather Bug.
I just know that I had to crank up my heat and I am using my comforter for warmth while I sleep. I was asleep for several hours but got up to use the bathroom (I just hate being old!) and realized I needed to do my blog. Of course, I had to check into my favorite site and discovered they were giving out 5 gems to watch each video (which only lasts for under three minutes) so I got distracted and watched (sort of) videos for a while. I was down to 11 this morning and closed off the night with 251. I also watched a couple videos that were under a minute that paid 5 gems so it was a nice productive time while I also talked to Bratfink on YIM. She was also *mining gems* as she calls it.. She started off with over 300 gems, however, and went to be with 500+. We use them to go to charm parties and the charms pay out coins (useless of course) when we play slots, bingo or any of the many other games on the site. It's neat because you actually *buy* one charm and get 25 plus whatever other charms people buy to share with the group. You buy one during the party and everyone at the party gets one, too. You can get over 100 charms at a party at times for much less than it would cost you to buy yourself a few.
I like the fact that you can get the gems for free. Many people buy them and I swear, some of them are rich just from the sheer number that they buy and use in the charm parties. It might take you time to get enough gems for the party you want to attend but, hey....it's free!
I hadn't realized that my VIP status was up for renewal this month but my gf Carol paid for mine....again. She wants us both to be VIP's together. I just wish she was feeling better and we connected more these past couple of weeks.
Found out one of our mutual online friends is suffering from heart failure. He had a massive heart attack on Oct. 17th and had to have emergency surgery to put stents into his heart. However, I guess the main ventricle has only 25% working..the rest was killed off in his heart attack. There's not a lot that can be done for that except to do a lot of resting and not much physical activity. He's getting married in January and told me when we talked on the phone that at least he knew he wouldn't die alone. Not that he expects her to die too....lol...he just meant that someone would be there with him when he passes. I told him not to be in a rush because the world will be much less interesting without him around. He hosts the best charm parties on the site primarily because of his personality and his generosity. He has loads of people that just love him because he has an engaging personality. I was saddened to hear that not much can be done for him.
Well, I am tired and need to go back to bed. Love you all and I wish you lots of warmth and the love of friends and family. ***Hugs***
