Bewitched

Where did the term "witch" even come from? In looking at the etymology, or the word's history, there is the Old English "wicce" (sorcerer). Looking beyond that into the Indo European and Germanic origins, there are many theories. There are words such as "weik"(to bend or fold) and "weid"(to see or to know) that have supernatural connotations believed to have been translated into the Old English... and then to the Modern English with the word "witch". What it boils down to is the word itself has been taken from several words and meanings to label those who had abilities that were beyond what was considered the norm.

No need to be afraid, this witch will not cast any spells on you, or will she?
Stop by the Retreat and take some pictures in your scary outfits and then go post them at the Retreat Flickr Group.

Kowloon Walled City

Kowloon encompasses the northern part of Hong Kong, on the mainland across Victoria Harbour. Once a separate city, it was acquired by Britain in 1860 and returned to China with the rest of the colony in 1997. It’s now a shopping, arts and entertainment district. Stores line Nathan Road, while traditional markets offer goods from flowers and goldfish to clothes and jade.

"Bathe in the neon glow of this sim based in Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City, a place with a sordid past and where sunlight rarely reaches the ground below. Shops line the narrow city streets and darkened alleys, while Panda Park offers the lone space to stare up at the stars."

So instead of helping me get out of this, Greg is just watching me. This sim is full of shops and things everywhere. We came here to be part of a video shoot and then explored it. There is plenty to see all over and there are many corners with surprises. It is a fascinating place especially when you think about it that it used to be a real place.

Sitting on the set of the video making...see Greg in the background? He was the bouncer.

Thank you, Brant, for letting us be part of this. It was fun and we loved exploring the sim and learning more about Kowloon.

Wild Thing!!!

 "Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit other qualities connected with the social instincts which in us would be called moral." ― Charles Darwin

Yes, Greg, I found this little crow outside. It must have fallen out of a nest somewhere. Can I keep it?

I know Greg hears this so many times from me when I come home with another creature, but I can't help it. This little thing is sooo cute. I named him Carl.

I know, I know, but still, I cannot help it. these animals are all so cute. I also adopted furries along the way and other fine creatures.

Shhhh, if you are really quiet, I can sneak you in the house and put you in that Alabama room. Shhhh!!!

Animals are like little angels sent to earth to teach us how to love. They don't get angry or play silly games. They are always there for us.

...once upon a time

...the fairytale begins in the world of prims and mesh-fitted hearts.   

Hey, wait a minute, you are not running from this....

Men can be so terrified when you even mention anything about a term that is longer than a football game. My advice is to play it in quarters. One quarter at a time until you have the touchdown.

Greg looks as if his beloved team has lost the game. Smile! It is not that bad baby. You show up, say yes and relax.

Close your eyes and I will make your dreams come true.

Ok, ready? Let us go and do this :)

You are my dream come true, you are my world, you are the joy in my heart, the laughter in my voice, and the smile on my face. We compliment each other so beautifully and together we can face anything, we can be comforted in knowing that we will never have to face it alone.

Not just for this moment, not for an hour, or day, or year - I will always love you.

I promise to hold our love as a love everlasting.

Psalms 1:1-3 

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
