Thoughts One of the things I dislike about being positive, is that people will sometimes prey on it. I do it for family, for friends, for those who need it. I sometimes get told nasty things for it. I just wanna make life good. But life preys on that. Tonight, I am sad. Because of that.

ATT ATT mailed me this. I currently pay 35/m with Tmobile for 200-400mbps internet. ATT's "JOYFUL" deal, is 34/m for 100mbps internet. 100. BUT WAIT, thats "After discounts" WHICH DONT START until AFTER 3 months! Regular price? 55/m! AND, you have to switch your CELL to them too! LMAO xDDD

Scarf For Christmas, My husband Smiley got me a scarf... and I absolutely love scarfs. <3 Its one of my favorite clothing items. Its why every character I've had, has always worn one. But this one, Is, HEATED! It heats up from the power of a USB power bank, inside the scarf! GUYS! TECHNOLOGY! <3

AI Something YouTube has been pushing as of recent, is trying to get me to use AI generated responses to comments. It's learned how I talk to people, and generates responses in MY way of talking. And I REALLY don't like that. Just know if ya get a response from me... It's me. Not a bot.

Xmas Lots of commercials on the radio this year saying things like: "Oh no!!! I haven't bought "so-so" a present this year yet! If I don't, I will be in big trouble!!!" And then they advert you buy a 800+ dollar phone for them. Get the heck outta here with that noise. That's not Xmas...

Shovel Today... I have shoveled 5 Driveways for family and neighbors. I am so happy to help, as I have a body that allows me to help. But the past two days have had so much happen, my brain needs a break, haha. x3 I'm proud of today. I accomplished a lot. Now to rest. x3

PC My 1992 sleeper PC didn't work anymore, because the airflow just didn't cut it with an Nvidia 3080 and a Ryzen 5900xt. I hope I did okay with the cable management. Temps are now MUCH better. I will test streaming on Tuesday. ^^

Coppers Last night I got pulled over by the cops. My tail lights were all not working. I recently replaced my muffler and had to tear apart the whole rear end to get to it. I did something to the tail lights. The cop just wanted to let me know. And let me go on my way. He was super nice. ^^

Got this AMAZING offer from GameStop! Boy I would absolutely love to open a credit line and take a hit on my credit score to have these great features! 36% APR is absolutely laughable. Not to mention they Charge you, for them to send you your bill. Who is this card for???

Collection I don't have a problem. You have a problem!

SmartCar Cheeto The Smart Car, had a failed flex hose, making it sound like a tiny, angry lil race car! Haha! Today I pulled the car apart, and replaced the entire muffler assembly with one that we found on Amazon of all places. Total cost of repair 180$. All done and quiet! Did we do good?

Illegal I shouldn't have the ability to do this... Someone take away my license. (Two USB hubs plugged into eachother)

Safe Space I am trying to open my mind to many new things recently. Some of these things are NSFW. I am trying to understand the things I missed enjoying because I was so against it for so long. But I dislike people bringing NSFW to my SFW space, thinking it's funny. Please don't.

Success >How it feels to optimize your avatar just enough to make it onto all platforms. PC, Android and iOS. I did it... Boy was it hard finding all the things, but I did it. Everyone can see my lil Elevali! ^^

Too big Trying to upload a quest compatible version of my Ele'vali, and I am SO close... x3

Acer Add another headset to the collection! An Acer WMR headset. I decided since there was a driver release that actually makes WMR headsets work again, that I would grab one for 40 bucks on eBay and try it. One 4 hour session and I can say it absolutely works! Defo more blurry than a Q2 though.

I found this deal on Vive Focus controllers, that are "new". I believe these style controllers work with the Vive Focus 3, Vision, and XR Elite. I plan on grabbing one of those headsets at some point for my collection. So now I just need the headset! www.ebay.com/itm/33593647...

Coffee Being a total nerd... I wanted to see if I could make coffee using my lil battery powered Inverter that uses 4 40v 6AH Ryobi batteries. Close to 1kw of batteries. The inverter is a "300w" inverter, but it powered this 380-ish W load for about 5 minutes! Pretty sweet! It's coffee time!

Move At the beginning of this year, I made the decision to stop posting to Twitter at some point this year. I think that time is now. x3 I have most people over here on Bluesky now, and this past 2 weeks, Twitter seems to have stopped showing my posts to people randomly. So I think it's time.

Nice One thing I like to do is let people know that they make a difference. Finding accomplishments they have done, or just listening to them tell me what they've done recently and then telling them the difference they are making by doing what they do.

Flags Asexual... A word I would use to describe me. "NSFW" things used to upset me. I've been working on this. Getting upset over things that first, don't affect me, and second, are legit... people having fun, shouldn't affect me. I am pushing to understand by experimenting. Its working! ^^

Decision I am trying to open my mind to a LOT at the moment. Things that used to upset me, dont anymore. Instead I am curious to maybe learn. I wanna understand these things that used to upset me. I am meeting new people, I am smiling, and I make them smile. I hope this is good.

Trade I just spent yesterday, travelling to and from my house and a local games store. (Not GameStop haha!) And traded in a ton of my old consoles and games. And I have more to go! The plan? Get a PSVR2 for "Free" with all my in store credit! Can I do it??

9/11 As a person who almost could have lost someone to the attack... I am against the jokes for this day, any day. I know the US isn't very liked, at least at the moment. But people died. Loved ones were lost. It was a sad day. Iunno if it's cause I was alive that day, but please be nice today.

Haircut Went in to get my haircut today. (It got heckin' long this time...) The usual radio they have tuned to the classic top 40, is off today, and instead the single person they have on staff chose to play Synthwave on the speakers. I have to wait 30 mins, oh well! I am just jamming atm, haha!

Bzzz Flies are really annoying if they are in your house... But gosh... If they aren't the darned cutest things when they are landed. Just rubbing their tiny head and hands together. "Cleaning" themselves. Their lil mouth thingy coming out and licking stuff. Come on its cute. If only for a moment.

Nice Just because something is someone's job... Doesn't mean you can't make their day a WHOLE lot better by saying thank you. I make it a thing to tell Cashiers at the grocery "Thanks so much! Have a wonderful day!" It's amazing, the smile that just that lil saying puts on their face. Be nice.

Bluesky - X My current plan is to stop posting to Twitter by the end of the year. The problem is so many people still use it exclusively. But I do know a lot of interaction over there is fake now. To make it FEEL active. I just don't want to be on that site anymore haha.

Time Out I overdid it. Tonight I hit a burnout. Real life is super important, and online has become a lil stressful. That's no good. I need a break. Expect less posts. I hope you understand. I'll be back soon!

Feels Every once in a blue moon I will feel down. And... Sometimes, I will make a post or a status mentioning moods are low. "Why do that? Are you just attention seeking?" To be honest, if a friend wants to reach out because of a status, why not? They can choose to talk to you...

Connection Something that came to mind... For me, the reason I am with Smiley, is because of the kinda person he is, not because he's male or female. But because the type of person he is really makes me love him so much. I like to think... everyone has that ability if the terms are just right.

Payments Don't forget by the way, steam has gift cards you can buy to pay for games and things on the steam market. Can't use PayPal at the moment? Just go to GameStop or your local grocery, and they usually have the cards there Pay cash for them. 0 connection to you.

Walk Been doing a lot more walking, hiking, and exercise recently. The goal? Get back under 200 pounds. Around 2 months ago I was at 230 pounds, and now I am about 218. So progress is happening, but I got more to go. The plus... is getting to see places like this on my walks at parks... Neat!

Pro I have been using my Quest 3 to record some quick VR Chat videos to post to the main account. Yesterday, I put on my Quest Pro, and tried to record videos with it in Standalone mode as well. I went to edit them this morning, and they were in 3 FPS. xD It's AMAZING how much faster the Q3 is!

Solar We have decided to upgrade considerably. We will shortly be getting 4 12v 100ah batteries for the solar. The old batteries could run out fridge and lights for about 16-20 hours. These new batteries should be able to do 65+ hours with No charging help. Just usable power! Almost 3 days!

Victrola Enjoying a night with Smiley. Listening to our victrola! What a lovely night. What are you listening to tonight?

Avali Some Avali don't like being called birds. I love being called a bird. But I try my best to keep those in mind who don't. If I slip up, feel free to let me know! But just know, that if I keep you in mind, please keep me in mind too! Calling Avali "birds" makes me happy. I mean no disrespect

Today marks the first day in probably 7 years... That my solar power system had to be taken offline. The batteries are basically shot. They can only sustain about 3 hours at the usual 50 watts of running all the house stuff. We will be purchasing Lithium batts this time. Wish us luck!

TikTok I recently have been trying to stream to Youtube, Twitch and TikTok. Out of the 3, TikTok is the one I have to moderate the most, kicking nasty comments out. Recently I keep getting "Banned" in tiktok for streaming. So I think I'm gunna stop trying there, and focus on the other two.

Monetize Just this morning, Twitch has asked me to and allowed me to enable monetization, without being affiliate or partnered. Just enable it. Which I don't wanna subject people to ads. And I don't want money from streaming. I just wanna have fun... And maybe get cookies too So no thanks Twitch.

Exercise I have been trying to do more workouts to maybe lose a lil weight. And with the help of combining it with streaming on twitch, it's been working out great! ^^ But Smiley and I wanna try and get into hiking now! ^^ So maybe changing things again could be fun! Lets goo! ^^

I have been uploading a lot of my finished videos to my google drive... and now Google photos is showing me the videos as "memories"... Which is always cool to see them pop up again. Hard to believe I've been using the Spiri for a year now.

Stare He saw you. He knows you have a feesh... and you aren't sharing... Now you have to deal with his stare. #Avali #furry

Fridge Due to a bunch of people telling me (and properly educating me) about the garbo efficiency of my Micro peltier fridge, I upgraded to an actual mini fridge for the VR/Stream space. I hope this makes people happy, haha! The K-Cup maker is staying though. x3

Garden A lil update about the tomatoes... OH... You didn't know we were growing grape tomatoes this year? Haha, we are! About 15 plants worth! This is the very first havest, with possibly about 100 more currently on the way, with even more flowers! Lovely to go out and just pluck one and eat it!

Fame Something that friends joke about, but also something that sorta bothers me... Is being called famous or being called a popufur. Something that carries negativity to it to me, cause I was called this back in 2015, and random people would see it, and then hate me for it. I don't want that x3

Friended Yesterday I had a nice convo in VR with someone who has been around my space for about a year, just always being a positive bean. And towards the end of the night they said "Lemme take a shot in the dark" and sent me a friend request. And I accepted. continued...

Talking about NSFW posting... Bluesky is apparently Age Verifying users from the UK to see NSFW marked content. People are not happy about this. Depending on how they go about verifying, it could be an ID or Credit Card or Picture of your face. Giving a site ID stuff always sucks.

Hmm Something that happens sometimes when you are on furry socials... is you get NSFW art on your feed. Sometimes its NSFW of one of my friends. And that used to really throw me for a loop. I'd used to get upset at that. x3 'cause like... they didn't lock the door, and I walked in. x3 Continued...

Twitter I am starting to notice BlueSky is actually being more active than Twitter for "real" interactions. Twitter, I get a lot of "Likes" from random accounts. But on BS I get likes but it's from people I tend to connect with one way or another. And BS has tons more people commenting.
