How has having a website and being involved in online communities and forums changed your life? What do you think you'd be doing online if you never got into making websites or online communities? I can't imagine having an online life without having a site and interacting with people on an online community!!!! I have almost always had a site...even since the begining. I can remember how awesome that I thought that it was that you could have your own site...and ever since then I have had to have one of my own, no matter what it was about! (well except the whole Mark found my site thing, but i still blogged basically!) Message boards=an online communty go back a ways as well. I was on Kissable MB and Sparkley MB for EVER ..and then I joined up with V when it was Ecstasy/Floursih! I have been on a lot of other boards, but... those are my main ones that I have actually hung around on..except of Exquisite which was Nicole & My Board! So in short without boards and site I don't … [Read more...]
Veracity Blogathon Day 12-Must Haves
What are some of your must have programs on your computer? For those with smart phones or tablets, what are some must have applications on your devices? List no more than 5 for each. Funny question, to ask me this, because i am seriously so simple when it comes to what I NEED on my computer. In all honesty, as long as there is an internet browser(with a connection), and some sort of notepad, i'm a happy gal! To go ahead and name 3 more just because I have the chance i'd say Skype so I can talk to the V gals, and keeshia! Adobe, since alot of stuff opens in that, and Calibre to convert books into my kindle formats. As far as my smart phone, it's a virgin mobile pay as you go intercept that works on the crappy sprint network and about half of the time I don't pick up a decent enough connection to use it. Some of my favorite apps for it are Gmail, and Twicca so that I can get my email and my tweets on the fly.I also like the Paypal app when it decides to work! I also like 4square … [Read more...]
Veracity Blogathon Day #11 Inspired Blog
What inspired you to create your personal blog? What continues to inspire you? I wanted some where to write that I could let everyone see it, basically. I had a site before and had to take it down and I started using myspace, which mine was private...so only a few people could see it and noone really ever commented..EVER... Around the time I gave up that site I quit doing Aim, Message boards, everything.. I just kinda quit doing the whole online thing as a whole, other than school, and that kind of thing. After I got married I just decided hey, i miss interacting with people online. I wonder what ever happened to certain people, and yeah I would like to have my site back! So...thats what I did. As far as what continues to inspire me to do this site? I have met alot of nice people, I have put alot of work into trying to keep it updated, and it is a huge archive of ME. I like these things! … [Read more...]
Veracity Blogathon day #10
When you log on the computer what do you normally do? What sites do you visit? I usually get into my email/facebook when i first get on.. depending on what I've already done on my phone. then most days it's off to check the paid blogging sites I do, and get those out of the way first. I also check out the pitch groups i'm on several times a day. Alot of times I get hung up over at veracity and on twitter and keep them loaded up pretty much all day! Some day's i visit a few people that I just seem to visit every day, and sometimes I try to get through my blogroll and that sort of thing. Weekends are usually when I work on my grits-reviews site, and do all that kind of thing. I am seriously too addicted to the internet ! … [Read more...]
Veracity Blogathon Day #9 Admireable
What is a website that you admire? Why do you admire it? Feel free to list 3 websites you admire, but no more. it is a little hard for me to differentiate the blog from the blogger in some situations, because to me a site is an extension of the blogger lol and if your not someone who I put on my list, well I seriously ran out of room because everyone on my blogroll is someone who I really admire/love :) I first and formost adore Jenn's site Jenn.nu! I can't remember exactly when I started reading her site, but I always have liked her writing style, and the fact that she tells it like it is, and isn't afraid to write about any sort of topic!I have to visit her site at least once a day wether or not I comment or not! I like that she shares pics, and intergrates her paid posts and reviews right in along the regular ones! I also have appreciated getting to know her on a personal level and even texting her and talking to her on the phone before! And I won't ever forget her … [Read more...]

What are some gadgets you can not live without? Why? List no more than 5! You would think I would go all high tech on listing my items, but honestly...I have to throw a few basic things in here. 1. Air conditioner..because let me just tell you living in the south without one would NOT be a walk in the park 2.Washing Machine: Because I don't think i'd relish in the thought of having to go to the laundry mat/wash my clothes by hand! 3.Cell Phone of any kind. I don't have a house phone, and it is nice to be able to get ahold of people/them be able to contact you! Never know what kind of emergency you might have and all that good stuff 4.Computer. w/Internet : also a good means of communication, also helps with making money,and meeting other people. and keeping me entertained! 5.Microwave: for all those meals i'm too lazy to cook and all the nom-a-licous snacks that can be made in it :) … [Read more...]
