, that's what happens when you train them up the way they should go. But you get the bragging rights to say, "that's my girl!" 😄 ❤

Yes, so true ;) I believe these youngsters are getting inspiration from us all though! (((Huggs)))

EDIT: I think we tak inspiration from them as well :)

This grandma is getting inspired by them and all of you because you're all so much younger, brighter and more talented than this old 80 year old. You're keeping me young at heart! 😄

Congratulations on your runway wins

a bit chilly but do-able.

thank you. So far all of you have been very welcome.

it is, sadly the whole week will be hot and i do have to work.

Shirley, you are the youngest 80 year old I’ve met!! I don’t know what your secret is, can you let me in on it please? I’m 60 and sure could use some of your energy! I also believe that YOUR heart will be forever young!! You spread love and joy all around!! <3 (((Huggs)))

Thank you Mary :)

Definitely doable! :)

, awww, thank you dear Michele. I don't have a secret, I just have our Lord. He keeps me going through His unconditional love and support. I also have a wonderful family and many lovely friends in real life and here on Subeta. 80 isn't much different than 60, just lots of wrinkles and less energy. 😆 😘

Wow, one of the best things I have ever picked out of his pocket! O_O

Wow, it looks like that was some good stuff you brought Carl. He's passed out! You decide to reach into his pockets and pay yourself.

58,500sP AND Mystical Magical Elven Ring

I love how our judges pick on so many different factors that it really makes it varied on who they choose for 1st 2nd and 3rd. :) and - your mother/daughter competition is just the cutest thing. haha! It's impressive to beat your mom, though.. don't let your guard down, Goosey... or she'll smoke you! :P :)

Congratulations, , , and ! Your HA's are amazing, ladies!

I had no idea you were 80! :o From the way you talk on the forums, it seems like you're in your 20's! You are definitely young at heart. Most people tell me that I'm more mature than I look, and also that I look older than I am because my figure is so curvy.

, I definitely take inspiration from you, as well as the other ladies who compete. You're all so talented!

For the past few days, I've been reading my real mom's blog, I'm Sorry For Cursing. It talks about her struggle with cancer, all the way up until the end. If anyone's interested, or know someone who would be, I'd love it if you'd direct them (or yourself, lol) HERE.

60 has its share of wrinkles too my friend! Especially if you were in the sun when you were younger!! We had annual family vacations, not to mention the weekend outings, all of them being water skiing, boating, etc. great times!!

Nice snag from Carl! If you don’t warn gooseylou, she WILL let her guard down, EVENTUALLY!! Lol ? Shhh ?

Thank you sweetie! Your real moms blog, she is your mom?

Yes'm. My mom on here is my stepmom (or bonus mom.. her words 😆) The blog is my real mom's struggle with cancer before her passing in November of 2012. She has another blog that focuses on living with me and my brother and my dad, but I can't remember the name of it.

Aww, sweetie I’m sincerely sorry for the loss of your Mom!! <3 CANCER SUCKS I lost my daughter in 2014 to cancer <3 I am going to make time to go read her blog. Is your stepmom in our group? (((((Huggs)))))

Yes! is my stepmom. Thank you for making time to read my mom's blog. I struggle with anxiety and depression, much like she did, and you'll also get to see pictures of Little Me!

it is.

Was hot at work even with airco. Past midnight but still very warm an stuffy here.. Going to be a sticker night.

Can some explain to me this nuegarten? What do we have to do?

[edit] tuesday

Good morning all. Not even noon here and already really hot (darn heat wave). It's already 82,4F.

Am just popping in quickly to say “THANK YOU!!” to all (if I have forgotten you, please forgive!!) who wished me and sent me birthday wishes and gifts!! I did not want another day to go by without me doing so. ☹️ I STILL HAVEN’T opened my presents ? yet and I’m super excited to do so but I swear there’s not enough time in the day to do all the things you want to do!! I’ve been trying to do quests to make sP for Luminaire caz I kinda went hog wild after I cleaned up my inventory and had the room to get the stuff I had been missing. I blew through 60 Million sP in little chunks (30,000 sP, 5,000 sP etc) Nothing huge, soooo that WAS my Luminaire present ? for my wonderful friends, lol. Thank you again very very much everyone!! ? to all!! I apologize again for being such a hermit and not participating in the Raindeer games, lol. I’m a bad bad friend and cult participant, even though I want to, especially the “Who wears it best” game. Fun times! ?

Happy belated birthday to all that I missed!! ? Happy HUGS ? (What do we have now, week & month??) to those who were nominated and won!! I’m afraid to leave and look for fear of losing everything I have typed so far!! It has taken me a LONG TIME to do!! Sorry. ? Next time I’ll be better prepared when I come in here. ❤️ to all!! I hope everyone is fairing well in their RL’s and are safe and happy. Take care everyone, I will do my best to pop back in and answer mails and posts as soon as I can.[/p]

Since I’m unable to access my “ACHIEVEMENTS” properly, can anyone tell me if the “Have 100 million sP in your SHOP TILL” still a viable achievement?? I’d appreciate it if someone could tell me please. I am getting a LOT of achievements for doing quests!! I have NOT been doing them for years because of the whole inventory fiasco but now I’m on a roll!! Even doing the Blue Building. I was not aware though that you only got 2-3 quest points per person!! I feel sorry for people who have like 30 (I may be off on the # of pets a person can have so I’m just throwing a # out there) pets who read to ALL of their pets!! Can you imagine how long it will take to earn the QP’s for not only books but the food!! I have chosen only 3 pets to feed certain foods to but I want all my pets to be smart :) It is going to take me FOREVER but I guess that’s what Subeta wants??[/p]

, I read your mom's blog. It's so sad for her to lose her life so young and for you and your brother to lose her. She did a wonderful on the blog. It's so nice for you to have the story and pictures of your life. What a little cutie! I love the expression "bonus mom" for Josta. I pray for you to be healed from anxiety and depression and hope you've found a good counselor who can help you overcome them. ❤ (((hugs)))

Congratulations . Carl must love you a lot!!! 😄

, I've always had to stay out of the sun as I was a red head and burned so easily. I hated that and my red hair but it turned out pretty well. When you're a teenager you don't think there might be a benefit when your 80. Who ever thinks they'll be 80 anyway? I still don't believe it until I get a look at the old lady looking back at me in the mirror. That gives me a start every time. Then I erase her from my mind and I'm 60 again! 😆

Thank you! Josta actually came up with the term 'bonus mom' because she doesn't like 'stepmom' that much. I have found a counselor and psychologist that work for me (after one counselor that didn't work so well..) and I'm doing a lot better now!

Happy Tuesday, all! Hope your day is going well. HUGS to all ❤

I'm happy that you found professionals that are good for you and that you're doing a lot better now. That's great! (((hugs)))

Thank you for posting the link to your mom's blog. I will definitely read it! (((Hugs)))

Hi Debi! You are very welcome. The shop till saver achievement for a 100 million is still there. There is also one after that for 250 million. Have a good rest of the week (((Hugs)))

Thank you! I definitely feel more at ease now, what with therapy and such. It's such a relief to me.

It's no problem! I love reading it, mostly because it's a way to see what she's thinking and kind of how she was, you know what I mean? 'Cause I can't remember much about her, so it's nice to see, or read, how she views life and how I was raised.

How's everyone's day going?
