Soldering Wire, Check

I got sort of torqued after waiting all day to see if I could bring my lappy to a local computer dr. that I decided to take matters in to my own hands. I figured it was a lost cause & it was confooked beyond repair. So what harm could I do? I'm happy to say... \o/ Yay! I iz does solder and have hopefully fixed my laptop. I'm amazed that I took it apart and put it back together (nevermind it took 4 hours). And it works, lol. Actually, I'm stunned. And did I mention it works? Even my bf is beyond impressed at my skill*z*. (ssshhh, I didn't tell him I took apart my parents' washer when I was 11 & fixed it with the assisstance of my 6 yr old brother. \o/ Yay for polariods to remember where all the pieces went too!)

Now at long last (oi, almost a week without photoshop=( ), I'm able to take pictures! So I'm going to go back & add some pics to the post below, but I'm sooooo behind that I wanted to start a new entry too.....

You can pick up the cutest cartoony unisex panda skin at Free Style. This skin is an excelent pick for hunts!!! Since there are no naughty bits you can fly around sans clothes and be totally adorable. You'll find the skin in a bill ($) stuck in a manaquin head. I made simple round prim ears tinted black for mine, but the skin does include non prim hair layer ears. ($0; m/f; skin; http://slurl.com/secondlife/Free%20Style/207/155/22)

Besides the dress shown below they also have a super sexy lingerie set that will get your lover purring, a unisex logowear tshirt, and a lovely $1 skin for girls. This store is bursting with come hither clothing so I decided to show it in a somewhat different light and go kawaii cute with the dress I'm showcasing to show that there is a bit of versatility to the sexy goods.

OUCH!

Yep, it appears that my laptop finally coughed up it's last hair ball. It's packed up and going off to a local dr. as soon as I get a call back. I'm suspecting that it's dead, dead, dead, though. So I'll be on the still alive, but even more craptaculous mac lappy with no way to take pics for a while. I suggest you check out some of the great freebie blogs linked in the right column and the couple of free blogs that are linked to this one via linkback for freebie info with accompanying photos.

Please if you're sending out blogger care packs keep in mind that I won't be able to post for 1 week (if the laptop is fixable) up to 3 weeks (if I have to order & then wait for delivery of a new computer).

For all you guys reading for the freebies, sorry for no pictures! But, I do have a couple of places that you'll probably want to check out.
