Challange 2008-4 - Tuesday February 26, 2008

MiLords and MiLadies,

I apologize for the delay in giving you a new challenge.  I hope the following will be worth the wait!   I want you to tell me:

THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE I WAS 10

Get in your Way Back Machines!  Can you remember things that happened to you before you were ten?  List it, make up a story about it, write a poem about it, post pictures about it. . .any way you want to present it, I'll link it up for you!  Remember to come back to this site to let me know you've posted!
You have until the end of the month!

Everyone enjoys getting comments, even when they have posted after you have!  And don't forget those stars!  Have fun, you may begin NOW!

~Kween

Sorry I got to pass on this one cause truth be told I have very little if any memory at all of being younger then 14 years old. Aything before that age is too much of a blur.

Dear Jeri,

I'll try to fit in a post either tonight or tomorrow. I wrote an essay about my school year 63-64 (when I was 10) in my freshman year of high school. I already posted part of it last year, and might just transcribe the rest for your challenge.

I'm afraid that there are many things Xanga at which I am completely inept, stars being one.

Milady Jeri,

I finally created a post. It's not too long either. I've entered a first "blog entry from May 1963" As in the past, I will certainly attempt to keep up with the other posted entries, leaving comments, eprops and stars! Can't wait to see what other blogring members have in their memories, especially if they're "remembering" back over 40 years like I am.

Posted 2/22/2008 at 10:22 AM by baldmike2004

Milady Jeri,

I do believe I've finally covered all the bases, and visited each of the member's entries, starred, mini'd in some cases , epropped, and commented. Whew. I've been up since 5, so it's been two hours straight, and that was just to "catch up".

Of course I do believe it's worth it to fully particpate. I always like to point out the "golden rule", Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!" I certainly like to have people visit my blog and leave comments, and that's why I join and particpate in challenge rings. I never seem to be able to cover everyone, cause I enter "late" but I think I did all right this time, and didn't miss anyone.

I'll be back of course to see if anyone else posts. Thank you for giving such neat challenges and for running probably one of the best blogring challenge rings on Xanga. (Is that redundant or what?)

Challenge 2008-3 - Sunday February 17, 2008

MiLords and MiLadies,
Thank you for the fantastic turnout on the last challenge.  I was overwhelmed once again.  However, I noticed that many of you are still not commenting to all of the bloggers who took so much time and energy to participate!  I couldn't post until the third day, and I only got 19 comments. . . .just look at how many entered!  Tsk!
On with the new challenge:

Our lives in this society depend upon boundaries and laws.  Without them, society breaks down and begins to revert back to a savage state.  Because we want to continue as citizens of this planet, we have each learned how to survive not only for ourselves, but as part of a greater whole. Although you can't know  exactly what you might do if pushed to dire circumstances, you do know what you do in your every day existence.  This said, my question to you is this:

What are your personal laws and boundaries?  What will you absolutely NOT do?  What are some of the things that you do on a constant basis to help make our society a decent place to live, love and thrive? 
Example:  I never pick my nose in public, it's just something I wouldn't do!  But I do always say please and thank you even to the waiters and waitresses I come in contact with.

You have until the 15th of this month.

REMEMBER THAT EVERYONE WANTS COMMENTS!  EVEN THOSE WHO ENTER LATER THAN YOU DO! 

Come back and let me know you've posted so I can link to you.  Please link to either the Kween of the Queens blog ring or Kween_of_the_Queens site.

Enjoy!

Adieu'~Kween

Dear Jeri,

I, too noticed that a lot of the people to whom I commented on the last KOTQ topic didn't come visit me. I know I didn't comment on ALL the sites, because I posted my entry pretty late. But I worked "backward" and commented on the later entries first. I hope to get an entry up for this challenge within a couple of days. So that I can make sure I comment on all the entries as they appear.

I believe you have the most active blogring I've seen yet on Xanga. Congrats. At least your members love to post entries. Now if only they all could do more visiting. That's what I hate about my own ring. (Besides only having 14-15 posts a month out of 130 members) People might post, but never go see what the others have posted. Seems a bit "one sided".

It does take me a long time to make blogring visits, because I'm usually being "introduced" to new blogs, and I want to make sure I've sampled a few of their entries so it takes me a while to get around. (I also write letters instead of comments, which does take a little more time.) Sometimes when I visit a blogring topic entry, there are 4 or 5 entries "above" it, so I wonder if the blogger even knows I've commented!

Keep up the good work. I'll let you know when I've posted.

I agree we should be commenting. And it does take time. But, this group is worth the effort, I believe. You have attracked an interesting, grounded, caring group of people. Something that I think is quite an accomplishment. I'm glad to be a part.

As others have said, this challenge will take some thought. What do I REALLY live by, not what I wish I lived by. I'll give you the link when I do.

God Bless, Happy Super Bowl!

RYC:  It's going to be a couple of months before I have the new roomie, but this I already know.  And the prson cleans up after themselves.  BUt I have written and posted rules before.  A person that has no respect for boundaries will not follow them.  This woman had been informed of the rules when she moved in, especially regarding her children.  She chose to ignore them.  As a result, I asked her to leave.  Then life goes on.

HUGS!!!

i tried to do the MEEZ thing but it wouldnt let me. every time i clicked on an item like a body type or hair style or whatever, it said ERROR please refresh page. dunno what went wrong. but i love customizing online dolls and stuff.  it says something about downloading java. im hesitant to do so, cuz last time i downloaded my laptop got a virus.  and we dont have protection.  we have a virus scan, but no protection.
