Qur'an 20200520

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

77.  Does not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm?  Yet behold!  He is an open adversary!

78.  And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation.  He says, "Who can give life to bones and decomposed ones?"

79.  Say, "God will give them life, Who created them the first time!"  For God is Well-versed in every kind of creation.

Ya Sin 36:77-79

Malaysian

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling?  I hope you're feeling healthy and happy.  You know Honey, when people talk about lots of money it usually means they want to take it not give it.  So I hope I didn't get you overly excited in that matter.  If it is the latter inshaAllah, then get ready to talk to me often.  We will need to discuss a ring.  I probably would just get enough to update my computer and bank account.  Or nothing at all.



I adjusted the nose just a couple of notches, and now Mary Unknown7 looks Malaysian.  Isn't that interesting.  What a spooky avatar.

Euro

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today, Honey?  Please do take care sweet loving care of yourself, because I love you so much.  Even the slightest sensation of a cold or flu symptom must be neutralized immediately.  I hope you are feeling better, and enjoying your wonderful life.  It's been a strange day for me.  Ramadan is full of strange occurrences, but it's par of the course for Rock and Roll business so I guess it's another day in the office for me.  I don't really want to discuss it here because it's litigious in nature.  Let's just say there's a lot of money involved.



These are Mary Unknown7's Euro look days.  It's because of that nose: I need to put more work in on that nose.  I'm getting her avatar to squint more so people might think she's Asian, but really it's just a sleepy animation.

Red nose

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's your health?  I hope you are keeping nice and warm.   Is it cold over there?  I had a dream last night that you were cold and I gave you many blankets.  It's been a cold day over here.  I like cold days, so it's nice and pleasurable now.  I wish I could be there to help warm you up, and feed you some nice food.  So please take care of yourself, and your health.  It's almost June!  It will warm up for you soon...  InshaAllah...

Mary Unknown7 looks a bit Polish now, with that new nose...

The Catwa Freya mesh head

Hi Natty!  What's happening?  Is it exciting for you over there?  I sure hope you are feeling well, and having a great time.  It's a nice, cool day over here.  It didn't start off that way, but it's sure comfortable now.  I spent the evening picking mangoes from the big tree in my front yard.  The Prophet (peace be on him) recommended that we break fast with dates but I don't like dates, so I break my fast with a glass of red sugar water and ripe mangoes.  This year, Ramadan is right smack in the middle of mango season!



I've been spending many hours working on the Catwa Freya mesh head, and I think I finally got it to look acceptable.  A mesh head is better in quality and more in features than the system head we get for free when we sign up with Second Life.  My mistake was using Mary's avatar as a model instead of Mary herself.  Here is the system head that Mary Unknown7 has been using for her avatar:

And here is my latest update to the Catwa Freya mesh head which was a giveaway, and almost everyone got for free:

I presented it to Mary, and she said it looks much better than the last time.  Thus she has consented to our using the Freya mesh head from now on.  The Catwa Kimberly mesh head is a more accurate representation of Mary's appearance, but I can't afford that right now.  The Freya mesh head isn't bad though.  The only people who bitch about the free gift are the ones who don't know how to shape and style it.  Mesh heads have to be used with the shape that comes with it, and that default shape makes the avatar look like a midget woman with a super big butt, so I can understand the people's dismay when they try it on for the first time.

So these will probably be the last snapshots I take of Mary's avatar with the old system head:

 Mary kind of looks like Daisy Ridley in this one!

Hi Natty

How are you, my love?  I hope everything is well with you.  It's a busy day for me, go go go!  I'm dripping wet after taking a shower, and it's almost sunset so I can't chat long.  I did have time to make dinner: it's fried flat noodles with chicken.  I finally got a chance to cut the grass, the weather has been so wet lately.  Anyway, gotta move on!  I love you!

10 more days

Hi Natty!  How are you, my darling?  I hope you are having a great time, and are healthy.  I'm doing OK, there's only 10 more days of fasting left.  Wow!  It's been a fast moving month.  But soon I get to drink coffee in the afternoon again.  I can't wait!  I haven't had coffee in over 20 days!  Most people go crazy over the Eid.  I don't think too much of that.  I don't really pay attention to public holidays other than that it's tourist season, and now there's Covid.  But God has a special way of handing out paychecks, and the tourists have become residents, and the whole world is a small town now, so I pray that God will have some financial mercy on me soon.  Dinner is rice with eggs and "petai" in hot sauce.  Petai is a legume which enhances spicy rice entrees with a unique, slightly bitter but very strong and pungent flavor.  It's hard to explain, it's probably an acquired taste, but I like it.  Call me local.  Then again, Americans are getting hooked on durian while I don't eat that stuff.
