Dream Homes Invaded by Link Leak Virus

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 4:09 pm

Imagine Your Dream Home

Open Comment Night began in a lovely way. Doug and Joe and AdLib started talking and shortly thereafter the talk of magical exciting dream homes started showing signs of the link leak virus.

The Link Leak Virus was to be part of every home we described — even Phil’s famous Gerby Shak! The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

Welcome to all of the new folks who came. It was great fun having you!

Cool links were shared.

Just a Bunch of Dreamers

Douglas came in talking of McMansions, but they weren’t for Joe who dreamed of
a two-part building for his dwelling.
AdLib told of a Dungeon of Doom or the World’s Largest Library, but Joe wasn’t buying. He said it could take as many 11,005,247 comments to get his house back — no telling.

The pace picked up after that.

Dossy brought news of the housing bubble about to pop.
Kirsten decided that one dream house was no place to stop.
Phil’s imagination carried everyone away to adventure land
Start reading at comment 47 and you’ll understand.
Renée doesn’t need a new dream home. She’s got one.
Ben just sold his. So, he’s looking to find another one.

Rick has his dream home planned with a skycar also.
Starbucker will be dreaming his days away in the mountains of Colorado.
HART gets the real estate mantra location, location, location.
A log cabin is Mike’s ideal permanent dream vacation.

Christine will be on a river in the woods.
SeanRox seems to think the house he’s in is pretty good.
Becky wants real wiring and closets that aren’t too small.
Samuel thinks after all his homes this one is best of all.

cat’s had dream houses and is surprised that a city now has its charm.
Whimsperation wants to build downtown homestead farm.

Me? I just want to live in a luxury airplane, flying to see all of my friends in their dream houses everywhere.

    Sorry I missed it, Liz, but I wasn’t in the mood for dream houses last night. Ah well, maybe next week.

    Hi Rick,
    It was great having you!
    Your dream house was wonderful, especially the table and the skycar!

    Hey Liz,

    See, you are a poet
    and I didn’t even know it.

    I did bring one plane for you and one for AdLib, I hope that was enough.

    Joe,
    That was mighty generous of you. But you know, Joe, I was thinking more along the lines of a luxury jet with a bedroom etc. . . . if I’m gonna live in and all. :)

    Hi Liz .. Sorry I disappeared last night .. all of a sudden I had a shortage of virtual memory on my computer, a reboot, spyscan or two, Star Trek, Have Gun Will Travel, and The Daily Show .. and I seemed to have gotten sidetracked.. I just forgot to come back!

    Hey HART,
    No worries, you get to have a life. Sounds like you had fun. I wish we got Have Gun Will Travel here. :)

    Thanks :)

    We get it here on the LoneStar Channel .. it’s a Canadian station having lots of western oldies .. well worth it, if your cable/satelite station has it!

    I think if I tried hard enough I could probably remember all of the words to the theme song. . . . maybe, maybe not.

    I know as little kid I like Palladin a whole lot better than I like Bonanza . . . they were too goody-goody on Bonanza.

    Ok Liz,

    I couldn’t wait til next time, so I brought your Flying Dream House tonight…

    You may want to paint it a different color, but it has all the amenities, including all the WiFi and comm links you will ever need.

    Whoa, Joe! Thank you!
    That is sooo cool! You can bet that I mean it when I say that I’ve never had one before! What fun! It’s not even a special occasion or anything.

    You’re really special! Thank you!
    I’m grinning. :)

    No need for a special occasion for a special friend.

    ‘dja notice, I got it right the first time? ;-)

    ME Strauss said

    Yeah, I noticed you got that link thing down. I can’t do that.

    Joe said

    Save a pic to file on your HD.
    Upload .jpg or whatever you use to your host.
    That’s the link you use for showing the pic.
    Easy.
    If I can do it, I know you can. :-)

    Thanks! I’ll remember that.

    I never seem to make it to one of these. Tuesday I have one daughter with football practice (yep…no gender stereotyping here) and another with cheerleading practice (okay, maybe just a little). By the time were in and settled, the conversation is winding up. But it’s cool to go back through the comments and see where the conversation went.

    Hey, Tony,
    We’ve talked about doing a weekend some time. I just haven’t thought of when a good weekend would be, but maybe then you’ll make around to see us. :)

    Last night was filled with imagination. I bet you would have enjoyed it. :)

    Thanks Liz and everyone for another wonderful evening (morning for me).

    Weekend open mic sounds great, since I’m home all day on weekends. I usually do wednesday lunch with girlfriends, catchin’ up aka “gossiping” or “girl talk”. ;-)

    Thanks again, Liz! Looking forward to the next open mic night ;-)

    Hi Whims,
    (Sure hope you don’t mind me calling you that. It makes me think of beautiful butterflies).

    I was glad came and even more delighted that you had fun. I was great to find out about your homestead farm in the middle of town and how much it sounds like a dream I would walk right into. :)

    Hi Renee,
    See, I got my Amazon account going? Didn’t know you had so much power did ya? :)

    I love it that you get to stop by at all. You add such a lovely, smart dimension to each week when you do. :)

    Renée said

    Oh stop it, Liz. You making my head swells. ;-)

    Y’know, I was about to ask you which amazon script/plugin was that? The one on your sidebar is much better than most I’ve seen.

    Honestly, my amazon conversion rate isn’t that good. I may have to try your method to see how it goes.

    Cheers to girl power! :-)

    ME Strauss said

    Hi Renee,
    Your head could be a little bigger, no one would notice . . . Really. :)

    The plugin is WP-Amazon, but I think you just might be seeing that I customized it. If that so write me an email and I’ll tell you what I did.

    Thanks for the link-love, Liz … and thanks for hosting the open mic. It was fun! Glad I got the timing right this week.

    Dossy,
    It was great to have you! Now you know why it’s kind of hard to explain exactly what open comment night is like. :)

    Thank you for coming! You added one stainless steel house and a lot of cool comments we wouldn’t have had without you. :)
