MEEZ: Sometimes You Just Need To Have Some Fun

My wife and I were directed to this last night and thought is was just too much fun.

It's a 3D virtual me... doing what I'd really love to be doing every day... blogging on a beach. I got to choose all of my features and put myself in the location of my choice, doing the activity of my choice.

It's not going to change the world, but it does allow you to have a little fun and link from your profile to your blog. It's just one more way to build up a network. I have a feeling this one will be getting a lot of play.

I'm definitely going to encourage Julie Ferenzi to do one and use it as she sees fit at Living In Plainfield! Humor works, folks. Just ask Teresa Boardman! Or TLW!

Will there be some value in the network?

I have no idea. But it was fun!

That's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to play with it =D

Cool stuff! Wow - you look like you're in Hawaii! Thanks for sharing more fun stuff!

Jeff, LOL I noticed this before you even blogged about it. I must have a feeling that "Jeff always has something good going on at his place" and it's always worth checking out. I made a mini-me but I can't get the link (yes, I used the first one) to work right in AR. Help?

By the way, I'm super busy today and enjoyed every minute of playing around with this one!

OOps!!! Just realized Bob already did this with our MySpace site.

This is going to be fun...you always have something great to add to the mix here.. Ive been away for days at a time and when I visit to get my fix- I start with you Jeff!

Alll... and it's just a .gif file. So, if you've got a gif editor, like photoshop you can edit it. If I wanted to get rid of the Meez.com and make it more of a commercial for myself, I could. Remember that you would have to upload this to your site. AR doesn't upload .gif animations well.

meez animation

Put me in a convertible flying down Hwy 1!

Off to do my dreemz at meez....

Thanks, Jeff!

Boys and their toys!! Just how do you get any work done, Mr. Turner??? ;o)

This is hilarious!

Roberta... you go girl!

Sarah... who ever said I get any work done? :)

Maureen... yep! That's the entire point. :)

MEEZ THINKS that is A BLAST!! Thanks ( I refrained from using the shopping bags saving it for TLW)

Fran... your Meez is working harder than my Meez.

Very funny! I better email this to the lovely wife:)

{SVW Hubba} aka "Tool Boy"...

...And my don't we have some FUN tools today :)

That thing is a blast, but I can't get it to give me a Code so I can load it? I'm created and ready to rock but it stops there. All empty boxes with no codes or URL's?

It won't let me download either. Any idea of what I did wrong? I want to PLAY. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Well that didn't work. LOL.

Where's My Hat? LOL.

Okay. So I decided to be bald. Wink. Wink. SVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVW :)

TLW...ROAR!

Damn. I lost the whole animating thing :(

LMAO @ TLW.....

TLW [SVW]... you tried to upload the .gif file via the upload panel didn't you? Bad girl. ActiveRain won't allow that.

Go back and grab the top code, and when you go to add an image, just paste the code in the field at the top. That points to the Meez site for the animated gif.

Jeff, Don't tell her how to do it. This could keep her out of my hair for hours and hours:)

Bite Me Blog Boy. No really, bite me. LOL.

LAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHING @ BB

Want him to bite you too Fran? I can 'make' that happen. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Meez.com

Lots of fun! I need fun! Thanks for sharing. BTW - I'm worn out just watching TLW and those flips!

{SVW Hubba}...

When you have a minute (and I know those are rare right now) but will you pretty please email me the "RainJacked" Graphic you made for me?

I lost my copy when my p.c. crashed. As you can see I need my graphic. Wink. Wink.

TLW...ROAR!

Hmmmmmm TLW.... Does he have false teeth? Nah... I've got more man than I can handle here at home... guess I should have thought before I married a younger guy... LOL...

LOL @ Fran...

Craddle Robber :)

This conversation has the potential to go south real quick. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Didn't mean to wear you out Calie...

Love that name btw :)

TLW...ROAR!

I'm going to behave now..... well I'm gonna try anyway. TLW you are such a FIRECRACKER!

I have heard that before. Would you like me to...Ooops. Better not say that here. Wink. Wink.

It had something to do with my butt though. Wrap your imagination around that one. LOL.

P.S. This is FUN I haven't hijacked one of Hubba's posts in a long 'virtual' time :)

TLW...ROAR!

Butt Smut......My imagination is pretty vivid..... you think you can get that kind of action out of your MEEZ? LOL

Butt Smut...LOL. I would say your imagination is putting in a little over time. LOL.

My Meez skills need more work. But I will work on it and see just how much I can get away with.

Looooooove to see just how far I can push that envelope :)

Where's Hubba? Is he hiding out again in the bathroom with Flat Ben? LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Thanks Jeff!! I did one too but am not sure about the protocol of pasting it here so will refrain (the rules etc are NOT intuitive to me). I can't seem to make it go into the post but it is a fun do-dad.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh boy....a chance to go play!! Thanx

Introducing RealtorKelly! That was fun but I couldn't get the link to work. Oh well, I put it on my page!

I go away for a few hours to hang with the family and get them to bed and THIS is what I come back to... a hijacked post! THANK GOODNESS! IT'S BEEN SO LONG! I had to go pull all of my old hijack graphics out to see if they still fit.

They fit fine...

but this is still my favorite

MAY

2007

Lol, not sure of the value, but it was fun!

RealEstateGal

Ana... sometimes the value IS the fun. :)

It appears some of you are having trouble getting the animated version into AR. This is because AR will not upload an animated gif, you have to link to it.

Go back into your Meez.com account and get the code again. The top code is the link code, "Get LInk."

In a post or comment on AR, click on the image upload link, but don't upload, just put the link code you copied from Meez.com into the field. AR converts the gif upon upload, that's why it won't animate. That's for a post.

For the sidebar, choose the smaller animated version. Copy the new code for that smaller version. Go to your AR homepage and click on My Settings. Drop that code into the blog description field. Ignore the Blog Description Text field.

Hope that helps. It no fun if you can't share it!

When I saw I could have a pet, I was OK with being a Meez. But then my "sweet" hubby pointed out that she's too skinny. NOT HELPFUL. Thanks.

(She IS too skinny!!)

Sarah... this is what I love most about my Meez. He is thin in a way I have not been since I was 12.

Hey...Hey :)

I have my graphics. Hooray for "The Flippin Wife" LOL.

Hubba...We adopted Sarah yesterday. She gave me two more Grand Daughters and boy we are really happy about that :)

TLW...ROAR!

My meez is too freakin' skinny! I don't see a way to pack a few more pounds on her. She's also too tall and too young. :-) Maybe us oldsters should stage a Gray Power protest or something!

Edit: I just noticed Sara Cooper has the same compliant. Someone really should suggest to meez to add a selection of "body types" and "age groups".

And Jeff - I like my size and shape right now. It's just more South Park than meez, I guess.

LOL @ Cheryl...

"Gray Power". That cracked me up :)

I couldn't find Blonde so I opted for "Bald" :)

TLW...ROAR!

Hmmm. That was fun. I totally wasted away a couple of hours on that site. I got hooked. I just had to make a couple different ones. I started horseback riding recently so...

My Meez

ok - gotta add one more...

my meez

Hey, that's pretty cool...thanks!

This is just way too much fun for adults to be having. :)

Check out the one Mana Tulberg put in her sidebar... http://activerain.com/blogs/venturacounty

I loved that. I am off to figure out how to do that to my side bar now.

The poll for throwing Broker Bryant in the lake is rigged :)

TLW [SVW]... use the smaller version of the animated gif and pull the code from there.

Thank you...Don't mind me I'm just "Pointlessly Dancing In The Rain" and practicing my Meez skills. ROAR!

Hmmm. That entry changed my other Meez.

Looks like I better put this up before I throw my laptop in the flippin lake :)

These are pretty funny! I don't have time to do one right now, but, I want a skinny one, when I do. After all, it is my Meez!

MAY

2007

How funny!!! These really cracked me up!!!!

Love it Jeff and Rocky Thanks! It looks like there is something in there for all of us!

It looks like we all just needed a little fun! I love my new gadget in my sidebar. And I mean it. I'm blogging as fast as I can! :)

Late entry, but I had to join this one!!!

Happy Mothers Day, Jeff and Rocky and all mothers. This only took me 10 trys to get it right.

Jeff,

Sorry I missed this earlier. I am going to go see what I can come up with as I see a lot of creativity here.

I did actually end up blogging from the beach for real on a trip recently to Grand Cayman. I even posted a picture there of my view beyond my computer screen. Not a bad place to blog. If you want to check it out, here is the link...

http://activerain.com/blogsview/89764/Unique-Opportunites-Abound-You

Keep up the posts like this.

Bob... love the t-shirt.

Missy... it may have taken you some time, but the likeness is pretty darn good, don't you think?

Robert... very nice. I plan on blogging my way cross country with the six kids in the car this summer. I'll do it from the passenger seat during the times when my wife drives. That should be very... interesting. :)

I'm also noticing that you guys are changing your scenes. Very nice!

Well, Jeff like you I haven't been that skinny in let's see...............5 babies ago !

Fun stuff. I love the fact that I'm younger, better looking at thinner. I just wish I could finish my swing...

Larry... LOL!

OK, Had to come back and post this for fun. I couldn't get any better right now, but I will play with it more later.

Dig it.

Interesting. I switched my club for a cell phone and didn't realize it automatically switched it here as well...scary. Unfortunately, this is more appropriate...me with a cell phone on the golf course...

By the smile and hand motions I must be extolling the attributes of one of my favorite Realtors...

Mine changed too. I didn't think of it when I was playing around with it, but I guess we can have more fun changing things around as we go along.

But here is my first one, hopefully animation works still...

These are all hysterical. I may go back and find mine (with a camera in hand) and post it. I was worried that it was a no-no to do that.

Haven't been able to make it work on my blog but spent an hour trying. I'm not so good at the tech side of this stuff.

Jeff thanks for the fun. Today I've been haggling repairs and it's gotten a little heated. The light hearted fun was just what I needed.

Okay "Tool Boy"...

We need help with this. SVW.

TLW...ROAR!

OK... I like my new meez that's now in the post an awful lot. It fits nice in the corner and placing him on a white background makes it look like he's living in the post. I think he will be my new fun post graphic. :)

I like it :)

Your new Meez will also serve as a hint that I can hijack it :)

If it has anything to do with FUN I'm there.

I love it! I like fun stuff! Gives me a break ....Happy Mother's Day to your wife!

TLW [SVW]... amen to that!

Celeste... thank you!

MAY

2007

COOL STUFF THANKS

Olivier... I don't know who you are, but I like your smile.

Great job Jeff. It's been fun...

Yes it has... it's been a while since I've done one just for fun and it was just what the doctor ordered!

Just so you know....I am called WooHoo Sally.....and TLW gave me that name...and I am proud of it...so ha!

WOOHOO SALLY! I dig it. I have two nicknames bestowed upon me by the great nickname giver, "HUBBA" and "TOOL BOY." I prefer "HUBBA," but TOOL BOY works for me too.

{SVW Hubba}...

She is very proud of her nickname. She googled it and it popped up on the first page. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Hi Jeff! I just found this post and am laughing my a$$ off at BB and TLW! Those two just crack me up! I have to ask, what is SVW?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Debe...

First of all, thanks for coming back here. It drew me in and I got to read it all again. Flippin' Hilarious :)

SVW = Smiling/Smile Very Wide :)

TLW...ROAR!

Should I say 'duh' or is this a TLW acronym?!!

SVW

;-)

Ever hijacked a 2-year old post?! {wink, wink}

LOL...

I'm pretty sure anyone with blond hair has the trademark on 'duh' :)

Hubba doesn't care if we re-RainJack one of his posts. If you think about re-RainJacking is just like reBlogging :)

Just so you know I once answered every single one of the Commenters on one of his posts. I should find it and email it too you. It was crazy funny :)

TLW...ROAR!

Ah Ha...

I found it. We were all just so silly back in those days :)

<Sex And Real Estate. Part One>

Some of us were drinking and blogging. Not me though, I would never do that :)

TLW...ROAR!

LMAO at your blond trademark! I resemble that remark!

TLW--you are a HOOT! I want to know where PART 2, 3 and... are!! I'm longing for more sex and real estate!! Oh, that didn't come out right, did it?! Another blonde moment!

Today is my first day off in several weeks and I am sitting by the pool enjoying catching up on some posts--I have no idea how I found this one but, I've been sitting here laughing out loud at your comments! What would we do without you TLW?!

Hmmm...

I am just vain enough to actually believe that without me, AR would have just been another icky real estate site :)

TLW...ROAR!

Oh...

You asked a question :)

Go to Hubbas tags and pull down sex and real estate :)

TLW...ROAR!

I wonder how many of us "oldies" are still following this post?

I was sitting in the sun reading these on my BB, was going to come in and comment

Then I feel and sprained my ankle BAD, can't walk. Size of a golf ball.

Yea we had fun back then, now some here get their pannies in a wad over fun on AR.

I say we wad up our panties and throw them at them... that might calm 'em down. :)

Happy Father's Day. (Yes, I'm on the computer on a Sunday.)

LOL...

I'm guessing the panties should be...Oh, never mind. AR is no longer the place for me to talk dirty :)

Happy Fathers Day Hubba. Hope you're having a great time with the widgets :)

Now get off the computer and go play with them!

P.S. Hey. Maybe I'll come back and make noodle jokes :)

Missy...

So sorry about your ankle. I hope it gets better soon. Not being able to walk really sucks!

TLW...ROAR!

Missy--sorry to hear about your ankle. I have broken my foot before and sprained my ankle both and let me tell you, the sprain hurts FAR more than the break! Hope you're feeling better soon!

Speaking of panties--one of the features today got several in a wad! Sometimes you just have to consider the source and MOVE ON!

Happy Father's Day Jeff! (now that it's almost over!)

Hubba...

I never unchecked the 'notify me of comments' on any of your blogs. I really enjoyed coming back here. Who knew that some day I really would be a busy jumpy bald chic :)

It's actually kind of strange. Maybe deep down I knew. It happens. I'm that good :)

TLW...ROAR!
