Webcams and an offer I couldn't refuse... 1 Attachment(s) A little before 4 p.m. my time, I get a text message. "Hi there, feel like doing something silly? Can you get on the web for the next 10 minutes?" Sounds like an offer a gal can hardly refuse, right?! ;) Turns out that Mike, aka DesertEyes, is currently in Vegas and was standing in the central Atrium/Conservatory of the Bellagio Hotel--and they have a webcam! So, I go searching the web and find the live feed... Mike: "K, see the big Xmas tree?" Me: "Yes...!" Mike: "To the right of the tree is a locomotive, then a xmas ornament, then a guy in a gray sweater" Me: "I do see you! I can't believe this!" So yes, ladies and gentlemen, I did get to see Mike today even though he is miles from me. I captured an image from the web and share it here with his permission, of course. The next post will have a close up from this picture :) |
1 Attachment(s) Ladies and Gentlemen, a charming photo of Mike...sending me a text! Too fun!! Thank you, Mike :hug: You made my day :) |
Oh, wow! love it! Thanks!! |
Seren, that's really cool! Hi Mike. |
Well, that is cool. Cheers, Seren. |
Yup, that's me, trying to figure out how to work my ****** phone so I could co-ordinate with Seren, and stay out of the way of tourists taking selfies, and not sneeze too much cuz I got allergies and all those colors you see are flowers. I was kinda hoping I'd look like one of the Helmsworth boys, but I guess the lighting wasn't good ;) * lol * Mike :) |
LOL great stuff guys :) D |
Haha you guys are cute and I didn't know you were a couple lol. |
At that distance, you looked JUST like George Clooney. :) |

That is cool...!!!!! Never seen the inside of the Bellagio, and seeing it all decorated at Christmas time. It must be breath taking. :) To connect with one of our fellow SR members is wonderful and to have a special friendship, support, care, understanding, helping us each day as we travel the road of recovery together makes it less lonely. :) There are many like me that are not tech savvy or have all those bells and whistles that come with a phone, so I appreciate it when someone posts pictures of where they live or a trip they are on. It allows those who have never ventured far from home to see that yes there is so much out there in the world other than our little corner of the world really do exists. :) And then to see it all decorated at Christmas Time. WOW...!!!! Reading and seeing your pictures Serene and Desert Eyes shared with miles in between is totally awesome and definitely made me smile and be filled with joy and hope that maybe one day we can visit Vegas during the holidays. :) Been to Vegas once yrs ago with my little family around the time JonBenet Died and saw the yellow tape still wrapped around the house. We did eat at the Flamingo and road strip to see all the neon signs lite up. We flew thru one casino with kids in tow and remembering how noisy it was and hoping no one would stop us because of the kids as we were looking for a place to eat the night we arrived. Anyway.... Serene I hope you don't feel bad because of this. You definitely lifted my spirits and memories. :) |
Hi Mike! Lol. Great post! Merry Christmas to all! |

How fun! That Mike is a smart guy to think to reach out to you and tell you to check the webcam. Thanks for sharing this Seren and I'm glad it brightened your day! |

At a distance I look like George Clooney !!!?!?? Antonio Banderas !?!??! * self <= makes note, never let anybody get closer than 100 feet and everybody will think I am a movie star * * lol * -----------------------------------------

Super Cool! Thank you for sharing! |
Thank you for sharing it with us ! How fun to see our beloved Desert Eyes! That would make my day too, Seren :) |
I loved it! Mike, it is wonderful to have a "face" to the name of one of the biggest "comforters" I have had in my journey with alcoholism and familial abuse! Seren, thank you for sharing and I am sending you loving vibes in what has to be a very tough season for you in light of your loss. xoxo |
