You would insult the Byzantine's by comparing Market Place Search to them? It is more like Neanderthal. Now quit being lazy and go make some boxes.

Are you annoyed because you miss your boxes? You are boxless in a box filled world with only a generic, cluteristic folder based delivery method to cling to. It''s not too late to turn away from the dark side and to re-embrace all the functional goodness that boxes have to offer you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very serious issue indeed and the sooner the "boxless" realise this the better. They may have been corrupted and lured away by a seemingly more attractive delivery method, but it's not too late for them see the light and to change their misbegotten ways. We can save them and reignite their love of boxes! Lets all start by watching this video.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillyBeth Filth Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 :matte-motes-big-grin-squint: I LOVE the original version to that song. I used to watch "Weeds" and the intro music was this terrible womans voice ..."And they're all made out of TICKY TACKY!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillyBeth Filth Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 WTF IS Ticky Tacky anyway... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Gorky Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I love Weeds and agree with you whole heartedly about the voice of the woman singing the theme tune, it's like nails down a blackboard. Series 2, 3 and 8 had a different artist each episode performing a different version of Little Boxes, that was much cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That woman, for those not old enough to remember the 1960s well, is Malvina Reynolds, who wrote that song as well as many others that were popular at the time. One of the best songwriters of the era. :smileywink: Little Boxes was a wonderful commentary on the remnants of the 1950s suburban lifestyle that we were all rebelling against. The sing-songy children's tune made it doubly effective. IMO, it loses something in this video version by focusing on the metaphor instead of its message.

Pamela Galli Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 No, it just means cheap tacky post-war tract houses, scorned by elitists who apparently did not understand that people bought them not because they thought they were great but because they were all they could afford. Same as now. I live in a suburb not because I love suburbs but because I can't afford anything charming closer in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LillyBeth Filth Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Ah so Tacky = Cheap. Gotcha. I use the term "tacky" myself to describe something cheap or tasteless. I live in a ticky tacky house built in the 90s. Thrown up. In the UK old brick Victorian houses are built better. Anything from the 1960s onwards would be thrown up with ticky tacky materials.

Lexi Zelin Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I still pack my stuff in boxes because alot of my packs have a ton of stuff in them and I don't trust LL to send everything in a folder and my boxes have a group invite which has proven successful in building my main group. There are lots of reasons why merchants still box their items up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyCat Ninetails Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 my stuff comes in boxes cause of several reasons.... 1. My inworld vending system requires boxes 2. I can find things easier in my inventory if they are in boxes. 3. When i do an update, I can figure out what is the latest update by naming the box V2 or V3 or V15 *grins*...one new tray I am working on is alreayd on V4 *sigh* without renaming the product but still being able to tell which is the most current item. 4. I am a lazy kitty. I already have over a thousand items listed on the marketplace, and I so don't wanna open all them boxes again. For me, tho, the update thing is the most important. *Shrugs* but thats me. Kittycat Ninetails Kittycat's Creations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
