I've never lost any money. LL will not wait because it takes 2-3 days for a bank to send money to Paypal and LL wants their money at the time that you make a transaction.

If there was ever a reason to refund you money for a purchase or anything, you would get the money in L$ - it would not go directly back to your credit card or paypal.

Ok.

I found a fountain while wandering around.

Now if I found that fountain I am not sure I could resist the temptation to get naked and splash around in it.

Ok, I never had any jobs because I have to spend all my time studying. I don't have time for a job and I don't want to work in a fast food restaurant.

I managed to work and still pull a 4.0 in high school and college.  It just takes desire, commitment and perseverance.  If I wanted "things" I had to work - my mom sure as heck didn't have any extra money to toss my way.

But I have a question. Did you study Calculus?

Yes and my degree is in computer engineering.  I went to a technical school - 6:00 am until noon Mon-Fri and then worked 2:00-10:00 pm three days during the week and on Sat & Sun.  It was definitely not easy, but it was what was required to get me where I wanted to go in life.

Ok, and are you available to help me with calculus in the incoming semester? It's Calculus II.

You have kids already? I don't have any, yet. I also never had a partner at all. But do you think you still have time to teach me while it's still summer vacation now? And what about fall vacation or winter vacation?

I'm old - I have 2 kids that have already graduated college; my daughter even got her PHD a couple of years ago.

Sorry, my tutoring days are long past.  Between my full time job and the house that we are still remodeling, I don't even have as much time inworld as I'd like.

Now - enough of this and return the thread to what is was intended for:  Showing off pictures

It's ok.

Here is a nice compliment I have for you and it's a good thing. You are not old in heart, but you are eternally young inside. You seem younger than near retirement age of late 50's to mid 60's. My first impression of you was that you are a young woman in her early to mid-20's; around 5-7 years older than me. To my own surprise, I thought you were younger and just graduated from college. The fact that you have 2 kids made me think they are only a few years old and that it's normal for people at that age, which supports my guess. You also have a personality of a young caring mother who knows how to take good care of children, which obviously shows in the posts and replies you've made about my questions about the real world stuff, graphics, the Second Life game, and other things.

As you can see, my age probably affected my first impression and perspective of you before you actually told me that you are around or at retirement age. I have not graduated college, yet my parents are not retired. I am fresh out of high school and turning 19 next month. I have not even got as far as both of your kids have got in life. It is in my future, yet to be determined.

Throwback Thursday?

This is one of the few pictures that survived the forum move.  Post-sculpty, pre-mesh. 

100930_002.png.430a782d82059eb5d873cd0cfa4058dc.png

Damselfly's Verona hair, LAQ's Tasha skin ... I do not remember who made the sweater dress and it is now long gone from inventory I'm sure.

   One benefit I might have of not doing a lot of inventory cleaning (or any, lol), other than deleting demos, is I'm pretty sure I can find really old stuff and recreate some of the looks I had. I think it might be kind of fun. I even still have a black hair call "Bun Fun".

These were the pictures giving me a hissy fit last night. I had something different planned but it was not working for me. I think these turned out ok though.

Napoleon: Two of the things that we learn as we grow older are tact and grace. One of the least tactful things one can do is assume a woman's age like you just did, and LittleMe will be very graceful indeed if she ignores your assumption..While I don't doubt that your heart was in the right place in trying to pay her a compliment, it would have been less of a backhanded compliment if you'd not included that part.

This is a thread for sharing pictures of our avatars. I suggest that - as LittleMe asked a few posts ago - we return to that theme.

That tattoo is brilliant, Clover :)

My second look for today is kinda neo-future. Finally making use of the unisex free hair that Tableau Vivant had out at SL14B (it's still free in their store) and this amazing mask from sYs. I may be living in this look for a while, since I bloody love it:

I am pretty sure it isn't your hand anyone is going to want to slap
