Persephone Emerald Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Granted, but a landslide causes the earth to fall away under it, and now your family room, kitchen, back deck and pool hang out over the cliff.

Rat Luv Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 6 hours ago, Garnet Psaltery said: I wish I understood PBR. Granted! Pabst Blue Ribbon, commonly abbreviated PBR, is an American lager beer sold by Pabst Brewing Company, established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1844 and currently based in San Antonio. Originally called Best Select, and then Pabst Select, the current name comes from the blue ribbons tied around the bottle’s neck between 1882 and 1916. Gottlieb and Frederika Pabst and their twelve-year-old son Frederick arrived in the United States in 1848 and settled in Chicago where Frederick eventually found work on the ships of Lake Michigan. In 1862, Frederick married Maria Best, daughter of Philip Best, whose father Jacob Best founded the Best Brewing Company, and in 1863 Frederick became a brewer at his father-in-law's brewery. When Philip Best retired to Germany in 1867, Pabst and Emil Schandein – his sister-in-law's husband and the vice-president of Best Brewery – worked to transform the company into one of the nation's largest brewers, capitalizing on, among other things, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that destroyed nineteen Chicago breweries and helped position Milwaukee as the leading beer-producing city in the United States.In 1889, Schandein died, leaving Pabst as president and his widow, Lisette Schandein, as vice-president. In 1890, Pabst changed the "Best" letterhead to "Pabst" and the Pabst Brewing Company officially began. Sales of Pabst peaked at 18 million barrels in 1977. In 1980 it was still third in sales in the U.S. Between 1980 and 1981 the company had four different CEOs, and by 1982 it slipped to fifth. In 1996, Pabst headquarters left Milwaukee,and the company ended beer production at its main complex there. By 2001, the brand's sales were below a million barrels. In 2010, food industry executive C. Dean Metropoulos bought the company for a reported $250 million. In 2011, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission forced two advertising executives to cease efforts to raise $300 million to buy the Pabst Brewing Company. The two had raised over $200 million by crowdsourcing, collecting pledges via their website, Facebook, and Twitter. In 2015, Pabst won the "best large brewing company of the year" award at the Great American Beer Festival. Pabst Blue Ribbon is now available in several international markets, including Australia (where it is brewed locally), Canada, Ukraine, Russia, Dominican Republic, Brazil and China.

But it occasionally glitches and you wind up naked and floating a few feet off the surface of the planet you've arrived on and the store/civilization you thought would be there has moved, and there's only a For Rent sign there now. I wish I had a better grasp of SL scripting. Edited April 7 by Katherine Heartsong 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Granted, but you soon wish you hadn't wished it because you find too many people, who don't read your instructions, asking you for help because they can't get your stuff to work, and you spend half your days dealing with them.

I'll take a crack at this one! You're a better person, so now you look down on everyone else, and thus you are no longer a better person. I wish that I could get started making music. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
