I saw 5 pages worth of discussions on accents and I knew that I couldn't possible read it all comfortably so I snarked and shut down my computer. I'd send you a virtual hug too, but maybe a cookies would be better if you're dealing with shingles. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize a short, skimpy dress is easier to rig than one that ends just above the knees, but even in SL I'm not going to wear a "dress" that would show my panties. I have quite a few "dresses" in my Tops folder. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Vortex Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 300L is too expensive for clothing textured from the Linden Library. Why did I gamble on something with no demos? I needed a particular style to fit the Tweenster body and no other store has anything similar. You'd think I'd learn by now. 🤦♂️ Don't make the same mistake I did. Remember kids: No demo, no buy. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a peeve (on the contrary), but I just received a nice, civil, and quite long in-world message from a certain creator. I still have questions about his product(s), but it actually is nice to connect, even in an argument, with someone who listens, and doesn't take criticism personally. He seems very likable. And in that sense, Love, yes . . . successfully concluded. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be so presumptuous as to publish something he wrote to me in-world on the forums without his permission. In fact, that would be a violation of the ToS.

Just cuz I love it. Now, I need someone to make a model of my Dobro, so I can buy that too. And not play it in SL. (Yes, you're welcome.) Somehow, I never pictured you as the Dobro sort. Yes, there is one in my house. Also, a Strat and a Tele. 😇 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's really hilarious is that it's an Hawaiian guitar, with painted palm trees and an Hawaiian dancer on the back. DEFINITELY not my style, but it was a Xmas present from long ago, and my partner, who bought it for me, didn't want to wait for a custom order to be brought in. I just use it for open tuning songs, and of course slide. Pretty much exclusively old country-style blues, in other words. I am jealous that you have a Tele! Although were I ever to get another electric, it would be a Gibson, I think. Although I don't have huge hands, and their fretboards seem uncomfortably wide sometimes, that would be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To wit: English-speaking residents of the UK may find it humorous if English-speaking residents of the US avoid using the word "toilet", but English-speaking residents of the UK also use terms such as "loo", "bog", and "WC". Secondary Peeve: When you discuss a Peeve for pages but can't convince the Peever to respond to your original and first "best point"! Terniary Peeve: Letting people be "right", which is good for karma. Between the toilets, terlits, commodes, johns, loocows, WCs, bog rolling, and what not, I am completely and utterly lost. . . . . .

LittleMe Jewell Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 A few weeks ago there was a thread that touched a bit on displays at shopping events where gifts are given, and how some merchants intentionally try to deceive shoppers and intentionally take advantage of some folks rushing a bit when things are not fully rezzed. I came upon this display today and initially I did mistake what the "gift" was. It is NOT anything actually related to that Happy Birthday display, but rather the yellow dress down in the lower left. I could see how someone moving too quickly and not carefully reading the $ amount shown on the Buy window might accidentally buy the product rather than the gift. Accidentally buying that product will set you back L$400. I really do not like merchants that do this sort of thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
