K-Mae going out of business

[Shaharazad Humphreys]

K-Mae parents were notified a few weeks ago that unfortunately the owner will be closing the business due to financial issues. I believe this means that all K-Mae animesh babies will stop working once their server goes down. There was no exact date given for the closing, but it seems like it will be soon.

Although they lacked in the accessories department, I really liked the obvious love and detail that went into the design of K-Mae's kids and they weren't exorbitantly priced. What are the best replacement options currently out there?

Zooby seems to be the most popular.

And yes if you want something that stays for a while take a Zooby one, I don't have a pixel baby, but they seem to be in business forever and I see quite some things like furniture in events and weekend sales 🥰

Were it closer to Halloween, it would seem more normal to carry a "dead baby" around declaring to all, "my baby is dead"!

I hope you find a new baby to your liking.

   Can't remember where it's from, but that reminds me of a short ghost story that I quite like .. Which I can't seem to find on Google, so ..

   An English gentleman was taking the train from London to Manchester, and looked forward hopefully to a nice and quiet journey. Alas, when he found his compartment aboard the train, he saw that he was seated across from a well-dressed lady with a bundle in her arms. He gave her a polite nod and muttered a greeting before taking his seat, and noted that the woman had made no sign of acknowledging his presence. He took out his newspaper and started to read it. Throughout the journey he noted that the child cradled in the woman's arms didn't make a sound, but that she on occasion appeared to be sobbing; finally he asked her if everything was all right - but she again made no sign of acknowledging his presence. As time went on, he began to feel frustrated and uneasy, he asked her again, and again there was no reply, so he reached over towards her; as his fingers reached the bundle on her lap things happened very quickly, for an instant, as the cloth of the bundle fell down, he saw a human head, and the woman let out a shrill screech and vanished along with the bundle right before his eyes. Shocked, he stumbled out into the corridor of the train where the conductor saw him, pale and terrified - he asked if everything was in order, and the gentleman explained what he had seen, to the increasing dismay of the conductor. The conductor explained that, years ago, a couple had occupied the compartment as they were going on their honeymoon, the man had opened the window and leaned out too far, and a train coming the other way had struck his head clean off. By the time the staff arrived to the compartment, his widowed wife was cradling his head in her arms, maddened with grief, and she had never been heard from since.

   .. Well there's the gist of it. 

   That, in turn, reminds me of a joke ..

   A Norwegian was travelling by train, and as he felt peckish he left his compartment and made his way to the bistro. After having something to eat and drink, he found himself unable to remember where he was seated, so he asked the conductor for help.
   'Do you remember which carriage you were in?', the conductor asked.
   'No, but I remember that there was a lake outside of the window.'

   ... Sooo. Prim babies. Gone. Oh well. Ahem. Too bad, but, Zoobies. *Nodnods*

Surely the head wouldn't have ended up in the arms of his widowed wife in the carriage, but more likely rolling down the track until found by some bloke from Stoke-on-Trent who was trespassing on the railway out walking his dog.

   .. Unless it was in a railroad T-crossing!

What did we learn today?

Never buy anything that depends on an external server to run. It never lasts. I've seen lots of things come and go/break in SL that depend on an external server/service.
