  1. ooooh, juxtaposition! Here's mine: The one who will not stop the car to talk on the phone while speeding in a school zone but comes to a complete and sudden stop blocking everyone's path in the middle of an intersection with the grocery cart to talk on that same phone while in a store.
  2. Nah, that isn't lazy. Let the reader do the calcs if they need them - its not your responsibility.
  3. OH ... and baby duck drivers are at their worst when: 1. I approach one steadily from behind, my chosen speed being slightly faster than theirs 2. I eventually come upon them and change lanes so that I can continue on, but 3. duckling subconsciously ( because this isn't about 'think' ) notices my vehicle alongside and matches my speed. Now I'M the one who appears to be clogging traffic.
  4. I don't mind if a driver accelerates gently from a traffic light, but what tees me off is drivers who go camping in the fast lane at something less than the legal limit and feel no social duty to merge right when they can. Worse: when they're slow in the left lane (like they're enjoying that slow truck so much they wanna cuddle with it) then when they eventually merge right they speed up. Grrrrrrr. I guess that second example goes under the heading of what I call 'baby duck drivers': drivers so incapable of independent thought that they can't choose how fast to go so they just match the speed of whatever they're staring at.
  5. .. and I totally agree. Getting an accidental view up into the void because of a furniture animation puts a real damper on the whole immersion thing.
  6. If *I* admitted I'd been camming up under peoples' clothing, y'all would say it was creepy. (Yes, I know what you mean. )
  7. and if mesh bodies ever get to the point where: 1. I can look like who I want to look like, rather than being able to look 'any way I want, as long as I wanna look like one of these 5 people ...' AND 2. I can once again buy any clothes I like without having to worry whether they're compatible - like it once was - then perhaps I'll reconsider whether I'm willing to spend in four digits separately for each of body, hands, feet, and head just to get what formerly came free upon login.
  8. SAY THAT, SISTAH! SAY THAT! Yah ... its like "Mesh bodies: because SL wasn't f*&^%g complicated enough already. " For men mesh clothing is just now getting improved to the point where it isn't godawful hideous - much - anymore. I understand it takes textures better, but thanks to mesh clothing SL menswear has gone from 'one size fits all' to 'no size fits anybody'. If I have to wear an alpha, it doesn't fit, period, non-negotiable.
  9. Looks like I'm the first one up and around for Monday morning. OK, breakfast is on me this time. We'll meet at IHOP, the big round booth in the back left corner. Anything you like, I got the cheque.
  10. Wise choice. We all know it would have been unwise to fall asleep sitting around at the Hangout.
  11. At the very least you'll feel a need to log in at the end of July to recover those big profits. I suppose that alone constitutes logging in more often.
  12. If you take the half-priced quarterly membership you can actually make a profit just by cashing in your stipend. Not MUCH of a profit .. but enough to tickle my simpelton mind.
  13. You can always try hand puppets and pantomime. Pantomime .. ? Or is that ... like ... to remove the trousers from one of those silent street performers in the white makeup?
  14. Land credits? Like the group needs a tier dontation - is that what you mean?
  15. Understood! I love to dress in finery inworld, but in meatspace I usually go out wearing gym shorts & a novelty tee year-round. Things are generally a tad on the informal side in Arizona.
