Mesh? Your face seems to be a slightly different shape. Maybe just the skin. You're still cute, of course, but an adjusted cute.

Apparently it has been an entertaining day in the fast food industry.

Made a fool of myself in public today. Wanna hear the story? Of course you do. Went to Panda Express - yum! Got a fountain drink as usual. I don't use a lid or a straw in the dining room, I prefer to sip from the cup. This policy is currently under review. I had just touched my lips to the liquid in the cup when i was accosted by an attack-speed, unpredictable, unstoppable sneeze. The geyser was spectacular. Lifewater Yumberry Pomegranate is delicious but up the nose, on the eyeglasses, and all about the head & shoulders are sub-optimal routes of ingestion. It doesn't compliment teriyaki chicken on the plate, either. The ingestion of liquid nasally precipitated a coughing & sneezing concert worthy of Carnegie. Most of the other diners were polite enough to pretend not to notice except of course the smartphone zombies, who aren't really like conscious persons anyway. They didn't have to pretend, their wholesale apathy was sincere. I'm pretty sure I saw the wet shape of a staff member with one hand on the phone and another hand on the AED. Thanks you for listening, whoever you are out there. I can't see you very well.

Note to self: in the future consider adding quotation marks and dialog attribution to stolen memes

"Appropriate" is defined on a personal level.

I've had intruders at private moments, so I can understand why one would use banlines when at home. From there it is a short step to empathizing with someone who simply leaves them on, although I agree it seems silly in ways. I'm not fond of the idea of someone else usurping my animations. In that aspect the practical recognition that even if someone had a romp in the bed they're not going to leave stains is superceded by the emotional immersion factor. In addition the personal property issue matters to me. I don't like anyone telling me what to do on my land so I tend to treat others as I wish to be treated in the "live and let live" category. None of this causes me real stress, and most of it increases my empathy for people who don't think the same way I do and choose to have banlines. So in general I'm more forgiving of banliners than many forumites although I find banlines to be downright antisocial when the parcel adjoins the highway. One can keep intruders out of the bedroom without booting any unfortunate driver who has had an inescapable vehicle hiccup. A "stay out" attitude is fair. A "come buy my stuff" attitude is also fair, but my point is that to invite potential customers then not let 'em in is just freakin' dumb.

Pet peeve: When someone offers a mainland parcel for sale but leaves banlines up. I just landed in someone's home because their neighbor did this. I IMEd the homeower suggesting they have a conversation with banline-boy-next-door. Related: when someone builds a store but leaves banlines active on the parcel. Hows business this week? Obviously these are usually small volume inexperienced sellers. One of SL's major joys is that people who can not dabble in business or entertainment in RL can try their hand at it in SL. One of SL's major weirdities is that people who should never dabble in business or entertainment try their hand at it in SL.

That stuff is already sugarloaded out of the box. You are obviously an individual with a sweet ... ummm.. penchant. Fetish? Nah, I'll just go with "penchant" ( yeah , I do understand the "grain of salt" or "by the horns" word play... I did get it, really)

a blip in The Matrix.

... annnd I also propose a "Rioko's Reason" party. Maybe for the whole month of July *shrug*

I just remembered another of the enthralling Cartel ladies. Has anyone heard from Stormy Dyrsson? (unsure of spelling) My first danced with her one night and my social skills were horrendous. I should apologize.

Hey we have 10 year rezzday parties for ourselves, we should celebrate 10 years of The Thread.

Ummm *puzzled look* have a nice war ... errr... WEEKEND! Have a nice weekend. .

Reminds me of an old saw about the chemical element Administratium, the introduction of which halts all useful reactions and/or processes. ... something like that. If you haven't heard it I'm sure you can write it on your own.

What if I've been misunderstanding all this time and the sign saying "FORMAL" in the clothing store is in Español and those are clothes in which to do bad things?

I hope you ladies all know about a place called Felicity that has loads of gift shoes for group members. I think every shoe style has one color free to members, a demo and a group-gift draw combined. They are mostly stilettos. There are many for Slink feet but more than half are for "classic avatars" (*sigh*), with included prim feet, skin color HUD, and an alpha. Or is Felicity so yesterday now?

Please wait just a moment. To answer your question I need to put on my 'console and reassure' shoes w/matching wallet and belt. BRB.

*shouts* HONEYBEAR! SHOES! *points like a maniac*

When my car went careening out of control in busy interstate traffic I almost crashed into the Bloodmobile! It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Thats why the shouting.

They're shouting for Jesus Lopez - the guy who cleans the place.
