I never have milk on its own (with ice cubes woulkd be pretty much the same). I don't like it on its own. When I was at school every pupil got 1/3 pint bottle of milk during the morning break. I never had any because I didn't like it. Strangely (or not), I following in my brother's footsteps, and five years after he had held the position, was milk monitor in my primary school. The milk was always room temperature, which was ok in winter, because it had semi-frozen while on the milkman's vehicle. There was a bizarre class system even in our local council-run school. For sixpence (six old d pennies, you will remember, Phil), you could have a custard cream biscuit with your milk, or if your parents weren't so well off you could pay just two old pennies and have a rich tea biscuit with your milk, or the very poor kids (or parents who actually fed their kids breakfast and knew biscuits weren't that nutritious) got just the milk.

And various forms of milk. Don't forget that I thought milkproducts summerize that pretty well. I can't really join the topic...but it reminds me of the yoghurt I still have somewhere in the fridge. I'll go and check if I can still eat that. I believe, as long as they are stored in a refrigerator, yogurts will keep well after their use-by date. Just check the lid is not showing signs of 'blowing'. We had a 'pet' yogurt in a corner shop where I lived when I was younger. Each day we'd go in and check the state of it, because the shop owner wasn't known for being up to speed with his stock. One day we went in and it had blown - all over the fridge . :matte-motes-evil-invert:

They are widely used. I'm Yorkshire too but we never had a war between us. That civil war was between the house of York and the house of Lancaster - families fighting for the crown of England, not counties I spotted Dennis Tanner in Coronation Streeet the other day. How long has he been back? He was in it from the start (I remember it back then). When it was known that they were going to write him out of it, they got loads of mail asking them not to kill him off, so they didn't. Fair does about the War of the Roses. My dad was Yorkshire, my mother Lancashire, and so the standing 'joke' in our house was about it being like the War of the Roses. A lot of words on that Scouse list are not, you are right, unique to Liverpool, but I tested my brother, and he did not know what some of them meant. Dennis Tanner, what a coup that was. I'm no sure exactly how long he's been back, but long enough to become very close to, and marry Rita Littlewood/Fairclough/Sullivan. He's fitted well back into it. (Good job they didn't kill him off - nice the programme's writers/producers listened to the viewing public.) You may be a little bit older than me. All I remember about my earliest viewings of Coronation Street was Ena Sharples and her static breasts underneath that severe coat she always wore, and the hairnet (of course). I've seen the caramel version of condensed milk; dare not try it, it sounds such a very naughty treat. I do like that tinned thick sterilised cream (Nestle TM), and Carnation for tinned pears or peaches always takes me back to Sunday tea time, when we'd have it for our tea, with bread and butter.

Remembering how we had a little funeral for a baby bird that had fallen (or been tossed out) of its nest when I was about five years old. Teacher helped us dig a hole, we made a little lollypop stick grave marker for it. We sang All Things Bright and Beautiful and said a little prayer for it's poor little soul. Few days later, thing had been dug up, probably by a cat (or the garden-proud caretaker). We were soooo sad.

Charolotte Caxton wrote: I've heard of that show, don't think I've seen it, but I'll look it up Just go over to youtube and type in Coronation Street. Some nice kind people have uploaded the latest episodes. There used to be a character in it years ago called Bet Lynch. She used to call everyone "c0ck", which is the equivalent of "honey", "dear", "love", "duck", "mate", "pal".

Hotwax wrote: you obviously didnt read the whole warning I obviously didn't. And as someone who usually does read everything, I would imagine that most people won't take any notice of such a warning either. They might even be put off buying from that particular vendor, simply because they appear to be potentially slating other vendors. But they're not doing anything against any Terms of Service, just potentially making a right old prat of themselves. They're not being racist, or picking on a minority group, simply exercising their right to advertise in the way that they choose. They're not forcing anyone to buy from them, or really forcing anyone not to buy from anyone who is newer than them, or without a surname, or anything else. My knickers do not feel in a knot about this.

Welcome to Second Life Forums, Hotwax I can fully understand why a store owner on Marketplace or inworld would have warnings like this. When I was brand new in Second Life, there were posters up around malls to warn people about copybotted skins. Things also have been removed from inventories over the years, when they have been found to be copied items. But, you know, the warnings may not be as effective as the vendor would like them to be. How many times have people purchased in real life cut price alcohol, cigarettes, perfumes, clothing, that is very similar to an original creator's? People take chances. So, no, I don't think it is unfair of anyone to add such a warning to their Marketplace or inworld store. They are rightly proud of their creations, and hopefully the warning will make people look further into the reputation of that particular store before choosing to part with their Linden dollars.

Welcome to Second Life Answers, kally and Galeeta I can remember so very well when I first had this particular problem. It's frustrating, and the information given to fix it can often be confusing. Problems I had that definitely were the cause of the cloud/ruth avatar issue were intermittent disconnections or low bandwith from my internet service provider, who has been working to improve their service this year, and not enough RAM clear to run everything properly. This problem, for me, has not occurred since improvements were made, by my ISP and by myself, ie, I added more RAM to my computer. Now, I have already given you a lot of information, and I hope you both have been patient enough to read that, because if you want this issue to be fixed, you really do have to make the effort - it is NOT a problem that LL can just tweak and fix for you. It IS a problem that you can easily fix. I always have the link http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/bake_fail handy, and it is very important to note, that what will work on one occasion to fix the clouding/ruth issue, may not work the next time, but something will definitely work in that link. ***** And so to a fix for you, and some further advice. We are all possibly/probably on different viewers, but this is what you need to do: 1. Log into Second Life. 2. Using the menus at the top of your screen, Find the drop down that contains "Preferences". 3. In "Preferences", click on "Advanced" tab, and press the button "Clear Cache", then click "ok". 4. Log out. 5. Bring up the Second Life/viewer of your choice's screen up once again, log in, BUT change the start login location to Furball. This is a nice quiet empty waterland sim, completely free of lag. 6. When you are logged in, open your inventory window and wait. Look at the top of the inventory window, and you'll see that your inventory is 'fetching' or 'loading'. Let it do so. Do not do anything else for however long that takes. Be very patient. It can take up to 30 minutes. Walk away from the computer if necessary and make a hot drink. 7. Once your inventory is fully loaded, look at the menus at the top of your screen, click on "Develop", then halfway down "Avatar", across to "Character Tests", "Test (female or male)". At this point your avatar will be fully baked, but in the form of a basic version of a library avatar. Just now wear your favourite/usual skin, shape, hair, clothes, HUDs. (It is useful to create a separate folder to have all your favourite wearables in, so you can simply slide the whole folder across when this bake fail happens again). ***** This will work, if you are patient enough to read through carefully and follow the instructions. Good luck!

cigarettegirl wrote: Hello and thanks all for your comments. @Echo Hermit I'm all for social networking. The issue arises in privacy when it concerns a certain individual.. one you may have a friendship with or something more. Thats when it becomes crucial. I may get on second life and not feel like talking to a person but too lazy on explaining why or why not. Or just not wanting to hurt someone's feelings or spend time with someone else. I appreciate your feedback though. I guess I'll just have to learn to deal with it. Thanks again. Just another girl on SL It's all to your credit that you don't want to hurt another individual's feelings, but some people just are a little bit too needy, and you do have to consider your own feelings from time to time. And you will learn to deal with it over time.

As time goes on you will find that much bigger things in real life are just not fair either. :matte-motes-frown: Please read carefully all the responses you have already been given to your post/enquiry. Now you have the chance to make a whole new fresh start, and a few years down the line, you will realise how lucky you are that your account with it's lovely last name, still exists at all. A little bit of inventory stuff missing is nothing in the big scheme of things. And how lucky are you also that your mom was not the type to have you put into a juvenile detention centre for using her credit card without her permission? Very, I'd say.

I just re-read my post and realised the English of it was not good. :matte-motes-impatient: I meant to say, before you try other viewers, do just please teleport to another location and try again to view the group's details. Sometimes there are little glitches and quirks caused by the way a sim's server is set up. The sims are not all on the same type of server. Sometimes a teleport can nudge the servers into sending you the full information you are requesting. Sometimes you just need to relog for all to work as it should. And sometimes, because of some unexplained temporary quirk with compatibility issues between a viewer and SL, it may be necessary to use a different viewer.

Try teleporting to a different region and joining the group first. If this doesn't work, then relog. Second Life can be quirky at times. This just sounds like another temporary quirk. By all means also try another viewer if for now you are unable to view the group's details via Singularity.

I'm not very familiar with this type of game in Second Life, but over the next few days, you will surely receive more responses that will point you in the right direction.

I don't think it's a bug. I used to get repeatedly spammed by a shoe, of all things. It turned out, I had somehow managed to trap the shoe inside a rug at my home. If your friend is being spammed repeatedly when she is in a place where they can rezz, maybe this is what has happened. Or maybe they have managed to attach this to themselves, so they could try detaching all their attachments and seeing if that removes the spam.
