But news media around the world have started reporting about it. The evidence is from US Airforce pilots who are a fairly reliable non-conspiratorial group of people. They have a lot of recent footage too. It’s probably the highest amount of serious talk about UFOs that has ever happened. I’m not a UFO nut and I can’t blow off the information as crazy talk any longer.
My dad, who was a thoughtfuI and reasonabIe man, worked for the Canadian Air Force aII of his Iife. He said that over the years, he knew severaI jet piIots had seen things that they couId not expIain. This was back in the 60's and 70's.

This old person was wondering the same thing. ;-)

I once asked her to tell me if she ever gets bored with them, since I have a tendency to be long winded, or to have the "old man in a row boat with one oar" syndrome (wandering around though eventually getting to port). She said that would never happen, because no one has ever taken the time to do something like that, and she loves each one of them. The notes sometimes are full of this and that, ramblings of the day and whatnot, or but can be short, depending on the day itself, in the either case it's just my way of letting her know I was thinking about her, and always make that know that I was. Even when my net's been down, I've sat here at my pc waiting for it to come up and written her on text file then as soon as I could log on, copied it to an NC and sent it her way. To date I think she has close to 2K of them, but again she loves to get them, and I always want her to know whether we've been on for hours or don't get to see each other that day, I was thinking about her. 🙂
How charming is THAT? She can see that she is foremost in your thoughts when she receives your notes. The fact that you share ramblings, not just romantic or naughty thoughts is really lovely. Does she reciprocate with notes as well, at least sometimes? I remember reading that Ronald Reagan wrote letters to his wife Nancy nearly everyday or sent her little silly doodles. They remained in love until the end. There is something to that, I think.
Wishing you both all the very best. 🙂-

Okay... now for results on pictures.
Top: backdrop
Bottom: a sim (yes I do have the SURL if anyone wants me to share it); I had DoF in world on.
Proves, you can never really always tell with a picture and Doc, my rental had palm trees round it till I asked the land owner to remove them.
At first I was going to say that the bottom one was a backdrop, but then I noticed the rocks on the right side of the bottom photo, and that told me that a backdrop wouldn't have had such angular 'sl' looking rocks. The shore is also a bit angular in spots. I had to really look at the photos to notice any sort of difference, though.

It looks like they used a 'bloom' effect which makes all the light areas of the skin glow similar to what Stephanie mentioned but it's an automatic effect that can be applied in some art programs. I don't recall if Photoshop has it. They might have also done some blur and sharpening.
Yes, I agree that 'bloom' is used here. You don't mention which photo-editing program you use. For those of us who do not have PS, but use free online photo-editing programs such as pixlr, there is an effect called 'orton' which can achieve a somewhat similar effect. You play with the slider to get the desired look. Under 'touch--up's' or 'make-up tools', it looks like the photographer added highlights to the skin. Personally, if you have seen a lot of this style of photo-editing in flickr, why not just shot a flickrmail message to one of the photographers and ask them if they could direct you to an instructive video, or tell you the editing program that they use, etc. I think that most people are pretty helpful.
While it's good to ask people how they achieve a certain 'look' to their photographs to learn, we should all try to develop our own identifiable style. I can just look at some flickr photos and recognize who took the photo by their unique style. -

I don't think anything is wrong with it, but they must.. So since it happened not too long ago, I'll probably just upload to the next rating up from whatever got this one restricted..
That's about all I can do really..
I've been posting in flickr on and off since 2012. I've never had one issue with how I rate my photos. I try my best to follow their rules. When I'm not sure which safety level to post it at, I choose a more stricter level.
One thing that I do, when I am looking through new posts taken by people I am following and see a very sexual post, I check to see which safety rating they have posted it at. Sometimes people forget to change the safety level. If the photo is posted as 'safe', I then send them a friendly message just telling them that I've had friends banned for not choosing the correct safety level and that they might want to chose another level. I always get a message back thanking me for letting them know. It's often a simple case of forgetting. -
One place that I have loved to ride with a friend is called "Mother Road". It's just such a great 'route 66' sort of place with GREAT light and details. Love it. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mishiland/65/210/75

Thank you so much for your help
yes I know it’s not wise to put email in. I wasn’t sure how I can be notified and I wanted all options. You both have helped a lot and I appreciate it. I don’t log on sl as much as i’d Like unfortunately and it’s not like him to not contact me to let me know if he was sick or something else.
thank you again
Hi there. I was just wondering if you ever heard from him again? Probably most of us have had the same experience, and so we know how it hurts to not know what has happened. How hard is it to send someone a notecard in sl before you take a break or leave? With covid, it's been particularly concerning to suddenly not hear from someone. Hope that you are doing well and have found a good new friend or two.

Strawberry Singh who used to blog in SL but now works for Linden Lab, posted this interview back in Aug. 2020 with Philip Rosedale. It's a really interesting interview! A bit long, but I thought that it was great. 🙂

One of my favorite places to hang out was Humanoid. I just loved this place. This photo was taken in 2013 with my then bf. It was just one of those peaceful, quiet times chatting about whatever, but enjoying the moment. We have always remained friends ever since, and I'm now friends with his current partner. I had encouraged him to try photography back then, and he is now into it than I am!

I've lost touch with all in world friends. It seems as if nobody is really active inworld anymore. I don't really know where to even start again. I had to contact LL to even get my password because I don't remember which email I'd even used to create my account. I just logged in wearing a dress from Blueberry and hair from Truth.. or Magika.. and I feel like I'm so out of touch. I figured with the pandemic SL would be booming. Was I wrong? I'd really like to be able to jump back in and find enjoyment out of it again. I'm in the US, and they're not taking things seriously here. I've been working from home for a year and it's getting so ridiculously boring avoiding going out anywhere. I was hoping this could be an escape for me like it once was.
By you mentioning 'find enjoyment out of it (sl)', what exactly gave you enjoyment before? Socializing and hanging out with friends? Shopping? Enjoying music venues and exploring? Romance? More people logged into sl, in my opinion in the first lock-downs.
If you had favorite hangouts before, are they still around? Generally, people tend to find a few favorite places to hang out at regularly, and meet others there.

listening without tipping: yea or nay?
in General Discussion Forum

I'm a blues fan. I appreciate DJ's who have knowledge about the musicians or a story about the tune, etc., to share with us. Certain DJ'S were so interesting and fun that they would MAKE me want to remember to come to their sets on certain nights! The DJ's who feel that simply 'greeting' you as soon as you land outside of the club, and playing tunes one after another with nothing interesting to say, I simply don't feel inspired to tip.
One thing that I honestly find irritating and WILL make me leave a club, is when the 'hosts' constantly remind or badger you to tip the venue and the performer, and then the performer reminds you to tip the 'amazing' host, who has basically just been saying hi to people and bugging us to tip.
My answer to the posted question is no, I don't feel it is wrong to not tip occasionally. Tip when you have enjoyed the music, the banter, etc. Tip what is affordable to you.
