I agree with this 👆for sure! Even though there are now “some” new Premium homes available there’s not “enough” available ones for the number of Premium Residents who still have Old Premium Homes and Patch did promise that no one would get tossed out on the street… they will make sure there are “enough” of the New Premium Homes. I’m pretty sure there will need to be enough, plus a surplus to accommodate any new Premium Members they expect. I think once the amount is getting near “enough” then the Old Premium Homes will be Unavailable on the Dashboard for a while …and then perhaps there will be a communication to each Old Premium Homeowner with an invitation to take a New one at that time and then once those are moved… there will be a Notice of shutdown and give them a timeframe to move. Perhaps during that final phase, some of the best bits of Old Premium Homes will be preserved or rescued in some way because LL does know how important our History is to us and to new Residents as well. I’m sure they won’t just flick off the switch and poof them. LL does understand these have been Home to some people for 11 years! They are simply inefficient to operate as housing in comparison to the New Premium Homes. If these models are so important to their owners who have held on to them for many years perhaps LL will find a way to keep a few of these older models somehow or make an updated version of those models for the people who have loved them as their home for a long time. LL does care about things like that. They can’t keep everything for posterity, but I’m sure they aren’t ever going to toss people out into the grid, homeless with nowhere else to go 🏡

Maybe they could put a Mole Amusement Park in the middle... perhaps a Moley World? Hopefully MOLE-Y WORLD won't ever close for 2 weeks!

That was my favourite model of the Meadowbrook homes! It was the one I was living in with no furniture when I met Doc! He took pity on me and sent me a folder of items he had made or scripted, some he was selling on MP https://gyazo.com/8c1857e507c329a8551ee88a5bf9ec5f I still have it. It has grown considerably from the 50 or so items he sent me 5 years ago ;D

Palm Springs, Caifornia is an area full of beautiful Mid-Century Modern homes. If you Google Palm Springs Photos, you'll see them in full glory where so many have been lovingly maintained ♥ Walt Disney's former home ...

This was our family's car until I was 6 years old... Replaced by a good used 1968 model just like this one (even the same colour) in 1970... Among my parents friends were members of a jazz quartet and they would play in each others Recreation Rooms or Living Rooms... instrumental tunes like this... always in suit jackets and ties until ties were loosened and sleeves rolled up as the night wore on.. and things got a bit more extreme, trying to match Buddy Rich's impossible drum solo... Never managed to make it but ♩ 𝖶𝗈𝗐 ♩ wøw ♩ ωøW ♩ ฬ๏ฬ ♩ 🆆🅾🆆 ♩ 🅦🅞🅦 ♩ Ѡ❤Ѡ ♩ ...just watching them through the bannisters on the stairs as they try, was an adrenaline rush! ♥♪ I hope you can see why I'd plug into this as a Jestson-ite in HorizonsVille! WHooOOooOOoOoo! Cocktails for everyone! 🍸

Megan Draper is played by Canadian Actor Jessica Paré 💓🍁 @Patch Linden Thank goodness the LDPW & Moles are tree lovers because we'd sunburn to a crisp in about 3 minutes in those dystopian Scissorhands suburbs with out the gorgeous landscaping, hand placed with such care in the Traditional Theme.

... The Drivers of SL's Heaven in HorizonsVille... and my Jetsonite dream Recreation room in HorizonsVille... shiny terrazzo floors

Pretty please, Patch!! I want to be a Jetson-ite in HorizonsVillle! ♥♥

I think you are doing the right thing @Jammy Voxel ♥ Voicing your concerns so that they can be addressed is the most valuable thing you can do for those who follow you. I think many of the people I know in that sailing club are feeling the right things about this call out. I'm not a member of that Club, nor am I a member of the Fisher's Island Yacht Club because we did not feel welcomed when we were brand new to sailing and visited various of their yacht club locations inworld and asked questions of the members who appeared to be gathered in small groups for informal YC chats. We said hello to each person there and each new person who arrived after. We attempted to join conversation about Sailboats we owned and asked questions about the boats the others had. They were not welcoming, but terse and gave perfunctory answers if they did answer. If we asked a question no one knew the answer to, chat seemed to just die or perhaps they were engrossed in outside activities or other chats. We tried several locations and had a similar response in all of them so we moved on until we found a good fit for us ♥ ⛵ Perhaps a Welcome committee or a Welcome package of FAQs about their club or about Sailing or some Boat Reviews by members (to help new people choose the right boat or know which boat to ask questions about) so when people new to the Group or new to sailing can get a list of Welcoming Members they will know who they can IM if they need an answer that's not an FAQ or if someone new is just not comfortable chatting to or with unfamiliar people. Maybe you have a better idea and maybe you will implement it in the group where you find a good fit. No matter what, good things will come of this ♥ I have a good feeling about how important this kind of thing is going to be in every Group in SL inviting new members because there's so many new people who will join SL today and every day and I'd like them to enjoy every moment of their experience and tell others they know to join or come back to SL because it is FUN and help those new people find their groove here and make this virtual world an even better place that is worth spending a second lifetime exploring, adding to it, creating things and experiences for others and themselves, doing things they enjoy or working at jobs they love. There is nothing else like Second Life. We are so lucky to be part of it ♥

It was a wonderful time, but so is now ♥ In 50 years the children will feel the same about the 2020s. The things that are terrifying to you as an adult now will contain treasured memories for them because they spent more time with parents and got to do schoolwork in pajamas and learned how to make ice cream at home ♥ not mindful about how frightened their parents are about the world their children will inherit. Hopefully we will have shown them that no matter how hard life can be we can make it through. Keeping their world full of peace love and understanding, not fear and worry will empower them to forgive the mess we left them when we or our leaders didn't know better and worried more about an extra 5% profit than whether it cost us 500 years of fresh water in the future. Each of us can change that. One person can make a much bigger difference than they think they can with only support from their immediate surroundings. ♥ I have Reduced, Reused and Recycled my entire life, because my parents did and knew it was important even if they didn't know exactly why, they understood waste control and management from growing up on farms because there was no garbage pickup of any kind here for farms in the 1920s to 1960s ♥ Enjoy life and LOVE SL ♥ Planting a tree every week is a wonderful gift for the future 🌍

That is so interesting! @LibGwen I was born in 1964 in Canada in a small town settled by pioneers who immigrated from the British Isles and grew to a population of about 10k population by the time I was born and my mum and dad dressed in clothes like in @animats wonderful video. Our family car was an American Motors Rambler and there were (and still are) about 50 of these Mid-Century Modern style of houses built in a 1945 -1965 development along a river which skirted the town. They were stick-built (from scratch - no prefab cupboards, cabinets or built-ins so each has all these custom made) and used lots of fine-grained wood like mahogany for the cabinetry. Many had those fold-down cooking elements just like in the video 😻 My dad worked as a rough carpenter on many of them and proudly told us which year each was worked on, interesting stories about how the many trades took their turns plumbing, pulling electrical wire, Gyproc-ing (old brand name for drywall… which wasn’t totally trusted to be a proper finish for paint or wall paper so they also had plaster covering the drywall) painting, flooring, carpeting of such high quality that even today it looks like new. Sometimes the cabinet makers worked before the flooring and sometimes over it, depending on the General Contractor’s preference or the house plans, or what the architect designed. Then back to plumbing for the hardware (taps, tubs, showers, toilets, bidets) and the electrical fixtures and so on… like a ballet. They did love their jobs and many took lunch and coffee breaks together, still usually discussing the build progress. At community parties they greeted each other warmly, bragged and praised each other while they sipped the trendiest new cocktails, dressed up in suits with skinny neckties and gorgeous knee length dresses, kitten-height heels, layers of the latest body shaping lingerie, full make-up and hairstyles worthy of an episode of MadMen! We were excited to have a babysitter who heated TV dinners for us to eat on TV trays watching 1 of 2 channels we had on TV until they went off the air at 10 PM or Midnight. I’d watch my mum get dressed up like Harriet Nelson or someone from the Truman Show, Edward Scissorhands or Pleasantville 🥰😉 even if it was just for a Tupperware Party or a visit from the Avon Lady. Most cities and towns in North America probably have had similar residential developments containing the Mid Century Moderns but many went on to get makeovers in the years since they were first constructed. 🚗 🏡 ☕️🌼🦮💗💏💗 Innocent queries to my normally attentive parents or other adults like “why doesn’t Beth Bronstein have to go to church?” or “why do Miss Lee and Miss Finch never go out on dates with men and only with each other?” were glossed over or ignored, especially if asked in public. So I guess for me it was the best of times and it was the worst of times. It was a time when most mums didn’t works at jobs outside home but they could if they wanted to and they could be dentists or florists or gardeners but usually only until they had children and sometimes mums worked after their children were older or away at school or if their husbands died or “moved away” which sometimes meant divorced. 😲 The best of times were because everyone was helpful and polite, less rushed and everyone practised philanthropy and belonged to at least one kind of Service Club or Group to raise funds for worthy projects and causes. The worst of times because of those unanswered, ignored questions and the nervous or embarrassed glances the adults shot to each other when one of them was asked. It was like adults were involved in a conspiracy and agreed not to discuss some things… of course they did the same thing when I asked questions about Santa so I wasn’t too worried!

Thank you for this!!! @AlettaMondragon & @Alexa Linden WoOOoOOooooo HoOOooOoo!

Hmmm... the Evilness can even withstand the North Coastal climate and the sweet wailing bagpipes will mask the screams... I bet there's some MacDonalds in him, not the fast food ones!! https://www.ccsna.org/the-campbells-and-macdonalds There goes the Neighbourhood! 🤭

screams all girly :OO!

You can use the same-looking form for a Bug Report OR a Feature Request! ♥ Sign in with your SL login info ♥

Thank you very much for sharing this @animats ! I love the nostalgic 'epitome' of style and the focus on art as the ultimate goal. I can't help but wonder where are the LGBTTTQQIAA couples and why are they not sitting around the tables in those boardrooms and why is everyone a WASP? Oh yeah... There was no room for 'everyone' in those days and perhaps that's where things went awry 😞 Hugs EVERYONE and wishes for RL Region Restarts so there would have been a chance to include EVERYONE plus a little more peace love and understanding when the scripts and the code got corrupted. I LOVE Second Life ♥♥♥

That is a very sad experience for a new sailor in SL. There are wonderful people in that Group and in many others. Please don't give up on Leeward. Chances are it was just a few people in a bit of a selfish mood and we all have those from time to time 😉. We enjoy the Tradewinds Yacht Club a lot as it's not as 'do or die' and I'm not a competitive sailor. Tradewinds (TYC) usually has a Friday Cruise (not a race) and they send Notices with the route in a HUD and on a Notecard. My partner and I generally attend FAR's Friday Party on FAR's 'boat yay!' in Ness Region at the time the TYC Friday Cruise is running live but we do the routes at our leisure because they are generally easy enough for beginning Sailors. They do have a party with a DJ after. We did attend a few of those and had a good time. The other members were helpful and gave great advice and free boats from the Clubhouse! If you like a variety of adventures besides Sailing such as car cruises, short flights, themed adventures like our unforgettable Viking Longship rowing adventure raiding the Mole Made treasures in the Bingo Straits or a Pirate Tall Ships & Galleons circumnavigating Nautilus, please join us on Thursdays from 11:30 AM to 2 PM (ish). It's a Campbell Coast thing organized by @kitten Mills and @Uli Jansma of the Eulennest Group in Novatron Region (Eulennest means Owl's Nest so look for the Owl on World Map in Novatron) There is a Rez Zone there and lots of friendly help by some of the best sailors in SL. Also there is the Boat Parade in Bellisseria departing the Docks in Whiskey Bay Region adjacent to Bellisseria Fairgrounds Region every day at 4 PM SLT except on Sundays when it's Hot Air Balloon parade day at 4 PM SLT. You can contact @Camden McAndrews or @Crystal Edelmann for LMs of the departure place(s). I'm not sure where the Hot Air Balloon trip departs. Don't give up on Leeward for a couple of less than warm welcomes. Once you practice a little more you may enjoy the competitions and races! ⛵ On, Sail On, Sailor ♫ ♥♥

I second that ! Please connect the road !!!! Please, please, please connect this Road so we can drive to Bellissera! Exploring our vast contiguous Mainland is why I'm here and its important for many others who enjoy an immersive travel experience and a realistic way to commute over the Mainland. This is an important issue with a rare and timely opportunity to complete the road now. I will make cookies for anyone who will help and I hate to cook and bake so they will probably be crappy but it IS that important. Many thanks to Aletta for her diligence in traveling our Roads to ensure they are kept passable and not obstructed and discovering this RARE opportunity to JOIN up the Protected Roadway!!

It's called Meadowbrook and was the most popular theme of the old Linden Premium Homes ♥ I think I do understand what you mean about that feeling. A sort of utilitarian dwelling, erected very close together but with a good amount of privacy. Maybe they remind me of military housing. They are nice inside and out, but not as beautiful as the new Premium Linden Homes ♥ To me, Mid-Century Modern is a "Living the American Dream" home ...when America was the envy of the world. Every aspect of an ideal "Better Homes and Gardens" lifestyle, achievable by every American who worked at jobs they loved and the future was embraced as full of infinite achievements which everyone had a fair chance of accomplishing. Everyone wanted to be part of that and its too bad things got in the way. I'd pick this to be the "Matrix" I plugged into! 🥰 🕊️

I was very happily surprised that Boxy got that right and actually asked Do you Want a Mainland Region Restart… either he’s trying to get on my good side or he has learned something from our previous conversations? 😉🥰

Hopefully soon 🌎 only a few more hours to wait 🌼

Have you tried filing a Support Ticket using the Boxy Bot? same thing happened on Saturday evening in Emyniad Region and the Region was back online within an hour. 🗺 🍁

I can hardly wait to see it @Vixtee ! Yukiko has great taste and wonderful tours! ❄️ 🗺️Winter is coming faster than I want! ;D

That's good to know ChinRey ♥ It was a very disheartening experience when we visited there about a year ago when MP was soooo broken here. On the bright side Doc had made a TV and put it on the Kitely MP and he had a nice little nestegg of sales built up in about 5 or 6 years of sales, but at that time I don't think he could cashout into RL money. I wonder if they will use Tilia?

Kitely has an MP which is not too bad. Idk if it’s currency can be cashed out into RL income. It’s the nicest of the OSGrids in my opinion but it has no contiguous Mainland and the highest number of users online I ever saw there was about 100. It was very upsetting to see so much of the SL content was available in the other grids for free with pathetic makeshift HUDs. At first I thought the OSGrid connected worlds must be a testing grid for SL products as I had read somewhere until my partner pointed out that it was more likely copybotted items ripped off from SL and shared there and I felt so dismayed I can’t make myself go back there. It felt like some post apocalyptic Mad Max version of SL. 😢
