  1. Take her dancing at Tempura, a warning, it can be tricky, the place you dance is over this long stone bridge away from the landing. It seems simple enough, you hit the landing walk straight over the bridge, up the stairs, (go right or left both ways end up in the same ball room) into the ballroom where there are dance balls, I have never found a crowd, if there are three other couples that is a lot, but the place could hold a hundred people probably it is huge. I used to take guys here as a kind of a test. See if they could actually make it to the ballroom, those to dense to get there were not worth my time. Most guys failed this test. I would get an IM from them asking to be TPed to me, I asked them where they were, they were clueless.

  2. The invisible parts are most likely caused by an alpha layer, which hides part of the body so it does not stick through an item of mesh clothing. Sometimes people forget to turn the alpha layer off when the remove the mesh clothing, and so you get an avi with big holes in it. Another store you might check out is Brii, I used to shop there all the time before I went to mesh, they had a lot of free and 1L specials. Most of what they have is for ladies, but they did have a few things for the guys which always seemed nice to me.

    Menswear makers often pack sets with corresponding size markings - that don't cooperate.

    Well we ladies can have this issue even if they do cooperate, because our own tops and bottoms might not match the same way as the clothing. I typically have to wear a top that is a size larger than the bottom.

    Do you ever wonder how some people can remember to breath without you there to tell them what to do?

    "Rhonda!  Help!  We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas."

    Yeah ... this just happened ...

    User: I forgot my password.
    Me: You'll need to call the help desk.  It happens a lot and only takes a moment to get back in.
    User: What's the number to the help desk?
    Me: 4357.  Just dial "HELP" from any company phone."
    -- two minutes later --
    User: What's the last 2 numbers?
    Me: "Excuse me?"
    User: HELP is 44335557 but' that's 2 numbers short?

    Me: -- in my head -- Are you trying to be stupid?  You little millennial @#*&, you never even had to do that on your phone!

    Am I getting old?  I have never been age prejudiced before ...

    At work once someone almost passed out from heat exhaustion, she just sat on the floor til someone found her. She was asked why she didn't call 911, and she said she didn't know the number.

  5. Why ask this question here? I have been banned several times (yes sweet little me) some of those times I had no clue why, I always contacted the sim owner and asked why. I then sent a very apologetic message and promised to always be good, and most times I got let back in. Remember you have no rights in this situation, arguing with a sim owner is not going to help. If you want back in, you need to be saying "I was wrong, you were right, I am so sorry" 

  6. Mesh is more complicated do not rush into that, especially not for a guy. Appliers are also known as layers, they conform to the shape of the body, and in effect are like painted on clothes. they are much easier to work with, and often much less expensive to buy. I am not sure I can be of much help to you though for recommending stores since I don't buy menswear. generally however in my experience most guys don't buy much of it either, typically they find an outfit they like and wear it all the time.

  7. I already have a partner who I know well, and anyone else who gets to spend time with me does so at his own risk, like I said the places I take people now really are not appropriate for that situation. There are lots of cool places though, kinda depends on the person, there are nice places to dance, nice beaches, amusement parks, even restaurants with a romantic atmosphere, it really all depends on what you and that other person are looking for. I thin the kind of place you meet at will go a long way in determining what sort of place you want to go to.

  8. What sort of clothing do you want? What body do you need them for? I am going to guess that since your name is Kurt, that you are a guy? Do you have a mesh avi or classic? Do you want applier clothes or mesh? Lots of different options that need to be known to steer you in the right direction.

    Or they are people who are renting....and haven't paid their rent so the landlord takes matters into their own hands ;)

    Every time I failed to pay my store rent I found all my stuff returned to my inventory, one time I went to the store to pay the rent and found a whole new store set up, I guess the landlord had someone who wanted to move in so he kicked me out the second the rent became overdue.

    Brings back memories. When I built my first house (of which I was of course oh so proud) I logged in to notice someone was having it off in my bedroom. I immediately went in there for a look. The guy had apparently had the presence of mind to TP out, the woman went out the window! Swear to God. I chased her (being too dumb to just cam, although I'd been taught that) and it turned out she was the (new) wife of my neighbor across the way. Dunno if he was the guy. I'd met him and his then wife, who was a complete sweetheart, when I first bought the property. Sometime in the years I was there he IM'd me: "It's you I want." Never happened, but it was interesting ;-).

    Good times.

    I was renting this house on the water, way to expensive for me but hey this is SL and you can splurge a little while here, paying week to week, so anyway I was standing on my deck, looking out over the water, there were islands with homes on them. One of the homes had a blimp on the roof, and i made me curious, so I flew over to it. The house was amazing, the guy had all these airplanes and tanks and things all over, It was like a museum. I am sitting there at his bar, in a tiny bikini, when he shows up and starts IMing me telling me this this is his house, I have to leave right now, I have no business being here. Now I have gone in a lot of houses, and I never got that kind of reaction. I TPed home, went back out on my deck and took a snapshot of myself looking at his house from my house, and sent it to him with the message that if he didn't want people popping in to look at his house maybe he should put a blimp on top of it. Suddenly he is much friendlier, telling me all about his blimp, how it actually flys and inviting me to come by some time in the future for a ride on it. It then dawned on me that when I was there in his house, scantily dressed, his partner was coming by to, and he didn't want to have to deal with her reaction to seeing me there. He was quite fine however with having me come by sometime she was gone. That meeting never happened though, soon after that I faced the reality of not making enough money to justify renting and 1000L a week house, and I moved. I never got back over for that blimp ride.

    Mine lays down and curls up in a fetal position when this happens.

  12. One thing I saw recently that I thought was genius. A demo of a shirt that had the name of the store on it. She had other shirts with various things written on them, but this one shirt was just 1L and had her store name on it, so you could see her quality and if you wanted just wear that shirt around, which of course would give her free advertising.

    After next weekend it will thin out a lot, thereby reducing a lot of lag.  Most people go in the first week.

    I have no idea at all what my schedule is like next week but hopefully I will have some opportunity to get over there.

    Make everyone adopt a premium account and when everyone in sl is paying their fair share reduce membership charges and tiers.... simple.

    Of course you can't make everyone do that, everyone will always have the option to just stop doing SL altogether, which means a lot of people who bring value to SL will leave, meaning that others who buy lindens because of that added value won't be buying them. Which will mean LL will need to generate that income some other way, like by increasing membership charges and tiers.
