I think that's a flamingo. She will need a different approach 😚

For me, I was barely logging into SL, I would go a month+ at a time before April. I was an introverted hermit keeping everyone at arm's length. I didn't trust. I used ban lines to create a false sense of safety. I was still running scared from something that happened 12 years ago. Since April 16th, I have missed, I think 2-3 days? I adore the community that has grown in Bellisseria for the most part. I've gained friends and neighbors. I wander and explore. I say hello first sometimes and don't always retreat away. I've started building again, something I used to love to do. Idk, Beth, lol got room for someone that isn't into um.. everything but still loves the community and laughter and humor (and recipes!)

Now I recognize you! (sometimes I wish we could see the inworld names here, I don't always recognize people lol) /waves at her friend

Yep! Just click your about land and can change the name.

True, but only the house owner has expressed a dislike for the 4 red brick corners. So people taking pics or visitors may not see a problem with them at all. Decorate the yard first and then, after checking that you aren't making weird arrangements with them, derender and forgetaboutit

What about derendering them?

Some ideas I thought up on the fly:

Could make them part of some decor spots. Like the shrubbery idea mentioned for the front ones. In the back yard, maybe turn them into raised garden/flower beds (I think there are brick walls in the content pack), or maybe plant Hydrangeas or Lilac bushes, or cherry trees. Something that helps tone down the jarring contrast.

This reminded me of many years ago when I was a guide in a (then) popular MMORPG. We had the ability to move around and observe undetected. Quite humorous to catch a troll in the act when you suddenly revealed yourself and you are standing directly between them and their target.

damn Reading that I also see that Rip Torn passed away this week as well

I am so sorry that I crashed in the middle of our conversation! I saw you say something but by time my internet was back on, the message wasn't saved and I could not remember how to spell your name.

Would be like the Bog of Eternal Stench lol

/looks closely at the pic to see if Tommy has a bear

is C'Thun related to him? If so, then I need to remain very, very hidden because he's not going to like how many times I've killed his relative.

Staying landlocked it is then!

@CoffeeDujour & @Qie Niangao So I tried SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+U and was looking around myself to see what was out there. Then I TP'd home and panicked LOL /waits for things to rez in and settle down Ok, Whew. I did find a few offenders and removed them. Surprised that what I thought would be bright red, was actually not at all.

Once you're done with the legalese in the blog, this may help: Short version: if you do not carry a usd balance and ignore said usd balance for over a year, it will barely affect you except for the fact they're automatically making everyone these tilla accounts. The part I do not like at all is the fact our passwords will be the same for SL and Tilla.

We have a yapping beanie baby next door that taps all the time in a high pitched yap. We have about the same types of yards as Bellisseria and I can hear that stupid ankle biter when it is inside its house yapping and I am inside mine Unless I have the AC and TV going. If I could pull one thing from SL to RL it would be restrict sound to parcel. Thankfully our dogs are utterly oblivious to its noise.

Thank you! This was what I was looking for. I went from 100% sand to:

Beautiful post, Kyra. I'm glad that you chose to put it back up and not let a few nastygrams control you.

Oooh a snek?

That was my thought as well lol around here they're called tornado targets.

/looks at the topic of the post. Are you lost? Shoo troll.

Now I am imagining some really boringly named private estate/solo regions peppered across the grid. Each with a 256x256 prim up in the air textured with a replica of the ground below. Underneath, at ground level the Moles are working without the paparazzi knowing that they're even there. (eta... husband has a movie on right now and a scene where they tap into the surveillance camera and show the "empty hall, nothing to see here" image to fool the security guards was on. Hence the idea)

Neither am I for laughing so hard lol
