I hated the idea of mesh bodies for a long time. I still don't have a mesh head, and don't see the point of that. But I've bought and tried several different ones - Belleza, Tonic, Maitreya, and even though I had to spend money for the body, a skin, and appliers, I rarely bought clothes, and just hunted for freebies. My experience is that you can get by quite well on freebies if you have a Maitreya body, but that it can be hard to even buy clothes if you have the other bodies. Before you jump on me for saying that about Belleza, let me say that I had the Hourglass body. It's not an easy

About the whole retiring thing - I'm glad I saw the way my dad did it. This is how it went from my point of view: My dad and I were going somewhere, and ran into one of his ex-colleagues. We talked to the guy for a while and all the guy did was complain about how much he hated retirement. It really disturbed my father. So, Dad started looking ahead and thinking about the things he liked to do, and he started spending time doing those things. He rearranged the family budget so he could save more for retirement. Then he retired, and he was having fun and relaxing and hanging out w

That is one of the lowest sales tricks in the book, and has never led to a sale in any company I've worked at, and by Grabthar's Hammer, I swear it never will.

You can still find system (non-mesh) clothes that will fit any body EXCEPT mesh bodies. Although some of them will make you look dated, there are some quite nice ones. Also, mesh clothes were originally designed for the classic avatar, so if you see mesh or fitmesh clothes that don't mention any of the mesh bodies, then those clothes will work for you. I have been having some fun looking through The Sea Hole's outlet store on marketplace (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/76031) where (1) not only are the clothes quite nice, (2) there are almost 2000 items, (3) not even ONE o

Friends are coming over tonight -- really good friends -- but we might have to go out and meet them to wander around town together before dinner. Yeah, I love them like family and I'll be really happy once they're here, but I wish there was a way I could stay home alone until they come over. I honestly think I'd be a nicer person in RL if I could spend more time in SL.

The loss of last names. Display names are a sop. I've learned to live with them, but real names will always remain several orders of magnitude cooler.

The fingers and the pin really add a lot, @Madelaine McMasters.

There was a recent flurry on Twitter when someone posted a link to an article titled How To Talk To A Woman Who Is Wearing Headphones. A lot of replies pointed out that headphones are a do-not-disturb sign, and a follow-up article said that Even Women with Headphones May Want A Man To Chase Them. So, which is it? Are headphones a do-not-disturb sign? or a test for a man to overcome? The thing is, even one individual person (let's say it's me) -- one day I might put in my earbuds because I don't want to be accosted (and will respond with irritation), but later in the same day I w
