[My analysis on how LL's marketing of SL can be even better while simultaneously increasing its cultural relevance]

The iPhone client will only be text based though, right? No graphics?

Granted, but now that’s ALL you want to do so everything else in your life takes a back seat to the mighty mandolin.

I wish getting a new project rolling wasn’t so difficult.

I’m also more interested in ‘modern lodge’ decor.

It's a really neat experience when I show up.

Sometimes I miss dramatic teleport poofers. 😉

Of course if we use a mover to gently set people to the side at a landing point still others will complain about that too. There’s no pleasing everyone.

[Grant and corrupt a wish game]

Granted, but it causes a huge series of nightmare audits...and alas, it was a miscalculation after all.

I wish it would snow this week, I’m not ready for winter to end...but the first spring birds are already back.

Granted but they are also terrible gossips and so they tell anyone who will listen all of your embarrassing secrets. Maybe even making up a few lies about you!

I wish I had a chili dog.

And Patch made a teasing "maybe" comment about connecting to Mainland

This may or may not mean anything significant but on my iPad, when I tilt it in low light, I can see some difference in water color in interesting patterns to the west of Bellisseria on the map so I just assumed that shading kind of outlines the areas they will go with the Linden Home regions. It’s big. 😉

[Lindens to Reveal 5th Home Theme at Home & Garden Expo - 10am slt Friday Feb 28]

1. Grand View
2. Lincoln
3. Mountaineer
4. Overlook
    

I really like this theme even if none of them speak to me immediately. Grand View and Lincoln aren’t big on privacy with the huge windows and I’m sure that will influence some people’s choice.

[How are you feeling today?]

Thank you, @Madelaine McMasters, good to know! I only take it occasionally, and not exceeding the recommended dosage but you are absolutely right about being knowledgeable about your medications! A good reason to get better about my bedtime routine and maybe get the lavender essential oil diffuser I’ve been eyeing too. 👁👄👁

[If you could redesign the viewer...]

I don’t need any changes. We got a bigger 2nd monitor, then for the SL UI, I moved a lot of things to sit on the left and to open or pop up on the upper left. I turned off all toasts and sent most group notice pop-ups to the chat window, which I usually close unless I’m actively chatting or need to see local chat at an event. Most of my AO’s are built into firestorm. All of which leaves a nice big clear rectangle free of UI stuff on the right for framing my photos. 
 

I still need a simple singles dance HUD with invites and easy ability to switch dances, that’s pretty much it. 

[Jobs or ways to make money in Second life]

Faster to work in a RL job to pay the debt. Unless you buy and rent/sell land or deal in 3d goods and services, I’m not aware of many other SL jobs that pay anything like a RL wage, and even in these trades, competition is big. Admittedly I don’t know anything about the Adult jobs, but I’m assuming those require some particular skills (emoting, voice, cam, etc) and usually an initial investment in your avatar for mesh head/body/fashion, etc.

I’m assuming a minimum wage RL job pays more than *most* SL jobs. I’ve actually known a couple of seemingly ‘successful’ creators that went back to their RL jobs because SL ‘fame and fortune‘ at the height of their business didn’t consistently pay the equal to a RL mall store clerking job + health insurance. 

[Will we see a a new LH theme the 13th February?]

For me it’s 

1. Victorians
2. Houseboats
3. Traditionals
4. Campers/Trailers

If you are having trouble decorating a Victorian (but like them), do keep trying! I’ve lived in 4 RL and even though they are always more challenging, it’s a really satisfying house style to conquer with a mix of historical and modern pieces. I’m telling myself the same thing for when I do a houseboat, that will be completely new to me.

To be fair, though, that is pretty much how I felt during the later stages of pregnancy. I swear I had my own gravitational pull by that point. I didn't dare go too near the dockside in case someone tried to moor me.

There’s an avatar for that feeling too, if you were unfortunate to gain all over.

What is the best dipping sauce? What is the condiment you reach for constantly? What bottle is always in your fridge no matter what? Are there different favorites depending on the food? What is your opinion of ranch dressing?

This varies seasonally. Dipping, usually any ‘pan sauce’ that’s easy to whip up. I make fridge pickles in August or September, usually a hot mix veg variety so from about oct through spring we eat our way through those as a condiment or little side thing. I make Sakura sauce fairly often, there’s always Dijon mustard, rooster sauce, a tube of tomato paste, raw horseradish, pickled ginger, rice vinegar and Worcestershire in the fridge, fire roasted green chile in the freezer and a can of chipotle with adobo sauce and one of wasabi powder in the pantry. I really only like buttermilk ranch made at home with the little powder packet in summer occasionally, I’m a buttermilk bleue cheese gal when it comes to salad dressing, otherwise balsamic vinegar and olive oil with flavorful additions made in small quantities. Commercial bottled ranch and most dressings honestly have an unpleasant and gloopy texture to me. Exceptions are Skinnygirl dressings which I actually do really like and buy sometimes.

I make a pretty wicked wasabi mayo that goes really well with my recipe for any strong oily fish cooked in soy and ginger... 

Mmmm, so what time is dinner? Should I hunt down a bottle of Namazake? 
 

as far as Mexican/Southwest  chile, I favor the NM #20 for rellanos, fire roasted Big Jim as chopped chile and then smoked (chipotle morita in adobo with ancho and pasilla ) for lively red sauces. Thankfully getting Hatch green varieties shipped in and roasted is a thing now. I really crave it sometimes.

[How are you feeling today?]

@Beth Macbain before you jump to anything prescription, have you tried a simple over the counter conventional antihistamine? The oldschool ‘make you drowsy’ type like Benadryl.
