Okay, I've got the horsie, and I've bought a skin applier. Why won't it work? I wear it, after a few seconds it detaches itself, but the skin isn't applying to the horse. What am I doing wrong?

I saw you there shopping when I went to have a look! I'm afraid there is no way I can resist having a herd of them running around my land. The freaking herd video did me in.

I'm not sure I can. She gives me cute aggression.

... scritches you under the chin before patting your head ... Who's the cutest scawwy widdle demon? That's right... Maddy is the cutest scawwy widdle demon! What a good little demon you are!

Thank you, and please do! I don't have a kitchen yet, but as soon as I do, I'll certainly invite you in for a cup of coffee!

Love those pics! And Fourze really is pretty special, isn't it? I won't be giving up my boat, even though it sits empty for the moment. I have a shiny new toy to play with right now, and I'm already thinking of new ideas for decorating the boat when I'm ready. Thank you for pointing out all the beautiful things about this spot! I'm so happy I didn't let it go!

I just purchased land on Heterocera yesterday and the areas around me are pretty gorgeous. Everything seems very lived in and up to date. I had a very bland impression of mainland until I really started exploring, and now I've fallen in love with it. And yes, I have two Linden Homes as well. It's my belief that the popularity of the new Linden Homes has reignited interest in mainland.

"Rich peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chunks, pretzels,and coconut" I'm going to have to hide them from myself. Like that ever works.

That's creepy... how did you know I'm sitting here right now shoving cookies in my face? Kitchen Sink Cookies from Aldi... OMG...

Thank you! I know I don't need to be spending the extra money, but... It's just money, right? Who needs food?!

I bought some mainland yesterday and decided to give up my amazing houseboat in Fourze under the lighthouse. I'm rarely there anymore, and I have a trailer as well that I love. I emptied it out, packed everything up... and just couldn't do it. My finger was hovering over the abandon land button for the longest time. I have no reason to keep the houseboat. I'm not going to use it, or at least not very often. It's empty now and I'm not inclined to go put at the stuff back right now. But I cannot let it go. Sentimental reasons, I suppose. I got it in the first hour of the very first release. The location and positioning of it simply could not be more perfect. I discovered the magnificence that is @Quartz Mole when he came to remove the wayward script stuck in my walls. I should offer it up to some homeless person to squat in for a while so at least someone will be enjoying it. Boaty McBoatface lives on.

I first took the Myers-Briggs test in college. I didn't think too much about it other than being told I was in the rarest of the rare category - and that the guy I was crushing hard on, and who was sitting next to me doodling on my shoe, was the opposite and we'd probably kill each other if we were a couple. We never hooked up. He was freaking hot, though. Anyway, I've taken it a few times over the years, about once a decade, just to see if I've changed or if that first rarest of the rare was a fluke. It wasn't, and since I started thinking about who and what I am, it's completely me - the INFJ. It's almost scary how accurate it is. And as special and rare as I thought I was, I have met dozens and dozens of INFJs in Second Life. I think SL draws us introverts. It's perfect for us. We can be as sociable as we want, or not be sociable at all. When we need to recharge, we can go to our own little corners of the grid, or we can literally unplug it and make it disappear. There's a long story I won't go into about how I accepted and embraced being an introvert, but it has to do with refusing to capitulate to someone who believed that introverts are broken human beings. Since I walked away from that black cloud, I've worn my introversion as a badge.I won't hesitate to tell people that I need to go be alone for a while. I like myself. I love my own company. I don't bore myself. Being an introvert is freaking awesome.

I'm certain I have no idea.

That may be your experience, but it’s not mine. The Lindens I know are residents as well. Not necessarily under their work account, but why would they want to do that during their off hours? I’m

It seems I wrote a post and forgot to hit the submit button at some point... I wonder if a person's preference has anything to do with introversion/extroversion? I'm honestly just not all that comfortable talking in local chat unless I'm with people I'm really comfortable with.

Since I don't own a TV, I never get to see commercials but now I have to go looking for it! I used to get terribly uncomfortable watching TV with my dad and seeing all the Viagra and Cialis commercials. Even when you're a grown adult, somethings are just uncomfortable to see with your folks.

Er... how do I derender this thread now?!

K. ... We still need to talk about those toes, tho.

K. ... can we talk about those toes, tho?

Awww... where'd you get that cute little video of @Abnor Mole? And yes, I know it's different but I'm reminded of Marvin every time I see him...

This is only if you truly aren't sure if something crosses the line from erotic to pornographic. It's a thin line and it will be viewed differently by different people.

As a person who is aging, as well all are, I would literally rather curl up and die than be forced to watch a nanosecond of Fox News. Death would be much less painful. That's hyperbole for the people who don't like me and want to try and pick apart my words... I think maybe what I was trying to suggest is that a platform like SL is maybe a natural progression for people as they age. Yes, SL has to capture that demographic, and it's certainly not the entire demographic... and maybe it's all wrong anyway because in the grand scheme of thing this is really new territory. We're talking about people who did not grow up with computers, and how those people are aging and responding to things, versus people who've never known a world without computers, and how those young whipper-snappers are going to age and respond to things. It's really sort of uncharted territory.

I know I'm going to regret this but... I don't have one of the traditional homes so I have no idea what any wall looks. But let's say I do have one. And I want to put some very tasteful, in my opinion, nude artwork on my walls, and I want to be able to enjoy it, not hide it away in a back room. It's allowed according to the covenant and the adult content policy. I also don't want to waste my LI by putting up some shrubbery to block someone's view of my parcel. You're saying that I should either hide my artwork in my own home on my own parcel that is perfectly allowable on the off chance that someone might be offended by a boob, rather than expecting the person who is offended by the boob to just derender the boob? Which one takes the least amount of effort and doesn't impact anyone's enjoyment (or LI) of their own home?

I'll be putting out a bowl of very special treats. Adults only - don't send your kids to my boat or trailer. 🎃🎃🎃

YES! I hate gestures with the white hot energy of a billion fiery suns and they should be abolished. For some it's facelights, for some it's full-bright, for me it's gestures. They make me stabby. They ruin live music events, the ruin DJ music events, they ruin conversation, they ruin everything they touch.
