New head and requisite new skin. Need to get some make-up for the new skin, but pretty happy with the baseline. Have a second head, got the head the way I want but need to adjust the body of that shape. Lot of money and work, but fun project!

No, I don't think so either, but I'd rather believe I misinterpreted what he meant. I was having a meeting with my boss and my Manager once, and said something to my boss, so I was looking at him. I heard my Manager say, "You know, Carol, we are all unique, but with you it is easier to tell." I thought, "Wow, that's cool," then I looked around at her and from the look on her face I next thought, ""Oh. That wasn't a compliment."

You must be quite tasty, lol.

Thanks for the links! Funny, I am from Kentucky and they have a Mountain Laurel festival in eastern Ky every year, or at least used to. And pretty green rocks that are radioactive and emit radon. Nice.

Someone I work with often comments on something I tell him about my work with, "It is better to be lucky than good." I always wonder quite what he is saying about my work, and am afraid to ask, lol.

What is deadly about these two? They both look pretty, and pretty harmless, too. Although perhaps the bottom one might be a piece of Kryptonite, I suppose...

She probably won't tell you this herself, but she has an awesome Flickr gallery. I leave it to her to give you a link or not.

They look like water lice, lol. Sorry.

EEEEKS!!!!!!!! That's just not right, lol. Ugh, though I do have to admit it is slightly cute in some ways. 😑

Sounds like that evil Imposter Syndrome many of us women suffer from. I mean, you feel how you feel, but I really doubt this is going to happen. I would guess the people in your life know you pretty well and value you pretty accurately.

NO! I feel traumatized!!!!!! OHHH!!! OHHH!! The humanity!!!! (giggles)

In spite of the great start and middle, I really struggled with liking this post after the last paragraph, especially after I went to the links!!!! 😲

Love the pic! And funny comeback! Also, thank you for being so open and understanding. ❤️

Of course, for Republicans, that is a feature and not a bug, as McConnell says quite frequently, and as the ones in Michigan said when they crippled the incoming Democrats.

All the lives you touched, in your classroom and otherwise, have touched other lives and those lives touched yet other lives. Even though most of us do not have the broad, visible influence that the few famous people do, we do influence all existence, IMO. And really, if you look at the interpersonal/interbeing level, you probably have had a far more positive influence than many of the people whose work and ideas have shaped human society and history, because a lot of them were horrible parents, friends, or just human beings in general. In fact, a lot of times I avoid learning much about authors or artists I admire because of what I am afraid I will find (I only recently found that one of my favorite poets, Pablo Neruda, admitted to or even perhaps bragged in his memoirs about raping a hotel maid). FWIW

My RL sister is in the same situation. I wish you and your daughter the best, for what little good it will actually do. (huggzzzz)

To me, this is not possible. Though during my worst periods of depression and despair I am an existential nihilist, most naturally align with a Buddhist perspective.

You are Evil, EEEE-VILLLL, I say! I had not thought of silverfish in years (or cockroaches), and now here I am, with them running through my head!!!!!

I treasure the Guardian, read several posts from it a day, but to me what is being proposed here is dreamland, sort of like the Hamilton Electors back in 2016 in the US (sorry if that is too obscure!). OTOH, I am sure I know only a tiny bit about the Brexit situation and British politics in general compared with people who live there and are engaged (I imagine you have your low-information voters, too?), so hopefully I wrong about how hopeless the situation is and how relentless is the momentum toward the abyss.

That I will live longer than I want. But worries about the future of human society occupies most of my thoughts these days. Oh, and spiders and ticks (shivers). And snakes. (shivers some more)

My country and your Kingdom are both run by narcissistic sociopaths, sadly. I wish you the best, but don't have a lot of hope for the future, either.

Awesome! Thanks for the explanation, to me it *is* extremely interesting, and made me smile. I felt there was a really cool story there. I am glad you are able to more closely match your in-world representation with who you really are, I love that! (that is one of the things I love best about SL) OTOH, I am cringing that I was so intrusive, and apologize. 😶 (we sooo need a blush emoticon!!! why do we not have a blush emoticon???) Unfortunately, displaying personally intrusive curiosity about people (aka nosiness), especially ones I read as queer in some way, is one of my many faults. I have to fight IRL to not go up to strangers I see and go, "OMG, are you gay, too??? Yay for us being all out and living our true lives!" I am sorry, thinking of it now, I should have DMed you, or better yet let your changes speak for themselves. Sincerely and truly sorry and embarrassed, Caer

I still shudder when I think of a movie about people with sleep terrors that I saw a long time ago. (shivers)

Like someone else said, it would just free up time and money for other things. At one point I would have been devastated, as SL meant a lot to me and kept me going. Now, though, it is just something I like to do, but often keeps me from doing other more intellectually-engaging and growth-promoting things because it so easy to mess about in SL, and there are so many distractions (partially because doing anything in SL is tedious and takes forever, lol). So kind of a bad habit at this point, and having it get broken would not be a bad thing. I have tried some of the other options over the years, and none come close to what I want, so unless something new got launched, I would not move to another online world.

Those just seem like really different looks to me! I wondered if perhaps you had reinvented yourself (I have many times, so perhaps projecting). Sorry if I gave any offense, just seemed really interesting.
