    You were there as much or more than many of the others. Hippiestock was never about the actual event. It was always about the greater community, primarily in the forum. You've been an integral part of that since before I arrived here. You belong in that picture as much as any of us. Still, I understand your thinking. Even more still, the offer will remain open.

    It might take us some time to connect in-world, but if you don an outfit that reminds you of that time, I'd be happy to photograph you in my booth and add you to the image.

    Well, that does sound like something worth inquiring after. During my college years, I'd get migraine auras, narrowing the vision in one eye. A few years ago I had a magnificent one, with a fat lightning bolt shaped region of my left eye sparkling like a cheap glitter kaliedoscope. I had both visual and general physical exams close ahead on my calendar, so waited for those. Both physicians found nothing to worry about. I'll hope the same for you.

    If you can conjure up your look from that time, I can still slip you into the picture.

    Silly anger is my favorite emotion.

    I've now won the trifecta of Apple Watch silliness. The first was being congratulated for achieving the day's exercise goal simply by walking out to my mailbox, leaving me stranded there (I hate exercise). Second have been the numerous "Time to Stand" alerts I get while driving. Last night I fell asleep on my sofa. At 2:21AM I got a tap on the wrist and a little "bing". I lifted my wrist to see... "You've reached your Stand goal, Madelaine. Nicely done."

    Are you happy now?

    When I was a kid, and appliance boxes were more interesting to me than the appliances within, I'd make sure that, whatever I made from the empty box, any "This Way Up" arrow was pointing down.

    I am absent in most of my extended family photos (many of which contain hundreds of people, peaking at over 400) for one simple reason. I was the photographer. Feel free to use the following photograph to "prove" you attended the first Hippiestock. You visited me at @Maryanne Solo's photobooth, where I took the shot that's been slipped into the image. That's how most of the people got into the picture, including Torley. You are reaching for Ags Falconer in the space between the left and center billboards. I clearly recall being captivated by whatever eyeballs you were wearing during that photoshoot.

    Agreed. As you know, I have never understood why LL hosts this forum in the first place. It made some sense back in the days when there was more focus on co-opting free resident energy to Answer questions, but they shifted away from that when switching to this new forum software. I can't see LL's dashboard, but I hope the changes they are making benefit SL overall, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do. As much as I might dislike where I imagine this goes, I think Dyna and Quartz are handling it very well, I appreciate it, I wish them luck and I'm so very glad I'm not them.

    llOwnerSay() takes only string variables. Your sun_height variable is a float. You change between variable types by "typecasting"... https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Typecast The string concatenation operator (+) must also go between strings, not inside them. You also don't want to place your variable name inside string quotes. llOwnerSay( ("Sun height is :" + (string) sun_height) should do the job.

    How else would the two of us share one bra?

    As someone who values living more than attractiveness, I find ways to be amused by my situations. I purchased a baseball hat with fake ponytail to keep my two moms from discovering my cancer treatment. Absent natural insulation in the dead of winter, I also purchased some silly hats from "Mental Gear". The bald kids at the cancer center lit up when I walked in, so I bought some for them. This was, I think, their favorite... You do feel like an alien when something forces you out of the norms, so I think it's apropo.

    I've no doubt that, during my puppet theater years, I created some version of a Babar that was terrifying. Many of my puppets eventually ate whatever (played by my parents) was annoying them. My first visit to a hair salon did not go well. I was maybe three at the time and Mom wanted something cute done with my hair. I've no recollection of the affair, but something went sideways and they had to wrap me tightly in a blanket to finish the job. For years thereafter, Mom or Dad were the only ones allowed to do my hair. I eventually learned to wrap it around tin cans to impart gentle swirls and for a short while payed almost as much attention to my hair as Scylla would like me to now.

    I was bald for a few months during the hard chemo phase of my breast cancer treatment. I was told at that time, by more than one person, that I have a "rockin' noggin". Though I've got my hair back (and going snow white) I find I like it quite short. It's so easy to maintain. My laziness can beat up my vanity. As Scylla quite accurately observes, I am a barbarian.

    Some are more fierce about it than you. I ain't going hair shopping with you, got it?

    I had this happen in RL, after playing Juror #10 in "Twelve Angry Jurors". Someone from the audience wondered how a bigot like me was ever allowed into the community theater. My answer didn't help.

    Liar! It seems that you, like me, love arguments that are absurd, through which you can make your "opponent" smile. The best is when you find someone who's self conscious and insecure and you get them to the point where they come after you, grinning.
  22. Madelaine McMasters
    That's my purpose.

    Don't you worry they'll claw up your furniture?

    You've reminded me of a family trip to NYC in 1983. We ate at two different delis over the course of that week and in both of them there were jars of pickles on the tables for people to gnosh. At both places there were half eaten pickles in the jars. So began my realization that customers are not necessarily only the end link in the supply chain.
