    Nah, for your own peace of mind, don't take it that way. Assume that (1) You are a fascinating person (2) You have encountered a stranger who recognizes how fascinating you are but has practically no imagination. (3) That person has paid you a great compliment by copying the things that she liked about you in a desperate attempt to be just as fascinating. None of that may be true, but the person has really done you no harm. Just accept it as a weird compliment and move on.

    And of course "Salty Dawg" in this particular case is almost surely a play on words. A sailor has often been called a "salt" or a "sea dog", and the convenient coincidence of the Appalachian tune that combines both names was probably too great to resist.

    default { state_entry() { llStopSound(); // That should stop the looped sound llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName()); // That should delete this script } } Not tested in world, but should do the job.

    It all depends on how complicated the breedable is. As far as I know, the client was still tinkering with the one I worked on when he left SL several years ago, and I never saw it marketed. Many things that made it difficult then have changed (and some have become more complicated). These days, for example, animation and rideability features would be routine stuff with animesh but still a bit of work. A breedable system off the shelf might be enough to make a basic model, but that's not a market I'm familiar with now.

    Right. I should have said that earlier myself. I spent a long time scripting a breedable for a client about 10 years ago, didn't get paid anywhere near as much as I should have charged (yes, I WAY underestimated the challenge when I accepted the job), and would never agree to do it again. Live and learn.

    As long as nobody has responded to it yet.

    If you want to hire anyone to do something for you, post in the InWorld Employment forum and see what happens. There is no way to predict what the job may cost. In most cases, it's a matter of negotiation between the buyer and the seller, so there a bit of research and trust involved on both sides. Especially if you want something complicated and unique, try to find out what the seller has done before. See if you can look at samples of the work, maybe talk to previous clients. Be prepared to be asked for partial payment up front, as security that you won't be wasting the other person's time and talents on something that you might refuse in the end. And be prepared to give and to ask for details of what's expected, so that you and the seller have a realistic feel for quality and cost.

    Open your dashboard at secondlife.com and look in the sidebar menu for the LindeX section, where you placed your order. You should find the Order History there. Open it and look for your order. Select it, and follow your nose through the pretty easy process to cancel the order.

    As far as I know, there's no regular schedule for Destination Guide updates. I suspect that some categories in the DG turn over faster than others, so some parts of it don't change much from one month to the next. It all depends on how many applications they get from people with new sites. The DG has been around for a very long time, though, and I'd be surprised if there were any plans to scrap it.

    I buy mine at the local coffee shop, where they roast the beans themselves three days of the week. You can smell the roaster a block away. I can't beat that with any store-packaged coffee, and I can't brew a cup at home that tastes as good as theirs. At $2.14 for a 20 oz cup, it's a great way to start the day. I leave a dollar tip and feel I got the best bargain of the day. It comes with a smile too.

    Nope. I drink my coffee black. Always have. Sugar and cream and -- heaven forbid -- fruity flavors ruin a good cup of coffee, IMO. I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway. I will occasionally have a square of dark chocolate but I don't eat other candy (other than a stray licorice jelly bean) and I've never liked sodas. I do enjoy a good tart apple pie, though.
