I don't know who that fella is, but I don't think you want Maddy getting behind him...

Bobbie, you're sure it was a fella? XX Resident sounds remarkably like Maddy on a root-beer binge.

Madelaine McMasters wrote: The more I pay attention to the workings of my own brain, the more I'm convinced I'm not alone in there. You aren't alone in here, and if you're convinced of that, why do you continue to behave as if you are? Hypocrite.

That ice-blue dress is the wrong color for you. I'm thinking green. Deep green. Desparingly deep green.

Freya Mokusei wrote: Nothing wrong with that - a lot of the people I know in SL could stand to think a lot more! The more Maddy thinks, the less finger wagging I get to do. Finger wagging is the only exercise I get. So, if you don't mind, I'll not tell Maddy what you said about her.

To keep your ears warm (: I think they've actually put a name on what I'm sure our parents thought afflicted Maddy, "Oppositional Defiant Disorder". She'll argue she had a mild case of it. Shortly prior to getting married, Maddy's then fiance (now ex-husband) gifted her a black negligee with a foo-foo fuzzy hemline "to keep her neck warm".

Since i wont be going back to and dont want to go back to the linden included home. can i now , downgrade to basic? Thanks, Noel Yep, if you're renting from a third party, you're not using the included tier of a premium membership. There are other benefits of premium membership, but those were never enough for me to sign up. You will remain a premium member until the end of your current billing cycle. Linden Lab does not rebate the unused portion of a premium membership. Make sure you've abandoned the home and any other Linden land you might have.

There are always exceptions. I shouldn't have said that. Now you'll be thinking you're exceptional. Sorry, Snugs. By "exceptional" do you mean "one who takes exception"? that be a exceptionee. One who takes a exception if give a exception then you be the exceptionor is same like afencee and affencor. Them what take and give a fence jejejje (: I was thinking along the lines of "oppositional" as "one who takes the opposing view". That would describe Maddy to a T. With respect to fences, Maddy would be a climber, scaler or jumper.

I write that column on an adding machine tape.

The moment the victim arrived, they'd know I was the culprit in their attempted incineration. It would be so much better to torch them from behind. They'd never know it was me. Only a fool would announce her identity in the middle of a crime. ;-). How would you describe someone who announces her identity in advance of the crime? I have no words for that. You wanna take a stab at it? Careful, Dillon. She's fishing for compliments, and unlike you, she'll keep a runt or even claim the bait was a catch.

You got the bad news and some barely plausible excuses from others, Gerry. Now let me give you a foolproof way out. Tell your friend that Madelaine McMasters hacked your account and crafted the wayward IM. If she coulda, she woulda. And I think I could coerce her to confess.

Lindal's exposition on the value of advertising yourself is spot on. SL is the place to experiment. However, I must take issue with her warning about uppity alts. I find it's the main avatars who need watching.

Right, that's my experience, give it back. jejejeje (: + when your DT starts arguing about what is good for you then we all doomed DT says: Cant have chocolates, no icecream, no lollies. for you ok, and No getting wasted on Friday night. bc is bad for us all these things and we cant have them for reals bc DT already snaffle control of our bank account. Which we gave them bc we was wasted last Friday and get all sad and sorry about how our life is ruin. And we was wasted enough to tell DT to never ever evah give control back until we get sorted out then like we start to wonder what use they are them DTs to us if all they do now is boss us around and our DTs go: hmm!! we was wondering the same thing about you jejejejeje (: I don't think you're giving us enough credit. Had Maddy listened to me she'd: never have married never have joined SL exercised instead of sitting in her SL chair not have gained 12 pounds Because she listened to me, she: got divorced cut back on SL started excercising lost 1614 pounds (always weigh yourself before breakfast) I'd not badger her so if she'd promised to leave everything to me when she goes. Unfortunately, she's taking me with her.

"digital twins will mirror peoples' interests and values. " That's not been my experience.

People look at me funny when I suggest that as a way to solve thorny problems in real-time systems. Let me be the first to suggest that's not why people look at you funny. The real issue is can both of you pass the Turing test? I don't think I could pass it. I just asked Maddy, who's downstairs. She yelled back "Kobayashi Maru!".

Phil Deakins wrote: My explanation was a joke but I guess you didn't get Only Fools and Horses over there. We have both fools and horses over here. With Maddy's help, the fools outnumber the horses by a wide margin.

So, I could steal your Trademarks. I could also steal your identity! ;-). Are you still trying to get your's back from Snugs? I dont' have it. Maddy couldn't give her identity away. Though she's intimated she might steal Sassy's, she's really angling for a swap. Sassy would be better off without an identity than getting Maddy's in exchange.

I also enjoyed that story, Marigold, though there's a kind of child not mentioned in it. Where's the little girl who, having spotted the teacher placing the toy cat in the tree, swaps it with a real one (an ornery real one that nibbles on children's toes) while nobody's looking? I knew a little girl like that. In your story, she would have locked me in the broom closet because I saw what she did.

"BDSM practitioners either did not differ from the general population or if they differed, they always differed in the more favorable direction". Maddy will not be happy to hear this. She's as oppositional as they come. If she can't be different, she's unhappy. And if she can be different, "favorable" is not the direction she chooses. I can't complain. She's steady employment. Perhaps she's got no habenula?

Maddy is busy chasing Par, so I'll wish everybody a belated Happy Fourth!
