    I'm actually getting a fresh start at organizing my life. After two stays in the hospital in December, I suddenly became super aware of my mortality and the mess that will have to be gone through when I'm gone. So I've been doing estate planning and financial planning and organizing my records and cleaning house. I also started paying close attention to what I eat because I want to live. I need to watch salts and oxalates because my kidneys are very fragile and I have hypocalcemia. And I can't skip meals and I have to keep an eye on hydration.

    I was very scared after last Thanksgiving when my disabled daughter texted me late Saturday night. I didn't see the text til the following morning. She wanted me to send her the link to her plane ticket to come home from visiting with her dad. So I saw it when I got up and sent it to her and she did not reply. For 3 hours from the time I read her text until she arrived at our local airport and turned off airplane mode, I was terrified. I could not reach her. I called and texted and heard nothing from her and didn't know if she had managed to make her flight or not. I experienced gut clenching fear and dread during that time. It all ended happily. I drove to the airport, hopeful and anxious, and waited in the cell phone parking lot. She texted me and said, "Sorry, I had airplane mode on and didn't see you see your message".

    I did not know that! I liked MySpace so much better than FB and was really disappointed when it tanked. Now I don't feel so bad.

    Ain't got time for that! I just read the peeves thread and go to threads named in there to see what the fuss is about when I have the time.

    I suffer from hypocalcemia and there have been times in my life when I craved milk. I'm so glad that I'm not lactose intolerant too. Milk always makes me feel good.

    It's a combination "adoptee finds their birth mom", medical mystery/thriller. Very good read.

    Didn't you get the Boxing day bump? My depression always lightens by Boxing day. I think it's because of the relief that Xmas is over and I don't have to pretend to be ok any more.

    Traditions evolve over time. I don't think there should be any right or wrong rule about when or whether to decorate for the holidays. I didn't feel like decorating this year. So I didn't. There have been years when I did feel like it and it varied from year to year as to when and for how long I put them up. Next year I might go all out or I might skip it again, but I'm not the least bit concerned about anyone else's time table.

    It's always night time in my SL because that's the way I like it.

    Wow! Mr. Anonymoose left me a little present too. I'm touched, but baffled. Who is this moose and what are they up to?

    It seems my lab tests were alarming and I'm off to the emergency room for some IV therapy. Not exactly how I wanted to celebrate the Solstice but there it is.

    Sort of like this?

    I used to play TE. You can look their names up at the Tiny Empires site. If they are TE players they will be listed in the standings.

    I don't understand what the issue is? Not everyone in SL does the same things as everyone else. Just because the avatar is not moving does not mean they are a bot. They could be having a private conversation or playing a game or scripting. You just don't know. Seems rather xenophobic to me. If they are not on your property it's really none of your business.

    I agree with the review by the Washington Post except I didn't like the way it ended. It's been a while since I read the last one and this sequel was very satisfying until the end which was a cliff hanger and pissed me off. Now I imagine it will be another ten years before I get to read the last book of the (projected)10 book series.

    Many thanks to all who replied.

    I know there's a trick to this but I can't remember what to do. New Lelutka head - ears are gray and refuse to res, does anyone know what to do? I'd be ever so grateful for help.

    Rule 1) You can always change your mind. Rule 2) Rules can be broken.

    I was 31 when I got married. And 55 when I got divorced. There are no guarantees. You just make the best decision for yourself at the time you make it. And you live with the consequences.

    Like you, I worked really hard on my first mesh head to get it to look like my original system self. And like you I got close. Over the years close became good enough. You are quite right about questioning the goal of easiness, Orwar. What I really want is to be able to recreate Kali who was identical to my original avatar who I tried to make look like my real life face. I'm also trying to get reinvested in SL which I sort of dropped out of last year when I retired and moved across the country. I don't know whether it's cognitive decline or laziness or what but I'm finding it harder to learn new things. Playing with a new alt has given me a reason to log in.

    Thank You! yes! They were all on and the head kept making faces at me while I was trying to modify the shape and it was driving me crazy! I gave up and went to bed. Now, maybe I can see if this could be the head I want.

    Thanks! That did help so much! Now can you tell me how to make her hold still? I've been searching for some kind of stop animations button and I'd tear my hair out but she's bald right now.

    Alas! I gave the Catwa demo a whirl today, but, I'm afraid I can't use this head. The little symbols are too obscure for me and the writing is too small. I'm just floundering pressing buttons i don't understand. It's too bad there isn't a way to magnify the hud to be usable because I really liked the shape of the head very much. ETA~ I just discovered a great tutorial for Catwa with big pictures so I'm gonna try the head again.

    Yes. You can see it here: But I didn't notice it until I looked for it.
