    In SL I can choose who and what I want to see. That's enough for me. I'm a big fan of derendering things that offend me. No need to complain, just right click and make it disappear. If I don't like the music, I turn the sound off and play my own music. If I'm shopping in a crowded venue I select see friends only. Someone's gesturbating? Mute 'em. Somebody ranting about something in the forum? I don't have to read it.

    I'm feeling philosophical this morning and it occurred to me after trying and failing to quote someone in a closed thread, that I had something to say that could be generalized and applied to so many aspects about life in and out of SL. It seems like there is an increasing need to control everything and everyone. We get peeved by non conformity. Become aware of something, don't like it and it's got to go. "The existence of Bots must be forbidden by LL.", "We've got to roll back the clock to 1950", "there ought to be a law against...", "we need more dress codes and more stringent rules governing behavior." Whatever happened to Live and let live? Xenophobia is running rampant everywhere these days. Is it because with rapid communications the world has gotten so much smaller? Is it a side effect of coming out the other side of the pandemic?

    I did a major inventory clean up this year and I am trying really hard not to go nuts collecting freebies that I don't unpack until years later then throw 90% away. I worked my way backwards year by year and I still have a folder of 2014 advent gifts that I haven't unpacked yet. I'm only going to a couple of advents this year and if I miss a day I don't break a sweat over it. The events I've gone to so far this year I'm trying to unpack as I go. My to be sorted folder is not empty, I still have a hair fair folder and the sl birthday bash folder to be unpacked, but I'm doing much better than usual.

    I don't think a lot of AFK people are doing it on purpose to ruin SL. I go AFK a lot but I never deliberately go AFK. I'm just absent minded. I get up to get a drink or something and then I realize the dishes need to be done or the light highlights the dust on the book case or the phone rings and the next thing I know a few hours have gone by since I was last at my desk.... Sometimes I don't get back to the keyboard until the next day. Sometimes I'm still at my desk, I just read an email and then went to look something up on Google and before you know I've got 15 tabs open and my sl session is buried underneath somewhere.

    Shopping peeves: Where are the detailed blogs that tell me what's there at the Shop n Hop that makes it worth my while to slog through the mall from hell? the slurls are ok for getting you to the shops you like, but they don't tell what's for sale this time around or if there's a free gift that isn't crap. And if you're not familiar with the store, is there something there that warrants hanging around waiting for it rez? I have a real life these days and don't have 40 spare hours or the patience to wander through.

    Kuula was my first home, then I moved to the NCI beach. Junkyard Blues will let you set home there for free if you join the group. I rent a shack there for $50L and set my home there just to support the sim.

    I have that one too. I think it's my favorite.

    I used to want one of these so bad, but I was given another, cheaper brand. It did the job, but I still wished for the kitchen aid... I dumped it when I was downsizing and now I no longer lust for big appliances that are rarely used and I have no room for.

    I've some in my inventory, some mod, and some no mod that are trans and I sent them to you. Some of them are pretty old and not that great looking but maybe you can take the smoke animations from them.

    I have some real life problems, to call them peeves would be to grossly underplay their impact on me. I guess I am generally peeved with bureaucracies, in particular the insurance industry in the US of A and the IRS. But it hurts me to dwell on this. I'm reminded of a t shirt a dear friend of mine wore. On the back it said "If you let it", on the front: "A nuclear holocaust could ruin your day".

    I was looking around to see if Lelutka was giving away another head as they have in previous years and so far no signs of one but I did see that they are having a black Friday sale with 50% off.

    Latest lab results, I climbed up another percentage point in kidney function (was at 10% last Christmas when I was hospitalized, now at 19%).

    my first partner was in his mid 70s in 2009, so he's in his late 80s now.

    All my life I believed that white bread was bad and whole grains were so much better for you. Then I learned that I have oxalate nephropathy and that for me, white bread is better for me than whole grains because the oxalate content is lower. My condition is rare but I'm not the only one so your blanket statement above is erroneous. Not everyone, just most people, might find whole grains are better for them.

    When I was hosting I used to occasionally serve trays of sandwiches or other appetizers and various beverages. And popcorn(sometimes to lighten the mood after drama happened). Sometimes I just /me passed things around, other times I'd actually send wearables that I've collected over the years. Not an original idea really, just a fun thing that I'd experienced and enjoyed recreating. I think the first time I had a virtual meal was way back when I belonged to a group called the LWL (ladies who lunch) which was formed in response to, well never mind, no need to go into that. But one day one of the ladies started passing out virtual lunch items to everyone, one at a time, first salads, then forks, then entrees and finally after about a dozen items, someone asked her what she was doing and she replied that if we were going to call ourselves the ladies who lunch then we ought to have lunch, right?

    Been around computers since the 80s(worked as a computer operator on mainframes), not sure why i didn't find SL until 2009. I'm 67.

    I had to look this up since most of them are inactive but I have 27 accounts. One of them I can't sign into, my first male alt. He's been lost for a long time, his recovery email address is defunct and I've lost the password. 25 of them can be found by anyone searching the tiny empires ranking database since they are all my subjects. I made one after that because I wanted to see what the new user experience was like lately. A lot of them were originally made that way but then got reused during my passion for playing TE. Two are premium accounts, the rest are freebies. Rarely do the alts ever get logged in these days, some of them get upgrades once in a while when there are new free heads to be had.

    So many peeves! I was afk for about a week and I just finished reading all the pages since last time I was here. I see the language correctness peeve has seen a lot of action. I'm fairly neutral about proper language, as long as communication happens, I don't care if people break the rules but I to make an effort to follow them myself. And dirty monitors adding apostrophes where they shouldn't was amusing. I sure wish that whoever is persecuting PheebyKatz would cut it out, it's really uncool. My own peeve of the day(and the many days I was forced to deal with them) is with the gummit, particularly the US mail and the IRS. They've managed to make my life a living hell and now I get to wait anxiously for 8 weeks to see if it all gets sorted out or if I need to jump through more hoops.

    Well, I had a great time. I didn't ToT very hard and I only collected 54 candies, but I had a blast and one bear is enough for me. I missed out on all the drama of the broken buckets since RL took up all of my time for the last 8 days or so of the hunt. I'm glad it was fixed before the actual traditional time for trick or treating. I'm sad though that the buckets were collected before I had a chance to see how many visitors I had. And a special thank you to @Cinnamon Mistwood for her creative thank you note: She said: /me slides up to the house and startles as it darkens to pitch black. She feel her way forward carefully with one hand out in front of her in the general direction of the candy bucket. After tripping awkwardly on the steps she pitches sideways into the arms of a skeleton. The panic rises further as she pulls out karate moves she didn't know she knew after her face lands in a spiderweb. She lets out a soundless scream and peddles backwards falling off the deck and into the soft sand. She was last seen running down the road screaming about utter darkness and vowing to call the housing authority. (Saved Thu Oct 27 23:05:34 2022)Trick-or-Treat! Thank you for candies Nom Nom Nom. Happy Hlloween!!!

    I have two, a Vic and a trad. I didn't intend having two but I screwed up canceling the premium for my alt and she wound up with another year's worth of premium. I'm planning to cancel her back to basic when it comes due(prolly a month before that so I don't screw up again). I might switch to premium plus if they ever release the 2048s and they turn out to be to die for but not until I see when soon is.

    My alts put my picture on the back page of the profile; Or some of them do, sometimes I couldn't be bothered to fill out their profiles. I put my first av there on my profile, since I was her alt. I too am terrible at guessing alts. It just doesn't occur to me that someone I'm talking with has made an alt just to deceive. Although sometimes, just for something to do when I was hosting on a slow night, my DJ and I would play the speculation game. He was much better at than I was.
