:smileyembarrassed: Thank you. Although it feels embarrassingly narcissistic I just had to use that picture somewhere. :smileywink: And to Kar1y, I sincerely apologize for my useless reply but Kar1y wrote: who is sending them? what is the purpose? can I stop it? ...was just too dramatic to pass up. :smileytongue:

And so it begins... run. Run as fast as you ca and don't look back. They're coming....

He should strap himself in that harness and stuff his own brain with probes and wires. Then maybe I'll be impressed.

:smileyhappy: At a complete loss as to how to answer without totally sounding like a grandmother... yes, 29 can very easily be considered "young" in the grand scheme of life.

SL seems boring because you're young and you shouldn't be inside all day. Turn off your computer, go outside and live your life doing real things. Go places. Make mistakes. Fall in love. Life is too short.

One of these days I'll have to go snap some pictures of the section of Route 66 I'm thinking of, but this is a good example. See? Abandoned building? Check. Tumbleweeds? Check. Kicks? ...well, we can always run off across that field and see if we can make one of those cows angry...

It wouldn't be hard to recreate a small part of old 66. Just create an abandoned building and throw some tumbleweeds in front of it. Heck, most of SL looks like that anyhow.

If I were a DJ I wouldn't take requests, I'd just play songs from my collection that I think other people should hear and then get offended and argumentative if anyone said anything. :smileyhappy: I like it; it's fun, brief, gets the point across.

I see your plinth and raise you two ampersands AND an ampersat. &&@!

Plinth. Plinth! ?

&!

& Ampersand. Ampersand!!

All of human civilization, billions of lives over millions of years, trillions of man and woman hours of struggle and strife and accomplishment and failure, have led to this moment. The crowning achievement of the human species. The Cat Fountain.

If it were me I would say you don't need to provide anything at all except a copy or two of the clothing you wish to model and some reasonable expectation of what you have in mind for the finished theme. Any good photographer surely has poses, backdrops and models on tap with hair, skins, etc. ready to go. I think the most important thing is for the designer to let the photographer know exactly what they have in mind. That just makes it easy for everyone.

Where are you from? New Mexico, USA; land of hot air balloons, green chile and meth (waves to Knutz). When did you join SL originally? September of 2007. Orientation Island was bugged and I couldn't finish the 4th wing, got very frustrated with SL and left. Came back several months later to try again. What have you mainly spent your time doing in SL in the past? Kinky sims, being a submissive, discovering I was better at being a Domme, shopping, going premium, building a sky-mansion, becoming bored and lonely, tearing everything down and vowing never to do it again. How are you planning to spend your time in SL in 2013? Remaining homeless, wandering aimlessly, taking pictures every so often and ruining them in Photoshop.

MANY unnecessary capitals. :smileyfrustrated:

Then again.... maybe it was the virus. Or maybe even The Virus, seeing as how empty Second Life seems to be sometimes. I honestly think the entire grid should be one big zombie shooting zone sometimes since you're more likely to encounter a bot zombie than a real, live person. Here's what Real Life looks like: Here's what Second Life looks like: (aaaagghhh!!)

I dropped by. MSE didn't seem to pick up anything. *shrug*

LL should get down on their knees and kiss the feet of every live person that chooses to stay in SL. Any avatar in world that has a living, breathing person behind it adds to the world in immeasurable ways, even if all they do is greet another avatar by saying "Hi.". Buying L$ and helping move the world economy along should garner the lowly resident a LOT more respect than they receive now from LL. Without life there is no Second "Life". I wonder how long your business would stay afloat if it was all bots and driverless vehicles at your door.

I know, and I agree with you.

Gadget Portal wrote: There is no reason not to have a decent computer these days. Very true. But a lot of us have absolutely no reason to buy or upgrade our existing computers, which work just fine for everything else we need them for, just to run SL a little better. I'm not struggling but if I suddenly had an extra $300 I sure wouldn't be spending it on something I already have.

I think they got the background image wrong. Here ya go, LL! They can keep the tagline though -- "Go Someplace New With Dio".

"Princess" is a political office, isn't it?
