New Valentines Last Name....
Marigold Devin replied to AzureWaves's topic in General Discussion Forum
Oh, OK. I kind of get it now. I had to go back to what I posted as I had already forgotten why we were discussing whether or not someone's name was misprinted So, has Libido been used yet for a last name? ... /me goes to check. -

New Valentines Last Name....
Marigold Devin replied to AzureWaves's topic in General Discussion Forum
Glad it wasn't just me who had that reaction to the name Simp. In fact I was reading through the list of new last names and when I read that one I said out loud "Oh dear"! I cannot see there being many takers. Logging in to take a look ... About 8 so far, including one rather cutely named The Simp, an almost seven year old resident. The for a first name is always cute in my opinion. The Sack highly amuses me for some reason. (Just noticed name for photo credit bottom right corner - was Libido a new last name for last Valentine's Day?) -
The new Second Life Community Exhibition
Marigold Devin replied to Garnet Psaltery's topic in General Discussion Forum
I remember them having community portals to choose from when I created an alt in June 2012. I chose the portal that said something like "newbie friendly", and arrived in London City which was quite quiet on that day but had some male pole dancers in the window of what looked like a department store dancing in nothing much. And they were commemorating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. -

The new Second Life Community Exhibition
Marigold Devin replied to Garnet Psaltery's topic in General Discussion Forum
I don't know why this post reminded me of the 2022 Linden snowball fight that I tried and failed to get into. The region was full and the event was being live streamed on social media and it will come as absolutely no surprise that even though the region was full, one of the Linden people were heard to say they would get their friend/colleague in and lo, while a bunch of us plebs were left with our virtual noses pressed up against the invisible barrier stopping us from getting in, the employees of the Lab gained access. Nice work if you can get it, being paid to throw snowballs and just letting your mates in. While I still like the idea of this community exhibition thingummy and stand by all I've said so far, so far it is looking a bit cliquey, but I was trying not to be cynical yesterday, and focussing on the fact it would look cliquey with the well-established groups being the ones to be featured so far. There should perhaps be a portal to the A-rated/Zindra stuff, because obviously that generates a lot of income for Linden Lab and should be acknowledged. -
The new Second Life Community Exhibition
Marigold Devin replied to Garnet Psaltery's topic in General Discussion Forum
When I think back through everything I've enjoyed in Second Life the most, I hope Giant Snail Racing becomes part of the exhibition, but they probably need to rotate the exhibitors so it stays fresh and newbies can revisit for more inspiration and so it doesn't get massive and overwhelming. It's like a 3D Destination Guide in a way and if it changed from week to week it would remind me of the top of the Magic Faraway Tree. Oh to be a child again. -
Have Tiny Empires players yet been mentioned in this thread? I have such a strong feeling of deja vu

The new Second Life Community Exhibition
Marigold Devin replied to Garnet Psaltery's topic in General Discussion Forum
Currently watching a live feed where Strawberry and Patch are interviewing people who are at the few exhibits already set up there. It does look to be a great idea, need many more exhibitors though to give more of an idea of what is available to new residents. Seems a little bit "niche" at the moment, Gay Town, Caledon/Steampunk theme, Burn2, Second Norway, Virtual Ability, Bay City. These groups have been in Second Life for longer than I have and certainly do portray the diverse nature of Second Life, and gives out the message that anyone and everyone is welcome. -
Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!

No, but I have had a KitKat that was entirely chocolate. -
Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!
Marigold Devin replied to Coffee Pancake's topic in General Discussion Forum
Indoor picnics. The weather a bit too cold for outdoor picnics, local shop selling off a load of salad and sandwich items for better than half price, so about to stuff our faces and watch a DVD. That should stave off the Sunday blues. -
Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!
Marigold Devin replied to Coffee Pancake's topic in General Discussion Forum
Meant to post this yesterday. Being able to purchase a new mattress having saved up for quite a while for one. Such a sense of anticipation and satisfaction as I laid it onto my bed base yesterday. It's one of those rolled ones that you have to leave for 48 hours so I have yet to enjoy it. Fortunately I have two beds, one at my flat, one at my brother's house, and also am a fan of sofa sleeping. -
The coffee is really quite nice at our McDonalds, I haven't tried the muffins yet. This ought to be in the pet delight thread too.

Sometimes I think my brother is upstairs when I'm in the kitchen because I can hear someone moving around, then I'll find out he's not moved from the living room for the past hour. I think - I hope - it's pigeons or squirrels or mining subsidence

Two for the price of one on this one

No doubt that was why people actually liked Paul Weller and The Jam, because they thought their songs meant something other than the political points they were trying to make. It was such a pleasant change for him to make that soppy soft song (although he was still chewing gum as usual last time I saw him performing it on TV - heck that chuddy must be stale by now lol)
-
This one always reminds me of working at the end of the 1997 season at Butlins in Minehead, Somerset, UK (the world, the universe, blah blah, lol), and they had turned off the heating so we were freeeeeezing cold. This song, I love, but it always makes me remember how cold I felt, until I said "I'm cold, I'm going home", and I went home!
-
A song can evoke such memories, but this one just gives me a feeling of bittersweet and no actual memories, like something happened that year that I can't quite remember but can never quite forget either.

Still travelling back in time, this is sooo funny and I had forgotten all about it. Brilliant lyrics.
-
Softer, soppier, and amazingly brilliant from Paul Weller, who I never really took to when he was in The Jam.

Yes, yes we do (need a time machine), going back even further than the Status Quo version, original, 1981.
-
Yes! Yes we do.
