Inventory sorting!

This week I logged in and went exploring where the Meadowbrook Linden homes are and was nicely surprised with an unexpected treasure hunt and secret places to explore complete with gifts. It made this 16 year old resident feel that new girl enthusiasm all over again. Thank you to the Moles and Lindens involved on that one. The Meadowbrook homes are modern now but still have that old-fashioned (in SL terms) "feel", and again that took me back to earlier times in Second Life.

Do as Rowan has suggested, make an alternative avatar. We are each officially allowed five accounts per household, and a lot of us have more than one avatar. Then with your alternative avatar you can visit the land and again follow Rowan's instructions. Sometimes estate managers appear to ban people when they are updating the land. And there are MANY other great places to visit anyway. Always remember to read any rules that some landowners either place at the landing area on notice boards, or they often send you a notecard which goes into your inventory. Please read and respect the rules of the landowners.

Watched/Listened to it three times now. She ain't bad at all for 77, can rock those boots and fishnets. (And the band are great too.)

I think you'd have to walk around in another person's shoes to fully understand why some of us cling to our old look. For me personally, the most I ever wanted to do to my avatar was occasionally change its shape, hair-do or clothes. I was never a fan of dressing up dolly but I know, of course, that MANY people in Second Life really enjoy this and shopping for their avatar the most. And your collection of hair, Rowan, has got to be the biggest and best. I absolutely adore looking through all the photos on the How Does Your Avatar Look ... types of threads, but really am not a fan of change within my own avatar or environment really. I get a big old mental block if I even consider making time-consuming changes, and I'd rather use the time on something that takes less of my concentration but absorbs my thoughts completely. I can't speak for other people of course, but for me this is why I don't much change my appearance. In real life I just like to be clean and paid for but remain pretty much uniform too, sticking to the tried and tested capsule wardrobe. I have gone slightly off topic - forgive me BilliJo.

I subscribed to something similar, for unlimited newspapers and magazines, including a lot of local newspapers, and magazines about steam railways, caravanning, living on the coast, DIY, knitting, women's interests ... and I just haven't got enough hours left in the rest of my life to read all I've bookmarked.

That's one of the good things about having such a low spec computer. People having full bright anything or face lights or glowing neon gizmos just has never bothered me at all. Your world, your imagination. And no doubt you are very unique.

As someone who doesn't really have a fear of missing out I found the rules of this club highly amusing. It makes me want to go there dressed like a gigantic adult baby (and I have never been an adult baby in real or Second Life before). Seriously though, how far would I go ... I wouldn't bother trying to please some egotistical club owner or moderator within that club who strangely seems to have too much "power". (It's just too laughable.)

Forums only. I gave up with Flickr years ago, but can't remember exactly what it was that teed me off about it. I did start uploading to Instagram but decided very quickly that wasn't for me either.

Ooooo. This might be my favourite of yours so far. I love the outfit (wish I was young and thin enough to wear it!)

What gets me about Nextdoor is how gullible people are. They really think everyone is their bezzy mate and all the "tradesmen" coming forward to offer their services are genuine.

Peeve: Peer pressure. This rat doesn't race for anyone.

I know you asked for something specific, a list of all the sims. There wouldn't really be any point, because the sims/regions don't have specific themes all that often. I mean, places like the Fruit Islands may well well be predominantly sailing sims, or on mainland it's the regions called "Blake Sea - " and then something else like Siren's Isle, which again are good for sailing around. To avoid missing events, the best thing to do is look for groups that run the type of events you're looking for, such as Def Leppard tribute bands (or is that just me? ) or shopping or gothic or exploring, etc. If I'm on a day where I feel I might be missing out on something but am not quite sure what I want to be doing, I pull up the world map and look for the places that have the most green dots and then teleport it. It can be random, fun, even dangerous at times, but it's never dull.

They seem to, but my guess is they get plenty of warnings from the mods.

It is only a small group, but they don't run the forums, even if they may give off the impression that they think that they do. That's just their arrogance/narcisissm showing itself. But we are all like crows and cranes, we all find our own level, the people we rub along with, and those we clash with from time to time. And that's why I always come back to forums even after a break when I feel the balance is temporarily off. No need to walk on eggshells. Just you be you, it helps with the balance.

That is a good point.

I know. Because some people really do come into Second Life to hook up with someone, like it's a dating agency for them.

Nice thread to start, Sam We were in need of something positive on this gloomy January day. Definitely good to find other people with whom to test "weapons" and fun HUDs that others might see as griefing tools. _____ I find it endearing when people do the opposite of using security orbs/devices to keep people out of their property and they actually put out welcome signs and gifts, sharing the goodwill. I found it endearing when a newbie clambered onto the back of a flying bat I was riding a few days ago and sparked up a conversation that was more than just a "hi", even though English was not his first language. It was quite an interesting conversation. I find it endearing when people generally pay it forward. That was one of my first experiences in Second Life. People pooling and sharing their knowledge about all the "how to" aspects of Second Life, and showing me interesting places they've found.

When I'm chatting with a man in world and he asks me if I'm a female in real life. Does it matter? Why does it matter? What the blinking 'eck is going on in his head? Happened again this week, so I said "Yes, a 60 year old female". My age seemed to dampen his ardour. Good-oh! I ain't here to date, mate.

Dreary, raining earlier, soon springtime MUDDY
