I liked this one (and you can get it with and without pubic hair) I am sure you can find your own polyester suit and curled blue hair. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MaranDesigns-skins-Skin-shape-grandma/247671

Hippie is always positive, encouraging and generous. A true asset to the forums and SL, he is one of the first to say 'hi' to the newbies and offer lessons or help in-world. (((hugs))) from the opposite coast, Hippie!!!

YYAAYY!!! @ Val - Mad is right! There are some amazing creations in that store. I just can't decide what I like best. The chocolate dress is nice, the meat dress made me laugh. @ Storm - We all value your eye for fashion and judging by your badge picture, it is sorely needed by us all. Your points are still redeemable and have no expiration date. @ Sylvia - I can dress up if I HAVE to. I have been told I clean up well... Let me dig down deep into my inventory and dredge up something more formal and we can both wear our newly fitted hats and hairs. @ Jesica - 100 pts - That is amazing. I was not aware there was animated hair. Does it work in regions where you can't run scripts? I will have to look into how to drop the script into a different hat and double check that I am buying mod items. Awesome! @ Keli - I will check the hairs I have to see if I can use bits and pieces in other styles. I do tend to wear the same hair colors most of the time. Now I have even more reasons to check if things are mod. @ Venus - I am sure at times that may be the case. I try to keep attachments to a minimum, but I almost always have an AO attached. Next time I am missing a boot (a wardrobe malfunction I can handle) I will try tp'ing lighter. @ Love - The maitreya hair I have now is similar. I will give the store another visit. I love that longer style and the hat is cute for summer! @ Dee - 200 pts - I need a hippiestock hat! Cute! At some point (sooner than later) I have got to spend a little more time playing with all the editing menus. I have never looked into linking and unlinking. I like the idea of making a single item from a hair and a hat that didn't come together so I have more flexibility. @ Maryanne - 50 pts - Because you dress yourself like I do (with a minimum of effort) Both hats look good and that tiny bit if hair pithing you off in the picture isn't really that noticeable. @ kattatonia - 1000 pts. (but you have to share them with Marianne Little) That was some great information and one of the best answers (next to Storm's idea of just going bald). Now that I am making sure I have modify rights on my clothing and accessories, I hope it will get easier to put together a few combos that work. It looks easy and I like the idea of using a hair that is already made for a hat. Thanks for pointing out that thread!!!! *All points can be redeemed in-world for a dance at your favorite venue or a kind word when you are feeling down. The choice is yours.

I promised to hand out points... @ Chelsea - 50 pts. - it was a great suggestion and the hat looks awesome - it is too bad they are no longer around @ Sylvia - 50pts - PITA is right - this could take some time and several copies to get right @ Dillon - 60 pts - the bob is a good suggestion and it looks nice with the hat you have on. I may give this a try with a few demos @ Ceera - I was tempted to take away points because of the sad news, but I won't shoot the messenger - 40 pts - for reminding me to make copies before I mess with the editing. @ Griffin - 50 pts - I may not buy very many hats if I have to adjust a hairstyle for each one, but some hats are just too good to pass up. I can forgive a few fly-away hairs when I move. @ Ellyn - 50 pts - You reminded me of a nice smooth maitreya (sp) hair I already have. I am going to give it a try. The low ponytail seems to be harder to find than I thought. @ Love - 60 pts - I am going to try a demo of that hair to see if the bun is low enough - looks great on you! @ Sylvia(again) - 1,000,000 pts - What? I'm a girl... Sympathy with my hair plight goes a long way. @ Storm - 100 pts - for reminding me of just how sexy bald can be (I hate to say it, but that IS the perfect solution to my hair sticking through my hats) @ Kelli - 60 pts - I had thought of the hairbase and even found some bangs (hair not included - LOL) on the marketplace. I am going to try in-world for more options. I did not see where you could get just a ponytail or bun attachment without the entire hair. Is that possible? @ Venus - 60 pts - I will have to try that one. It seems way easier than trying to move a bunch of individual hairs. The only draw back would be hoping my hat makes the tp with me. Yesterday every time I tp'd I was missing my left boot when I arrived. @ Val - 50 pts - I will put it on my fieldtrip list. I am always up for something creative and mad!!! Would you send a landmark my way? *All points can be redeemed in-world for a dance at your favorite venue or a kind word when you are feeling down. The choice is yours.

Thanks to all of you. I have seen the hair/hat combos in a few stores. Of course, they look great and I even have one or two. I was hoping for more flexibility in choosing hats - there are so many great looking ones to choose from. /me stretches, cracks knuckles and takes a deep breath I will attempt the editing of individual hairs. If it looks okay, maybe it will end up in the vanity thread... Kisses, Cinn

I know almost everyone here is a hair collector. Does anyone have any suggestions for hair that can be worn with a hat or hood? I have the worst time trying to keep my hair from poking out of anything I put on my head. Bonus points if that hair doesn't have a high rendering cost and more bonus points if you can suggest a longer hair style. Thanks! Cinn

Do I deserve one? Probably not, but it would be fun to have an area big enough to really play in. I wouldn't have to pick up my toys, I could spend a few months building the perfect forest, then wipe it out and spend a few months building the perfect desert or city or alien planet. Would this free land come with a private tutor to teach me all the tips and tricks I would need to know? Why should I get one? Just because I want to learn and create - even if I know I will destroy it and start over again. I don't have one either and many are not being used by anyone anyway I agree with the privacy part - not everyone needs to witness my learning curve

Maddy - Loooooove Shel Silverstein!!!! We have most of his children's poetry memorized in this house (his adult stuff is fun, too) I still feel the need to cry like a sap if I read The Giving Tree (pun intended). Sylvia - I had no idea that poem was about you, but if Maddy is deepfrying some of the mess, I request some deep fried icky, sticky bubblegum. /me stokes the fire and sharpens the roasting sticks hoping that someone remembers to bring marshmallows for dessert... HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE

Oooohhhhh!!! Beautiful autumn pictures everyone! Here is where I was this weekend: And this is who I went with (the 2 on the right with silly expressions and the inability to focus are mine, the 2 on the left I am dog-sitting) :

Very nice badge, Dazler. The theme is perfect for your elfish avatar and I personally like that you can see your name over the top of it. So many are impossible to read a name on without highlighting it. Nice job. I also used that same thread when I first started using this new forum software. It would have taken forever to figure it out without that tutorial. Cinn

Aww... Big hugs for Lillie. Extra strength and positive thoughts are beaming your way. I hope your family is pulling together at this time. Cinn P.S. I miss seeing all you guys in-world and miss my SL... Darn RL is taking up too much time lately.

Here I am just relaxing in another beautiful location on SL, just minding my own business at my favorite time of day. It was just before dark and the first twinkling stars were appearing. I was trying to decide what kind of trouble I could get myself into next. Unbeknownst to me I was being watched... A lovely jeweled humming bird stopped to chat for a while. He told me to follow the green lights. I had noticed them earlier and was curious, but not enough to actually go there. Never one to ignore an order, I thanked the bird for a purpose and set out on my way. The path led me to a strange alien pond. A circle of weird glowing rocks made me a bit uneasy, but my exploration resumed. Soon I met an odd-looking pink and purple swan that promised to take me to the Heart of SL. Now THAT is a quest I couldn't say no to. So I hopped on and enjoyed the flight over the hill. I was dropped off in another interesting area on the same island. There were pendulums and a large glowing circular object that I couldn't identify. What a strange place. After a bit more exploring, I finally located it - the heart of SL. I couldn't believe it. So THIS is how they keep SL running ( a lot of civilian made power - at least they provided water). I hope someone benefited from the surge of extra power I worked so hard to generate. After all that hard work, I needed a break. I flew the swan back over the mountain and climbed the hill back to the stump. I had a lot to think about, but first a nice cup of hot tea with my new friend watching over me.

I'm up! I'm up! /me grabs a plate of pancakes on her way to work. Thank you Dee!

I found your wayward pandas, Val. It seems someone left the nursery door open... And THEN!!!! I found Maddy outside encouraging some of the younger pandas to play in the mud. I distinctly heard her say, "Mom LOVES it when you get dirty" and "Yes, yes, the puddle is deeper on that side." I even heard a rather mumbled, "It shows extra loving feelings when you sit on your siblings." Shame on you: You will have to label the guilty yourself, Val. All pandas look the same to me....

I must be missing something here. I am not even sure how this sounds like a good idea. I would not want to show up to a sim (rp or other) and see a bunch of people walking around that aren't real and can't really interact. How would I find the real people if there are any? I understand the atmosphere stand, having a bustling city, but in my opinion it would take away from role playing if all these AI people kept me from finding actual avis to chat with. I could use the radar to locate other players, but it is easier and more realistic to just 'see' where they are. I hope they are easily programmable, because by the tenth time I walk down the same street and the same beggar is yelling "got any spare change?" again, the realism is gone. I don't get it, Cinn

Yay! I will be trying this fix next time I log in. Thank you all and I will report back when I know if it works. That "premature termination" has been an issue for a while... Cinn

I ordered a few things on a Saturday a few weeks ago. Nothing arrived. I waited the 24 hours recommended and still didn't get the items. I sent a note (not to the creators) but to LL. I found it here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Shopping-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700195 Under support for shoppers is an option for "Unreceived Items", then clicked on "Submit a support case" I told them what happened, included my order number and what was missing. This just seemed easier than contacting each individual seller to ask them to resend what Marketplace messed up on. A few days later I got a response back from LL along the lines of - so sorry you had this problem, we verified your order and have resent the items. Great! I logged back in - no items. I figured I'd take care of it later. I was logged in for almost an hour when the items suddenly started arriving. I got them all eventually. I am sure your stuff will appear, if not a quick note to LL should fix it.

Hi Maia, Welcome to the forums. I have been having this issue for more than a month. I always seem to be just a bit blurry unless I constantly rebake. No one else sees me this way so I just ignore it unless I want to take a picture or something. I use both the SL viewer and Firestorm and the same happens on both. I will be interested to see if anyone has a solution. Cinn

Yes, you are correct. 7 billion - I feel even smaller now. Root beer is rather tasty, isn't it. It should have a celebration month. Should we come up with one or just celebrate it on days that end in -y? *In 1960, the US. Food and Drug Administration banned sassafras as a potential carcinogen, however, a method was found to remove the oil from sassafras. Only the oil is considered dangerous.

I am a true American mutt. When I tried to go back and do a little family history investigation, I could not find one culture that was represented more than another. Apparently the line I come from loved who they loved regardless of what nation that other person came from. I have nearly every European country, native American (I know they wandered over a land bridge long ago), African, Middle Eastern, Russian represented in my past. I have not found Asian or Indian yet, but it is probably there. A celebration of just one of those doesn't make any sense. I am a child of the world and will celebrate the similarities and differences of being 1 of 6 billion humans. Besides, I am sure history is written by whoever won the war whether they were right or wrong. Of course, none of this mixed heritage means I would deprive myself of having a German in October, an Irish beer in March or enjoying a Margarita in May. The good thing about being a mutt is I can celebrate with anyone. As far as your original question... You have no reason except political correctness to deny yourself your history. If you are interested in European cultures and history, there are many history books to choose from. Celebrate who you are and don't worry about how others see it, you can invite anyone you want to celebrate with you including those who are not of European heritage. It is harder and harder to find "pure blood" anyone these days. Most of us are mixed breeds. ETA - okay, it is pretty obvious I work in an animal hospital. I laugh when people come in with designer dogs - cockapoos, labradoodles, puggles. All they are is a pure bred dog and a sneaky neighbor dog. So, sorry about all the mutt and mixed breed analogies, but people pay top dollar for these mixes - lol.

Whew!!! I finally have a day off. I have missed everyone!!! Happy birthday, Val and HAPPY OCTOBER everyone! /me digs through the garage for all the Halloween decorations. Now where did I put that fog machine??? That Hansel and Gretl cartoon has me in the mood for something spooky....

I wish I had a great story... I just used my real first name and figured no one would believe it anyway. I have hippie parents and shudder at all the possible names they could have come up with. I like my name and always have, but I wonder of being called Moon or Sunny or Amethyst would have felt the same. I put zero thought into choosing a last name (it was the first one that worked). If I had known I could have had so much fun with the combination, I definitely would have put more effort into it. Even so, I am very glad to have a last name - I like running into other avatars with the same one. Cinn

Hi Hippie! I LOVED mine! I DID flatten an entire sandbox rezzing it. I envisioned a smaller 2 or 4 seater spacecraft. LOL!!! I apologized profusely and rezzed it at the space port instead. It is awesome!!! Thank you!!!!
