Cinnamon Mistwood

Good morning (and other times of day) to all. Hugs and kisses!!! Feeds don't seem to want to work today. So I brought a few dozen donuts and espresso. I am getting antsy for Christmas. Is it time yet? Is it time yet? Cinn

Cool? - Not really Beaches? - no Shopping? - only if I have to Dancing? - yes 25-35 years old? - nope AO aware? - yep Not sure if I have an accent - that would depend on where YOU are from... I don't quite fit the bill... Not even 34% on this test, but I am sure you will find yourself a best girlfriend. Good luck and have fun with your search. Welcome to the forums, Cinn

Maybe they have the settings all backwards or set such that if you get too much Love your feed shuts down. I know atm I can't love Rod anymore. Maybe the wandering windmill slayer would like more loving? Just spreading the 'love'. Here are 2 loves (one for each so not enough to trend) /me gives extra long hugs to both Perrie and Conoro. They are just long enough to make you both blush and feel just a bit uncomfortable. If I had an alt, I would send him/her in here for the second round of love so all this could be public... Perhaps you should also love each other.... No self-love is needed in a threesome... Just saying... Cinn

Jeez! I leave you guys alone for one day and someone starts flinging carrots around. Good thing I hate carrots... Don't you carrot all for my feelings? *sobs* Can't we all just get along? *sniffs* Think of the children! *wails* Someone get me a tissue, please. Do you carrot all for me? My heart beets for you, with your turnip nose, And your radish face, You are a peach. If we cantaloupe, lettuce marry: Weed make a swell pear. I realize this play on words is not something everyone will *get*. Maybe this is the strategy of redirection. I am sure if we all look around we will find specific instances of cruelty and general meanness. However, tone is not usually set by one particular case or response, which is why I had asked for general strategies. I have seen many responses that apply to this "general tone of the forums". I have heard many opinions - some I liked, some made me go 'meh', some I agreed with, some I thought were so far off base I wondered how that thought popped into anyone's mind, some I disagreed with. I am getting the vapors now. I am not sure how much longer I can hold all this emotion back. I love you all - My weird and wacky Second Family I need another tissue... Thanks Cinn Let's see... I tried to use comedy, redirection, sarcasm and emotional manipulation. I inserted a picture (not an lol cat) and even a poem. I still need more strategies...

This is the kind of relationship we use to have with LL? Two different Lindens? With actual personalities? In the same thread? Answering questions for residents and actually being involved? Wow... Unbelievable

Avatars under 6' are not child avatars. Avatars under 7' ARE child avatars. Avatars over 8' are normal. Avatars over 4' are giants. - state your positions upfront please. Undecided voters can GTFO now, or be forever scarred by the horrors soon to follow. Please put on your own flame-retardant before applying flame retardant to the child AV seated next to you. Popcorn will be served during the intermission. I'm sorry, but the show's already started and its too late to get up to get some. The 4096m high club needs to wait until we hit page 11 to qualify. Hahaha!!! Well said! /me finds her flame-retardant outfit and starts the popcorn popper. Cinn P.S. You should repeat this post as often as needed.

You know, Miss Sherlock Peggy Holmes, that you now have to answer ALL those questions when they are asked on these forums, right? You boredom benefited us all and I enjoyed reading your journey of discovery. It is always a good feeling when you find a solution to a problem, especially if it was hard won. You deserve a nice slice of pie and a warm cup of coffee. Well done! Cinn Edited to fix a really bad spelling error Edited again - oh for crying out loud - I can't spell - must be bedtime

Randall Ahren wrote: SL in contrast makes you feel special. In RL most of us are nothing out of the ordinary and maybe even below average in many categories. But when we come in world, we can be anything we want, limited only by our imagination. We can fly and leap tall buildings and be better than we are. The Facebook wall intrudes on that and reminds us that we're not special. That's why eliminating resident names was so unpopular. When you're born, someone else sticks you with a name. But in SL we could pick and choose and find something that fits and makes you unique in a way that you like. That's why Disneyfying SL didn't work. Disneyfying tries to make us all normal. We're not normal. We're misfits. That's why we're here. We think different. Wow, Randall. Nicely said! /me raises a hand, "Hello, my name is Cinnamon and I am a misfit. I like being a misfit, seeing the world differently and I like meeting people just as weird as I am. Thank you."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... /me wipes away a tear... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Classic!!!

LOL - Perrie!!! You really have kept your hands busy with all those combinations of clicking. Good strategy! Cinn

It's gettin' hot in herrrrrrrre.... /me starts peeling layers off and looking for the firehose... And puts away the hairspray - safety first. Cinn P.S. I do not find any of this to be harassing, or inciting, or flaming or trolling. As far as I can tell it is just differing perspectives on the same issue. Carry on.

A sense of community? Interesting topic for these forums (for more than 1 reason). I will answer the one I think your asking. I have been a member of several different communities since I first logged in. SL is fluid and constantly changing, so the groups I have joined change constantly, too. Sims open and close, rp stories start and fail, clubs come and go, groups grow and shrink, friends log in then disappear. It is constant change. I have joined a few groups that I really enjoy, but none I go exclusively to and none that I feel completely accepted by. That is probably my own fault. However, ALL of the individuals I've met inworld and in these forums enrich my life - I like the diversity and banter. My world is much bigger and more exciting because I have the opportunity to meet so many different characters from so many different places. Come to think of it, maybe I don't want to be part of just one community... Maybe it is perfect just the way it is - my ever-changing inworld experience, where I am free to come and go, agree and disagree, disappear for a few days, then start all over with something new. I can still keep and foster the friendships I have and just let my circle grow and shrink as the changes occur. I can be fluid, too. Cinn

Yes! We need a few more guys to post over there. We have a lot of beautiful ladies and only a few beautiful guys (and I, for one, am very glad to see every pic they post). Lane - I expect to see a post over there soon. The Kang must be seen to be appreciated. Cinn

Dresden Ceriano wrote: >snip< I believe this extends to a VW's forum as well. Sure you (not specifically) could wipe out any and all contentious content to your hearts content (including humor), but what are you left with? I place that lacks the excitement needed to draw people in to participate in the first place. If this is LL's strategy concerning the forum, then they can continue doing that and continue driving people away until all they have left is a boring, sanitized wasteland of nothing but lolcatz and hypersensitive idiots. >snip< ...Dres We can only guess what LL's strategy regarding the forums is since all we have are Community Guidelines that are a little vague. It seems it would be a bit counterproductive to wipe ALL contentious content away. We are all still feeling our way around and guessing at where the line is drawn today. I still post my concerns in the Feedback Forum when I feel like it even knowing it may never be read by anyone.

Roseysun Galicia wrote: Are you going to continue having the Adult Forum User Group meetings? Or will you close that meeting group as well and shift everything to the Adult Forums? Hi Roseysun - Good question. You might want to ask that question in the Adult Forum. I am pretty sure there is an actual Linden in there to read and answer your question. I am not sure how often they visit this one. Cinn

I forgot to babysit this thread... How is it going in here? Are we all playing nicely? I thought the CTUG meetings were announced in the Forum Feedback Forum. Was I misinforumed? (I know I just made that word up, but it has a nice ring to it). I never went to one because they happened while I was at work. So, I thank all of you who could go for being my voice and giving up some of your time to try to make this a better place for all residents. It is too bad that route is now closed to us... Cinn

I finally thought of a family tradition. As I previously stated, we are not planners. Everything is thrown together at the last minute and has always worked out great. We do, however, have one tradition that is the same every year. It happens to be our tree. It starts out as a normal Christmas tree with all the typical decorations - colorful lights and balls, icicles, 12-days of Christmas ornaments, apples, pickles and pink flamingos (that's what everyone uses, right?) BUT... It is not completed until the end of the month. Everyday a few new things are added. We might wake up in the morning to find a stuffed animal, fishing lure, cat collar, internet memes(decorated, of course), faux flowers, beads or whatever random object we like at the moment (I think I remember finding a gold spray-painted sock one year.) By the end of the month you can barely tell there is a tree underneath. I LOVE this about my family and I hope my kids will continue it with their own families someday. The other tradition is that we never use the same tree topper. It is always hand-made by someone in the family. This years tree-topper was designed by my oldest daughter. I will attach a picture of the tree as it stands now, and, if I remember to, I will attach another picture of what it becomes by the end of the month. Cinn

Nope. There is no way to hide your online status - not even by unchecking boxes. In fact, in some viewers your friends will be able to tell if you are trying to hide. You will still show up online in your groups. You CAN use the away message if you don't want to be bothered. Cinn

Ohhhh!!! Here it is!!! I forgot you asked to move the thread. I am counting down the days, Hippie. Can't wait! Cinn

I kinda like Vista Animation's Dangerous Girl AO. Not over girlie and just a little Bad-a$$.

I share free hugs, Storm. Do you need one? I have been told they last just long enough to make you a bit uncomfortable... @Ciao - Niiiice!

My bestest SL friend (I am not sharing him ladies and gents - he's all mine) and I as he teaches me how to use the windlight settings, after Maddy told me where they were, for the first time: and here is the best pic I got. Apparently I should have paid attention to which setting this was, but I have no idea... Something about toxic water and London in the future... I think...

Beautifully stated, Perrie... And I'll second that. Cinn

I am not feeling the love here, Derek. Where's my warm fuzzy feeling? I need a hug, Cinn
