Darn! I am out.... I don't have old money, I don't really enjoy dressing up, I am divorced, I work and shopping isn't really my thing. I DO like to socialize and chat though. Does that count? I am up for anything rebellious if that was your main intent. I suppose I could pretend to like all that stuff, but then it wouldn't be fun. Darn! I am out...

If I decided to leave SL cold-turkey, I would not want to receive an email from anyone asking why. I do blend RL and SL to a certain extent, but if I didn't give my SL friend my RL contact info, then I don't want them to contact me out of SL. There is already a Facebook option if people choose to give the info out. You would have to be extremely careful of stalkers. Many just create new avi's or persona's and move on. They have their reasons. I would not opt-in and I certainly wouldn't pay to have someone reach out and touch me if I chose to leave. Yes, I have had friends (some with sad stories) disappear, but that was THEIR choice to go.

According to the bible: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I, however, have no religious beliefs so I will go with Howard Thurman on this one: "Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale... Love loves; this is its nature." For the more cynical I would go with The J. Geils Band's 1980 song "Love Stinks"

Hi Hippie. I love a campfire. I brought shish-kabobs to your little potluck. I have plenty to share. I also brought some free hugs to give away to show a little love. I am a little lost here. In fact, I am not sure I will even be able to find this thread again. So, I will just say welcome back to all who have been away....

If you're tanned, look for tanned skins. If you're thin and short, create a thin and short shape. Got brown eyes, get brown eyes. It might be labour and search intensive but it would be something you created yourself... and what better thing to create yourself than yourself. ^ This is what I did. Even though I hate shopping, I found avatar parts that were as close to me as I could find. I am always keeping my eyes open for that perfect hairstyle or eye color. I also have a friend who is making a skin for me. I will really look like my avi when it is done, but it has been a lot of fun searching for all the separate pieces. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
