MoiselleErin Teardrop

I got the same message from someone... I was disappointed though cause my avatar thought it was real love - she even shaved her taint for the occasion. WELL... see if she does any drastic beauty measures ever again for some spammer.

Now that mega-torus flexi-sculpted mesh whatever, Christ please don't give LL any more brilliant ideas... Put an alpha texture on it and SL would die. Gone, finished, put underground in a bye-bye box. Losing her *bleep* under the bleachers... You can say it, she lost her box under there. IM me for further details about this box. The big 20 questions though that is actually a good idea. What about all the beachfront properties in SL that people try to rent out in the land forums or whatever? I mean beach-front is the default in SL if not a skycage. I wanted a piece by the ROAD and had a heck of a time finding one. Ugh I cannot get with it tonight

Yeah sure I will get right on that. It is like, "would you like to borrow my toothbrush in RL as well?"

We all been griefed - the deform anims we got as shameful n00bs, being cussed out, particles, prims, graphic card crashers, whatever... But now sometimes things happen and you wonder if the person is TRYING to grief but in a non-evident fashion. Like one time I will never forget - I was in the middle of a nice park called Leonard's Field, with a friend, teaching her how to make money in SL. Well between laughing at the man's stupid desires and joking with my friend about it, I got bored so I looked up an old friend. She owns this church sim... After the "It's been a while" part of the chat, she asked if I wanted to come over and hear Ham sing (church songs). ~WOULD~ I? I would give the skin off my areolas for that privledge. not... QUICK ERIN! Think of some stellar excuse why you cannot go and listen Ham sing about salvation! "Well I am with client". No, that won't work. "Well my viewer is crashing" yeah, right at THIS moment... "Phillip Linden is asking me why I should be the new owner of SL" Not likely... I forget what I finally said but I felt weird about it. Especially since I had to forego hearing Ham sing a beautiful song that would have moved a stone hard man to tears. Especially if it were a soft man listening like say Richard Simmons, he would have had to find a fat person to hold hands and sob uncontrollably. THEN, I was in voice another time, teaching another friend why it is not really necessary to buy L$ but can be earned qucik and easy, anyways the three of us were in voice. I was doing OK until she said something that included "...slapping my chin". Umm, I laughed loud enough that in RL, car alarms went off, lights came on, dogs started barking, security did an extra round... I clinically died that night. This is Erin's ghost writing. Now me, I use this fun form of griefing time to time... A friend or someone will have a question and i will send them to talk to the most annoying people I know (besides myself). Oh this is MOST fun to do in RL at work. You know that guy at work NO ONE wants to run into cause he NEVER shuts up? So like, when people put you in really awkward spots, is it a form of griefing or is it just hilarity on their part? Share your stories of good humor :D

When I do end up purchasing garbage, IF I bother to review it, I will at least say what needs improved. Usually if I don't like something, I tend to figure it is probably just cause it was not what *I* expected. That and people who sell junk are impossible to get ahold of anyways. Good products and good service go hand in hand, kind of like junky stuff and bad service.

Someone pulled the plug on Sprigsteen and McCartney? Were they like on life support? I mean I know they are as old as time but I had no clue they were on life support. Whey did someone pull the plug? I mean did they die or did they just make that funny face like the sick little girl on the movie "airplane" when the musician accidently knocks out the breathing pipe hooked to that girl? While we are at it - yes Springsteen is "the Boss" and Paul is a "Sir" In the UK, if Paul got a sex change, would he then be formally titled a "Ma'am"? And as Bruce is "the Boss", he is a good singer, I will say that. Except his screaming on "Bone in the USA". But that begs the question - if a singer really sucks, like some one hit wonder that no one cares about say like Vanilla Ice - should his nickname be "the Employee"? EDIT - if a singer's popularity determines their professional title, then I guess Kevin Federline (K-Fed) would then be called "The Unemployed" I am sorry to hear about the passing away of Bruce and Paul. Thank you Sir and Boss for your musical contributions that enriched the lives of music lovers.

Dillon - DAMN GURL you are NOT BS'ing! I hate dem women who do that! Damn hoes be comin up in my face be thinkin I was messin with they MAN and I am like "B**** I gots my OWN man and don't need yo needle-d*** excuse of a man who don't pay his chil suppot on dem 3 kids he had with dat hoe who lives down the street!" Dem hoes better RECOGNIZE. Solaria - If you would have read Amethyst response, you would be able to ascertain what the OP was asking about... but since you DIDN'T bother to read, I will go ahead and explain - DelGray was trying to figure out why Triangle man hates Particle man and Person man. I mean you KNOW Triangle man started the fights. Never goes into detail about WHY. Person man is a mess as it is and doesn't need a beat-down from some hater like triangle man. Notice how he didn't f*** with Universe man though. Sure Universe man is big as the universe and kind to smaller men but since Triangle man seems to hate everyone, well... Here is the story - Let me know if I can calrify anything else.

sorry i was not able to help but here is another alternative - If you HAVE to ditch AE WORX, then what you might be able to use for doors is something called "timeless door script" and in the windows just use a texture changing script, dump your textures in it, voila. The problem with using a centralized control system in something is if it fails, the whole build is screwed. OK I will shut up now and maybe someone can come along with better answers than I can.

probably but not like anyone will read it anyways. What happened anyways? Unless it is something hardcore serious like age play or someone hacking a sim then it will probably get "filed" once it reaches the complain DEPT.

It is kind of hard to say. Say you are breaking $1,200 a year on your business. I doubt the IRS is going to send the leg breaking squadron to your house. $100 a month is chump change.Usually people who find their asses in the hot seat with the IRS are those who are making serious cash. They probably won't be at your house asking where you got the money to eat out of junk food vending machines. Of course on the other hand - In the bible, in (ironically called here) Job 1 - 21, the second part of the verse does mention - The Lord gave, and Uncle sam hath taken away. With the whole "intellectual property" thing, that is true but honestly - unless you are using a really well known texture, say like a disney character on bed sheets, copying your own logo after a big company or something, I doubt anyone is going to report you to Gweedo.

I did forget to ask also - Does my avatar look like a newbie? I keep hearing that and I think they are just being poopy-pants.

Is that the same control box they use in those houses crapped out from Inside Studios? Those houses are inexpensive for a reason. I cannot give a specific solutiion on that but here is my experience... The guy that makes those houses is NOT accessable, you are on your own. Those houses are sometimes crappily built.

Are you saying my boss is an opinion? Czari asked if FS served toast and the answer - Yes it does. Right there with eggs over easy and bacon. The toast is buttered using REAL butter, it is cut diagonally, and on your table you will find those little jelly packets of many flavors. The coffee is fresh, the weather is perfect, it is Saturday morning. You are there with a good friend and the restaurant is quiet. When breakfast is done, you pull out your billfold and your friend tells you to put it away cause this one is on her. Good times

Hello, my name is Erin and I joined SL to do a study about online interaction in virtual worlds.I was a member 10 years ago but due to incarceration a new career opportunity in manufaturing license plates, I was away and just came back. I am on the hunt for new friends. I ran into some issues though. First, some avatars have like see-thru parts and someone told me it is cause they are wearing mesh. Does that mean their avatar got an abdominal hernia that is healing? I first saw this cause I was at a dance club with my SL boyfriend. So does having an SL boyfriend mean I am cheating on my RL boyfriend? How do I know he is really a man in RL? What if he wants to meet? I live in the USA and he lives in some country called Zangolia. We REALLY love each other. I can overlook his feminine voice. I had bought something for my SL boyfriend from that market but it never got delivered and the creator won't return my IM's. I am thinking of filing a report. Does my account need to be premium to do this? I don't have a lot of linden money, what is the best way to earn it? I want to look my best for her him, but I don't want to spend any money on a top quality skin, where can I get a free one? If he doesn't want me I have thought about joining a Gor sim where I can practice being a slave in a BDSM RP. Is there any way I can use a money order online to buy Linden dollars? I tried to send cash over the web but it won't fit into my Internet box. OK now for the big question folks - Did I miss anything?

Your avatar is fine. With people telling you how you should look - yep, we all go thru that. It is typically the residents at the one year mark who are the worst about thinking they know it all. People in SL who are older than that just avoid noobs altogether and could care less what someone looks like. I guess it is like a generational thing - the noobs are as kids, the one year SL'ers are like teenagers and early 20's - think they have it together but don't know jack crap, and after about two years, one is settled in their ways and cannot be bothered with silly childish games. With my avatar - she is larger and I don't go out and buy the MOST expensive clothes/hair/etc and no one gives me a hard time. But if you are really concerned about if people will "approve" of your looks - some will, some won't. There is nothing you can do to change that. He is YOUR avatar, present him as you see fit.

Either that or the skins don't look nearly as good once on the avatar.One is often scratching their head and thinking "what happened between the ad and the purchase?" The crap thing for male avatars is finding good skins for cheap is a bit hard to do, whether it was copied or not. Belleza would probably be your best bet in this case, I almost recommended Razzanova but i forgot they have only female skins If it helps with things - no one really looks much at male avatars anyways so you are on the right track for not wanting to invest a lot of money. One to stay away from even if they do have male skins is Noya - though they have semi-decent products at a really good price, they tend to spam to no end.

But, But, but, mesh is the truth, the life, and the way! It is perfect in every way! When the F*** are SL'ers going to realize that the new advances and even the old ones are not going to make the lag and prim issue vanish? many ways to save prims out there but each has a cost. Want to use an Alpha layer on a fancy texture? GREAT, less prims but the overshadowing with other alphas looks ridiculous. Want to use mesh? You better very well know what you are doing, and keep in mind that you are completely blocking out the sector of SL who CANNOT use mesh (like if our computers won't run V3) Plus it may not cut down on prim counts.With clothing, is it REALLY necessary to have mesh for clothes when sculpts work well? I will say this - I have completely quit going to certain shops (and not spending money there) cause all their new stuff is mesh. I cannot use or see it so their mesh crap is completely useless to me. Want to use sculpts? Good luck trying to texture THAT unless you really know what you are doing with a GOOD graphics program. Oh and what about that box around it? Oh yeah just make it phantom, and then you just need a rezzer script. Maybe I am in the stone age but honestly - the standard prim is still the best comprimise of everything. I understand sculpts ARE needed at times. I have used and made them myself. However, people care about only ONE thing it seems - prim count. The hidden lag from scripts, awkward shapes and textures etc, well none of that seems to matter now DOES it?

A lot of things in SL do cost money but SL is not really expensive. $40 a month is more than plenty to be able to buy things you don't want to make or find in freebie lands. If $40 a month sounds expensive, well what about when people pay $100 a month to cable and end up watchin the SAME crap all the time, shows about pawn shops, politics, celebrities who say they saw a ghost, or morbidly obese lard people trying to lose weight?Certain worth plunking down a Benjamin now isn't it? SL gets on my nerves at times, sure. That is when I take time off of it. With the "imagination" part of it, sure we all realize it is not real life but if you can let yourself escape into the fantasy it offers a small percentage of the satisfaction of doing something but with none of the risks (usually) During school in the early 80's when I went to elementary. imagination was encouraged. I think these days they just want to tell kids they are "autistic" if they don't follow the norm or are dreamers. God forbid anyone allow themselves to escape the real world sometimes and try to enjoy a fantasy.

Often times I like to build my own things. Most of what i have is just for props and decor anyways. Sometimes I buy things if it would be too much a pain in the butt to make, say like an adult bed.Sometimes if you had to pay yourself for making the item, it would cost far more than what vendors ask. So like most shoppers, I set out to find the best quality at the best price. I am easy to please really. Of the things I buy - 5 of them I will be estatic about, 4 of them be like, "Well, it is OK for what i paid" and maybe one will be like, "What is THIS piece of crap?" Sadly, sometimes when I pay good money for things from a reputable company here in SL it will be the very thing that i soon learn is junk. I myself am a builder. Not the best but I do know my way around a prim and texture. So, I can scrutinize others' builds a little tighter. But yeah of the 5 "estatic" buys, most likely there were all inexpensive. Sometimes I hand over a boobie for something of perfection like N-Core shoes. Becomes a bit hard to enjoy until the bitterness of the cost wears off. RL I tend to be that way also - I can be happy with something that looks good and works well as intended without the need for bells and whistles. So how do you often feel when buying something off the market? I mean cases where it is delivered, not talking about failures.

Someone said one must learn to entertain themselves in SL (Your world your imagination). Well, this then requires the user to HAVE an imagination. Maybe they could create a social life they cannot enjoy in RL, maybe a ranch with horses, maybe a mansion by the beach, maybe learn to build and one could build their dream home (of any caliber)... If SL could be called a game, then it is a strategy game. It is not something simple. You have to either have book smarts, be a big dreamer, or both. In other words - SL is not for dumb-asses. Let's face it, the world has an overabundance of them. The mistake that us serious residents of SL often make is - we tend to forget that the average person in RL just wants entertainment spoon-fed to them. They don't want to have to think, they don't want to have to learn anything. That is why Television is probably STILL more popular than the Internet. You sit back and drool while the TV is your eyes and ears. In the SL grid, it just isn't really possible for someone to enjoy it if they want to sit there and have everything done FOR them. Sure members share ideas about things but that is what learning is ABOUT. What LL could do for the mindless drones who know cannot be entertained by using their noggin, they COULD create like a different grid where you choose the land to go to and everything is set up but in a different way - It would be more like a standard video game that would require little or no editing of things, Just like say a racing arena where you picked a car and just drove. Or maybe for the FB zombies - a world where you see falling prims and you have to click on as many as you can to "like" them. In other words, a second version of SL that is really watered down from what we know. I will say it again - the general population is too lazy to use their brain for anything except watching garbage on TV or playing ultra-simple games that are no harder than pac-man. An idiot is going to enjoy himself in SL about as much as Ellen Degeneres would enjoy herself at a Chippendale show. EDIT - recently I was telling a friend about SL. He is hooked on that stupid-assed FB and I keep telling him, "...SL..." but his first concern was - I just want a game I can sit down and play outright, I don't want anything complicated". I looked on the computer and he was playing some racing game less complex looking than the 1981 version of Pole Position, and my only thought was, "God help him".

Now Valen that is scary, I will give you that much... However, my home is on the same continent as a place that hates me with a passion. They crap their panties when they see my face. Sometimes i drive by just to flip them off

We're so sorry but we haven't heard a bloody thing all day. We're so sorry, uncle Albert, but if anything should happen we'll give you a ring.

Something fishy about this thread. I mean for real - anyone who has kids pretty much knows kids are gonna do what they want and are certainly not going to ask mother's permission. But if this IS real - Second life is not really a place for kids. Way too much grown-up stuff going on.

YEAH! IN one of my fav arcade games - double dragon II, close to the end of the third round there are cows in the background "Moo'ing" Meanwhile the fight scene is like this - two guys throwing grenades, a guy trying to hit you with a shovel, another guy throwing this log at you, and just a chaotic scene. And all the cows can say is "moo"

I could probably negotiate with my landlord about how to set up security etc, I rent off a private owner on mainland... Anyways instead of orbs or ban lines, I have a new style of security system... I simply put this texture on a prim and that should keep my land safe... it is by the garage in case some theif notices my car and wants to joyride Just let them TRY to mess with my land!
