https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-and-selling-Linden-dollars/ta-p/700107 There's a service available at no charge that will direct you to answers to your SL questions. It's called Google.

Thank you, KarenMichelle, and Happy Independence Day to you. It is my favorite holiday in both RL and SL. I seem to be in a bit of a slump regarding being inworld these days, and for the first time since I got here did not celebrate the holiday in Second Life. Missed both Marianne McCann and Hippie Bowman's fireworks shows (which I'm confident happened). I did at least celebrate it in RL by flying my beautiful Bennington flag (I have ancestors from the time of the Revolution buried in Bennington, so the flag is special to me) and glorious it looked as it waved in the coastal breeze. Cheri, you'd better be careful. We'll make a seppo out of you yet if you keep showing up at the holiday parties (I remember talking to you at Hippie Bowman's fireworks show last year). :-)

US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. I just like to see you try open carry with out a CCW license in a state that have that for a law, you`ll be fine and your gun takeing from you. This will be my last post here. Then I won't bother pointing out why the scenario you describe (so eloquently) in no way contradicts anything I wrote.

Of course not! No state law can override the Constitution. Since you specifically mentioned gun laws I assume you are talking about the Second Amendment, which includes among other things "....the right of the people to keep and bear arms....". Even though that does not specifically say 'FIREARMS', it is taken to mean them and in fact most historians agree that's what the framers meant. No state can pass a law forbidding the possession or use of firearms. It would be struck down in seconds the first time it was challenged. US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. If you're talking from the NRA side and making reference to laws restricting the type of firearms that can be purchased and possessed, I'm afraid you're quite wrong. Those laws do not violate the Second Amendment in any way, shape, or form. Edited multiple times for sentence structure and wording. Not one of my best written posts.

Wow, who'da thunk it? I respond to someone who I'd seen asking some basic questions elsewhere and whose question in this particular OP had already been answered, suggesting two ways of getting quick answers about SL elsewhere in the future. It's been my experience that new users do not all realize much good SL info is findable with Google. And for that I am called something that the censors bleeped, a BITTER BETTY, and a ranter. More than a year after the fact, I might add. It seems I must have crossed you in another identity somewhere, since I'm pretty sure I've never met Estevan Preiss (a situation I hope is never altered).

Nice to see you. :-)

Oh, and if you don't mind drinking right from the can, I won't have to wash the spoon. Hands Alwin a Paula Dean Soup Master to warm up the Clostridium botulinum flavored soup... Oh sure, help him to warm his last meal. I'd say you're as bad as she is but I know you couldn't possibly achieve that status.

I don't think we need more options. I just think you need to exercise some of the options you already have.

Oh, you can argue, Snugs. You just can't win the argument. :-)

Because sha na nana.

Could be worse. Could have invited the Americans. That would have really set people off! ;-)

As I am both a US Navy brat AND a US Navy parent, you can imagine the incredible internal struggles I had to fight through to actually think kindly of a Kiwi like you ;-).

Cheers to you, and thank you for making my day, and for making me laugh. Good to know you high-powered earth-shaking CEOs get a moment away from the grind now and then.:-) ps: If by any chance you have some suggestions or can point Callum at someone who can help with the problem that would be really cool.

Not to distract from your partner's problem (and yes, it does sound like he was phished, not hacked, and Amethyst's suggestions are the ones I'd pursue if I was in that boat) but while the Lindens did disappear from this forum around 2010 they have returned with some frequency since Ebbe took over. In fact, Ebbe himself is probably the most frequent Linden visitor and has a post count of 122 (a lot of which are in various more technical sections than the GD but he's been here, too). Good luck with the account.

(edited for spacing) Wow. Thank you for so emphatically taking yourself off the list of people I respect. While I do find what Marigold wrote to be quite contentious, I wouldn't necessarily write her off as unworthy of any sort of respect. Most people who are politically conscious and human have fantasized about the destruction of their political adversaries. It's not difficult to understand that someone, when highly emotional, would blurt out or write that they wished such-and-such would just die, without actually advocating that something of the sort should actually take place. I have no idea how Marigold actually feels, but, I've known her long enough to be able to give her the benefit of the doubt and understand that she probably wouldn't actually advocate for the death of a fellow human being simply to prop up her own political position... maybe that's just me. ...Dres I might have over-reacted, Dresden. Marigold lives in a nation that may have never seen a head of state assassinated. It's been more than four hundred years since they've even had one executed by quasi-legal proceedings. The very idea of assassination may seem mere fantasy to her. You and I live in a country that has had four heads of state murdered in less than 200 years, to say nothing of many assassinations of lesser political figures—a sitting or former governor in your state, a presidential candidate in mine. That kind of talk here is not considered acceptable joking: it's happened for real too damned often. Your tolerance does you credit.

Not by me, of course, but by the people whose stuff I totally ripped off in this picture.

Marigold Devin wrote: Oh its really not so bad - although, when you think about it, based on what I've discovered so far, it probably means our avatars look even younger than the bot thinks we look! I mean, for example, this bunch of random guys I used to know were all under 25 years old - the young Mick Jagger lookalike on the left was about 19 I think. Wow, dead-on with the "Mick Jagger lookalike". I've seen some early Stones clips (okay, yes, I saw them at the time, too. Shut up.) in which Mick and that guy might as well be twins.
