    What are you listening to?

    I heard this on another forum; a smart lady named Myf McMahon listed it in a collection of Christmas music and it instantly became part of my tiny collection of favorite Christmas songs. That was about three years ago; it still gets to me.

    How have I not learned this word before now? If the various definitions I found on Google are even close, it's almost the perfect profanity. All-inclusive, gender neutral, the whole bit. I must have it. I suppose I'll have to spend time in Quebec to really get the pronunciation and inflection down pat, though.

    Maybe in the spring.

    What does this mean?

    Thanks. Actually I did see what must have been the second thread, so now I know. She had a remarkably low threshold of agitation, seemed to me. Getting upset at people who did nothing more than point out what she was doing was probably not going to go well.

    I don't do cold very well, so I would not survive (well, I would, but not at all happily) where Tari is.  I do think I may have a new life goal (at least in thought, if not executed) of going to Australia for the northern hemisphere winter months - not just for the warmer temps, but also longer daylight hours.

    So much this. Try as I might I cannot keep from checking the clock when the sun comes over the ridge and thinking something like, "Wow, not til 7:45 now? Just last week it was up by 7:30." I really don't like shorter days.

    On the other hand, I never get flustered thinking I'm not ready and Christmas is coming; I'm buoyed up knowing the solstice is getting closer.

    Now I gotta figure out a formal outfit. Haven't worn one of those in ages.

    Formal?!? And here I was thinking I had an excuse to shop for a new 'Santa's Naughtiest Helper' costume, something I haven't worn in ages :-).

    There's no question that barriers exist preventing first-time users from really having a chance to properly experience Second Life, and as some have mentioned it seems there are more barriers all the time. I don't know how to fix that (I agree that avatar customization methods being simplified would be a massive start) but I don't think that users can do much more than they already are doing. LL has to do that, if it gets done at all.

    That video, however, didn't impress me in the slightest and it certainly wasn't "painful to watch". I gave it a bit over two minutes and bailed; it was just some clown goofing for his audience. Whoopee. The only thing about it that I thought was indicative of a problem with SL rather than a problem with the videographer was that introductory comment:

    "Today we venture forth into one of the most bizarre dating sims on the free internet, Second Life!"

    If he got the idea that SL is first and foremost a 'dating sim', that might just be idiocy on his part (evidence suggests that possibility). I think it's at least as likely that it can be chalked up to the way Linden Lab advertises SL.

    Thanks Dillon!

    (But you don't get full credit until you post a pic of yourself dancing it!!!)

    Oh, for crying out loud.830205456_DilDances.thumb.png.b6db39bbdc858e842a0bdc90ba7a13f3.png

    Does this also count for the Home & Garden thread? It's my front yard. Thanks to all the people driving by who shouted encouragement like, "Get over yourself!". Buncha creeps.

    I'll dance to anything but if you want my best there's only one way to go.

    There's at least am eighty percent chance that the last time I danced one of my animations (as opposed to someone's chim/HUD) it was Akeyo's NINA2_Dance. I bought it years ago and love it. A couple months ago I visited the main store to see what was new; I spent most of an afternoon trying every dance they had. NINA2 (which is still available there) still rules, for me.
