Heard that one a few times too many.

I've been discovering just how much I have forgotten in 4 years. I just know Miro, Robo and the rest of the support team are laughing their butts off every time I ask a question I should know the answer to. It's amazing what you can forget even after repeating it every day 12 - 18 hours a day* for 5 years. *Yes, I know. I was a glutton for punishment.

Tell me something I haven't known for a few decades.

I was thinking pull my finger but maybe not. Nope, definitely not.

Meh. I don't celebrate any holidays. I just celebrate the equinoxes and solstices. That they happen to fall close or on certain holidays is mere co-incidence.

The ones my parents had, when I was a child, always sounded like lions roaring to me.

Born on a mountain Raised in a cave Biking and... Oh wait. Can't say that here. I've been living in Oregon since 2006. I'm never leaving. It's too beautiful here to ever want to move to another state again.

And then there are those of us who can't use mouselook due to TBI. It used to freak people out when I would win at jousting because I can't use mouselook and didn't. They'd all insist that mouselook was a must in jousting. I proved them wrong.

Hm. I must not have looked as closely as I thought. Either way, 223 days without sun is a load of horse hockey. It's just flat not true. We have way more days of sunshine, even partly sunny, than that. Where I live is a little bit warmer than Colorado then and I live a stone's throw from the Coast Range (we can see the foothills from the driveway), due west of Portland. We didn't go far when we moved last year. From Beaverton to Forest Grove. We like it here so much better. ETA: For the first time in my life, I've actually had a conversation about weather. A real conversation, not just how's the weather.

Or "backups" purchased at Good Will. Who the heck needs 5 (yes FIVE) freakin coffee makers?!

Maybe not everyone but for me, my RL other half DJs in SL so if I want to listen I can just grab his stream. Or I can just sit here and listen to him singing along with a song or two. He's really the only DJ I listen to because he is an "old school" DJ. He DJs the way it's done on a radio station that you listen to on your car radio. It's just my personal preference as is not granting experience permissions when confronted with "accept or leave". I'll just leave as there are plenty of sims to enjoy that don't have experiences. At least, the ones I've visited since I've been back haven't offered me any experiences that I've noticed. I think it really boils down to personal preferences. That's not something an experience creator will ever have any "control" over.

Hmm. If you add up the days for Portland it comes out to 284 days. That leaves only 81 days of partly cloudy to cloudy days. Less than 3 months. Oregon is a bit further north of the equator than Colorado so that does have an effect. New Orleans gets about 438 days of sunshine and is much further south than either Colorado or Oregon. https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Louisiana/annual-days-of-sunshine.php Naturally, the closer you are to the equator, the more sunny days you have. When I moved to Oregon in October 2006, it rained the whole winter and we had an "Indian Summer" that year. I don't think I saw the sun more than 2 or 3 days that winter. That hasn't happened since. I often find myself wishing/praying for rain. Especially in summer when it doesn't rain past June until late September/early October. Because it just gets too freaking hot but thankfully not as hot and humid as Lousyana, where I grew up.

Fun facts: Portland gets 44 inches of rain, on average, per year. The US average is 39 inches of rain per year. Portland averages 3 inches of snow per year. The US average is 26 inches of snow per year.

Nah. The weather here is pretty much like it is in Lousyana. I mean Louisiana. Just a tad bit cooler. Highs for the rest of the week in the mid 70s. It doesn't rain here (in Oregon) near as much as what people think. Seattle gets waaaaay more rain than we do. And eastern Oregon is a high plateau desert so...it's pretty hot here in summer. It's not uncommon to have near or above 100F for 2 to 3 weeks in August, high 80s and 90s in July and September. Depending on where your brother lives, there's very little chance of ever running into him. If he lives in Portland... well... we avoid Portland like the plague. A bit too weird for us. lol We're also about 40 miles west of Portland.

Brown round usually works.

Move to western Oregon.

Don't know what is going on. It won't let me insert the image or drag and drop either. So here's the link: http://gph.is/28KNq0k

Mine is "I'm sorry but the number you have dialed is out of order. If I find order in my life I'll get back to you."

Suck up.

I've been around a few decades so you aren't telling me anything I haven't known for a long time. See my reply to Love.

Yes, we are, you little tail swiperer you. Which was the whole point. The problem I had with the OP was the fact that he was "pointing fingers" without taking time to examine his own feelings and reactions with an understanding of why he feels that way instead of sweeping them under the rug.

Nah. Just pointing out that he was being the way he was accusing others of being. You know, the one who screams loudest is most guilty and for every finger he points at others, there are three pointing back at him. Yeah, that.

Making your av invisible won't do you any good. You can still be seen on the minimap and your name tag will still show so they will know you are there. Have the clothing in a folder and right click the folder, then select Replace current outfit. No nudity required.

If it is an RP sim and you are not dressed appropriately for the theme, you usually will get banned if you refuse to dress appropriately. Most RP sims will have freebies you can wear at the landing point, so no excuses.
