[FITTED MESH - Tell me what you think?]

I am amused and annoyed that fitted mesh bodies don't work with the rigged mesh clothes of so-called Stadard sizes when the body is adjusted to meet the Standard specs. Some of these bodies and many of the clothes are from the same minds behind the Standard sizes. Have a considerable investment in clothes for the old school bodies so I am in no hurry to spend more money for a body for for other clothes.

Counting time on the Teen Grid, I've been in Second Life for about eight years, starting as part of a therapist-guided program to overcome phobias and general therapy. It has worked pretty well, if I do say so myself, and I've continued because SL is now most of my socialization and recreation. Instead of staying indoors because of various fears, I now do so as I'm the main caregiver for my elderly step-mother. Being on-call 24/7 with infrequent trips outside the home would be far more difficult if I couldn't use Our World for a change of scenery. As fast as I can log in and at the speed of Ethernet cables I'm in another nation, flying in fantasy worlds, or sitting with others to chat about being a caregiver or just about anything. Sometimes I'll park my avatar in a comfy spot in a forest somewhere, a "tablet computer" in her hands, and then kick back in my real life chair with a real life tablet to do some reading. Second Life is a great escape and then some. I hope you come to see this, too.

I had much the same issue in Nangrim. My brother and I owned some 2/3 of the whole mainland region. A Brazilian casino bought 2048m^2 of land then added another 1024m^2. Soon they kept the sim filled 24/7. I had to sit on the sim edges to manage the business I ran. Eventually, I cammed in and set all my land for sale. My brother did the same. Our only consolation is that the casino paid us a fortune – well more than what it was worth – and within a week gambling was banned. We were able to buy back a couple small lots dirt cheap and we still have land there now.

[Problem with Terrain Textures in Firestorm and Viewer3 using an IMac]

Terrain textures look fine on my iMac regardless of the viewer. You might want to try a "clean install" — two words that seem to always be associated with Firestorm and Phoenix. Clear the cache in your Official Viewer first as well as the Group Cache (Advanced menu). Good luck!

[LL is nice too, at times :)]

Every Linden I've spoken to in-world or worked with in-world has been wonderful. Customer service in Live Chat, however, has made me drop all but one of my Premium memberships.

A tip that usually works for me: Change your "bald" layer. It is sometimes called an "eyebrow shaper," too. Just change to a different one and back. If you don't have one or don't know where one is, just search your inventory for "bald" and something will turn up.
