Torley, you should meet Ted Wingnut or my Uncle Jack Flytrap. Uncle Jack lives in the Home for Aged Pirates in Grignano, and Ted, who never gets out of his pajamas these days, lives in a trailer. Ted is channeled by Edward Manray and is the step-father of noted author Emma Metropolitan (whose books are in Grignano Books). Uncle Jack, granted, has never materialised from the aether - but he COULD if he really wanted to.
Ted is a feisty little man.

Ted is a feisty little man. I should!  What's the name of Salazar Jack's grandma's name? She's very nice. |

Third Age Grid

Love this idea - lol, but how about a little 'Third Age' grid for those of us who are too old to remember what it was we were supposed to be shocked about in the first place?

From: Torley Linden Where are all the old folks's homes in Second Life? Lush retirement places where Avatars live out their Golden Years. And I have great difficulty finding elderly-appearing avatars too. I once went on a search for some wizened monks...
I volunteer my father from a parallel timeline, time-travel aside. I've always thought an old folks/retirement home role playing sim would be a big hit. Put on your senior avis and play checkers and shuffleboard. Dance to old bebop. It would be a hoot.

The Geezer Grid should contain several staring windows and be wheelchair accessable. Also nap time.  |

umm yeah thats why you make islands an bann people if there banned they cant TP to it.. mite want to think about it if your having so much trouble .. also if you get anof people together you can make a big part.. get people you know an people you know this is a good idea an make a sim place off the side of the map or somthing .. saves you from asking lindens plus.. other people you know thats over the age of 30 .. would have more fun .. but one warning .. you mite want to have a sand box sim for building, because if you have to go to the main land to build .. boom griffer xD so have fun with your none griffer dreams .. P.S. if you dont liek a griffer go get somthing to freeze them the'll leave you alone for now on i bet ya .. ...V.. PEACE (( ^_^))

Greifers suck, I totally agree. Not all youth are greifers, some are very intelligent, witty, & well mannered young ladies and gentlmen, who actually appreciate the advice and guidance from the mature population in SL. Please I beg you to reconsider. Maybe start a new group and have gatherings once a month to talk about your grandkids or a new denture product on the market(of course not limited to these topics). The SL youth may not always show thier appreciation of you, but there will be a point in thier lives when they look back and say, "Oh damn they did warn me about that".

Has anyone here read Samuel Marchbank by Robertson Davies? He talks about "geezerkraft." I had to search my own blog because I couldn't remember the name of the book - it's very funny.
