Can you remember Where you were Dumped?

/me thinks this is a hopeless task...but enjoys watching, nonetheless.
(you missed one...it's over there, under the table...oh wait, the squirrel got it, never mind.)

He called me a worm

Good point. That would have to do with an individual's belief system. The first answer that ran through my mind was "my thoughts of you." But then what is fornication to one is a worshipful act of love to another. What is immoral? It's not my place to say.

Maureen , have you been playing with the prim attachements again? You look like a radiant woman when I saw you last.

I was telling Maureen that Joseph called me a worm.

That sounds more like the Ambat infohub than Ahern. Do these pics look familiar?





It's changed a bit since that last pic was taken (two years ago). More rugs and cushions there now I think.

DOH!

Thank you, Yosef, for the lovely compliment! Those prim attachments can be the devil to sort out.



I cannot speak for Joseph, Lexxi, but I think he was doing some serious tap dancing...not calling you a worm!!! Not you!!! If anyone's a worm, it is I for putting Joseph on the hot seat. (that is way too many mixed metaphors, even for me.)

Awww...you're not a worm...far, far from it...as is Maureen

That, and how could I consider stuffing you or Maureen in a can?

I just ain't makin' this any better...am I?

/pry's Yosef's mouth open to see if he can find and steal some of those smooth, silky phrases...

They wouldn't pick on you if they didn't like you. They would either ignore you or beat the crap out of you verbally. We have very capable, strong women on this forum. It's best to just stay out of their way sometimes.

The best thing to say when you aren't making things better is, "I'm just keepin' it real, Dog." Nobody has even the slightest idea what that means, including me, but it sounds good. The second best thing is to find a foxhole and lay low. The best thing for all of us guys is if you keep struggling, because that keeps the heat off of us and we get to point and laugh at you because it's your turn in the hotseat.

/me pulls up a chair and a bag of popcorn and tosses some snacks to the other forum men. Check it out guys! Joseph is getting pummeled!

Trout just called me a dog

I tp'd off Orientation Island into a shiny, metalic covered patio in Korea....


There was a free outfit for men and another for women...and nearby was a city full of big buildings.....all empty. Outside the patio was a group of people, gothy-vampire looking with wings, all cussing, swearing, and calling each other names. As that type of thing isn't my thing (nothing against it, just not for me) I went flying around, as far as I could, and came across some sort of reference to the Cucoo's Egg in a sandy desert.

Then I found the search, and the events tab, and saw there was a mardi gras party at a place called the Bayside Beach Galleria. I was 3 hours early, but sat there and waited, in my ruth-ful newbie self. JulieAnna and Jenna, the hostesses, told me about Free Dove, GNUbie Mall, and a few other newbie freebie places, and I spent the next few days shopping.

I learned how to reset my home quickly, and lived in the alleyways of Bayside Beach Galleria for a few weeks, changing clothing behind a large potted plant.

wow, a long way in a year, huh?

Trout just called me a dog...

Let me just point out that many dogs rip trouts to shreds and eat them, bones notwithstanding. So, you go girl, rawr!

Anyway, Mauve. One of the uglier and most useless infohubs ever created. There were never many people there, except griefers with cages, and many seemed to be Spanish-speaking. I learned how to use Search very quickly!

I didn't figure out for quite a while that it was possible to set my "Home" elsewhere.
.

I don't think so ladies...I think he called me the dog, but I'm a tiger...and mentioned a fox...but he's a Trout...

...and neither of you are worms...

So, is all of this a lark?
Or just a red herring?
I'd hate to think we're all on a snipe hunt.
However, I think we can get it to dragon...(heh...get it? Dragon? Drag on? Kind of trying to tie it into that Dragons thread? heh?)
/ducks out of the way of flying shoes and popcorn...

I wish I could remember the place as I've always wanted to go back. I came in with three friends (only two of us remained). We played forever on the fishing boat before forming a group so we wouldn't "lose each other" when we stepped through the gate. LOL

We all ended up in a really nice park with lots of people -- from new to experienced. It was very much an "artificial" park, way too perfect landscaping (even by SL standards) but nice. Good people.

I received a coke and a cigarette, as did my friends. Someone chastised my friend for smoking and she said, "Hey, this doesn't kill!"

I remember wanting to hug my friends and when I voiced this, someone said I could by typing !hug (name). What they didn't tell me was that I needed the Hug/Kiss Tool to initiate the animation. BUT, another guy was happy to "hug" me.

I logged out thinking, "that's kind of cool", and then spend the first couple nights roaming around the region thinking that was "it". I remember seeing a vampire avatar and wanting to talk to him but he was walking so fast! LOL

Oh, and I remember being in a hair salon. using the sit pose and getting a hair brush in my inventory. I didn't know how to give it back after using it so thought for the longest time I stole it.

Memories...

I think I first appeared in Ahern. The place was empty. Just rolling green hills and a trail of signs. No fancy pavilions or planters or park benches. I was alone. Eventually, I found signs of life near the old Event Board.

The Event Board was a sign that gave out notecards of that day's events. It was a brief notecard, because most days we had around 8 events the whole day. Sometimes, we would just hang out near the board, waiting for a Linden to put in the latest notecard. This was basically how Ahern became a popular hangout and SL's de facto town square.

my first step off of oi took me to some random place (and I was not ready to leave, I was trying to get to the help island)

so a linden put me back on the oi, tried again to get to hi, ended up some other random mainland place

3 times they put me back, 3 times I did not make it to hi
so I just gave up and wildfire (mentor that was helping me at the time) took me to his place to start my mainlife experience hehe

I later found out, that rarely do they put ppl back on the oi, let alone 3 times LOL

First place I landed was the Isabel infohub. From there into The Shelter.

Many thanks to the good folks at The Shelter for getting my SecondLife started in a positive way.

First of all, I love your sig. Hilarious. I've become the Dr. Ruth of SL, only not in a cute grandmotherly way and without the funny accent.

I have similar memories. I was pretty sure I stole a torch from OI. I wanted to steal a Segway but couldn't figure out how. After that section of OI, I figured SL was like a giant city with streets leading everywhere and everyone drove around in goofy cars and on Segways. I got to the main grid and hopped in the first car I could find. Then the second, third, etc. None of them worked because I didn't own them. Some carjacker I am.

/me GROANS...

I started life as an alt, and was comfortably offered a teleport to my main's home.

My original main AV, however, was dumped on some kind of racetrack and run over by a car while the place was still rezzing into focus. It was traumatic, I tell you.

Don't be offended! Take it as a compliment! Dogs are AWESOME!

OMG I forgot about the emptyness Teeny...... and remember the Lindens making hourly announcements for events?

Sounds like heaven compared to Ahern now.

... and a little like OLG. (which isn't like heaven at all.)
