Do you worry about your partner once the sl world shuts down for the night? You know, what I mean... suppose, you've just had an intimate moment and he's told you his whatsit looks like the EiffelTower and fireworks night... but then it goes deathly quiet.

Gulp! Uh Oh...

And you start to wonder to yourself - "Is he alright? Is he breathing? What did teh excitement of the moment do to him?" "Are you still there?" Silence.

Has that ever happened to you? What happens if you've killed him with kindness? And his hearts done a donnerandblitzen. Wha' then?

Would it be murder? Or accident?
Has this happened to you?
Coz, I was just wandering.

Perhaps his wife walked in and he had to hit the mute button and bring up a window full of safe material?

Or maybe you gave him a heart attack, and he's sitting there with a big smile?

Yes, I'd worry.

I do worry about people I know and care for slipping off the grid with never another word of where they have gone. Only not in the moment, if you know what I mean.

:) Jig I very much enjoy some of your slang. hehehehehe... done a donnerandblitzen... very interesting phrase.

I was kicked out of SL three times last night doing nowhere near so interesting an activity. Saw my flickering modem lights come to a complete stand still to explain it. I'd say the simplest explanation is usually correct.

Unless it happens regularly. :eek: Then I'd say you merely knocked him out for a little involuntary nap.

I do worry about ppl I have and am close to in Sl when I log out. When I see news articles that are about the places they live, the men and women in the forces who are deployed. I dont worry about the sex issues as its of very little issue to me so in that case no I dont wonder if something has happened.

Nope, I don't worry about it at all.. since the partner is usually sitting at his computer next to mine.

But I've had chats where the other has gone dead on me. Usually, it involves the words, "I tried to do something, but SL crashed."

I always assume that first and foremost. Unless I know a hurricane or natural disaster has occurred in their area.

I'll bet that his fireworks shot off and he was sitting there in stunned silence...

wondering how he was going to get that out of his keyboard.

Well if he is a guy maybe he just got his and logged off. They do that sometimes. ;)

Or maybe some lady cleaner called Frankie will opn the door to a basement apartment one day and find his shivered bones and mommified skintags flunched over a computer console. One hand on his mouse and the other hand on something that looks like a mouse. Lol!

Thankyou so much for that stunning mental image. I can picture the grinning skull head, and moldy bag of chips next to the keyboard.
mmmmm..chips..

If you are going to insist on hanging around with father figures then the likelihood of a life-terminating event is going to be significantly higher than if you were enjoying social intercourse with a txting youth.

Pep (On the other hand, perhaps he had accused someone of having slightly plump thighs and her wishes of cancerous mortality for him had been fulfilled.)

Are you sure? :)
I mean, in sl, there's a lotta opportunities - metaverse hunksters and real life dangers.

Nothing like a gristly biker for a little late night skin-flicking when the old man's making zzzzzzzs. :)

If I remember right, Jig has mentioned that her Hal is a bit on the elderly side, so this very well might be the explanation.

It is also possible that rather than hollering downstairs, mom actually decided to GO downstairs and therefore emergency action was needed on his part.

:D

Wouldn't you have to call someone to have his body carried out to the guest house?

You mean there's no chance of an intimate moment, so this isn't a problem? :p

The fireworks were so good, he fell off the bed. Clean up is important, if he forgot a towel then its off to the shower for him. Doesn't want to mess up his keyboard. If you were that good, don't worry he will be back for more.

My dogs are notorious for getting into closets. I'd be worried about keeping anything edible on the bottom 2 shelves of the closet...

I do worry about the people I care about in SL. If someone abruptly logs off, I always tell myself it is just the internet or computer crashing...


...but I still worry until I see them again. :)

No, I've never worried about being the entertainment for a group of people on the other end. I always spend my intimate moments with people I trust. ^_^
