Tired of Bollywoods yet? Tough!

During construction of The Hangout, there were nasty rumors of bribes and kickbacks from some of our high officials. The finger even pointed toward Co Founder Norse:

In the picture I think Cylindrian might be wearing an outfit of mine, without the ruffles.

Happy ThreadDay, and Happy Birthday to the birthday gals! I usually forget to post birthday wishes, so if I missed yours earlier: Happy Birthday to you too!

I look back over the year, from when this thread was first started, and all the ups and downs, and I realize something.

This thread is not the only thing that has grown.


Thank you

Yes. You are exactly correct. :)

Well, I've not much time online tonight, so I wish all the thread-folk a very pleasant evening, or morning, or what-have-you. I look forward to tomorrow's breakfast, as always.

Happy anniversary thread -- love the post, Rhaorth!

So, um... I guess I should do a weekend write up. Definitely one with ups an downs, though.

Friday I got to find my easter egg in the big Linden easter egg thing in the EggSactly sim. I'm super proud of my egg, an I hope it does well in th' judging! But there are so so many good ones!

It sounds corny to me, but looking at all the other Resident eggs there jes, I dunno, gives me some hope f'r this place. There are jes so many different "takes" on easter eggs there, from people who simply tossed a library texture on the provided egg (and this could be the first time they've even tried to make something in SL!) to those who've done super detailed stuff an really pushed the limits. Mine is somewhere between those posts, I think.



Later on Friday, I decided to poke around the still-under-construction Linden Remembrance Garden. It really is looking nice, for what it is. It was hard to see shrines to the people I called friends, like Kendra or Soj. I'm glad that their passings are takin kinda seriously by LL at one level or another, and that there will be some permanent memorial to them, or at least as permanent as our virtual world can be.

Then *poof* -- an infohub appeared in Bay City. There's been work for some time about getting one built in Hau Koda, but all of a sudden Moose Beach was turned into one. I like the idea, given that the location seems perfect for an infohub, and was vastly underused before. I do wish there was more info at the infohub, and that the agent limit was a bit higher than it is currently. Makes it hard to get in there!

The Bay City Children's Blurtophone Band -- otherwise known as "Fred" -- quickly established themselves as the house band at Squishybottoms at the Moose Beach infohub. I don't remember who our session guy is on maracas.



Saturday, well, I had a lotta RL to do. But I did make it back inworld f'r the big sausage harvest at -RC- Cluster. I managed to get a few cool pose sets that I did't already have.



I also spended some time building to get ready for Sunday, went by Moose Beach infohub a couple times, an otherwise occupied my time.

Sunday, of course, was Easter. So I did a little easter dance in the flowers!



We had our second annual Spring Festival on Livingtree, with egg decorating, a nature walk, a small egg hunt, and the big egg rolling contest. It was super super fun, even though we had a small turnout. It was Easter after all. But the Golden Egg Trophy has made it to a new home for the year, and all is good.

Well, sorta.

Sunday was also the last day for Livingtree Cove, our adjoining homestead sim. We had originally gotten it as a private workspace, back when open spaces were reasonable. We opened it to the public when the policy changed, but never really had much of a plan for it. As the economy has continued to tighten, our sales on Livingtree have dropped well below half of what we were making last year, and our RL selves have felt some serious pinches. As such, the Cove had to go. I only hope we can keep the main island going as well.

I'm not one to beg, none of us on the island are -- but if you've not stopped in, come by and take a look, see if there's anything you might like to buy. If you've gotten something out of the texture tutorial or Wiccan Learning Center, consider a small donation to Robin. In this time, every little bit will help keep us going.

If you don't want to, or feel put upon by this, I'm sorry. You are under no obligation. I'm not really asking for charity... but if you've been putting off a purchase or anything, or haven't check out the island before, well, we'd love to have ya. :-)

An that's the weekend. Some good, some bad this time. Hope ya'll have a g'night an a g'day!

Morning everyone! Tinkering on frost here, but seems like the plants on the decks are surviving thus far *great sighs of relief*

Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday no matter how you celebrated, or even if you didn't. Had an early dinner up at Ghosty's parents home, alas too quick of a visit since it's such a long drive for us - but it's always great seeing them, nice foks and his mom is one of those cooks who may not be "gourmet" but knows what she's doing and does it well; fresh, good quality and done with love.

Off to my last week of employment for the moment and then going to enjoy some time off to catch up on things, before we leave for Bermuda! Will deal with the job hunt on my return although I'm contemplating taking some time off. After 30 years of constant employment, maybe I deserve some free time to relax and maybe explore some other options for my future. Financially, there's no panic I've always been a saver and plus there are other financial factors involved to help, no immenient need to worry by any means at all. Getting back to work is more my innate sense of what I feel is the right thing to do, I genuinely enjoy it (plus I know I usually get bored fast if I'm home too long - that time I spent homebound when injured was difficult for me).

Anyhoo, have a fab day! See ya all later!
