just ignore and let this one die

I'm bad bad kitty I haven't had a dentist for several years. Supposedly the one I might be able to see tomorrow would have seen me on Sunday if I had been a regular patient.

Same dentist as the one I used last time, though. If I can't get in tomorrow, I'll see about antibiotics. Since I'm not a regular, they will probably be reluctant.

Happy Bank Holiday. A bit of a piggy flu relapse yesterday from other members of the house. I'll spare the gorey details but it will involve a trip to the shop today for febreze, upholstery/ carpet cleaner, more laundry soap and yet another bottle of detol. Sigh.

Lexxi, toothaches truly suck. I had to wait a few days to get my wisdom teeth out and my oral surgeon (who gave me the good stuff after he took all 4 of them out) suggested I get myself a bottle of whiskey in the meantime. Ice maybe, too?

Wonderful photos Mari. ou can see how much fun you were having.

What else...sorry my brain is mush.

.. just hanging out in forums reading people's woes, rants, raves and promotions, then i came across this thread.

I have not had a productive day - unwashed dishes lie in the sink, clothes in the laundry basket, my work in-box piled high and untouched, emails unread ... so why not ease my nagging guilt and head off to bed feeling soooo much better by diligently adding to this Thread?

Knew there was a reason i got up this morning!

Keep smiling one and all

It's time to share my darkest secret. I see the numbers 11 11 everywhere. For example, when i hit submit for my last forum post the time stamp was - yes you guessed it - 11.11.

11 11 is no big deal you say but I tell you it is! It's got to a really freaky point. I am reasonably sane and intelligent and I know that twice a day all clocks show 11:11, but I "accidentally" see 11:11 on documents, bills, books, signs, every friggin where! It is like i am in an 11:11 plague.

I googled 11:11 and a whole lot of weird spiritual sites listed. Seems like i am not alone. Lots of people from all over the world see 11:11 far too often. I am kinda relieved I am not the only 11:11 geek around. I looked at a few of these sites but i really dont think i am one of the 'enlightened' with some strange intergalactic contact with other-world beings (excluding avies, of course).

One site did help me a lot though. It explained that, "11:11 is a pre-encoded trigger placed into our cellular memory banks prior to our descent into matter which, when activated, signifies that our time of completion is near. This refers to the completion of duality. When the 11:11 appears to you, it is your wake-up call. A direct channel opens up between you and the Invisible. When this happens, it is time to reflect on whatever you are doing for a moment and Look Larger. A transfer is in position... " and on it went ... blah blah blah ... wtf does all that mean?! LOL

Happily most of the interpretations tell me i am on the "right path" which is nice to know although i have noooo idea what that path is ... lol.

Just wondering if there are there any fellow 11'ers out there?

Hey people. long time no seen!

Just had to let you know the news about my new laptop

For the last 2 years I played SL on a company laptop with an embedded Intel graphic adapter. No windlight, draw distance 64, all settings as low as possible. Could hardly move in my own store, but apparantly customers did not experience lag, so no problem. Parties were impossible, because as soon as there were more then 3 or 4 avatars present, my client about froze.

Last week I got myself a new laptop. Not even a very expensive one, about 840 dollars when I convert currency. 4GB memory, and a 512KB GeForce G 103M card. Quite average these days, but within budget (actually SL payed for it ).

AMAZING!!! As soon as I started up the client, clicked away the message that my hardware was not compatible with SL (!!), and switched to Ultra settings, I did not know what I saw! SL looked so different, so much prettier. And more then that: I could actually move! Where I had framerates of <3 on mimimum settings, I now had 15-20 on Ultra. And yes probably more when tweaking settings but hey, I am glad as it is and Ultra looks so good.

So... it IS worth it, a new machine!! So much more joy in being in SL. And I can imagine that what I do normally, I can do now three times as fast, so I save time.

Just wanted to share this

I went to visit a couple of friends this morning. The outfit was a Hunt Freebie, btw.

and never EVER tell me your phone number. i can't get those out of my head, ever. *sigh*

So, was there a Forum Cartel field trip Friday night to Lindal's class???? Inquiring minds need to know!

Really sad I missed BL, but Mari's report was almost like being there.

you had this out when we came to see your place, but you took it away before we could get inside. looked like fun!

that is way too freakin cool for words. can you drop the slurl to that one? i thot i had seen everything, but i clearly missed something grand.

everyone here who had the pigfest had a relapse too. good news is that after a couple more days you should be bright n shiny again. hope you feel better fast!

cute pic, and you know i love that shirt!

oh Lexxi, i hope you can get some relief quickly now. sounds just awful.

We has land! Approx 9300 sq.m in Zindra, on a steep bank protected on one side by the Gov. owned river system.

I want to do an open air build down the side of the hill. I think I want to buy a sculptie set, preferably with textures included. Any suggestions?

Pie!!! /me loves pie.

And wassail!

*waves to Claire, with mouth full of apple pie*
