The shape is newish in terms of I just switched to it relatively recently. I don't recall when I did though. Maybe a few months. I've had the shape for a long time, though. I don't actually recall when I got the shape. I think I pulled it from Sonia. And it is conceivable, slightly, very slightly, that I at least modded it. The skin is brand new. Picked up at the skin fair.

Pulling everything else in pic - hair is new also: got it this weekend at the Truth sale. Eyes are new, I think I got them at the skin fair from a gift bag. Umbrella is the prop at Art Box. collar/cuffs, not new.

I will note that I could not have taken that picture before a certain date which I do not now, maybe Friday, and I can't take it now. I took the picture at Deadend City. They are moving sim and they did a little moving sim theme where they flooded parts of the sim. behind me you can see the rushing water. I am not certain, now, but I might actually be underwater in the picture, standing on land that used to be above water, and the rushing water in the background could be the water near the pier, which is also now, or was, underwater. I believe that sim move theme ended today.

There are all sorts of ways in which the sentence could be interpreted, depending upon the context of the sentence. You are choosing to do so in one way, but it does not invalidate my use of the "none" ... "is" ... "those" construction which Eli originally erroneously attempted to correct, which 3Ring made a fool of herself in pursuing, and to which you are now redundantly raising irrelevant objections.

Pep (Why didn't you bring in a red herring about collective nouns as well, while you were at it?)

I'm thinking I should update the dances in my Huddles and was wondering if anyone knew where I can buy these dances. They look quite realistic so they are probably mo-cap dances.

I must admit when I first read, "there is none so blind as those who do not see," it didn't seem quite consistent to me. But your excellent explanations cleared up the "is" "those" thing very well.

"There is no one person who is so blind as those people who will not see." In this sentence I see no choice but to assume that the "no one person" being compared to the people in the group who "will not see" is not part of that group.

But I don't understand how something like this sentence can be not contradicting itself: "There is no one on the forums like Pep"
Surely these are accepted facts:
1. Pep is like Pep
2. Pep is on the forums.
3. Pep is not no one.
It wouldn't make sense to imply that any of them are false, would it?

I don't know anything about buying SL dances although I kind of wish I would get up the energy to find out and get some decent ones for myself.

But thanks for the link to the video, Josh. I love it that the one guy danced at the bus stop every morning and the other guy secretly caught him on video over 18 months and then edited it together with the right music. I hope the dancer sees it and finds out he's famous.

Hi everybuggy! Hope ya'll had a super weekend!

Mine this weekend was... quiet. The last few have been super busy, so this one was a bit more downtime-y. Also, I spended the time building a building too.

You see I recently ended up with ah third parcel in Bay City. It was the last in the block with mine, an the folks decided to sell it at a good price. Also, a friend spotted me the L$ for it. Well, a forum regular had expressed interest in the plot, but I think this is on hold -- so I decided to build an might end up makin it a rental if I can find a good retro/vintage store or good clothing/accessory place that wants to rent an be in the city.

Anyway, as Bay City is all mid-century/deco city stuff, i decided to once again crack into the style. Here's the result:



I'm still doing a couple other small touches, like a fire escape on the back. Makes for a nice addition to the block.

I also did a change to my main store's sign, making some fancy sculpts an scripting up some chase lights. It looks better in action, but you can get the idea. Oh ya, an that's my sister an brother in this piccie, too:



In other stuff... AM Radio is closin another sim, an a whole lotta people piled on. I hadda get a shot of the crowd! So... here they are!



At Kid Scouts, we were decorating punkins. A little late, but because the our troop leader was out ill the last couple cuz of tooth troubles. Anyway, oe of the punkins turned out to be against the makin of punkin pies, so a number of other punkins counter protested, an myine counter counter protested, an well, it was silly. Guess you hadda be there. but here's a piccie, too:



An one more shot, which I actually took last week. This is in IBM 2, an made by Madcow Cosmos and Lorin Tone. The one thing you can't tell in the piccie is how big this is. I'm the speck between a couple of the strings to the left. This is totally some must see stuff, I think:



An that's about it! Like I said, kinda quiet weekend. Hope you all have a super week to come!

Ministry of Motion has some good Michael Jackson dances -- but what a fun YouTube!

as usual, great stuff there. always pop by here for your report.


maybe. but i totally got it...


hey! Lorin Tone is great! not just as a sound scripter, but as a person, too. i'd popped by one night in an alt just to add his place to my picks section and he wound up giving me a great tour of the next door "adventure" that he and Madcow had put together.

Ya. Not sure what'll become of 'em when the forums go away. Maybe i'll do 'em on my blog or something.



I agree! I met Lorin some time ago, an he an I have been friends now for a while. He's why I have a working blurtophone again, amongst other fun stuff.

I would certainly miss them. I think I get more vicariously from your reports and pictures than from what I do myself in SL some weeks. I admire and enjoy you very much.

Point 3 must be wrong as my kids call me "No-one"

Pep (Because "No-one is perfect".)

PS Actually you explained it yourself in an earlier post. The word "else" is assumed; people tend to leave a lot of assumed words out in English. For instance, in one of my earlier posts it would have made huge sense if I had said something like, in full, "No-one is as aggressive in the (current teams in the) NFL as those LA Raiders (of the 1980s.)"

Good morning, Threadies. I hope everyone had a good weekend.

*smiles* Mari, I'm glad you had a "restful" weekend. I so enjoy hearing about your adventures, and having the opportunity to pour over your pics.



Holy cow - that gizmo is huge!! I could barely "spot" you.

is it just me, or can you feel it too?

Rio! hello.

super fun. i want to go to that. how do i find out more info on it?

i need to remember to look at my contact list while inworld, and invite friends to some of the music events we attend. i know you like music Lexxi, so i'll make a special effort to do that!

the bumper cars do look fun! i would like ot try that too.

no. but you're welcome to immediately bypass it in your search results.

/me strokes the thread lovingly and buffers it from mean people.

oh dear. is it turning into SLU? or are they not ganging up?

nice try, mr wrong.

So now you're requesting others to share your predilection for "me too" posts.

Pep (Not me.)

WOW! you did a great job!

that's incredible.

i also loved the other pics and writeups. you always have the best stories and reviews and pics of your SL experiences. sad about AM Radio closing yet another sim. is he planning to replace them or just close them down and widdle his way out of SL? i love all his sims.

Keep posting like this Threeli - it reminds people you have the IQ of a genius . . .

Pep ( . . . if you add both of them together.)

Nice pics everyone. Mari, I absolutely love what you are doing with your buildings.

awwwwwwwwwww Threeli. that's such a cute and endearing nickname nickname. thank you. i think i will use it.
