Hi, Gogleye, welcome to the forums. That is almost certainly a message from either some object you're wearing or an object near you. Most likely it is something you are wearing; test this by going to a different sim.

The quick way to test this is to detach everything. You can take two approaches here - look in your inventory for everything that's "Worn" (type 'worn' into the search bar for inventory). Then detach things one by one.

Or, right click on yourself and choose "Detach all". Your hair will disappear O.o! Wait for a few minutes and see if the message goes away - it may not go away immediately if you had a few queued up. Then put your attachments back on, one by one, until the message returns.

The strange thing is... it only happens in one area... So if I go to another sim then log out and log in it will be fine. I don't get it. (P.S. it only started when I hit this person with a bat) Thanks for the help!
