I should mention that I live in a refurbished attic so one side of my kitchen roof is slanted. Took awhile to remember to duck lol

I almost always run SL on my desktop in the office/study, but once in a while on my laptop either in the office or when traveling.


From: Phil Deakins
Never. I never take SL with me anywhere in the house, other than it's normal place in the dining room. I don't even take thoughts of it to bed with me if I can help it.
I often dream of SL.

she's lost in coma where it's beautiful
intoxicated from the deep sleep, deep sleep
do you wonder what it's like
living in a permanent imagination?
sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that

guilty by design
she's nothing more then fiction.
she dreams in digital,
cause it's better then nothing.
now that control is gone,
it seems unreal,
she's dreaming in digital.
she dreams in digital.

and your pixel army can't save you now
my finger's on the kill switch
i remember i used to compose your dreams
control your dreams
and don't be afraid to expose yourself
before i shut you down
you made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping

No no. I have a great cutting board that I can place where I want...I want one of those islands...and more counter space...and more cabinets...


Tear all the stuff out and start again. I'll think a bit.

I live alone with a huge kitchen (I hate to cook) so the desktop sits on the kitchen table. I have (and don't anyone repeat this) fallen asleep after a few glasses of (water?) and fell out of my chair ;)


So the ceiling pushes you off your chair? Wot kinda water are you drinking?

A big kitchen needs design. I do have an ancient and large kitchen on the coast but did not take into account how far it can be to go from fridge to stove (I use a refurbished 1950s gas stove) to sink to chopping block. Then its a separate larder/pantry. It works only if you really cook - I do. So I agree that a big kitchen is an up-market flag-waver. BUT recently I have taken to going on my deck and using a simple barbecue grill to do most of my cooking and prepping everything on the deck also. (You may recall "Gully" who joined me on my deck this summer in search of handouts)

In winter I use a much smaller kitchen which is stainless steel and tileand is more "galley" than "gallery" - but my recipes change also.

I have found that kitchen size doesnt matter so much as the size of my cutting block. I use a substantial one that cost a small fortune but is wonderfully "tuned" to the knives I use.

Get a great chopping block Brenda and your kitchen will seem to expand. :)
But Jig, that is why sous chefs were invented.

That is so "you". I love to cook. And had lessons when I was in school. Then I went to courses as holidays. It's my relaxation. I can cook better than most trained chefs.

Computer in the den next the kitchen. Which is rather handy.

I can usually get something on simmer, drowned in curry or arrabiata sauce or something while messing with SL. Yesterday was ahi tuna, which I prefer raw but this was just grocery store grade so I had to cook it.

This computer I'm on now is at the office, which is... just an office. In a business park. Boring but effective.

Beds aren't a place for electronics. I can barely abide a clock by the bed, let alone a computer.

I love to cook too.

That's called "mise en place" and its what you should be doing in the morning.

Try a plate of thinly sliced raw salmon with pepper and lemon juice for lunch today.
I sleep with my Blackberry.

home office, roll top desk, big comfy chair.
Our kitchen just got remodeled after a house fire and omg I love it. All stainless steel.
I don’t recommend a house fire, and the seven and half moths in a hotel was a nightmare but all new upgraded appliances makes it all a little more palatable

Those moths will get you every time. Even the fractions of moths. :)

Do you take your computer link to the bed with you (and use a bedside table) or do you stay rooted to your desk?
Where do you experience the sl connection?
Bedroom, study, guest bedroom?


I USED to. Sort of.

Before voice, when we logged out, we'd switch to Skype. I'd wear a cordless headset and she'd put the laptop on the night stand next to her bed. We'd talk each other to sleep.

But, computer is in the bedroom, on a desk under the bed. it's a big desk. and the high bed keeps out the dog--who never understood that he's not entitled to a pillow. Since I'm the only one who sleeps in it now, it's no problem that the ceiling is only 2 feet above me.

Yeah a two bedroom hotel suite turns into a really small efficiency real quick.

Okay, how do you get a desk under a bed and actually manage to sit there? Oh, I see...silly me!
Dont sleep with dogs!!!! They are filthy animals whatever the English say!

Ohh I stayed in one of them once, near Central Park, NY bigger than my whole flat, Sean Connery held the foyer door open for me, so gobsmacked I forgot to say thank you.

No Sean Connery holding our door but a sweet little old lady named Inga who cooked some really nice home style dinners for the guests.

oh and I love Sean Connery so i would have been equally ... "gobsmacked" (hoping it means what i think it means)

Back in the day, when this loft bed was new, and I would still reply to such things--I got one of those "get acquaint emails that ask you a series of goofy questions that you're supposed to answer and send on. (I was so naive then.)

One of the questions was "What's under your bed right now?"

Since we've now included kitchens in this post I got to add mine to the post. First thing I did when I bought this house, after replacing the banister, installing central heating, shower, new front door etc was knock the wall down turning my kitchen and diningroom into one lovely BIG kitchen. Butler sink, wood benches, shabby chic gone wild and packed with all my lovely ingredients and crafting stuff. And the icing in the cake was the French doors installed opening onto a little paved courtyardy area then the garden:))))

I love my home (now after all the work).
