Not sure I ever actually got Kris... but that's no need to stop trying... I'll get her one day... (and tickle her).


I think they meant 'get her' as in mafia/pitchfork wielding mob actually :)

Aww, but I could think of so many much nicer things to do to you... (I'll pick up Willow on the way too...)

I hate that the forums are like heroin.

Really addictive.
Really bad for you.
Really hard to quit.

As we have seen in another thread, Willow has just given birth to puppies or a ferret or something, I couldn't really tell what kind of baby that was. She may be a bit indisposed.

Not to mention nodding in and out.

Urban Dictionary has this to say:

v. to doze off when high on opiates.

Your neck goes limp and your head just kinda slumps down on your shoulder and it seems like you just blinked for a really long time, when you come to.
Johnny was nodding hard after he took four Oxy.

This stuff happens to me all the

People who complain about what I do on my own land. I bought it. I'm paying for the monthly tier. I'm going to do whatever I want on it. If you don't like it, well thats just too bad. Mind your own business. :) Go buy your own land and see how much you like it when someone does it to you.

I've held off posting in this thread because whenever I typed how I felt, I got sugar diabetes and had to get off the computer. (No, I'm not making fun of people with diabetes, it's just an expression, :p

Anyway, I should try again. I LOVE This Forum! There I said it.

I find the company here engaging, witty, extremely educated, passionate about what they believe in and very very entertaining (is that the same as engaging?).

By posting/reading/interacting here, I have increased my debating skills 100%. I find myself expessing my points much better in RL. Not that I was an idiot before, but just out of practice since leaving school.

The forums enhance my enjoyment of Second Life. I admit to getting way excited when I see someone in-world whose post I have read in the Forums.

Yes there are bad parts. And sometimes I feel like I have to defend my point of view, but, and this is the big part, it is such a challenge to do it in a way that I can respect myself for. And when I accomplish this, it's such an endorphin booster that I am smiling for the rest of the day.

I want to hug everyone that is hurt or confused or feeling down. I wish I could give them a Vulcan Mind Meld and let them see the beauty that is them. Every person on this board is a beautiful unique soul. And that is wonderful because it would be so boring if we all thought alike and acted the same.

Life is a weird thing, and we are where we are by weird quirks of fate. Your great great grandfather met your great great grandmother by crossing a street on the left side instead of the right which he would normally have done. Things are so random and anyone of us could be in the other person's shoes so easily. Because I love myself, I have to love everyone else or nothing makes sense. I don't have to love what they do, but as a person.

One day I was walking through the train station in DC and I was looking at all the unique people from all over the world. People who just a couple of hundred years ago could have been warring if they were in a hundred yards of each other. And I thought, this is beautiful, we can all come together and interact and I can love each of this people without inherent hatred. And I started to hum "What a beautiful world we all live in, what a glorious time to be free". Just then, a couple came around the corner, they were co-workers of mine and the woman had pressed false sexual harrassment charges against me to get her out of some trouble with some paperwork I had processed for her. Boy was God/Goddess/Allah/Great Green Arklesiezure mocking me. I didn't say anything to them, even if I had smiled, it would have been perceived as harrassment. But I said yes, I can love her too. And my mind opened up, my heart lifted and I felt free and beautiful and light and tears welled up in my eyes. The ability to love anyone in spite of what has been done to you is a gift of joy. The Greatest Gift I can give you is to Love one another as I have Loved you. What an amazing concept, huh.

So I love the forums, I love all of you beautiful people. I especially love Linden Labs.

Okay, see, I warned you didn't I?


What a lovely post April!

*pokes head in looks around


biggest gripe, some ppl are like rabid dogs who just can't let anything go, ever. It makes some ppl want to just poke their head in the fourms. Read a few posts and leave to go do something that is acturaly FUN.


*exit stage right.

My biggest forum gripe is that after countless hours spent trying to moderate this unwieldy thing called the general forum, Jeska still has not been granted her small request for a pink pony.

My biggest forums gripes are:

1. FIC this and FIC that...blah blah blah who cares!!
2. The constant drama and bickering back and forth of certain groups of people.
3. Rehashing old arguments that should have been dropped back in 'Nam.
4. Forum threads that discuss forum gripes. ;P

biggest forum gripe...
08-02-2005 13:00
that we need to gripe at all?

that I still don't know what "FIC" means?

that LL doesn't really read the forum discussions or make substantive contributions, even to ask questions?

that most posters are reactive (vs collegial), reducing the content to personality conflicts or stereotypes versus real discussion?


If it weren't for gripes I'd have no gripes at all...
