Do people live in The Burbs in SL?

ah right......I suppose Treasure, I meant sunrise one way and sunset the other on appropriate environment settings and its' just blue sky in all directions on the other daytime settings...........hence nothing within view.
I don't recall having seen anything 'grungy' yet, but I suppose the owner could get out of bed the wrong side one morning and plopped in grey skies, if he/she's got some kind of weather system thingy going on........but then I'm only a muppet and unlikely to be sure of anything in SL anyways..........lol

Depends on how high you are. get up to the 2500, 3000 level or so and everything looks kinda brownish on the horizon, like a bad smoggy day in L.A. You must be somewhere between 300 and 500 or so? Still pretty down there.

This is the one & only reason why I have never gone to a skybox

I like the stars and sunrise/sunset up in the sky too. And past 1000 meters, I think it is, there is less lag, because the ground level does not render.

Only drawback is when a lot of others get the same idea, and soon you are toe to toe with people even in the sky. Lol.

Okay, now I guess some people really enjoy a life in the burbs and I hope they have a great time but the ghastly vision of housing estates and suburbia choking up a virtual reality is positively throat gagging to me. I'd rather be shot in the eye than face that sad end.

Yes, people are prolly trying to escape that. Thank God, I have never had to, since I have never lived in a "burb". It would be liek living in a candy bar but without the wrapper.

Have you ever played with dolls, Jig, or has that always been beneath you?

Some people use SL as a microcosm of real life... like playing with dolls. For some of us, it's pretty fascinating to see things we know (vehicles, pets, etc.) replicated in here. It's not a "sad end." Get over yourself.

I used to leave my dolls outside for the winter to see if they would survive. I also bit the heads off jelly-babies.

If this is a microcosm of real life, why do we fly, are 3 metres tall, and can change our skins liek chameleons?

I didn't say that it definitively WAS a microcosm, but that *some people* use it that way. Prim babies, family roleplay, the house with picket fence, etc. It's not your style, so just let it be. Many people here consider your hypersexual, materialistic ways as a "sad end."

Hey I am not at an end yet, sad or otherwise. And material? Yeah. I truly am. At least I admit it. I love being able to afford what I want in sl and in rl to a point. Hypersexual also. But I reckon you can be hypersexual in a burban neighbourhood also.Those babies didnt just get dumped by teh stork.

I agree. To be so focused on sex all the time, would be one thing. But to be so focused on sex and think everything else is beneath contempt, dancing, living in houses, using your imagination for something other than sex.

I personally would find living in the burbs a good beginning, not an end. Sad or otherwise.

ummm...yooo hooo.....Jig.....didn't you have a thread going here, last week....suggesting that we break away from the norms.....and explore? Something like that?

Uh oh.....I feel a Jig story coming on.......I lived downtown in a penthouse apartment for most of my adult life....(you would have loved it - just your style).....I didn't get to live in The Burbs. I had to park my sports car in the alley, where people left their plastic party cups from the nightclub across the street, and partied under my bedroom window until 2am every night. No crickets chirping....just the sweet sounds of drunken partiers. No yard.....just pavement. No neighbors.....just store owners, way down below....and they all went home at night. It was kind of like living in a skybox. I don't want to simulate that here!

You must not have caught my drift, when I mentioned the cast of characters. Pay attention......follow along with the story.....

Jig, to some people who have lived in a concrete jungle their whole RL...this would be very appeasing to them

See Jig this is where everyone is different. I think it would be ghastly to be cooped in in a city with millions of other people like rats in a maze or drones in an anthill. Hell I imagine some blocks in major cities have as many people in them as the whole county I live in. I know major sports arenas hold more people than live in my county.

I've gone both ways. (heh). I actually like both ways. Right now, for the past 10 yrs I'm in the burbs. It satisfies my desire to have space around me, my own plot of land, a piece of nature......but there was a time in another, faster paced life that those things were the last thing I wanted. Jig is young. I can see that fast paced city/urban thing appealing to her, now. As one gets older, priorities change.

Pictures please.

And I was about 98% sure that Jig was the woman keeping my sister's husband at the downtown office late at night, while the yard man and the pool boy keep my sister entertained......not so? Treasure.....is it YOU?

/me looks down my cute little nose at you haughtily. Girl please. Treasure doesn't do pool boys, or boys of any kind. Real men only need apply. As for your sister's husband; naw. Not him either. Treasure also doesn't do 'piece on the side' activity. Yep, too good for that. This is paved with gold, baby.

Well, whoever it is! She's hardly a "piece on the side".....he put her up in a city apartment, and lets her use the Tahoe vacation home on the weekends. But I suppose that Jig doesn't handle snow in the mountains.....still rules her out.

Again 'Girl, please'. That definitely sound like Jig type activities, although, (like Treasure) she seems to have her own....(God bless the child, who's got his own....) Nobody 'puts me up'. Requires obligation on my part and.......I ain't into being obligated.

I'll figure this out. For a couple of months, the pool boy lived in the guest house, then he just up and moved one day....muttered something about being offered a larger guest house......

I'm a Chelsea girl myself.

My pool boy was a pool boy and I didnt have sex with the help

Unless they have tickets to the concert.
