When packaging the item always include a landmark, ALWAYS, cuz people will ask where others got stuff and when there is no LM, there is a lost sale. (note card optional)

Actually, as a shopper, I really hate that...if I want a LM to someone's shop, I'll make it myself. I want the items and ONLY the items I purchased in the folder or box and everything else gets deleted immediately.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Mac - laughed a lot over your comments about the girls.

All I could think about was Bill Cosby's HBO special: "Bill Cosby: Himself"; there was a section where he was being driven crazy by his kids and their bout of "he's touching me!" or "stop touching me!"

And the "Dad is great - made us chocolate cake" song was priceless..

As for you - I loved the "sssshhh! He's coming" and the rustling of the papers. So cute. I know you do, but cherish these times!

can't sleep so peeking in

ann (and max) you are then a rare breed, because all the people I chatted with (and that is a lot, prolly bordering on thousands by now after 2 years in sl) love it when the seller puts the lm

better to put the lm and have the buyer delete it than have no lm and the buyer want or need it to pass on to another

for the record, I prefer to have the lm, notecards, pics, and anything else they want to slap in there

Happy Father's Day

To all the dads out there: Happy Father's Day.

The role you have chosen (at least, I hope you chose it!) is immense, and immensely important. The care and nurturing of your children is the most critical "job" you can have.

I am fortunate to have the world's greatest dad, who at 83 is brilliant, full of humor and creativity, physically active and still running circles around me and my 4 siblings.

Fathers, I salute you. :)

Hi Rha!

I cannot tell you the number of times someone will ask me where I got something, and of course, I cannot recall, so I go to look in the folder...no landmark.

Yes, I can go look under properties or rez part of the outfit and find the creator, but having the LM saves me time, and believe me, I am all about the hassle factor. :D

Each to their own, and no problem with that whatsoever. Nevertheless, if I like a store (or think someone I know will), I'll grab a LM before I leave, which I file in my immaculately organised inventory :)

Personally, I just get mildly irritated when I open an item and cascades of textures, notecards and LMs fill my screen.

I enjoy being a rare breed.

I see no hassle in a quick right-click > Properties, "Here's the name!" It's more of a pain to me to have LMs all over my inventory where they don't belong. It offends my sense of organization.

Hi, all :)

Re: landmarks. I think their ability to annoy depends largely on whether you rely on your Landmarks folder for teleporting, or whether you rely on the dropdown list in the World Map. If the latter, then having 10 LMs for your favourite store (one in each item you bought) cluttering up the list *is* annoying. That's why I file my LMs now and always use the Landmarks folder for teleporting. It's much quicker to open up the 'Landmarks - Hair' folder and there are all my LMs for hair stores, than to scroll through 100+ names in the World Map dropdown to find the one that I want.

Yep. The reigning champions eliminated, mainly for their adherence to a don't-give-anything-away anti-football philosophy.

They got what they deserved. Only team not to score so far. They have an opportunity to redeem themselves in their final, meaningless game.

Oh... it's against Spain. Humiliation beckons.

I want the LM too- cause sometimes I forget what's what- - I also like the name of what something IS - like a blouse should include the word BLOUSE, shoes -SHOES. Because I can't always remember the cutesy names - guilty of the name thing in my wares as well ;) - so I will search under the general what it is category in my inventory and hopefully it shows that way. I have two pairs of ballet boots, had to buy the second 'cause for the life of me I have no clue where I bought the first, when- or what they were called. In over 10k pieces of inventory it was bound to get lost!
I include a graphic as part of the box stuff comes in... but does that show up when it transfers to inventory? Someone who bought soemthng let me know please-

Good Morning Threadies! May the sun light your paths. See you guys n-world today!

Happy Father's Day again.

I think you are right. I'm torn about this. I hate to clutter up anyone's inventory but I hate to think they might want to come back and can't find their way. I've begun to to see where including a picture could be helpful too - or annoying...

I won't argue there, but I try on and organize my purchases every day or two, so it's not a huge issue. I DO like it when the store name - not an abbreviation - is included in the folder title.

I'm pushing 12K and that's not an issue due to my organizational system. *shrug*

Same here. I don't need the ad pic, or non essential notecards. I find I don't even use landmarks for favorite places any more. But it only takes a minute to delete that stuff, so it's no big deal either way.

I like it when they include the ad pic. It helps when I can't remember what the item looks like, so I don't have to wear it/rez it to see.
