If you tease it enough, it looks like you have a full head of hair.

Or spray it enough and you can put someone's eye out with it

You'll put your eye out kid!

It never ceases to amaze me how many hairstyles you women collect. I have two. The second was an unnecessary luxury as far as I'm concerned. I'm not complaining, btw. I like looking at you all. But still, all that hair! You haven't got but one skull!

It depends. How good are you at plumbing and car repair?

I could offer both. Dad's a mechanic and taught me stuff.... ;)


And about the hair vs hairs issue-

Field day for linguists, a lexeme (i.e. "word";) actually changing behaviour! Mutating! Turning into a giant pie! Er no.....maybe not the last one... ;)

It really shouldn't surprise you, when you consider we can have 6 black dresses in the closet, and still need to buy a new one because it's not the right shade of black.

I think SL is just like anything in life. You have to take the good with the bad. If the bad outweighs the good,then it's time to leave. Personally I like it, even with all it's faults.

you take them both and there you have

Amazed, not surprised. I've come to accept it as:

(sings along with Annabelle) The Facts of Life, The Facts of Life...


Like I said - no complaints. You aren't expected to understand why we argue with each other about the infield fly rule or why we need a new high-flow exhaust system in the truck when there is a perfectly good muffler on there now, and we aren't expected to understand all those shoes and why you carry all that garbage around in your purse. It is what it is - just accept it.

OMG I hated Blair so much.

I think I'm up around 50 or sixty hairstyles now. And, like Brenda says, sometimes I just can't find the RIGHT one... so out I go...wallet singin the Hair Blues.

Actually I keep a baseball rule book in my purse so I can explain the infield fly rule to guys I meet. I don't know why you have such difficulty with it.

If guys didn't have difficulty with it, then there would be nothing for us to argue about.

I have finally decided that I can't take it anymore and I'm leaving RL. I will be living full time in my beach house from now on.

Good hair days here I come!

"And now to add insult to injury they want me to verify my age with info I don't give on the internet. If my CC isn't good enough for age verification, then F... Sl and LL I'm gone." I thought I would start with this for the people that posted before they got that far. For me that would be the straw that brakes the camels back.

I love to build, for me it's the most enjoyable part of SL. In order to build you need to have a place; unless you enjoy the unchecked griefing in sandboxes. Places cost Ls. I rent 2 lots. I have a nice 500 free prims to work with, not a chance of using too many. Ls cost $, so even though I am a free member I am spending $16 a month on rent.

When I first came to SL I went looking for things of my interest, so I searched goth; I'm not as much into goth as horror. Well I found a place I loved, felt very comfortable there and liked most of the people. I miss that place. Oh once and a while I manage to actually get there. And I don't get there near as often as I try to get there. I'd be there more IF SL WOULD LET ME.

I visit SL on my pumped up gateway, pent 2.4, 1 gig, nVidia, DSL. I run CCleaner a couple of times a week, Do the windows freeup once a week, check for spy where when I use Ccleaner, and clear all my caches on closing; even SLs. No it's not my comp causing the problem.

Now I know how I can get SL to work better for me, and am working on it. Try this one. Drop everything, yes everything. Empty your inventory. Now run around SL. stunning isn't it. Yes, quite a few SL performance problems are caused by excess inventory :)

Do you have Lag problems? I usually don't, I wonder why? Hmm lets see, I'm wearing a 2 prim belt, a 1 prim hat, 2 prim hair, and 4 prim sun glasses. What are you waring? Let me guess, 20-50 prim hair, 14 prims of jewelry, 20-50m prims of clothes, and a few dozen other scripted attachments just for fun, right. I just don't have a clue why you're having lag problems.

After reading all this it seems that apathy runs as thick as the comedy. I now see why nothing ever gets fixed. Why should the Lindens fix anything if most people seem to be more then willing to tolerate the bugs.

Possibly they feel you need to verify your age because of your childish whining. If you don't want to play, fine, don't play. Just leave, don't stand there making a song and dance about it.

Oh, and by the way, the camel will go faster if you take the brakes off.

I've had it with RL. I'm thinking of moving into SL permanently. The script that runs my car won't always work, and I can't seem to teleport at all. I spend hours each day lagging at work - just sitting there staring at a computer screen like an idiot. I tried to change my shape, but it was an immense amount of work and I still look a little Ruth-ish. I can't get my hair to change, although it seldom attaches itself to my butt. My weekly stipend is too small. Every night I crash for a solid 6 hours.

Check this out! Last week, one of the prims under my kitchen sink unjoined itself and quit working. There was water everywhere. I tried ctrl-J, I tried realligning it, checked to see if it was some sort of malicious script. Finnally, I had to buy another one and crawl under there with a wrench!! On the way to the hardware store in my glitchy car, I drove through downtown - you know what that place it like! Griefers and newbs begging for Lindens.

RL is a pain in the butt. I'm seriously thinking about quitting and just sticking to SL.


GOLD!

Yep I hate RL missions & quests, I am addicted to it though, slaving for hours daily for minimal GP, but somehow I keep leveling at a yearly rate, I wanted to stay Level 30 forever :/

glad everyone is having such a great time with the thread, but i can understand where the op is coming from. for the first time in maybe 8 months i have gone longer than a week without logging in. i dont even look at the auctions or scout for land anymore. the problems arent even half of my discontent. i think what bothers me most is ll's blatant dishonesty, the disingenuous excuses they post, and the social engineering mission they have undertaken. it seems like ll completely ignores its customers, then every couple of weeks drops a secondlife-changing bombshell. i really do feel like they are contemptuous of me and my fellow customer/residents. broad sweeping policy changes and to hell with whether anyone likes/wants it (im told i want it though, and that annoys me). sycophants will of course point out that this is ll's legal option (no shit hey). i can legally serve everyone cold salty potatoes, mushy panache, pour fish sauce over their overcooked steaks and call it high cuisine, but i wouldnt expect people to be happy about spending $ on such a thing hey... and thats what i feel like ll serve me up.
despite sl's craptacular performance and management, i do like being in-world. but anymore its difficult to justify the $ i spend on tier and land. especially when ll can and do arbitrarily fuck with land valuation. i'd like to forget it all and retire to a 2048 on an island and build shoes :) but with the value of land tanked i hate to liquidate my holdings right now. on the other hand i dont want to carry tier into another one or two months. so im not sure what to do.

Ah Nina you can't leave, we'd miss your Aussie forthrightness.

People who post "I'm leaving" never get much sympathy on forums, Chris Norse posted the classic response when these posts appear on the WoW forums.

I'm trying to join you. I've gone through the entire phonebook and not a single doctor is willing to put me into a coma and hook my brainwaves up to SL. Damn!

I love never having to bathe or go to the bathroom and still always looking fabulous. Who the hell needs RL!
