Snackie, I would LOVE to come but I'm behind on the video thingy and better stick to what I'm doing unless we all want to stand around and stare at one another all night.

I may have to come to the NEXT class!

Clio, the Guard is a "Buddy"...a little protection and Avi radar thingy:-) They are copyable so we can give you one tonight...the only problem is that you should have a little training before you use them. They are menu driven and you can push a poor innocent Avi 3 sims away :-)

I've found best way to use mine is to have it follow the griefer...this is one of the options. It will stay on their tail for a good 20 minutes... even if they TP away. It seems to drive the griefers crazy to have the buddy follow it everywhere they go and they usually leave right away to get away from it. The buddy will automatically come back to your inventory after about an hour:-)

Mamba has a nice security system for his land that Trena, Sidda and I are going to look at. It is Group access only and Mamba said that no one can get in using the camera lens that way.

So Konnie...what are you wearing tonight to Clio's? I always seem to do well by following your example :-)

AHHHH!!!! Did you all just read how I said I'm behind on the video cranking out? !LOL! And then one of my best RL buds informs me that she will be dropping by my house in between work and church tonight (which is in two hours!)

How do I explain to her that she can't because I'm busy getting a BB video ready for pretend land??? LOL! I just told her, NO! lol

Okay, so, even as a basic member you can buy land and build/have a house there? Someone explain, please, lol, I'm confused because I thought the only way you could purchase land was if you were a premium member. If you can purchase land and all that without being premium, I'm going to tell him to downgrade and I won't even bother upgrading my account.

I DID teach him how to get a cabin for rent. BUT, for some reason, even though he's listed as the renter on the box, he can't set out objects. It's a cabin similar to the one you have rented Clio. I even went to your area, tried renting a cabin there and setting out an object and it wouldn't let me, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Does he have to contact the owner of the land and ask to be added to permissions or some such in order to set objects out? I told him I'm having a hard time helping him 'cause you ladies were all so helpful when I moved into the lofts, now I'm lost, LOL!

I can't wait for tonight.....I got a fun pink outfit to wear the other day!

Wow, couldnt have been better timing!

Care, Im selling my land, and going to move into the lofts :-) The lot is on an island, an estate sim, and its next door to a TVCH member :-)

You DONT need to have a premium account to get this land, because the monthly tier goes to the sim owner who then pays LindenLabs.

The plot is 582 prims, and monthly tier is only $9.40 (US Dollars). It's on a small island in the sim, with 3 other plots on the island. The other 2 neighbors are nice enough, but a bit strange :P The view is beautiful, youre right ont he edge of the sim with two sides of your land being the ocean :-)

IM me in-world at Dimity Ramaty :-)

You have to be a member of the group the land is a part of in ordet to rez objects. RIght click on the terrain and see if you see a group listed. Add yourself to that group, activate it and you you should then be able to rez things. If that doesn't work, he'll need to contact the land owner.

In the sim I'm in, renting the plot from the owner costs more per month than buying. If you rent, you have to deed the land to a ground, like 3LOLs. If you buy, it's YOUR land, and you can do whatever, without a group. All you need to follow is the Estate's/Sim Convenant :-)

Speaking from experience, owning is so much better than renting! You can do whatever you want on your land --as long as it does not violate the sim covenant. I have a few plots with houses on them and a few that are open. I practice building on the open ones and will be renting the houses on the others soon--I hope.
Autumn the difference between premium buying and nonpremium buying is: To buy linden land you have to be a premium member--its called mainland. The other lands(sims) are owned by others outside of linden. That land you do not need to be a premium member. With linden you pay the monthly fee for premium membership and with the others you pay whats called a monthy tier. So either way you can buy land for a certain price, but you will pay some type of monthly fee for the sim maitenance.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys! Rose, sorry I didn't IM you back this morning. Got tangled up in a prim dress tutorial and I made such a mess of it, I determined not to play until I figured it out. Maybe later tonight?

Regarding land: I think owning is better than buying. My advice would be to hang on for a bit though, because linden is releasing new land soon for first land. Search every night under land sales/ first land and grab it if you see some for sale.

My first land cost 512L for a 512 sq m parcel. I resold it a week or so later for 12500. Bought a larger parcel with that and sold it a few weeks later and made more profit with that. Used that money to buy the land I have my apartments on. That's what is good about land owning, you can improve it and sell it.

Fab, you can make t-shirts with sayings on them. You download the clothing templates at secondlife.com, open them in photoshop or paint shop pro, and put the text on the shirt in there. Then you save it as a targa file and upload the texture to sl, go into edit appearance, find your file and turn the texture into a shirt.

I have been trying hard to learn all of that and even though I'm getting the procedures down, I still really suck at it. I did make a baby make it nice shirt that I'd like to share with everybody. It may not be exactly like Janie's, I can't completely remember what hers looked like, but still, it's prob close enough.

Clio, could I drop one of the shirts in your inventory, put copy permissions on it, and you could stick it in a box and put it out at your place tonight, so whoever wanted one could just take one?

Oh, I also wanted to mention that I'm on a nice piece of land. There's a lot of parcels for sale. There are still places with a water border available, but you can't place anything on the water. It isn't linden land, so you don't have to have a premium acct.

It costs 8000 for 1024 sq m and you get like 484 prims. Instead of the 9.95 per month for linden fees, the fees on this land are like 8.00. There is a covenant, but it's very minimal. You can build whatever you want on the land, resell, subdivide, whatever....

Fab, here's a tshirt tutorial for ya. It really simplifies making a tshirt.

If you don't have photoshop or paintshop pro, you can also use a program called gimp, which is downloadable free, online. I've never used gimp, so I don't know much about it.

what a fun night! Clio, you are truly the hostess with the mostest! Watching BB2 together and commenting on it was so much fun!

Everyone looked great in their pink. And even the fellas got into the spirit!

Here is a pic of Konnie, Me, and Noved swaying in front of the Jesus Will Pic.
Good Times!

PS, Rose is pretty fierce on a stripper pole. But rumor has it, she only takes $20's.

I own mainland property. It is more expensive than the estates or islands, and there is no covenants to keep it looking a certain way. It is on a Linden server, and I pay tier (bandwidth $$ ) to the Lindens. The large plot next to me is selling for 3 grand USD to a company, who is putting their headquarters there. The developer who is building the property will make sure that we still have water access and even swap plots with us as needed. I live on an old SIM that has held its value well. LOL.

For most people, renting a place or buying from an estate owner is fine. Robin's land is much cheaper than mine was. by about half. For fun, it's a much better choice, you temporarily get more bang for your buck.

And when Linden brings another server or two on, the land prices for mainland may drop. However the land grab of first land is a little messy and quite ugly, as newbies put up all kinds of things on little plots. lol

The entire economy could actually collapse and people who think they are holding valuable land, will be SOL, it is a precarious situation to be in. But a LOT of FUN.

A couple of shots from my attempt at being a fashion photographer...

Arol...


I have decided that scrap this method and instead have bought a group pose ball. I'll be yelling at everyone over the next couple of days to take some group shots.

Yep, even Maurice got decked out in his pink. I was ESPECIALLY impressed with the fellas making an effort.

Glad everyone had fun, I did to although I think I had a bit more fun because I had fun planning and decorating too. Big thanks to Noved and Fabs for the flowers.

The next show is tentatively scheduled for next Monday night (was going to be Wednesday, but I just realized that's Valentine's day.) From now on, only eviction nights will be theme nights and on the OTHER nights, dress code will be "come as you are."

Also, I need a volunteer to be my assistant, lol. I'm serious as a heartbeat. I need someone to man the door (not literally, well, maybe literally) just someone for everyone else to contact if they need a TP in etc. I get SO overloaded with TP-ing people and working the TV and making sure folks are facing the right way when they are worshipping the Jesus Will, lol! Help!

Why temporarily Rose?

You all know the "Rock Star Palace" I mentioned above? I strongly suggest that everyone go take a tour (you can do a search for it, then it's located on land at the back of the store that you are teleported to.) It is truly the most amazing thing I've seen in SL to date. The building is SO BIG I literally got lost in it. We'll have to go to take some pics in at least anyway.

I wish the nature of time spent doing internet stuff wasn't so liquid or I'd LOVE to buy a big hunk of land with you all and start some kind of chic hottie commune in it, ha ha.
