Triz, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and your new computer...sending positive nerdy thoughts your way! Tonight I got punk'd into quickly dressing up (like a firefighter on a call!) in formal wear to attend a party that was already over! Please note the deserted dance floor behind me.<insert sound of wind whistling desolately> And yes, I am trying out being a blonde this week. Except for the punking it's been true about the more fun thing, with apologies to my brunette sisters.

What a beautiful blonde you make Christine... And that is an extraordinary dress! If anyone had been there to see...you would have been the Belle of the Ball! No pun intended

"Issue with my inventory host." That is my latest error message. I CAN NOT GET ON and I am frustrated. COME ON my inventory is not that big!!! Thinking about Triz and her computer.

it's not that your inventory is too big, Mama ... there is an SL server which is unavailable temporarily, and everyone's inventory that is housed on that particular server is having trouble... the inventories of SL residents are spread out across many servers. of course, perhaps your inventory IS too big .. but that's a story for another day

I did the update and while I didn't crash, OMG was it S L O W! After the update it gave me a message that it automatically changed my settings for "optimal performance" based on my computer or whatever. I LIKED how I had it set and it worked great and now I can't remember how I had it set! lol Damn you SL!

It said the same thing to me. Is there anyway to go back to the old program? It was working fine for me. I think I will call help today and ask. Konnie

Konnie, I think you can uninstall the update / SL then reinstall the old one but need to be sure to clear your cache and reboot. There is discussion about this in the forum over on secondlife.com.

It should be more likely to be there, Konnie, because clearing the cache sends a new request to the inventory server so wandering items get returned. In theory. But, this is SL - the flip side of being able to do stuff like fly is that lots of other things are illogical too. And lol! I logged into my myspace last night for the first time since December and found a message from YOU, Konnie Larsen, chastizing me for never going into the chat. LOLOL! *I* am there a LOT now ... where are you?!

On my drive to work today I was thinking back on what I had done earlier that morning and realized that I may have a serious problem! Hummm let's see...I moved (SL limited to 13 at a time) over 1000 textures to a texture HUD. This is so I can just wear the HUD and be able to see all the textures inside of it and even do searches! I was then able to delete all the textures not copied into the HUD. Now I can only hope this HUD does not malfunction in the future! I also dug out another earring, a color change silver bauble bracelet, and a roman sandal (denim) that Nikki made.... out of my intestines. Why does SL not have x-ray machines for us poor female AVies with lots of Bling? I was actually thrilled to get that bracelet back...it was one of my favorites! Next I rushed over to see Mamba's new barbed wire fence that he put up around his Alien Research facility and watched him throw himself on the barbed wire where immediately his blood & bones started flying everywhere while he rolled around on the ground moaning horrendously . He thought that was so much fun----> while I was shaking my head in disgust. Let's see...next he took me up in his UFO so we could find some hapless victim to abduct. When no one was forthcoming he pushed me out of the space ship so he could practice on me! Well for some reason his beam doesn't work on me so he insulted me by saying I ate too much for breakfast! ---->For that he WILL PAY!
Once I was safely back on the ground.... a shadowy dark apparatus suddenly assaulted me! I hope it is still not in possession of my poor AVie after work today!
If I was to tell anyone in real life about my eventful morning....I would be committed! By the way...anyone know what time Clio's BB2 showing is tonight?

A bunch of us went to a party of a new SL Clothes designer and received new gowns!
This was the gown I received free,
And this is the one I loved so much that I payed full price for it...eat your heart out Christine
Thursday night a bunch of us will be modeling Rose Splendors gowns at a Pageant fashion show and once again we get to keep the gowns we are wearing. Yeah!!!!

The top picture is especially beautiful, Belle. It looks like it should be in a gallery or something. And by the top picture I mean the top one of the dresses. NOT the one where you are consorting with the alien (pretty though he may be, these cross-species things never end well. Do you watch NO sci fi movies at all?!).

Forget about the dress, I have my eye on those shoes in the second pic. Luv them Belle! Glad you took those pics of the alien, spaceship thing Belle! I was afraid no one would believe me when I posted on Clio's site that Konnie and I were abducted by aliens last night.

Daisy and Konnie you have justified my self imposed exile! Aliens have landed at the lofts. LOL!!!! I was so excited because I have gotten my inventory down to 9230 from over 12000 and I was very excited because I had created the newbie gift bag that actually worked. BUT IT WORKED TOO WELL!!!!. I tested it on my rl sis who is Marie Chenille in SL. And I made the fatal mistake of touching the box as well. Marie was able to retrieve the freebie stuff from the box but it took almost 30 minutes and it gave it to her item by item. She had to click "keep" about 800 hundred times. (Yes that's how many items I had put in the box, what was I thinking, LOL) My fatal mistake was because I also touched the box it gave me a copy of all my inventory back-----> so after stomping and screaming, I calmed down and deleted my new mother load of stuff. The good news is I am on items that begin with "I" in the main inventory screen; the bad news is I still haven't gotten to objects or shoes. I think it would go a lot faster if I didn't feel compelled to rezz objects to see some of the stuff I didn't even know I had! That's what I get for clicking every free box the first month I was in SL. I think my coolest find so far has been tiki torches, a party fogger, tons of vehicles and this slime ball that follows people. I hope you guys enjoy the dress I gave you last night. If you did not get it, IM me and I will send you another!!! See you all soon! I think ........LOL

HAHA, Sidda thanks to you I decided to start browsing through my inventory today (not ready for sorting yet.....soon though, as I'm near 8000 now) and I can't believe the crap I have. The gadgets, the smokes, the drinks, the textures, the vehicles.....good gravy. And Clio, I found among my crap the dance bracelet you have, LOL! I must have got it at the freebie place.....but you look much cuter dancing with it, LOL!

You look lovely in MY beautiful Azure Sky gown, Gigantor...er...Belle. BTW, I must share the latest update in the saga known as "My (Second) Life as a Blonde." Yesterday I was checking out a mall and was approached by a lovely newbie gentleman. He was rather tall, dark and seemed handsome, but it was hard to tell since pretty much everyone looks blurry to me, given my slow-graphics-loading computer. Anyways, we were having a nice conversation and I clued him in to good places to score freebie stuff. In return, he invited me to his SECRET CASTLE! He went on to explain that it wasn't really his secret castle, it was just a place he found to hide out in since he has no money to actually pay for a pretend roof over his head. I politely declined of course, since I never go to any strange man's secret castle, especially when it's not even his own secret castle. So...in summary...I am sure that I would never have been hit on by a homeless, penniless newbie squatter if I was still brunette. The blonde fun continues!

Here's a pic of my little studio that I moved into at the lofts. I have a big wall so decided to make a wall of friends. This pic doesn't show the entire wall but you get the idea.So if you don't see yourself, doesn't mean you're not there. I have everyone I think except some of the newest people. Of my 100 prims I think I have 22 or more just in pictures on this wall. I made them free to copy, except the ones Dimity took of Konnie and Belle, so if anyone wants one of themselves or someone else just come in and take a copy. Yes I ripped off these pics from ones you guys posted at tvch and willandjanelle, only a few are my original photos and the big one in the center wearing the Florida shirt is me as taken by Clio.

HAHAHA Chris....I'm a Blonde technically, that's what my hair color says anyway, lol, but I think it leans more towards very light brunette with highlights, lol....and yesterday, while discovering a new store that I can't believe no one told me about....some guy approached me and said, "D*mn shortie you're hot"....that's AFTER he ran me over, I guess trying to get a better look at my Avi hotness. THEN, after I said, "um, thanks" (I'm polite, no?), he goes "got a fine a** too!".....all I did was lol, LMAO. This was RIGHT AFTER I went to that freebie warehouse again to get more freebie gadgets and some guy came up to me and said "Nice belly ring! You're really hot".....how come I don't get any invites to secret castles! I just get guys wanting in my Avi-pants! Daisy you are TOO sweet, what a cute idea!!!

Here's a recent visitor to the new alien store up the beach. Konnie, Summer, and I did our best to assist him with his purchases. Here I am wearing my official TVCH Baby Make it Nice shirt greeting the alien and making him feel welcome.

Thanks for the encouragement Konnie, "Belly" and Autumn. The lines some guys use to hit on women is astounding. And they actually believe they will WORK! Today Belle took me to get one of those SL magic mirrors. She had to leave for work, so she basically dumped me off in some poorly lit corner of SL that was just crawling with creepy guys. I now believe it was actually a bordello that sells mirrors on the side. Thanks so much, Belle. A constant stream of losers from around the globe felt it necessary to get right up on my butt. Literally. One of them was very tall and hulking and was smashed up to my backside sooo closely, that when he typed it looked like he was reaching over my shoulders to fondle my SL breasts! (For those who don't know, when typing in SL your avatar's hands start moving up and down in front of you like you are playing the piano...or are one of those drum-playing fez-wearing monkey toys. But I digress...) When I ran away from him, he complained that I wasn't very social. Well Casanova or BigStevie or whatever dorky name you came up with...I was as social as I'm ever getting with you when you were super-glued to my backside. Sorry if the rivets on my back pockets left marks on your...groinal area. After him there was the guy from Belgium who told me,"You have nice bottum." Which could have meant button or bottom or botulism...or maybe possum. I dunno. I just knew I was done when the next shark to bump into me to see if I was food immediately told me about his unhappy marriage and wanted to make absolutely certain I was a woman in real life. Mercifully, SL crashed me and I never had to find out why, in his wildest dreams, that would EVER matter to him. The blonde fun continues? BTW...that's our Daisy, so sweet she is even nice to scary-looking aliens.
