Well, that's not fun
It's hard enough having a computer that's not up to snuff with Second Life, and when they shut stuff down, it's like running in slow motion. Oh well, I should be grateful.

Hmmm, I have lots of computer parts, maybe I can bring your system up to "par"? wink

If you also post or PM me the make and numbers of your computer, I can see if it can be upgraded.

Hey Guys and Gals,

SU and I are planning our 25th Anniversary / Costume Party on our Second Life Island sometime the week of the 22nd ... the exact day and time will be announced a little closer to the time ... so we can make sure SU can be home and/or have a good Internet access to be able to participate.

We are going to have all kinds of Halloween decorations ... and ... fun planed ... we are trying to find an cheep contest board so that we can have a costume contest and the grand prize will be 1000 L$'s ... and the board will split it if there is a tie of any kind

We have made some awesome friends on SL ... and ... we have some really cool renters on our island and are hopping that as many of our friends can and will attend ...

For those of us that have slow computers and experience a good bit of Lag ... we are trying to find decoration items that are low in Prims and low in Scripts .... so that everyone can have a really good time ...

So come and join us as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary ... Halloween Style ... On Second Life ...

I'm excited for the party!! I got most of my costume, just need to fine tune it. I'm not telling a single soul what I'm going to be! lol! You wont be able to pry it out! I hope others will join in the fun on the Island! I am very happy to be a renter on IO's and SU's Island. It is a peaceful place to just hang out and enjoy the scenery and sounds. And if you feel like having a beer and dancing....so be it! What ever tickles your fancy! wink

My favorite thing on the island to do is bug everyone.....no, not really......lol, I try not to!! I love to go jet skying! And now that I have a new airship, I love to do that too if I dont crash into the side of a mountain. lol.

Give it a try! It's nice to have a place online to have fun at, chat, meet other people if you want to, do all sorts of things, admire people's creations. Build things, etc!

How I became intrigued by Second Life

I used to play the computer game Tomb Raider (Lara Croft, they later made a movie of it with Angelina Jolee). I loved that game and played it in the evenings after dinner. I loved that the Lara avatar was large on the screen, moved through villages and countryside, spoke with people, drove vehicles! However what I didn't like was that she would run into danger, die, drown, fall, die, get stung by huge bees, die, get attacked by mummies or spiders, die! I hated all of that!! It scared me and was terribly frustrating!! So I stopped the games all together. I missed the fun I had on there outside of the violence. The scenery was great.
A friend of mine recently (May '08) turned me on to Second Life. I had no idea what it was! It's not really a game. It's a life in a way! At first it was really confusing. I had to get help from time to time and figure out the ropes. You kind of learn as you go. Like anything else. Ask questions from people in different sims (lands) on how to do certain stuff. Go to the second life website, which is probably your best bet before you dive in and get lost.
There is a thing called LAG on SL, it's when certain sims run like molassis running up hill in the dead of winter!! Makes you want to scream at times. Clearing Caches helps greatly. That feature is on your SL dashboard under Edit I believe.
I love SL and adore my new found friends IO and SU!! And now meeting others on the island as well. Can't wait for our Halloween Party! HOOOO! (arms flung in the air!)
So, that's how I fell into SL. It started with Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, who is still my virtual hero! Now I am Cosmic Sorbet on Second Life! And yes, I found a Lara Croft uniform on SL in a costume shop while hunting for halloween outfits with IO!! LOL But that's not what I'm wearing to the party (wink, wink).
Hope to see more friends on Snip Isle and I hope you weren't too bored reading this! LOL

That's a good overview, Cosmic. I'm still wondering what to do with myself. I've been at the hair store for the past several days. I hope they don't throw me out.

cosmic · Yankee Girl

Hi Entre,
I'm going to SL and find your name in Search and 'Befriend' you! This way I'll know when you go online to SL and we could hook up! biggrin

I can give you landmark that you can get free stuff if you don't have any Linden dollars. Linden dollars are very hard to accumulate. It's best to 'buy' them with real money through your account when you signed up. You can get several hundred if not more for like $10 U.S. dollars.
All the good clothes and hair and stuff costs Linden's.

I think I got a message from you this morning. I'm going to try to log on tonight. smile

I thinks she looks good also ...

We just need to help her lean the ropes ... and over time she will get use to moving around ... I still have a little problem with it ... mainly me hitting the wrong key ... so if I bump into you ... please do not take it the wrong way ...

And we need to help her find some nice close .... I know where a lot of free stuff is ... not all of it is nice ... but ... it will help out to have some choices for free at first ...

It was nice to see her on last night ... and I hope that she will come more often when I am their ...

Oh ... and I missed you last night Cosmic ... hope things are ok!

Hi IO! I missed you last night too!!! I was dancing up a storm in real life at a birthday party at a Ramada Inn near me! I got in at midnight, to find my dog and two cats got into the garbage can and spewed it all over the kitchen floor!!!! ARGH!! I was sooooo not in the mood to clean that up but I had to and then went straight to bed!!!
I won't be on SL tonight either. Going to a Fall Festival until late tonight. There will be a bonfire there!
We should have a bonfire on SL too for our party wink
