SLE Police Reports- BREAKING NEWS! Beware of the Desperate potato packin half assed womanizer!

 

Second Life- 11/29/2020

During a concert at Terry’s Place on Sunday evening an outfit confused avatar by the name of TheEliteAlpha committed the shameful act of hitting on women who were dancing with their significant others.  This clown claimed to (BLEEP) their wives and show their husbands proof amongst other buffoonery claims. With nearly 2 years under his belt he still cannot complete a single outfit and totally went balls to the wall trying to be a two pump chump and not being able to make a slam dunk. If you see this clown at your venue please show him the door before he embarrasses himself any further.

GeekSpeak subject for Saturday 28th November at noon SLT

 GeekSpeak – International Living.

 

Let’s talk about living internationally.  What does it take to pack your bags and go and live abroad?  What practical issues do you need to cope with?  Language, money, travel documents?  Will you be able to find work abroad?  What happens if you can’t?  Is living abroad easier for some people?  Will the number of people who live abroad increase as online living becomes more important?

What kind of people will you meet?  Will you be able to understand their values, their view of life?  If you get used to living abroad will you ever want to go back home?  Will you move around from country to country?  Will you consider the planet as your home?  In the future, will people consider the solar system or even the Milky Way as their home? 

If you think you might want to live abroad come and discuss it with us.  Bring your passport and your friends!

Talkin' Turkey... Where To Get Thanksgiving Dinner On SL - STACEY CARDALINES REPORTING

 

Thanksgiving is coming, and that means someone- maybe you- is hosting dinner. You get no sympathy from this journalist, who lives near Plymouth, Massachusetts in a town founded by Myles Standish. I host every year, no question. Big ol' Catholic family, too. Local turkeys know my name and fear me.

Cooking for crowds is always hectic and is rarely fun. All you can do is set out a ton of food and keep the alcohol flowing. That is how it works on SL, as well.

Avatars don't need to eat. We're not gigapets, and you could starve your avatar for years without her losing a pound. Eating is something you do for grins on SL. That said, you should try to do it well when you do it.

This goes double when it is Thanksgiving. You most likely eat with real people on Thanksgiving, but you may be on SL later in the day. You may even end up hosting an SL Thanksgiving party, and people coming to that party are going to be expecting turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and all that other good stuff. You can f**k around on Easter and Christmas with roast beef or ham... but in November, you'd better be bringin' the Gobbler. If not, I can't even do business with you.

Since avatars don't need food, that leads to supply/demand problems when looking to layout a turkey dinner spread in your SL home or business. Even if you find a friggin' turkey, good luck finding butternut squash or green bean casserole. There may be a potato farm sim somewhere, and some other sim might have a cranberry bog, but you're eventually going to hit a wall somewhere on the menu if you try to score the ingredients individually.

Fortunately, the good people at the Food Connection have taken care of all that for you. You can go in, drop what I believe is 200 Ls and have a big huge table with all the Thanksgiving necessities. Turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potato pie, stuffing, some green thing that I assume is associated with Southern sorts of Thanksgiving, cranberry sauce, rolls, carrots and all the other stuff that Charlie Brown didn't come up with in his Thanksgiving special dinner.

Here's the address... Food Connection  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Depoz%20W/121/28/27

A few facts on certain Thanksgiving menu items that will let you DOMINATE the dinner table conversation:

- Turkeys are not indigenous to the nation of Turkey. They are native, and were at one time unique, to North America. The Spanish sold them to Arab merchants, and the bird was introduced to Europe via Turkish markets. They have been common holiday fare in Europe since The 1600s. In the classic story A Christmas Carol, Scrooge springs for a turkey as he redeems himself.

- "Cranberry sauce" is what John Lennon says at the end of Strawberry Fields Forever. He liked nonsense words in his song, and he thought "cranberry sauce" sounded funny. I have read that he detested the stuff. Many misheard the lyric as "I buried Paul," and the Paul Is Dead rumors gained steam.

- The Irish became so dependent on potatoes that, when a blight hit Irish spuds in the 1840s, the resulting famine killed 25% of the Irish population. 

- Stephen King originally handed his publisher a story called Children Of The Asparagus, but his agent talked him into using Corn. OK, I made that up.

- People in the southern US, bitter over losing the Civil War, viewed Pumpkin Pie as a symbol of Yankee culture and refused to serve it. Sweet Potato Pie was substituted into holiday menus in the former Confederate states.

- Green Bean Casserole was invented by the Campbell's Soup people and is the major mover of Cream of Mushroom Soup. Dorcas Riley headed the group that invented it. Cranberry Sauce was invented by Ocean Spray, a Massachusetts cranberry conglomerate. The same guy that introduced cranberry sauce to America also invented Cranapple and various cocktails such as the Cape Codder, the Madras, the Sea Breeze, the Cosmopolitan, and- no joke- roll-on deodorant.

- The original spread at the first Thanksgiving was waterfowl, venison, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, and squash. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Spotlight on T&N Creations- Ghost Explorer Reporting...

And I said to myself...What a wonderful world!

Second Life - A place where all your dreams can come true.  You can have a perfect home, meet friends from around the world, ask this perfect stranger out, go for dinner in Paris, dessert in Japan and a final gondola ride in Venice before dancing the night away at Apollo's Garden.

Now you are thinking of the next stage of this magical relationship; SL Partnering!  But it is so costly.  You want all the lights and glam, but it is so expensive! You want perfect coordination, but it is so costly!  You want to remember your special day forever, but it is not in the budget!

Fear not.  What if I told you that your dream day is achievable without you having to rob a Linden bank?  I came across Second Life's perfect events location while flying my Fatal Custom Widowmaker Bike over a few sims and landed at T&N Creations.  I was welcomed by Trinity and Nawty Rivers, owners of T&N Creations. The beautiful ladies were wonderfully accommodating and granted me a tour and an interview right away.

I marveled at the landing point where you can check yourself and make sure that you are fully rezzed before proceeding.  The pathway leading to the venue can only be described as a dream garden where the colors are perfectly planned for visual effects.  Rides are available to take you to the event venue in case you do not want to walk or fly.  Need a place to hang out while waiting for the ultimate hour, an elegant hidden room is at your disposal.  The venue itself is a work of art.  Imagine the option to change colors to match your vision at the touch of a button.  Beauty can be partially described but must be seen to be enjoyed.

Now, you are probably reading this and thinking that this will cost me a prim arm and leg.  Again, don't worry.  I sat down with Trinity Rivers and Nawty Rivers for a casual interview while sampling mint tea from their offices.

Interview

Ghost Explorer- Beautiful venue you have here.  I am impressed.

Nawty  Rivers- Thank you! Trin and I put a lot of hard work and sweat into it.

Ghost Explorer - What was the motivating factor in creating this amazing place?

Trinity Rivers  - Someone's wedding day is very important.  It should not be cheapened by the amount of lindens you can spend.  This venue is our lowest priced venue. Even though people may not have much or want to spend as much,  we want them to have the best we can give.

Ghost Explorer - That is very noble of you.  Anything else you can host here?

Trinity Rivers - Oh we can do anything with style.  For example,  weekend getaway.

Nawty Rivers - Birthday parties, anniversary events, vow renewals, romantic proposals.

Ghost Explorer - So what if someone wants to do something really quick like a drive-through wedding?

Nawty Rivers - Vegas style?  We got you covered at T&N Creations!

Ghost Explorer - This is truly amazing ladies and I thank you for your time and the T&N Mint tea.  So hypothetically, if I needed to tie the knot, where would I start?

Trinity Rivers - It is as easy as reaching out to us and we will show you all the packages.

Nawty Rivers - And you can make a choice based on your preferences.

As I got on my bike and slowly hovered over the beautifully crafted landscape, I got a full view of where a perfect event can be held.  Kissed by a golden sunset, I smiled at the two ladies waving goodbye to me and disappeared into the clouds towards my next adventure.

GeekSpeak – How did language really start? Join the discussion Sat. Nov 21st at 12pm SLT

What was the origin of our language system?  Did it start with humans or did some animals have a language before us?  Do some animals have a language, or a proto language, now?  Maybe our language started as a sign language, maybe spoken words came later.

Did we once have just one language on Earth?  What made languages grow apart?  Are there some universal words, like ‘ouch’ perhaps, that exist in all languages?

What is the future of language?  Will we eventually have one language over all the Earth, just as we once did when our species began?  Will that language be a spoken, or written, or sign language? Will we forever keep changing our ways to communicate?

Help us to find the answers in GeekSpeak.  Bring all your international and animal friends!

TREES FOR THE HOLIDAYS: TEX’S TREE FARM – JOSH (THOMAS1 BELLIC) REPORTING.

 

Sooo..the year 2020 will certainly go down in history as one of the more “dynamic” years we have had in some time.  Many of us look forward to stability and tradition in an unstable World.  One of the more cherished traditions, is to decorate for the Holidays. The sights and sounds of the season abound as the rough edges in life are covered with a lovely blanket of snow.  Usually, folks wait until after Thanksgiving to begin decorating for the holidays, but this year is different.  You can already see decorations springing up all over, not only in Real Life, but in SecondLife as well, as snow-covered Sims begin to carpet the grid.

I had the very real pleasure of visiting Tex’s Tree Farm last week.  Both Tex, and his partner, Summer, were up to their elbows in boxes of Christmas Decoration as they busily decorated their Sim for the holidays.  Despite this activity, they were able to carve out enough time to graciously answer my questions about their operation.

Josh (Thomas1 Bellic):    Hi Tex, Hi Summer. Thanks for inviting us back again this Winter to tour your lovely Sim.  You guys always do a great job here, and I am sure that, along with other Christmas Traditions, a visit to Tex’s Tree Farm will soon become an annual trek for many of the grid’s more discerning residents.

So then, what is the “Tex’s Tree Farm” difference that makes your place unique among the hundreds of sims on SL?

Tex Humby:  Tex's Tree Farm is unique because we are the only tree farm that you can chop down your own tree with an axe. We have created in SL a full family experience like you would have in RL cutting down your own Christmas Tree.

 

JB:  What was your inspiring “Ahh Haaa” moment when you first realized that a “chop down your own Christmas Tree” would become a reality in SL?

TH:  We knew chopping down a tree isn't new in SL with RP Sims. But we never saw anyone cutting down a Christmas Tree; So we put our heads together and found a workable solution so that Real Life experience could be brought to SL, for SL families to be able to have that same Family tradition they experience in RL.

 

JB:  I see you have a Gift shop here also?  What might the discerning shopper find in there?

TH:  Under the Tree Christmas Shop is an extension to Tex's Tree Farm. We have 100s of Christmas Gacha from the best creators Items such as Rare Christmas Trees, food to toys. Our Gacha Toy section is one the biggest Gacha toy shops in SL. The second floor are non gacha items for your home decor. We also have our Pet adoption center filled with gacha pets waiting to be adopted this yea.  And for all those that love Harry Potter we have a Magical Menagerie with an array of beasts and magical creatures. Careful! Some do bite.

 

JB:  I think I saw a guy with a streaming hot cup of coffee and a donut.  Where can a chilled tree shopper grab a bite to eat around here?

TH:  Our Deer Ridge Cafe is where you will stop after a long hard day of cutting trees. Stop by our cafe and get a warm cup of Hot Chocolate or cider. We also have several options for meals and soups to get your energy back for more shopping or ice skating.

 

JB:  How do you two figure out the division of labor here?  Which of you does what, normally?

TH:  Summer and I have been together for 6 years in this game and from that moment we became not only partners but partners in business. We both love creating. My wife Summer builds the trees and I make sure everyone can cut them down and keep the sim running smoothly. We have a great partnership in love and in business that keeps going. Every day is a new adventure in our creativity.

JB:  Do you guys design your own trees?  Or are these obtained elsewhere and brought here?

TH:  We do design our own trees. These trees are all are one of a kind.  Each year we design new ones so there are always several more trees each year for families to come and have new options each year for their family tree.

JB:  Do you operate the tree farm year-round?  Or do you do something else with the property during the off-season?

TH:   We do not. We own several other businesses so half our year is spent with upgrades or building new sims and the other half is getting ready for the Christmas season and the trees. The tree farm ends January 10th every year. That is when we put in our samplings to get ready for the next winter season. All of our other locations on the sim are open year-round.

JB:  I see you also have a lovely residential area here as well?  Can you share something about that with our readers?

TH:  We do own several rental business and Deer Ridge Cabins and Cottages is one that we have set up for that winter season.  Deer Ridge is unique and decorated for that cozy warm winter season. And we do have residents all year as well. Those are always open 

 

JB:  Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

TH:  Come and see the vast array of trees we have to offer. All our trees have decorating options which allows you to pick and choose which decorations you would like to see on each tree. Stop by the cafe for a hot drink or a hot soup to warm you back up for more shopping at Under the Christmas Tree Shop. There is so much to do and see. Start your families Christmas tradition this year at Tex's Tree Farm. The experience is waiting for you.

There you have it, Folks. The trees for sale at Tex’s Tree Farm are beautiful (especially at midnight) and are very reasonably priced. While not actually built as a “romance sim”, taking that special someone with you to select a tree for your home or business and wander the isles at the gift shop will make for a highly memorable Date Night for you both.  By selecting and cutting down your own Christmas Tree, you can continue a family tradition (or even start a new one), AND, enjoy some shopping therapy in the process.     Accomplish two things with one trip.  Sounds like a Win-Win to me.

Be there!  Aloha

JB
