I sent the following response as soon as I saw the e-mail (at 4 AM in the morning my time when I woke up to "wash my hands").

"Hi Theresa,

You have my full consent!

Yours,
Bock"

P.S. In hindsight I wish I had asked Theresa to be gentle with me, because as a Kinsey type 6 this would be my first time with a woman. It´s been bugging me since I sent the email...

Mesh-Monster or A Support Ticket #01587329 Experiment

Today I made an experiment to check what would happen if I allowed my stepson Guyke to take Bock for a spin on his machine. Would the problems I have encountered in-world for the last two months still occur? I also told him that while he was at it, he might as well equip me with some of the mesh-clothing he loves so much.

Well, as it turned out none of my problems occurred when Bock was run on Guyke´s machine, no repeats in local chat or IM, no double teleports, no double purchases etc., etc. And he also got me an outfit from KalRau that I love, I may have to reevaluate my attitude and resistance towards mesh-clothing after all.

When I once again took over Bock the problems came back again. So I guess it means something but I cannot imagine what, except that the issues are connected to me and my machine rather than to SecondLife.

WARNING Just a word of advice in closing, only let someone you trust totally, absolutely and without any reservations take your avatar for a spin.

  Hello Bock,

I want to first thank you for providing so much helpful and needed information about this case. I wish more cases were in depth like this one.  I am very sorry to hear about these issues you are having and this situation is very unique.  I do have a question for you that I could not see an answer for:  Are you using a Hardwired or Wireless internet connection?  I will probably have more questions, but this is very vital, and I wanted to start here.  Thank you for any additional info you can contribute!

I sent the following answer.

"Hello Theresa,

I am using a Hardwired Internet connection.

I have also tried out my alternate accounts all of them seem OK except for one other that gets the same repetition in local chat. However I do not use those accounts much at all and it has only been on the home sim so the value of this discovery is limited I should think.

Another thing I would like to add, is that it seems like I the system tries to repeat my teleports also, because after every time I have teleported I now get a pop up telling me that teleports are blocked. This happens when I am actually at the place I wanted to tp to.

Kind regards

Why Dej Called Me A Pervert

The subject of our conversation
Mikedacook Dinzeo

When I was speaking with my brother in-law Dej yesterday, I told him that I was going to Mikedacook Dinzeo´s birthday party later. Dej told me he remembered Mike from the old days.

I then confessed to Dej, that for a long time I had always mistakenly misread Mikey´s name as "Mikedacock" (with a c instead of an o).

Dej laughed and said "Pervert!". When I agreed with him and said "Yeah that's what I thought too" he laughed again and said "No, I meant you!".

I had to admit he was right of course. Isn't it strange how our brains sometimes play games with us and lets us read what we believe should be there, not what actually is written?

The craft of proofreading is really not adequately appreciated in our time.

Two Parties

This was the evening of the two parties, both with great DJ´s.

I started out at Mikedacook "Mikey" Dinzeo´s birthday party. Mikey and I share the same birthday in first life and there was a third guy named Kevin at the party who had a birthday next week. GO CAPRICORNS!

Ryce Skytower and his husband Benja Aquila where at the party too (see pics above). They were - as always - all over each other but sweet all the same.

Next I was invited to drop in at DJ Shepherd´s set, and of course I could not say no to that, even if I had discussed the importance of being able to say "No" with Mikey´s husband Robin Dinzeo earlier in the evening.

The loving couple at this party were my stepson Guyke and his partner Ziggy, they looked cuter than ever!

Besides the pleasant company and the great music at both parties it was another hell night for me. All my problems were there and I realized that I also repeat my teleports. I sure hope that Linden Lab can help me soon because this is killing me.

Salvaging A Lost Friday

One of the greatest benefits with having two realities is that if you have wasted away a day in your first life you are given a possibility to salvage it in your second.

I slept through this Friday in my first life, but as my first life Friday is about to end I am preparing to snatch something of it in my SecondLife.

I hope to see you all at Mikedacook "Mikey" Dinzeo´s birthday bash.

I finally lost patience with the problems I have been having for more than two months (see my previous post Technical Malfunctions) and submitted a support ticket to my darling tech-geeks at Linden Lab, even if many have told that they themselves - or someone they know - have had similar issues that suddenly stopped after awhile.

I got the following confirmation via email from Linden Lab..
