I Was Also Unfriended by Ziggy

"I cleared my friends list of these blood suckers so I could move on and start fresh without hiding as an alt. They just can't seem to get me off their minds the poor little teatsy flies.", said by Ziggy Starsmith on his blogpost today.

It is of course everyone's prerogative to choose whom they they wish to have on their friends list in SecondLife or not.

When someone told me a couple of days ago that Ziggy had trashed them, I checked my own friends list and discovered I had also been trashed, along with my husband Tomais. 

I sent Ziggy an IM, in which I told him that I had seen that he had trashed our friendship and that I was sorry to see him go. I also wished him well for the future. I wouldn't call it "whining", but it seems that Ziggy does.

Of course I would never wish to remain on someones friends list if they consider me to be a whining blood sucker who prevents them from living their SecondLife as they wish. Should anyone ever feel this way about me, I hope they will do as Ziggy and trash our friendship at once.

Ever felt pressure to “be a man?” American Male, a short film from MTV’s Look Different Creator Competition, is a gritty look at how gender norms make it hard for us to be who we really are. Head to privilege.lookdifferent.org for more on the issue and how to take action.

WOW! This short film by Michael Rohrbaugh on gender norms is really powerful and hard hitting. It punches you right in the solar plexus.

The New Barn at SC

All landowners feel the need to improve their real estate properties from time to time. This is also true for the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls etc., etc.

The laird and his consort have entertained themselves with a project at the parcel in North Western corner of the Southern Charm sim, the barn.

The agreed upon goals before the project started was to beautify, modernize and - hopefully - cut down the LI ("land impact", i.e. in the old days "prims").

The old barn was replaced with a new one in mesh, some of the old stuff with nostalgic connotations were kept and reused, while others were removed and in some cases returned to their owners as the rights to move them had been lost.

One particular benefit of the new barn is that the new barn has a proper attic, which has been insulated for comfort both in hot and cold weather and has central heating and cooling installed. The lairds blogging office can now be used all year and not only in spring and fall.
