Belated update: this post got “stuck”in draft form until our return to a more civilized level of bandwidth. We returned Sunday and I have only just begun to recover from the trauma of traveling from Tropical Paradise to Midwestern Purgatory. However, the Outworld Cat, Lord of All Housemonkeys is glad to be home from the Kitty Spa. See below for a bit of my Outworld adventures. I’ve been in the chosen land of my birth for some 10 days; although unable to get inworld on the asthmatic wheeze laughably known as my laptop, I have been enjoying a time of…

Off-grid vacation almost over. We were a little TOO off grid the last 4 days, actually longing for home, bed, but not snow. # @SecondLie Can't wait for Hamlet's soliloquiy on that one. # @revpaperboy O RLY? Must search http://t.co/cRzWKoYr for your dulcet tones. # You know the vacation's over when the TP runs out and housekeeping is waiting until checkout time. # @revpaperboy Looking forward to it. You'll announce in group, Comrade Boozehound? # My partner keeps checking our home webcam, which shows a driveway full of snow. #alohaHawaii # @daftapeth In my dreams! My normal location got snow…

@binaryblevins So sorry! Would it help if I told you it was raining? 😉 # @vicwu The slack-jawed individual in the front table might have objected strenuously. But I've done that at the health club! # @DaleInnis Congratulations on becoming one of the BIC (Blogroll Inner Core) # @isfullofcrap @DaleInnis Seemed appropriate as it's about writing. # Typist is on holiday in her imagined birthplace. #

The information in this post from DGP4SL Blog is extremely helpful and I really, really wish I’d known some of this before, as I’ve been somewhat (okay, alotwhat) cavalier about my Magic Boxes. Especially helpful: turns out its a good idea to have duplicates, in case your “main store” sim is offline. I’d never known how to get the Marketplace to update their list of servers: you have to go a bit “old skool” at the SL Exchange site. So THAT’s why it’s still live… That’s all well and good but how does the Marketplace know which Magic Boxes you…

@spyvspyaeon Have you changed your passward yet? 😀 Figured it was something like that. # It may begin with a single plywood box, but it ends and dozens of badly textured linked button prims on a texture organizer. #SecondLife # At least I was able to fix it; hadn't backed up the organizer just after loading dozens of textures. # At least I got a lot of stuff sorted, thanks to a nudge from a post by @Mar_SL4Nowt # @peterwingfield Well done moo! (Greetings from an increasingly geriatric HL Watcher) # @isfullofcrap @AbelUndercity Oh, I can't wait to see the…

In September, Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) launched an inquiry to determine whether Planned Parenthood uses public money to fund abortions. Planned Parenthood receives federal money but cannot use it to provide abortions. Komen has a long history of providing funding to various Planned Parenthood affiliates for such services as manual breast exams and referrals for mammograms and biopsies to check suspicious lumps for cancer. Although that money is not used for abortions, the Komen Foundation may have yielded to demands from antiabortion groups to sever its ties to Planned Parenthood.

This angers me, too. A friend’s partner died of liver cancer yesterday, and a RL family member is… probably not going to be around for the Relay For Life survivor’s lap in July. This is unjust; it stratifies cancer charities into “worthy” and “unworthy” if small charities can’t use the phrase or even the word “cure” for their events. I am still collecting links and trying to verify any relationship between Relay For Life, a charity of the American Cancer Society, and the Susan G Komen Foundation. I will no longer be buying products using the Susan G Konen foundation…

This is disturbing and so very wrong. The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women. The change will mean a cutoff of hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, mainly for breast exams. Link: NPR.org » Komen Charity Ends Grants To Planned Parenthood

Thanks to Mar’s SL For Nowt post, I was motivated to sort a lot of textures scattered through many folders – some were class downloads, some were unnecessary product ads from hunt gifts and purchases, a lot were unsorted textures from packs, some were retrieved from my indespensable ETO texture organizer and never sorted into project folders or storage. All well and good, except that at the end of the night, I accidentally retextured the organizer itself with a standard texture grid – ALL the buttons, forward/back buttons, categories, the lot. NOOOOOOOOOOO! I was up until 2am fixing it. But…
