Lessons

Well, today I met up with another friend from SL, Cedrick.

He took me to ... damn, I forgot the name, but I will call it HOBO land. LOL It's kind of a tongue and cheek sort of place. A hobo village. I Laughed at the Hobo house... a large cut out cardboard box ! Pictured here, we are sitting in front of a fire, which appeared to be made up all kinds of discarded items !

Cedrick imparted some valuable lessons. One, Keep your inventory Clean and Organized. When I really looked at mine, it was a sad sight. So, I have some organizing and cleaning to do. Its easy to let your Inventory get away from you... People sending you things, you buy things, accepting landmarks and freebies... It makes for a huge mess if you don't stay on top of it.

The second piece of wisdom he imparted was, be aware of other people's feelings here. After all, this is more than a game. There is a REAL PERSON behind the Avatar you are interacting with. So real, thoughts and emotions come into play. Both very good lessons I hope I have learned, and will abide by.

I also "teleported" around SL for a while... I actually found a place that serves a good Martini.

I only wish they would serve them with a few more Olives !!!

One last tidbit here. Xstreet is an "offworld" website that is connected to Second Life. There you can also buy just about anything. Instead of shopping through out Second Life, you can log onto Xstreet and do searches for the items that you would like to own. Then you pay for them just like you do in Second Life. (LindenDollars)

So I believe that there will be a little shopping in my future !
