Bee Comes to SL

My RL husband has watched me learn, use, enjoy, and grow in SL for the past 18 months with pride but not much interest. He brags about my accomplishments and relationships in SL to friends and family but has insisted it wasn't for him.
Finally this weekend he ventured in anew and let me take him through some basic training until he felt comfortable. He actually liked it. I still don't see him using it to play, and that's okay. He may attend some meetings and meet some colleagues here from time to time.

	Hey, Mikey, he likes it!

Squatter

I'm squatting on land for my friend Jazmemo. Yosemite found this sim reserved for educators and showed the rest of us, who were recently made homeless by the loss of Voyager by Skipper Burns. She rented a small parcel and her sister, Gator, and Gator's husband, Harry, bought one, too. I'd get one myself if I hadn't just rented a place for five weeks. Jazmemo is on vacation so I'm sitting on the parcel she wants until the owner comes back online and I can rent it for her. We can settle up when she returns. We think poor Skipper must have passed away or become incapacitated in some way. He was a very responsible region owner. Unfortunately I lost $135 real American dollars buy buying Channel. I did have it for 12 months so I guess it's not a huge loss. I have learned a lot about land use in SL. If I buy a piece of an estate or homestead again I'll be sure I know who the real person is behind the avatar and know what they have in place to ensure a longer future. If Skipper had had a partner, for instance, it would have helped.
