    Yakuzza Lethecus: hey maude
    DR42 Resident: Hello
    Yakuzza Lethecus: good afternoon
    DR42 Resident: I was wondering if anyone would show up.
    Yakuzza Lethecus: when i rezzed at the meeting hall my first thought was the same
    Yakuzza Lethecus: wol is travelling so we will be at least -1
    DR42 Resident: I was here, but popped out to sklap a mini mania board.
    DR42 Resident: slap*
    Yakuzza Lethecus: what´s a mini mania board ?
    DR42 Resident: If some number of people touch it, then one gets a prize. There is also a "Midnight Mania" where if enough people touch it before midnight, everyone gets the proze. There is a place that has nice textures, and they have such a board. So, I get 5 or 6 free textures a day for free.
    Yakuzza Lethecus: that´s great if you like building in sl a little
    DR42 Resident: pLUS, THEY HAVE A WEEKLY SAMPLE BOX WITH 15-20 TEXTURES.
    DR42 Resident: I have started to experiment with non-mesh skirts. and other clothing. There are some things you can do with them that you cannot do with mesh.
    Yakuzza Lethecus: reminds me of what i have had been to in sl with a friend from spain, they had a treasure with lindens that blew when enough ppl came and there were some freebies in the group
    DR42 Resident: Xploders.
    Yakuzza Lethecus: right
    DR42 Resident: There used to be lots of them, enough that I could make 4-500 linden a day.

    DR42 Resident: Well, thanks for the thought. Meds for it have been getting better and better. But, they wear off, so they don't want to start you on them too early. Only once the symptoms become unmanageable.

    Zen Arado: yeh that too Maude :)
    Zen Arado: hope I am not playing it

    Zen Arado: amazing they kept that since 1991

    Zen Arado: in the earlt days of MTV they only played music videos apparently
    DR42 Resident: Well, that was what MTV started as.
    Zen Arado: and American artists hadn't made many
