Due to unfortunate changes in the UOS sim,  the Kundalini gateway and FST tea house will be closing down for a month while I take a vacation and reconsider my options.  I apoligise for the inconvenience.  Stay tuned for updates, and I hope you all enjoy the summer in rl.  Blessings...

  PS: this refers to the secondlife virtual space, not the similarly named web pages. Thanks.

Yes I *was* going to take a vacation from secondlife but when I logged in to see if my private parcel was selling, the Baroness (my landlady) made me an offer I could not refuse.   She offered to swap my 4k parcel for an open sim at the other end of her estate and not start the increased tier ($90usd) until Sept. 6... when the smaller parcel's tier would have been due.

  Since most of you voted in favour of web chat over sl chat, my consideration of how many people an open sim would hold at the same time, went out the window. Thank you!

   So I have about the same number of prims as my 5 estates but now they are consolidated. However I have 8x more area, and I've sunk more than half of it. The Baroness used to be my neighbor at dreamworld, and she is a fellow BC Canuck too.. she went into the SL real estate biz with 8 residential sims of mostly open water and this new sim is on one corner of it. 

  Once I had it...  big and flat and boring,  I could not leave it alone!  Terraforming is fun, actually it turns me on tremendously, go figger.... it is always hot when the art is flowing.  Plus now I get access to estate tools so I can change the texture of the terrain. Found an opalescent white stone for the mountains... I test my terraforming with a jetski...

  The name of the sim is Saphire Preserve if you want to take a look at the work in progress.  If I see you on the mysti radar I'll say hi unless I am AFK or busy.

   To give you a sense of scale... that little dot beside the fire on the beach is me.

    The dreamworld parcel is for sale, anybody want it? Your new beach is much bigger...

 

Simply cute!
More than that: benumbingly beautiful!!!
(sigh)

...looks to me like the stronghold of a vast vast *Mystress Weatherwax* multimedia saga.
Priceless name considering that half of it("Weatherwax") was chosen from an sl list of names.

All right, G.d.i. 

...makes me woozy dreamy - - - enraptured, oh my heart!

  Juergen:

    SL mostly takes its names from fiction.  You have never read a Terry Pratchett novel!  They are wonderful, so funny you have to wear a diaper when you read them because you will pmsl.  Granny Weatherwax is the oldest and toughest crone witch in all of the Discworld. She is good with the mindwork and borrowing, and once defeated an entire colony of vampires because they fed on her and her blood took them over and made them start craving tea...
   So in fact it is a particulary apt nickname for this old witch, on so many levels... and immeditely funny to anyone who knows the books.

  However recently I noticed people walking around with the surname of Serpente and I only *just* managed to get an avie named Mystress Serpente... I went back the next day to get Angelique Serpente and they had closed the name.  

  Mystress Weatherwax carries an inventory load over 37k items... unusually large, and almost getting too unwieldy on resources.  When I am done building at the new site I will probably retire Mystress Weatherwax for building only because she has the best stuff for it, and make Mystress Serpente my main social avie. For now MS is a default girl next door with no friends. Parked.

   

You have never read a Terry Pratchett novel!

That's right! How did You... ; i was much too "serious" at the time or somehow not inclined.

'Weatherwax' for the Crone feels perfect, also the power for subdueing a whole Army of vampires suites very well for the *old* hex figure, or Crone. 'Crone' seems to be a very abusive word in  English (dead flesh), so i would correspond her to The Shadow or mirror(People seem to instantaneously  project their (relative)ugliness as viewed in the mirror back onto that mirror: Snow White's stepmom the evil queen). The Mirror/Boundary being also one 3rd of the *Mystress*
Btw, do vampires like mirrors -- don't think so.
I guess i get slowly a grip of what You always or sometimes  mean by 'reflection or reflecting'
Next to The Crone comes The Mother: either Mystress Serpente or 'Angelique Serpente', the latter being already somewhat Your rl name, so i'm finding it perfect that 'Mystress Serpente' remained You for sl!

The Mother is obviously the Goddess aspect in You, then  for the Maiden remains The Human.
(Christianity then made The Mother to "The Father" and The Maiden to "The Son";  hehe The Crone would then be "The Holy Spirit", or Sophia, Wisdom..and isn't it wise to make the overtaken vampires crave tea?).

Still You have no Maiden name in sl, or do You? 

Probably i'm still too serious about all the fun,

I understand that by Your method(sl-method), You don't re-invent  the wheel? -- Oh dear, lots of wheels!!
Holy madness!
