With each step deeper into the cavern, the light from my lantern flickered against the damp walls, revealing eerie formations of stone that looked like frozen screams. Shadows danced as I moved, and the air thickened with an otherworldly presence. Just as I began to settle into the rhythmic sound of my footsteps echoing, the temperature plummeted. A sudden draft swept through, carrying with it a sense of dread.

My breath came out in visible puffs as I instinctively tightened my grip on the lantern. Then, through the thickening fog, a figure emerged. It was a ghost—a wrinkled, semi-transparent apparition with hollow eyes and an anguished expression that seemed carved from the very essence of fear. Its mouth opened wide in a silent scream, and the air around it shimmered with an unnatural energy.

Before I could react, a wave of exhaustion washed over me. I felt my energy being pulled from my body, like a magnet drawing metal. It was as if the ghost was siphoning the very life force from me, its expression a mix of longing and despair.

A note to all Misfits residents

Due to your grid being allowed to roam freely in mine but my grid is not allowed the same curtesy, I have banned the entire grid from entering mine.

I have tried to contact Misfits grid and have gotten no response. Therefore the decision was best suited to protect my grid since i can't validate avatars in Misfits grid.

From what i have heard all but one grid is banned from Misfits grid

negative comments or calling me a Karen will get your comment deleted\, not trying to start a fight.

Well the cats woke me up at 6:30 am biting my toes - which is their way of saying "FEED US NOW!". So I got up and opened a can of tuna for them. Then I got a shower and got dressed and shaved and got all my gym gear and went to pick up my gym buddy in the phantom. I lifted weights and did 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill, while watching "Obliterated" on netflix on my tablet. (These treadmills have a handy tablet holder spot) Well then we left the gym and I dropped off my gym buddy and went home. I thought I had to take TJ to the dr. for a BP checkup, but I was wrong, so I slept a few hours on the couch. When I woke up I was hungry so I went to Church's chicken and bought $43.79 worth of chicken, potatoes & gravy, mac & cheese, and honey biscuits. I already had tea at home so I came back home and we ate. Then I went to the movies and saw "The Painter" which is ok, but not that great as an action film. Typical cia spy saves the day and rescues everyone. Then I came back home and played with my kali linux uConsole and the cellular modem capabilities creating a service in systemD to autorun the cellular modem at boot. Then I logged onto open sim world and insulted someone and then decided to write about it all. :)

Hiya Everyone :D

I've added two more items to my freebie Farm Store :D

Actually, they are the same thing, but one of them is completely empty so that you may add the products you would like to have in them to use for yourself :D

(JUST DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A COPY OF THE EMPTY ONE BEFORE YOU USE IT! :D ) But there will still be the empty barrel in your inventory because it's copyable1 :D BUT STILL! :D It's always good practice to make a copy of your items that you will be working on :D

OK these barrels I have made up are the same barrels, but they have some ingredients that you will use in them. I believe I put the main ingredients in them that you use most of the time.

For those of you who know how to add ingredients in them you may do so.

For those of you who do NOT know how to add your own selection of ingredients in the barrels I will be adding a notecard on how to do that at a later time. :D

1 Empty Barrel
1 Sunshine Gal Barrel
1 Cat Barrel
1 Cat Barrel

I used my own AI textures that I made in Night Cafe.

The empty barrel is all set for you to add your own textures as well :D

There are 3 parts to each barrel.

The top.
The bottom.
The body.

So, if you're texturing them with your own textures, you must add the textures to each part of the barrel separately.
No need to unlink the barrels just edit linked and add. You can also select 'face' as well.

If you want to add your own product or a specific product you go into the object of the product that you want.

All these items have most of the farming products inside of them.

SF Storage Rack, SF Dried Goods Store & SF Kitchen Storage

Click on one of those & go into edit.

Here is where all the farming items are added to.

Go into the content tab.

Then you will scroll down, and you will see boxes with names on them.

(The barrels that I have are all set up to receive product. So, you don't need to add anything more but the product itself. No scripts, no notecards, just the product itself.)

Take one or more of those products and bring it inworld.

Then, take that product and put it into your inventory.

After taking it into your inventory, you go into edit on the empty barrel and add in there what you would like.

If you have a product that you made, you can do the same thing with that.

Then all you do is go and reset the scripts, & WAH LAH! There is your own personal homemade barrel of whatever you like! :D

Take a copy of that barrel you just filled and add it to your inventory for safe keeping :D

All the adding items to & subtracting items are on a notecard inside of the inventory. That is the ONLY thing you will have to change is the notecard, NOT the script.

There is also an area on SOME of the products like the chicken coop where you can change the numbers to how much you want them in the description area, too.

I'm adding another post to here so that I can explain that to you.

I just use copy and paste to do that.

You all ENJOY & HAVE FUN FARMING! :D I know that I sure am having fun with this :D

Bad Event Idea Zero: The Best of Eating Hot Peppers, Drinking a Gallon of Whole Milk, Dunking Yourself in Ice Water, and Looking Beyond the Future of Humanity.

This is a bad idea simply because it has been done so many times before.

I've been working on this turn of the century "Store House" which is a Store and a House. Back in the 19th century and early 20th century, and in fact some places still today, are designed so that folks can run their business from the first floor of their home which was generally kept separate from the living quarters of the house. This house is designed with walnut floors, sponge plaster ceilings, acacia wood trim and lattice (semi Tudor) windows. It has three chimneys which service all three floors. There was little to no indoor plumbing back then and the type of heat we have today did not exist so they had either a fireplace or coal or wood stove on each floor to provide adequate heat. Some homes did have hand pumps for water in them but most water was carried in buckets from a well nearby and heated on the coal or wood stoves to use for cooking, cleaning, laundry and bathing. If you happen to be working on a western or midwestern town setting, this build would be perfect for you. A little piece of history always adds a authentic touch to any region. It is full perm, however, it is total mesh so removing parts is not advisable, however you may re texture it, just understand that even back then, when they found wallpaper (most folks only had wood or plaster) they used the same wallpaper in every room, so if you re texture the entire inside of the build will be that texture. The walls are two faced in that you can put one texture on the outside of the building and a different one on the inside and all of the baseboards are a different texture. You may copy it and or transfer it or share it to others. Just have fun with it...Blessings and much love, Lavia

=OUT NOW: Llewellyn Set=
This 6-piece set comes with :
- 2 tables (side and coffee) with different textures
- An scripted clock with several texture options
- Light-scripted lamp
- Silver Tea set with a tea cup dispenser (dispensed tea is scripted with steam on-click)

Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques%20NE/379/...

I added a cluster of farming stores. It was getting a bit crowded and starting to look unkempt, so I went and put those stores behind the landing point on the other side of the fence.

All you have to do is click on the fence and it will open automatically for you and let you through! :D

HAVE FUN & ENJOY! :D

Something I've been working with for a while now was how to make a decent tree trunk and branches and finally, at last, I got one that doesn't look too bad. It's a North American Pignut Hickory, or what we always called a Hognut tree. They're beautiful and provide lots of shade especially when you're on a walk through the woods in the summer and they smell so good in the fall, and the hickory wood burning on a campfire or in a fireplace smells so good! Anyway, it's at the mall in the garden center waiting just for you to beautify your region. Pop in and take a look around and go a little "nuts"...pun intended. The tree is fully mesh and just 1 prim and it's full perm and free. Blessings and much love, Lavia

6 pm grid time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Paradise Lost


Break out your tie dye, crochet halter tops, faded bell bottoms, and prepare for a night of psychedelic fantasy! If you ever wished you could go to Woodstock, but missed the window, here's your chance! In this magical desert region, dig the groovy vibes; check in & drop out; make love, not war. Most of all, leave it on the Playa!

DJ Xenon Darrow will guide you on this epic journey of music through the sounds of Woodstock and the epic rock of the late 60s and early 70s.

The Playa would be the beautiful fantasy love child of Woodstock, Burning Man and Tomorrowland with some Electric Forest Festival thrown in! Expansive, larger than life, psychedelic!
