Winter is here, Yay! Well, yay for some :).
I have a new release today, fairly whimsical; Polar Bear Ceiling Lights. They were made as ceiling lights and they are resizable. I did a large version separately as the automatic light script had to be adjusted for the life size bears.
There are automatic and manual light scripts in the regular size lights, you can delete the auto script in the large ones and put in the manual if you like.
I have a couple of more ideas for the bears that will be out soon.
Have a beary nice day!

I haven't had access to my computer since June 20th. I was hospitalized for a week and since I was discharged I have been crashing at besties.

That means no access to my hanheld discord, handheld yahoo mail or that fb. I have had my virtualverse app on my phone, at least. I just now realized that this account is tied to my Harper Gmail and did a reset.

So, I'm not sure when I'll be home again. One week? Two?

I doubt anyone's noticed (I’ve been scarce as it is) but if anyone asks, I haven’t kicked the bucket yet (though w/ 3 ER visits in June alone it’s been a near thing!)

Thank you for your attention in this matter

April 30th. So much to celebrate today.

My fifth rezday. Juno's fourth rezday.

World Jazz day, much to Juno's delight (unfortunately, I guess nobody played jazz in OpenSim tonight).

And, much to Juno's delight again, the day before yesterday was officially the 100th anniversary of art déco.

So not only did Juno put on one of her Kaydi Rose art déco gowns again, but she took me to what has to be the most art déco place all over the Hypergrid for this photo shooting.

**Modest Lounge Armchair OUT NOW!**
This one's for @Jordan :) Similar style and poses as the Modest Sofa (need to update that one!):

Cruiser Queen Mary II in front of Reykjavík harbour. I have rezized it to match an average avatar size so it has 512 meters length! (pretty much a side of a 2x2 VAR region!). Cruiser goes around the region automatically.

**A Tribute to Verna Avril: DJ, Creator, and Friend**
Today, we pause to honor and celebrate the extraordinary Verna Avril, a beloved DJ at Event Plaza, an accomplished builder, and a cherished friend to so many. Verna has recently been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and while the news has left us heartbroken, her unwavering spirit continues to shine brightly in the time she has left.

For those who have had the privilege of knowing Verna, you know her as a force of nature. Her music has been the heartbeat of Event Plaza, where she transforms gatherings into magical experiences, spinning tracks that bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime. As a DJ, Verna doesn’t just play music—she shares her soul through every beat and rhythm.

Beyond her music, Verna is a visionary builder and creator. She owns and curates numerous regions, each a testament to her incredible talent and love for creating beautiful spaces. Her worlds are filled with life, imagination, and wonder—a reflection of her boundless creativity and dedication.

Verna’s style and charisma are as unforgettable as her music. Always impeccably dressed in her signature short black dresses, she carries herself with grace and confidence that inspire those around her. But it’s her warmth, kindness, and generosity that truly make her unforgettable.

In this challenging time, Verna has shown us the depth of her strength. Even as she faces this diagnosis, she continues to remind us of the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and creating beauty wherever we can.

As her community, let us rally around her with our love and support. Share your stories, your memories, and your gratitude for the joy she’s brought into your life. Let’s celebrate Verna Avril—not just for what she’s accomplished, but for who she is: a beacon of light, creativity, and love.

We don’t know how much time we have left with her, but we do know this—every moment with Verna is a gift. Let’s cherish these moments together and honor her legacy, now and always.

Stay strong, Verna. You are loved more than words can express. 💖

Aussie and I will be hosting an event to celebrate our friend Verna Avril. In the meantime, please post messages for her here as she cannot be in Opensim but can read this website. Thank you in advance for posting for her! I will make all the messages and stories into an online book for Verna.

Dear Music Man (Aussie) / MillyAnn,

We were so saddened to hear about the passing of your son. He will be deeply missed. Please know that we are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.

MG / Sandra and all of OS ... We Love you ❤

Someone asked to see a PBR mirror in Opensim so here's mine. Use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.10.75913 and make sure mirrors are enabled in your graphics settings. You can find the instructions to make your own here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o

Check out hundreds of new and amazing avatars available from my friend PrinceOfAmor. He has created a site listing the avatars with auto delivery capability. Like him, the site is pretty much amazing!

hello and have a nice day. For all cat lovers, I have made a small collection available for you in my store today. A small bunch of cats are waiting here for a new, loving home and owner. They are all Potty trained and sweet. Come and get your new cuddly tiger.

A new amazing shower with state of the art animations (yes, fewer than what we are used to in other furnitures, but...so good!).
Comes fully integrated with Sally Jackson's Cum System, with its own submenu! So you can get messy, and get cleaned, and messy, and cleaned all over again!

This week a resident commented to me:

"I cannot believe people here actually talk to eachother...these are real people!
This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"


friends-grid......we are a collection of real people and cultures.

*friends-grid does use animesh for atmosphere, but does not and will not use bots to alter traffic counts. I applaud the grids and regions who refuse to use fake traffic!

I have often considered my underwater worlds
to be my best build ever. It took 6 months to find things, build
destroy, build, adjust and redo. Much of the time was spent searching.

This week I realized.....the best thing I can do for Opensim
is help all of you build underwater worlds if you wish.


Textures Trees & Scripts


now offers a massive Underwater section!

Hundreds of fish, coral, 5 types of rays, sharks, octopus, anemones, kelp and much more!

Enjoy making your dreams come alive!

I repaired MAHJONG by Xylor Baysklef. The amazing Xylor made this years ago, and it was broken and stopped working. I just went through thousands of lines of code and fixed all 13 broken scripts. Now it will work in dreamgrid or anywhere. :) I'm leaving it at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:SandBox This is a fun 1 person or multiplayer game and it is very advanced and sophisticated.

MORTIMER!!! WE'RE BACK!!!! Thanks to the people of the metaverse. So many of you came to me offering free land, free help, and really demonstrated your friendship. You brought back my latest creations to me to refill my store at Wizardry. I am very greatful and love you all. I could not ask for better friends. Special thanks to Milly Money, Fresh Virtual World, Jay R Cela, Kater_V_Kater, Marianna, PagaSuccubus, Safine Mahoe, HugABug, Mistress Dalgato, Lone Wolf, Nexus Storm, Fearghus McMahon, KatKakoola, Fred BeckHuesen & Druskus. You are wonderful and awesome people, and I am forever grateful to all of you.

Millions of stars lit up Caribou when I took Monkey on my shoulder for a little break from my landscaping. I sent a loving thought to my friend Veri McMaster who taught me so much. She is now with the angels, and I miss her badly.

Veri knew that our experiences in OS can have a healing effect on our brains. She went out to prove this by taking many people to adult environments and experiences. We talked much about her project, and she inspired me to read more and follow up on what she was doing.

Veri was right. Environment, architecture, experiences, good relations, can all improve our neurological health. But there is also a dark side of adult life in OS which has opposite effects.

I know it myself. For almost a year I lived through a period of exclusion and harassment. My friends were lost and lies were circulated. I was excluded from all adult events and groups all over OS. If I asked something I was told that these are only my own sick fantasies. My friends were told to ignore me or they would get excluded themselves.


I was as alone as can be, night after night, week after week. And no. I was not feeling well.

My few remaining friends saved me. But I still suffer from what happened.

This is a dangerous game. I don’t think that most people understand how dangerous it is. Lonely people who maybe have other health problems may fare much worse than I did.

I now own a major region and grid, caribougrid.com. I am happily partnered and have many new friends. Some have apologized for their treatment of me which I do appreciate.

I still suffer from the old lies that were circulated. I am not allowed into most adult events and sites. This does not hurt me anymore. I go where I am welcome and wonder about the others.

I wanted to tell this to explain my approach to Caribou. We will never exclude anyone, and we will never accept any harassment on these islands. There will never be groups that exclude others. Everyone will be welcome on these adult islands where there are as few rules as we can have.

If you have similar experiences please talk with me. We don't offer professional advice but it may help to talk, and to know that there are others as well. Such as I myself.

Caribou is Adult rated and we hope that our friends come as 18+ Avatars, at any size small or large, so we can keep these islands open, advanced and safe for all. Ask me, Jeanne, if you are not sure how we see you.

Ask me also for private homes, hideaways and second homes. From villages and tropical islands to countryside and winter snow. From your own island to a village condo. Caribou Avatars have the right built in.

Avatars from other Grids please contact me and we see what and how we can arrange. We will always find solutions.

A caribougrid.com Avatar can be created at http://hg.caribougrid.com:16002 - and life here will be easy. Please note that our server checks automatically that your e-mail address is a real one.

All is free in Caribou. Read more at www.caribougrid.com.

A warm hug to you all. Jeanne
