Tipi Tacos Truck Freebie. I know, more food...lol. Tipi Tacos are an Indigenous fusion cuisine and very popular. Sometimes called "Indian Tacos", Navajo Tacos or Bannock Tacos. Open tacos made on bannock with all the fixings and very delicious. The Tipi Tacos truck is over by the gas station and free to copy/buy for 0 for anyone who wishes for one for their region. In the contents of the object are some separates. this build uses the old Airstream camper trailer from Arcadia Asylum as well as a cool generic soda fountain I found on sketchfab and some veggies:

When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V3 - Updated Release! ****

What's New:
• Fixed last UUID sound issue (to improve performance in OpenSim).
• Piano dialog now visible to everyone (not just the owner).
• New "ALL" notecard to play all 40 tracks in sequence (*).
• Improved sound quality with louder and stereo output.


(*) It takes on average 02 minutes to load them all and there is a 10 seconds pause between a music to another.

Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script and I could share to Opensim citizens,

Enjoy :)

Funsize Dinkies Roadtrip is back after a Christmas Break... Today the Dinkies headed off to Pepperland I & II.
(Can be found at https://opensimworld.com/hop/79336 )

A fantastic Region with lots to see and alot of hard work has gone into the Story being told on there to follow. Pepperland is the creation by Mudpuddle Cleanslate and Chelsea Louloudi, of many scenes from Yellow Submarine... a 1968 British animated musical fantasy comedy film inspired by the music of the Beatles.

The Funsize Dinkies loved the every moment on this Region.

Hello everyone, friends!
We would like to inform you that our Mall will be temporarily closed to the public for expansion work. We are making these improvements primarily for you, who have shown us great affection through your messages of support and encouragement.
We apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we will reopen as soon as possible.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

The staff at New Life Italy....

@JamieAnna Wright reminded me this morning of my art exhibit I created when she placed her Dali clock out at the Dingleberry Dump! OH Yes!! I remember I created an exhibit titled Persistence of Memory by Dali. I rezzed it at SkyRealm and can be viewed here:

UPDATE: OSW did something to my link. Use the link below to copy/paste into the browser to see the page.

Hey graphic artists out there ...what is this effect called?

sites.google.com/affordable-green.us/msdesigner/home

Designer used to provide it, but they took it out.. I am looking for a a free or nearly free replacement, where I can drop images in and it does this.

On December the 16th, Lise entered our grid and was welcomed by our admins and Greeter, who during that time, she decided to go shopping and to go visit other regions, but the region she went to was organization center for new members coming into the grid. She landed there, and one of the admins went up and explained to her that that region was for only new members of Gentle Grid. The admin politely asked if she would please leave, and on that note, she got very rude, and Adim politely asked her to leave. We have her statements and a picture of her. What she had said to my admin is that on all grids, admins and greeters are allowed to vanquish or ask you to leave.

Lisa did not tell anyone that she was trying to copy the things that were in the home. And yes, I'm blocked from seeing her page. And personally, I think this writing is very silly and immature. I have no reason to believe that she has cause to do any of this, but just to move on, it's simple. She is an aggressive untruth saboteur. Yō and use that handkerchief again. You're going to go to someone else's grid first and say how much you like the grid and then turn around 10 minutes later when they politely ask you to leave a region that you're not supposed to be in and claim that you were being abused. make up your mind. and mind you there no teleport to that region she maps it.

3 more hours, so time to pick your outfit and come to

the Friends Grid Christmas party!

When: Thursday, December 19 11.00 grid time / 20.00 Central Europe
Where: At Club Oasis
Who; Well, YOU, of course! Bring your friends, your loved ones, that awkward person who has nothing better to do..
What; Pop tunes and a ton of rock and even metal in the spirit of Christmas
Dresscode; something festive
