friends-grid is OPEN!

What is friends-grid and the Friends region?

friends—grid is a sailing community (connected regions) that was built by a group of friends in 2023 and is owned by Safine Mahoe. You don’t have to sail, but if you do, you will love it!

Friends are the only thing that is important in Open Sim, nothing else really matters. As Woodrow Wilson said , “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.”

The Friends region is the heart of friends-grid. On this region, you will find Friends Stables, multiple satyr farms, trails through the rainforest, a large Marina to assist with your boating needs and the most beautiful waterfalls you will find anywhere!

In addition to the Friends Region, you will also find teleports to : Xinashi región with Oh Hello store, Annihilation role play region, Aquamica region with some of the largest and most detailed underwater worlds, Clearwater II with the Darwin Eco Project and many other regions being developed.

A limited number of free rentals are available, however, we are looking for people who want to be involved in our community, not simply collect free houses on every grid.

If you want to be a part of this amazing community, please contact Safine Mahoe if online.

If I am offline, please message safinemahoe2 on opensimworld.com

Enjoy riding a horse through the rainforest, pausing to enjoy the beauty of the waterfalls and listening to the tranquil sound of the cascading water. The lush greenery around you is teeming with life, and you can hear the chirping of birds and buzzing of insects as you make your way through the rainforest.

The horse beneath you is well-trained and sure-footed, carefully making its way over the rocky terrain and across streams. As you ride, you take in the sights and sounds of the rainforest, feeling a sense of peace and relaxation wash over you.

As you approach a majestic waterfall, you dismount from your horse and take a moment to admire the stunning view. The cool mist from the falls hits your face, and you feel rejuvenated and invigorated.

You spend some time at the waterfall, enjoying the tranquility of the rainforest and the power of nature before mounting your horse once again and continuing on your journey.

As you ride through the rainforest, you realize that this experience is one of a kind and something that you will never forget

, taking in each moment and feeling grateful for the opportunity to experience such beauty.

Lunaria Emporium is my flagship store located on Wolf Territories Grid, where you'll find unique products created solely by me that can be purchased with Gloebits, or with other pay options through links to the Kitely Market.

The central store is large, with multiple rooms that include themes such as Christmas, Gothic, Vampire, Arcane Magic, Castles, Steampunk Airships, Medieval, Japanese/Asian, Greek and Roman, Statuary, Decor, freebies, large architecture in multiple styles, and large Venues.

Surrounding the central rotunda are large viewing parcels at ground level where you can walk through all of the structures available for purchase and fully experience each build. They can be accessed by teleport boards, bridges, flying, or taking a boat ride.

There is a freebies section inside the central store with several items free to anyone. Also available for free are the Ruth 2.0 and Roth 2.0 mesh avatars.

Important Note: Use Shared Environment and higher graphics to see the region properly. As you explore the various parcels, the sky settings will change to fit the theme.

Many of my products can also be found on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705

This set is texture changing-touch each part to change the texture. The flower pendant is on the back chain I created for Veritas McMasters. Thinking of you Veritas please find the set in the store foyer.

The CopyKat Collective.
It will be Hyper. It will be Hip. It will be Happening.

Yes friends. It's looking more and more like CopyKat will go on - but beyond the bounds of any one grid. There will likely be select legacy CopyKat regions with a shared grid-based home. (Discussions are ongoing). Elsewhere in Open Sim, there might be old and new friends with affiliated regions. We call it the CopyKat Collective. Think Beyond The Grid.

I apologize if it seems I am spamming you guys, but this creator adsky_pes at Sketchfab caused it by creating this Phenomenal Victorian Pocket watch that I have animated to open and close and it is on a chain that you hold. I have other chains around the store too if you want to wear it. There is a resize script and touch to open and close. If you add a chain make sure the watch is linked last as it is the parent prim. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vintage-pocket-watch-2e606... I promise this is my last post today!!

I added an OSG Telescope to SkyRealm Observatory. An OSG (Observing System for the Globe) Telescope is a specialized instrument used for observing celestial bodies such as stars, planets, and galaxies. It is equipped with advanced technology that enables it to capture and transmit high-quality images and data about these objects.

One of the features of the OSG Telescope is its ability to be connected to a PC viewing screen. This allows the images and data captured by the telescope to be viewed and analyzed on a computer in real-time.

The PC viewing screen is typically connected to the telescope through a data cable or wireless connection. The screen displays a live feed of the images and data captured by the telescope, which can be analyzed by astronomers and researchers for scientific purposes.

This technology has revolutionized the way astronomers and researchers study the cosmos, as it allows for detailed and real-time observation of celestial objects. It also allows for remote observation, where the telescope can be operated from a different location than the observer.

Overall, the OSG Telescope equipped with a PC viewing screen is a powerful tool for studying the universe and advancing our understanding of the cosmos. Please stop by anytime! virtual-hg.com:8002:SkyRealm

I have a nice collection of full perm building components you can use in your builds as well. The full perms are intended for use as part of a larger commercial build, and cannot be sold, given away, or placed in a freebie store as is.

You can find these in the central store rotunda on Lunaria Emporium at both Wolf Territories Grid and Kitely Grid:

Main Store: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Kitely Store: grid.kitely.com:8002:Lunaria Emporium

And many of my items are available on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705

The best for the heart: dancing, chocolate and laughter.

Here are some tips to take care of your heart:

Laugh a lot: Laughter is a natural medicine: it reduces stress and improves your mood, releases endorphins that reduce the perception of pain and improves blood circulation. It also improves blood circulation, so laugh often and hard!

Dance like no one's watching: Dancing is a great way to exercise and keep your heart healthy, so put on your dancing shoes and move to your favorite music.

Eat chocolate: Good news for chocolate lovers! Dark chocolate has antioxidant properties that can be beneficial for your heart. Of course, as always, everything in moderation.

Hug someone: A hug can increase the release of oxytocin, the "love hormone," and reduce stress, which can be good for your heart.

A little red wine can be beneficial for heart health thanks to its antioxidants and polyphenols. However, the positive effects of red wine on heart health are quite modest and should not be used as a justification for excessive drinking

Do something that makes you happy: When you do something you enjoy, your body releases endorphins, which can reduce inflammation and improve heart health. So find something that makes you happy and do it regularly.

Remember that it's important to continue to take care of your heart with healthy habits, such as exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, not smoking and managing stress.

Lo mejor para el corazón: bailar, chocolate y reir

Aquí tienes algunos consejos para cuidar tu corazón:

Ríete mucho: La risa es una medicina natural: reduce el estrés y mejora tu estado de ánimo, libera endorfinas que reducen la percepción del dolor y mejora la circulación sanguínea. También mejora la circulación sanguínea, ¡así que ríete a menudo y con ganas!

Baila como si nadie te viera: Bailar es una forma estupenda de hacer ejercicio y mantener sano el corazón, así que ponte los zapatos de baile y muévete al ritmo de tu música favorita.

Come chocolate: ¡Buenas noticias para los amantes del chocolate! El chocolate negro tiene propiedades antioxidantes que pueden ser beneficiosas para el corazón. Por supuesto, como siempre, todo con moderación.

Abraza a alguien: Un abrazo puede aumentar la liberación de oxitocina, la "hormona del amor", y reducir el estrés, lo que puede ser bueno para el corazón.

Un poco de vino tinto puede ser beneficioso para la salud del corazón gracias a sus antioxidantes y polifenoles. Sin embargo, los efectos positivos del vino tinto sobre la salud del corazón son bastante modestos y no deben utilizarse como justificación para beber en exceso.

Haga algo que le haga feliz: Cuando haces algo que te gusta, tu cuerpo libera endorfinas, que pueden reducir la inflamación y mejorar la salud del corazón. Así que encuentre algo que le haga feliz y hágalo con regularidad.

Welcome to Stark North District!

The Stark North District is more than just an extension to Stark Islands. It's a full new region with the main sim North District plus 2 nice residential sims Archipelago and Causeway and an impressive nature sim called Straits. The main sim North District holds a bunch of shops. There are also some possibilities for nice roleplays.

The North District region is connected directly to Stark Islands, means you can even walk from the Stark Islands main sim to North District by crossing the whole region. Well, if you dont have the time or you are too lazy, you can go by boat or teleporter.

But why I am writing this all? Better you make your own experience and come over to Stark North District.

Genieße die weite sonnige Landschaft, spüre den Wind der dir durch die Haare streicht.
Erkunde Soul-Follyfoot auf dem Rücken deines Pferdes,

Hier findest du Ruhe im Herzen der Natur -

Ein Dank geht an Karin Becker die uns diese Region so schön gestaltet hat.

Hello
Thinking of those of you who have marine worlds, I have left copies of a jellyfish, an octopus, a giant squid, a loggerhead turtle, a Beluga whale, a Yubarta whale and a whale shark at the base of Subnautica (and the whale skeleton can also be copied).
There are also 5 new NPS in the class that you can copy.
Enjoy them

Hola
Pensando en los que tenéis mundos marinos, he dejado copias de una medusa, un pulpo, un calamar gigante, una tortuga boba, una ballena Beluga, una ballena Yubarta y un tiburón ballena en la base de Subnautica (y el esqueleto de la ballena también se puede copiar).
También hay 5 nuevos NPS en la clase que puedes copiar.
Disfrútalos

I created a Marquee sign free to copy, inside the contents I placed other textures you can use for various Marquee Signs, and also you can add your own! The Marquee sign is in the Monentes store foyer.

Oggi scrivo perche sono veramente arrabbiata e ritengo che non sia questo il modo in cui si dovrebbe "giocare" nel metaverso .
Troppe invidie , troppe paranoie ...appena entri in una land subito che ti vengono in I.M. per dirti che non si può copiare nulla.......ma non vi sembra di essere tutti un po troppo ridicoli?
Capisco i creatori....ma quelli che gia copiano roba degli altri che vogliono???
E poi diciamocelo quasi tutto quello in open sim è stato "rubato " da second life con programmi non proprio leciti e legali!
Quindi dico rilassatevi...se uno lascia il "copia" non vedo perche non copiare....diverso è se come detto prima si usano programmi non leciti e allora è giusto protestare .
Poi a volte vi dimenticate che questa NON E' LA REALTA'!
Qui non ci si sposa davvero...non ci si fidanza davvero non si va a letto a dormire davvero......VIVETE LA VITA REALE CHE E' MEGLIO!

My jewelry designs are inspired by the thoughts and sentiments of you, my friends. Your support, encouragement, and enthusiasm fuel my creative ideas and help me to create beautiful and timeless pieces. I love hearing your stories and seeing how my designs can be a part of your virtual lives. I also create in the Real. It's incredibly fulfilling to see you wearing my jewelry and feeling proud of your choice, thank you. In the end, it's not just about the jewelry, but about the relationship I have with you and the joy that we both share when you find that perfect piece.
I have had requests to create heirlooms to be worn virtually, I cherish this, thank you.
So many people ask me, why is it that I don't create in Second Life anymore? The last time I tried uploading in SL some of my pieces cost 300L to upload. They have the testing region to check jewelry prior to upload which helped but for me, my pieces never uploaded the size I created them. They loaded huge and distorted, whereas here in Opensim all upload the exact size I create it in my RhinoGold studio. It is why I am here, easier workflow it is that simple. Firestorm has updated the Mesh Uploader so that you can now "preview" your mesh inworld in SL called "Local Mesh" which allows you to preview your mesh creations inworld and see edits you make to the mesh dae file in real-time prior to uploading which will save lindens. I will give it a try again and see if I get better results. Until then you are stuck with me, I love Opensim and the friends I have made here, thank you for your support!

One of the very first memorials I ever built was to Harriet, Spoiled Diva Riches. She was working on the grid I was on at the time building Helheim as "Hela" and having a ball. The last time we spoke was December 7th, 2019. She is greatly missed and still much loved.

Thank to Verna Avril and that suzan von otter for finding a bug that causes Local accounts to be banned even though they are not on the list, if the list contained spaces or a null line with just a carriage return line feed. Version 12 is released in their honor and contains this new function. Special thanks to princeofAmor for suggesting to ignore npc's. That cuts out 5 additional operations per iteration making the device faster if you have npc's on your land. :)

NEW VERSION 12. By popular request, it now also tells the person as well as the owner why a person was banned. Also flying is ON by default.
Presenting the OVERWATCH SENTRY. What does it do? Well, you can enter a list of grids to ban, people to ban by name, ip, or key. It also monitors each person that comes into your sim, and if they are wearing too many scripts to try and crash your sim, it bans them. If they are using too much sim memory and eating up all system resources, it bans them. If they are flying and you turn off flying in the system, it bans them. If they are too tall or too short, it bans them. So it does a lot, and it's all settable by you. I didn't do ban by age because avatar age is unreliable and can return a 0 day age. Not to mention that we all sometimes have to start over. The device is by the christmas tree at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/wizardry. It's a different kind of device from a security system. Security systems ban everyone except those you allow in. This lets everybody in - but it checks them to make sure they are not hacking or trying to hurt your sim, but it can also ban people from a list. It's really simple to use, just add the name to the appropriate list in the objects inventory, then just click to turn it on. Only the owner can turn it on or off.
