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

Want to see your name on the next "Recent Helper" post? Just help somebody find something they are looking for. Oh so easy!

What is the “What Are You Looking For” group about? Come see: https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

People post about items they are, well, looking for, like outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. With 119 members, it is the largest, and most active group on OSW.

Here's how it works.
• Post your request in the group.
• If you like, use group chat to provide the link to the post to immediately alert people about it.
• Please do not post requests or answer them in chat. We are an alternative to making a request in the Front Page Box. Like there, group chat text will disappear, while posts, and the replies, will persist, providing on-going help to people browsing the posts.
• And please, consider being a helper, and visiting regularly to do that.

Thanks to all helping this group help people find what they are looking for. And a welcome in advance to all who decide to join us.

Here is a round up of chat requests from the last 20 days.

Request: Hello, I will need 3D numbers figures to make signs please.
Helper: FallenAngel Absent “I have a bunch. contact me in OsGrid please :-)”

Request: I am looking for [newer and better] swimming animations.
Helper: Esti Mation “have you been to LF grid? they seemed to have”

Request: Is there any place where I can find body deformers? Deformers specifically target body parts, like shoulders, butt or breasts.
Helper: No-one yet.

Request: anyone have animesh doctor, and a few other female bussiness dressed like animesh avatars?
Helper: No-one yet.

Request: anyone have a mesh lifeguard swinsuit?
Helper: No-one yet.

Please help with these requests if you can. Note that posts and replies for the past 10 months are still available in the group. Chat requests are available for only the past 20 days, don’t seem to get many helpful replies, and will disappear in time.

Verdict: Once more, post requests in group, and use chat to provide the link to help drive traffic to your post, where it will last forever and be available to archeologists from the 25th Century to study to help benefit all of human-kind! Be noble! Use the group for requests.

The Verdict About Group Chat In The What Are You Looking For Group
All: Please post your requests in the group, not in chat. Then, if you like, notify people via chat that there is a new post, and include the URL for it. That should drive more traffic to the post requests, which seems to have been lacking

Helpers: Please reply to the post in the group, freeing the chat from information that, like the front page box, will disappear in a short time.

This will preserve the purpose and usefulness of the group while helping people know that there are new post to check out.

Background: Some people say that making a request for help via chat gets a faster response. That's the result of people not visiting the group often enough to see if there are any new posts. A post and a chat notice of same will get more attention for the posts and help keep the group alive and lively, and also alive. (Did I mention alive? I guess I did).

I'd like help with either making stuff or finding stuff for a Horrible Halloween event. For example:

1. A DJ that streams bad music
• Any suggestions of what music that would be?

2. A location like a ball room of a run-down hotel.

3. Decor
• Moldy fast food.
• Cheap Beer (label textures that would work on existing cans?)
• Cans of Spray Cheese: extra credit bonus points if it actually can “spray” cheese
• Ripped drapery,
• Carpet stain textures
• Decorations that don’t go together at all.
• Trash bag balloons
• Toilet paper streamers
• Cardboard cutouts of tacky celebs like the cast of Jersey Shore or the Kardashians.
• A swimming pool swamp.
• Dance ball filled with ballet, belly dance, and drunken dance animations.
• Poorly dressed NPCs for the dance ball
• A “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” type event called something like “Pin A Kiss On The Ass” This one is complicated.
◦ An open collar-like blindfold that actually makes people unable to see and that will spin them.
◦ A 3-D ass that changes texture on touch to display a lipstick kiss.

4. Party Favors.
• Bling jewelry.
• Little plastic bags of toothpicks. Because, you can never have enough toothpicks.

Other ideas welcome.
