How Much Do You Spend In and/or On OS?
It's oft said that, in OS, everything should be free, or words to that effect. But be honest. How "free" is this free. What costs, directly or indirectly, do you incur in or on OS? For example:

Hosting a grid.
Region rental.
Stream rental.
Kitely purchases.
Gold coins.

OS is more free, in many ways, than SL. But it is not necessarily totally free. What do you figure you spend in and on OS?

Wales is the smallest nation in mainland UK, but it is home, it’s said, to some of the largest, and best-known festivals in the world. The annual Welsh Fish Dancing Festival is not one of them. I was asked to post about it, by some prankster it seems.

Did they mean the Folk (not Fish) Dancing Festival, because there is one. I can post about the World Bog Snorkelling Championships or the National Welsh Rarebit Day, because these events actually happen. There is the The Cardigan River and Food Festival in Wales, which features seafood, but not fish dancing. After an extensive search, I find no mention of a Welsh Fish Dancing Festival on the web.

I did discover a site about the Wels fish (pictured above). I think there is a very good reason there is no annual Wels fish dancing festival. I did find a fish dancing video, but I can’t tell if the dancer is Welsh, Have a look and tell me what you think.

Today I decided to address a need for something I am often asked to help find, and that is Tattoo's, so I have now opened the Exotic Tattoo Shop, and our initial selection includes 14 different pieces of various designs, so come check us out and find your new ink, and if you don't see something you like, fear not, I'll be adding more a few times a week! Enjoy!

Hi :-) Germangrid wird Heute oder Morgen wieder online sein. Das Grid war 2 Monate offline wegen einem Server Hardware Problem. Da es ein Richtiger Server ist Dell Poweredge R 710 ist es nicht günstig wenn er ein Problem hat aber ist alles soweit wieder gemacht jetzt muss nur noch das grid wieder fertig sein.

So you all don't get bored with the same picture. Address is maze.bz:7002 A-maze-ing Eggstravaganza Grand Opening The egg hunt is going to be wicked....eggs that move every 2 seconds 50 of them each with a special different FREE gift in them.
