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.

As everyone knows ufo's are everywhere. TV shows are rampant with bug-eyed toothless people who swear they seen one. Based on world wide ufo reporting we are getting visited on earth about 8 million times a year... Either that or a LOT of people are LYING for the sake of LYING. "I wuz standin in uh field with bubba and milford, when all uh sudden a brite lite comes down out the sky an it kep on gittin closer an closer. We dun did try to git sum pictures but are camera was messed up so we got this fuzzy out of focus grainy 1932 film exposure usin granny hawkins camera. Y'all bleev at don't ya? I sware we ain lyin! Y'all bleev me don't ya? Sure nuff, Sho' did...."
Even worse are the liars who SWEAR on their life that they were abducted and probed in their anuses. I can just see the aliens now. "Zyphod let's poke around in this ones butthole for a while, for no good reason whatsoever. I mean, like, we just flew 30 trillion miles from our home planet to look inside buttholes, so get some good pictures and for Dylarg's sake, don't use granny hawkins camera!"

Please join us for the monthly meeting for the Opensim Worlds Fair, Sat. August 31st @ 12pm grid time. We're getting together to share the latest updates, share ideas, opportunities, and community happenings! The meeting will be held inside the dome next to the landing zone. Everyone is Welcome. We hope you can make it! :)

In sleep he sang to me, In dreams he came,
That voice which calls to me, And speaks my name.
And do I dream again?
-- Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe, Mike Batt

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space...
-- Lord Byron

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark...
-- Amy Lee

From darkness did all hunger come,
With passion did all hunger feed,
And so, all passion stems from a darkness...

bzzzzzzzzt!

I had this townhouse out at the mall and did not realize I had forgotten to put a sales box with it. Today I made that discovery and well, color me embarrassed. If anybody tried to get this beautiful townhouse and could not, you will now be able to get it free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy it and that it will enhance your region with another original build by me. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This beautiful Pillar House was specially built for a dear friend's region to accommodate a people in her RP story. I am also making it available to others in Open Sim who would like it for their own regions. It features 3 levels, the first level being open for comfy outdoor activities like picnic or just lounging, the 2nd level is nice for living and cooking space and the top floor is for sleeping and bathing. It has a wrap around porch and is constructed of granite in various colors, polished brass and beautiful dark wengwood. Constructed to last many years, theoretically, of course. It can be found in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. It is full perm and free and waiting just for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for givin' the devil his due
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
-- Donald Roeser, R Meltzer

Do you want to feel the burn?

I have a block of small cottages ready for you to buy for $0 and this cute Gothic One-room School House. It comes with the furnishings so your students can start learning right away! ;) The bell in the tower rings on touch. It is all boxed up with everything you need.
Thanks for coming! ALL are Welcome!

Barber Shop
The only scripted items are the barber pole, the waiting bench, the curtain, and the door. The barber chair is a BYOA (Bring Your Own Animations) item, but hopefully someone will find this of use.

Pickup is at the OSW Exclusive gift area, located below. If you have issues arriving there directly, you can use the OSW door to your left once arriving in the subway to access the exclusive area.

Looking for a way to expand your region or grid's reach and bring people back to your region or grid? Well here is that opportunity! Your own shop allotted 1500 prims in our Mall's Showcase Plateau! That's right, your shop and prims at no charge up to 1500 prims. You can display your work here and include a land mark back to your region/grid's shop or mall. Does it have to be a shop to give stuff away? No, it can be a shop simply to display what you have built and it can be in the form of slide shows, pictures, sculptures, or items unique to your creation. We want to let you showcase what you love so others can enjoy it as well. This is another way we can network and get to see the work of the many incredible creators here in Open Sim. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Chapter 9 - The Oracle, from my book Eos Renascent, is now on Wattpad. You can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

"The ambassador bowed her head with a look of sorrow. 'Then I am lost and do not know the way forward in this world,' she replied.

'You do not want this world,' the Oracle replied in a softer tone. 'The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Love cannot be taught or learned, for there was never a time when you didn't know it. It is all-encompassing, forming the essence of what you are. Your journey will end when you have recognized all that Love is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone.' ”
