Winter is here, Yay! Well, yay for some :).
I have a new release today, fairly whimsical; Polar Bear Ceiling Lights. They were made as ceiling lights and they are resizable. I did a large version separately as the automatic light script had to be adjusted for the life size bears.
There are automatic and manual light scripts in the regular size lights, you can delete the auto script in the large ones and put in the manual if you like.
I have a couple of more ideas for the bears that will be out soon.
Have a beary nice day!

Still about the OpenSIM ONLINE Weather System V4 already available for FREE and FULLPERM at WEATHER SECTOR at FLORA SIM - I`ve built a compact Weather Display for my tenants in my SIM NORGE. They all liked it so much so I decided to offer it here as well.
V4 vendor updated with it.,
Enjoy :)

Plus this post about a 9/11 memorial on LFGrid .

***OUT NOW***
Okay, here are the first Cutey's goodies Cuties Decos I've finally finished, now available for you in the Animesh section of my store.
The rest will be coming in the next few days, so please be patient ;-)

Offworld has existed for a total of 18 years now. It was first called "Land of Vikings," then became "Gridworld," and finally "Offworld."
We're marking this occasion and celebrating this milestone with a small event.
On Friday, August 8, 2025, from (CET) 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Genie will be giving his best on the microphone. Starting at 9 p.m., the fantastic Phaandor Pertwee will take over the stream.

Offworld existiert nun insgesammt 18 Jahre, zuerst hiess es "Land of Vikings", dann wurde es zu "Gridworld" und schlussendlich dann "Offworld".
Wir nehmen diesen Anlass und feiern dieses Ereignis mit einer kleinen Veranstaltung.
Am Freitag den 08.08.25 von 19 - 21 Uhr gibt Genie sein Bestes am Mikrofon. Ab 21 Uhr übernimmt dann der phantastische Phaandor Pertwee den Stream.

I also found another project that I would like to share with you. The Dope Train Station Bar

*** YYT-Market...So far, I've sorted out almost all of the YYT boxes and set them up in the YYT market. If I find any more items, I'll of course make them available too.***

Not So Naughty store is back!
A store specialized in quality adult content.

For now it only contains old items made on Sacrarium grid, hence the store setup which looks quite empty. Follow the Old stuff signs to find them.
But I wish I have time to build new stuff, so stay tuned by joining the group.

Don't hesitate to click on the hostess to get a quick history of this store.

Fantastic news, everyone! Adani and I have been absolutely buzzing, working hard to completely repair those tricky color HUD problems that popped up on the Xengine grids in the Legacy region! I've just finished replacing all the scripts, and I'm so thrilled to say we're officially reopening the area! If you happen to run into any little issues at all, please don't hesitate to give me a shout, and I'll be right there to fix it up for you as quickly as I possibly can. Oh, and to all the guys out there – I know I don't have a huge amount of men's wear ready just yet, but I've put everything I have out for you, and I'm beyond excited to announce that the men's side of the Legacy region is now OPEN!

I haven't had access to my computer since June 20th. I was hospitalized for a week and since I was discharged I have been crashing at besties.

That means no access to my hanheld discord, handheld yahoo mail or that fb. I have had my virtualverse app on my phone, at least. I just now realized that this account is tied to my Harper Gmail and did a reset.

So, I'm not sure when I'll be home again. One week? Two?

I doubt anyone's noticed (I’ve been scarce as it is) but if anyone asks, I haven’t kicked the bucket yet (though w/ 3 ER visits in June alone it’s been a near thing!)

Thank you for your attention in this matter

Picked up the lovely Celia avatar from Agartha just for the gown, which is gorgeous just with the regular textures. But I couldn't resist adding the gold pbr textures you see here. The dress is no transfer, so I can't give away a copy, but I put out a box in the lobby at Lunaria Emporium with the materials and textures I created for it. You can find it near the group joiner next to a viking outfit, both are free and full perm to use how you like.

You can find the original Celia avatar here: hop://agartha.ovh:8002/Agartha/218/57/1514
You can find Lunaria Emporium here: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Watching the falcon close up in the shop, I found too many glitches and uglies, so.....Peregrin 2.0: remapped the mesh, remastered the textures, improved rig...
You gotta love a challenge☺.
It's painstaking time-consuming, so, making the anims now for the ready birdie.....takes some more ♫ time, patience is the key.

First in the family of palm trees of the Tropical series: the gorgeous Musa Paradisiaca banana trees.

Coming in 2 colors (emerald and vibrant), with 5 shapes for each, including one young bush.

Get it at Purple Swan: hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/Humanity/31/457/40

April 30th. So much to celebrate today.

My fifth rezday. Juno's fourth rezday.

World Jazz day, much to Juno's delight (unfortunately, I guess nobody played jazz in OpenSim tonight).

And, much to Juno's delight again, the day before yesterday was officially the 100th anniversary of art déco.

So not only did Juno put on one of her Kaydi Rose art déco gowns again, but she took me to what has to be the most art déco place all over the Hypergrid for this photo shooting.

The Arctic Henge is a monument to Asatru, the beliefs of the Old Norse. It is located in Raufarhöfn (*), the northernmost settlement of mainland Iceland.
The Arctic Henge is a site consisting of many stone arches and statues arranged as a monument to the Norse pagan beliefs. Specifically, the piece was inspired by Völuspá, a poem from Edda, the ‘Bible’ of Norse Mythology. Völuspá translates to the Prophecy of the Seeress.This poem describes both how the world was created and how it is doomed to end; it also describes the first man and woman created and catalogs many mythical characters, including the dwarves. 72 of these dwarves, who are said to be symbols of the seasons of the world, are represented at the Arctic Henge, each as an individual block inscribed with a name. These blocks encircle four greater stone arches, which in turn encircle a great column of four pillars. The stone arches on site are arranged to capture the light of the Midnight Sun as it moves across the sky in summer; on June 21st, for example, it aligns perfectly with the south arch. In this way, it is somewhat of a modern Stonehenge.

The Arctic Henge is still under construction. The central column, for example, will be tipped with a prism glass that refracts the sun’s light, and the Throne of the Sun, where you can sit to admire the celestial bodies, will soon be added. Also in the works are the Hall of Rays, a place designed for spiritual renewal, and the Altar of Fire and Water, where rituals, ceremonies, and weddings will be conducted.
(*) Raufarhöfn is located on the Melrakkaslétta Peninsula, which reaches the northernmost latitudes on the Icelandic mainland; only Grímsey, an island community on the Arctic Circle, is further north. As such, it is one of the country’s furthest settlements from the capital, Reykjavík, which sits in the south-east.

Cruiser Queen Mary II in front of Reykjavík harbour. I have rezized it to match an average avatar size so it has 512 meters length! (pretty much a side of a 2x2 VAR region!). Cruiser goes around the region automatically.

Dear Music Man (Aussie) / MillyAnn,

We were so saddened to hear about the passing of your son. He will be deeply missed. Please know that we are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.

MG / Sandra and all of OS ... We Love you ❤

Someone asked to see a PBR mirror in Opensim so here's mine. Use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.10.75913 and make sure mirrors are enabled in your graphics settings. You can find the instructions to make your own here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o

Check out hundreds of new and amazing avatars available from my friend PrinceOfAmor. He has created a site listing the avatars with auto delivery capability. Like him, the site is pretty much amazing!

hello and have a nice day. For all cat lovers, I have made a small collection available for you in my store today. A small bunch of cats are waiting here for a new, loving home and owner. They are all Potty trained and sweet. Come and get your new cuddly tiger.

This week a resident commented to me:

"I cannot believe people here actually talk to eachother...these are real people!
This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"


friends-grid......we are a collection of real people and cultures.

*friends-grid does use animesh for atmosphere, but does not and will not use bots to alter traffic counts. I applaud the grids and regions who refuse to use fake traffic!

I have often considered my underwater worlds
to be my best build ever. It took 6 months to find things, build
destroy, build, adjust and redo. Much of the time was spent searching.

This week I realized.....the best thing I can do for Opensim
is help all of you build underwater worlds if you wish.


Textures Trees & Scripts


now offers a massive Underwater section!

Hundreds of fish, coral, 5 types of rays, sharks, octopus, anemones, kelp and much more!

Enjoy making your dreams come alive!
