The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

T – Timelessness
Time doesn’t pass in TAKE Land. Here, everything is the present. It’s a space beyond the clock, where the ancestral and the future embrace. The castle, the temples, and the waterfalls tell stories from eras never forgotten.
“There’s no rush here. Everything is now.”

I made this memorial frame after my cat passed away. I wanted something to put in my Opensim home to remember him. You can edit the item and delete the example pictures inside, and replace them with pictures of your own pet(s). The frame will cycle through the images.

The story of the rainbow bridge, where pets and owners are reunited in the afterlife is told to children to help them cope with the loss of a beloved pet. As an adult, I still find the message that we will one day meet again comforting. I hope it can do the same for you. Big hugs to anyone who has lost a furry family member. I placed it at Moana's landing point and it is full perm so please feel free to share with anyone who may like it.

Love,
Gentle

On April 26 11 people were killed and many others injured in Vancouver after an SUV rammed into a crowded Lapu Lapu street festival in Vancouver.

This has been on my mind. Today is a day of Remebrance in BC, Canada. I made/modded a vigil candle in a holder and it's at the Birch Grove RCMP station free to copy/buy for 0.

The candle is from Sketchfab:

"Candle Low" (https://skfb.ly/6TCpr) by Batuhan13 is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

The holder is simple prims and the flame is from an old LK candle. The hold is a default SL one and the animate on attach script is available a bunch of places. I think I have it from back in SL days but on outworldz and probably OSgrid in the scripting forum etc.

Cherish those you love everyday. Cherish community and safety. Hold folks in your heart who don't get to and offer them light and love.

Been Having fun with EEP Sky's. However If you are working with older versions of Firestorm or Singularity viewers you will not see like this. Thanks to a friend who tested it for me old school ways but sadly many people dont have this capacity. The only thing is the top layer clouds I could not make them move only the lower layers.
Any ideas would be welcome still new at this lol

🌹 Thorned Heart 🌹
Love, wild and untamed.

With golden vines that twist and curl like whispered secrets in a dark forest, Thorned Heart cradles a fiery red ruby at its center—bold, defiant, and full of passion. Each leaf and curve tells a story: of fierce devotion, tangled emotions, and a heart that dares to love deeply… even when it hurts.

I was asked to record a video to show how I construct vines. This is another Thorned Heart ring in just a bit different style, a signet ring, this video shows how I construct the vines. https://youtu.be/WtPwU6FaWaU?si=KFhmiNuNQYNpS6Rg

Created this morning in the foyer on the little table, thank you for the requests 💗

Opening wednesday, 26th march! Gloebit mall of original mesh creations by Remmy Ravenhurst! There will be free gifts which also are not available anywhere in the metaverse. The idea behind this mall is to give original creators an opportunity to make a few coins here and there, hone and improve their skills, support each other, and ensure OpenSim can gain continually more traction as it's own entity, with truly unique items and people!

Some of us may have been around long enough to even recall the days of approx 2003-2008, where average players could create things in SL, hone and improve their skills, sell knick knacks, gestures, what have you...not to get rich or gouge each other, but, perhaps earn a few bucks with our work ethic. But all the big businesses, corporations, and college grads rolled in, had access to million dollar motion capture animation machines, expensive softwares and hardwares out of reach to the average user, and things like this. We happily choose to support other creators that have the "audacity" to ask a small pittance or few coins for their hard and original work.

ALL of these items are legally licensed or free use mesh. Most of it was custom textured by Remmy, and applicable furnitures have poses. Some may have various scripts, a few may have color huds. We will be posting the hop location on Wednesday, when it opens. Thanks for your support and encouragement, in advance!

Honored to participate in the Opensim Worlds Fair this year :-) I have two areas: parcel 10 - Lunaria Emporium which is a sim-sized area, and a display in the tech area talking about pbr. Hope to see you there :-)

Here's the hop: hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/OpenSim%20Worlds%20Fai...

Exciting changes are coming to Home and Gardens! Not only will we have stunning historical homes powered by Bullet physics, but an entire region showcasing some of the finest and freshest properties in the Ubode Physics realm. We've also given H&G Furniture a complete overhaul, with a wealth of brand-new items that will make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for.

All three regions will have their own dedicated beacons, so you can easily navigate to the areas that interest you most. This massive undertaking has been months in the making, and I'm thrilled to finally unveil the new and improved Home and Gardens and H&G Furniture this Tuesday, March 4th at 9am grid time.

These homes are for your personal enjoyment only - no god-modding or unauthorized redistribution allowed. I work tirelessly for the people of the Open Sim, not for any individual grid. I can't wait for you all to experience the incredible transformation we've achieved!

Because we're all about the food at Birch Grove Spring! I made/arranged (a clever person at Sketchfab named Moonlian actually made the waffles) some waffles...lol. In Norma's Diner by the Train station if anyone's wishing for some.

Brrrr lots of goings-on in opensim right now! Need a breather from the asset frenzy? Get yourself a cuppa, here are a few recent posts from the HG Safari blog *caution may contain eye candy*
