I updated the Caribou region description on Opensimworlds today.

I tell about my love to my region and grid and why it is important for me. Please comment if you have opinions about what I wrote:

I am Jeanne. I own Caribou. I share Caribougrid.com and Caribou with my long-time close friend Angelic Ronin. She is absent. My former partner and good friend Andron Rae still comes in to help me.

Caribou is my life. For over 15 years I have been working on it almost every day.

When I worked around the world I spent lonely hotel nights here.

In the long years that I fought my two cancers I was here every evening after my radiation. When medication made me sick i came to my islands.

I am still not on the clear. I need Caribou as much as ever.

My dear friend Veritas McMaster made me understand how important our experiences in the metaverse can be. I miss Veri so deeply. You will find many sites in Caribou that celebrate her and her work for all of us.

When we come somewhere in these grids, we look around. Is it nice? Is it beautiful? Is the building or the lake or the environment interesting? Do I want to see more?

Caribou is not different. I try to give attention to details. Do you still want to explore is my question?

Still, you look at us from the outside. It all changes when you enter the scene.

Your thoughts, opinions, memories, dreams - they are with you. Your sadnesses and your joys, your fears and hopes?

I am not the only creator anymore. You create the scene and experience equally much.

Veri told me how virtual worlds affect our brains. She lead me to the link between experiences and neurological health.

Veri came from Second Life. SL friends recommended to seek me up in Caribou.

Caribou was then where she received the AVs that she was helping. They went on to different adult grids for private housing.

Until Veri tragically passed away we worked together on her project.

Veri knew that experiences in adult grids can very different. They can heal but also create suffering.

Neuroscience tells how our brains work. Scientific advances show us how our feelings affect our brain.

I was socially excluded and bullied in the OS world myself. I wrote in opensimworld.com how it hurt my real health.

Angelic and other friends helped me back. A difficult time followed. I am still not completely healed.

I know now how effective and dangerous social exclusion and harassment can be. I am a strong person. Still it hurts me sometimes.

But I was privileged because I could read and learn about this.

Others are maybe not. Some are alone, some not well, or young lonely adults seeking their place in our worlds. For them exclusion and bullying is a real danger. And it is inhuman. Makes me upset, yes.

We don't always realise this in our virtual worlds.

Ihave dedicated Caribou to the road that Veri showed me. I am still far from done. I want everyone to feel equally welcome. To be what they want to be. Where nobody is left out. Where there is no bullying. And where a beautiful and inviting environment inspires to everyone. This work is on its way.

I don't prescribe anything. My intention is just to tell what I do in Caribou. All others do things their own way. This is ours.

I want to show that there can be a way back.

Caribou cannot offer professional help. Maybe we can suggest where to seek it. But we can be here for everyone.

Caribou is my life and my love. Like a Tiger Mama I hold on to my world.

Hugs, Jeanne Lefavre
I was taught to treat people with respect. I prefer to think of it as treating people with dignity. To do that, I need to act with dignity. Acting out of anger only hardens the heart and diminishes oneself in everyones eyes. There is a better way of dealing with frustration. It begins with compassion for oneself, and then for others. This season, and in every season, my wish is this.

May I be happy. May I be well. May I live in peace. May I be free.

May all beings near me be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace.
May they be free.

May all beings far from me be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all beings on this planet be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my family be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my friends be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my enemies be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all beings everywhere, whether near or far, whether known to me or unknown, be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.
That what happens when you do stuffs late in the evening and tired. Forgive me, dear FLORA customers. I had recently announced the ORANGE TREE on mesh but vendor had instead watermelons lol ). No.. its not genetic manipulation or any conspiracy.. was just.. tired lolol.. (thx
Fearghus McMahon @Fearghus for the feedback).. Vendor now is correctly set at FARM AREA.. Enjoy :)
The early morning sun paints the sky with warm, golden hues as it rises on the horizon. The gentle caress of the wind fills the sail of the boat, propelling it effortlessly over the calm and glistening water. It's a perfect start to the day, with the promise of adventure and tranquility ahead.

As you gaze out over the water, you're treated to a mesmerizing sight. Majestic whales breach the surface, their massive bodies breaking through the shimmering waves, and they emit powerful spouts of water as they exhale. Their playful antics in the water create a sense of wonder and awe, as if they are celebrating the new day's beginning.

Amongst the whales, elegant manta rays gracefully glide through the water, their wings undulating like ethereal dancers. They add a touch of grace and beauty to the scene, as if nature itself is putting on a spectacular show just for you.

It's a moment of pure serenity and connection with the natural world.

Google Bard Hallucinates About Xinashi

Prompt: Write a post for the web site OpenSimWorld about the Xinashi region on Friends Grid, highlighting the outfit shop "oh HELLO"

Xinashi: A Region of Beauty and Fashion
The Xinashi region on Friends Grid is a stunning and vibrant region with a lot to offer visitors. From its beautiful scenery to its unique shops [there is only one shop] and attractions [yes, there are many], there is something for everyone in Xinashi. [No. There is nothing for my mother at Xinashi. Or my dog].

One of the highlights of Xinashi is the outfit shop "oh HELLO". This shop is owned and operated by the talented designer and fashionista, oh HELLO! [Ha. Ha ha ha. No. The shop is owned by me, and my name is not oh HELLO, or even Nicoh HELLO].

Oh HELLO! is known for her unique and eye-catching designs, which are sure to turn heads wherever you go. [Heads are turning in search of this imaginary person "oh HELLO."]

At oh HELLO!, you can find a wide variety of outfits for any occasion. Whether you're looking for something special for a night out or a new outfit for work, oh HELLO! has something to suit your needs. [I suppose].

The shop also offers a wide range of accessories, including shoes, jewelry, and hats. [One hat. One. Only one outfit includes a hat. But yes, each outfit includes jewelry and shoes. Also hair! But, mostly, not hats]. This makes it easy to complete your look and put together the perfect outfit from head to toe. [Fatpacks. It doesn't mention fatpacks!]

If you're looking for a truly unique shopping experience, be sure to check out oh HELLO! in Xinashi. Oh HELLO! is passionate about fashion and helping her customers look their best. [She would be if she existed]. She is always happy to offer advice and help you find the perfect outfit for your individual style. [OK, I'm going to search now for this wonderful woman oh HELLO. I could use her help at the shop].

In addition to oh HELLO!, Xinashi also has a number of other shops [no it doesn't] and attractions [yes it does] that are worth checking out [they are]. Be sure to visit the Xinashi Temple, a beautiful and serene place to relax and reflect. [We do have a Yoga Center. I guess I will have to rename it now. Damn you Google Bard. Damn you].

You can also find a variety of restaurants and cafes in Xinashi [no you can't], so you can grab a bite to eat or drink while you're exploring the region. [If you require food or drink to survive in Xinashi, you are going to die].

So if you're looking for a region that has something for everyone [except my mom], be sure to visit Xinashi on Friends Grid. With its stunning scenery, unique shops, and friendly people, Xinashi is sure to leave you with lasting memories.

[AI ain't ready for Xinashi baby. Ain't ready.]

We should be full speed by morning!

Hello friends
I decided to make a change sooner than I had planned. I want to improve user experience….. so friends-grid now has dual servers.

I am also putting together a schedule of when I will be restarting every region on a weekly basis and I will post it here.

There will be some region shutdowns this evening for maintenance . I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am making things a little better and safer for all.

NEW Outfit
For all Bodies
Happy Shopping:))

The rainforest is a lush, green paradise filled with an incredible diversity of flora and fauna. As you ride your horse through the dense foliage, you'll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. You might spot colorful birds flying overhead, hear the calls of howler monkeys, and catch glimpses of exotic plants and flowers.

As you venture deeper into the rainforest, you might encounter light showers or drizzles. This is common in tropical rainforests, and the rain adds to the magical ambiance of the environment. The canopy of trees will provide some shelter from the rain, but you may also appreciate the refreshing sensation of riding through the gentle rainfall.

After a thrilling ride, you'll eventually reach the cool waterfall. The sound of rushing water will grow louder as you approach, and the anticipation will build. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking sight: a majestic waterfall cascading down from above into a sparkling pool below. The area around the waterfall might be lush and green, creating a peaceful oasis. It is a perfect day!

Sail with Friends
Sunday at 12 noon

I don't know port from starboard....I get real confused on the sailing talk, and the headwinds have made me say some really bad words at times. You see.....I am not a sailor.....but I have learned to love sailing
...........and I do know how to have fun!

We have a group of friends who sail every Sunday at noon.. Last Sunday we had 5 sailboats and we were escorted by two airboats!

We try to be courteous.to our fellow boaters.....but occasionally there might be a bump or scratch ...(some days we all need brakes on boats) ; ) If you bump boats, we dont get all mad......but, you just owe two bottles of rum and a bikini top ; )

This is not quite as structured as the Palm Beach Yacht Club, but I think we have a lot more fun! We take things a little less serious than some Yacht Clubs. In our group we have some expert sailors and some novices and some speedboat drivers......but that makes it perfect!

If you want to meet people, but don't sail, come on out and join us! You can ride with us or drive a speedboat. We don't have attitudes, but we do have fun!

Here's the important info

Waypoints - any place with rum to steal
final destination - who knows
SF Sail - ok (preferred)
winds - I use e 25, but don't care what you use.
trim - manual or auto
Bwind - ok
Speedboat - ok
Airboat - ok
Jetski - ok
bikini on - ok
bikini off - ok
Smiles are required!

* boats are available or you may rezz your own
