[10:03 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.

[10:03 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth) smiles happily
[10:03 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.

[10:15 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): of course it will

[10:15 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi) swims down and checks
[10:15 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I thought I’d have to go to mesh tail at same time?
[10:15 AM] Marion Sopwith (marion698): i don’t think so Grace
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: I don’t know a lot about mesh but I can’t see it not working
[10:16 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I just don’t know – thought I’d throw the queestion out
[10:16 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi) paws and nibbles at gramma’s tail
[10:16 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth) giggles
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: lol
[10:16 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): my priority is keeping this tail – don’t want to invest in mesh if this won’t work with it
[10:16 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): it’s a flexi I think
[10:16 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): but I don’t see any tail not working with mesh
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: but thats a great example of the Q&A
[10:16 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): is it resizable?
[10:16 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I sunno
[10:17 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): Isunno
[10:17 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): dunno
[10:17 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): gramma can’t type
[10:17 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi) puts on her scanner
[10:17 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth) eeps.
[10:17 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: mesh or the tail? but I have never been able to resize fitted mesh
[10:17 AM] Zantyago Mannonen: are there mertails that are vailable as devkits?
[10:17 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): well its worth exploring maybe the investment
[10:17 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: not on me any anyway
[10:17 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): the tail
[10:17 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): if the tail is resizable, then there’s no way it won’t fit on mesh
[10:18 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): ok
[10:18 AM] F??? ?? (sapphira.franizzi): or rather, it will definitely fit
[10:18 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I’ll think ion it
[10:18 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay
[10:18 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): prettier face with mesh body

[10:35 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): for instance, this big chat pavilion is available for classes, discussion groups, weddings
[10:35 AM] Gabrielle de Lys (malagabi) is Offline
[10:35 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): its huge and so rarely filled and yet we know the merfolk are in second life
[10:36 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): SWF strieves to do promotional type tyings by advertising and being present at public events when we can
[10:36 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): not to promote SWF – but to promote an undersea community – don’t you see?
[10:36 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): Nobody is paid – it is about us pulling together to share what we have
[10:37 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): we do desire more community involvement
[10:37 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): not because were lazy
[10:37 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): (tho gosh I sure can be)
[10:37 AM] Ohora Sessa (cathy.jackson): Sorry I had some technical difficulties
[10:37 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): but because we want to revitalize the community – so many of those leggers are still unaware of our existance
[10:37 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): and yet people fear getting over their head – over committing in time or resources
[10:38 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): myself, I’ve really tried to instill the values of balance, RL first, at your own pace ….. etc
[10:38 AM] Ohora Sessa (cathy.jackson): I don’t think we have toured there before
[10:38 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): sounds like it might be a good place Ohora
[10:39 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): so anyway – I have an idea of little ways you can contribute and truly make our community vital — the mer mer sims come and go – you can support them just by being there for instance
[10:39 AM] Ohora Sessa (cathy.jackson): I think you are right as usual lol
[10:39 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I hate going to great builds that are empty don’t you?
[10:39 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I’m calling for people to consider how we can pull together and do our little bitty part for good – not for division or overwork
[10:40 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): but to celebrate our ocean!!
[10:40 AM] Ohora Sessa (cathy.jackson): Yes it is kind of tragic
[10:40 AM] Grandma (graceswf.wrigglesworth): I have a nc with some ideas if anyone wants – please IM me

[10:54 AM] Zantyago Mannonen: but I think a wheelchair might get the point more across. for example when I wear my centaur avatar (centaur body furry head) i catch bit of afttention, I chat them up and maybe direct them to the avatar of whatever centaur clothing I eam wearing (this last biit is an example)

- to increase awareness in the general public that there is an underwater option
- to make mer resources (events, projects, groups, retailers, sims, designers) visible and easily accessible
- to assist, as possible, with the viability of mer resources so they may continue to be available to the community
- to promote the conservation of rl oceans, lakes and waterways and the nature that relies on them
Now go mingle and explore! Thanks for joining us this day!!
