First Life is Complicated - Make Time to Relax

A Nice Sunset

Moderate vs. Adult Region Rating

I have a “Moderate” category region and for some time now I have often wondered if this has deterred potential renters from seeking a home at Rockridge Heights.  Am I limiting myself by not switching to the “Adult” category?

First, let me be upfront and say that I am not a sexual prude in my First or Second life.  I think some of you will agree that there are so many ways we can explore a variety of sexual experiences in Second Life that we may not even consider attempting in our First Life.  Sadly, it’s the sexual side that gets sensationalized by some in the mainstream press, but that is a whole other topic for another post.

Let me try and help clear up some misconceptions about what you can and cannot do on a “Moderate” rated region by offering some helpful resources:

Maturity ratings -- https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Maturity-ratings/ta-p/700119

Hiding Avatars and Restricting Avatar Sounds -- https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Hiding-avatars-and-restricting-avatar-sounds/ta-p/999779

If you rent a home at Rockridge Heights, please be assured that I have taken the proper steps to ensure that your parcel privacy is indeed activated.  It looks like I probably need to convey all of this information (possibly on a notecard at the Welcome Center) to region visitors.

This seems to be the bottom line:  “Nudity is allowed on Mature/Moderate land and you can use your sex bed inside the privacy of your own home, just no sex out in the open “public” spaces.”

Photo Opportunity

There are so many great spots for taking snapshots.  I took this one in June but sadly I don't remember where or have the SLURL to share :(  .

It's My Rez Day!

Today, May 23rd, marks my 8th Rez Day.  I had no idea I would even make it this far.  I am not even sure where I heard about Second Life in the first place, but I thought "Hey this looks interesting, let's give this a try"  I came with no set expectations and would ride the adventure and see where it takes me.  And what a ride it has been.  I have seen and experienced so much in SL over the years.  I have also seen many of my friends come and go.  It has been a roller coaster at times and I have thought most recently about leaving.  I am sure you have experienced the same.  All the connections I have made in SL have been quite "real"  Never let anyone tell you this is just a game.  I am not sure what my future SL holds, but let's continue to share the fun and enjoy it while it lasts.  I actually started this blog when I started my SL journey.  There is so much in the archives to reflect upon.  Thank you and much love to all of you.  Rocky

You may or may not know that my Second Life partner (Hansel Dieter) disappeared... again.  MIA since the end of December and I have had no other means of contact.  All I can do is hope that he is ok.  I am not sure if he will ever return.

The past few months I have been spending time with an awesome group of friends and thanks to Derek, I now have a family I can be a part of.  I already had a great relationship with my nephew Zach Ryan and now I have 3 more nephews.  Grayson, Enrique, and Daniel.  Each one unique and special in their own way.  Love you guys and thanks for being a special part of my Second Life
