Creative Much?

So one of the the cool things in the virtual worlds (my opinion) is scripts/scripting.  What are scripts?  "Scripts can control the behavior of in-world objects".  If you are are not a "scripter" you can find many free scripts and drop them in the content of an object...
Scripts look like this in your inventory and some are in a folder with the name under which it was  purchased (hope that makes sense).  It looks like this...
You can drag a script from your inventory into an object as shown in following video...

You can also create a new script in the content area (there's a button) and delete what is there and paste a script.   I am pasting a script below the following line...

So here we go. I  (Bonnie)  am a resident ( term used when you play the game ) of Second Life ( SL which is a very large virtual world ) and Opensim ( which is many smaller Virtual Worlds owned by individuals ).  I've been in Second Life  (SL)  since 2007.  Curiosity was the culprit that caused me to enter SL.  I went to concerts where there were real people singing into the virtual worlds through an avatar.  I went to Dances where there were real people DJing through an avatar.  It was fun.  I enjoy Country Music and met some of my first virtual friends ( Drearstluv & Jodi ) at a bull riding contest. It was hilarious fun with them. Excellent sense of humor.  I am also a Christian and therefore I searched for Christian Clubs and activities,  ( finding 3 groups ).   I  realized this community consisted of people from around the world...WOW!!! Next I will tell you what and where.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, I began to look for Christian groups and/or activities.   I found a Christian group that had games and Dances, a second one was a community that also had some Dances and finally I found a park.  The group "Eternal Life" was a sim¹ owned by a male named "Sonic". There were often games or Dances, while streaming Contemporary Christian music. I also met a female - "1Way" who owned a park. I was sitting at a small cafe counter in her park. This was actually the first Christian place I found. I met 1Way when someone dressed in a white robe with an upside down cross on his back walked by.  Not realizing that someone was near chat distance I commented in chat " That is one sick puppy " and to my surprise she responded in agreement lol.  That was my first Oops moment.  We became friends on that day.  Then the third location I found was the "WOW" sim, owned by Maggie.  "WOW" stands for WithOutWalls.  This was mor...

WHY?

So I am not a dancer and there are so many things I don't know how to  do. Also so many things I can't afford to do.  Right now our activities are limited due to diseases (COVID)  around the world. In the Virtual Worlds activities can be unlimited.  You can do things you can't in the real world.  Like Dancing... We can also pick up our dream car...                    Lamborghini   We can Dance in Outer Space... I have gone bowling... Even participated in bull riding Seriously, how many of you reading this have even been near a bull in real life.....not me.                                             (searching for ✋)  There are many people with disabilities that enjoy the Virtual world where no o...
