Yuh, “chile” is Madi’s pet term. Hehe. And Uri, I do hope there will be a family tree… it’s got good pedigree, that’s for sure.

Close. I am Madiera’s grandchild (2nd-gen), and I think Matt is 1st-gen so he is a chile of Madi. Jadey is granddaughter-in-law. ^_^

My bad. Even worse, Jade Lily is the SL Sister of our Managing Editor, Matthias Zander. Or at least I thinks so.

Teflon Don, thanks for posting this. Just a correction: my partner’s name is Jade Lily, not the other way around.

Cheers.

Only side comment to that is some people take it a bit to far and end up replacing their real family with these fake ones. While its all said and good to go about this manner it has shown harm in the long run with some, and in a growing manner. Virtual Addiction is biggest cause and effect. As people live more of their ‘dream’ life, the more they lose touch with reality and become something of pity.

hahaha This sounds like a bad excuse someone would give their girlfriend or wife for cheating on them. “I’m sorry honey.. I had to for my sanity and well-being.”
