What else will go wrong?

Now off to the gym and body balance - here's hoping the meditation track will work, but I think my mind will be spinning about other things

Awww - poor Mr. M - has your vet evaluated him for a spinal injury?

Never ask what else will go wrong! It just jinxes you - like saying "It can't get any worse!"

Keeping fingers crossed for Mr. M - and you!

Newsflash! I got home from the gym and Mr M had escaped from the backyard! He must have climbed or jumped out, but where???

I am beginning to wonder if he is putting me on a little so he gets lifted onto the table for sympathy brushing (brushing is his favourite thing)

Mr M has to go back to the vet (he went last week because of his sore back) in another month for his annual jabs and check up. I am hoping he improves a lot by then.

I learned never to believe cats when they claim they hurt... Whenever they really need a vet, they're nowhere to be found, whenever they want sympathy (for whatever reason), they'll pretend to be sick, injured or almost dead...
And when my little one pretends to be sick, even the coldest frozen heart will melt...

Little bugger. Now I can't find him and I am getting worried. I went to the neighbours house to see if he was on her chair but no.

He has a couple more hours before dark and he should be home.

I am about to start making a big beef casserole and he usually enjoys some cuts of beef during the process. maybe that will bring him home.

Did he come home yet? Update please?

Trying to decide whether to play Sims 3 for a while or go to bed and read for a long time.

I gave up on Sims 3 a long time ago. It did not pull me in like Sims 2 did, which I absolutely loved. I think I still have every bit of CC I ever owned.

Rumpelteazer · 09-06-2011, 05:56 PM

I like them both, I see them as two very different games. Sims 3 fits my playing style: I love building and I haven't got the patience to play one family generation after generation.

Oh they are definitely different! What bugged me was that I couldn't choose which families to play at my speed vs the ones that could "run free". I liked the idea of other families aging at will, but wanted the control of TS2 for my few core families. Does that make sense?
Plus the CC was changing so rapidly that I got tired of keeping track of all of it.

Sorry! I went looking for him, chatted to some neighbours and located him high on a brick fence. Took him home before dark. He is so naughty! Now it is morning the next day and he has gone out again.

He still has trouble jumping on the couch. It beats me how he got on that fence, and one of the neighbours said he was on next door's roof a couple of days ago!

He has very strong arms, and can climb. I am guessing there are hand holds on the places he gets up on, because he can't get on the bed!

I like it that I don't have to play different families on rotation. I just have one family per neighbourhood I play.

With both TS1 and TS2 I had tons of CC, but with TS3 I have very little. Mostly some hacks to solve some bugs. What does annoy me a bit is that the expansion and stuff pack all contain expensive items. I wish there was a little more focus on the poor sim, in TS2 I often used items from University and the Ikea pack.

Using my iPhone 3G to post because the broadband fault I came to sort out became a fully failed phone line without even a dial tone. For the third time in about a month!

Gosh... in just a few short years we've gone from having to put a telephone handset onto an acoustical modem at 14.4, to being able to connect to the Net with a broadband speed wirelessly... Amazing, doncha think!

We had quite an eventful morning today.

In my city along most of the main canal there's a lower level where the basements exit (see this photo). One of our basements, however, can't be access through our house. This morning at 7 am the police rang that our neighbour had seen men entering that basement and the police caught one man red handed when he was emptying our basement of old metal stuff that was in there.

A year ago we the contractor of the council was restoring the basement walls and they asked if they could store some stuff in our basement, which my father didn't mind, but they never returned the key. Since there wasn't any damage done my father thinks they hadn't bolted the two bolts on the left door and even if they locked the door (lock is on the right door) it couldn't have been pushed open that way.

Personally it wouldn't surprise me if one of our neighbours had a hand in it. A couple of months ago she asked my father if she could rent it for storage but my father said no. Today I chatted with her son and he told me that she wanted to continue cleaning that basement out so she could use it. I think she had asked the guy that was arrested to clean it out for her. Not that that's our problem.

I think they are going to continue restoring the wharfs soon but that contractor isn't allowed to use the basement any more and he's going to get the bill for a new lock my father had to put on the door.

What surprised me most was that the police came by later this morning to have my father sign a statement, usually you have to go the police station at a certain time to get things done.
