Baby Timothy John is born!

While I wait for my new computer to get built (And I finally get all the games installed), I went thru the archives and made this video on the fly. Enjoy! (By the way...Maybe it's just me, but I think that there is something kinda creepy about watching my older brother get born!)

It's all about the M O N E Y!!!

So, I've made plans, I made the announcements, and now, I find that I have to put off my plans to move forward in my evolution as a Simmer and save up for some memory BEFORE I install all of the Sims 2 add ons, and thus, start my plans that I had announced earlier of making my first recolor. Now, I still plan on making my recolor and the subsequent other parts to this project, The "I Made a SIM of Myself Over John Foster Dulles" Project", but I realized as I'm re-installing all of the add ons and Eps a few days ago, "Hey, I'm going to need more memory once I get past the "Fun With Pets" collection Ep, because the last time that I had that EP on this computer, it almost crashed!" So folks...bear with me...I will be forging ahead with those plans to install all of the EPs, I just won't be doing that creating mesh thing just right now. I will however, taking Mitchell and Michael "off of life support" and they should be back in the new Covert Covet by this evening, and I will pick up their story at whatever point I left them at when I removed the game off the old hard drive, and hopefully, I'll have enough footage shot that I can make some new videos!

And now, for my next trick!

As I stated in my post of October 16th, I am about to embark on my first recolor project. It will be the first time that I will have ever made ANY object for sims, so this will be a totally new experience for me. About he closest to "design" that I've done is changing hair or skin tones or types in the CAS screen, but never any true original design. This is actually just one part of a much larger project, which for now is for now being called The "I Made a SIM of Myself Over John Foster Dulles" Project. (If you know your broadcast television history, you will be able to guess of whom I am going to make a celebrity sim of.) I won't say just what look he or she will have, but his or her costume is rather involved, and will take many parts, the first of which will be a recolor of part of the costume, the second will be of the sim himself or herself, the third will be a very important accessory, and there will be a fourth and final accessory.



Now, that's all the hints that I'm giving out...can you guess who it is going to be, readers? Only Lab Cat, Hunter, Sugah, SIMply Edward, and Andrewplay and if memory serves me correctly, AdriannaSimmie know who I am referring to. No fair tracking them down and trying to get them to divulge the identity of the mystery celebrity...all will be revealed in good time...

So...I haven't been on lately...my apologies!

So, there's been a couple of turn of events for this sim dad: First, I haven't played the game for several weeks, but will resume playing hopefully soon. The main reason that I haven't played is because I don't have all my expansions installed, and the reason that I don't have all of my expansions installed is because I don't have enough room on my tiny 80 G hard drive. I have looked into possibly buying a used 300 G hard drive (I actually want a terabyte, but I don't think that this old GatewayE-6100 XP machine can handle that much!) Another development is that I've transfered to a different branch of my company, which allows me to earn more money, so eventually, that means a new car and hopefully, a new computer as well---or at least a really bitchin' update to this clunker!

The last development is a bit of a sad one: Edward and Andrew have decided that they no longer have the time to devote to Simply Edward's and The Playhouse, so they shut it down last week. So yes, that means that I'm now out of a "job", and I am actually thinking of starting my own forum.

...Or, I might just join them over at Colour Sims where I'm already a member, and just hang out there. I'm also going to hang out at DL Mulsow's forum a lot more, so you can find me there and(http://dlmulsowssimantics.freeforums.org/viewforum.php?f=25)
...over at Insiminator.org (Where I met Edward, by the way)

So, you...my readers...what do you think? Should I be content with the 3,000 other sim forums that I already belong to, or should I get a taste of life in the fast lane and start my own sim forum? I can't even create at this point, and I'm crazy for even thinking of starting this forum, but part of my reason to do this in the first place is that I want to re-unite the old gang from SE as well as have a crack at being the administrator of a forum. We had some great times at Simply Edward's and they were over too soon, and dog gone it, I want to get those good times back! I miss the old gang, ya know? I'm already a moderator at two other sites...how much more work can it be? Okay, faithful readers...either talk me into it or talk me out of it!

"...When you were talking about the fork in the road...there are other forks further along the road...so many!" (Betty Davis as Charlotte Vale, in "Now, Voyager")



Well, apparently, fate has decided that I do indeed take that other fork in the road, where the former SIMply Edward turned Michael's Musings forum was hacked on October 21th.  I was of course, in a panic as I received an email approximately at 10 PM telling me that my account on my own forum had
been deleted.  Edward warned me just a few days ago what the warning signs are that a person has hacked your forum, and that was when I realized that my forum had indeed
been hacked.  I contacted Edward immediately.  Well, after about an hour of trying to get the old forum back, I went ahead and played around with the forumotion site, and while Edward was giving it one last try, I started the new Michael's Musings and after I told Edward, we mutually agreed that it was indeed for the best, and Edward even said later that the imbecile that hacked the form was doing him a favor, and I came to the same conclusion, because one problem that I anticipated was with any new people reading posts from the old forum and getting quite confused. 

Let me tell you a story.  It will act as an analogy to how I feel about the present:

A number of years ago, a Latino cutie pie broke my heart after a year's exchange of emails, chats and gifts back and forth.  She finally had enough courage to write me and tell me that she had met someone else and didn't know how to tell me.
When I finally got her "Dear John" letter, I cried like a baby for two whole days, and found solstice with something that my sister, Terry told me.  She said, "The best revenge is success!"

Well, I think that the new Michael's Musings is a success...we already have six new members, three of which are designers---
top notch STAR designers---so we're off to a good start!

And Michael' s Musings is back like a phoenix from the grave, and I think that we're better than ever, and as Charlotte Vale says at the end of Now, Voyager, "...don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars!"
