SG Cordray Pondering the Universe

My family was next door neighbors to the family of one of the plane crash victims. Granted, I was only twelve at the time and didn’t know the victim as well as other family members. He was much older than I and away at college. He was an assistant trainer of the team, a senior at Marshall.

When I first heard of this movie, I cried. I hoped this was what the movie would be about.

It’s about time people focus on what’s good and great about America rather than what’s wrong with it. No place is perfect but even in the midst of such tragedy, we find ways to go on. That’s the America I remember and treasure most. I wish others did as well.

Two thumbs up and more for the makers of this movie, the cast, and everyone else involved in telling this story. Words can’t express what this means to me.

As I watched the movie trailer, I cried again, harder than I did when I first heard. I don’t think I can go to the theaters and watch this movie. If I find it this hard to watch a trailer, how can I sit in a crowded theater and watch the entire film? No, this will be one I will first have to watch by myself before I can watch it with others.

Sims2 search terms that have come up in the stats:

sims2 open for business electronic ticket: The electronic ticket stand in OFB allows you to set up a shop where all you are selling is time… on exercise machines, musical instruments, libraries, or any other kind of thing you can come up… Well, you already know from a previous post what I did with it and the raving success it became.

sims 2 brother sister woohoo: With lizz love’s bed, also called the autonomous bed, you can set to have this happen.  Or if, for some weird reason you’d like to see some inbred children from such a union… I’m not sure who would want to but I guess there are all kinds, right? Some things are just too weird for me to contemplate… but, honestly… regardless of some of things I’ve done to the Sims2 game, I’m really a prude.

sims 2 jealousy patch: this patch allows for attached Sims to fool around without the usual consequences of a big fight, regardless of whether their other half is present or not. Indeed, both partners can fool around with the same person if that floats your boat. I’m not sure where I downloaded it. If I remember where I found it or find the link again I’ll post it. There may be a link in one of the posts where you can find and download the autonomous bed… for some reason that sounds about right. I used it rather naughtily myself, prude though I am. Note: It does not work on teens unless there is an updated version I haven’t seen and if a teen gets upset over infidelity, you might find an adult also upset in situations where an adult is in love with the other half of the cheating couple. Teen jealousy seems to override the patch completely in some situations.

 

Oh, and I found the section of script that changed “No Comments” to “0 Comments”. It was not where I expected nor was it in several other places I might have expected it.

There seems to be a lot of interest in this bed so I’m providing a download link: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=82193 . You really should spend a lot of time on Mod the Sims2 for objects and hacks to the game if you have interest in expanding your game further than EA’s expansion packs allow. If you have an interest in making your own objects it’s also a good place to share them. I have the interest but not the time so the site is a great place for me to pick up goodies when I’m tired of the older stuff.

Since I haven’t been able to play the game much lately I’ve been thinking about my characters and some of their antics. I often wonder about the AI programming involved in the game because just when I thought I had it figured out, some character did something unexpected in a given situation.

Note: I’m presently trying to find the file that tells the blog to use “No Comments” when there aren’t any comments. I would like to change that to 0 Comments. I’m thinking it might make people more comfortable because, to me, it reads as if comments aren’t allowed when they actually are.

Sometime earlier in the year, I gave away, Writing Wise,the site I’ve owned since 2004. There were a lot of reasons for doing so, some of which are rather painful to think about. The site was started based on an ideal; an ideal I have every confidence will be realized under its present owner.

For some time after the transfer of domain name ownership I stayed on in an administrative capacity. I’m no longer needed in that function. Over the last week, my name has been erased in all forms, my admin name, my screen name, and so on.

Here’s hoping that the site will flourish under the new owner and admin team. I wish them all the best success.
