Dear everyone, Well, as indicated in the subject line, sometimes when life looks bleakest, and you're expecting the worst, there is reason to hope after all. My wife plays Ultima Online and members of her guild got together and decided to raise money -- we're talking real cash, folks, not Federation credits or Monopoly money -- so as to help us pay our mortgage and the lot rent for next month. So, for a while, we have a reprieve. We don't want to up and leave. We don't want to quit the Sims we love so much. It's just that, earlier today, it looked like there was a tunnel and no light. I apologize for announcing all of this so melodramatically but it sure felt like the end. At the very least, we ARE getting the place cleaned up some, as we were going to start packing ... ;-D See you guys Sunday / Monday / Thursday nights!
