Ahhh, the holidays are upon us. The freeways are jammed with vehicles full of people. All going somewhere to gorge themselves with turkey and other foods. First, they will arrive at their destination tired, angry, and frustrated from the trip.

My youngest son used to sing this when he and the children would come to see me over the holidays. Although I lived in a small town, you actually had to drive over the Coosa River and through the woods to get to "Grandma's" house.

Well, hello everyone. I am a Lynx Point Persian who, for some unknown reason, was left at a horrible place. I believe the humans call it a shelter. I call it a dungeon, or prison, as I have never seen anything like this in reference to shelter.

I am sure most of you have heard the title saying. It is supposed to mean that the person to whom you are speaking and you are the only ones who will ever know what is being said. That it will never be repeated to anyone else.

Does anyone here remember chain mail/letters? You know, the letters you would receive in what is now called snail mail that claimed if you sent a copy of the letter to a certain number of people that good things would happen.

I guess everyone here, at one time or another, has had one or two pests show up on their thread. The problem I have is how to get rid of them and maintain the integrity of the thread.

It seems that there are some here who can delete your comment just because they don't agree with what you say. I have seen comments and links on articles that would be in violation of the COH and are way off topic (and even would be considered hijacking) that were left in.

Okay, my "friend" keeps asking (with a big grin, while smacking his lips!) if I am going to post my recipe for buttermilk biscuits. So, here it is...just remember, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt are the only ingredients that are measured, almost exact!

One of my toons and a friend joined a Guild about 4 weeks ago on the invitation of the Guild Mistress. It is a small guild just getting started, but we liked the name and the tabbard.

Autumn is almost here, and with it comes hunting season in most areas. Some people look forward to this all year, especially dove season. They work periodically throughout the year setting up what is known as a dove fields to help attract this little bird.

Well, I've gone and done it now. I have entered the world of MMORPG. I was happy playing my other games, like Zuma, Luxor 2, Chuzzles, and of course my SIMS.

They tell me they will be releasing Sims 3 sometime next year. From the interview I read here the Sim people will be even more realistic and you will have more control over the neighborhood and interactions there.

I found a family in one of the ready made neighborhoods with a Plant Sim and Plant Sim baby. Plant babies are easy to tend to and easier to have than regular babies. All the Plant Sim needs is love, water, and sunlight.

Sabrina was the first cat we acquired since I came to California. We found her at a local pet store that has an adoption center located in a small section of the store. It was December 2006 and we had stopped to go into a computer store in the same shopping center.

Have you seen them? Those cut little fuzzy balls with wiggle eyes? I don't know how long they have been out, but I have recently added them to my favorites on one of the game sites I visit.

I never was into multi-player games very much, not even before computer games. It always seemed everyone was more serious about them than I (I absolutely hated playing Monopoly with my older brother. He always had to win).

In my free time, I often play The Sims 2. I got started a couple of years ago with The Sims Complete Collection. The Sims Complete has some interesting things like Magic Town and some nice building tools (paint, wall paper, etc), but the characters are a bit...well...flat.
