It's a two-bar day -

[kyburg]

As in, one Luna bar for breakfast - and maybe...maybe one for dinner.

Because today was the Chinese New Year luncheon at work - and much like Thanskgiving, nobody walks away hungry. More like stuffed.

Jim's getting leftovers - I played the "poor honey who has to eat hospital cafeteria food, wah wah" card. He's getting duck, chicken and salted calamari for dinner. Make rice.

Soooo sleepy. Want nap.

In the interest of proving that yes, I can be malicious - I pass along this tidbit, to be found in playing Sims2. I have to admit, I really love the University expansion pack - Nightlife only makes it more playable, but by itself, University is a lot of fun. Yes, it takes a lot of time - but if you really enjoy spending the time, it does some really NICE things for the characters after they leave. First set I graduated from college, I'm still going *whoa* every time they attempt something - they have plenty of friends, plenty of skills - and plenty of earning power. It's uncanny.

However.

I have been able to remedy something that has been annoying me for months.

No longer shall any teen bring home Sophie Miguel or Orlando Centowski yet again from school.

I have sent them - and so many of their townie butts - to college. I've stuffed five of the biggest offenders into one tiny house, plan to give them makeovers and do all kinds of things to them - nobody is going to recognize them. No one.

I'm looking forward to new townie teens. Hit me, Maxis.

I promise to show more intelligence tomorrow. I have, "cross-posted" my sentiments on managing abortion as an issue to a letter to the editor. If I find out if it got posted, I'll y'all know.

Mmmm. Coffee....

I've been playing with the Sims2. I have a town full of Harry Potter characters. And some hacks to allow some interesting/fun stuff.

I'm more than a little leery on hacks, since I'm on a Mac platform - but I got Jim a full install for the PC, which includes University and Nightlife. Now, to get him to play the silly thing.

Typical guy wants to play Civ III and Call to Power. Go figure.

(He'd probably love the Harry Potter characters, though. I would! Trade ya?)

Hav efun with the games!
On a much less fun topic, your earlier abortion issue, I crossposted, and got the following comment, to which I also replied, rather mildly. I believe she's in the Ohio area, which is hardly the back of beyond.

It seems to me I've read that D & E is not, technically, partial-birth abortion, but as I could not recall a link to retrieve this, thought I'd refer it back to you. Also, I recall reading on twistedchick some months ago that there were pressures being brought to bear on legitimate health providers not to perform any of these procedures, and such providers are rare enough animals in some of the more rural states it's hard enough for the woman who *do* have health coverage to get care at all, let alone if you're poor.

I went over and extrapolated a bit - *sigh*

A D&E is NOT a partial-birth abortion. Sheesh.

thanks for the enlightenment!

I was pretty sure it wasn't the same thing--I seem to recall another post of twistedchick clarifying that one, but didn't take time to hunt it down, it would have been 6 months ago or more.
This kind of confusion is precisely how the right to appropriate medical treatment is not at all what priveleged folks think it is for those folks living on WalMart pay.
Thanks agin for taking the time to clarify for us.
