Typically, when I make holiday pies for the family, I make pecan (aka: Gelatinous Nut Pie) which I don’t like, and pumpkin, which I LOVE. If you get the big can, it makes two pumpkin pies. I usually keep one for myself. Pie, as my Moür Moür taught me, is good for every meal. This year, the Christmas Eve dinner included 18 people. So I brought both pumpkin pies over. But I only got one baby slice. There was no pie for Christmas morning breakfast. Or Christmas afternoon and evening snacks. So I am making myself a little pie right now. How is it I make so many pies, but have no pie plates? Someone out there has a surplus of pie plates.
So, no DSL. What’s more, verizon cancelled my email account. I only need that for an SMTP server, and I could use webmail, but it’s very annoying. So I got my own back up dial up account, so I could quit mooching. And I could have reliable SMTP. I also ordered a cable modem and high speed internet access from the cable company. I’ve had it with verizon. It’s just so annoying and every single thing is a nightmare to deal with, when it comes to the internet. Even their website is confusing. So I am canceling DSL.
Now, until I ordered that cable modem, I didn’t understand how powerless Verizon was making me feel. Because as soon as I hung up the phone, it was SUNNY DAYS AGAIN! I’m so happy, I might just accomplish something with my week off that is already halfway over. Instead of playing the sims. Although, I must say, I’ve created my most successfully slutty sim ever, Thea. A recent college graduate with a degree in psychology, Thea currently has 4 “lovers.” One more and we get bonus points! That girl is a woo-hoo having machine, I’m telling you! Currently, she is working in the paranormal field. But we might switch to athletics. She likes doing the yoga and working on the treadmill.
So, pie in the oven, cable modem on the way, sexy slutty sims burning up the woo-hoo, life’s looking up.
Wondering what is contained in the “bonus” points.
Nice job on punting Verizon. They should stick to cell phones.
I have three pie plates. Is that too many? Am I creating a pie plate monopoly? God I am going to worry about that all night. 😛
I can’t say I’m a big fan of pecan pie. I dislike it almost as much as peanut butter pie.
I SO want to be one of your Sims…
ahhh – what a lovely morning! i just might have to make some pumpkin bread now. see you online in they new year! i had to work yestserday and today (with nobody to distract me, but i did alright finding distractions on my own). i took today off and we have company holidays until tuesday! wheee!
So…..did you make gelatinous nut pie this year, too? You didn’t say.
You’re gonna love cable! In the, uh, 7ish years that I’ve had it, I’ve had very, very few problems with it.
Oh, and woo-hoo for the woo-hoo lovin’ sim! I just got the sims out again, after a long period of not playing…..FUN (though, you might not want to read the blog entry I’m about to put up).
thomas, you’d SO be a slutty sim.
delmer, i agree with you. it’s sorta dumb, for a pie. just a bunch of sugar and nuts. blech.
jack, it makes them very very happy you want your sims to be happy. it’s the way you “win”
christine, you can have as many pie plates as you want.
yay! fee. my mom made a pumpkin pie with no crust this year. i thought of you.
marie, it’s ok i know you have better sim toys than i do. i love the sims 2 sooo much. and yes, i made the gelatinous nut pie. blech.
mmmmm…. pie….
for the record, i don’t like pecan pie either. my southern, everything-fried-and/or-covered-in-gravy, boyfriend thinks that is heresay. lol.
I completely agree with you that a SMTP server is essential. Right now, I can receive mail in Outlook, but need to reply in WebMail, which means… I practically never reply to people anymore.
But I have cable, so no idea what that’s about. I think it’s an interprovincial curse. The Internet Gods wanted me to stay in the boonies.
