Yeah, yeah, I know. I've told him I'm gonna make him try some tea one day. I got him to eat a salad last weekend!

Salad is icky. The only time I'll eat it is when I can smother it in bleu cheese dressing, and then what's the point of eating salad?

My favorite salads are Grilled Chicken Caesar and Fattoush. Mmmmm...

My favorite salads are anything that isn't a salad in the truest sense--egg salad, potato salad, etc.

Ugh, my cat Simon just puked everywhere. I never knew a cat could hold that much liquid in his stomach. It was all liquid, huge smelly puddles of it.
And while I was cleaning up what he did in the living room he went and laid on my bed and puked all over himself and my comforter. I can't even be
mad at him because he looks so miserable. I'm washing the bedclothes now and I think I'm going to have to wash him. I certainly can't leave him in
his puked on state. I don't know what's wrong with him but he's never done anything like this before.

Oh no, Mad-Eye. That doesn't sound good at all! Hope he gets better soon.

I just found another dried up puddle over here by my computer chair that I didn't see last night. What did he do, run around the living room with his
mouth open and liquid pouring out? I mopped up four large puddles in various spots last night that he did all in one go. I wouldn't have thought the
episode lasted long enough for him to spew so much over such an area. It's all very bizarre. I gave him a bath last night which he didn't enjoy too
much, but the nice thing about Simon is that he will let me do what I want to him as long as I have one hand on him. It's strange--I don't have to
use any force, I just put one hand on his chest to let him know that's where I want him to stay and he stays. The second I move the hand though he
takes off, so there was a little bit of a tug of war but it wasn't too bad. He's still sick today, no puking but sneezing and watery eyes.

Glad he didn't fuss too much during the bath. Could he have encountered something he's allergic to?

He goes in the bathroom and licks the shower stall for unknown reasons. I usually keep the door shut but every time I open it that's where he goes.
It's very bizarre. I don't keep anything in the house that would make my cats sick, so I don't know what his deal is.

That is very strange indeed. What's the shower made of? Wonder what got to him.

It's plastic or something like it. He used to lick the bathtub all the time in the last place I lived by myself. He never licked the tub when I lived
with Mary, so maybe he only likes my flavor. I dunno, sometimes he looks at me like he'd like to eat me. Anyway I can tell he's still not feeling
well, because he's been in the same place on my bed for hours. I keep going in there to check on him and he seems happy to see me, but not his usual
self at all.

Ugh, cat puke is not fun. Not that I've had any experience with cat puke, but I can't imagine it'd be too far different from dog puke...
I was reading a story on the Sims 2 exchange and ran across the following sentence:

I'm not really sure what that means. That tutorial was not my best work photographically speaking--were there lots of dead people around or
something?

The author (RealPollyMogs) decided to create a neighborhood by downloading several occupied houses with reasonable budgets in foreign languages. This
was her assessment of one of those houses, referring mainly to its usefulness as both a deathtrap and an eyesore.

for a link to the story in question, in case you're interested.

You forgot the / to close your command. RealPollyMogs sounds familiar to me but I'm not sure why.
Edit: After Seasons came out, Death by Flies no longer worked because they fixed the pizza box glitch. Is it any surprise that that is when my
interest in the game waned? Of course in TS3 there are hardly any ways to kill your sims at all. Death by Drowning can no longer be accomplished by
removing the ladder, because sims don't need a ladder to get out of the pool--you REALLY have to work at it. Besides drowning there's only
starvation and fire and old age that I've discovered. There may be electrocution but I've never seen a sim get electrocuted yet, and now with the EP
there is death by mummy curse but I haven't seen it yet. It's very disappointing.

Mad-Eye, RealPollyMogs was one of the folks at Shooflee.
I'm surprised. All this time with a new Sims game, and you haven't found many ways to kill sims?

There aren't that many ways. I looked on the forums and there is old age, drowning, fire, starvation, and mummy curse, which I knew about and have
done save mummy curse (I had one sim with the mummy curse but I had been playing her for 500 sim days so I sought the cure for her), but the forum
folks also say there is electrocution. I guess I know what I'm doing today. One of my sims WILL be electrocuted!

I hate changing cat litter. And it's raining and I have to go out. And it's going to snow for the next three days. There, that's my litany of
complaints.

I have so much to do, and I want to get it done, but I've had a general headache the last several days, and my stomach feels very off. I have managed
to get absolutely nothing done with my day, and it's making me stark-raving mad, but I don't even feel good enough to get up and start doing things.

Sounds like food poisoning to me. No more Chinese takeout for you!
Dude I totally forgot about TS3. I gotta get on that!

I just found out the girl I was co-valedictorian with in high school died in her sleep last night. People are dropping like crazy this winter!

How could you forget about TS3? 
No, it's not food poisoning. It's actually related to [not taking] my preventitive meds for my migraines. Needed to reorder, and I dunno how long
it'll take 'em to get to me, so I'm taking the stuff about every other day, to make my last few doses last longer. Aren't these fun withdrawal
symptoms?

Gaah! The last couple of years have not been kind, but this certainly doesn't seem to have been a kind winter, even above and beyond that. Wow,
that's horrible.
