Beware! Warning! Caution!


Apparently there is a new video game coming out that adults are a bit worried about. They believe it will influence our children in a negative way. Maybe even cause the next school shooting - or maybe a church shooting...

Here's the description:


Yesterday, on T2A, we were introduced to The Purpose Driven Life Takers. An ultra-violent video game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, based on scenes from the first four novels in the Left Behind novel series, puts you "on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state". It's to be rated T for Teens, meaning it is targeted at the 13-19 year old age group, and is "slated for release by October 2006 in advance of the Christmas shopping rush".




Doesn't that sound great??? I wanna play!

Long time, No blog

Hello folks!

I have a lot of ground to cover to keep this updated. I am going to do a very quick re-cap.

My in-laws came down from MN at the end of April. That meant no blogging due to cleaning, organizing, etc. Me going into a frenzy. They stayed for about a week, and took my daughter with them when they left (for two whole weeks!! Woo hoo!!). To my surprise, I missed her immediately. Dammit!

Once they left, we had to start preparations for our annual May festival. I tried to cram 2 weeks worth of sewing into one week. I did not succeed, but still did better than I thought I would. All in all, a good sewing phase. (No blogging then either.)

Then, we were at the annual May festival for about a week. We were staff this time around. That was different!! I'd do it again though.

We picked up our daughter on May 15th from Nashville. Quite a long drive, but plane tickets are cheaper in and out of Nashville. It was great to see our Diva again!!!

Since then, I have been trying to get back in the groove of things. My computer has been screwing with me. I wonder if the modem is starting to go... Basically, I get online and do a fraction of what I planned before I have to restart. By then, I just don't wanna try again. I put the Sims in instead. We have the expansion packs for them now. We get to date, go shopping, go on vacation... It's fantastic!! I turned my bachelor (Stud Wannabe) into a player. Women actually got into a fight over him. Also he was told that he "knew just what to do to leave her wanting more." *laugh* Maybe I can work on my penis envy issues through him. I love it: Therapy via The Sims.

I love all of you, and I am missing the blogosphere. I'll get there, I promise!
