A little pre-update update.

Okay, the new Magpie Heir is now married. However... would it be okay if I were to wait a bit for her to have kids? There are soooo many Sims in the house, and a few of them are slated for... expiration. I want her to have two kids, so I have at least some choice for Gen 6 Heir. The other option is to make most of Gen 3 and Gen 4 uncontrollables, as in actually remove them from the family panel with Sim Blender, and have a couple of generations of semi-ISBI. :D

In other news, I may get an opportunity to go back to college. :-/ Maybe I can actually get that Master's Degree that unfortunate circumstances put a stop to eight years ago. I'm terrified by the idea of returning to school, but I have already decided with about 80% certainty that if it's possible, then I'm going. School has pulled me back in before, and I probably won't be happy until I surrender to the call. I've been given a pretty good IQ (although you wouldn't know...), and I feel like I should probably put it to better use than I've been doing.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I've been off in strange lands...or something like that. Maybe I still am, because my comment is making no sense whatsoever! X)

Anyway, just wanted to say if you need to hold off on your heir birthing the next generation for a while, that's okay. You gotta do what feels right/what makes game play the most fun for you, or you don't enjoy it. That's what I tell myself every time I break another rule, anyway! But seriously, this game is so old that I doubt anyone will be coming for us if we play it the way we want to. And if they do, well, they really need to reexamine their priorities in life. XD

As for getting your degree, go for it if you can! Everybody is smart at something. I'm probably just smart at being an aleck! I would be content to drift through life with no direction the way I've been doing if it weren't for things like health problems I can't pay for, but I can understand other people wanting more. Go for it, I say!

I used to think I was happy letting the winds of life blow me around as well, but now I see that I may have been wrong. However... today I seem to have been blown into a job possibility that sounds a bit challenging, and... somewhat dangerous, but is alleged to be well paid. In today's economy, those are some sweet words. We'll be getting full training in handling the equipement, etc. That will definitely help in financing a future return to the School of Hard Thinking. :)

Thanks for the encouragement! :)
