Summer I do not KNOW for a fact that it can come up through the ground or not, but it has always been said to cremate anything that dies of a contagious disease. It would make a lot of sense here in particular as most people have wells and all are spring fed wells, including even the village water facility. Ground water rises. It is know that the contagious forms are usually contacted outside and Spring seems to be the most contagious time of year for that disease as I learned. There is also an upper respiratory disease that can infect every cat in your house if they do not have the proper antibodies by getting their shots every year that can be brought into your home on the bottom of peoples shoes in the early spring, that originally became an airborne "flu" type thing for our feline fur babies believe to have been started by cats dying of the disease and not being cremated. I am technically against cremation for reason I don't want to get into, but for the sake of humanity and all the fur babies, I will go against the belief so at least I don't contribute to the already existent disease that is airborne. It would be one thing if water did not run downhill and all water levels were deeeply below us and never came to the surface. Unfortunately that is not the case, and like it or not anything in a cemetary of any kind is subject to polluting first the water that soaks the ground, then evaporating into the the atmosphere waiting to infect other creatures. I suppose if everything was buried in expensive sealed and unbreakable caskets, there would lots less disease mysteriously in existence, but that is definitely not the case. Fire is the only element known to eradicate rhino viruses which the respiratory illness in cats, as well as distemper, and even the common cold is - but stands to reason we cannot fill the air with fire. There are diseases even oblivious with fire, that none of us would survive - for instance _ that Spanish Flu from 1918 that wiped out people in days. I still worry about that eventually coming back as they never found a cure to it and have been trying for nearly 100 years. All those people were just buried in pine boxes. But fire did not destroy it. Nothing ever has. It just vanished as quick as it appeared. Now that is a scarey thought; but I always had a theory that it came on a meteorite - hince why extreme fire can not kill it nor depriving it of oxygen. Nothing. It is still just as alive today as it was nearly 100 years ago and has been kept Vaccuum sealed in the Ceneter for Disease Control for the most part of it's existence. But anyway, my theory is to prevent anything from being airborne as much as possible and maybe somebody elses little fur baby will be saved. It is but a theory.
Summer, you cannot be corrected if I do something on a theory that i do not even know if it matters or not. I just do things according to logic - and logically it makes sense, but there may not be any more harm in buring your little pets then my chosing to cremate Baby Ash - it is solely just in case and even though it is against my priciples to cremate, it gives me a sense of feeling I just may somehow save some other little kitty's fate. As Fel. LeuK. is not a rhino virus, the odds of it being killed by fire is at most 50/50. I have discovered there is far less known about any leukemia than is know about most other diseases to date. The fact there is a viral form is really scary - seeing there is absolutely no way science has found a reason why anyone gets leukemia. To be honest even the pros at treating this disease remind me of confused kids standing around scratching their heads after you give them a new thing to learn and they did not get the memo. You get a lot of "we don't know" and a lot of "it may do this or it may do that, it may respond to such and such, or it may not help at all." Heck they cannot even estimate if it made suddenly turn lethal tomorrow or it might suddenly go away. Like when my white cells just plain stopped mutating with no medication yet at all. They have no answers. They just keep watching it. Like my doctor says they generally treat the side affects and cannot really do anything against the disease itself until it is rearing it angry head, then they can fight back. Unfortunately they only win 30 percent of the time, but when they do win it seems permanent - like forever. That 30 percent too is only in person between 20- about 50. Under 20 and over 50 is simply the luck of the draw and the cure rate goes below 4-10 percent. But I don't think when it comes to any form of leukemia there are really any good answers. It was just my idea of trying to do something.
The Funeral was on Fox News Channel for 4 hours yesterday. We saw it posted on Yahoo. It was also live on the internet as well.
Gem, will keep an eye out for it when you get it ready. Okay off to go play Lunar Lakes a little bit. Oh before I forget Summer, you know you could always add that Town Living Bistro to the town. That would fit in the overall look of the place. No rule says you have to have the portals. I like them myself. Heck I could even see an entire town with all of those buried beneath ground, then just put things i want to see on the surface. The only thing I wonder is how do sims protest at city hall? That will seem odd not seeing, but I could live with it. It gives a new mad hood a lot more space for Sims and fun spots with the career buildings that size of below surface and being 10 x 10 they are no problem to bury.
