Oh gee, how did I miss this thread? Well, here I am! I'm a long-time player of Maxis simulation games, like SimFarm, SimAnt and SimCity, from way back in the 1990s. Gosh that seems so long ago. So it was only natural that the original The Sims was a must-have for me when it first came out in 2000. I have been joyfully simming ever since.
Born and raised in So. Calif., I come from the rustic era (lol) of hula hoops and 19-inch TVs that only came in black and white. When I was 5 yrs. old, I won a Twist dance contest out of 30 other contestants at a Mattel Corp. (toy company) promotional. I have loved dancing ever since. I still have my very first Barbie doll from 1963. I worked for Government for 33+ years, now retired. Been happily married for 38 years to my soulmate and have 3 living children and 2 beautiful grandchildren. Besides simming, I love reading, crocheting, horses, and kittycats. I also enjoy a good game of mahjong.
I'm an optimist at heart and always try to see that silver lining in the clouds. I enjoy the forums and the variety of discussions about my favorite game. It is wonderful to experience the humor, camaraderie and input from people from all over the world that also love this game. As one who grew up for the first 40 years of my life without any internet, it's still incredible to me that the web and The Sims game make all this inter-connection possible, for which I am grateful.
Rosemow, thank you for the good cheer and pleasant vibes you always bring here. And now, pretty please, perhaps you could share a little something about yourself? :)
