I've been a Dr. Who fan for years, the original series showed on my local PBS (and I always contributed to keep it on the air), I'm liking this version - especially that this companion doesn't just stand there and scream/cry!

iHATEwrenINSURANCE, first, welcome to ST, 2nd most of the BATs (see def. in newcomers thread), which are downloaded from the STEX (see buttons at the top of the page), are for Rush Hour so you really should consider getting that upgrade, 3rd you should read the newcomers thread, 4th enjoy yourself!

The city of Sacramento as of Jan 2000 = 411,200 The county of Sacramento (same date) = 1,230,700 The state of California as of 1 Jan 06 = 37.1 Million (and they're all on the road when I am! )

My 40th reunion was 2 yrs ago - I didn't go to that one although I had initially intended to go. I did go to my 15 yr reunion it was really weird as I had friends in most groups but no one I was really close to (my best friends had gone to Boston to go to school where their mothers had gone to school). I didn't keep in touch with most of my school mates as I was always the one who was 'different' which allowed me to slip in and out of groups so at the reunion people remembered me but in most cases I hadn't a clue as to who they were - I kept asking are you sure we were in the same class? (My class was huge as we were the first Baby Boom class after WWII) I would say to go, if only as a social experiment, especially as you're going with someone from your class - you two will be able to prompt each others memories (and talk about it later!).

I too, would like to see you continue and finish this tool! Please keep in mind the computer (programming) phobes and see if you can make it really easy to use.

I'd have to agree with Sim1234, it looks to me like you have a snow mod, particularly Peg's mod to make the default buildings look like it had snowed as part of his Mountain Theme Pack

My only suggestions on the custom plugins - use the installer if there is one, otherwise, carefully label the item when you unzip it, and keep your plugins organized!

I'd like to help also, probably editor but, am willing to help anyway you need (although artist may be beyond me!).

He said he had to do some wirering under the house and didn't want to get his clothes dirty!

Originally posted by: Nardo69 Mine is rather simple, too ... My name is Bernhard (German version, with "H" in the middle!). I always hated nicknames like Bernie and then someone gave me the italian version of Bernhard: Bernardo. With its three vowals even longer than the German "Bernhard" it rather fast became Nardo ... And 69 is my year of birth (yupp, I am THAT old!) so in case there has been another Nardo here I combined them: Nardo69 ... My Avatar is also connected to my nickname: It shows Benoit Sokal's Inspector Canardo, one of my all-time favourite comic book characters. He is drinking lots of Whiskey, smokes I don't know how much cigarettes, and when he falls in love it is always a bad ended love-story ... Quite the opposite of any Disney-character and completely political non correct! I guess that's why I like him so much ... Bernhard quote> You're not that old Nardo, I graduated high school before you were born and was in high school when you were born Rayden!

, this is funny! Thanks for the laugh people!

Massacrator, the only way for you not to be a $%&^! is to play the game. You just have to try things out and see what works, that being said, there are some tutorials here that could help (go to the forums page and search for tutorials). Also, take advantage of the City Journals (CJs), look through them and see what 'defines' your style. Additionally, there are cheats if you don't mind using them for money to help you try things. Lastly, there are some mods you might want such as the Network Addon Mod (NAM) if you don't already have it. What ever you do, when you down load pay attention to the 'read me' so you'll have what you need (oh, and really important - organize your plug ins so you can find something if it messes the game up. A lot of the lotters/BATers use installers but some don't so you'll want to place them carefully). Most of all - have fun!

Sure, I'll continue. It was obvious before as my avatar was pictures of Fred and Ginger, my Doggies, so I gave myself the nickname of FanG. But my name is Vicki so I also go by Vic.

Hear, Hear Peg! I too would like a separate 'MEX' as I don't think the current filters are much help. Some people upload 'BATs' as lots and 'Lots' as BATs so as I don't download maps at all, if I tried to use the filters in their current incarnation I would have to filter once for 'lots' and once for 'BATs'.

Date: 2/14/2006 7:10:12 PM Author: SkiGeek I remember getting a polio vaccine in school. It wasn't a shot, though. They marched us all to the cafeteria where there was a nurse with a tray covered with little paper cups, each containing a sugar cube with (what looked like) food coloring on top. We each had to take a cup and put the cube in our mouth and chew/dissolve it. Seems like we did it more than once. quote> We must be of the same generation skigeek, had the same experience as you! Happy Valentines Day everyone (and special Valenines thoughts to my late husband and sweet Ginger).

Yes, Twistie, I still have 7 sponsorships available, send me a pm and I'll sponsor you. Dirk I hope you got my pm re my sponsorship of Andreas?

You'd think that with the number of sponsorships available we would all get bombarded with pms asking to be sponsored but we haven't been (at least I haven't) so maybe Dirk should/could put something on the front page or somewhere to get more attention?

Hi, everyone, I just stopped by for a glass of wine and to tell everyone that due to some good fortune I'm able to sponsor 8 more people with a $20. US donation to ST in their name so that 1) ST can upgrade & 2) someone who wants to donate to ST but can't will get the CD. Just PM me and tell me what ST means to you and I'll donate for you. Tell everyone you can think of that there are a lot of sponsorships out there - check the upgrade thread.

I still have eight ( sponsorships available, so tell me why you want to support ST and I'll sponsor you!

Date: 2/9/2006 6:34:36 PM Author: pmiller19574 Hello Do all the sponcerships have to be limited to students? I would love to donate myself but my husband is one of those people who do not donate to some random site as well. I have no otherway to donate even though I would love to help keep this place running. This site is my home away from home as well and my only escape from real life as well. I have contributed the best way I can by making bats and lots for people to use. lynks

I just donated a couple of months ago and don't need the CD but would like to contribute so anyone who can't donate for whatever reason please pm me and we'll see about donating in your name. Tell me what ST has done for you and what you have done for ST (don't worry if you haven't done anything - after all all I've done was give money). I'll accept 10 applications (just got some extra money from my rental) and donate $20. US for each.
