Zorom?  You got any prune juice left?  
Suddenly I have a craving for tapioca pudding...

[Astral Faery]

Thanks, and welcome ilovejb!  Nice to have you aboard.

Hi, Vicky!  Glad you could stop by and get caught up.

Medagic - don't forget - it's one week until I resume shooting, not for the posting of the story.  But I'll try to get it done as soon as possible.  I'll throw in some Depends for you.

This is a brilliant story! I can't believe all the times I've looked in the sim stories and never noticed this one! Oh well, better late then never I supppose

[vickylougrl]

Astral is an amazing story teller she has kept my interest with this story for so long and I must admit I have a short attention span!  LOL!

[Stelio Kontos]

This thread needs more German rave metal to listen to while waiting for the next update.

*starts blasting Rammstein through the thread's sound system*

[Astral Faery]

Thank you, ladies!  Your compliments really brighten my day.

SAZ - thanks for adding some music!

Babysitting is officially done!  Never again, lol.  But finally the Summer of Stupidity is at an end.  My boys all start school tomorrow - I have one in 6th grade, one in 4th grade, and my youngest starts kindergarten.  Things will be pretty crazy for awhile as we all adjust to waking up early again (puke!) and going to bed much earlier (double puke!)  Hopefully next week I can set aside one day to work on this.  I'm sorry I've kept everyone hanging so long.

[Stelio Kontos]

Thank you, ladies!  Your compliments really brighten my day.

SAZ - thanks for adding some music!

Thanks. Come to think of it, I found a song that fits Shirra very well.
Shirra's Theme: "At the Left Hand ov God"-Behemoth
(Listen to it. It's quite evil-sounding)

[Zorom]

Now you listen here, astral, I'm going to Italy for two weeks and when I come back you'de better have posted an update!!
C'mon, c'mon! *frantically clutches at tuft of heather on cliff*

[Astral Faery]

Thanks, Hanster.  Our summer vacation just ended and my kids started school today.  That makes mornings crazy, but will give me a little time to myself once they're all out of the house.

dreadwolf - welcome!  That's quite a bit of work to read all 26 chapters at once.  I'm so happy you liked it!

Rock - if you'd changed your avatar I may not have recognized you, lol.  I'll pull up that song when I have a few quiet minutes next week and see what I think.  I'm not into the really heavy stuff, but I bet Shirra would like it.

I should have an update by then Zorom.  I'm aiming by the end of next week.  We'll see how it goes.  Have a good time!  Sounds like fun!

A few pieces of adivce before listening to Behemoth:
-Put the kids to bed beforehand.
-Put on some headphones.
-Turn up the volume.
-The song's normal for the first 30 seconds (A.K.A Until the vocals begin.) That's where the extreme heaviness of the song begins.

That song does sound pretty evil

[Astral Faery]

I'm so mad right now I could spit.  I want to scream and yell and tear my hair out one strand at a time.  Plucking my eyeballs out with a cocktail fork would hurt less than the pain I'm feeling now.  I somehow, and I've no idea how, lost my entire chapter 27 folder - full of pics.  The chapter was 3/4 of the way shot - plus I had about half the pics I needed for chapter 28 and some for 29.  All gone.  Not anywhere on my computer or external hard drive.  The only thing I can figure is that I must have had a brain fart of epic proportions the night I took all those pictures and stored them on my desktop (even though I've never done anything like that before) and then overlooked them when I was saving everything to my external hard drive - and then they got erased when my husband had to do a hard restore on my computer.  I've performed numerous searches, and even went through each and every neighborhood folder manually (in case they were simply misplaced) - and I have 19 neighborhoods!  Not there.  They've just completely vanished.  I was hoping to finish up the chapter and have it posted by Thursday, but due to apparent massive stupidity, that's not going to happen.  I know it could be worse and I could have lost the whole neighborhood and all the characters in it, but I'm still mad because that's several hours worth of work lost.  Argh!  So...freaking...pissed...:angryfir:

[vickylougrl]

OMG! Astral I'm so sorry!  I can only imagine how much work was put into those pictures ugh....
Hope you are able to some how recover them.
