very nicely done, I can quit shopping at the convience store now, and actually go to the grocery

you did a very good job

bloom, you're wonderful

everyones got sexyfeet now

thanks a bunch, Boy you're quick, now I can run through the jungle barefoot in a loincloth, my dream come true

I'm making an island neighborhood, and this is gonna look so cool floating off shore

excellent, always loved the voodoo on GTA, I had a real one many years ago

I just wanted to say, I've continued this story over at insimadult, if you liked it,and you're old enough, you can read it there

quite frankly, as the plot progressed, it started dealing with things like rape, incest, suicide (starlights had a rough life) and I don't feel comfortable posting the story on a PG-13 site, to make it PG-13, I'd have to leave so much out, it wouldn't make much sense, so the story here is concluded, sorry

but those of you that are old enough, you're more than welcome to read it there, it's up to chapter 17 I think, Starlight has turned out not the be the ditzy little space cadet, she first appeared to be, and slim has grown quite fond of her

well i already have the satin, so I may as well get the silk while I'm at it

a few rose petals, some incense and candles, and look out lady sims, Romeo is on the loose LOL

very nice, my sims needed some satin sheets

this was done by request over at insimadult, I thought I'd share the "milder" version over here

it's an edit of a rather funky looking EA outfit, I took off all the funky accessories, and put it on a basegame swimsuit, so it is 100% base game compatable, and requires no mesh



it comes in black, blue, green, purple and white/gray

Rar contains all 5 colors

OMG!! I'm speechless

THE CROW!!!!!!

sim city will never be the same again

believe it or not, i had a pair identical to these, way back when, I had them all the way into the 90's, every 4th of July, you could see me coming from a block away

well I'm officially blind, cross eyed and see stripes in my sleep, but I wanted to give you something special

I was looking at the calendar, and realized, next month was the 39th anniversary of the defining moment of the 60's

August 15th 1969, when 500,000 hippys decended on a small farm in upstate New York for 3 days of "Peace, Love, and Music"

It was a groove man, Jerry, Jimi, Janice and Joe were there, even Arlo showed up, there wasn't enough food, not enough restrooms, and it rained part of the time, ......but nobody cared man!!




made from 100% organically grown hemp, and hand stitched by Hopi Indians, these "Uncle Sam hiphuggers" are guaranteed to bring on good vibes, complete with peace symbol belt buckle



so grab your love beads, put some flowers in your hair, throw your stuff on the bus, stick some "Canned Heat" in the 8 track and practice your "hippy dance", cause we're goin to Woodstock


naw man, not the lil yella bird that hangs wit snoopy, aw dude, you're bummin me out


requires the " tfbottomhipflarepantsboot sm"mesh to work, you can find it here


I've also added a pair for normal teens( file name 5fa6291d regteenRWBUS) they are standard maxis clothing, just in case your teens aren't skinny little tomboys like mine are

Ok, the next 2 chapters are over at insim adult, i'll try to fill you in as quick as possible

long story short, we went for a walk to the junk pile, later that night, I became worried about Starlight being alone in the woods, and came back to kinda keep an eye on her, good thing too, because I chased off a couple of unsavory characters in the woods, who didn't have the best intentions

the story ended with me in the woods at 2 am wondering what to do about Starlight, chapter 5 begins

[/SIZE][/FONT]



I awoke at the crack of dawn, cold, wet, covered with dew, leaves in my hair, and a taste in my mouth like a raccoon had used it as a port-a-potty while I slept (who knows, maybe one did)

when my eyes regained their focus, i looked over at the shack, Starlight was already up and going, who knows, maybe she hadn't even been to sleep yet, she appeared to be dusting off the rocks that were outside the shack with an old paintbrush, i can't say for certain, it was early, I was half asleep, but it looked like that was what she was doing

I moved my tired bones, and crouched, so Starlight wouldn't see me, and headed back to the house, thinking all the way about what to do about this situation

I when I got home, i had a few cups of coffee to get rid of the taste of raccoon poo, had myself a hot shower, grabbed the car keys and headed towards the door, to go visit Starlight

when I pulled up, Starlight was already at the emporium selling lemonade, well she was at the emporium, but she didn't seem to be selling anything

she saw me, and almost upest the stand, in a rush to greet me

"Oh cool" she said" you got a car"

I looked back at it"well you could call it that I guess"

so' I asked her" hows business?"

still kinda slow" she said, a sound of disappointment in her voice "it takes awhile for people to find out I guess"

'well" I told her" that's kinda good, throw out the self serve sign, we're gonna go grab a bite to eat'

"but.......... "

"nope, won't hear it,"interrupting her mid sentence" you fed me yesterday, my turn today"

"but I'm not dressed to......."

"we aint going to the Ritz, you look fine, lets go" and with that I grabbed her hand and started leading her towards the car, two could play that game

I opened the door for her, then closed it once she got in, when I got in Starlight was looking all around , checking out the car

' I like your car" she said

I about died laughing, let me tell you about my car, it's a 79 pinto wagon, it should have gone to the junkyard years ago, but it was the last car my dad had bought before he passed away, and I just couldn't bear to part with it, so for the past 20 years i've done what I could to keep it going, but the inevitable end was drawing near

I had decided to take starlight to a little neighborhood place called the "Hilltop Cafe", ( you can visit the Hilltop here)there usually wasn't but a dozen people there during rush hour, and this was well before that, I knew everyone who went there, and they had good food



Starlight and I walked inside, just as I thought, just a few regulars drinking coffee, Sherri the owner, and Ruth waiting tables

Bo Bo, and a few of the other regulars, looked at me like "where did you find her?"



Sherri the owner gave me a look like" where'd you find her, and why'd you bring her in here"

Ruth, business as usual, looked like she could care less one way or the other


we sat at a little table, and Ruth brought us our menu's, i just wanted a burger, and fries, and a cup of coffee, when it was Starlights turn to order, she hesitantly said " I'll just have a dish of cole slaw

"thats all you want? i asked her, and motioned Ruth back to the table "you get something to eat, i don't care what you get, eat as much as you want, I got it covered



with that, starlights eye's brightened up, "you mean it?' she began to look at the menu with new found interest, she turned to me, "what's a Texas Chili Burger?"

well hon" I said" that's kind of a mystery, even people from texas ain't never heard of one"

(let me stop and take a moment to explain the "Texas Chili Burger, that was the owners baby, she had thought up the idea,  it was basically a hamburger,bun and all, drowned in chili, you had to eat it with a fork, it never quite caught on,but sherri kept it on the menu, hoping someday it would, that was 10 years ago, and that day hadn't come yet)

"I'll have one of those" starlight said" and a choc shake, french fries , oh and I still want the cole slaw too"

ruth jotted down the order, and disappeared in the back



the guys at the counter continued to drink their coffee,and chat with each other, however,judging by the hand motions and sideways glances, I was pretty sure, Starlight and I had become the new topic for discussion,

Starlight arranged her placesetting, while she waited for her food, we had idle chit chat about how nice the place was, and how long I had been going there

before long, Ruth returned with our food, and placed it in front of us, Starlight looked like she wanted to take a picture of it, before she ate it, so she could remember this moment forever



while Starlight is a wonderful girl, she was a little lacking in table manners, not meaning to put her down, but she reminded me of a dog, that hadn't eaten in awhile, that suddenly had  T bone placed in front of it, I had barely eaten half my burger, and Starlight had finished everything, I wiped my mouth and asked
" Hon, you want anything else"

she hesitated a moment" well" she said

I quickly motioned Ruth back to the table, I had already learned one thing about Starlight, grab those moments of indecision, before she changes her mind

"Ruth, Starlight would like something else"

Starlight looked at me hesitantly 'really?"

Yes" I assured her" really"

"well" she said" I'd really like another one of those Chili burgers"



that was the first time, i had ever seen Ruth ask a customer to repeat their order again

when Ruth clicked the ticket, even the grill cook peeked out from behind the grill to see who had ordered a second chili burger, I don't think it had ever happened before

I think Sherri started to take a liking to Starlight after that, finally, someone who had appreciated the Texas Chili Burger

by the time I had finished my food, Starlight had been served and eaten

I asked her if she wanted anything else, and she assured me she was full, while wiping chile burger off her mouth,


 suddenly, Starlight let out a window ratteling belch

BoBo let out a snort, I think liquid had come out his nose (Starlight had that effect on people)

meanwhile, Starlight had turned red as a stopsign, she stood up and announced to the rest of the restaurant "Excuse me" then sat back down, more than a little emberassed

I looked at her" thats alright hon, Chili burgers will do that to ya

even Ruth laughed at that one

with that, i paid the bill, helped Starlight into the car, started it up, waited for the smoke to clear, and headed back to the emporium

On your way to St Louis, across the street from Becks Motor Lodge, you'll find the "Hilltop Cafe"



modeled after a place I worked in during the spring and summer of '94



inside you'll find counter seating for 5



a small game room



3 small tables and 3 booths, in back, a kitchen area and small walk in freezer, the only thing missing is the spring wheel to put up the tickets



so stop on in and have a bottomless cup of coffee with the regulars, you won't find "fillet minion" on the menu, but the burger and fries can't be beat, and the biscuts and gravy are outta this world


thanks to exnem and numenor for the soda machine, you can find it here
