Ha! Ha! It's like this:
Guiding Hand: Okay guys, I'm back! It's time to give you something to eat!
Virtual Family: Yay!!!!!
After Meal...
Guiding hand: Right guys, now your tummies are full, you're moving out! Bye!
Virtual Family: But we were gonna watch TV!
Guiding Hand: No excuses! Goodbye!

Of course I'm sure you didn't say it like that! I'm a huge exaggerator sometimes! Of course I understand why you had to act on that email!
Oh, what's a saveGame file? Is it like saving something on the hard drive? (I'm a Mac user so I don't know about Windows backups and I've never backed-up a game before)
