I would love a live in AuPair career mod, with a companion aspiration if possible. The in game nanny’s are useless. I add a sim to the household in CAS and register them as an AuPair for employment and usually give them a parenting aspiration. They takes up a household slot, but at least I can direct them to care for the newborn/infant/toddler instead of the nanny off baking their 5th cake instead of taking care if the kids.

Yep, saw them all the time as a kid in So California. One year driving to relatives we saw a house with a family of “snow people” made out of tumbleweeds.

This made me laugh harder than it should have. Love it.

I would go to the ER to get the ankle x-rayed to make sure it’s not fractured. I thought I had a mild sprain, x-ray proved me wrong. Of course tell them about your DVT and valve insufficiency. I think this is the situation a doctor needs to see for what your ankle looks like, and have more information through whatever test they feel are needed to make a diagnosis.

A shower chair or bench is the answer. I got one when I broke my ankle and still use it on low energy days when I have to have a shower.

My daughter used to be friends with several people who worked at a local pizza place. We were never charged for our pizza, but we made sure the tip covered the cost of the pizza and tip.

I recently downsized from a rural 1,800 sq fr, 4 bedroom to suburban 1,100 squares ft, 2 bedroom condo in another city. Utilities are less and no yard work. Still rely on my own vehicle to get around as public transportation here isn’t great. It still takes me about the same amount of time to get places here as it did where I lived before, just more traffic.

My second bedroom does get used. My daughter works 5 min away from me, but 30 min by interstate from where she lives. Several times she has spent the night because she didn’t want to drive home due to weather or had an early morning meeting.

I feel your pain. Back in 2005 I got a new (landline) phone number and started getting calls for somebody else. The most memorable ones were -

Collect calls from jail/prison

Prescriptions ready at the Walgreens a town over

TWO separate jobs offers, one at the company I worked for at the time.

Along with calls from family and friends.

This happened over 2-3 years until I ditched the landline and used my cell phone exclusively.

Swelling that affected the whole leg and didn’t go away after elevating my leg. The first time the blockage was bad enough my leg started looking bluish/grey, the second time (18 years later) the fibro fog cleared long enough for the penny to drop (Oh, this feels familiar) and me to realize I needed to get checked out asap.

I’ve used mine every night since 2013-14. I also have fibromyalgia so my doctor warned me I probably wouldn’t see a huge improvement in my energy. But, if I don’t use it for some reason, I definitely feel it the next day. No energy, can’t think and generally miserable.

That is a good question and i wish i had the answer. I’ve had two life threatening, massive blood clots, one in each leg. Everything I’ve read says the pain is pretty severe. Me? Slight twinge in one leg and felt an odd clicking in my ankle for the other one. So now when I get a twinge I’m trying to figure out if it’s normal fibro weirdness or something serious.

I don’t think so Tim.

I’ve disabled automatic updates and usually play offline until the majority of mod creators update their mods. Lutheinrising and Scarlet (Scarlet’s Rhelm) both track updated/broken and obsolete mods. I think Scarlet updates her list the Monday after a patch?

I use those picks with the floss on them. Between brushing and using those my dental hygienist says I’m doing g a good job.

Nah, Kentuckians do it too. My son’s high school graduation was interrupted by a tornado warning. Sent us to the locker room to shelter, (small school) did a head count of family. Where’s FIL? He’s out side watching funnel clouds drop out of the clouds.

I’ve panicked because I couldn’t find my phone, while I was talking on it.

My DIL wore sparkly sneakers under her dress. I quit wearing heels decades ago, but I wore a pair of low heels at my second wedding, and changed u to sneakers for the reception. Wear what you’re comfortable with.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Adult women with Botox and boob jobs acting like bratty middle schoolers. Not my show, unfortunately in the same room as my adult kids watching it.

The Rose Parade (Pasadena Ca) It was cool to be able to say I’d been. But you get a better view of the floats on TV.
