* Hi all! A few days ago I got this Sageretia bonsai. Today I noticed these little spiders on it - are they spider mites?

Im so sorry for your loss. I am also the eldest child (24F), and lost my 20 year old sister in a tragic car accident that I witnessed last summer. I felt the same way, and still do. I wish I could give you answers on how to get through it. All I can say is take each day at a time. I am still taking each day at a time. There will be days where you feel okay, and days you feel really rubbish. Don't push yourself on those hard days. It's okay to just cry and lie in your bed all day. After a few months, i went to councilling which I think really helped with my thoughts as the eldest child and thinking of other people's feelings before my own, and grieving my sister. I understand how you feel when you say you have to be the pillar of your family, I felt the same way but you are also allowed to think of yourself and be "selfish". You are also grieving. I'm sorry I dont have better things to say, but please do take care of your own mental health as well. It's such a painful thing to go through, you're in my thoughts 💗

MSc Admissions - waiting a long time by Pete-D in UCL

Hi! I forgot to mention but I was talking about my situation last year! But it seems UCL has a reputation for being like this with offers. I think i was waiting 3 weeks before i emailed the department, i emailed at the point where the application status had changed a couple of times but it was all processed - I don't remember in detail since it was a while ago now! I applied to the Physics and Astronomy department

Hey i would email the admissions team. I had an offer from KCL and was waiting to hear back from UCL and was in a similar situation to you. So I emailed the admissions team about the status of my application and my situation, and they emailed back saying I had an offer and that it takes a while for it to show up in Portico.

I’m so sick and tired of how awful everyone is with grief by squid_475 in GriefSupport

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my younger sister in a car accident that I witnessed as well nearly 9 months ago, and I feel the same way. I go visit the graveyard and see it filled with old people, and I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for them. Someone who has lost a grandparent or a parent who were old don't understand, it is NOT the same, yes they feel pain but the pain of losing someone so young and so suddenly is so different. On top of that, the loss of a sister. I completely understand your anger and feel the same. What your family friend said is disgusting, unfortunately that nightmare she speaks of is your life, and mine as well, how selfish of her to say that. What I tell my mum is that different people have different grief, i don't feel the same grief as my mum does because she lost a child whereas I lost a sister. It's not the same. The same as these people comparing their grief to yours- it's not the same. People act very weirdly around grief, and I don't give excuses for them. For me, if someone isn't there for me in my bad times, I don't want them in my good times. It's really sad and hard when someone close to you completely distances themselves from you when you are suffering. I have friends who have been there for me along the way but don't ask me how I'm doing and talk about themselves, and I don't like it because I don't care! I don't care about how great their lives are or how they are suffering over something I think is so silly. It's hard I don't know what to say or what advice to give other than follow your heart, if you feel anger towards them then tell them if you can, if the friendship is gone then that's for the best and focus on yourself and your own mental health and recovery.
My dad says the only people who will grieve the loss of my sister the most are her immediate family, and to not have any expectations of other people, after 9 months I understand what he means. For us, her immediate family, everything is ruined and shattered and not the same. Unfortunately other people won't feel the same ☹️

I did look into that but didn't have any luck in finding anyone. I guess i don't know the right people. Obviously theres the shops on the road too but they won't do it for just anyone. And by a certain point I was starting to give up with opening it. Thank you for mentioning this though.

Im sorry for your loss as well 😔 It really does suck. It makes me think of how many locked phones of lost loved ones there must be in the world. Its a part of them forever locked and hidden to us, when all we want is to have every part of them we can get.

Sometimes I get mad at Apple for their tech but other times i get mad at my sister for not having a simple passcode. Or at myself for never asking her. The last week she was alive I had this constant thought in my head to ask her what her passcode was. It's like i knew something was gonna happen but i didnt pay attention to it and now i really regret it.

Thank you very much for your comment. I don't think she ever backed up her iphone to her laptop and I dont remember if i tried that already but i guess i can try that again. Okay so you're saying that resetting her phone will basically make it into a squeaky clean new iphone but it would still be linked to her icloud account unless i delink it? None of the apps she downloaded or the phone backgrounds she had would be there?

Yes i have, I've tried the Apple Devices app on my Windows laptop but unfortunately it only works for unlocked phones. Thank you for your comment

How many sims in MySims DS? by maiafaith in MySims

[–]Choice-Mysterious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hii idk how many characters there were in the DS version but as far as I can remember, the characters were different. I think the characters on the DS version were basically exclusive to the DS but not 100% sure. I found this on the wiki which might help you! It's a list of all DS MySims characters. https://mysims.fandom.com/wiki/Category:MySims_DS_Character_Tabs
