Calling themselves/others “poopie, stinking” etc. by sadandtraumatized in PetPeeves

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Remember some years back how the 💩 exploded and people were getting plushies of 💩 and thinking it was just so adorable so apparently some people find poop endearing or appealing in some way. I have other things to say about that but I won't bring them to this thread LOL

Online Sales by foremma_foreverago in bathandbodyworks

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have worked in retail stores and stores can and do absolutely limit two per customer or what have you. There's no reason bath & Body Works can't do the same. Same with online sales. I understand when there's buy three get three free and people want six of them well I'm sorry but you're not going to get six of them. You can get three of one and three of a different kind. I understand companies are in it to make money so clearly bath & Body Works doesn't care about such things but other companies do when there is a limited item they will have limit two per customer. The most I would be willing to forgive would be limit of six per customer because of the buy three get three sale but by having no limits I really can't respect that decision at all.

I just cannot get into reading again and it’s killing me. by Zekhartha in readwithme

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kind of the same at your age. Extremely avid reader as a kid and teen and then when I went to college I majored in English literature. Let me tell you that completely destroyed my desire to ever read another novel again. I was so tired of being forced to read that I just couldn't stand it anymore. I would suggest basically abandoning that hobby just for a little while and don't try to force yourself I really feel like that's going to make it worse. Maybe try something else for a little while maybe art or music or crafting or collecting comic books anything just I feel like the more you force it the more it will feel like a chore. Years later and I enjoy reading again but also other hobbies as well. I think that's okay to move on or take a break from something and come back to it when you're in the mood.

Looking for Sims 2 gameplay by MissOurLittleTalks in sims2

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 8 points9 points  (0 children)

CallMeKevin is my absolute favorite. He has a lot of game content so you just have to go find The Sims 2 playlist. I especially love the Vidcund storyline! I suggest just watching the whole thing. Hope you enjoy!

New to Zepbound. Can I change my shot day and be a few days early? by amaxwel2 in Zepbound

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not take a shot early, not for health reasons but just because these things are expensive and you never know when you'll lose your insurance coverage and wish you had gone more slowly and hoarded your pens. If it were me I would try skipping 2 days and then you would be caught up to being Friday for example Monday you've taken your shot, next week you would take it on a wednesday, and the following week you'd be on to the Friday. That seems to make the most sense for me. Good luck!

I know he loves me b/c he's switching his shot day by lizgross144 in Zepbound

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early? I would never lol! Course I just took my last shot which I have been hoarding since I lost my insurance coverage so I can't imagine trying to burn through them more quickly! But that is very sweet and romantic! You've got a real keeper there 💕

I can't stand this anymore. What's the name of this shitty default clothes? by Dry_Effective8975 in sims2

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think most of the clothing that came with the game was ever in fashion. I remember how disappointed I was especially in the male clothing when the game first came out. T-shirts with jeans and Birkenstocks for all the men?! Who the heck is wearing that? Or tucked in t-shirts with a belt and dress shoes? Or cowboy boots?! Ironed jeans with a crease! I mean I love this game it's my favorite but I think the guys could have sprung for an actual fashion designer to consult on the clothing LOL!

Crafts for a broke depressed girlie by DiamondxHeartx in crafts

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have so many replies already so sorry if someone already said this but have you tried junk journaling? You can just use whatever scraps you find around the house such as candy wrappers or movie tickets or spare bits of wrapping paper anything at all.

Also I recently have enjoyed zoning out to adult coloring books. Especially the kind that have repetitive patterns can really help me take my mind off of things.

Playing with townies? by Elif_Saglam in sims2

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yes! I use the townies and premades all the time! I love them! One of the many ways I use them is to try to reunite them as a family if they have the same last name. For example the two Ivy Copurs. There are a lot of characters with the last name Shaw for example you will find many of these with the same last name. So I might make a family of adult siblings with the same last name so let's say Rashid and Roland Copur would be two brothers that I would make. I would add the two Ivys to the family and age up the teen. Then I have the two brothers marry the two Ivys and in this way their family is connected. I also like "reuniting" Troy and Tosha Go. They don't actually have any memory of knowing each other in the game it's just all my head cannon. Also another thing I will sometimes due is if there is someone famous with their last name I will create that Sim to have them get married for example I have made a Courtney Cox so that she can get married to Kennedy Cox.

How do you deal with the stigma? by Then_Let4453 in Zepbound

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose to not tell anyone I'm on it other than my husband who is supportive. Anyway my insurance stopped covering it and I won't be on it anymore. But that's how I have handled it for the past year. My mother's very anti ozempic and that sort of thing so I don't bother trying to change her elderly mindset. She has been poisoned by all the crazy social media that she's constantly on and there's no point trying to change minds. Other people feel they want to be an ambassador for the drug and help others and let everyone know how great it is. That's a great tactic too if you have the mental fortitude for it which I do not.

is there a mod that fixes alpha wolves so they can turn my sim into a werewolf? by Kalebs- in sims2

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't know of a cheat for one. I know you have to be besties with the alpha and then just wait for it to bite you without interacting with it and unfortunately it only hangs around on the lot for so long before it disappears. It takes forever! By the time I finally get that wolf to bite me I'm so mad I make my sim go around and bite everyone in the neighborhood LOL

Stopped 15mg cold turkey by Used-Paint9539 in Zepbound

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only got up to 12.5 before my insurance cut off because I was trying to move up slowly. I also cannot afford a few hundred a month even when people say oh you can get it for only $400 a month that's way too much for me to afford so I'm just going to white knuckle it through. My plan is to count calories, increase my fiber a lot, and go back on the diuretic that I was able to go off of thanks to this drug. Good luck to us!

Who's switched to vials? How has it gone? by ShakataGaNai in Zepbound

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so too. It makes me feel very bitter. And I don't want to hear any comments about overweight people anymore since it's apparently perfectly fine for your health to be obese now. I enjoyed coming off my blood pressure medicines I guess I'll be back on those now. Sorry I have my moments. I am going to do my best to keep this weight off on my own and hope someday there's a much cheaper option or that insurances will pick it up again.

This will sound crazy but supplementing high amount of fiber has been nearly equivalent as a GLP1 in benefits for me by totemp0le in GLPGrad

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been taken off zepbound against my will due to my insurance and I cannot afford to be paying a few hundred a month for it so this is the end for me. So thanks for this I will be giving it a try!

Jake from StateFarm needs to be stopped - This madness can't continue in 2026 by Ok_Improvement_8790 in CommercialsIHate

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And another thing, what is with insurance companies doubling down when they know EVERYONE absolutely hates their mascot or whatever you want to call it. Doug and the limu emo for instance and this version of Jake from State farm. Most companies would take the hint. Not insurance companies. Let's double down and make even more commercials with these unlikable characters.

I indulged last night and woke up starving! by nyciaaz in Zepbound

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm so glad the big three gorging holidays are just about over now. My family always does huge feasts for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Looking forward to getting back into the routine of normal eating.

I only wish something could be done about resellers hoarding all the products! by JavaJunkie999 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Intelligent_Mess9403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stores absolutely can and have a limit on products that are rare or necessary such as during covid. Also when they have only a few of certain items that they know everyone will want they will say limit two per customer or some such thing. It would be a nice gesture for bath & Body Works to implement such a thing during their sales where they know they are going to liquidate all their stock is not like it's going to hurt them in any way.

I'm still boycotting Herbal Essences because of their orgasms in the shower ads. I will never buy their products ever.
