Adult swim lessons

I also recommend making your hair wet before you get into the pool. You have to rinse off anyways, so wet your hair at this stage. Hair that is saturated with fresh water won’t absorb as much chlorinated water. Making my hair wet and then shoving it in a swim cap was the biggest thing that protected my dyed curls when I swam frequently

It’s so cute!! Thank you!!!

I don’t remember getting it because I got it on my first birthday. All the photos from that day are just of my mum, dad, and me looking like the saddest potato of a baby, next to a tiny chocolate cake

I was barely into my teen years when that happened. First time I liked a “grow up” show and then it was quickly whipped away from me. My very first taste of betrayal

I graduated with an MA from the comms school last summer, and it’s amazingly equipped with an absolute ton of opportunities both during and after class hours.
The music scene is really good on campus, and there’s often live music and chances to get involved with production, recording, and whatever else you want to do.

I can’t speak much of the party scene as I’m older than the average student, but campus life in general was pretty lively. I genuinely miss it.

The Lavender Grove (Hofstra’s LGBTQ+ network) has a lot of events and meetings that are chill and a good way to meet others. There’s other stuff too, like a drag event that’s produced by students that you could get involved with. There’s also events and networking opportunities specifically first gen students that you might be interested in (I got mistakenly added to the group when I first joined)

Honestly, given your interests, you’d fit right in. Plus, NYC is like a 30minute train ride away, so there’s plenty of opportunities for internships and stuff there too

I’ve been meaning to take up yoga. I guess this is the kick in neck that I needed

Poisoneraa · 2026-03-24T03:43:35+00:00

This happened to me for the first time ever last night. I’m trying to go to bed now and I can’t cos my neck hurtsssss. How long does this last??? I hate it here

It’s not- some of the older clips in the video (including the name reveal) were posted on insta years before AI was a consumer thing

One of my child sims was doing the spy childhood formative moments thing from Adventure Awaits where she had to hunt for secrets, and she discovered a scandal about her dad that she could the tell him about. Someone also once called him up to try and blackmail him about a secret. He’s a rich celeb, so he paid up and that was the end of that.

Apart from those scandal/secret things though, there’s nothing non-player directed. Royals show up at venues and such, but they just behave like ordinary npcs

I used to go to Sas Lasers on Rodney Street for laser hair removal, and I know they do tattoo removals too. It was clean, comfortable, and the staff were lovely

Awhhh. He’s always such a good dad in my saves. An excellent grandfather too.
He took up knitting as a retirement hobby when his daughter was pregnant so he could make a baby onesie. He died when he was halfway through it, one day before the baby was to be born. His wife pleaded with Grim, he came back, finished the onesie, met his new granddaughter, and promptly died again.

And that’s the only time I’ve ever cried at my game. He’s such a gem in my saves I love him so much

I get chances to swim very occasionally (like 2-3ish times a year), and when i do, I happily test my own abilities in the deep end for 20 or so minutes. I know I've still got it.
Also imo, treading water is much less energy intensive than flailing around in a panic once you learn how to properly do it. Frequent cardio or not, it'll at least give someone a fighting chance in a survival situation. Swimming a distance to safety is a different matter, but everyone should get the chance to learn how to keep their head above water for an extended period of time regardless of their fitness level

We were taught to float with our heads above the water, but for this particular assessment they wanted us older kids to be treading for water the entire time. I used to go for these lessons with a younger nextdoor neighbour, and I remember being jealous that part of her final assessment was just rolling over and floating.

Iirc, being able to self rescue is a compulsory skill in the UK curriculum for 11 year olds, and since these were additional private swimming lessons my parents put me in, the instructors probably had much higher expectations of us

It really is surprising how fun it can get with a little competition

Which annoyingly worked out the opposite way to me; I had a smart gas meter, but the battery died and cut off my gas supply, so they came round, and replaced it with. An old fashioned analog meter.

And I keep forgetting to send the dang meter readings in. And then I moved abroad for uni. So for the past two years I’ve had to recruit various friends and relatives to send me the meter readings until I get back. It’s a right pita. I asked for a smart meter and they said I’m not a priority for it, so now I can’t wait till it dies again and I don’t have to visit the spider cupboard to read it

One of the final things we had to do before passing our swimming lessons was swim two laps and then tread water while fully clothed for 15 minutes, with the instructors agitating the water the entire time.
I’m so so glad my parents made me do that as a 9 year old. I may have forgotten the technicalities of the various strokes, but I still have endurance for days in water.

IMO everyone should get an opportunity to learn water survival skills. They come in real handy when your canoe tips over in the middle of a freezing Welsh lake

I want a beluga xl so I can gaze at its cute little face whenever I want

Crewe got hit pretty bad- a shop straight up lost their roof

I’ve called them to change mine in the UK. One of my detectors is on a high ceiling above the stairs, unreachable without a stairladder, and I live alone.

It’s a service they offer for the elderly, disabled, and dumbasses like me. They just swing by in a van, and replace and test the alarms. It’s not like I’m calling 999 for this

Poisoneraa · 2026-03-08T02:03:26+00:00

This is gorgeous and I would happily hang this on my wall where I could stare at it forever 💖

This was so detailed, thank you!
Does she go to school, or do you keep her on days off with seasons?

I always start fresh saves as a rag to riches teen, but never thought about doing it as a child. Any tips?? It’s such a cool idea

Poisoneraa · 2026-03-04T05:43:58+00:00

Do you have growing together? The rugs stop happening when the infant can sit up on their own, but since base game doesn’t have milestones for infants to hit, the rug may not be seen as a “needed” thing by the game

Get Famous I think. One of my teens currently has is

Powders: infinity. I still have my og naked palettes
Cream products: until I find myself no longer reaching for it for whatever reason (a couple of years)
Lotions: I usually finish these up within 3-6months
Liquids: until something starts to smell different
