I'm feeling very sad this morning. Friday the 20th of October marks the anniversary since me and my boyfriend officially began dating This year would have been mine and George's third dating year
I want to do something special as it will be the first time without George, but I don't know what to do. Flowers aren't enough, I want to do something he would have loved but I'm not sure what to do Problem is it's upsetting me thinking about it
Keep your thoughts with me please
Many hugs to everyone
Oh Emma *big hugs* Whatever you choose to do, take care of yourself. I don't really want to give advice because I've never been in your situation and don't want to give bad advice, but I hope you manage to work out something to remember him without upsetting yourself too much
@SunshineEmma it is sometimes difficult to come up with solutions to a problem. I like Rosemow's idea if you haven't come up with a better one. sending hugs and prayers your way.
@rosemow@samemie and @luvdasims55 Thank you all for your lovely comments It means so much and I'm so pleased I am able to talk to you about it It really helps so thank you all.
When we first met me and George used to go out to a lake, there was a grass side, a beautiful bridge that went over the lake and loads of flowers We both loved it there
I'm still thinking about it but I think I'll go there as it's a happy place for me, and I know George loved it too
Thanks for the support everyone Hugs to everyone
Hello @SunshineEmma
The lake, flowers and bridge sounds such a lovely place! It would be very special for you to go there.
Thankyou for the hugs I send hugs back to you .
Your mom probably shouldn't be making anything right now if she is not feeling well, it could spread whatever she has to a lot of people. I understand that you're worried but I'm sure she has a plan and has everything under control. Being a mom of 4 I totally understand how your mom is feeling and it's not fun being sick still and having a whole list of things that you need to get done. The best thing for you to do now is to make sure she can get well. See if she needs any other things done that you can do besides the baking that would free up some of her time. I'm sure there are lots of things around the house that you are great at that can be of help to her.
I know you don't think that she has time to get well but she is going to have to make time, otherwise she is going to be sick for a lot longer and the baking will not get done at all. Try to take some time and relax, your mom isn't going to let you or anyone else down.
Doesn't anyone understand? She doesn't have TIME to get better the bazaar is NEXT SATURDAY. The GOODS have to be delivered by either ThursdayBEFORE the bazaar OR at the latest right 8am on Bazaar day and she hasn't even STARTED yet.. not even so much as a CAKE. It doesn't help that she's been called in for the last couple of weeks either.
Literally the ONLY thing she does all day after getting home is sitting on her behind and reading or napping in the family room and that even AFTER supper. She didn't even make supper tonight and she still read/napped today. So she had plenty of free time the last week to do some baking but she hasn't done anything
OK, wow. I was trying to be kind and offer support. As well as put your mind at ease and give some kind of understanding to what your mom may be feeling. Since this is a support forum I will show myself out of this topic. Best of luck to your mom, I hope everything works out for her.

I'm so sorry, this breaks my heart for. I know whatever you decide to do George will love it.
I have never lost a significant other but I have lost 2 brothers and a sister. Each time a birthday or some kind of special date rolls around it's so bitter sweet. It's awesome to remember all the amazing times you had together but so extremely heartbreaking at the same time. I hope the day is super special for you and you get to connect with George in your heart. Sending you lots of love.
and to other mates going through difficult times as well, i'm v. sorry i haven't been around to send out an ocean of good vibes as i like to; i feel like i can't give my 100% when feeling 🐸🐸🐸🐸. i hope everyone is doing okay/better.
Tomorrow I'm getting a new doctor after about 3-4 years of having no "family" doctor. But since Mom is booked tomorrow it means Dad will have to be there and from my experiences with him being at my other (specialist) doctor in T__________ -I'm concerned that Dad will embarrassed me somehow with the new nice black woman doctor (Mom will have the same one). The one time I told him not to say a word about *anything* to my specialist doctor's then-resident (she's gone now) and he harassed me. Or this year he insisted I tell them I'm trying to go to bed early..(i did but it wasn't true).

Hello @MadameLee
It is good that you are now getting a new family doctor and will be seeing her tomorrow. I hope that the appointment goes as smoothly as possible. The first appointment with her will involve her getting to know your health details and the state of your overall physical and mental health. From then on, she will then be able to monitor your health situation and help you with any health issues that arise .
I will thinking of you tomorrow

But that doesn't solve the "dad" issue..I told Mom when she speaks to Dad about our income amount, that she needs to make it clear, that he's going to be allowed in the room with me but he isn't suppose to harass me before hand OR say anything to my doctor during the appointment that embarrasses me (sleeping habits OR blood sugar levels). I AM over legal adult age and can speak for myself-I researched my own medicence recently just to see if I could understand how it works-since no doctor ever explained them to me.

Your mother would have listened to what you said to her, and would have talked it over with your Dad. You would have explained to her that you can speak for yourself to the doctor, and she would have explained that to your Dad. He will now respect your wishes that he remain silent and not embarrass you. It isn’t now an issue, because he now understands your feelings and what you don’t want him to do.

I don't think you need to worry about your dad until he actually does embarrass you (of course, if that even happens). As the saying goes: 'cross that bridge when you get to it!' Maybe when you see the doctor it could be worth asking her to explain things directly to you, it might be that no one explained stuff to you before because they didn't think you wanted to know and would be happy to explain if you asked.
@fewlines I hope you're feeling better, or at least feel better soon if not
Also, I want to just mention something going on in my own life quickly in case anyone has any advice... it's the stupidest problem in the world but yeah, I have a spider problem in my room I think and it's keeping me from sleeping when I want to and frankly just upsetting me... I can't know for sure but I'm scared I have a nest in my wall or ceiling or something. So I spent hours last week putting sellotape around cracks in my wallpaper and stuff (dumb I know but I did it anyway) and I've been spraying basically everywhere with a water and tea tree oil solution which I read repels them... I don't know if it's working or not, I'm still getting spiders even though it's not 10 at a time, and I'm conscious that I can't spray my room forever because eventually it's going to cause mould (well, worse mould than there already is) and get into the electrics and stuff.
So that was a really long pointless ramble... long story short/TL;DR: does anyone know of any repellent, natural or otherwise, that works? I don't think it's fair to kill them just because I don't like them, that's not their fault after all, but I'm starting to get desperate.

Hello @samemie
I am sorry that you have spiders in your room Spiders are scary! It may be best to buy a spider repellant from a store. There may be natural spray repellents that you can buy, There would be information labels on the spray cans. You could also try having someone else where you live go to the area of the room where you are finding the spiders are coming from and see if they can find the source of the spiders
I send hugs to you as you cope with your spider issue

Thanks. As I mentioned before I'm using tea tree oil right now but unsure if it works, I can't really find any credible sources online that say for certain either way. It's also difficult because I believe spiders taste with their feet or something? So the aroma itself isn't enough I kind of need to know where they're coming from. As for getting someone to investigate it, my dad is going to strip my wallpaper at some point but I don't know when because he's busy. My room was going to be decorated anyway I just hope it might get done a bit quicker. My mum's also going to help me unpack my cardboard boxes (I still haven't unpacked from moving house in March) which should give them less places to hide and hopefully turf out a few. I feel like I'm doing a lot to deal with it already I was just sort of wondering if there was anything else obvious I could do, or if anyone knew for sure if tea tree worked or if something else could work better But it's okay, it's a stupid non-issue really I'm just being a baby :P I'll give you your thread back now ~

It is an important issue! @samemie Spiders are scary and they are causing you to feel upset and stressed. It is preventing you from getting the sleep that you need, so that isn’t good at all!

as for spiders (scary) i have also read you can make a repellent using a few drops of strong-smelling oils; like you said, tea tree oil, but also eucalyptus, citrus, peppermint or cinnamon. i don't know if it works either as i have not made it myself yet. but it can't hurt. you're supposed to mix that into a spray bottle with a teaspoon of dish soap and a little water and spray around cracks, windowsills, skirting boards, etc.
you can also try vinegar and water. i have tried this (i used white vinegar so i was sure it would not stain anything) and it might have been my imagination or just luck, but i did see less spiders. i used one part vinegar for every 2 parts water. maybe it will help some until you have time to get to the actual investigation.
@fewlines hope you are feeling better today. sending lots of hugs.
@samemie i don't like spiders either. no idea about repellents, i bomb my house every few years to keep the population down. hope you are able to get some sleep and find a solution to your problem soon. hugs to you.
Hello everyone. Thank you all for the kind words and the support, I appreciate it very much As some of you know today would have been mine and George's third year anniversary of officially dating. You were all very kind and I thank you all for your suggestions on what to do to make today special !
I eventually decided to go to a park which George and I loved the park has a lake, a bridge and beautiful flowers which make it even more beautiful
I spent a couple of hours by the lake, I like to think George was there in a way and I also spoke with my baby, telling him or her about their dad and about me... it was lovely, I'm really pleased I went there and I know George would have loved it!
I would have stayed longer but I have a cold and really can't let it get any worse so I came home.
Thank you everyone for your kindness and support Sending to all hugs xx
Hello @SunshineEmma
I send hugs to you It sounds like a very special and lovely time that you had at the park and lake, remembering George and talking to your precious little baby who will soon be born. The setting sounds so very nice
I hope that you feel better from your cold very soon .

You would have explained to her that you can speak for yourself to the doctor, and she would have explained that to your Dad. He will now respect your wishes that he remain silent and not embarrass you. It isn’t now an issue, because he now understands your feelings and what you don’t want him to do.

I don't think you need to worry about your dad until he actually does embarrass you (of course, if that even happens). As the saying goes: 'cross that bridge when you get to it!' Maybe when you see the doctor it could be worth asking her to explain things directly to you, it might be that no one explained stuff to you before because they didn't think you wanted to know and would be happy to explain if you asked.
@fewlines I hope you're feeling better, or at least feel better soon if not
So that was a really long pointless ramble... long story short/TL;DR: does anyone know of any repellent, natural or otherwise, that works? I don't think it's fair to kill them just because I don't like them, that's not their fault after all, but I'm starting to get desperate.
Hello @samemie
I am sorry that you have spiders in your room
I send hugs to you as you cope with your spider issue

Thanks. As I mentioned before I'm using tea tree oil right now but unsure if it works, I can't really find any credible sources online that say for certain either way. It's also difficult because I believe spiders taste with their feet or something? So the aroma itself isn't enough I kind of need to know where they're coming from. As for getting someone to investigate it, my dad is going to strip my wallpaper at some point but I don't know when because he's busy. My room was going to be decorated anyway I just hope it might get done a bit quicker. My mum's also going to help me unpack my cardboard boxes (I still haven't unpacked from moving house in March) which should give them less places to hide and hopefully turf out a few. I feel like I'm doing a lot to deal with it already I was just sort of wondering if there was anything else obvious I could do, or if anyone knew for sure if tea tree worked or if something else could work better
It is an important issue! @samemie Spiders are scary and they are causing you to feel upset and stressed. It is preventing you from getting the sleep that you need, so that isn’t good at all! It is good that you have posted about it here, so that other simmers may have suggestions to get rid of them. I am sorry that I don’t have any other suggestions . There may be other simmers who have found ways that they were able to get rid of them.

That's okay. Sorry I was just being kind of emotional (probably because I'm tired haha). I think I calmed down now anyway so I'll probably try and get to sleep in a bit. Thank you
I hope that you can get some restful sleep now

as for spiders (scary) i have also read you can make a repellent using a few drops of strong-smelling oils; like you said, tea tree oil, but also eucalyptus, citrus, peppermint or cinnamon. i don't know if it works either as i have not made it myself yet. but it can't hurt. you're supposed to mix that into a spray bottle with a teaspoon of dish soap and a little water and spray around cracks, windowsills, skirting boards, etc.
you can also try vinegar and water. i have tried this (i used white vinegar so i was sure it would not stain anything) and it might have been my imagination or just luck, but i did see less spiders. i used one part vinegar for every 2 parts water. maybe it will help some until you have time to get to the actual investigation.
@samemie i don't like spiders either. no idea about repellents, i bomb my house every few years to keep the population down. hope you are able to get some sleep and find a solution to your problem soon. hugs to you.
Hello @SunshineEmma
I send hugs to you
I hope that you feel better from your cold very soon .
