Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes. We finally heard from the doctor. The swelling has gone down a lot, so it's certain now that it's the result of a stroke and not a tumor. This is the best we could have hoped for. Her memory is still very impaired, and part of her face is still numb, but they're referring her to a neurologist to help her cope with that.
I'm incredibly worn out, and might be getting sick, but it's a big relief. I'll be driving home tomorrow, so I'll be back in a few days after the dust has settled.
I'm looking forward to having time to play again, now that I own the store!
@Ktarian Congrats on owning the store! And so glad your mom's outcome turned out for the best. Be safe on your drive home. Lotsa coffee and loud music.
@Ktarian - Glad your mom got the 'better' news ( since neither one is really good news ). Hoping she makes a full recovery .
Hope whatever you're feeling is just the results of the stress and that you stay healthy. It's hard to Sim when you're sick

@wittanthony1 Happy Birthday....err 2 days late I do hope it was a great one!
@Ktarian I'm sorry to hear about your mother and hope y'all get some info soon. I think it is so much easier to deal with things when you know what is going on. It is that black hole of uncertainty that is hard to deal with and makes us go nuts! I know that is how it was when hubby was in hospital. I'm glad you are able to be with your mother. That is a big help to her.
Congrats on joining the club!
Thank you @despina53 for wishing me a happy birthday. You're the first I notice to have wished me a happy birthday on this thread.
@wittanthony1 - Happy Belated Birthday. I hope it was great. @despina53, Dee, is always wonderful in how she recognizes special occasions and achievements of ours.
@hayley-Belle - Welcome. Looking forward to being a part of your journey towards owning the store. Yay for @ZeeGee for bringing a fellow simaholic, soon to be DDaholic, to our home. Since you are new to this thread, I value any feedback you can give on the set up of this thread and the information provided.
Thank you everybody for wishing me Happy Birthday. I had an okay birthday. Had an birthday dinner out with my family at Cheddar's.
Store owner since 4/11/15.
I hope everybody has a wonderful day. Aka: Jennifer
@Me1620 not sure if it will work for you, but a while back I started a post on my phone then moved to my computer to add the links and when I posted it from the computer it went to the land of pending approval. I was so mad. But when I went to my phone I had left the comment box open and it was my complete post! I hit post and it posted just fine from my phone I've done that a couple of times now just to be sure I don't lose my posts anymore. Might be worth a try
Hmm. Sounds like this could be a browser issue. I am using Chrome. The website looks fine on my desktop but when I view the website on my laptop using Chrome, it is a jumbled mess.

a.k.a. Samantha (though Sam is just fine, too. Also, Simmantha, according to my husband.)
Thanks to a lot of amazing sim friends I have owned the store for a while now. If you'd like to help out a really good friend of mine who just started playing the game, here is his wishlist. Thanks!
I am finally getting around to reinstalling all of my store content according to Ciane's instructions. Wow...what a process. Takes time, but is worth it. Hopefully it will fix the problem and guarantee everything shows up in my game!

Hi again, it’s me...I am having trouble posting from my ipad and only a small fraction of my posts seem to appear. I also have the added problem of being from the UK so on a different time zone and because its xmas my husband and I (I sound like the queen) have been spending time together....whether we want to or not ha ha.
I have been trying to do a huge thank you to everyone who has been so kind and have sent me gifts from my wish list, its wonderful. What with the gifts and the daily deal I am on my way to furnishing my town. I am really hoping this works this time but I’ve written it in pages so that I can copy and paste it if it gets lost again. I did thank everyone on the sims page but I understand now that its not the best place to do it. I’m starting to panic in case you all think I am ungrateful. Thank goodness that I have @ZeeGee to steer me on the right course. she even had to tell me it was @ not a hashtag (my laptop has hidden the hashtag key!!) when I old her I couldn’t tag anyone!!! So here goes....4th time lucky. Thank you @frozenorangejuic @despina53 @bekkasan @anjeless26 (doesn't come up as a tag) @Me1620 @Franny and wow wow @rionismyname, seriously so generous, thank you and to @Ktarian who started all this with Zee lol
The daily deal section is amazing, last night I sat up until 3.30 am to get the Serenity Retreat at 52% , my Pinky~Belle deserves pampering especially if Devin is going to appear in my town....but we wont mention him!!! I am now busy “watching” loads of videos to earn sim points to take advantage of the daily deals I have the Broadwalk venue on my hit list and I understand it will be coming up soon, luckily I can knit, watch tv while the videos run!!!
So please please let this post ok or I might cry lol
Just a sim-ple pink person
Thank you to everyone who contributed to helping me own the store X

Lol, the first of many late nights and early mornings to get daily deals!
@Hayley~Belle is getting a little overwhelmed trying to post on the forum. Part of her posts are disappearing, which happens on iPad sometimes. So she switched to her MacBook. I'm wondering if because it's Apple it can make part of posts disappear too? I have no experience with Apple puters. Anyway she's taking a break so she can come back with a clear head and wants everyone to know she's not some mad Brit. I've assured her there are many mad Brits (and probably even more mad Americans) on this forum, which is what makes it so much fun.
@Me1620 Jodi, I think I neglected to say awesome job getting this new thread organized.
@Hayley~Belle See Dee's post above. It's hard to tag you for some reason, I think cause of the little squiggly thing in the middle. (Yes, that's the official name, little squiggly thing).
Thank you so much @Franny and @Reachsims thanks to you both I have the animals abound cascade and can go on the successful list yayyyyy! Thank you @ZeeGee for my two outfits you sent today.

To help us celebrate the holidays, here is a link to a special holiday video created by @Wallin starring DD members - some of whom you may recognize Wallins Sims 3 Holiday Dance Video
If go to his Youtube home page, he reposted the original in parts.
Ahh Jodi, thank you for reposting that. David was such a creative and enthusiastic member of our little community. Sad to see that he appears to have left The Sims behind but I'm sure he's moved on to other even more exciting projects.
It must be really frustrating to have to fight the forum to get your updates posted - I hope a solution can be found soon.
Waves...tiny voice...Hello everyone, my name is Hayley~Belle and I'm a simaholic.
I only set my game up last night so its all very new and different to sfp and 4 so I hope I don't ask too many silly questions.
I'm really looking forward to making new friends and sharing simming experiences. x
I also wanted to let everyone know, thanks to so many people, I now 'own the store'. No more wishlist for me! The Make Me an Offer machine was impressed! This thread and those who help maintain it and spread the word about it definitely helped me complete my collection, along with many generous gifters.
Great news! And you're so right about the help from the good folk of the DD thread and the generous gifting that is such a part of the Sims 3 community - the Store forums are full of wonderful people.
So sorry to hear about your mother, hopefully now that she is getting better and you have a diagnosis a good recovery will soon be underway. My thoughts are with you both.
In celebration of my YouTube channel reaching 100 subscribers I am having a lottery! I am giving away one gold world or 3,524 simpoints worth of stuff if the winner already has all the worlds. Anyone and everyone is welcome to enter, you don't have to be a subscriber, but subscribers do get a second bonus entry.
Oh and @Ktarian I kept meaning to say congrats on owning the store but I keep forgetting! So congrats. Sorry to hear about your mother, but I'm glad she got the better of the two diagnoses.
@hayley~belle you're welcome for the gift. I occationly have issues with posting from my iPad. It seems to be if I put an emotioncon in the middle of a post, but only if I click on them from the emotioncon keyboard section.
As of April 24th 2015 I joined the own the store club. Thank you to those who helped in my journey. DD spreadsheet

Hi @Hayley~Belle, welcome
It's great to see you here and it seems @ZeeGee has advised you well, and you are really getting into the swing of things!
Some of the problems you have posting might be because you are still a 'new member' - but that won't be the case for long!
