    @simscognito @MadameLee @Bugsie2016 I show up and you all are talking about candy.... this is not conductive to my diet :lol::tongue:

    Also simscognito if you ever get the chance I highly recommend three muskateers bars. They are delicious :)

    Sorry! :o

    Back when I was in Gr.6 my teacher gave out candy to the class. I wonder if he would still be allowed today (if he's still teaching) since teachers aren't even allowed to touch children these days.

    @Bugsie2016 Aww I want your teacher! Well, if I was still in school, I'd want your teacher! Maybe he/she can come lecture for us. I need more
    chocolate in my diet!
    I put it in a spoiler so @AuroraLockwood won't get tempted! :D

    My co-worker bought me a tea sampler for Christmas, and three of the mixes have cocoa powder in them, so I get chocolate in my tea! :)

    @simscognito No worries. I'm actually getting much better at sticking to it and avoiding the temptation. I've even lost weight :smiley:

    Wahh I feel a sleepy rant incoming.
    I feel like I'm becoming increasingly bad at spoken conversations. I stutter, mumble and swallow consonants more often than ever, and my speech speeds up when I get nervous. Which in turn embarrasses me and further discourages me from chatting. I'm worried about it all the time now, which definitely isn't helping. It's honestly freaking me out. Anyone else have the same issues?

    Oh, always! And the more engaged I get, the more confusing my speech becomes! Fortunately, most people I talk with are really kind and they know that if I get flustered, I'll take a breath and then continue a bit more coherently, so that helps. I find that most people love the opportunity to be patient and to listen with kindness, so I don't mind giving them the chance to practice that when my speaking is less fluent than I'd like! :)

    One technique I use is to stop, breathe, and then say something like, "OK. Take two," and I try again. Or I say, "Ooops! That was awkward! Let me try again!"

    the David's dad (I forget his name I changed it via the simmer's request) was one of the sims @Rainydayz179 'donated' for my legacy (for Hannah to "Date")

    If it was the alien it was Harley. The funny part is I don't even play any of them anymore so the names didn't matter in the end! :D

    @For_Eorzea It's nothing to be worried about. In fact, it happens to me too. :D Just like @CathyTea said, it happens particularly when I have a lot to say and am really engaged in a conversation. It's probably because when you're emotions are heightened, your ability to think clearly in sentences lessons.
    I know it can be frustrating, just remember, you're not losing the ability to speak - you're possibly thinking in more complex ways and feeling deeply about a lot of things. Either way hugs, lots of tea and deep breaths. :blush:

    @sweetnightingale happy birthday! Here's to a wonderful day! :smiley:

    @AuroraLockwood That's awesome news! :)

    Can't say it better than Cathy. :)
    I had a similar issue when I began working at my current desk job. For months I noticed a dyslexic pattern in my hand writing, I made constant spelling errors, most of which ended up being really foolish things like "the" or dates or sometimes my own name! Part of it was because of nerves, and part was because I hadn't written as much by hand since school. Who knew you could forget how to write?

    Hiiii @Rainydayz179 it's nice to see you! Hope all is well. :)

    @MadameLee for a legacy, I would say the heirs and if it's important, their significant others.

    First I need to find that Indian sari I used for Clarissa-I can't have her bare-naked and I don't want to use the CL one..

    Well I guess I can head over to Banna_45's thread.
