Hello everyone and the lovely host and sponsors!! I am so happy to be part of this lottery,thank you again!
My happy memory is the one that i haven't share for many many years.It is really small maybe for most people it will sound so small but when i was at school(i was 12 years old) on my birthday everyone has forgetten it,my best friends included and i as really sentimental kid so it hurt me really deeply. at my lunch break i was really sad that i escaped behind school,unseen corner to cry.Somehow my math teacher noticed me there and take me to teachers room and give me a candy to cheer me up and asked what was my problem.It really really made me happy,when i tell her my problem,she didn't laught at me or sent me away but she celebrated my birthday and kiss my cheeks and as present,she gifted me her scarf! I am really greatful for her!
It was very thoughtful and caring of your teacher to see you and take the time to find out why you were crying. It would have made you feel so much better knowing that someone cared. It was very lovely that she gave you her scarf. Both the scarf itself and the thoughtfulness behind it would have made you feel very warm inside.
Appreciate this lotto giving opp to say thank you to others.
I'm a senior now, and have received many, many, blessings in my life thus far. However nothing floored me as much as the outpouring of love I experienced from the Simmer community in 2010 when I posted that there had been sudden death in our family.
Re:What's your reason for playing the Sims? , posted on General Discussion (EN), at 11/30/12 11:04 PM, by MissCee
jbreland1230 I agree with both of your posts; re simming takes me out of my world, and at times is a relief valve for anger.
I stopped Simming for fun and began using Sims to distract me from RL problems in 2010.
My experience was using Simming to enable me to distance from thinking about pain of loss after my eldest son committed suicide.
After a family fight our son neither wrote or called home for over a year. My husband and I had no idea where he was. We couldn't find him. Then one night a police officer showed up at our front door while we were watching a movie.
I can't even remember what it was we were watching to this day. We then found out he had been living in another state and for a while was homeless, and now, by his own hand he was dead.
After traveling out of state, dealing with another state's requirements regarding a death not by natural causes, coroners, police red tape, county jurisdictions, having to clean up the suicide aftermath ourselves , packing his belongings, making funeral arrangements, and on and on and on, frankly I didn't want to have to think anymore.
I didn't want to feel. Every breath hurt. There were too many memories, and so much pain in the recalling his first words, his first steps, his last words, and his lost life.
So from the awfulness September 2010, when RL and/or memories becomes burdensome I do what I have to do to handle the problem, and then to de-stress, I go Simming.
The Sims3 game, Blogging on My Page for the 1st year, and the outpouring of kindness from the Simmers on this Forum helped keep me sane during months of sleepless nights and tearful empty days.
Sims is addictive, but not the way other stuff such as drinking, smoking, or using drugs to manage life's pains would be.
Simming daily was like a balm; a respite. It was the only time of absolutely no pressure to my hurting heart.
The condolences, encouragements, blog comments, and gifts kept coming for weeks. Along with the loss, I think it is the manner of the loss that still hurts most, some days the wound feels new, but Simmers have looooong memories.
From time to time I'll get a post that says someone is still thinking of me, wishing us continued healing, still praying for us; and it helps me to pick myself up, dust myself off, and grab onto living again.
Simmers are a phenomenal community!
Haven't heard from louise640101 in awhile. She doesn't have wishlist, but I send my love.

I am so glad everyone was able to support you. I wasn't around at that time. I am sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm really thankful for Katy Perry.. I know it may seem silly, but she means a lot to me. In 2011, I started going through a bad time. I felt really sad, and lonely. I had basically no friends, and I didn't see the point in even trying anymore. By that time Katy Perry had launched her song " I kissed a girl ". One day after school I came home, and decided to look through her old songs. I related so much to them, and they cheered me up a lot. She's my best friend that I've never met. All her songs are written about things she has gone through in real life, and I guess that's what makes them really easy to relate to. She made me happy, and still does. Don't know where I would be now without her. She taught me to keep going, and to grow up, but not give up. Everything would be different without her, and I'm eternally grateful for her.
This is such a touching lottery! Thank you so much for hosting.
I'm thankful for the friends I've met on this website. I know we're all semi-anonymous to each other, but I'm glad to have all of you because it makes me happy to know I can come on this website and make mischief with you all or just simply talk with some of you when I'm feeling blue. Regrettably, my everyday life makes it difficult for me to talk with even my real-life friends, so coming back to this site and being able to talk to all of you makes me feel happy. I love how I can come here and my mood will instantly be lifted because I'm surrounded by all you crazy, amazing people. Thank you so much for being here for me and giving me reasons to smile; I wish you all happy holidays and a lovely year to come

Your thankful message is very special. Simming friends are so very special! They encourage us, support us, share our happy times and make us laugh. Happy holidays to you too!
My most thankful memories are of when people give gifts for no reason at all. I know the holidays is when everyone is expected to give gifts, but when someone gives me something thoughtful out of the blue, that's when I appreciate it the most. The past few months, I've been trying to get in shape and doing workouts using two full bottles of rubbing alcohol as weights. And then one day, my boyfriend comes home with a set of handweights for me even though I never asked him for them. :O The random gift always catches you by surprise, and that's why it's so great.
This is also why I'm nominating jennytru. She gifted me a small Simpoint item for no reason at all, just for being Simfriends. I was so blown away by her generosity; it was so unexpected.
My fiance and I had been together forever, but he dumped me unexpectedly moments before I was supposed to leave for Chicago for a week for work. A week later, on my return flight, I realized I'd never made arrangements to get home from the airport. I was so used to his picking me up when I got home if public transit had stopped running for the night. I started riffling through my wallet to see if I had enough cash for a cab.
But it turned out to be irrelevant. As soon as I entered baggage claim--at midnight on a Wednesday--I saw five of my friends with a big "WELCOME HOME" and my name written out in glitter! Though I hadn't told a soul that we'd broken up--too stunned and too distracted by work, I guess--he had. And one of our mutual friends asked him what time I was supposed to be getting back from Chicago. And then she rounded up four other people just to greet me and hug me so I wouldn't be alone.
Am I the luckiest or what? How could I not feel thankful for friends like mine.

Unexpected surprise gifts are so very nice and thoughtful. They brighten your day because of their unexpectedness. It was kind of your boyfriend to surprise you by unexpectedly bringing home the handweights.

It is so caring and thoughtful of your friends to greet you at the airport! It is very nice that they would come out at midnight so that you wouldn't be alone. They sound like very special, supportive friends.

Wow! First off let me say that it is great that you are doing this!
Ok, so there are so many thankful things I can tell you about but the time that I am most thankful for is when my husband were first married. We were living in a very small apartment trying to make ends meet when he was laid off from his factory job. He search and search for 3 months for a new job all while the past due bills were piling up. Well my in-laws lived 3 states from us and they offered to pay for our move and for us to live with them until we could secure living & jobs. We are now getting back up on our feet slowly, we have our own house and my husband has a new job. I on the other hand never went back to work but my new job is being a mommy to a beautiful little 1 year old girl.

It was very nice and caring of your inlaws to pay for your move to where they live and for you to live with them. It is great that your husband has now been able to get a job and that you own your own house. I send a big smile and hello to your precious little daughter! May the future ahead contain many, many special times for you and your family.
I am completely brain dead, and I cannot really think, BUT I am takingful for a ton of people, but most recently it would have to be JadeDew and amirandat!
See they held this AMAZING contest to win Midnight Hollow, which I won second place and got Midnight Hollow Gold!
Now you may be thinking "Liz, but why are you super thankful for that?"
Well that is a good question, I am thankful for that contest, because if I didn't enter it, I would have stayed being shy and angsty, lurking in most of the forums and being afraid of the gift giving forum! (I am weird)
Since then, I have made some SUPER AMAZING FRIENDS from this forum, I wouldn't trade them for anything. All of them were there for me when I was alone on my Birthday and are here for me now when my Grandmother is injured! They have literally made me happy cry for all the things my friends here have done for me, and they always make me smile!
So ultimately, all the things and people I am thankful for right now, wouldn't have been possible if JadeDew or amirandat hadn't been so extremely generous!
Not sure why that helped me not be so shy on the forums, but it really did!
I'd like to nominate myself (wishlist) and I need to check and see if there are things I need to do to nominate others!
