For those of you not aware of what is going on on my end ..... since I think only a few of you are friends with me on Facebook.
I am sorry I have been MIA again - I am in the hospital with Shortie. She woke me up in the middle of the night on November 10th saying she could not breath - I checked her fever and breathing and it sounded bad. So I rushed her to the ER. Turns out she has a bad case of pneumonia and needs lots of IV Antibiotics and is getting breathing treatments around the clock. I am exhausted and I have the fun of sleeping on a cot for god knows how long. I have nasty messages from people who have been trying to get a hold of me (none of you guys) and I am truly sorry .... Life sucks some times and my baby girl comes first. I do have limited internet here but it is has been on my Kindle and a pain in the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 to type on; my wonderful husband did bring us goodies like my laptop but all of my work has been on my desktop computer at home. I have been reinstalling Sims since I got here to finish up a few things and hubby has been doing some file transfers from me for home so I can get my notes stories and such. I am working to get my first gift posted for my buddy as I type this but please bare with me ... real life hates me sometimes. I will be sure to have my buddies goodies up by the 20th and hoping to have gift 1 up later tonight.
To my buddy @MiaSkywalker I have only just barely peeked into my gift thread but what I seen made me tear up! I can not believe you requested me! The houses posted so far as amazing! I love them .... I will post more detailed comments soon I swear! Everyone hang tight I am trying!
Dear Skymyst.
I am really sorry that your baby has gotten so ill. And you don't have to apologize to anyone, our real lives, children and families always comes first, everyone here understands that. Take the time you need to care for your babygirl, I'm sure your buddy can wait and will happily do so, as long as your baby gets better fast!
The kitties and I are sending thoughts and prayers your way - and I'm crossing my fingers for a speedy recovery for your little one.
Hi Ciane! As you can tell by now you're my buddy for this exchange. I'm so excited about that! Yesterday didn't go as I had planned, but luckily I was able to upload your first gift tonight. It's the first chapter of a story I wrote for you about two Sims: Eric and Leona May. Each chapter of my story will include another gift as well. I hope you'll enjoy it
oh you KNOW I'm LOVING the story! Such a beautiful park and sims! Thank you @Martje89. I am so happy right now. I can't wait to see this park in my game.
Thank you all! She is doing better but it is a slow process. She had some REALLY bad stuff happen to her when she was younger - which I won't go into on a game forum .... trust me you all do not want to know! Let's just say it was really bad and she is still very scared and because of that I refuse to go home even though the staff has told me she will be ok if I wish to leave and get some air. So I am working with what I have.
But, enough about that .......
@DolphineQ - I am your buddy, so you can guess how sweet your words of understanding were to hear! I have started a gift thread for you here ......
To give you a better understanding of your gifts ..... The short version is there are 3 main households Household #2 is your main household gift. Household #1 is the parents of one of them in Household #2 and Household #3 which you are meeting now is the parent of the second one in household #2. I thought it might be neat to have the "family" members in your world.
After doing some research I seen you liked to do big legacies and such so that is the direction I wanted to go in. I also read you did not want Sims to have skills, since you wanted to do that, so I tried to focus on looks and stories for you to work off of while you played.
The bloody exchange does not want to log me in to upload so going to try some reboots and such and see if I can find a work around.
Just posting this question here because I can't find anything about it online and it really freaked me out O.O So, I happened to scroll back up on the gifting thread I made and did a double-take because of the images on the first chapter of the story I posted was definitely NOT the image I had embedded using the code; it was an image I have never even seen before.
I logged into my tinypic account and tried reposting the code thinking I had somehow typed something extra and wrong which made someone else's image show up, but it was still the same strange new image (and by strange, I literally have no idea what I was looking at but it didn't look very nice!) It's also REALLY odd because I looked over that entire post last night before I went to bed and it was the correct pic, so it somehow changed over night. In the end I can't seem to use the pic it used to be (even though it worked just fine before ) so deleted it from the story.
Now I'm kind of freaking out that all of the images I've used on tinypic will do the same thing...
Have any of you heard of this happening with tinypic? I've never had a problem before but am thinking I should find another site to upload images because I would feel terrible if something really dodgy got posted without my knowledge
@XxHannelorexX - if that happened to me, I would use another image site as I would assume that my account or the site's was hacked. You can try changing passwords there and that might be enough.

That same thing happened in the last exchange. I think cmbaker can help you out with it. Her pictures got switched in the gift thread to me. It sort of freaked me out too.
@Skymyst: I am SO SORRY about your little girl! I almost cried, reading what you wrote about her. The poor little girl! I can't even imagine what she has gone through, but I hope she gets better soon.
I'll be posting your gifts a few every day. I don't want to overwhelm poor ADWilson with having to custard check all of them at once. You just take a look at them as you have time, and don't do more than you can handle.
