Loved the link to the asylum/prison contest @SimLibby reminding me I haven't played that particular challenge in a while and I think I might like to do that!
@smashbridges20 - So good to see you around! Hope is all is well there with you and yours!
I loved that challenge. That at the Pink Ladies. Do you remember the Pink Ladies Motorcycle Club?!!!
In fact, that's why my Avi, Sweet Tee, was created. She was my simself as a Pink Lady ---
Yes, I do remember the Pink Ladies motorcycle club. I drove a pink scooter.
We had so much fun back then with the mobbing and gifting angels every month in addition to the contests. I never left the gifting forums except to go to my page. Now, I rarely leave the building forum.

FEATURED SIMMER:
I'm super easy to find so I won't be the FS at any time.
Since you seem to enjoy the trip down memory lane @ErnesaT, I thought it would be fun to have a scavenger hunt with you. In Holland we would say 'Voor spek en bonen meedoen'. That translates as 'Play for beacon and beans' and that just doesn't sound right. I don't know if the English language has an expression with similar meaning (if it does, maybe you could let me know). 'Voor spek en bonen meedoen' means that this entry doesn't count for the contest.
Nominate another Simmer for a gift:
OK, here is the thing. At the moment I have no budget left to buy SimPoints to give away. So I came up with something else. You can take 75 to 100 SP from my winnings to gift to somebody of your choice. I know that is not really a gift since my winnings are still your SimPoints only that's the best I can do right now.
Just logged in and noticed the gift that was sent 7 days ago.
Thanks! Unfortunately, it didn't go through and it still asks me to buy it.
I hope it didn't take the points from you.:/ the store's been glitchy for a while now.
Big old bear hugs back @smashbridges20. So glad you are doing well!
Enjoyed that turn around on @ErnesaT and went for another walk down memory lane. FYI, I did play Don Lothario and I kept him in his grain elevator/barn though I did tweak it a bit. He got married and had child in my game. As I control/micromanage my sims, he stayed married and didn't stray... much!

I am humbled that you decided to do that on your own. I did not add myself because I am way to easy to find.
I have added 300 points to your bank.
As for your saying ... we have a few but the closest, I think, is ... "Turnabout is fair play". In other words, having your own plan turned back on you. Thank you.

You're welcome. Glad you like it. I think in this situation, where you gift me an additional 300 SP when I was trying to gift you, you could say "Turnabout is fair play". Thank you for that. I didn't expect it. The saying I was talking about has a slightly different meaning although I can see why it also could be applicable to this situation. I thought about it a little more to come up with a better description. 'Voor spek en bonen spelen' means something like to play for sports. So let's say there is a price to win or you're timed. You would not have any claim to the price, if applicable, you forfeit when you play voor 'Spek en bonen'. Or your time, if applicable, would not be used in the classification or placing. Because you play for sports, or for fun.
EDIT: Let's say you play lots of rounds of a game of cards. A competition between friends. But one person doesn't feel like playing all those rounds the same game, maybe he has to go, then (if everyone agrees) he could play one round for 'spek en bonen'. Because he just want's to play a little bit and not the whole competition. His play in no way effects or influences the game results, his score doensn't really count.

Ahhh. I understand now. It's why I used to host or Sponsor contests, I like to do it for fun. Also, you could not gift me because I own the store.
I do miss all the stories that went with the contests. Does anyone remember the cat lady one? That was hilarious! Was that one of yours @smashbridges20? Now, I'll have to go look for it!
@SimLibby - Mostly, in the forums, we might say we will do something "just for fun" though you could also say "not for credit" as you can take on-line classes just for the info, but not take the test and not get credit for the class. The difference, of course, is that classes might NOT be fun, so you aren't doing them just for "fun" exactly.
