I just finished house sitting last week and immediately left to visit my grandparents in the middle of a mountain range at umpty-thousand feet (about two miles). The altitude has absolutely knocked me flat and excellent internet access has not been the most notable feature. That would probably be the night sky, or possibly the mountains. Heading home tomorrow, where I will reunite with my beloved PC and swear never to leave it again.

  • @Reachsims, thank you so much for all the help with my top five list. I really appreciate having your permission not to write thank you notes. I do everything I can to avoid getting into a mindset where it feels like an obligation, because that's definitely not what I want this to be about. Having someone else explicitly…
  • And I'm back for real this time! I finished my week of house sitting and moved on to a week of visiting relatives who live very high up in the mountains. It was very beautiful but kind of thin in the oxygen department. I was so exhausted I barely managed to connect to the internet at all. It was surreal. I'm so sorry I've…
  • @jbsquared2000, thank you so much for donating your caption contest winnings to me. That was so incredibly nice of you. I'm really glad you've found ways to stay involved in the community even after owning the store, and you've done it in such generous ways. Also, I really liked your caption. @Cogitotoro, thank you first…
  • @ApparentlyAwesome, thank you so much for the particularly cool variant on string lights and the perfectly lovely hairstyle. According to the game's flavor text, sims love well-lit spaces. Myself, I love interestingly-lit spaces. It's nice when everyone can be happy, so I'm very glad to have the Jars of Electric Fireflies,…
  • Wow! I thought it was an awesome contest. Thank you so much for holding it. I apologize for being out of touch, life has really been knocking me flat recently. Random is good! I'd love random things! Thanks again!
  • @charlotteprice, thank you so much for the totally stylish gift bomb. You know how the game tends to stick overly specific, inappropriate hairstyles on paparazzi and other NPCs? Well, I desperately hope it chooses the Celebration Maang Tikka next time. If it's gonna be silly, it might as well be gorgeous, too. I just think…
  • I had some good luck with MMAO earlier and had to replace some of my top five items. My updates list is here.
  • @hopeishuman, thank you for the Immaculate Marcos shoes. I think they're wonderful. I love the shape and the peep toe, and I think I spy subtle hints of other color areas. These will be absolutely perfect for an outfit that needs a shoe where simple isn't a euphemism for boring. I think they're fantastic and I suspect…
  • Thank you to @charlotteprice for taking an axe to my top five list and showing no mercy! Among other things, you helped me get Dreams of India for free when it came up on the DD rotation. My updated list is here.
  • Thank you to @hopeishuman for the lovely heels. I'm so glad to have them. :smile: My updated list is here.
  • @PinguinoGamer94, thank you for the very cool Desert Designs Sofa. It looks so cool. I absolutely love the colorful fabric that goes across the back of the sofa. I'm away from my PC at the moment and I'm suffering severe sims withdrawal. I don't know if I can stand to wait until I get back home so that I can load this most…
  • @gnlovew, thank you so much for the Goddess Contemporary Top. I love the design with the straps over one shoulder. What an awesome shirt. Date Night has so many excellent outfits and items of clothing. I really adore them, but you're right, this set takes forever to get. There's just so much stuff. It may have taken…
  • Thank you so much to @PinguinoGamer94 for the sofa! It pushed me right over the edge to get the rest of Frontier Finds for free. My updated list is here.
  • @Reachsims, thank you so much for the Heirloom Coffee Table. I'm a sucker for coffee tables, almost as much as end tables. Sometimes more. I think the detail work on this particular coffee table is incredibly cool. I was utterly sold on this piece when I noticed the pattern in the wood on the side of the table. I'm not…
  • @PetaT, thank you so much for scrolling through my long, long wishlist and finding something I keep meaning to add to my top five. You're absolutely right. The Clustered Electric Firefly Jars will be much better cared for in my game rather than smushed in the middle of my wishlist. I really oughta take better care of the…
  • @NESChic, thank you so much for the adorable Dancin' Shoes. Really like the shape of the shoe and the bow. There's no help for it, my sims are gonna be ridiculously stylish. Your gift was also just in time to help me get an absolutely killer price on the rest of the Jazz Age Wear. I don't even know what to do with all this…
  • @friday027, thank you so much. You are an angel of set completion. I was able to snag One With Nature for free, which makes me so happy. I really like that set. Looks like it will barely be a moment before I own Frontier Finds as well. (I hadn't put everything from that set on my wishlist for some reason, but it was…
  • @Reachsims, thank you so much for the coffee table, the early learning center (I can't wait to use to finish off Aurora skies! I know it's not everyone's favorite neighborhood, but I think it's fantastic. Even the color of the dirt is great.), and the good wishes for house-sitting. So far I took an Ambien- there was some…
  • *hugs* No worries! I just found a bar of chocolate to call my very own. It was packed in with my t-shirts. I suspect my dad. It was very thoughtful of him. Chocolate is no small matter. I support your right to guard your stash. :smile: I have a few things I wanted to thank you for. You cleaned out my top 5 the other day…
  • Oooh, thank you! This is very convenient.
  • So sorry I haven't been prompt at updating my list. I'm house-sitting for some friends, and I don't savor the idea of trying to update my list on my phone. I've stopped off at home to pick up some medicine and food and a can opener. I can never, ever find their can opener. You guys, though. You guys are awesome! When I'm…
  • @charlotteprice, thank you for the rather epic chocolate fountain. After the incident with the deep fryer (two house fires during one party and the guests still had a good time somehow) I decided to check it out in a casual setting before letting it loose in, say, a wedding. I had one of my sims and her daughter test it…
  • My top five has again become rather empty, and it was a group effort this time. @friday027, thank you so much for the Prism Art Studio. @jbsquared2000, thank *you* for requesting that @friday027 gift me the Prism Art Studio. That was so nice of you! @Kaike78, thank you for the well, which I think will make an incredible…
  • @maria_loves_alex, thank you so much for the wedding attire. It is very much appreciated. Last time I had a wedding, I realized I was not exactly overwhelmed with options, especially for the bride's dress and hair. I look forward to the next wedding. I think it will be a lot more fun to plan. The Wrap Gown is absolutely…
  • @Heledriel, thank you so much for the Atomic Comfort Sofa. I'm not sure exactly what era this style is emulating, but it reminds me of scifi movies from the 70's. I love scifi movies from that time period, even bad ones. Maybe especially bad ones. They make me feel nostalgic, which is kind of weird because I wasn't even…
  • @Kaike78, thank you for The Old Dried-Up Well. I put it on my wishlist because I'm interested in eventually buying Brunch at the Old Mill at a reduced price, but I put it on my top five because I think it's awesome in its own right. I'm not usually the most inspired landscaper, but I'm just itching to use that well as a…
  • @HatsAreLife, I really like your handle. Also, thank you for the Backcountry Partition. I'm not sure it would ever occur to me to purchase a partition in real life, but I absolutely love them in the game. I use them all the time. I'm definitely going to be getting use out of this one. The pattern is just so cool. It looks…
  • @jbsquared2000, thank you very much for the gorgeous Evening Gown with Bow. I wish I owned a purple evening gown. Not that I really have much use for evening gowns. I own one, purchased for a fancy holiday dinner my dad's company threw a long time ago. Luckily I stopped growing around that age and didn't need to shop for a…
  • Uh, wow. I'm really sorry that my gifting directory update seems to have ended up in your personal thank you thread. I'm so confused it's distracting me from dying of embarrassment. I guess that's a net positive? >_<
  • You're quite welcome! I'm glad you like them. My sister gifted them to me a while ago and I've quite enjoyed them. The wonderful @jbsquared2000 totally deserves some blame here as well for requesting that you be gifted in her place. :smile: I really like how Gift the Person Above You doesn't have a lower limit other than…
