So I have had a thing come up a lot and haven't been able to find an answer.
First: My sim maxed her gardening skill and wants to plant a money tree. How do I do that? I seen it said something about getting money in the mail and I've never got a bag of money in the mail lol. | |

Who doesn't love rude, overly entitled customers? I work in a large book chain where we wear lanyards instead of name tags. Many times, at least several times a day in fact, many customers line up in the wrong direction. We have a sign that says PLEASE PAY HERE but it's above eyesight, so often times people miss it and that's okay. But most the time when I ask them to line up in the other direction, especially when there's a line already forming, they turn around and apologize. Keep in mind that we only have customers form in ONE line, for simplicity. Well, said entitled customer came up when there was already a line around the other way, about 5 or 6 customers deep. He'd been there literally 30 seconds when I asked him to please walk around the other way and join the queue, very politely. ( Here's how it went ) | |

There are three things that are guaranteed to make me smile at my job as a video rental clerk. Those things are, in no particular order:
* Cute and laughing children. * Cute old couples and/or friendly older gentlemen who call me "doll" (in the non-creepy way preferably). * People who have their ID ready before getting to the till so I can look up their account.
So honestly, I'm not too hard to please. Most people fall into one of these three categories, or there are people around them that make me really have a genuine smile on my face instead of a fake plastic pageant smile. All is good.
Things that are guaranteed to make me FROWN include:
* Messing up the store by moving everything, and then complaining about not being able to find anything. * When I ask for an ID, giving me a phone number. I didn't realize people had phone numbers as names! Sorry 867-5309!! * Making terrible fun of the people who were speaking in Somalian in front of you and then letting your child go on and on after they left asking me questions about how silly they sound and how do I understand them and how do I check out movies to them and then the 8 year-old said I SHOULDN'T CHECK OUT MOVIES TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH! Geez, I wonder where little Timmy picked that up from! * Stealing the pens from the cup. Now people can no longer sign their slips. * Arguing with me and damning me to hell over a 40cent late fee. I'll pay the damn thing myself if it's that much of a deal! But I can not delete it from the system! No way, no how! * ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ... now I know my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me and remember them so you know where you are going in the store when I say that everything is alphabetical around the wall? Thanks! (Example: "Yes! Last House on the Left is in! It will be in the L's!" and then they walk over to the P's and ask me if that would be before or after The Proposal. *facepalm*)
And last but not least...
* I am not in charge of what movies Corporate sends us, so please stop getting upset with me that we do not have Dexter/Season 2 of Friends/Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom/Titanic/Angus/Boondock Saints/Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas/more copies of blah blah blah blah.....
*ahem*. Thank you. *bow and scamper* | |

U.S. Representative John Boner Boehner tries to quote the preamble to the Constitution (the one he's holding) and quotes the Declaration of Independence instead.

My boyfriend worked as a mechanic for a couple decades, and as such he's pretty much Seen It All--you know, the electric tape over that pesky oil light, the music up loud to drown out that funny noise...but this one really stood out.
Scenario: customer walks into a parts store and requests something simple....say, spark plug wires. And this dialogue follows:
Clerk: What kind of car is it? Customer: A fodo. (The r-dropping makes it worse somehow--I swear I thought it was some exotic European make I'd never heard of before.) Clerk: Yeeesss...but what KIND of four-door is it? Customer: It a V8.
And the worst part is, he says that not only did this happen REGULARLY, but about three times out of five the next information they would come out with was the color of the paint.
Because the fact that your car has four doors will really narrow down the specific parts you need. O.o - Feeling:amused

I'm a senior in high school and the things I hear from the mouths of my peers are simply stunning. I just want to either bang my head against the wall or burst into tears on a daily basis.
In the beginning of the semester, a student asked, "Do we have a prime minister?" (We are in the US. This should not be a question you need to ask as a 17/18 year old.)
Yesterday a student asked if women could run for president. I go to an all-girls school and we just finished watching a movie about the women's rights movement. Not to mention, where has she been for the last couple of years? A woman just did run for president, idiot.
I genuinely fear for the future. There are some relatively intelligent and informed students in the class and the school as a whole. But the rest...I just do not understand how they will ever survive in life. D: Even more insanely stupid things happen quite often. I could fill a journal. | |

Here is a one that I had happen Thursday. ( Pay the bleeping attention to your proofs!! )And a small one that is getting SO annoying: Why, for the love of god, are you handing me your CREDIT CARD for $0.11? Really? You don't have a dime and one penny in your car? Heck, I'll make it easy on you and just take a dime. A nickel? Something? We have signs that say we don't want to take under a certain amount. (Actually, we have six of them, on bright neon paper) Please read them. [edited to elaborate a little] | |

 A friend of mine has a gallery nearby and each month hosts a themed show. November is "GLUTTONY". This is my recently completed piece called, appropriately, "Breakfast of Champions". It is wood, acrylic paint, paper and ink. ( +2 ) | |

I could wax poetic about this season. The trees, the nip in the air, and the smell of chocolate from the boys Hallowe'en loot. The chocolate can handle it's own and better writers than I have already cornered the market with their descriptive powers. This season's chill brings the warmth of chili. Alright, that's just an excuse, we eat chili regardless of the season. As my oldest would say, "Chili is yum!" I set out to prepare for something, different. Over the summer we were part of a community gardening plot. This year our big harvest was pickling cucumbers, tomatillos, and peppers. Lots of Pepperocinis, Poblanos, Serrano, and Jalapeños! That, however, is for a different post. This post is about Tomatillos! The Rest</a | |

 Selena Gomez strikes a cute pose while meeting “Santa” Stitch at Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Winter Castle on Saturday morning (November 7) in Anaheim, Calif. The 17-year-old Disney starlet taped a segment for the 2009 Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade, airing December 25 on ABC. Yesterday, Sel tweeted, “[My mom Mandy] made me turn the depressing music off and put on ‘One Time’ by my boy Justin Bieber. Why does he always put me in a good mood?” ( ++++++++++++ ) | |

I'm really nervous about this, so I knew this was the place to come before I beat myself up with stress in the home-pregnancy test aisle at the pharmacy..
OK, at the beginning of my birth control pack, Monday (tomorrow is my last day of sugar pills- for reference) I was unable to renew my pack so I couldn't take my first pill until Tuesday at like 5ish? (I usually take them at 9pm), also later that same week (it could even have been Saturday) I forgot to take my pill until several hours later.
That Saturday (the first week of my pack) my boyfriend and I had sex with a condom, he then took off the condom- but didn't really make an effort to wipe off his penis after removal. About 15 minutes later we had sex again, for the first little bit we didn't use a condom, and then when we were really going to "get into it" he put a condom on.
Do you think any of this is grounds for pregnancy?
For the rest of the month I've had more than usual discharge, my period did come this Thursday (a day or two earlier) but it was pretty light (only a bit lighter than usual) and finished last night/this morning. Usually my period runs into the Monday (just the gross after-stuff).
Am I stressing myself over nothing? I took a basic quiz on about.com and they said because of the discharge& stuff I should take a test.. The idea of getting a test really scares me- plus I really dont have a spare $20 to throw down on a test if you all will say its not necessary.
I'm so mad at myself because before and after that week I have been RIDICULOUSLY GOOD at taking my pill within half an hour.. Which I usually can never do.
Thanks in advance! | |

So, I updated my video driver...and installed glamor life.
I have all EP's up to Freetime and have glamor life, mansions and gardens, celebration, family fun, h&m stuff packs.
I can't open my game in full screen mode any longer. And when I open it in window mode...it inevitably crashes.
I've tried searching this problem out but can't really find anything.
Any suggestions? | |
