I've worked in group homes before and none of those people could be alone for more than a few minutes without supervision. I can't even imagine the fear for your students you're feeling. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for sharing this.

Just remember, they want us scared. They want us to feel hopeless. They want us to feel like we'll never get through this. But if we keep talking and we keep sharing, and we keep making community, we can not only survive but we can win.

I'm good at my job. I routinely have to take breaks because I'm faster than everyone else and I don't want to set my own work standards too high. I do work on city water systems. This past week I was out by myself and managed to do more fire hydrant work than the guys who were in groups of two by noon. I let them pass me by the end of the day so it didn't look like they were slacking or, like I should achieve a crazy amount every day.

I appreciate the update was thoroughly confused

I have gut feelings about certain things at work. I work in city water maintenance and generally I know they're a main break before there's any evidence of it. I am trained to find them but for some reason, I tend to be better than everyone else at my job with it.

That not all application methods work with all foundations or all skin types. I had one foundation and I can't remember what it was but it was a liquid and I just couldn't make it look good with a beauty blender. Never occurred to me at that stage in my makeup journey that I could use a brush with a liquid foundation. That changed everything. I don't wear much makeup anymore because I work outside and I'm constantly sweating but it's good to remember that there are multiple application methods so if one doesn't work, try another.

What's that quote, never stand in the way of your enemy when he's making a mistake? They're making a lot of them.

Not gonna lie, I saw this over on High Sodium Sims on Reddit and then I saw it again here and was like, I should bring that sub here so, I did. Thanks for the inspiration!

He's pretty awesome. He has a monthly thread with updates and actually responds to you too.

While not quite what you're looking for, it's a cute love story that has some spicy scenes. For Whom The Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn. It's based on her series Hell's Belles on TikTok.

If you're looking for more of an audio type thing there's the Quinn app

I work outside, I've seen so many beautiful mostly native gardens lately it's been so encouraging. Then I see so much of this too... So glad to see all these beautiful gardens though.

Literally came here looking for this thanks!

Well shit... Glad I'm on 3 different instances

I had to stop TS4 shortly after island living. I just couldn't deal with how fucked up the game was. And don't get me started on how BORING game play is without mods...

Might've totally forgotten to respond to you oops. They make flat foundation brushes but honestly half the time I'm lazy and I have a million blush brushes and use those lmao

Yeah I've been on both sides of this and both suck lol. Being the locator and marking your shit right and they still take it out as well as being on the contractor side and the locator is off by 3 feet. There's no winning in utilities lmao.

Yeah that's generally my go to also. For whatever reason the brush worked best on that one particular liquid foundation.

I never understood how this feature on my Garmin, thank you for explaining it!

Lol I don't comment a lot so it was still at the top of my inbox 😂😂

I adore Sims 2 so much!

I hate that
