I Need To Whine

I feel your pain, although I created a shortcut to my game and now I don't have to rely soley on Origin to get into my game.

A couple of weeks ago when Origin was obviously overloaded and went down, I tried to read a book. It doesn't help when all you want to do is play your game. :(

I know what you're saying. My Sims are three days away from graduation and getting on with their lives! I tried to get them there yesterday afternoon, but for two things. !) My eyes start getting all bleary and 2) Hubby was home and was cooking dinner for me. The least I could do was go downstairs when he let me know it was ready. Who knew the Gremlins would be out today? :open_mouth:

I keep telling myself, even though we don't know when this will blow over, it will eventually blow over. Everyday we get through is one day closer to the end. I'm a homebody so the staying home part doesn't get to me though.

As for Origin, I've had a little issue/glitch with it as well. It logs me in in offline mode too. Usually, I can sign in again and it's fine. Have you tried downloading Origin, or is it another site you're having problems with?

I was keeping up with all of the updates and not long ago things went kaflooey on me. I got a notice that EA is no longer supporting Windows 7. I did the only thing I could think of. I rolled back to another setpoint on my computer, to a date when I knew I was able to play my game. Things were going just fine. I think I'm going to have to upgrade to Windows 10, however. I know I can play the Sims4 on the OS because I've played on my new laptop and that's the OS that came with it. I just hate Win 10, though. Oh, well.

As for my Internet, these people need to be allowed to go back to work. They're clogging up the system worse than when the kids were out for Spring Break. LOL

@elanorbreton I actually did better than those great suggestions you had. I have been putting-off making a PDF file of my latest novel to send to a couple of relatives. So, with the pages on Front Matters printed out, I slowly began making that file. I'm adding maps and stuff to that front matter, so that those who aren't familiar with the area in question can have a clue. Then I couldn't find the copies of the maps I'd shared over at my Sevier family Facebook page and went there to recapture them. I love that right click. Then I got hung up there for a bit. I didn't realize my little rant thread had gained so many responses until just moments ago. I'm going to have to try the one about right clicking on Origin to see if I can at least get in. So frustrating to be so close to where I was in the older save, (only having a much better time of it) but not being able to advance today. I don't and haven't worked outside of the home for most of my married life. I am the quintessential Homebody.

I am a Loner. But there is a HUGE difference between opting to stay home and being TOLD to stay home. When it's my idea, I begrudge anything that takes me out of the house. The sad effect is that now the walls are slowly closing in on me. LOL I do need to come up for air upon occasion. Even in the heat and passion of writing a novel. My Beagles are sweet (when they want to be) but they're not big on conversation. Their way of greeting me good morning, is to lick me in the ear. Ewww. Again, thank you for the great suggestions!

@AnnLee87 Thank you for the pep talk. I really needed that. My husband's job has been deemed essential. He's an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer) and apparently, they are going to be doing those essential tests on some ventilator units. Yay!

My eldest son works for a grocery store. He mostly takes the online purchases and gathers up the order for the customer. Silly young man (he just turned 40) smokes like a house on fire. I pray for him, daily. All I can do is look upward. God is in charge, not me. His Will be done!
