@JulesDarling 😐 you triggered my jealousy trait lol 😂 *whines* I want visiting squirrels! Unfortunately I’ve always lived in areas of Australia with pretty vicious wild life, my youth (at parents place) was on a beach where great whites were always in land, you could sit on the balcony and just watch them glide up and down the shore line, giant f***ers too, I mean the big ones that the others swam away from, we also had king browns (snake) and funnel webs (spiders) in the yard... 😵and sometimes downstairs inside the house. Later when I moved around I became a spider magnet, red-headed mouse spiders, red backs, white tips etc etc, now I live with my husband in a alpine region and we have a grumpy koala that growls like a demon if you get too close to his area, however the saving grace is early, like 2-3am early if you’re lucky we do have giant gliders which are huge like pale teddy bears... but like who is up at that time?! so yep I’ve totally romanticised everyone else’s experience with their wildlife, like you and your squirrel. The ones I’ve seen have lead me to believe they have such huge personalities, I really love them.
I do grow roses but it has taken me years and I still struggle with black spot and mildew, since I’m alpine the air is heavier with moisture so they really need to be spaced out to breathe but I know they grow because the property down from me has the rose garden dreams invented, honestly she’s managed to sway train her roses so she has the perfect picturesque rose bushes then it’s framed by this fence of roses with the sways in the air 😑 I want roses like that! I was told if you can grow lavender you can grow roses, make sure you buy healthy bare rooted roses, prepare the soil a few weeks prior to buying/planting as they are ferocious feeders to begin with, don’t prune them for the first three years and plant them at the right time with space, so no plants growing near their base, they love iron so when you plant them plop in some store bought iron tablets into your watering can and give them a iron drink, do that after every prune (but not for the first 3 years, don’t know why but I was told that and it definitely made a difference) Don’t give up, like peonies they have a bad rep for being hard to grow but they’re really easy once you get to know their likes/dislikes.
I love heather, I visit Scotland a few times a year (mostly Skye) and heather is a hardy little plant that smells so sweet and lovely and grows like wild fire. Hot tip is try it first in a pot or a small section as the fragrance is polarising (some find the scent too unusual, like it tickles the nose) but if you end up loving it go for it. If you get frosts they can look dead while in the dormant stage but they always come back. They are fantastic in home made soaps (if you go nuts over the scent.)
😑😑 I don’t want to stop fangirling but got to run. ✌️💐
I think that I will try some heather and per advice I will try it in a pot and in my front yard! Charlie has such separation anxiety that she pulled down a fairly large branch of one of my redbud trees! Big sigh!! I can’t take her to the puppy playgrounds until she has her tags so it just been my sister and myself. I have put her in her kennel but only for about a half hour. Advice? Anyone?
I had the same issues with my lavender for season after season until like your tip about heather and placed it in a pot! I dry it and yes I do make soap with small sprigs of it. I may sell art but my soap I just give as gifts over the holidays. My grandad sent me a stuffed koala when I was little and it was made of kangaroo fur! I loved it then, still have it but definitely don’t want anything to give its fur for a toy! Mine didn’t growl nor do I think it was a demon! 😉
I am laughing because we definitely have different wildlife! I live in a city so the wildlife here sets off fireworks all summer and when that gets boring guns may replace the cracking sound! I do live in a nice area but it isn’t the country and it’s not the burbs! I think it is a trade off, I got a beautiful arts and crafts bungalow on almost an acre of land . I can put up with the traffic and the kids for what I have.
I have to run and feed the squirrels! Now I am kidding I need to post about the limit!
I will cross post. Okay either someone finally got through to EA or there is a glitch. I was able to pull out of my storage almost 30 items!!!! I need to expand! Hurry everyone before the gate closes!
- themummyof47 years agoSeasoned AceI love squirrels... in the Netherlands we have the beautiful rusty red coloured ones, but here in England it's the grey ones...
I finally managed to write another story, as Anselma has been plaguing me for days.. but with my new Sims3, and real life, and the novel I just struggled to get one in...
I'm excited though, I can see her heading down the wrong track....

Hello, friends. I didn't realize I've been away for two weeks now. Still resting. I hope everyone is still here and doing well!
Just wanted to let you know I'm still active in-game, but I understand if you need to remove me from your friend list to make room for active forum members. I can request a re-add when I return and wait for a slot.
Also, I changed my second Sims Mobile username from "HouseofGlass" to "Mirror House," so that's me. I'm still active in that account, too, but please feel free to remove it from your friend list as well if you need to cull.
Hugs & black hearts to each and every one of you.

@themummyof4 Mummy, I just read "Moving Around" and it was awesome. I laughed out loud about Anselma's preoccupation with looks. Especially considering how my boy Sims look after turning into adults. Lol.
Now I can't wait to read the next chapter. What is in store for Anselma and Ralph...You always leave me in suspense. ☺😋
- themummyof47 years agoSeasoned AceThanks, @PaQuilter1, I'm looking forward to it too, lol, as I really enjoy their story...!

This is how I do it, there might be different or better ways.
1) find the thread you want to link.
2) in the address bar, select it and copy it
3) go to the question where you would like to link it.
4) click on the reply button
5) In the compose window, click on the link icon.
6) Paste the address you previously copied into the URL field.
7 optional) you can change the text or add instructions but if you aren't sure what you are doing, don't.
8) submit

@BlueWizardRob Thank you so much!! I wanted to answer someone's question, but I really needed to be able to give a link. You're so good at explaining things. Thanks for the pic too! That helped.

@BlueWizardRob Is spot on, but for anyone on a tablet or smartphone, you can copy the URL and then when you go back to the thread you want to paste the link in, compose your post and press the screen to bring up the ‘past’ option and press it. The URL will be linked automatically.

@Finealta That's the way I do it too! 😊
- 7 years ago@PaQuilter1 Hi! I have been rummaging around here trying to find the thread that helps players find partners for their sims and seems like a fruitless quest. Is it even a real thing? Thank you for any information.
