Hmmm well what do ya know.....talk about similar stories......sheesh.   I read what you wrote in "The Den" & wow.   I broke my back L2 & dislocated most of the vertabra in my spine with a MAJOR dislocation of C3......actually at 1st everyone even the Dr.s had though I'd borken it til the x-rays showed otherwise.  And that same accident gave me the brain damage.  But at 1st from neck down I had feeling but it was numb/cold/tingly & my arms felt as though they weighed 100+ pounds each, and from L2 down....nuttin!  After an operation to drain fluid out of the skull so the brain had more room to swell & another one to the lower back to "debread".....(you know get the little shreds of bone out of the canal) cuz if they hadn't then the swelling in those 2 palces would have left me with less function & more damage than what I do have.  Worked for almost 18mo of intensive PT & OT & go to walking with forearm crutches.  I got stronger & stronger & was able to do it for a block or 2 before my legs & back would give out, but I had this "John Wayne" sort of walk.......I have drop foot & so I shuffled my feet & I had to pull up with my hip & thigh to get the leg to move forward......that caused further damage.....as did my 4 kids.  I like you was not supposed to be trying to carry babies.......and my body took a beating for it.  My hubby is now my ex-hubby & he unlike yours was a jerk (to put it mildly)!  So I'm now divorced & said jerk & his family used my disabilities against me in court.  I get things mixed up.....like the order of things......even when I speak (typing I can usually catch mistakes) & I accidently swallowed my earrings & tryied to put my pills in my ears.......WOOPSIE!  So a trip to the E.R. & getting my stomach pumped out (earrings would perferate the intestines & could scratch my throat on the way back out......so had to eat this jelly stuff & then they sucked the contents back out.   But in court they brought that up along with a few other stupid things I've done; so it was either go ahead & have the kids hurt by seeing their father & his family drag me thruogh the ringer......or I could just suck it up & get the best deal I could (visitations with the kids & he has to give me at least 2 a month, & he can not leave the county we live in with out MY permission)......that will happen over my dead body.   So I got the best I could with out hurting the kids.....which although my ex & his family didn't mind doing it......I'll be damned if I'll be the tool of their pain. :P  Got put on bedrest with each of them from about 5mo on, & I had my 2nd daughter @ 32 wks. too.  She HAD lost of complications.........but they've all been corrected with the exception of her retinas......she has ROP Retinopathy Of Prematurity AKA non-attached retinas that were scarred by the oxygen.  Sheesh....2 different boo-boos to the spine?   Ya know you should really try avoiding that. J/K LOL  Well take care.

If you like playing with OFB & running shops you'll want to stop by NoFrills & DOT & cat3cm are must haves.   There was another artist who had made some shoes I had been dying to try out in a shoe store.  To place costome content on OFB shelves ModTheSims & look up Numenor he is the one who made a hack that allows cc to be placed on OFB shelves.

Well the blog about kissing boo-boos better was because my daughter had a miscariage, & was quite depressed about it & still is quite sad over it.   Siezures can be hard.....especially when you're a teenager!   Luckily I don't have those anymore.   Yeah I had an accident when I was 14; sign landed on my head, cracked my skull & geve me the brain damage, dislocated TONS of vertabra & broke L2 resulting in the spinal cord injury.   I'm able to walk but only with forearm crutches & only around a room cuz somewhere between 50-100ft my legs just go completely numb on me & down I go.   Windeeper made a modern manual wheelchair for me & all other TS2 players who wanted to have Sims with disabilities.   Yeah I 2nd EVERYTHING that alandperrine said .  You'll also want to look up ziggy28 , shadow66, tabbylou, SimAddict99, Mutske, MsBarrows, VictoriaGrace,Henwen, Hatshepsut, Elena, DOT, cat3cm, shakeshaft, MoMama, Murano, Shino&KCR, Sims2Sisters, DevilishDawn (she did tons of pretty walls), Maylynn, fionnababygirl, Studio K, elektra274......now there are TONS more.  I would have included Moonlitmaiden but I see you've already met her.   Oh GrayDragonLady made a ton of outfit recolors requiring no meshes.  That should keep you busy for a while.......muahahaha. :P  So what Sims 2 games do you have?   I'm VERY lucky......I've got ALL of the expansions & stuff packs.   I'm into making lots & pets.......I can stick my earbuds in & crank up my MP3 & try & forget all about the owies.   Nice meeting you.

Hey, Thanks for signing my guest book. The Sims 2 has TONS of great victorian CC. And I would have to say if u want the best in all reguards for victorian furniture u absolutely MUST check out Cashcraft's creations. She is HANDS DOWN the queen of victorian furniture. (actually I'm in withdraw without her creations) LOL And she has some nice walls and floors as well. And JSF is SOOOO talented with the victorian walls and floors. And there's a site www.all-about-style.com and she has a WHOLE section dedicated to victorian clothes and it's ALL free! I MISS ALL OF IT!!!! LOL. But sims 3 is too great and too much of an improvement to continue with the sims 2. So I'm just *hoping* these creators will continue with their talent for the sims 3! Oh and check out vitasims2 if u haven't already- she has nice victorian stuff too! Well bye for now~Alan
