Anyone have any recommendations for another stain that’s a similar color? The color is a perfect MLBB shade but I just don’t love the fact that I have to wait for it to dry and peel it off. I want something I can throw on and go

I just want to complain. I’ve been working on a brief for weeks and when I opened the document this morning, all that was left was the original outline I typed out and a paragraph or two in the statement of the case. I lost two full argument sections. I was on the phone with our tech help all morning and they can’t locate it anywhere, said it can’t be recovered, and said they’ve only seen this happen one other time.

I can’t decide if I want to cry or scream.

Update:

I spoke with the managing partner, who I’m drafting the brief for this morning. I spent the whole weekend anxious about this because apparently, this is the plot to the movie Philadelphia and I was worried he wouldn’t believe me (which is a silly concern in hindsight because extensions are literally always granted in my jurisdiction and I can’t think of another reason why someone would make this up other than to get more time to work on their brief). I can still bill all my time for it so I don’t need to worry about my yearly billing requirement, but it’s going to be billed to one of our administrative codes instead of the client.

We switched computer systems and file management services while I was studying for the bar, so it turns out my computer was missing some of the software that everyone else had on their computer (like OneDrive) because it was manually set up by everyone during a firm wide training while I was out.

Well its finally happening... Every summer, my work goes on a trip to a nearby island. We take a boat and then eat outside at a restaurant/walk around the island. We don't cancel unless the weather is bad enough that we can't make the trip out there.

Thus far, I've managed to have an excuse not to go, whether thats classes, an appointment, etc., but I don't see how I'm going to get out of it this time around. I wear a 14 inch glueless, hand tied human hair wig. It doesn't really go up well. I have never worn a hat in my life outside of t-ball as a kindergartener but I'd be willing to try it if that's my best option. TY!

I have two massive female mice. I don’t know how it happened. I got them from a local pet store and they are at least twice the size of my other mice and are almost hamster sized. They’re bigger than any of the show mice I’ve ever had. I was considering getting them a friend or two instead of merging them in with my other mouse colony because the larger group is full of some very itty bitty mice and the size difference is just incredible.

I know you can keep a male mouse with female ASFs, but can you keep females with females? My Google search says yes - but ever since internet search engines have added AI features I swear I don’t get as many relevant results.

I just received a wig in the mail and it ended up being significantly warmer than it looked in the product photos. I’m trying to match my bio hair as much as possible, which is a dark, very ashy blonde. I’ve used purple shampoos on wigs in the past, but never a brand new wig and never one that cost this much, so I am scared I’m going to ruin my new hair somehow.

Any recommendations? I’m in the US.

Also - when you use purple shampoo, do you usually dunk the hair in a mixture of water + shampoo or go straight on the hair? In the past I’ve just washed the hair with the shampoo like I would my actual hair but the company I purchased the wig from recommends the dipping method. Is there any chance I’ll stain the lace using either method?

Ty for any recommendations!

Eta: human hair, it’s about a level 8.5 or 7 golden blonde root with lighter, also gold ends. My bio hair is an ashy 7 or 6.5

I have light brown hair, I use blonde eyebrow products, and blue shampoo turns my hair green. I’ve gone through so many toppers and wigs trying to replicate my bio hair, and every shade of brown I’ve tried is too dark and usually too warm, and every shade of blonde I’ve tried is too light. Level 7 hair dye is darker than my bio hair. For this reason I usually buy a blonde topper and dye it with 3 parts level 8a hair dye to one part level 7a and it ends up being a pretty spot on match to my hair. I’ve reached out to several companies this week explaining that level 4 is too dark, that my hairdresser told me I have level 7 hair, and providing multiple photos of my hair and they keep recommending level 4 shades. Even when I explain that I want something on the cusp of brown and blonde, every single one of them has recommended a level 4 at the lightest. I just want help matching my bio hair and to not have to recolor my topper or wig every time I shampoo. I swear wig companies see a brunette and don’t even bother reading my reply or looking at the comparison photos I send them. They just recommend whatever shade their level 4 is 🥲

My 4 or 5 month old mouse started acting different a few days ago, although I can't pinpoint what might be going on. She went from being very active to not constantly trying to get our attention or trying to get us to pick her up when we walk near the cage. She seems to be eating and drinking fine, the only symptom other than the behavioral changes is that she has been squinting her eyes, but she isn't sneezing, clicking, there's no discharge, no bloating, and no changes in bathroom habits as far as I can tell. Her cage isn't dusty and the temperature in the house has been about the same as usual. I'd like to get her checked out at by the vet because my gut is that something is wrong. Will a vet be able to tell from examining her what might be going on? The only reason I am hesitant to take her is is that we're currently having a heatwave in my part of the US and I'm worried about the stress of bringing her to the vet + the heat if they won't have anything to go off to diagnose her :(

Eta: the only appointment available is on the hottest day of the week, in the high 80’s on the drive over and mid 90’s on the drive home.

I feel like I’ve tried just about every pistachio perfume on the market, and I’m just not finding anything close. Demeter Pistachio Ice Cream might be the closest, but it’s more of a pure pistachio scent (specifically it smells to me like how almond extract tastes). It’s missing the vanilla and something else that Pistachio Glaze has.

There’s an airiness to PG after the initial spray and I’m confident I’ve smelled it in another BBW scent, but I can’t think of what it was. I’m hoping I can get a similar scent by layering whatever that spray was with either Toasted Pistachio or Demeter.

I know this is kinda a vague and niche request but I’m hoping someone knows what I’m talking about. It was another light, airy, sweet body spray. It was probably available within the last 5 years and may still be available. I think it also had vanilla in it. I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember what it is!

I have been wearing closed lace toppers for about a year now. I have a medical condition and my hair loss seems to be getting worse by the day. I don’t think the toppers are contributing at all, but I am thinking about switching from toppers to wigs just in case.

I recently purchased a Breeze topper from uniwigs and realized that it may not be enough hair for my current hair loss, so I have the option to either return it and pay a restocking fee or return it for store credit. I was looking at the Isabella wig, but I’ve tried their lace front hair toppers in the past and the lace was so delicate I could not get it to stick to my skin no matter what I tried. Has anyone tried a human hair wig from them?

In the past, I’ve tried a wig from Silk or Lace and I found it really uncomfortable, so I’m a little weary about trying a wig again. I do have cervical spine problems and occipital headaches and pressure on certain spots of my head can cause me pain.

I’m open to other suggestions if anyone has any!

Anyone else notice this? Every time my sim travels to a location, 3-4 pregnant sims show up while in labor. When I open the small business? Several pregnant sims in labor. On a date? Multiple sims in labor nearby.

Star and Jane Addam showed up at the spice festival both fully pregnant, in labor, and both doing the pre-parental panic dance. I don't know if it's the update, a weird mod glitch, or just a coincidence but its kinda cracking me up.
