We sued in my case but between the lawyers, medical bills, and on-going costs.......it was gone pretty quick. And I used to be able to walk quite a bit just with the crutches & most people at my 2nd high school just asumed I had CP & since I was too emberassed to explain partial paralisys & brain injuries I rarely bothered to correct their mis-assumption. $\;\)$ I had siezures for about a year after my accident so I had to stay straped in my wheelchair even though I could walk some because if I was walking while I had one & fell down my spine is very fragile & everyone was concerned that all it will take for me to hurt it again or worse is a fall. So at school unless I was in the standing frame I was........ Yeah I hated I high school. $\;\)$ It isn't so bad with college age though. By that age most of them are past the teasing stage. & many if not most are there to learn anyway so the kids that would have teased her back in high school are all "would you like fries with that order?" by age 20 or some other lame job........the ones who go on to college are ususally "bigger" than that. $\:\)$

Nah I think the majority of people are curios & those who don't ask are still probably wondering......they just don't want to come off as rude or they're to emberassed about their being nosy in the 1st place. $\;\)$ $\:P$ LOL Yeah I had an accident when I was 14yrs old. A menu board fell off & onto me; it struck me in the head but it made neck & back injuries along with the head injuries. So I use a wheelchair but I am able to walk for very short distances. When I do walk though it is with forearm crutches + often "a spotter" & it's also kinda jerky & spastic looking so when I was in highschool even a lot of my teachers thought I had CP (my school records did not list why I have learning disabilites now just that I have them). I have partial paralysis from lower back down & pain in the spine with only a couple vertabra left out of the pain party. I dislocated a bunch of vertabra & broke L-2 so I have nerve damage from L-2 down but the dislocations from C2-S3 have made the discs weak & also I have severe osteoarthritis in my back & neck (my x-rays look like I shud be in my late 80's acording to Dr.s). So I don't have my kids with me (I had them after I was hurt but when I divorced their dad the judge said he felt the kids "should be raised by a parent NOT staff" so I lost costudy but still get visitation) they visit me though. Yes I have occasional issues with depression.......kinda hard not too when in this much pain & sometimes it feels like my body is a prison of sorts. But when I am feeling up to it my bestfriend in the world Mike takes me out to where ever I want to go. And thanks to the internet I can still socialize with other people outside of the friends I live with. So I wouldn't say I am depressed but I would say I get depressed occasionally. A part of my brain injury is that the area of the brain that regulates your emotions (temperal lobe......the front of your brain) so anytime I start having negative emotions I get a migraine headache........real big motivation for trying to not let anything but happy be in the driver's seat.

of course you can email it to me $\:\)$ i'd be happy to proof it for you. ill pm you my email.

xtinabobinaApr 23, 2009

hey! don't fret becca, here' what you need to do. first, check your email or inbox here on the site. to do this, go to your 'dashboard' and see if you have any new PM's. usually, when they reject anything on this site, be it a story or screenshot, they send you a reason for doing so via email or PM. Episode 3 was actually rejected because of a picture that i'd included in the story. it was a little more than pg-13 because the pose was one from a posebox..which means that since two sims cannot pose in such a "frisky" manner in the game on their own, then it is not allowed here on the site. (for argument's sake, they were clothed $\;\)$ ) anyway, go through your story, make sure it's pg-13 and make sure there no foul language. other than that, im not sure why they would reject it. i know it will be great. unfortunately, i had to completely reupload my story to TSR after they rejected it, which took a while, but i hope you will do so. uploading a story is somewhat frustrating. i can only upload a few "pages" at a time. so what i do is write the story out on Word and then separate the paragraphs so i know which pictures go with what 'caption.' then, when everything is ready, i upload the first page (only) then go back and add a few more pages at a time. it's a long process..but i wish you the best of luck. please ask if you need any more help. hope this helps you in the mean time. hope to hear from you soon! ~xtinabobina.

hi rebecca! i got my sim to hold her hands to her face by using Decorgal's talk-action hack. you can get it at MTS2. it's really useful for dialogue & just using the actions makes for a great story $\:\)$ i know you wrote in my gbook..i havent gotten to it yet so ill be back to respond to that soon $\;\)$

xtinabobinaApr 10, 2009
