The Fishing Hole

"A sim-owner's work is never done!" (Old jungle saying)

There is always something that needs updating, repairing, landscaping, gardening or a general overhaul. Yesterday my Tomais had the brilliant idea that we should convert one of the many ponds at Southern Charm into a fishing hole.

Although fishing has never been a great interest of mine, I like the idea and view it as yet another place on the sim where we can sit and talk with friends or just the two of us. As always when Tomais is involved it turned out beautifully.

We are not going to put out fish in the hole and it will not be one of those fishing contest places either. The fishing poles are just to make you relax and look good while you are talking.

"Listen To Your Body, Bock" - Part 4

This is the fourth and final installment of a series of post entitled "Listen To Your Body, Bock".

In the previous posts I have shared some outtakes of my medical history where I have been told by representatives of the medical profession that I should "listen to my body".

What I wanted to show you with the examples in my posts was that "listen to your body" is a crock of shit which no decent healthcare worker should ever utter.

Your body sends you many signals over time, most of them are nonsense. Your body doesn't always tell you when something is wrong and if it does, it isn't always clear about it. Only once in a while does it have something important to say.

Instead of trying to listen to the gibberish coming from the body, observe it carefully. Notice the changes that occur on your body, size, color, density, texture, new lumps, tenderness, whatever. If it is unexpected, get a check-up.

If you feel pains or see blood, get a check up. And always, always, have a regular check-up every year or two.
