I just made the biggest, dumbest mistake.

Post by Aloretta Dethly »

I wasn't paying attention and worked all 89 of my appy yearlings at once and managed to injure 39 of them. I rarely, if ever, use the mass train button and it bit me BIG time, I meant to schedule them ahead too. I just lost $226,500.

I need to walk away for a minute...

Aloretta, sorry for the big vet bill, but at least on the good side, they are yearlings and should recover before they have to start racing.

Dumbest mistake I made...way back when. Before we could undo shipping, or first class shipping....
I shipped a good 2 year old standardbred trotter all the way to Australia...where at the time they also didn't have any harness racing. It was like 30+ hours there... 30+ hours back... plus time needed to let the horse rest after such a marathon plane ride. At the time, I probably only had about $25,000 in my Sim account...and the plane ride each way was over $1,000 -- so about 10% of my money was diverted to travel too. :P

Same. This could so easily have been any one of us.

Just sent you a PM. I'll cover your vet bill. You always help me out when I need it and I appreciate it. It's all good! Just tell them slacker yearlings to suck it up and get better quickly! lol

I'm sorry, Aloretta! Last Sim-year I accidentally asked equipment for all my arabians (including claimers) when I meant to gallop. 192 horses, 96000 GPs... Ouch.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words, messages, and offers. This really is the best community. I originally just wanted to put a warning out there for people to be careful, lol. I'm going to change my name to Dingbat Dethly now.
