Dwanye you are bonkers and i wish our paths had crossed in the real world.

To you and Pete .

I am a novice not only to this game ,but to online stuff in general.

I do have talents in a differant field lol

I have seen my children tapping away on the only thing that seems to matter to them the phone, everybody pretending to be somebody there not.

I posted something i should not have done ...a family photo.

I like to know who i am dealing with, your dealing with me.

Regards Frank

Frank, I’m an old retired guy too. Ten years ago I didn’t know how to send a text message, today I’m constantly tapping away on my phone.

Your enjoying the Sim and like to talk about it. Not one single thing wrong with it!

And how are you going to learn about the Sim or technology unless you ask or do it? Life is to short to worry about it!

Bah! I'm friends outside of the SIM with a lot of SIM players. We text, chat, and are on Facebook/Twitter. I'll meet up with any SIM player that's within a 4/5 hour drive of me. I've gone to officially sanctioned SIM gatherings and there are photos of SIM meetups.

Absolutely nothing wrong with sharing personal info/photos if you are comfortable with it.
There is an 8 page thread on it even! viewtopic.php?f=6&t=40019

Keep on, keeping on!

No one is going to begrudge someone sharing their excitement of the sim or looking to learn. Your posts are a nice break from all the complaining of us old curmudgeons.

If it makes you feel better, I don't do chat, either. Not because I'm a slow typist, but because I think in complete sentences and I like to be thoughtful about what I'm saying, as opposed to off-the-cuff. Chat feels like a rushed conversation to me, and I wouldn't want to sit down and have lunch with someone who was speaking in a hurry-up manner. And plus I'm from a generation where there wasn't any such thing as "chat speak" or URLs without spaces between words, etc., so even though chat has been around a few decades, I've still never reached a comfort level with it.

Festivus and big race nights are crazy. I average a 60-80 word per minute typing speed and I’ve been formally educated to speed read and I still struggle to keep up sometimes!

You almost have to enter into a private chat room on those occasions? If you aren't trampled to death before you get there?

Like Gwayne said. If you go to chat, you can specifically talk to a single person, one on one, at your own pace. Private chat. It’s been some time since I’ve gone on chat for the same reason, it’s way too fast for me too! But it can be done!

My mom always taught me that the only stupid question is the one you don’t ask, so don’t be stupid...keep asking!

Wise words indeed from your mom Nick.

I was always told .
It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it. :lol:
