Blessed Beyond Measure

It was the morning after their wedding, and Danny-Joe and Melissa were ready to move into their new home.

They weren't sure they had the hang of this kissing thing yet, but they were determined to get as much practice as possible...

First things first... sweet, sweet fellowship.

Melissa was excited to take a pregnancy test, but with only $4 in their bank account, she knew they couldn't afford it yet. Danny-Joe realized he needed to start providing, and went out in search of collectibles behind his neighbor's property.

With the income from Danny-Joe's collecting, Melissa could finally afford a pregnancy test.

It was positive! Off she went to share the joyous news with her sweet husband...

He was overjoyed! Melissa was starting to feel nauseated, though, so she headed home. Danny-Joe decided to try his hand at fishing to see if he could provide for his family that way...

Impatient with the fish, he decided to look for rare frogs instead...

And then he was tempted by another dig site...

Bonanza! Danny-Joe couldn't believe those secular fools who got "jobs" when there were such riches for the taking in the natural world.

Meanwhile, back at home, Melissa tested her cooking skills by preparing Danny-Joe's favorite meal -- grilled cheese.

She practiced gazing at him with adoration while he talked...

They set aside an hour for Bible Time...

They slept soundly, dreaming of God's kingdom.

The days passed in a blur. Melissa burned breakfast...

5643d61948773_11-11-15_41106PM.thumb.png

She realized with horror that her water had broken at the dinner table...

5643d652addb9_11-11-15_41834PM.thumb.png

Danny-Joe wasn't sure what to expect as labor progressed...

5643d69e9da4f_11-11-15_43055PM.thumb.png

Social Services provided a bassinet...

The miracle of life!

5643d6c794db5_11-11-15_43239PM.thumb.png

But one bassinet wasn't enough, because Danny-Joe and Melissa had been blessed beyond measure with twins!

5643d6ee44ed4_11-11-15_43640PM.thumb.png

They named their tiny future Christian soldiers Aaron and Abel. Danny-Joe hadn't made enough money to furnish a nursery yet, but the children could stay in the living room for now.

-Hilarious-! Now I really want to dust off my Sims game and give this a go (but I know it would be a huge time sink that I can't afford right now).

Thanks @EyeQueue :D Time sink it is, but I figured that having to document things would slow me down... trying not to binge.

Love it! Is this Sims 3?

Nope! This is 4. I miss some things about 3 (mostly toddlers and the towns/townies) but 4 plays so much better on Mac that I've stuck with it.

I haven't played the Sims in forever. I've only ever played 1 and 2. I am old. Ha!

My sims ran out of beds and one was sleeping outside and almost froze to death. I'm a mess.

Uh oh! How big is your household so far?

You must be running 3 with Seasons. I miss the bunk beds and sleeping bags from Generations :(

Yes I have 3 with all the expansions. I can't afford 4 and I would probably miss not having a "fully loaded" game. I'm up to 9 kids so far.

I have (and love) 3, but it runs so erratically on my Mac that I uninstalled it when 4 ran so well. I reinstalled just the base game and tried 3 again, but still a pain. But I miss toddlers so much :( And Twallan's mods.

Danny-Joe and Melissa had their 3rd and she's pregnant with their 4th now. I think I'll probably cave and mod eventually so that I can have a bigger household.

3 is quite brutal but since I can't afford 4 I play it anyway. I also still have 2 so I have some options.

      For what it's worth, as I haven't seen it mentioned yet:

       

      The day the Bus Fam posted about touring Sailboat Fam's boat (May 6th), I distinctly remember a redditor commenting in at least 2 places that they had filed a CPS report. That they recognized the place the Lotts were parked and reported that detail. Their comments were quickly deleted, as I recall. 

       

      Who knows if the redditor was telling the truth, and that if they did really report, if CPS turned it into an investigation. But I am pretty confident that if this WAS the source, the investigation wouldn't have started prior to May 6th.

      He probably needed to at least give a partial payout to Kim so she could buy her boat (which was a crazy odd choice).

      Boat: a hole in the water you throw money into.

      Forgot where I read that but it's kind of true in a lot of cases.

      She doesn’t seem quite as public about their relationship as she did back then.

      No surprise really, given how much shit gas gone down in this series/family. If she has any sense and isn't just looking for the limelight she'll stay out of that mess. I think if the girlfriend was a paid actress she'd be on camera more, not less. Creating drama and storylines.

      On the one hand I agree with them that the social support is inadequate, and that detailing your medical needs shouldn't have to happen

      It would definitely have to happen if they wanted support based on their medical needs from the state though. Why on earth should I believe some rando on the internet when they tell me they can't work, without any proof? They can claim all they want and I won't care or challenge them but when they want me to give them money? Yep, I do indeed want to see some kind of proof they legit need what they say they need or I will put my money toward another one of the thousands of other desperate pleas. There are so many in genuine need: why would I give my money to them and not the dog with the piece of ham on its face?

      My all-time favourite Art post is the one where they say “Just for today, you can double the impact of your support with this opportunity” as if this was the moment we were all waiting for.

      It's a PBS pledge drive! 😂

      Whereas I am very amused that 8 years after the fact they are still hung up on Hillary Clinton. Guys, she's just not that into you and has moved on with her life... get over it?

      (also is Vance's wife in there at all?)

      I agree. They also included Rush Limbaugh, who is dead.  I also don't really understand why Dan Scavino is there. Maybe they updated something from 2016. After reading the link below, I think there is really one female character in the Dukes of Hazzard, which is why Vance's wife is out. Hillary is cast as a male bad guy.

      I always find these Trump fantasy worlds very bizarre.  He's never in a nice suit meeting a world leader or even in a fireman's suit saving a child from a burning building.  It's always some fake macho outfit and, in this case, driving a car with a Confederate flag on it.  Their heroes don't seem that heroic.

      It's based on old American television show from the 1980s. It was called the Dukes of Hazzard (Hazzard being a county in Georgia) (link). There was also a movie in 2005 with different people.
