Ooh. We [Americans] use oven mitt too, but those are the ones that look like mittens. Pot holders are just really thick fabric squares.
Morigale:
Whenever a child sim uses the telescope, instead of producing a footstool and standing on it, they just kind of twitch a bit and then levitate to the height they'd be if they had a footstool.
The 'Chance cards every day' glitch is back. In three days in this family, I've had four chance cards. The police officer wife got two of the same card two days in a row, then on day three the cat (a stunt double) got a chance card and immediately after the police officer got a different chance card. I selected an option on the first police chance card and the cat's chance card, so that doesn't seem to stop them. They're supposed to be RARE, dammit! (I suspect that this never really went away and was fixed by a MATY hack that just hasn't been updated for Free Time yet.)

An oven glove, or oven mitt, is a insulated mitten that's usually worn in the kitchen to protect the wearer's hand from hot objects like ovens, stoves, cookware etc. Oven gloves can protect the hands against heat for short periods of time. Fabric gloves consist of heat insulation surrounded by cotton fabric, usually consisting of decorative patterns. Newer oven gloves are made from silicone instead of fabric, which makes them water and stain proof

Sigmund:
While we're on the subject of actions being dropped, I've noticed that my sims simply cannot tinker with anything for more than a few seconds, even if I haven't tried to assign anything else. Has anyone else noticed this? It kind of seems to ruin the point of tinkering if they only do it for about two seconds. :-\

Oven glove. A pot holder is a crocheted thing to hang pot plants in. Totally crap and 'seventies'. My nan has one in her bathroom that I think she made herself years ago.
actually that's called macrame, not a potholder ;)
