Could be lost in translation, but the term "replicate" irks me as that implies copying exactly.

Call them out. That's ridiculous, it hasn't even been 24 hours.
I sent her a PM. We'll see what she says, if she replies at all.Quote:

That's so disrespectful, holy carp. I'll never understand why people think comments like that are okay. :/
That said, Rogue, I saw the pictures shared on my newsfeed earlier and that top is GORGEOUS! <3 I can't wait to see it when it's finished!
I banned them from the page and deleted their comments after I took screenshots. Sent her a message that was probably way too kind, but I told her the comment was rude and disrespectful, and told her that making a copy is a form of stealing. She can try making a top with lights if that's her thing, but it's not easy. Just don't "replicate" it
And thank you, Tieri!
That's really a mature, reasonable response! Nice! I hope it all works out! ^-^Quote:

I'm glad that worked out.
It's been a year or more since my mom got into a accident and got a DUI, I think she stopped taking her medicine a month ago and started drinking again. I don't know how to feel, I don't know if I'm angry or sad or frustrated. It just seems like everything was going right for a while but now it's going to go down the drain.

Oh Kelly. That's awful.
That's so tough to watch, Kelly. I'm so sorry. It sounds like there may be a deeper issue at play. I'll be praying for you and your mom. That's just so disheartening. :( :hug:Quote:

Just the other day my parents got a bunch of free fruit from a nice farming family we know. Just this morning we got a call that the wife committed suicide. :cry:
So far all we know is she was having an argument with her husband about a sandwich (we don't know if she made him a sandwich and he complained about it or something) but anyways things escalated so much in the argument that she went and got a gun and shot herself in the head in front of her husband. She leaves behind several sons, the youngest I think is 12.
I just wish she would have known that her life was worth living... We are all really shaken up right now and I just feel so sorry for their family.
That's so sad to hear :(
But I think there might have been more going on then an argument about a sandwich. So sad she can't be helped now
So, I try to keep pretty quiet about this sort of thing, but I'm seriously just pissed right now and there's nothing I can do. I'm on a birth control device called Nexplanon that is inserted under the skin of the arm. It is the most effective type of birth control out there, but it's basically been hell for me. I have a literal laundry list of side effects that get worse daily and nothing works to stem the tide. I don't look, feel, or act like the same person anymore and it's awful. My poor husband has had to watch my anxiety and depression sky rocket, deal with my daily mood swings, and watch me basically spiral out of control. I've gained 65 pounds with MORE diet and exercise than before the stupid device went in, I've developed cystic acne, I have daily debilitating migraines, and I have the equivalent of morning sickness at least twice a week.
Honestly, the thing that pissed me off the most is that they don't warn people about these side effects. Sure, they half-heartedly list a few things, but nothing like what a great majority of users actually go through. If I had known that this was going to be my experience, I never would have gotten the little fucker put in to begin with!
I'm scheduled to get my implant removed in a few days, but I've been warned that it could be months before I'm back to my old self and that some of the effects, like the anxiety, could stick around for good. So, yeah, there's my little rant. Thanks for reading.
Girl, I feel you. It's crap too, because there's totally a male birth control option in other countries with almost 100% success rate and no side effects. The FDA just hates women or something, and men don't wanna know they're shooting blanks. Grrrrr....Quote:

Best wishes and good thoughts for your recovery.

My friend was on that I believe. Supposed to last 4 years apparently. She got it last year but she's 37 weeks pregnant now.
Edit: I've heard the shot is so bad. I've had a similar bleeding experience, but it was 2 months. I also had the anemia problem. I'm on a stable pill right now but I want to change without the crazy side effects of everything.
That is awful. Awful, awful, awful.
All of the above. Awful. A friend of mine was on the more regular Pill. She had to have an abortion last year and she's still suffering from the resulting depression.
On another note: my grandmother's rather consequential one night stand is dying, so my mother and I are rushing out to Texas to see him. I had work today but completely forgot about it till approximately 10:30 pm. I REALLY hope I don't get fired. I mean, my boss is really super chill, but still.
Plus I don't ready want my grandpa dying yet, when I've met him all of once and considered my grandma's current husband to be my grandpa in all ways that really matter.
I just don't know him, so I feel a terrible sense of incompletion.
Dear lord! that's horrible! I also have the implant (same one I think) and I was warned about the side effects, but thankfully I haven't had any besides that I've gained a lot of hip weight (and I mean A LOT. I used to wear size 3 pants now none of my pants fit but my stretchy pants. my butt is so nice tho lol) They had warned me about the possibility to bleed continuously for months (though they said if it goes longer than 3 months to immediately get it removed). My mom had all the same effects you had though (including the bleeding for months straight) so we were worried I'd have the same reaction.
I can't wait till they release the male birth control tho, because while freaking people out when they touch my arm is cool, I don't really appreciate the way I eat 5 horses a day.
Wait. So let me get this straight. It's a male birth control option that makes us sterile? :thinks:Quote:

It's not offered in the us because (as I heard) there actually are potential side effects. They include nausea, irritability, and some other things that sound exactly like the side effects of the pill. It was ruled too "inhumane" to approve. Like. O...k..... Excuse me as I fling myself into the sun.

Honestly yes, whilst I think if there is a male form of birth control that's 100% effective and has no side effect then there is no reason we should have to deal with all the crap we do for our birth control when boys could.
However! And I want to stress I mean no offence to the sirs of Mernetwork, as I'm talking mostly about those irresponsible children who just have a lot of one night stands. personally i wouldn't trust most boys to remember to take it, or be honest about whether they are actually on it. Especially for those who may have more casual sex. Let's be honest there is just less pressure for the men. If we forget to take our pill we may fall pregnant. A lot of casual sex guys may not care if they knock up a girl. They can just run off and there is no responsibility for them.
And don't even get me started on the price. I'm mostly bitching about my ex here, but one time he complained and said I should buy the next lot of condoms and I went into a full on rage and informed him very loudly how much my birth control cost me and that sure, I'll get the next lot and he can pay $90 for my next lot of pills if that's how he wants it. (I buy them in 3 month lots) sorry for the personal rant.
Also I am on a great pill at the moment which I take purely to control my hormones ATM since I haven't had sex in over a year and don't plan to any time soon. So i wouldn't stop taking it even if there was a pill for men. It has cleared up my face perfectly (before I was on it my skin was so bad I had no self confidence) and I enjoy that I can control and predict that time of the month. It has also helped with the facial hair problem I had. And I've noticed no side effects. I've gained a small amount of weight since being on it but that's probably more laziness than anything.

I'm on my second nexplanon, the one I have now was only put in like two weeks ago. Apart from some unpredictable and long ones when I first switched to the implant.... Not had a period in more than 2 years. I struggle to loose weight and have acne but I was the same before anyway. I think I must be one of the lucky ones!

I feel your pain ladies. Like I can actually feel the pain. In the uterus. :(
i also think hunk that the U.S. doesnt want men to be responsible for contraception because "it's a woman thing"
like no. It takes two to tango. One to spread and one to insert. Seriously. Make men responsible too. It's just so stupid. AGH!
like I am pretty thankful that I don't have any side effects aside from the slight weight gain and acne the first few months (they're gone now and I'm also slimming down) but I can't imagine the shit the rest of you guys must go through.
(this is where I do the Menopause Happy Dance :yay: )
Lorelei, that's awful you are having such ill effects of the bc. I had to completely get off of bc due to the daily migraines. My husband volunteered to get 'snipped' so I could.
I don't get it.
As a guy, I feel it's totally normal to share responsibility. Like Sea Glass said, it takes two to tango. I'm gay so I might not be concerned but if I were straight, I would take it. To say that it's a "woman" thing is bullshit and a pathetic excuse.
Knowing how straight guys tend to say ANYTHING to get laid, women have learned not to trust anything they say, ever. I'd never trust a guy who said they were taking the Man Pill.
Wow, sorry, I really wasn't expecting to cause such a stir. O.O'
I really appreciate everyone's kind words. They do help immensely.
The hubby and I have been talking about some other options instead of birth control because it's become clear that hormone-anythings screw up my system. The top option at the moment is a tubal ligation with an endometrial ablation. Basically, I'd never be able to get pregnant ever. Which is just fine with me, considering my serious tocophobia.
And I'm just going to leave this here for those talking about the Man-pill.

Yeah... I agree. Most men are pigs. Even on the gay side. They would say anything to prove they are negative to lay off the condoms and fuck raw.Quote:

I guess I should just :saynothing:
Que pasa qui?
Oh, nothing, really...in the big scheme of things.
Sending hugs
sending hugs pearlie! and I thought male birth control was an injection of a liquid that turns into a gel and blocks the ductus deferens?
Or you know they can get their balls detached :P is that how a vasectomy works?
