Results are in. Kidneys are fine, something strange is going on in the liver. She needs an ultrasound. They said it's likely not FIP, which is what killed her brother. Could be a lot of other things though.

Good luck!!!
Stella I'm glad that your cat is looking positive so far. I really hope she pulls through. Hugs! :hug:
Well on my side, the significant other just broke up with me. Not much of a bitch, but more of a bummer. We weren't together for very long, only a month, but I really liked her. Like a lot. Oh well. I was going to be really cheesy and ask her to the winter formal dance with a big sign and balloons, but I guess that was blown.
One of my good friends is taking me out to the dance now so we're just going to party the night away together :yay:
Hugs to Kalani
Just a little vent that is not really a problem just wanna get it out. SOOOOOOOOO Some of these Mers in the whole community are some of the most irritating people ever! First off, some Mer named Mer Cass Aurora or whatever the hell, tried to call me racist for a post I made on fb. I am definitely highly opinionated when it comes to pro-black liberation and uplifting my people, if you don't like it, I could honestly give a shit less, but pro-black is not anti-white! IF you think it is, you're dumb, I have been dating the same white man for almost 3 1/2 year, gtfo here with that BS! Secondly, I don't see how some of them think that because you added me as a "Friend" on fb you can talk to me any ol way; NO, you will get cussed out in .02 seconds, like I don't know you like that, so don't be surprised! And lastly, bad mouthing me to other mers is annoying and childish unless it's an actual problem, if its not stfu and keep it pushing. I'm over it now lol
Naww! Poor fishy! Would you like to learn the MEGA FIN SLAP? Mega Fin Slap em all into oblivion because that's where they belong.Quote:

A few years ago, I was the lead character in an anime con show called "The Final Fantasy Ball". I had a great time then, and I dont regret the experience, but the con owner and I had a disagreement later down the line. I was eventually banned from this convention, because the con owner saw me as a threat for calling him out on shady business practices.
Fast forward a couple years, and I befriended a guy who was also badly hurt from this con owner. He even saved me from attempting suicide last year. I divulged my deepest secrets and innermost thoughts to him, and he told me about how life with this other guy was hell and he even treated his own wife and (third) son like crap. I encouraged him to call CPS on the guy to save the child from further neglect and abuse.
This week, I discovered that there is going to be a HUGE cast party for everyone who has ever been cast in the Final Fantasy Ball. I miss my friends, and since I'm no longer associated with the con, I dont get to see them often, if at all. It turns out that I am purposely not invited to this event.
Why?
Because that close friend that I trusted decided to become friends with the asshole con owner again, and has divulged all of my secrets to him, which in turn, got twisted and spread to the entire active con community. Now all of my "friends" believe that I am actively trying to take away babies for no reason, slandering the convention at any given opportunity, and am faking being bipolar for attention. So none of them want to see me or speak to me anymore.
In a matter of a week, I lost close to a hundred friends, because of rumors. None of them are willing to stand up to the rumors, or even ask me about them.
What's worse, is that today I entered a depressive episode, and I'm too afraid to reach out to anybody for help. Nobody will believe me.
I have a zero tolerance policy for that kind of BS attitude. I unfriended right away and moved on.Quote:

I am so frustrated and done I don't know how much more I can handle. I just found out on my way to work today that my own uncle may have just screwed us over and cost my dad, myself, and my cats our house because he misses being able to spend money without caring basically! To start the story my dad is in IT and has been in computers since they first came around. But two years ago the company he was working for got bought out and he was laid off along with most of the employees from his company during the merger. No big deal right? Well per the contract from the buy out he had to sign a non-compete clause and he would recieve a $200,000 check. He figured okay I'll take it and I just wont go into video conferencing for the year and a half the contract states. However the market crashed again and no one was hiring and he got really screwed. At the time he got laid off I was bed-ridden most of the time and working 6 hour weeks at a local restaurant as a server. I suffer from about 5 chronic conditions that drastically effect my life and make it very hard on myself and my family and boyfriend. In this time he did some odd jobs and we just lived off the check from the merger. I eventually found full time work and got my health mostly in check but by then the money had run out, I have lots of medical bills and we were out of credit too. Flash forward and he finally got in with a new IT contracting company run by a really old friend along with my uncle and things were finally looking up. But we noticed things started getting shady and that his boss kept telling the guys that he couldn't afford to pay them right now even though they have been working the jobs like crazy. Come to find out that my uncle cooked a deal with the boss to bring in $12,000 a month regardless of if he is actually doing any work. He doesn't need that much money and because of it no one else is getting paid. Then find out he had dad pulled off two contracts so he could have them too but then the contracts fell through because my uncle has a bad rap in the industry as being a problem child.
So now while my boyfriend was planning to move back in with me and my father was suppose to be leaving the state for work for 6 months to a year. Instead we find out that come March we might be homeless and I can't afford to go anywhere let alone take care of both of us. And my dad has diabetes which keeps costs high too. I'm really freaked out and no one has answers on if this will right itself and because of it I had a pain flare up and I'm shaking so bad at work and I feel sick and exhausted and my skin is crawling. I am also the youngest of 4 and none of my sibling care or are even willing to help. They all say they are better off without our dad just because he doesn't believe in playing their BS greedy games. Sorry to just whine a bunch but I don't even have anyone to vent too because I have been takin care of him full time since I wsa 16 and my boyfriend and I both work full time in conflicting schedules and by the time he gets home I am just a pile of nothingness in the corner usually. And worse I have a big family dinner coming up and I am gonna have to sit there with my uncle and pretend that he isn't pretty much number one on my "you're dead to me" list. this isn't the first time he has done this and it wont be the last. Not to mention he isn't even support his family. My two eldest cousins (18 and 20) are supporting their whole family while one is taking 19 units in a premed program and working two jobs and the other is running his own business. So what did he really need the $12,000 for? Was it really worth making part of your family homeless?!?!
Omg that's awful! I know the struggle of friends who are not trustworthy and betray that trust you have. People always say to bipolar people your faking it but it bothers me that they don't know the real struggle so reading this hit so close to home. Dam people can be such a-holes it's like you can't trust anyone these days because as soon as they find someone else that means more to them they ditch you!!! Hang in there there are much better people out there.Quote:

No one is that heartless to screw a deal and make his whole family at risks and homeless.. I hope so for your sake that things will look up and work out. Keep us updated.Quote:

My boyfriend finally got up for work so he knows and now he is all mad. Luckily after 5 years I know him well enough to know he isn't mad at me but he is super worried. most of my conditions are stress sensitive. I'm just hoping we get answers soon. I can't handle taking on another job. I work 40 hrs a week at an office and run my own business both entertaining and making costume props so I already don't really have any "me" time let alone time to take on another job unless I took a night job and just stopped sleeping.
I really really hate humanity sometimes.

I saw that on Facebook. The first photo is enough to bring me to tears. Heartbreaking doesn't even begin to cover it.Quote:

Just to let everyone know I've read every single post here... And I offer you my deepest sympathies, express the greatest anger, and flipping all the tables.
We have more information. It's lymphoma. She started chemo today. I'm so nervous. She's still my little baby, she doesn't deserve to go through all of this.
Try to keep your hope and mentality up Mermaid Mystery: the stronger you are, the less stress your pet will feel and hopefully, it will help you significantly as well. Animals are extremely resilient even when they are so sick. My dog has had an extremely aggressive form of cancer which, in the week preceding the visit to the vet, made her feel terrible, so much so that she did very little other than eat small amounts. Even then, and after the sudden surgery which left her in a bit of pain (even on the meds) and the lessened her mobility for several months, she still was pretty happy and continued to fight to get back to her normal self.Quote:

Update on my story: I contacted a friend of mine who has close ties to the con community and asked why I wasn't invited. The people running the event said that they won't go into detail, but I am definitely not welcome there. If I want to get back on their good graces, I can talk to them after the party is over and apologize.
F that. I'm not apologizing for anything. And I'm not kissing anyone's butt so that I can have friends again.
Bye Felicia.
Hugs to all!
Stressed beyond, Im currently having trouble coping with something, other than my health.
How do I handle someone who is spiteful and two faced to me, and who has disrespected my family. The problem is, there are people who see this person as sweet and nice, but this person has that 'holier that thou' attitude and even has gone as far as having others spy on me, what I do, where I go, only to talk about me behind my back (and you wonder why im such an introvert). I try to avoid them as much as possible, but it continues on.
I feel that If I tell them something I'll get ripped apart by their 'groupies', and be forever labeled as a mean person. But at the same time I don't want to be a doormat. Im sorry but Im so tired of it.
-----
I Also want to add in that Im super tired of being Copied, in other things. Being a copycat doesn't make you better than the original. There was a person in one of my groups who alot of my members were not fond of because this person was known to not only cause drama but talk about people behind their back, unfortunately someone added them into the group and I was consistently messaged (by group members mind you) to have that person removed from the group. I did remove that person, suddenly they create a group not even a few hours later. I mean really.. No interest in things what so ever, suddenly I bend to my group only for this person to go and do this.
Really tired of the spiteful things, you think at their age they would have grown out of their teenage antics. I do what's best for my groups, if they don't feel safe or comfortable with this person (myself included) , I wont have them there. Im tired of being the bigger person and holding my tongue, that's for sure.
I feel like a bad lizard mom because my babby is borderline obese because whenever my mom feeds her she gives in to those puppy dog eyes and gives her too much. She's been on a diet but she's not losing any weight. I stopped feeding her crickets because she never eats them and they're annoying and more likely to carry parasites but they were her main source of exercise. I have no lizard-proof areas in the house and I've got other pets so I have almost nowhere to walk her. I don't know what to do I feel so terrible.
Ouch. Good luck. Maybe knit or crochet a little lizard harness so you can bring her outside?
Wellp, it's come to the point where, depending on how things go this summer... I might just end up selling my tail.
It's nothing with the tail itself, it's just that the ban here in town is just getting worse, not better— my old spot's "thinking" about lifting the ban when their new center opens, but it's still not for certain... The only place I can find that's (apparently) letting people swim there is like three towns over and almost a half hour's drive. I don't have a car, I don't drive, and I can't justify suckering someone into driving that far out just so I can swim for less than an hour.
And I'm terrible at talking to people about this because of my anxiety, like I have to spend thirty minutes just to hype myself up to make a single phonecall anywhere and then I just feel sick afterwards. I'm bad at talking to people I don't know, I can't take the lead on anything so I'd never get anything done with a petition...
I've had my tail for almost a year and swam in it twice. It's a thousand-dollar piece of closet space, and it's breaking my fuckin' heart. But there's nowhere indoors where I can take it, and there's maybe a month and a half in the year where the water's even manageable enough for outdoor swimming here...
I dunno, man. I'm just really fucking bummed lately.
I got my leggings from Lotus and all went well
Please disregard last post. It was meant as a response to a waaayyy earlier topic and my phone just now caught up >< dangit tapatalk.
Mystery I'm so sorry to hear... And don't sell your tail Tieri! Murphies law as soon as you sell it they'll lift the ban
I've thought about it, it's too cold right now but idk. she might be too small for a harness.Quote:

I'm researching it, it would have to be pretty big though. Hamster wheels cause spinal issues if they aren't big enough, and smiles is a big longer than the average hamster haha. I don't know if she would know what to do.
Same with us here, the bans are getting f$^#en rediculous, literally the only place we have is the ocean where kids can hurt themselves even more. No one will listen to reason and the fact it was some idiot's fault.
The ocean isn't even an option where I live— not only is the water insanely cold, but the tides and undercurrents are both unpredictable and REALLY strong, so it's easy to get hurt or worse if you're not careful— and where I'm still only learning with my tail (largely because NOBODY WILL LET ME SWIM IN THE BLOODY THING AAARRRGGHHH), that's not a risk I feel comfortable taking.
Le sigh.
I love being ignored.
Oh wait....no....I hate it.
But I always seem to be. I guess I say things or do things that people don't like. I get that but if no one ever fucking tells me what I'm doing, how in the hell can I stop?
Ouch, Sherielle. Definitely been in that situation before.
