This is why we're friends. You make me feel better about cruddy situations. Lol[emoji23]
hopefully you hadn't given him the $65 yet
No. He didn't get the money
atleast the only thing you lost was time right?
Yeah, I guess that's something to smile about.
I ordered a monofin a while ago and was told it was going to arrive on the 3rd/4th of this month. Then they sent me an email stating
"Due to a problem encountered in the logistics plaform of our supplier, we inform you of a change in the availability of the following product."
And the arrival date was changed to the 5th/6th. I didn't mind because I'm not going away til the 6th in the afternoon, I'll get it before I go and be able to swim with it in the hotel pool.
I was sent another email about an hour and a half ago and it stated that my fin wouldn't be arriving til the 9th/10th (Again with problems encountered with supplier, it was exactly the same as the first email). So now there is a sad face and ugly crying as I'm not going to get to try out my new monofin this weekend.
I don't know how many more emails I'm going to receive that informs me I won't be getting my monofin, but I think I'm going to be very sad while I wait
was it swiminn.com /diveinn.com? I had major issues with shipments from them in the past and i'm like one country away. I now NEVER order anything that's out of stock. I placed an order with them for dive belt gear. The weight retainers were out of stock so they said they would ship once the stock came in. That stock came in and the belt itself went out of stock. So then I had to wait for that to come back in stock too. Wouldn't it make sense to yaknow... hold the stock for my order so it doesn't run out when I've already been waiting? *facepalm*Quote:

They were there in 3 mins with the bomb disposal team who took it away to do a controlled detonation. They called back a few weeks later to say it'd been live. She doesn't know if it was an old wartime shell or from her description it was an IRA pipe bomb left behind by someone. How it didn't go off and hurt someone I have no idea. anyways. (p.s *waves to any NSA/MI6 peoples reading this* lol)
I find the story rather amusing. Mum is like this tiny blonde lady and I find it funny that she has this random story in her past that she like never brings up. And I asked if she would mind me posting the story on tumblr just to share something amusing and kinda awesome.
Queue me getting my head bitten off by my older brother out of his over-the-top paranoia. Including telling me that wanting to post it was attention seeking. I ended up trying to explain why he was being silly about it purely because of how rude and harsh he was about it. Mum had already kinda said no to me posting it (my brother kinda spoke over her and before she had a chance to speak for herself) and I was already going to respect her wishes, and even if my brother had said/asked calmly for me not to post it, I wouldn't have at all. But once again I ended up just further getting my head bitten off by him cause everything has to be his way and he is aaalways right. And once again feeling that the argument/discussion was going to go nowhere I just bit my tongue and said 'you know what, nevermind' which happens in this household A LOT. and ONCE AGAIN in this kinda situation when he had left the room shortly after, mum mouthed that she 'knew what I was saying' aka she agreed with me! She seems to never want to say aidan's wrong, but has told me when she thought I was wrong plenty of times. She basically tiptoes around upsetting him. I think it's cause she's scared of bringing out the little part of him that is like my dad. And scared of triggering his mental health issues. Instead she lets him trample all over me.
Just the other month me and him ended up in an arguement that majorly triggered my anxiety, because he was trying to tell me how to cope with my depression. I've beaten depression before. I know what works for me. He was once again telling me not suggesting, and he was 'suggesting' things that I KNOW won't work for me or telling me ways that depression works when I know better than him how my brain works. His works one way and mine works another way. But he got all arsey cause I kept 'shooting down' his 'suggestions' and 'devaluing them' like I was putting him down. When he was the one putting me down and trying to tell me quite forcefully how to act and do things, and essentially telling me I don't know how my brain works. If he'd have said something actually helpful or correct I would and did acknowledge it. He was all arsey with me because I wasn't replying in a certain way to validate him aka like 'I get what you're saying and I'll take it on board' when I'm only going to take on board things that actually help. I was instead explaining why they wouldn't help me and apparently that makes me a bitch. If he genuinely wanted to help me he wouldn't have raised things in such a confrontational way, or escalated it into an argument because all it did like I said, was ratchet my anxiety up a whole bunch more. And also left my anxious mind painfully aware that I was trapped in an armchair in the corner of the room and he was between me and the door so it wasn't like I could just walk away and extricate myself from the situation.
Most of the time he's lovely. But I always end up trying to avoid asking his opinion on anything because almost always it ends up in an argument. But obviously I still can't avoid this kinda situation all the time. If any issues or subject is brought up he HAS to give his opinion and thoughts on the matter and if he isn't immediately validated he gets all up in arms about it. And hates when I try to point out that he does the same to me. If i'm wrong about something he tells me i'm wrong and makes ME feel like i'm an idiot.
ARGHHHHHHH *rant over*

Lilian I volunteer to fly down there and finslap the shit out of him.
I have a hydra clear I was going to sell but I'd imagine the shipping would be extotionate lolQuote:

Oh Elle, I wish I had been able to get my order in sooner so I could have helped you. Im sorry they keep changing shipping on you. So unfair :( with the recent info that has come to light about them and the shipping im very glad I decided to go for a loan to get the order placed sooner. Next monday or tuesday it should be placed!
Dont worry I'll make a second tail one day and I know who I'll be ordering my monofin from :)

Ugh! So the past few weeks i have been working a lot more than i should have
I got no messages from Mernetwork on my gmail account so i thought things were quite or something.
Checked my spam box only to find Mernetwork messages in there.
GRRRRRRR!!!! Why does gmail do that all of a sudden out of nowhere?
* slaps gmail across the face a few times*
:thumbdown: Gmail you suck sometimes!
Mine did the same thing!!! I'm still trying to train it not to throw them away!
Oh no PearlieMae!
What's weird is on one hand i feel bad for you having the same thing going on, on the other hand i'm glad to know i'm not the only one dealing with that sh*t lol
about half of my mernetwork notifications end up in the spam folder. I have no clue what criteria hotmail has for its division
Well...I think I am sick with a cold. Today is the first day of my Spring Break. I really hope this cold goes away quickly because I was planning on doing a lot of things such as swimming in my tail at the beach.
Right now my nose is like a faucet. :(
