B!TC# IT OUT!

I hate double posting but my phone doesn't like it when I edit a previous post.

I just got off the phone with Enfamil and discovered something about their "non-GMO" infant formula. Apparently they call it "non-GMO" because only one ingredient (the soy in the vegetable oil) doesn't come from a genetically modified source. Everything else has been modified. The representative on the phone initially tried to bribe me with a lot of coupons and a free container of formula when I pointed out that the ingredient list on their regular infant and non-GMO infant formula was EXACTLY THE SAME DOWN TO THE GRAMS.

It even says on the container it's not guaranteed to be totally free of GMO products because both kinds are made in the same facility and on the same machine (which they claim they clean).

Please keep this in mind if you or anyone you know buys "non-GMO" formula.

Depression is a bitch. I don't know if I need new meds or if something else is making my depression kick into over drive, I just bought 5 new betta fish and I can't even look at them or try to get the tanks set up without feeling extremely depressed. My moods are extremely erratic, but I can't tell if it's because I got my period or what. I also have been having extremely hard time getting out of bed.

Ouch. Hugs, Kelly. It might actually be the period, but talk to your therapist.

I agree with Sabrina. If you want to talk or anything feel free to message me.

I'm dealing with the same thing! period and depression. no motivation, all that jazz, it's the worst. message me if you want to talk, I'm here for you.

Thanks mer-sisters!

When people tell me mermaiding is childish http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...e660952251.jpg

When people tell my mother that:

At a ceremony for a scholarship I got for a field marine bio class. One mom was bragging about her daughter's academic accomplishments. And with my 2.6 GPA? My mom got so salty she started shoving my mermaiding photos in people's faces. Well, MY daughter's a mermaid!

I just about died.

And then she went on an hour long rant about how mermaiding is something real and all of these other kids waste their time on something that ultimately won't mean anything. "And why are they so proud???"

Didn't stop her from full on cursing me out when my next report card came, though. XD

My dad has had this...grudge? Feud? With this guy he knows. This guy has $20,000 horses, and pretty much thinks his poo doesn't stink.

He was bragging about his daughter winning first place at a local rodeo, and my dad whipped out a photo of me in my mermaid tail, on my horse rearing up, and said "yeah? My daughter is a horse riding mermaid! Eat those apples!"

At least your mom is proud of you, and brags about it and approves of your mermaiding.

Yeah, definitely grateful for her support.

And that is basically what my mom did. Lol. Your dad sounds fantastic.

He really is. Old and grumpy, but fantastic as well.

anxious to start a new project but I have no money for supplies. I have a lot of anxiety right now.

Tiny minuscule bitch.

my hair is no longer mermaid hair. It's Basic Asian Bitch hair.

Wha happened?

I've just realized that perhaps my over-acquaintance with death might not be the good thing I generally tout it to be.

"I've got the stages of grief down, I'll never be completely immobilized by the death of a loved one, etc, etc."

But I just realized that whenever a family member doesn't pick up their phone I start freaking out.

I.e, Dad, why is your phone going straight to voicemail, and why are you not freaking here yet?!?!?! I'm starting to get worried.

Aaaand he just texted me back. Classic over reaction from Sabrina.

We'll what happened was I went in thinking I'd get pink ombré hair but I got blonde ombré instead. Miniscule bitch because it doesn't bother me that much because I think it looks pretty ok. Like I look like bill Kaulitz of my hair was straight. Not angry But slightly disappointed I didn't get the pink.

Gotcha. I can understand being somewhat annoyed by it, though. *sympathy*

Well today was an emotional upsetting day :(

My husband's grandfather passed away Monday morning and Friday was the funeral. My husband and the family were extremely close to their grandfather. My husband considered that man a father and a best friend. It was a very sad day. We played his favorite song and I bawled like a baby. I'll always remember the happy times though.

Oh Ava. Hugs to you.

Thank you

I'm so sorry Ava, sending virtual hugs

I was going to start on the fluke of my tail, and I can't find the rest of my black lycra. I have looked everywhere.

I don't even need a yard of fabric. Its so frustrating, so I'm going to have to go to the fabric store just to buy a single yard of black lycra, even though I know I have some around here SOMEWHERE.

Ouch.


A friend of mine was planning on attending the local community college and continuing to stay with his grandparents until he finished his education and got a job.

They're shipping him to Arizona tp live with his mom. She's six years sober, but he still can't trust her and I just want to punch things.

How do you deal with a ballooning fluke? Its really hard to swim in it after a while cause its so engorged and floaty

If its fabric, undo the seams of the fluke edge and sew in some fin lines.

Its a silicone haha sorry i should have specified. It was a custom tail not made by me.

Does it not have drainage holes?

Yeah only two but the others are sealed up. I think they sealed on accident when she sandwiched it together.

Maybe a helpful tailmaker could give some help?
Pearlie might be able to give some advice.

I hope!

Y'all are gonna love this one, me and my husband were doing what married couple's do, it was sweet, nice....he said something, and I could have SWORN he said "Hodor".....


He hasn't let me live it down, and in fact told my sister, and some of my cooler family.
As I was hanging out at out family get together to honor and remember my grandfather and those who have fallen, all I heard was "Hodor, hodor hodor!"

😓

I feel like such a prude at times, when I tell folks that even though I am a gamer I do not like GoT. It's too violent, vulgar, and over the top for me. Mind you, the first episode I tried to watch was Red Wedding. ;)

Yikes! The red wedding definitely made me want to stop watching. But through it all, I couldn't...too much that I needed answered.

And you aren't a prude just because of that!
I love gaming and fantasy, and superheroes, and weird shows, but I am having a hard time getting into "The Flash"
"Supernatural"
"The Arrow"
My husband is getting agitated at me for it because we cant figure out why I don't really like it.

So I just got a new job (I would really rather not say where to keep people's peace of mind. But just know, a lot of you tail receivers may encounter this place. And if you have complaints, I now know why)
But yea.... Its horrible. Ya know how they give u training videos and stuff before they put you to work? Well, yeah, no, this shit was nothing like how thy said.
First of all, they want us to be very careful...but they also want us to be quick. They want us to do things individually giving everything attention, but if we do that, we will fall behind and get yelled at or fired. Its hot as shit, and worst of all, I work alone. I cannot do this by myself, and everyone else has partner but me, and I'm like what the living fuck? Things go by so much quicker and more efficiently with a partner.
But I am hanging in there. I really need the money, afterall. I 100% feel that I will be fired. This is a very physically demanding job, and I don't have the height or muscle mass for this.

Good luck!

Because the show diminishes each and every single powerful woman to nothing except people that men could fuck.
Because the actresses are always in the nude and for some reason the males aren't. Was so different than the first season when everyone was nekkid.
Because there is never a happy ending and the villains always win.
Because in the show any woman who had previous sexual relations always "wants it" according to the director.

Need I continue?

yeeeeep. that's how i feel. (also, to me, on flash and arrow, the female characters just aren't written well. like, they very often will have female characters do something that 100% does not make sense or is not logical for their personality and backstory, so like with the guys they are rounded out and stick to their personality but with the girls it's like "every woman must go through uncharateristic mood swings and do stuff that if you actually know their personality, they would never ever do because women are fickle, haha." bullcrap.

like, writing a well rounded female character is just like writing a well rounded male character? it's really not that difficult -_-; what matters are the charaters desires and motivations and then the logical actions they would do considering those first 2 things, i mean, damn.

I hate how all of the women end up being raped and taken advantage of. And I hate how they show it. It makes my stomach turn and whenever I try to bring it up the argument is always "Well it's supposed to be realistic. In a time like that, those things happened."
If we're going realism where are the thousands of troops dying from cholera? Why aren't people walking around with their faces falling off from untreated Syphilis? Because I have my reservations and refuse to fully watch the show, I can't make a solid argument against it, and I acknowledge that. But from what I've seen, I'm not a fan.
