I'm just so done with this particular girl in my drama class. There's no point in reasoning with her because she never listens. Telling me what to do when she NEVER contributes. I'm just.so.done. *facepalm*

We seem to have the worst luck when it comes to vacations.
The day before the vacation: My home AC decides to fail. At the time we are having the worst heat wave of the year, with temperatures over 100F. Not too much of an issue, except for our three cats, who will be left alone in a hot house.
I call a repair guy to come out. Its Sunday, so its expensive. He cannot find anything easy to fix, says it looks like the compressor. He needs to talk to the manufacturer (which means he needs to come back on a weekday), to be sure.
My step son and daughter visit the house once a day to check on things, and they say they know someone. I let them call that someone to look at it on Tuesday, our travel day. We get to the airport, board the plane, and sit. And sit. And sit. An hour later they say the plane's #2 AC is broken, and to lock it out they need to turn off #1, which means unloading the passengers, doing the work, and re-loading. (The flight can proceed with just one AC, but its an hour to lock out the broken unit, so they were trying to fix the broken unit first. But eventually they had to just go with it.) While we are in the middle of re-loading, I get a call from the AC repair people. It is the compressor, and its $6500 for a new unit. Two silicone tails. With little choice, I tell them to proceed, all the while trying to get through the line to get on the plane.
Of course, due to the delay, we miss the connecting flight. Fortunately, while we were unloaded, we got a replacement flight.
We get to the destination, but our luggage does not. It did not make the flight change. The luggage with my tail in it.
We get to the house we are renting. I check my e-mail. The quote from the repair people is in it. The quote I was given over the phone was wrong: At the time he did not realize I have a fancy, high efficiency unit ( a SEER 16, two stage whole house heat pump.) A new unit is $8500. Three tails.
Recovery: I decide to let the first guy take a second look and give me his quote.
The airline delivers our lost luggage. We were missing it for only 18 hours.
The original repair guy notices that my AC is still under warranty (nice of repair people #2 to not mention that), but installation of a new compressor is a messy job. So its going to cost $1800, but that's still almost $7000 less than before.
This afternoon: Time to walk across the street and go for a tail swim in the gulf of Mexico. Maybe there will be a thunderstorm sometime today. I can see one in the distance.....
OK, dealing with two pigs on another message site who are being nasty, harassing, evil, vile, and egotistical. I'm banned suddenly and have not been told why. I and others are being treated horribly and those of us who have gone through the proper channels are being ignored and permanently banned. The two in authority are abusing their stations, and harassing peopl. The one told my friend to choose between his FIANCEE and being his 'friend' they've purposely harassed these two by encouraging people to flirt with the guy in order to get the girl angry so that they could ban her. This is worse, because the two in authority used to be very close friends of mine and once upon a time they weren't giant assholes. I tried to speak kindly and honestly with the one and he yelled at me because suddenly the offshoot site that has been around longer than he has is supposedly breaking rules, even though there are a lot of these kinds of sites. Anyways I've been registered there since '03 and can't believe how horribly I and a massive number of others are being treated because someone has a giant ego. Cried and had stomach problems and nearly threw up. I've managed some cereal tonight for dinner but that's it...
Someone called me out on IG because I support SeaWorld. They asked me to watch "Blackfish" to change my mind.
I'm doing my best not to start a flame war here as well, so let's just say that I'm not moving on my stance, and I'm really irritated with people who try to convince me otherwise.
Some people should mind their own business. Agree to disagree. I dont personally agree with seaworld, but I have my own reasons as to why I don't. And I'm sure you have your reasons as to why you support them. It's not right to bring it up publicly like on IG and make a big ordeal over it.
I understand some of the reasons people support it. Everything is like this, unfortunately, "if you dont agree with what I believe in-you're automatically wrong, and a terrible person."
I recently got yelled at on IG through comments where everyone could see and join in, because I'm not T TOTALLY against using a bit on a horse. I agree that some people use them to an extreme extent, but when used properly, and the right bit is used with a delicate hand, it's a handy learning tool.
Breastfeeding vs bottle feeding Is the same way
As is pretty much everything, you just gotta ignore it and not let it get you riled up.
Oh man... I'm also a supporter of breast feeding, and get a little upset when I have anti-vax friends that post the same picture of the baby doll with all of the shots hanging out of it.
I hate my bank sometimes.
So I recieve an email today at 5pm saying that I need to activate my new debit card that has a chip in it. They go on to say that they will be deactivating my current debit card on 7/12/2016.
Here's the thing, I didnt recieve a new debit card with a chip. It hasn't been activated,because I dont have it.
So I call customer support, and the dude on the line has no idea what I'm talking about and says I just need to activate my new card. and I have to mansplain to him that I dont have one. Finally the poor bloke catches on, and says they will mail a new chip debit card to me.
the best part? My current debit card will be deactivated until the new one arrives. over 2 weeks earlier than they said in the email. excuse me? And when I explained that was unacceptable, as I dont use credit, and pay all of my bills and handle business transactions through that card number, it needs to stay open and available. Apparently the banks solution was to tell me to get a temp card from my local branch, which means going through ALL OF MY AUTO PAY ACCOUNTS and changing the card number, and dealing with the verification of that process, only to have to do that AGAIN when the official new card arrives that has a chip in it.
So basically my bank has locked up my debit account for at least 2 weeks, with no solution for me. and my bills are due in a week.
I know its not the customer service guys fault, he's just the messenger, and I was trying to not be an ass to him. But damnit. I hate my bank right now.
Getting reaaaal tired of a certain mer appropriating other people's culture and being hella racist. ��☕️
I feel ya, SeaGlass.
Is there a story for the drama thread? I'm kinda interested.
This. I'm ready for tea time [emoji196]☕️Quote:

I am 28 weeks along on Thursday, which is also the day I go in for my second ultrasound, and my glucose test. Meaning-i have to drink some horrible tasting punch stuff, then have blood drawn to check my sugar levels.
I dont care to drink the punch, but I frakkin hate having my blood pulled.
Haaaaaate it. I'd rather have to eat nothing but oatmeal for the rest of my life than have my blood drawn.
I am more nervous for getting my blood drawn than I am for delivery to be quite honest.
I have one tattoo, probably will never get another, because just the idea of needles, and essentially, it was more of a "hes already started permanently drawing on my skin, i have to let him finish."
Good luck, Shimmer!
Good luck Shimmer - hopefully it won't be as bad as your dreading!
I can sympathise to a certain extent as I hate having blood drawn and usually go light headed... I'm surprised they're resorting to that if it's just glucose testing, though - surely that could just be done using a finger prick?
Either way, good luck! It'll all be worth it in the end. [emoji4]

May be TMI: but oh well
My husband is at work and sent me a text essentially asking me to send him a boob picture, which I don't mind, we've sexted before, what married couple hasn't done something similar?
So I'm usually like "yaaaas I love my breasts, they are so nice, and I love the shape, and everything." essentially my boob confidence is through the roof most times.
Well I went to go take a pic, and well, I'm pregnant, my boobs have changed. I feel like I'm rocking a pair of traffic cones with eyes.
Either way, I sent the pic, and he's praising my chest, and I feel like I've lost my breast confidence.
My chest has gotten bigger since getting pregnant, I feel unappreciative of my mammary glands and I dont know what even to say. 😓
Wrong thread. Whoops

It's that moment when they go from being passive organs to food source. I found that loading up on comfy yet super cute bras and nice tops helped a LOT during both of my pregnancies
My kind of feel the same. They are starting to become less perky, and feel like lead weights. The smaller one is catching up the other, but even still its smaller in comparison. Not to mention stretch marks.. :( youre not alone at all.. my husband still loves them though hahaQuote:

My nipples feel like when you get a shirt with a decal a tad too small, then put it on and it stretches the decal. My nips are the decals.
Hahaha! Awww! I feel for you!
If I can offer a little advice from the far side of the age spectrum, one day you will reach an age where you wish you had all that time back that you wasted worrying about your boobs/belly/butt/wrinkles/etc.
BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY TELL YOU YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Old Pearlie, PEACE OUT! ;)
Not really a bitch, not really not. I haven't been riding my horses as much lately because I feel like I'm too unbalanced, this has caused me to lose almost all of the muscle from my legs. The doctor said I could still ride, just go easy, but I got my hella toned legs from jumping and running on my horses, which obviously I'm not going to do
While so far along.
Oh my god your hair is so longggg..! I only dream of that kind of hair! I just cut all of the deadness off my head with curls it is so short now.

I have so much anxiety???? like I don't even eat lunch at work bc I'm so anxious it kills me. and I have to improvise a mermaid top in the next week and get time off and aaaaaaaaaa
So I got my Mahina Merfin tuesday, it is now Saturday.
When I go swimming, I go to my uncles pool a couple of towns over, I have privacy, and am able to just do my thing.
Wednesday we went swimming, I have to take my little sister, otherwise I get bitched at for not including her and essentially told by my uncle that I can't swim there unless I'm considerate to her.
Which i am totally fine with. No problem taking her at all. But Wednesday when I was TRYING to test my monofin that I got SO I COULD STAY IN SHAPE WHILE PREGNANT, every four seconds my sister demanded I hand off my monofin. Which i-again- had no problem doing because I wanted to see how it did on differently shaped feet and different swimming methods so I could give it a review from more than just one person.
But my sister keeps demanding I let her have the fin every time I turn around, every time we swim. I told her that she can get herself a finfun since she has a job, and only wants to play in it, not for fitness, and I'm trying to swim with it as much as possible because I'm trying to stay in shape (my doctor actually informed me that the dolphin kick with the fin will actually help strengthen the muscles in my stomach needed for labor) and essentially got told that I'm a selfish bitch. Her friend agreed with Me(her friends sister is also pregnant). But then we both got told we were assholes.
If she goes to the pool without inviting me, nobody bats a damn eye, But if I do the same thing, I get bitched at and told not to come back unless I'm "nicer" to her and "considerate to her feelings" when they don't put her up to the same standard.
My husband works almost all day, and when he gets home, it's dark and too late to go to the lake to swim.
She's 16, has a load of friends to swim with and WAY more opportunities than I do.
Not only that, but at the moment, me and my husband only have one vehicle between us.
While my sister has her own truck.
When we go to the pool, my dad tells us to use his big truck so we can fit the fin, towels, etc.
It has begun to piss me off beyond belief because I don't want to have the stress of fighting with her if she chooses to pick a fight over the fin when we swim, so it's caused me to put off swimming at all. But I don't want to stop swimming especially since I can't ride my horses to stay in shape.
*hug*
I hope your sister buys herself a fin.
I do too. I feel so bad because I feel like I'm being selfish, but my husband bought it for me because I wanted a new one for fitness and if I'm only getting to swim in it for a minute or two, then have to wait however long she decided she wants to swim in it, only to have the same thing happen a few minutes later, I may as well stay home.
Wait, she is 16 and you have to take her along!? At first I when I was reading this I expected her to be younger, but heck at that age you shouldn't be having to take her along every time. Is there any way you could find somewhere else to swim and not tell her or your uncle?
Our local pools are constantly filled with people, and some don't allow fins of any sort. The only other place would be the lake, but me and my husband only have one vehicle and he takes it to work everyday, and the lake I wouldn't want to go without him.
We were talking about getting an above ground pool, and using that until we finish our pool.
Wow...I'm so sorry, Shimmer. I hope you actually get the above ground pool.
I was expecting her to be a little girl when you I first read the story. Gosh, I'm sixteen and I don't even remember the last time any one of my friends or myself acted like that... no offense. And those double standards are such a bother, I understand that :(
You need to encourage her to buy a fin of her own if she wants it so badly, and remind everyone else that the fin you're wearing is yours. Maybe you can get her friend to persuade her as well? It seems like she understands.
Hugs!
Tell her to stop acting like a spoiled brat and get her own freakin' fin!
Seriously! Why are you letting her boss you around? If you have to share, get a timer and split the fin usage into half hour intervals. If she doesn't like it, she can stay her ass at home.
With a stressful situation like that sometimes it's easier to say fuck it. I learned that one the hard way when I was pregnant.
And here we see the bad cop, er, siren :lol:Quote:

Basically, I tried to argue against Allen Sherrod with news articles as preliminary searches for evidence, but I could have been nicer and not call him a dick or an asshole. He did get extremely rude, and I have the screenshots to prove it. However, I do want apologize for my part.
Basically, the meme said that:
Attachment 37750
My response to this was that I thought it was wrong and that I never heard a democrat or Muslim say this ever. I have no idea how a comment like this turned into what it did. I have family that served in the military, and even my oldest brother including me have given the military service an honest thought. My brother has sericeous, and he was declined, and I have Bipolar Disorder and ADHD. The odds of me ever getting an honest chance at the military is almost non existent along with many careers. I can't believe I was such a fool to get baited into this.
I'm thinking that sharing this here will escalate things...this might have been a bad idea. If it wasn't for the threat to beat me up....
Well if it makes you feel any better Dylan, I can't open any of your attachments.
