I don't care about Pokemon either. My husband's trying to convince me of its awesomeness but I'm not feelin it.

Well, that's what the "Just Talk" section is for. Not everyone wants to talk about solely mermaiding 24/7.
So take it to Facebook. This IS a mermaid forum.Quote:

No, you didn't break a rule and this is the BITCH IT OUT section.
Me? RUDE?

Is this something for the Drama Bubble Thread?
Drama? Not really. Obviously I can't voice an opinion in the BITCH IT OUT thread when it comes to the Recent Activity page being loaded with Pokemon nonsense.
Just trying to get away from all the recent headlines, hoping to read some interesting mer-related stuff, but I have to dig through pages of gaming junk to find anything. I came here to bitch about it - AND HAVE OTHERS WHO AGREE WITH ME - yet I'm the one being called rude.
:headwall:
So I went swimming yesterday, and we get out to the pool and my husband texts me...
"Hey I may be late getting home I got hit I'm fine tho I might need some stitches"
"Just don't freak out babe ok"
Turns out a pully fell on his head at work and (knocked his hard hat off) and sliced his head.
So I was freaking out all day, didn't sleep last night because I wanted to Make sure he was okay in his sleep.
He went into work again today. 😑 the pully falling wasn't his fault, it was old and needed replaced, but the job site hadn't replaced it yet, he was following all of the rules, was wearing his hard hat etc. So he missed the last 5 hours of work yesterday to go to the ER to get it cleaned and stitched.
Even my dad who is one of those "don't miss work unless your baby is being born, or you are missing an appendage" type people told him to stay his ass home today.
He went because they were not going to pay him for the 5 hours he missed yesterday, OR for today if he didn't come in. So he's risking his health because his job isnt honoring the whole "if you get hurt because of us, we pay you for time missed" which I think is against the law?
Correct me If I'm wrong.
I am so pissed because that is such crap. He shouldn't essentially be forced to go in today if the doctor said Its not safe.
I know I can only really speak for myself, but I think Pearlie and I and Saelyyia just wanted to "bitch" about it. If we'd wanted to cause drama or pick a fight, we would've brought it to the appropriate thread. I think the beauty of this thread is you can complain about something that irritates you and not expect a response. Sometimes you just need to let it out. I know half the time I complain about things to my husband, solely wanting to complain, he wants to try and fix everything, which is not what I want. It's nice to just complain, commiserate, and move along, which I think is what we were intending. If we'd wanted to ruffle scales we would've posted our dislike on the Pokemon threads themselves. But then we'd have legions after us. [emoji23]

Gotcha. No. I don't think you're being rude. And you have every right to share your opinion, and in fact, I even agree that this forum should remain at least vaguely topical.
But I don't want this thread to explode, either.
AND OH MY GOD SHIMMER. WORKER'S COMP EXISTS. SUE THEIR ASSES!!!
I am so sorry shimmer. That is ridiculous. I can't believe that! He needs to file for workers comp! Tell him to contact his HR department and make sure he has a note from his doctor recommending he stay home. I know when I sprained my ankle on school property (I'm a teacher) because they hadn't yellowed a step in the middle of the patio the reason I couldn't file for WC was because I had my sister in law (a nurse) look at it, not an actual Doctor. So I had to cover the 50 bucks for crutches even though with the swelling and the bruising it was obvious I needed them. Just make sure he goes through the proper channels and I bet this could work out - cause what they're doing and forcing him to do is blatantly wrong.Quote:

I just felt that Pearlie's post was directed at me because I started a Pokémon Go Thread and not long after that she made that post. I wasn't trying to start anything or be rude; I just thought it was a passive aggressive post directed at me.
I don't know what hes going to do about it-if anything. But I will if he doesn't. And I'm pretty sure my uncle who works in the same field and Has several of his own companies in the field, would help us do everything needed and make sure everything went the way it's supposed to.Quote:

I have over 6,000 posts. I don't think I've been passive/aggressive EVER. Next time, ask me if I was referring to you. If I was going to direct something at you, I would.

Shimmer, your husband has the potential for a HUGE lawsuit. He should bring that up. You both should talk to a lawyer right away.
I will say that from what I've seen, you aren't one to beat around the bush about things and very forward and direct. Which=badass.
I want to, but I guess I've got to wait until he gets home tonight to see if he did anything about it while at work.
That's why I was confused and to be honest kinda hurt. Next time I'll ask first. Sorry.
I hope he does. I really hope he does.
I do too. Its not like him to cry over pain, he's got a great pain tolerance, but last night he was having a hard time. I felt awful that I couldn't help him.

Also, my inhibitions are GONE and I want to do EVERYTHING. Including testing to see if my sword actually works and would go through me. I want to make stuff and draw stuff and tell people off (and there are a good few that could use the telling). My hands are shaking and I haven't said a word. My dad is out of town until tomorrow night and my younger sister and I are the only ones here (we're a family of 6). I want to buy fabric and silicone and make a mermaid tail, dang it, and I have about $50 in my bank account. I haven't had any coffee or caffeine today. I'm just uber stressed and anxious and ANGRY. There's a member here that makes me so mad, but that's for the Bubble. I'll throw fins later on.
If I keep receiving hate mail through my mermaid address I just might cry. I need to change my username so badly to get these people off my back. Not through MN, but Gmail.
I need to chill out and destress. *deep sigh*
I am so close to just shutting down right now. So much is happening and I am just so overwhelmed at the moment. The bitch of a roommate is so fucking negative and just plain, Stupid. My neighbour is a needy, manipulative fuck who I can’t stand. Sure makes living in the country a lot harder and not at all peaceful!!!
Now we have to find somewhere else to live by September. I fucking hate moving, and I fucking hate people more. Like who the fuck does she think she is? No wonder she has been single for years, no man wants to touch that. It’s her personality that makes her so ugly.
I hate to say it, but I really hope karma comes around and fucks up her life. Miserable cow she is.
So yeah, now I am changing all our plans so we can move soon. Bye bye Jamaica For now at least. And I needed to rant somewhere before I had a melt down. Seriously though universe, like we do all this goof for others, and send out love and light, but we always seem to be the ones who get shit on. When is it our turn?? Just saying, I know it is about balance and all, but I have tipped the scale over doing goodness. And even though I will always continue to do good things, Some reciprocation would be nice.
^^ I didn't know you got down like that... :no-no:
I don't understand what you mean..
Exactly what I said, if a little more "street". I did not know you were capable of performing in such a fashion.
Mermaid Whisper and The Autistic Mer: I'm so sorry you're both going through so much right now. I'll be praying for you both. *hugs* Let me know if there's ever anything I can do or if you just need to vent. <3
*hugs back* you're an amazing mermaid, and I'm lucky to have you around! I'm trying to get better. I've struggled with self-harm recently and I'm working really hard not to do it again. I've also started saving for a neoprene tail, on the brighter side of things! <3
You're so sweet. :)
I'm glad you're working on it! I know it's a struggle, but I believe in you!
That's fantastic!! Do you have your design ready and everything??

You guys are the best. Seriously. :mermaid kiss:
I don't have a design yet, Lotus, but I'm working on it! I know what kind of fluke shape I like, at the very least. I'm going to be making it myself, so I've got some time to think about it! :)
Hey everyone, And thank Mermaid whisper for the support. Life can be hard sometimes. And It is hard for me to live with other people that aren't my wife, especially when they are so negative all the time. Sometimes I just need to vent lol.
Mermaid Whisper. I feel I need to apologize. I think we got off on a bad foot. I was never trying to one up you on anything, I simply thought we were just talking about things and wanted to share.. Also I didn't mean to come off like I just was trying to get a free tail. I have been working on this project for months and just stumbled upon Mernetwork. My other friends suggested asking for a donated tail so I thought it was worth a try, even though I am saving up for a real silicone tail for our professional mermaid we have on board. Again so sorry and hope this clears some stuff up :)
Here's the thing, merfriend. I've been on this forum for four years. I've been known as an autistic mermaid, and I've had to work really hard for any shred of respect I have earned, and I had to wait ten years to get my first tail, which was a fabric one from Fin Fun. Here's the kicker: you came in very suddenly, announcing that you were "the" autistic mermaid and that you wanted a tail right out of the gate. It just seemed like everything I had worked so hard for was pointless, you know? It felt like I was being replaced. I'm sorry for my rudeness if you perceived it as such. I really do not mean to hurt anyone. I just had my feelings hurt, and I was having trouble expressing just that. It comes with being autistic ;)
I wish you well in all your Canadian mermaid endeavors! I'll hold down the fort here in the USA :)
I totally understand where you are coming from. And it;s also the name of my company, not trying to steal your persona or anything. I was gonna say as well that I am over 30, and in Canada so we both can have the same kinda dream :) I really hope you are able to get your silicone tail soon, I am saving up hardcore as well.
Can I ask you what kinda tail you want, do you have a design or drawing? Also should we start this convo in another thread?
Update on my husbands injury- he essentially had to use me as a threat to get them to pay him for the time at the hospital and all of that. So that is taken care of. He swears he didn't get a concussion, but based on how he's been acting he had to have had at least a little one. The doctor didn't confirm a concussion, but he said Its very possible that he did get one but signs were not actively there because of the time it took for him to get someone to take him to the hospital after the incident. 😑
Anyway, headaches, hard time sleeping, MASSIVE swelling, and he can barely take a shower without crying. 😞
Latest bitch: after literally weeks of trying to get a hold of our ferrier (a person who takes care of a horses hooves)
And weeks of our horses needing a trim, and just getting worse, he finally calls back today and says he'll be here tomorrow.
I'm glad it's finally getting done, but he has been actively ignoring our calls ever since we got Trazon (a Friesian cross=big horse with big feet) and we know he doesn't want to do it, but he's the only one we can get to come out.
Abby, I'll put up another thread about my tailmaking endeavors sometime soon! In the meantime, I have a total of $5 for my tail saved up. Retail is rough.
Shimmer, I'm glad you got the compensation taken care of. But I'm super sorry about his injury. I hope he gets better as quick as possible! Sending love and light to you both.
I'm glad your husband's pay was taken care of. I'm sorry to hear he's in so much pain. :(
I feel awful for him.
But I guess I'll post another small bitch because it's been bugging me;
Pokemon Go.
Have no problem with it, I understand people like it. I grew up with pokemon, and had every plush, and gameboy game available.
But- people are acting like Pokemon Go is the first game to use your GPS location to find and get creatures/monsters. Its not.
Mobbles has been doing that for years, where you have to get out of the house to catch new pets.
Plus-you can actually fight each other whenever, and you can interact with your Mobbles. Feed them, play with them etc.
Plus you get things like this:
