I have no idea Sabrina! No. Absolute. Idea. I get that she might be concerned , but she has took it more as a bullying type deal. I just , I dunno what ima do .
Not cool of your sister at all! I'm sorry :( Being someone that is pagan, I'm here if you need to vent to someone. I hope your family comes around and at least lets you explain your spirituality and choices to them. Never fun to have family or friends who jump to the worst conclusions when it comes to witchcraft.
*Hugs*
I guess I'm lucky that witch craft has been in my family for generations, in the Yoruba or Santeria traditions I was thought the craft from a young age especially when I got to stay over at my grandmas she was always receiving clients in her home, I remember I used to sneak around and observe her rituals and consults it was always good to watch except the blood sacrifices but those were necessary...

Always easier to be a witch when you come from a family of witches. I'm just lucky that my family accepts my practice, let's me get on with rituals, etc.

My dad keeps fat shaming me. Tells me "that nobody will hire a professional mermaid who has a gut as big as mine" or "nobody wants a mermaid who doesn't look good in a tail"
I'm so upset right now, I've been down in the dumps for what feels like forever because I feel like I don't have a nice, pretty, skinny body. My tummy is too big, face is too round, my legs and bum and arms are too fat. I feel like I have no hope for ever making my silicone tails. I feel like I've got no more hope and inspiration to achieve my dreams of being a professional mermaid all because of my body type. I'm hardly have a flicker of desire to work on sculpting for my tail. It comes and goes but I usually have a road block or huge obstacle in my way which prevents me from making any sculpting progress.

Your dad needs to learn when to shove off. That's awful.
Don't let his crud get to you.

This upset me greatly. I know I'm on the other side of the spectrum on this being a tall super skinny guy and all people do is lay the "anorexic" jokes. Sabrina is right that your dad should just shove off. I quickly looked at your fb picture linked to your account and girl, you are not no where near the size to be counted as big. I can get you proof of people twice the size of you that are making money as mermaid and merman. Being a mermaid is your dream and you WILL make it. I believe and you and I'm sure everyone else here does too. My family has been a pain in my lack of butt trying to discourage me but the friends I'm making and the fact it's healthy thing makes this all worth it. You are beautiful on the inside and kids will see that as you being a mermaid. Kids don't worry about looks as they only worry about the person. Your dad need to see it from the people you are entertaining. If you let your family make you quit out of this, you will regret it later in life. Believe me as I put my dream on hold for over 10 years. I don't want to see that happen to someone else.

Now I have to find a different website to print my designs and my tail gets delayed even more.
Will they refund you or are you stuck with what they gave you? Sorry that happened to you.

I don't know...I emailed them already so I'm just waiting to hear back. I hope I either get a free reprint or a refund because everything about these swatches is terrible. I'm still trying to get over how the blue one managed to turn out purple. I double checked the settings in Photoshop and the final files but everything was fine so they should have printed pretty true to what's on my screen (according to other reviews on the fabric). If they try to say it's something wrong on my end I'm going to be PISSED.Quote:

Did you create your image in CMYK or RGB? I think spoonflower prints in CMYK. Did you buy swatches or the full yardage that you needed?Quote:

At least some are considerate enough to tag Mernation.
sRGB is what they print the files as and what I made the files as. I got swatches because I was testing out multiple color schemes for my mermaid tail fabric.Quote:

Spoonflower FINALLY got back to me. They sent me a generic response that my files didn't have enough contrast to make the details visible (which is COMPLETELY untrue especially since bright blue printed DARK FLIPPING PURPLE) but will have a "one time courtesy" and let me send it back for a refund. So in short I get some money back and now I have to start over on a new site that does the same thing after i find a job.
At least you're getting the money back but sorry that still happened to you.

Someone else read the rules and asked how it was against the rule and guess what? No answer because the post got deleted then. I did turn around made a separate asking is it now against the rule to ask about how something is against and I tag the admin to it. I was no only ask to remove the tag, but also told it shouldn't concern me. I have every reason to be concern on this. First the person on here about 2 pages again told me I broke the rules on this very thread and I never revealed who she was. The other thing is this same person never explain to me why I got ban from two groups before I even joined. How can people follow the rules as it seem to be made up in that pod? The other thing is she said that this should not concern me. I should be concern. I got banned before I could even joined so yes I want to know what rule is broken so she doesn't banned me for 3rd time. The 3rd thing is why is there a post about becoming an art teacher (not mer related) is acceptable on there but a person can't couldn't ask how something was against the rule. I'm done this with. I will remain part of pod of the south. Keep in mind someone else created a pod of the southeast after getting tired of deleted post. A bunch of other people already private message me expressing the that they wish the other admin in that group would come back.
And just like that, person deleted another thread because another person express not understanding. People have good of heart; as a teacher that person should understand that. If your job doesn't allow you to be a mer than don't run a group that could cause your job being in danger. Feels like we are getting punished for that person hiding her hobby behind her job back. I just don't know. Sorry for venting everyone.
Update:
I ask why post got deleted again regarding are we not suppose to ask what rule we got broken. I got a message saying I got a warning for instigating. The person block me from responding to the PM but I want to make something clear. Other people questioning because they don't understand too doesn't mean I should get the warning. She could had easily deleted their post. I still ask why I got banned before I even joined the group and I'm never going to get that answer. Yes I got screenshots. I leave nothing to chance. People should be able to post without worry if they follow within the rules.
@ Hydra I'm happy you are getting a refund. I hope the next company you go through will be better.
@ Slim I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with that group. I'm not on any of the Facebook groups so I don't know how they work or how to become an admin. Have you tried starting a group on meetup? Or maybe another social site?
Someone got tired of watching the stuff happening within the group so a new pod group got created. Facebook is the best to find meetup. I'm not so much worry about it. It's frustrating because other people ask and that makes me like an crap starter...nope. People stood up on their own after I did a couple weeks ago.

For complaints like this, go to the drama bubble thread.
I'm so sorry that this is happening, though. I've had fairly good luck with the Facebook pods and I wish that for everyone.

I feel like she is trying to maintain the rules, but her method of trying to enforce rules in an environment that is supposed to be fun seems to be upsetting a lot of people. I feel like she has good intentions, but I left that group feeling like she had no idea how to interact with anyone with a mental disorder nor the capacity to let anything slide. I feel like her position as admin puts a strangle hold on the pod of the south to the detriment of others. I really hope this issue gets worked out peacefully, but I perceive the end result being her brushing this off instead of recognizing the severity of her own actions.
After all, she couldn't recognize her part in my mood swing's out burst on this thread. I don't think she'll recognize it when she does anything wrong.
You're fine!!! Given that your postings haven't turned into any outright fights, I think you're okay.
I totally get that you need to vent, too. So no shame. Just letting you know for the future. A lot of us take our turns on the Drama Bubble Thread, as much as we all try to keep it to a minimum.

Then when I ask him why I get "I dunno" I ask him how his friends got invited along I get "it just happened" then when I finally get some vague details it turns out he invited them. I get even more mad then he changes his F-ing story and tells me they just invited themselves!
What a dumb selfish jerk I married why is it so hard to get any alone time together? Why can't he just act like a good husband for once? :mad::anger explode::anger explode::soap box::headwall::gah::gah::headdesk::gah:
I swear the only way I will ever get any attention from him is if I start flirting with one of his friends, :mermaid kiss: but it won't be the attention I want. :rolleyes: Ugh. Sorry for the rant he went to sleep right after I got mad and tried talking to him about how I feel. :cry::sad eyes: He's snoring loudly now, not wearing his machine again. So I'm going to have another migraine in the morning and have to deal with the loud kids and loud dog all day again, great. :doh:
Night guys thanks for the space for me to rant. <3 :fallover::bed now:
Sorry to hear [emoji853]Quote:

Khaleesi, that sucks. Maybe you should cancel and do something nice for yourself? You could go to a nail salon, go swimming, etc :)
Also, it sounds as if he doesn't respect you at all :( It would not even occur to me to invite other people to dates I've set without discussing it first with the person I've set said date with. That is just wrong.
You need to sit him down and have good talk about this!
