Be our guest.
I have endo. One of the lesser known symptoms of endometriosis is losing teeth. The combination of the medication used to treat it, and the constant inflammation, is a bad time for teeth. I work really hard on my teeth (especially after the braces) regular brush and floss with special toothpaste, a mouth spray, and I use a water pic. Well, just got back form the dentist and I have FOUR cavities! Dentist says she sees this all the time as a side effect of my meds https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...AOYQEHkM_xu6jQ:( but they're the ONLY meds that work. So she's changed up my products again and I'm coming back next week and the week after for fillings. Some days I feel like it's 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this stuff https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...AOYQEHkM_xu6jQ
I'm so sorry, AniaR, I can't imagine how frustrating that is.Quote:

I have adhd so it makes my brain “hard to turn off”. If I go to bed before ten I’m waking up at Four AM or earlier. Go to bed later than ten and wake up at 6-8.Quote:

:mad: i decided to follow raina's page and i'm so annoyed that she's not getting views anymore. every time i see her posts i comment so that way she shows up in my feed more often, but nooooo facebook doesn't care so i have to search her page out!
also raina your page is lovely and amazing <3
I followed Raina's page too, then the first post it showed me was her saying something about friend requests etc for people she knows personally and I was "omg am I being a stalker... >.> <.<" and then politely unfollowed and followed her on instagram instead.
The 'just universe' and 'just be stronger' theories that people use to approach those having trouble with health, physical or mental.
(The 'Just Universe' theory is that thing where people think if you 'just do everything right' everything will be great, and so if you're broke, or have a chronic illness, etc., you must have done something wrong or you deserve it, because it's a just universe, darling.) And the assumptions that someone living with hardship hasn't thought of this miracle piece of advice someone just HAS to give even though they've never been in the same circumstances.
It's crazy that anyone still thinks that way, but they are out there.
Or the people who don't understand how someone whose every moment is spent controlling what their mental illness is trying to do, along with living with physical ailments and challenges, might talk about it a lot. You know. As if it affects every part of their life. OH wait, it does. A friend of mine is going through that right now, as she tries to work with yet another team of doctors who can't figure out what is wrong with her, and her parents (who she has to live with because of her illnesses, even though she's an adult) are telling her 'nobody wants to hear about that all the time.' Well, bite me. I want her to talk about it if she wants to, I want to be the friend who can let a friend get everything off their chest because it helps on some small level. And she does talk about other things, too, but FFS, most of the last ten years of her life has been spent trying not to let this mystery illness take her out, of COURSE it's a big subject.
Oh and mermaid bitch: the tail I hoped to order in the next couple months is not going to be produced for... who knows how long. Boo. I'll look online, but I really wanted a new Mythic, not a pre-owned one.
that's repugnant and so stupid it should be illegal.Quote:

I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
I went through something eerily similar, and we too regularly get people who think they have to comment about it even though they have no clue.
"Oh, you were so long sick with a tick-borne disease? I had a tick too once, but it wasn't a great deal at all, you should really blablabla" [insert completely useless health advice].
If you have something serious that the doctors are clueless about, you're in a bad, bad spot.
Of course, if you happen across the one rare doctor who isn't an overpaid charlatan who finds out what it is, but there is no cure and no real treatment for it- that's almost as bad.
The "just universe" people can bite me. I have lupus, and it doesn't matter what I do. I will always have it. Sometimes good people end up.with bad health and to wave it away as though they simply must deserve it is bull.
Just knowing what I go through makes my heart break for others with issues. Especially knowing how people can look at you for it.

I need to rant and this seems the safest place. My husband called my "mermaid thing" my midlife crisis. Okay 1. I'm only 31. 2. I've been at this off and on for a few years (3-4 or so). I'm so mad. He meant it as a joke I think, but it's hurtful. Honestly I like making things. Making a tail seems like a fun thing to make and it has been so far. Just. Aaaargh.

That's very mean, I hope he comes to understand that it brings you joy , I'm sure he does things that he enjoys that other people don't necessarily get. Best of luck to you [emoji8][emoji225]

So I've been staying with a friend for about 3 weeks because his place is closer to my job. I come home Sunday and the room wreaks of cat pee. We think maybe it's the litter box. Well i come back from work today set to clean the carpet under My bed because after sniffing around i realize the pee smell is coming from under there. It takes an hour to get the smell just faint. Fast forward to dinner time, i order Chinese and head to eat it in my room. I then sit and watch the cat go under my bed, i run over and lift the sheets and...... She's peeing.
I don't want to ask her to her Rid off the cat since she says its an emotional support animal but i have too much valuable things That i store under my bed, and not to mention i do cosplay commissions and do not want to have to email a customer about cat pissy costumes. ( I'm also scared she'll ruin my corsets or lolita dresses, i mean she's also already scratching my desk chair that i borrowed from a friend)

To clarify, the cat Belongs to my roommate aft my apartment, not my friend's place. Me and the girl also share a room so i can't lock the cat out.

Eww, that's gross. Have you talked to your friend about the issue? Because I know cat pee is not easy to get out things. I had that issue when I went on an exchange and my host's cat peed all over my suitcase. Luckily it was plastic so the smell didn't hang around for long.
We have a cat that recently started peeing (a few months ago) and the vet had some tips.
If you can come to an agreement with your roommate, ask to keep the cat out of the room first.
Then ask to buy some "happy pheromones" from the vet.
Maybe plant another litterbox in the room?
Sorry to hear that. Such a frustrating issue.
Ugh, cat pee on anything is the worst thing ever. The smell is so hard to get rid of!Quote:

Its just pressurized air but it startles them and teaches them NOT to go in that area again. Something like this could be an option for sticking under your bed since you most likely wouldn't be triggering the sensor by walking through your room. Its not a fantastic solution by any means but its something you could consider I guess :p.
Thanks everyone, honestly I'm ready to ask her to send the cat to her parents. Last night when i was getting ready for bed i again saw the cat go under and take a leak. I got some boxes and closed off under my bed. Then when i got off from work today while i was sewing i saw the cat go NEXT to the bed, between the bed and the tote i have there and squat and pee again. The smell is so bad i can hardly sleep and not to mention the smell is now on everything in my area and i can not take this and won't risk my rep as a cosplay commissioner.
What makes me more set on getting rid of the cat is that i am certain she knew the cat was doing it. The room, and my bed in particular smelled like hot piss so badly my eyes watered when i came back a few days ago. How does someone not notice that? And when i told her she said " we can put the litter box by your bed" um, how about no? And the litter box has been empty since i came back. Not one drop of pee or poop. ( I'm actually worried she'll be pooping on something else of mine)

Momo, you can spray a scent on there that puts the cat off of peeing in that spot. It's a hormone spray. We had to use it for our cat and it worked well.
And thanks to everyone for the supportive comments. I talked to him about it and he apologized. He meant it as a joke. He said he's very proud of what I've learned and complimented what I've done so far.

We used double sided tape to keep our cat from things he wasn't allowed to get on or touch. Cats hate things sticking to their paws, so maybe you can put strips of tape on places you don't want the cat to get too. Else I would try the hormone things as some suggested.Quote:

Unfortunately, it may take a long time for the cat to accept you, but the pheremones in the Feliway may slow down the peeing. Good luck!
If a cat avoids her litter box, she will do so for a good reason.
It could be a myriad of things- something simple like the box being put in a place uncomfortable for the cat, or the box not being cleaned regularly- or something more serious, like stress due to the fact she is forced to live with someone who dislikes or mistreats animals, extreme unhappiness, and so on.
It could also be an illness. When a cat is in pain or sick, one often can't tell except for very small signs, and she WILL avoid using the litterbox if she is feeling pain while relieving herself.
Sad to see how unempathethic some people can be.
The only animal that does things for no other reason than to be a jerk is called "human".
This isn't really a "bitch" but irritating. I keep trying to upload pictures for different things here on the site (on my laptop) and no matter what I get the error code. "your image exceeds the quote by 16.4MB" it never changes from that specific number. I have edited pictures to smaller Jpeg size, png size, web image size....changed the pixel height and width....nothing!!! Does ANYONE have any suggestions ? It used to work fine for me back long ago, but now ......its just so irritating, I can't post pictures of my new tail for a review, I can't post pictures of mermaids I have photographed, or even the silicone work that I am doing :( or the cup that I need to sell because the buyer backed out. Help!
You can’t upload direct to the site anymore. That’s why. Upload it elsewhere and link it.

I was having that same issue. Nice of them to let us know we can't upload directly to the site.
I think Iona said something about it a few months back somewhere. I don't remember where. Basically it had to do with the site running out of server space. It was around when they deleted all the user albums too if I recall.
The announcement was from June of 2017 but wasn't clear at the time regarding individual image uploads:

Waves and wishes,

Thanks for linking the post Whisper! You're right that it was a bit vague. i think I just ready this part:
Doing this will use the space on the host's site, instead of uploading the photo to our server, which of course takes up our server space."and made the assumption on the logic that if it was eating so much server space, followed by the part where there were still people re-uploading the albums after that it would probably be a feature that got turned off entirely in the long run. I tend to be a "worst case scenario" thinker on such things because there are so many of us here and the activity feed can scroll by so fast that sometimes announcements get swallowed into the depths before too many folks see them.Quote:
"Also, that when uploading photos to threads, when possible, please do so via URL, and uncheck the box that says, "Retrieve remote file and reference locally".
However, I can just as easily see how this that could be misleading into thinking this only effected the user albums and not images in our forum thread posts.
Nice to know. Thank you for linking that so we can read it :) I definately would not have known, but I swear people keep adding pictures in the "I just had a photoshoot" section lol. Oh well. I guess if people want to see the types of mermaid shoots I photograph they can go to my page LOL. But thank you for linking it!
This is not an angry post. It's a sad one.
Some months ago I came in the UK for working until the end of summer. I'm coming back to Spain the next month.
I left my dog in a nice residence/hotel for dogs, until I come back home.
Two days ago, my dog had a multiorganic failure and died suddenly.
I'm angry with the full Universe, and sad, because I couldn't even say her "goodbye".
I will miss her a lot.
My condolences. Can you tell us a bit about her?
I'm so Neerai. Losing a pet is so hard. I lost my dog very suddenly earlier this summer, and she was at the vet without me when it happened. I didn't really get to say goodbye, either. It hurts and I are so sorry that you're going through this.
I agree with Merleece, tell us a bit about her if you can. It's nice to remember the good times.

sorry for your loss, neerai.
Thank you everybody.
Her name was Morrigan. She was a mixed breed, black, very funny and energetic. Her caregivers said they did not detected anything because she was playing until her last breathe. She was intelligent and funny. I found her in a diffusion webpage six years ago, and I fell in love with her. When I was suffering for anything, she was there always.
This was the longest time I left her in a dog hotel, until I come back to Spain, and it breaks my heart thinking she will be not with me anymore.
I'm really sad with this.
she sounds like she was amazing
