Oh man, Phoenix, that sucks. :( I'm sorry you have to deal with that. It's hard enough when someone you care about so much passes; it's even harder when you have a family member like your uncle just being a prick just because.

That is just...yuck. Bless your heart and don't even give this person any more of your thought or time. ((hugs))
Phoenix I am SO sorry for your loss, and your situation *hugs*
It sounds like you really knew your Grandmother and what she wanted best, and that you made your choices based on this. You have nothing to feel bad about in regards to your actions/decisions. Your other family members really have no right to be ragging on you this way.
Again, *hugs* Stay strong buddy :( Hope the waters calm soon.
Thank you all very much for you kind words
Phoenix, I'm really sorry for your loss :(, Big hug! I wish you all the best. I do believe hard times make us stronger. Don't feel guilty about yourself, you deserve a really big hug and some rest!
oh my god phoenix.. that's horrible. seriously you should say it to his face and publicly in front of everyone (that's what i'd do anyway.. with no shame). :hugs:
*sobs for no reason* :mad:
I went to meet up with some new 'friends' and they never even showed up. I was supposed to go to an important meeting with them. I don't even feel like bothering with what we were going to do in the first place any more.
That really sucks if they left you waiting like that for nothing :(
*mer huggles*
Oh my god you poor thing!
Lol
My estranged older sister gets $40,000 for a settlement which she currently has and she calls me to complain about my mom (who is 66yrs old and not working mind you. I give her money when I get money, even if its my last $20. She's my mom.) for $100 dollars to buy some groceries. Then my sister brags about spending $5,000 on her 2 daughters for school clothes and accessories (my Nieces). How is it My Sister is now asking me for money because "things are getting tight" and wants $50. a week from me. Just to make it clear I don't/haven't owed her any money at all.
It upsets me because, I have no food in my house right now- with the exception of one box of raspberry Jello. She knows in my case I'm only doing random work when I can (cause i quit my other job), my hubby is already paying our bills and she has $35 grand to use at her leisure. Meanwhile she already planning an extravagant trip to Disney world and to buy another Gucci bag (which cost oh somewhere in the $1,900-$2,000 range).
I'm Just:

Thanks Octavia,
@Pearliemae trust me she's a ... greedy person. Lol you're from jersey awesome!!
Sometimes you have to distance yourself from toxic people, even if (and sometimes especially if) they are related to you!
Pearl I am too old to call you aunt so I will call you Sister Pearl
:D Makes me sound religious!Quote:

Doesn't that sound so... important?
@NYM - Pearl is right, distancing yourself from toxic people, even if they're related to you, can save you so much time and stress. I had to do this with my father, who values material goods way over the people in his family. He said a particular table was more important to him than me, to my face. A dining table. >_< Some people just never get it.
:lol:
Since we're mermaids, can we be the Sacred Cloyster of Sister Pearl?
Or we can drop the "cl" all together and just be the Sacred Oyster of Sister Pearl.... :D

I do distance myself from my sister but I keep close to my nieces. I want to move away so bad but living here I'm close to all my family, literally 40 feet away.
Lol, that is one ugly pearl... Give me the average sized, smooth, and shiny ones any day! It's a shame someone died for it.Quote:

So on Friday my parents front fence fell down onto the foot path! (rotten wood and windy days aren't a good combination)
So I had to help my mum move it off the foot path and back into our front yard. But she didn't want to squash her plant. So I got a hammer and cleared a hole (really easy as the whole thing is full of rot)
so I put the lengths from the fence down and proceeded to help my mum lift it so we could put it in the front yard. and I stood on a length...on the nailed end....where there was a nice rusty nail waiting for my foot.
it went straight through my havaianas (my thong now has a drainage hole through it) and into my foot :(
Through some random miracle I missed all the blood vessels as it didn't bleed. So called up the health line and they told me I should go to the dr, since it's been 10years since my last tetanus injection.
Went to the Drs, she cleaned my foot and gave me my tetanus. So now I'm hobbling around the house and I'm out of parracetamol.
At least it didn't cost me anything
Forum got hacked again!!!
Iona is aware. These hackers have been reported to the FBI as well.
Oh I know but since it's the bitching thread I'm venting out my frustration lol.
already reported.
Oh look it's baaaack! Previous post does not apply anymore I is happy :3
The other day, the local tattoo parlor had a Friday the 13th piercing special. My 15 year old talked her mother into taking her there to get her nose pierced. My wife wanted to do hers as well but then again so did I. She thought it would be stupid if I got one, so she finally said she would not get one, so long as I would not get one. The place was packed, so we went home.
The next day my wife took my daughter to another place. She called on the phone and said “So I can’t get one?”. I said “Whatever”, expecting my displeasure to be evident. As you might expect, my wife got he nose pierced. I did not speak to her the rest of the night.
The next day she continued to express her displeasure, saying that men with nose piercings were “gay”. I then proceeded to ask where she was keeping her lesbian girlfriend. That did not go over well.
I would have been fine not getting my nose pierced, if my wife had kept her side of the bargain. As it stands, I will be getting a nose ring tomorrow. I feel that I have to, now, just to put things right.
seems like she's more concerned about how you having a nose piercing reflects on HER rather than what would make you happy. Letting you get one is the easier and loving thing to do - I mean, a nose piercing can be taken out whereas a marriage takes a lot longer to heal than a tiny hole in a nose.Quote:

So I bought a $140 dollar light fixture. Made plans with my grandfather to build the rig to hang it on. Even started to clean out the space for the tank and she throws a fit saying she wants the space for her stuff. Now I have a 140 dollar light fixture in my bedroom floor. Just waiting to be stepped on and broken doing nothing. I think I might just move it when she is not there with my dad. She won't be able to do shit about it since the tank is heavy as fuck empty and she has no idea how to handle the equipment.
Ever since her and my dad decided to get a divorce and she hooked up with her sorry excuse for a bf she has been acting like a kid.

Ugh, I'm so sorry Dacora- there's little worse than when the parents starts acting like the child.
These are wise words.Quote:

There is still schrapnel in your face." LOL But those piercings were hot. <3
As it turns out, I looked through the Employee Handbook where I work and a draconian clause prohibits nose rings anyway. No worries, I'll just get another tattoo ;)
Ugh I'm so nervous right now, my wisdom teeth are killing me and tomorrow two of them are going to be pulled. I never had any problems with my teeth hence my fear :/. I'm afraid it's going to hurt really bad and I wish it was over already. And the worst of all is that my boyfriends' grandfather died yesterday so I have to attend another funeral next week :(. We saw it coming and he was pretty old but darn, this week really s*cks!
