B!TC# IT OUT!

I do the same thing, Miyu- every now and then, no matter what detergent I use, I do a load with just baking soda. My daughter and I both have crazy-sensitive skin.

I'm going to bitch about Skype. Total first world problem, but because I don't have a cell phone, it's the best way for me stay in touch with a lot of people, and it didn't send me any msgs from 6:30 last night til noon today. I would upgrade to a paid acct but not with that kind of problem!


Raina- I hope your system gets back on track soon. :( I can't imagine trying to do gigs when you feel like crap and in that way.

I am the same way. Plus I have to wash new things before I wear them or I get a rash.

I am so grateful I don't have any allergies. That just sucks so much and must be so much extra work :( sending my best wishes to you all! :hug:

So stressed out. So my hubby's son is having some legal issues. I can't really go into it, other than charges are being pressed against a 10 year old. I just found out that my hubby's ex is now wanting to move out of state to one of the states that my hubby and I have thought about moving to. So my hubby let me know and pretty much told me that that's just another reason we need to move there. Right now, I'm not prepared to move, seeing as how I'm in college, my daughter just started school this year and her school is amazing. The biggest issue is that once his son is in a different state, it's going to be next to impossible for us to see him because I don't think our vehicle will make it, and I doubt my hubby's ex would be willing to drive even halfway to meet us. I'm so stressed about everything that's going on. I'm going to be starting up a new semester soon, my daughter still has the rest of the school year to go, plus I don't want to leave my family. I've been trying to start up a business with one of my friends who's more like my sister than anything. On top of that, I've already made a business relationship with a local guy who's working on building up an aquarium and I've been in talks with him about having mermaids swimming in the tanks. If we were to move (even if it's not right now), I would still be uprooting my whole life, my daughter's life just to move to a place that costs more, where I won't own my own house, where I won't have my family/friends, and there's no guarantees that everything would work out there. We've already been told by family how expensive it is compared to where we are now. Hubby's cousin has 3 jobs just to afford rent. How can we afford that when we're scraping by here now? I have no job, but I do get student loans (Yay debt.) and those help out a ton.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just being dramatic, but I just needed to get that out. Either that or I would probably break down in tears and hide in a corner.

Oh and I just found out that my hubby's ex and son (and rest of her family) are going to be leaving at the end of January.

Normally, I would suggest that he come stay with us, so he doesn't have to be uprooted from his school or anything, but due to the legal issues, that's not possible because for the time being, he cannot be around other kids.

Anyway. I'm done ranting for now. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Tula, that sounds horrid. I hope whatever charges are being pressed really need to be- so often kids that age who do something which could create such a situation are really in need of help, and the system doesn't give it. I can understand your concerns with everything else, too. Even without the business aspect, you have the family connections and those are a big deal.

If you care to talk about what state you're looking at the possibility of ending up in, perhaps someone here can give you info about it. I (for instance) live in San Diego, and everyone thinks it's hella expensive here, but living in Portland, Oregon was far pricier because of seasons affecting everything from heating bills to extra wardrobe. You never can tell.

What I can say about the charges is that they're going overboard. He's already on house arrest, in counseling , and is working things through. We're hoping for dropped charges.

It's Oregon. Portland or the surrounding area as far as I know.

I personally found it too expensive to live in Portland- I can see your concern. But the surrounding areas might be cheaper, and they do have a lot more low income housing than many places if you can get on a wait list. I hope charges can be dropped if at all possible.. at that age, this can either set him on a new path and he can still be okay. So much hope and good thoughts to you guys, for what it's worth. Big hugs.

ps. A good thing about living in Oregon is the Faeryworlds event in Eugene. That is a blast and something positive. :)

Yeah. At the moment, my rent is only 265 a month (lot rent since I own my trailer) so moving somewhere else is going to be a huge jump in price.
So I talked with my hubby and he was just having wishful thinking about moving. Luckily he realizes it's too expensive to move.

We're hoping for the best. It could go well and he'll be just fine and go on with his life, or it could completely ruin his life forever.

That sounds like fun, but I'd rather just visit for the events and conventions and faires. <3

Thanks Deep <3 I appreciate you talking with me about this <3

I'm glad you have a place to vent it out.

And, yeah you won't find that rental price anywhere else! I don't even want to visit Oregon for the events... ha. Just my personal thing, I have a bad attitude about Portland, had it been cheap or not, I had a lot of bad experiences there. :p Pretty trees, though. :)

I've just been feeling really really down :( My bf of 3 years broke up with me almost 2 weeks ago out of nowhere... he'd apparently been growing unhappy for a while but never thought to talk to me about it, just one night DURING MY FINALS WEEK AS I WAS WORKING ON A TAKE HOME TEST DUE THE NEXT DAY he basically said that we needed to break up and there was no other solution. I just wish he'd TALKED to me about things beforehand, even if the problems (I'm busy with schoolwork and applications all the time) aren't things we can change, I just wish we could have TRIED, you know? I just feel like he never gave us a chance to try to fix things :( I'm never gonna know if there was anything I could have done, even if it didn't work at least it would have been something. And now I'm just stuck wondering how long he was pretending for, and when he stopped being in love with me. And the thing is I can't even be angry at him (except for his timing... during finals, before the holidays, and my bday :( I don't know what to do with his christmas present...), he's one of the nicest people I've ever known, and I don't want him to be unhappy, I just... :( I still care about him a lot and that makes it so much harder.

I've been a wreck since :( today was especcially bad cause I got woken up be being yelled at by my mom and then got dragged shopping in a very overwhelming mall for 3 hours. I didn't cry too noticeably in public at least I think.

bluh. I just can't talk about these things in real life because I start crying to hard to form sentences and I don't want to keep bothering my friends with it. venting is good though.

I'm so sorry, Jadestone. :( But I wonder how much he really cared if he broke it off so easy. Then again....guys are't the best at communication. :P


And I wanted to applaud everyone with medical conditions for being so strong. I've got the common cold and feel like I'm going to die..


Anyway, my little rant starts out a coupld months ago. A friend and I got into an argument and it just never recovered. I've figured we handle things differently....which didn't work. I actually say my mind and talk to people when I'm upset.... she holds everything in until one little thing pushes her over the edge and she explodes (she told me this. Not healthy IMO) So I try to move past it when she just says to drop it (communication is key....whatever). We go a few months and are fine. A few spats here and there (we never argued before the first time. :/). Then I complain about all the people hating on others (such as Miley Cyrus), and she takes it personally as she was actually one of the people doing it. She yells at me and insults me so I stop talking to her. She doesn't try to speak with me either. This goes on a month.

She finally texts me asking if she should remove me form her contacts. She apologizes and we're good for maybe another month. Sort of..... Her comments to me were only ever rude or negative. I ignore it, hoping this would pass.

So the special of a show rolls around. I hate the show and think it's incredibly overrated, one of those things that a bunch of teens grab onto a make a big deal about for a few months then dies. I make a post about this (much less aggressive than the way I worded it just now) and she goes on to attack me for it. I don't respond because she's being immature and I remove her from my friends list so she can no longer comment on my things.

She sends me a nasty message about it, then goes on to make a big deal about how I'm a b!tch and some horrible person on her page for infriending her. I don't respond to any of this knowing she was just in it for attention.

A few weeks late I send her a message to apologize because I never meant to upset her. I'm glad I finally found out how immature she really is.... She hasn't responded and I doubt she ever will.

Oh, and she started yelling louder and being more aggressive when I try to apologize any other time....really? I seriously think she needs a therapist. Anyway, don't know where I was going with this. I'm done.


Edit: Sorry for all the typos! I'm on my phone, it's really early, I'm sick, and barely got any sleep last night. :x

Jadestone, I'm so sorry he decided to pull such a thoughtless move. He waits this long without saying a word to you, and then drops the bomb when you need your focus? He could not have waited another week? That is maddening. I hope you feel better soon. Only time ever seems to take care of broken hearts. But pardon me if I say, "What a jerk!" about your now-ex.

Milleu- sounds like unfriending was totally the right thing to do! WOW. Some people. I think maybe that unfriend needs therapy.

Speaking of unfriending, here's a somewhat minor bitchout.
A friend of mine goes on date with a guy and apparently the entire time he talked about ME, while out with HER. She tells me one night at club. I guess because she knew I'd had a crush on him for some time. BUT he was on a DATE with her, and talking about another woman. I verified this. "He was on a date with you? And saying I'm amazing and all that?" Yes. So I said what I thought. What an ass. What a jerk, talking about another woman while on a date with her. I quickly lost interest beyond friendship with him. A little time passes, the next time I see him, this normally really friendly guy is cold-shouldering me- like seriously, ignoring me right in front of him, being incredibly juvenile- which is an insult to juveniles! It took me a minute, but I realized she must have told him. Okay. But then a little more time passes, and boom, she unfriends me and is still friends with him. (I have a bf now, this was right before my new guy.)

Nice. Well. I can do without such people in my life. His crap, her crap, it's all the same to me. Sad to have apparently lost her friendship. But she does have a lot of issues, so who knows what else she was thinking that she never told me. I want this to not bother me, but godsdammit, I knew her for ten years, so I'm bugged.

I dunno anymore if I can make my tail and I'm getting jealous of people who are happy because they can have a tail (mind you, I don't hate you!)
As you may know I'm depressed now and I'm just tired of everything. This year I had been planning to make a latex one, but I COULDN'T! Now I'd like to make my silicone one and maybe I can't, or I've fear of it. maybe I must give up and let this old dream go of.
I'm deluding...

I've not a tail and I'm starting feeling excluded from this community :(

^ well i still cant swim like one so imagine how THAT feels haha :P my tail has been in the closet for so long now.. and its molding.. and i need to clean it.. and since i have resorted to becoming a dry-mer instead, i could give it to you free of charge. mainly because, well... i dont wanna clean it and i am super lazy (to charge you for a tail i dont wanna clean myself is pretty mean so i'm opting to give it for free). also, you are in need of a tail and i'm not. :o
SOOOO shoot me a msg if youre interested.

back to unfriending, i just cleaned out 50 people from my list of people i havent talked to for years.. maybe months.. very liberating to spring clean your friends list. these people i've either lost contact with and we barely talk anymore but remain friends offline, some disagree with my beliefs and we've just remained acquaintances, or they just downright offended me or pissed me off about something so stupid.. (like how to NOT post 'once upon a time' spoilers.. bitch please its my facebook wall its like walking into my home and telling me what to NOT hang up in my own home.)

OBVIOUSLY if I disagree with someone in authority I am automatically wrong. #$^&@!

Claudia, you are a mer in your heart, not your tail. I'm sorry you feel excluded. How about making yourself a fabric tail for now? Make a nice basic spandex tail and spend time decorating it. Nothing that will keep you from swimming in it if you have the opportunity. Paint some scales, sew on some sequins...make it your own, and after a while, you'll be ready to make the jump into building a silicone tail. And you'll already have an awesome custom fabric tail!

oh look. another bout of stomach flu. great

Having a tail has nothing to do with it. I've no tail, either. Mer in spirit and heart, that's what matters. A person with a mermaid tail might not even feel merish.

Except your Facebook wall is basically the opposite of your living room wall.
People don't automatically get updates on what paintings you put up in your home; but on Facebook, no one has to be in your home to see your paintings - they're forced to look at them unless they want to stop receiving any news about your paintings ever. So really, it's more like saying "Hey! Look! Look at this painting I just put up on my wall! You'll notice it's a depiction of the final scene of that show you love, isn't it great? Oh, you haven't seen it yet? Well you have now!"

Not that I'm trying to pick fights or anything, but I do think it's etiquette not to post spoilers on a public forum where the whole point of a post is to share it with your entire friends list ;)

OK... That's it!
I have something to cheer up all of you. If that video doesn't put a big smile on your cheeks, i promise i will try harder. :)
