Thanks for the warm welcome! Raina: i know, i'm surprised i don't know more people on here. and i don't know the rest of y'alls names, but thank you! i am trying to save up, and i'm getting closer. the only problem i have with selling tails is that it's going to be difficult to send them in the mail, and i also don't know how to use paypal and whatnot (basically i have no idea what i'm doing hahaha ) I'm hoping that i can get tips not only on making tails but also things like expanding my lung capacity and finding places that will let me perform (ie will any aquariums let me swim around in their tanks, malls with fountains i can sit in etc) or job opportunities in my community etc. I' so glad I found this place! thanks again!
