Go totally pro on her. Tell her 'I'm sorry, you didn't contact me about scheduling an appearance, we haven't gone over logistics and you haven't even signed a contract. If I HAD been properly scheduled, I would have given you advertising materials to be included in your promotions. If you want me to appear at your function with this little notice, my fee is doubled (YES, I said DOUBLED); you will need to provide proof of event insurance; and I will need the following items upon my arrival (outline what you want for lunch, a bucket of iced bottles of water, etc...). You shouldn't have told anyone I was already going to be there without a signed contract, and at this point, I am under no obligation to appear at your event. And a friend would have already known this.'

As for "great exposure for you" (I get that all the time when asked to photograph), say 'I have all the exposure I need, thank you, and when I need more exposure, my marketing team handles that. Have a nice day! '

I love you!

[SINicallyTwisted]

I agree 100% with Pearlie.


Also, I heard about the fire in Lowell. I hope you weren't affected in any way. (You, family, friends...)

Thank you. Our hearts goes out to the everyone. Very sad day!

So I was in standing outside the car with my uncle today (it was parked) and whilst speaking to him, he literally whips it out and starts pissing in front of me -.- WHO DOES THAT!!! THATS DISGUSTING!!!!!!! And what makes it worse? He DOES IT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!! I was standing there like "Oh. My. God. >_> *stares at everything in the opposite direction* I swear people, family shouldn't be that close. Like there was a bathroom, ya know >>

Wow! I too have family that do things ummmm inappropriately and they make me want to bang my head off a wall when I'm around them all the time so I totally feel your pain! *super mega snuggle hugs*

[PearlieMae]

Getting pretty frustrated because no matter where I go I can never find a job. No callbacks, no nothing.

Soooo, we just moved to Florida in December and we LOVE our neighborhood. However...we have two dogs, a large 45 pound Aussie Shepard and a little pug. People are supposed to keep their dogs on a leash where we live and for the most part everyone does (and if they don't the dog is either really well trained and stays on it's property, or the owners are outside with the dog/dogs.) Our 8 year old Aussie is high strung and not used to being on leashes or being around dogs she doesn't know. She is pretty friendly but can get nervous so we make sure to try and never walk her when there are other dogs out to try and keep everyone calm. It has worked out fine except the're is a dog catercorner to us that the owner just lets out without anyone watching him. He is a little white thing, possibly a Maltese, maybe 15 pounds or so. The first time he met our Aussie he was unleashed and ran up to her and stood just outside her reach and began to snarl and bark at her...jumping and basically being a little asshole. My big Aussie wasn't going to stand for that and lunged at the dog. I managed to hold her back and get her back in the house. A few days later I talked with the other Neighbor who happens to be friends with the guy with the white dog. He asked how we were settling in and I told him fine except for our big dog who got attacked by the little white one. He didn't believe me, acted shocked that the white dog would do such a thing and basically said I didn't know what I was talking about. That dog got along with everyone and was great friends with his dog which ironically is a mini Aussie Shepard.

Fast Forward to another day and I am walking my dogs down the block and that little white fury comes screaming out of his driveway up the block and runs right at our Aussie growling and barking...the owner just happened to be outside and yelled for his dog to stop. Well...he didn't, he ran up right into my Aussies range and she flattened the little thing LOL. She didn't hurt him, just smacked him to the ground and let him know who was boss..he ran off with his tail tucked and his owner apologized profusely.
Turns out the little dog not only was trying to attack my dog, but also the puppy of the lady across from me.

So, tonight I go to walk the dogs and the friggin white dog comes running back across the street and goes to attack our Aussie again! I run both my dogs inside and lock the door before he can close enough to get hurt. My husband thinks I need to just let the Aussie go and let them have it out, cause it wouldn't be our fault the guy doesn't leash his dog. I can't do it, our Aussie would kill that dog and I wouldn't put anyone through that no matter how much of a shit their dog is. I don't want to start a war with our neighbors but this keeps happening! I didn't write about all of the times it has happened..but it's been more then just these and it's really pissing me off. Our dog gets labeled as the evil, vicious one when it's actually the neighbors dog who is attacking her and she is just defending herself and protecting me!

Well I'm at the six month line, but I'm doubting I'll be able to find anything. I'm running out of places to apply to in this tiny town. I'm starting to think about moving somewhere else, but it's SO HARD when you can't find someplace to hire you. I've got about $300 left to live on until I can find a job, and things aren't really looking up.

To whom it may concern.

Dear Mr. Assface,

Thank you so much for ramming your shopping cart into my spine today at the grocery store. Though I admit you might not have seen me since I was putting my milk on the lower part of my cart, what I truly appreciate is you staring straight at me after I got up and exclaimed a well deserved "What the hell!" at you, and then quickly departing without so much as a sorry expression or a small verbal apology.

Yours truly, the girl who got in your way.

I luff u Pearlie.

Oh hell no. I so would have ran my mouth and thrown a tomato or something. Run by fruiting or some shit. *gentle hugs* Hope your back is ok. ;(

[Raayvhen]

He left his full cart behind so I'm sure he knew what would have happened if he stayed.

An option is calling animal control next time it happens... it will cause ripples between you and your neighbor... perhaps you need to approach them and inform them that you do not want to put up with that dog and you're afraid your dog will hurt it if it comes up to attack you again and if they cannot keep it leashed you feel that it may require animal control being called in next time for the safety of the dogs.

I hate that everytime I get emotional my roommates chalk it up to me being diagnosed with PTSD and refusing to be medicated for it.

Often or not when I try to hash things out and I start to get a little flustered because no one is listening to me it always ends up with "we know you don't want to be medicated... but we're starting to think you need it." They were fine with me prior to the three months I tried the medication. (I went off the medication, it was horrible, and I realized how much of a haze I was in while on it that made it hard to be to really process things.)

I don't think they understand, while being on the medication I still got freaked out, I just didn't have the energy to do something about it.

[Mermaid Lily_Pad]

Coral, check your private messages in a bit. I am going to write you when I drag myself out of bed. I have PTSD too but I found a doc that helped!
