Cut from "Since" to "yet", cap the w in We.

cut the "so" part from the first sentence. because aying "SO sorry" makes it seem like it was "completely your fault" when we all know it wasn't

Send the wands to the No Reply lady. Keep the money. She can't be bothered to answer you, if she doesn't like it, let her fight with Etsy.

See? You're skin is getting thicker already!

Isn't that risking another bad review?

Yes, but it's not your fault. It's not like you haven't tried to please her.

Every sale is a risk of a bad review.

If, when she gets them, she doesn't like them, refund her money once she sends them back. it's better to send them and have her not like them than to complain that they were late.

And she might LOVE them!

So I have to read The Social Contract for my class and I'm so fucking defeated. I've been reading this book over and over again for two fucking weeks and I have notes that mean absolutely nothing to me. I cannot make myself understand what the fuck Rousseau is trying to say. I've read commentaries and watched youtube videos explaining the ideas but since it means nothing to me I can't write this fucking critique. I'm seriously considering turning in a paper that simply says "I give up. I cannot do this."

This shit is due by midnight and I don't have a fucking thing to say. I'm about to cry and I'm so pissed off at myself.

Now my mom is yelling at me because I was telling her that I can't do this. She's making it seem like its the easiest thing in the world.

Coincidentally i read the same book you did. but mine had pictures and things in graphic novel format so it was more humourous and less boring.

Tail due TOMORROW. Gig SATURDAY. No communication, no update pictures, no explanation. First of all I hope they are ok and nothing awful has happened. Second of all, very unhappy customer I don't think asking to be kept in the know about what is going on is too much to ask. I'm so frustrated I'm at a loss.

I want you to know that I contacted Abby about the situation. She read my PM so hopefully you might get a reply soon.

Thank you, Arion. Adarila, no, they don't give you any of that kind of information. I have Bryn's Skype contact, but she is pretty much always offline, and I have been trying not to bother them as I know they're probably slammed... the only thing I take issue with is being told one thing and not being kept up to date when that thing changes.

A friend who previously ordered a tail paid a rush fee and was able to get hers literally the night before she needed it at 9pm... I did not pay a rush fee and acknowledge that it clearly says on their Facebook NOT to book a gig until you have your tail in hand, so this is mostly my fault... but at the time I both ordered the tail and booked the gig, the wait time from anyone had never been more than 5ish months and the gig was 7 months away. Then a whole bunch of things came up- their move, baby sister, car broke down, merfest- I feel bad for the girls, I don't know how they manage the stress. I've talked to them before about this and asked them to just be up front if it was going to be late so I could arrange to rent a tail for my event. Now the event is Saturday and I have no clue wether or not I will have my tail... I just needed to vent. Sorry to dump this here and this is by no means to bitch about the girls, I think they are lovely and I've no doubt the tail will be beautiful. I'm just stressed and frustrated.

I know I'm not a spring chicken (I'm 47) but I've always looked much younger than I was. This weekend was slammed home to me that I am no longer playing younger parts in theatre as I was given these bit parts (I'm playing multiple roles in the ensemble of the play I'm in) and all of them were older parts. The Mother, Mother Superior, the Innkeeper with all the other girls as her daughters. This is a new theatre to us and it's pretty much the first time in a long while that I wasn't being directed by a friend or acquaintance. Then, I was chatting with a girl who runs princess parties and told her I have a mermaid tail. She was all excited and asked me how much I was selling it for. I then told her that I wasn't selling it, I WAS the mermaid if she needed one. She smiled and said OK, then turned back to the other girl she had been talking about working with. It was a slap in the face. Makes me reconsider becoming a professional mermaid now.

I feel ya...I'll be 55 next month, and I'm not svelte. Not the picture that gets conjured when one thinks 'mermaid'.

I've modified my mersona to be more of a Mother Goose of the Ocean...perhaps something along those lines might suit you?

I remember when I was no longer the theater ingenue. It stung at first, but ALL the Evil Queen parts are SOOOOO delicious!

That's what I keep telling myself, lol. Thanks, Pealie. And I could go with more of a duchess or queen persona than a princess, I guess. Though honestly, I'm more of a dork than duchess. I could always be the goofball mermaid, but who would hire that for parties, lol.
