B!TC# IT OUT!

[Rogue Siren]

Could be lost in translation, but the term "replicate" irks me as that implies copying exactly.

[Mermaid Mystery]

Call them out. That's ridiculous, it hasn't even been 24 hours.

I sent her a PM. We'll see what she says, if she replies at all.

[SeaGlass Siren]

Oh my god call her the fuck out

[Starfrit]

That's so disrespectful, holy carp. I'll never understand why people think comments like that are okay. :/

That said, Rogue, I saw the pictures shared on my newsfeed earlier and that top is GORGEOUS! <3 I can't wait to see it when it's finished!

[Rogue Siren]

I banned them from the page and deleted their comments after I took screenshots. Sent her a message that was probably way too kind, but I told her the comment was rude and disrespectful, and told her that making a copy is a form of stealing. She can try making a top with lights if that's her thing, but it's not easy. Just don't "replicate" it

And thank you, Tieri!

That's really a mature, reasonable response! Nice! I hope it all works out! ^-^

I had to work 32 hours last week, 24 hours total Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I'm still tired as f**k! I'm mostly annoyed about missing Thanksgiving with my family and not being able to work on any of my mermaid tail projects and that I'm most likely getting sick again.

Have an update, she responded and I feel so much better now.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

She handled that well!

I'm glad that worked out.

It's been a year or more since my mom got into a accident and got a DUI, I think she stopped taking her medicine a month ago and started drinking again. I don't know how to feel, I don't know if I'm angry or sad or frustrated. It just seems like everything was going right for a while but now it's going to go down the drain.

Oh Kelly. That's awful.

That's so tough to watch, Kelly. I'm so sorry. It sounds like there may be a deeper issue at play. I'll be praying for you and your mom. That's just so disheartening.

Addiction is a hard disease to fight. There are support groups for the families of addicts. You aren't alone. Many families have to watch members make harmful choices. Find a place where you feel safe dealing with your feelings and the frustration. You aren't responsible for her choices but are being hurt by them. Hugs from your friendly nurse mermaid.

Just the other day my parents got a bunch of free fruit from a nice farming family we know. Just this morning we got a call that the wife committed suicide.

So far all we know is she was having an argument with her husband about a sandwich (we don't know if she made him a sandwich and he complained about it or something) but anyways things escalated so much in the argument that she went and got a gun and shot herself in the head in front of her husband. She leaves behind several sons, the youngest I think is 12.

I just wish she would have known that her life was worth living... We are all really shaken up right now and I just feel so sorry for their family.

[Azurin Luna]

That's so sad to hear
But I think there might have been more going on then an argument about a sandwich. So sad she can't be helped now

So, I try to keep pretty quiet about this sort of thing, but I'm seriously just pissed right now and there's nothing I can do. I'm on a birth control device called Nexplanon that is inserted under the skin of the arm. It is the most effective type of birth control out there, but it's basically been hell for me. I have a literal laundry list of side effects that get worse daily and nothing works to stem the tide. I don't look, feel, or act like the same person anymore and it's awful. My poor husband has had to watch my anxiety and depression sky rocket, deal with my daily mood swings, and watch me basically spiral out of control. I've gained 65 pounds with MORE diet and exercise than before the stupid device went in, I've developed cystic acne, I have daily debilitating migraines, and I have the equivalent of morning sickness at least twice a week.

Honestly, the thing that pissed me off the most is that they don't warn people about these side effects. Sure, they half-heartedly list a few things, but nothing like what a great majority of users actually go through. If I had known that this was going to be my experience, I never would have gotten the little fucker put in to begin with!

I'm scheduled to get my implant removed in a few days, but I've been warned that it could be months before I'm back to my old self and that some of the effects, like the anxiety, could stick around for good. So, yeah, there's my little rant. Thanks for reading.

Girl, I feel you. It's crap too, because there's totally a male birth control option in other countries with almost 100% success rate and no side effects. The FDA just hates women or something, and men don't wanna know they're shooting blanks. Grrrrr....

I had a similar experience with the Depo shot. I was so exhausted that I was basically bedridden, plus I didn't stop bleeding for almost three straight months, plunging me into severe anemia that I never recovered from.

Best wishes and good thoughts for your recovery.

My friend was on that I believe. Supposed to last 4 years apparently. She got it last year but she's 37 weeks pregnant now.
Edit: I've heard the shot is so bad. I've had a similar bleeding experience, but it was 2 months. I also had the anemia problem. I'm on a stable pill right now but I want to change without the crazy side effects of everything.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

That is awful. Awful, awful, awful.

All of the above. Awful. A friend of mine was on the more regular Pill. She had to have an abortion last year and she's still suffering from the resulting depression.

On another note: my grandmother's rather consequential one night stand is dying, so my mother and I are rushing out to Texas to see him. I had work today but completely forgot about it till approximately 10:30 pm. I REALLY hope I don't get fired. I mean, my boss is really super chill, but still.

Plus I don't ready want my grandpa dying yet, when I've met him all of once and considered my grandma's current husband to be my grandpa in all ways that really matter.

I just don't know him, so I feel a terrible sense of incompletion.
