B!TC# IT OUT!

[Mermaid Mystery]

Results are back. It's cancer.

[Saelyyia]

Oh my....Mystery I am so sorry *hugs*

[SeaGlass Siren]

Just to let everyone know I've read every single post here... And I offer you my deepest sympathies, express the greatest anger, and flipping all the tables.

We have more information. It's lymphoma. She started chemo today. I'm so nervous. She's still my little baby, she doesn't deserve to go through all of this.

Try to keep your hope and mentality up Mermaid Mystery: the stronger you are, the less stress your pet will feel and hopefully, it will help you significantly as well. Animals are extremely resilient even when they are so sick. My dog has had an extremely aggressive form of cancer which, in the week preceding the visit to the vet, made her feel terrible, so much so that she did very little other than eat small amounts. Even then, and after the sudden surgery which left her in a bit of pain (even on the meds) and the lessened her mobility for several months, she still was pretty happy and continued to fight to get back to her normal self.

Lymphoma is a different type of cancer than what my dog had, but I understand the fear of losing your baby and the heartache that comes with their suffering during treatment. If you want to talk, feel free to message me.

Update on my story: I contacted a friend of mine who has close ties to the con community and asked why I wasn't invited. The people running the event said that they won't go into detail, but I am definitely not welcome there. If I want to get back on their good graces, I can talk to them after the party is over and apologize.

F that. I'm not apologizing for anything. And I'm not kissing anyone's butt so that I can have friends again.

Bye Felicia.

Hugs to all!

Stressed beyond, Im currently having trouble coping with something, other than my health.

How do I handle someone who is spiteful and two faced to me, and who has disrespected my family. The problem is, there are people who see this person as sweet and nice, but this person has that 'holier that thou' attitude and even has gone as far as having others spy on me, what I do, where I go, only to talk about me behind my back (and you wonder why im such an introvert). I try to avoid them as much as possible, but it continues on.

I feel that If I tell them something I'll get ripped apart by their 'groupies', and be forever labeled as a mean person. But at the same time I don't want to be a doormat. Im sorry but Im so tired of it.


-----
I Also want to add in that Im super tired of being Copied, in other things. Being a copycat doesn't make you better than the original. There was a person in one of my groups who alot of my members were not fond of because this person was known to not only cause drama but talk about people behind their back, unfortunately someone added them into the group and I was consistently messaged (by group members mind you) to have that person removed from the group. I did remove that person, suddenly they create a group not even a few hours later. I mean really.. No interest in things what so ever, suddenly I bend to my group only for this person to go and do this.

Really tired of the spiteful things, you think at their age they would have grown out of their teenage antics. I do what's best for my groups, if they don't feel safe or comfortable with this person (myself included) , I wont have them there. Im tired of being the bigger person and holding my tongue, that's for sure.

I feel like a bad lizard mom because my babby is borderline obese because whenever my mom feeds her she gives in to those puppy dog eyes and gives her too much. She's been on a diet but she's not losing any weight. I stopped feeding her crickets because she never eats them and they're annoying and more likely to carry parasites but they were her main source of exercise. I have no lizard-proof areas in the house and I've got other pets so I have almost nowhere to walk her. I don't know what to do I feel so terrible.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Ouch. Good luck. Maybe knit or crochet a little lizard harness so you can bring her outside?

[Starfrit]

Wellp, it's come to the point where, depending on how things go this summer... I might just end up selling my tail.

It's nothing with the tail itself, it's just that the ban here in town is just getting worse, not better— my old spot's "thinking" about lifting the ban when their new center opens, but it's still not for certain... The only place I can find that's (apparently) letting people swim there is like three towns over and almost a half hour's drive. I don't have a car, I don't drive, and I can't justify suckering someone into driving that far out just so I can swim for less than an hour.

And I'm terrible at talking to people about this because of my anxiety, like I have to spend thirty minutes just to hype myself up to make a single phonecall anywhere and then I just feel sick afterwards. I'm bad at talking to people I don't know, I can't take the lead on anything so I'd never get anything done with a petition...

I've had my tail for almost a year and swam in it twice. It's a thousand-dollar piece of closet space, and it's breaking my fuckin' heart. But there's nowhere indoors where I can take it, and there's maybe a month and a half in the year where the water's even manageable enough for outdoor swimming here...

I dunno, man. I'm just really fucking bummed lately.

[Kaila Mermaid]

I got my leggings from Lotus and all went well

[Kaila Mermaid]

Please disregard last post. It was meant as a response to a waaayyy earlier topic and my phone just now caught up >< dangit tapatalk.
Mystery I'm so sorry to hear... And don't sell your tail Tieri! Murphies law as soon as you sell it they'll lift the ban

[Mermaid Mystery]

Ouch. Good luck. Maybe knit or crochet a little lizard harness so you can bring her outside?

I've thought about it, it's too cold right now but idk. she might be too small for a harness.

[Mermaid Alea]

Ok this might be a stupid question, but is there a way to have a lizard hamster wheel? I saw a big 'hamster' wheel at an animal rescue that a bunch of raccoon kits were running in. They really loved it! I don't know if a lizard would use one or not.

[Mermaid Mystery]

I'm researching it, it would have to be pretty big though. Hamster wheels cause spinal issues if they aren't big enough, and smiles is a big longer than the average hamster haha. I don't know if she would know what to do.

[Ilyena]

Same with us here, the bans are getting f$^#en rediculous, literally the only place we have is the ocean where kids can hurt themselves even more. No one will listen to reason and the fact it was some idiot's fault.

[Starfrit]

The ocean isn't even an option where I live— not only is the water insanely cold, but the tides and undercurrents are both unpredictable and REALLY strong, so it's easy to get hurt or worse if you're not careful— and where I'm still only learning with my tail (largely because NOBODY WILL LET ME SWIM IN THE BLOODY THING AAARRRGGHHH), that's not a risk I feel comfortable taking.

Le sigh.

[Sherielle]

I love being ignored.
Oh wait....no....I hate it.
But I always seem to be. I guess I say things or do things that people don't like. I get that but if no one ever fucking tells me what I'm doing, how in the hell can I stop?

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Ouch, Sherielle. Definitely been in that situation before.
