I'm just so done with this particular girl in my drama class. There's no point in reasoning with her because she never listens. Telling me what to do when she NEVER contributes. I'm just.so.done. *facepalm*

We seem to have the worst luck when it comes to vacations.

The day before the vacation: My home AC decides to fail. At the time we are having the worst heat wave of the year, with temperatures over 100F. Not too much of an issue, except for our three cats, who will be left alone in a hot house.
I call a repair guy to come out. Its Sunday, so its expensive. He cannot find anything easy to fix, says it looks like the compressor. He needs to talk to the manufacturer (which means he needs to come back on a weekday), to be sure.

My step son and daughter visit the house once a day to check on things, and they say they know someone. I let them call that someone to look at it on Tuesday, our travel day. We get to the airport, board the plane, and sit. And sit. And sit. An hour later they say the plane's #2 AC is broken, and to lock it out they need to turn off #1, which means unloading the passengers, doing the work, and re-loading. (The flight can proceed with just one AC, but its an hour to lock out the broken unit, so they were trying to fix the broken unit first. But eventually they had to just go with it.) While we are in the middle of re-loading, I get a call from the AC repair people. It is the compressor, and its $6500 for a new unit. Two silicone tails. With little choice, I tell them to proceed, all the while trying to get through the line to get on the plane.
Of course, due to the delay, we miss the connecting flight. Fortunately, while we were unloaded, we got a replacement flight.
We get to the destination, but our luggage does not. It did not make the flight change. The luggage with my tail in it.

We get to the house we are renting. I check my e-mail. The quote from the repair people is in it. The quote I was given over the phone was wrong: At the time he did not realize I have a fancy, high efficiency unit ( a SEER 16, two stage whole house heat pump.) A new unit is $8500. Three tails.

Recovery: I decide to let the first guy take a second look and give me his quote.
The airline delivers our lost luggage. We were missing it for only 18 hours.
The original repair guy notices that my AC is still under warranty (nice of repair people #2 to not mention that), but installation of a new compressor is a messy job. So its going to cost $1800, but that's still almost $7000 less than before.

This afternoon: Time to walk across the street and go for a tail swim in the gulf of Mexico. Maybe there will be a thunderstorm sometime today. I can see one in the distance.....

OK, dealing with two pigs on another message site who are being nasty, harassing, evil, vile, and egotistical. I'm banned suddenly and have not been told why. I and others are being treated horribly and those of us who have gone through the proper channels are being ignored and permanently banned. The two in authority are abusing their stations, and harassing peopl. The one told my friend to choose between his FIANCEE and being his 'friend' they've purposely harassed these two by encouraging people to flirt with the guy in order to get the girl angry so that they could ban her. This is worse, because the two in authority used to be very close friends of mine and once upon a time they weren't giant assholes. I tried to speak kindly and honestly with the one and he yelled at me because suddenly the offshoot site that has been around longer than he has is supposedly breaking rules, even though there are a lot of these kinds of sites. Anyways I've been registered there since '03 and can't believe how horribly I and a massive number of others are being treated because someone has a giant ego. Cried and had stomach problems and nearly threw up. I've managed some cereal tonight for dinner but that's it...

Someone called me out on IG because I support SeaWorld. They asked me to watch "Blackfish" to change my mind.

I'm doing my best not to start a flame war here as well, so let's just say that I'm not moving on my stance, and I'm really irritated with people who try to convince me otherwise.

[Shimmer Mermaid]

Some people should mind their own business. Agree to disagree. I dont personally agree with seaworld, but I have my own reasons as to why I don't. And I'm sure you have your reasons as to why you support them. It's not right to bring it up publicly like on IG and make a big ordeal over it.

I understand some of the reasons people support it. Everything is like this, unfortunately, "if you dont agree with what I believe in-you're automatically wrong, and a terrible person."

I recently got yelled at on IG through comments where everyone could see and join in, because I'm not T TOTALLY against using a bit on a horse. I agree that some people use them to an extreme extent, but when used properly, and the right bit is used with a delicate hand, it's a handy learning tool.

Breastfeeding vs bottle feeding Is the same way

As is pretty much everything, you just gotta ignore it and not let it get you riled up.

[MermaidCelesteFL]

Oh man... I'm also a supporter of breast feeding, and get a little upset when I have anti-vax friends that post the same picture of the baby doll with all of the shots hanging out of it.

I hate my bank sometimes.

So I recieve an email today at 5pm saying that I need to activate my new debit card that has a chip in it. They go on to say that they will be deactivating my current debit card on 7/12/2016.

Here's the thing, I didnt recieve a new debit card with a chip. It hasn't been activated,because I dont have it.

So I call customer support, and the dude on the line has no idea what I'm talking about and says I just need to activate my new card. and I have to mansplain to him that I dont have one. Finally the poor bloke catches on, and says they will mail a new chip debit card to me.

the best part? My current debit card will be deactivated until the new one arrives. over 2 weeks earlier than they said in the email. excuse me? And when I explained that was unacceptable, as I dont use credit, and pay all of my bills and handle business transactions through that card number, it needs to stay open and available. Apparently the banks solution was to tell me to get a temp card from my local branch, which means going through ALL OF MY AUTO PAY ACCOUNTS and changing the card number, and dealing with the verification of that process, only to have to do that AGAIN when the official new card arrives that has a chip in it.

So basically my bank has locked up my debit account for at least 2 weeks, with no solution for me. and my bills are due in a week.

I know its not the customer service guys fault, he's just the messenger, and I was trying to not be an ass to him. But damnit. I hate my bank right now.

I am 28 weeks along on Thursday, which is also the day I go in for my second ultrasound, and my glucose test. Meaning-i have to drink some horrible tasting punch stuff, then have blood drawn to check my sugar levels.

I dont care to drink the punch, but I frakkin hate having my blood pulled.
Haaaaaate it. I'd rather have to eat nothing but oatmeal for the rest of my life than have my blood drawn.

I am more nervous for getting my blood drawn than I am for delivery to be quite honest.

I have one tattoo, probably will never get another, because just the idea of needles, and essentially, it was more of a "hes already started permanently drawing on my skin, i have to let him finish."

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Good luck, Shimmer!

[LouLouBelle]

Good luck Shimmer - hopefully it won't be as bad as your dreading!

I can sympathise to a certain extent as I hate having blood drawn and usually go light headed... I'm surprised they're resorting to that if it's just glucose testing, though - surely that could just be done using a finger prick?

Either way, good luck! It'll all be worth it in the end.

May be TMI: but oh well

My husband is at work and sent me a text essentially asking me to send him a boob picture, which I don't mind, we've sexted before, what married couple hasn't done something similar?

So I'm usually like "yaaaas I love my breasts, they are so nice, and I love the shape, and everything." essentially my boob confidence is through the roof most times.

Well I went to go take a pic, and well, I'm pregnant, my boobs have changed. I feel like I'm rocking a pair of traffic cones with eyes.

Either way, I sent the pic, and he's praising my chest, and I feel like I've lost my breast confidence.

My chest has gotten bigger since getting pregnant, I feel unappreciative of my mammary glands and I dont know what even to say. 😓
