We are of the Sacred Cloister of Sister Pearl.

Doesn't that sound so... important?

@NYM - Pearl is right, distancing yourself from toxic people, even if they're related to you, can save you so much time and stress. I had to do this with my father, who values material goods way over the people in his family. He said a particular table was more important to him than me, to my face. A dining table. >_< Some people just never get it.

Since we're mermaids, can we be the Sacred Cloyster of Sister Pearl?

Or we can drop the "cl" all together and just be the Sacred Oyster of Sister Pearl....

[Merman Dan]

~sigh~ Its ok. Its not like I need to see or anything....

Oculus Reparo!

[Merman Dan]

Makes me sound religious!

We'll have nun of that around here!

I cannot help but think of the Pearl of Lao Tzu

[New York Mermaid]

I do distance myself from my sister but I keep close to my nieces. I want to move away so bad but living here I'm close to all my family, literally 40 feet away.

Lol, that is one ugly pearl... Give me the average sized, smooth, and shiny ones any day! It's a shame someone died for it.

Hahaha! Yeah! And instead of genuflecting, we adopt Raina's water spit move!

MermanDan , you're punny!

So on Friday my parents front fence fell down onto the foot path! (rotten wood and windy days aren't a good combination)
So I had to help my mum move it off the foot path and back into our front yard. But she didn't want to squash her plant. So I got a hammer and cleared a hole (really easy as the whole thing is full of rot)
so I put the lengths from the fence down and proceeded to help my mum lift it so we could put it in the front yard. and I stood on a length...on the nailed end....where there was a nice rusty nail waiting for my foot.
it went straight through my havaianas (my thong now has a drainage hole through it) and into my foot
Through some random miracle I missed all the blood vessels as it didn't bleed. So called up the health line and they told me I should go to the dr, since it's been 10years since my last tetanus injection.
Went to the Drs, she cleaned my foot and gave me my tetanus. So now I'm hobbling around the house and I'm out of parracetamol.
At least it didn't cost me anything

The other day, the local tattoo parlor had a Friday the 13th piercing special. My 15 year old talked her mother into taking her there to get her nose pierced. My wife wanted to do hers as well but then again so did I. She thought it would be stupid if I got one, so she finally said she would not get one, so long as I would not get one. The place was packed, so we went home.

The next day my wife took my daughter to another place. She called on the phone and said “So I can’t get one?”. I said “Whatever”, expecting my displeasure to be evident. As you might expect, my wife got he nose pierced. I did not speak to her the rest of the night.



The next day she continued to express her displeasure, saying that men with nose piercings were “gay”. I then proceeded to ask where she was keeping her lesbian girlfriend. That did not go over well.



I would have been fine not getting my nose pierced, if my wife had kept her side of the bargain. As it stands, I will be getting a nose ring tomorrow. I feel that I have to, now, just to put things right.

seems like she's more concerned about how you having a nose piercing reflects on HER rather than what would make you happy. Letting you get one is the easier and loving thing to do - I mean, a nose piercing can be taken out whereas a marriage takes a lot longer to heal than a tiny hole in a nose.

So I made a deal with my mom. If I took the birds into my room we could put my 110 gallon fish tank in the living room as long as it looks good. So I started plans to plant it and make it look awesome. I ran the plan by her again and she said it was fine. So I told her I was going ahead and buying a light fixture to hang over the tank.

So I bought a $140 dollar light fixture. Made plans with my grandfather to build the rig to hang it on. Even started to clean out the space for the tank and she throws a fit saying she wants the space for her stuff. Now I have a 140 dollar light fixture in my bedroom floor. Just waiting to be stepped on and broken doing nothing. I think I might just move it when she is not there with my dad. She won't be able to do shit about it since the tank is heavy as fuck empty and she has no idea how to handle the equipment.

Ever since her and my dad decided to get a divorce and she hooked up with her sorry excuse for a bf she has been acting like a kid.

Ugh, I'm so sorry Dacora- there's little worse than when the parents starts acting like the child.

These are wise words.

And incidentally, several of my male exes through the years have had their noses pierced, and it looked good on all of them. One got a funny comment by a Klingon when Star Trek Experience was still around... that was Chris, who had several piercings- nose, eyebrow, ears, tongue- and a Klingon walked up and said, "I see you have been in many battles. There is still schrapnel in your face." LOL But those piercings were hot. <3

[Merman Dan]

As it turns out, I looked through the Employee Handbook where I work and a draconian clause prohibits nose rings anyway. No worries, I'll just get another tattoo

[Mermaid_Dominique]

Ugh I'm so nervous right now, my wisdom teeth are killing me and tomorrow two of them are going to be pulled. I never had any problems with my teeth hence my fear :/. I'm afraid it's going to hurt really bad and I wish it was over already. And the worst of all is that my boyfriends' grandfather died yesterday so I have to attend another funeral next week . We saw it coming and he was pretty old but darn, this week really s*cks!
