B!TC# IT OUT!

[MermaidCelesteFL]

Ok, you know what really grinds my gears? People who give out information when they aren't qualified to do so, especially regarding the mermaid community.

I was recently invited to yet another Florida Mermaids fb group recently, and most of the girls there didn't have tails. No big deal. However, when they asked about where to start, there was an overwhelming response suggesting that they start with Mertailor basic or partial silicone tails. What bothers me most about this is not just that a handful of people suggested that some newbies invest in a bad product/company, but that some of the girls said that they haven't ever used a monofin yet and aren't good at swimming. I wouldn't even suggest getting a fabric tail until they have gotten used to the monofin, nonetheless a partial silicone/neoprin tail with no drainage.

Wooooow. That's really irresponsible advice.

I ended up leaving the group, because people kept posting stupid things like that so often without looking up the facts. That, and a complete spam of crochet mermaid tail posts, "I must be a mermaid blah blah blah" posts, and pictures of Mermaid Melissa. I think these girls are more mermaid enthusiasts than professionals. And that's okay- but it's not for me. I have enough of that in my newsfeed already.

I initially joined the group hoping to find more professional mers anyways.

You okay??

[SeaGlass Siren]

Are you ok????

[PearlieMae]

No reports of earthquake today, but we've had gusts of over 60mph! My lake looks like rough oceans!

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Wow. Well, at least the lake is pretty!

Sunday we went to trade my black and white paint horse for a big black percheron friesian cross. Got him home Sunday night, put him in the front lot by himself.

My little sister's horse kicks him through the fence and cuts him with her shoes. 😡😡

So I go up Monday morning and see that he has a big gash in his back right theigh.

(I told her I'm gonna BBQ her horse because of it, joking of course)

Anyway, been doctoring it, cleaning it, and this morning he was limping on it Because of bruising. Go figure.
My dad says, call the vet. And see if he can get some antibiotics strong enough for him because he's so big.

$40 for wound spray, and $40 for Apple flavored powder antibiotics to mix in with his feed.

I could scream right now, he's too smart for his own good. 😤

Ouch. That actually sucks.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Does that mean that the house issue is resolved?

I hope he feels better!

I had to re-sit a test today because most of the people in my class failed. I did pretty decent but I'm a little irritated that I had to re-sit a test that I did not fail in. What a lovely way to end the school term. I only have one more day though.

That sounds really annoying

Yeah it is, but let's hope I did better though! Only time will tell!

That does seem unfair. I really hope you get a much higher mark this time.

We had a similar situation at uni. I was one of the few that passed a certain exam. Everyone who failed got the chance to resit, but there grade was limited because it was a 2nd attempt. That meant they couldn't end up with a higher mark than someone who passed first time, which seems the fairest way to me.

On the bright side, I did pass my math test!

I lost a good friend yesterday in a tragic accident. Hug your friends and family. Don't worry about the small stuff. In the end, it doesn't really matter.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Hugs to YOU Sherielle.
