My cat is refusing to eat :huh: Not totally, she's still eating her dry food and treats she can't get enough of, but she won't eat her wet food. I know she wants a different flavor. There are only three flavors left and one she's decided she doesn't like anymore, but she was eating the other two. Now this is the third day in a row she hasn't eaten breakfast (well, it's still early, hopefully she'll eat it today).
Her medicine for her arthritis is in her breakfast though and if she doesn't eat it, she's not getting the medicine. I can't really tell if these pills are working or not either. She still sometimes drags her back legs a little and she absolutely doesn't like her hips touched. The bottle is almost out and I don't know if I should get another one or not. It's $17. Money is going to be extra tight because DCF cut off my EBT.
Thank you :hug: I do have a high calorie gel that I mix in gravy and she eats that. It's supposed to stimulate her appetite too. She was coughing a little bit ago, so maybe she has a hairball.
When she woke me up this morning, I could hear her stomach making noise. She did nibble at her breakfast today, hopefully she'll eat it all.
I was thinking about the arthritis pills more and I don't think they are doing much for her. If they eased pain at all I can't tell. She cried and bit me yesterday when I tried to cut out a mat on her hip. She really doesn't like them being touched. So I don't think I'll get those pills again.
@Rainlove - I'm 99% sure that G3 ponies officially hit store shelves in 2003, because I remember having Rainbow Dash to take my first uni graduation which was July 2003. It may be there are ponies with 2002 on the hooves, and almost certainly that's the case...but I don't recall any of those ponies being out in the season before that summer. I think they hit the US in the spring, because I was sent one from California in June that got delayed in transit. I remember a mad scramble to find another one, and my friend managed to find RD in her TRU in the Uk in July, the week before I graduated. It was just enough time for me to make her gown and hat for the ceremony. That was the same time as Wysteria, Kimono etc were out, so I would think 2003 is correct.ok. thanks for the info
A word of note on MLPMerch though.
Most big ID sites that try to cover multiple generations should be treated with care. With the exception of the Wiki (which has gaps but does have multiple editors), the site owners are usually experts on one generation, and have added the others by hitting up google, but their information may not be 100% reliable for these other generations.
MLPMerch built its reputation on its stellar knowledge of G4, but their earlier pony information is based on stuff they've found on other sites (some of which is erroneous). You might find it better to try a more G3 centric site to be sure.
My trivial complaint for today - I was woken up last night by very loud rain and a storm. We're meant to have more today. I don't like storms :/.
@BC, I won a contest last year on another site which involved an art commission. I never got my prize and the person has since disappeared. I know that RL happens, but again, communication is so important. At least a "sorry, I can't get to it at the moment because x y z" would be polite...
This is not at all trivial but I hate to make a new topic in WYP.
I need to take my cat to the vet but my niece is out of town with friends, my dad is still in the hospital and I don't know anyone else with a car. I priced Uber and to go to the vet, then go to my mom's, then go back to my place would cost $66 with tip. I can't afford that.
I hate this. I was always so "if you can't afford the vet, you can't afford the pet" when I still had my disability payments, but now I'm in this position myself. I don't think she is suffering. She's been sleeping a lot. But she hasn't eaten and she was only 4 lbs before, now she's just bones. I force fed her the high calorie gel I have. I gave her two servings, which are for cats 10lbs and over. She is still drinking water though.
She's a month shy of her 20th birthday.
Also, today it's been a year since my sister died. It still seems like it just happened.
I bought the wrong kind of omeprazole. It's the same medicine, but it's in tablet form instead of capsule. I don't like the tablets.
When I went to check out from Walmart.com for a delivery, it tried to charge me $6.99 for having an order under the minimum of $35. I thought Walmart+ members were exempt from minimum charges. I got on the chat and asked the guy, but he said it's the shipping minimum that we don't get charged, not for delivery. I was super confused because I buy small orders of food often and never get charged, but he looked into it and said that was because I use my EBT card. If I wanted to buy veggies with my debit card I'd be charged the extra for delivery if under $35. So I learned that today. That's kind of a bummer. I didn't want to be charged 7 bucks arbitrarily so I added more things to my order to get over $35.
I get mine from the doctor, you can buy some over the counter here but you have to pay for that and to me doesn't seem to work as well as the stuff prescribed?
Here too Taff, plus the inevitable wind you get for living on the coast...
Didn't want to walk all the way to the cashpoint so got a £10 from the Post Office, then got to coffee, bought my fave treats, & was told there the Post Office (our ONLY post office, & the next nearest is * miles away) is closing at the end of October!!! :sad:
Like, I'm not the only one who needs it for posting parcels in winter for Christmas Presents... NOT HAPPY!!!
Apparently though, the local community is getting a generator for in case there's a power cut. I hope so; I'd love some boiled water for hot drinks & my water bottle...
I try not to be "that guy" and whine about these kids and their new-fangled modern slang but my god, if I have to see one more person say "fit" instead of "outfit"...!

I take this as a sign I'm definitely now old.
the business slang/jargon is worse to me. maybe it's because it's what i have to hear the most. "circle back", "talk offline", ugh. what's worse is i find myself saying these things.
Even worse when two shorthands can mean two different things -_-

The one that always gets me is when people put "/POS" for a tone indicator or w/e they're called. I get that it means "positive", but my brain always goes to.. umm... something I can't say on the Arena. :blush:
I've got another one!!!!!
So I play Animal Jam on my I Pad, and I went to someones den, they "said" that they were doing a sapphire drop in their den. I need sapphires desperately so I went to their den and when I arrived, I saw that in their den they had pillows arranged to say the F word. Instantly reported them for inappropriate den. Then the den owner arrived and said that they lied about the sapphire drop and started bullying all the people who were in the den. They repeatedly bullied me, called me names, and called others rude names. Lied about their age. Locked their den and unlocked it. Went back to give them a piece of my mind. Told both people their behavior is not ok. A buddy of mine in the game told me to go to their den and the bullies followed. The bullies called people names, threatened a jammer to give them their outfit or they won't leave us all alone. The person who was threatened first gave in and basically got scammed. They then threatened someone else to give them their entire outfit except a blackout collar. Which I think is stupid. I kept telling the bullies no and reported both of them for bulling, scamming, inappropriate behavior and den. They also said they make new accounts daily so then they can't be stopped. I took multiple screenshots of the bullies. If you guys play Animal Jam on phone or i pad, then let me know and I can discuss with you too. I feel terrible and depressed thinking about the names I was called. :(
Yes, AJ requires an email to be set up through. I was thinking about the IP addresses. You can't change your user after you made one. You are right about not being online when they are online.I've got another one!!!!!

They sound like a bunch of pathetic losers. Just ignore them and report them. If they keep bothering you while you're online, turn off the game every time they show up. They can't harass you if you're not there to harass.
Is this a game that requires an email address like Neopets? If so, the mods should be able to block their emails to prevent them from creating new accounts. If not, maybe you need to ask the mods to ban their IP addresses. It can be done and it would block them from using whatever device they're using wi-fi on. So they'd have to make an effort to find a new McDonald's, Library, or other public area to create new accounts every day. According to the Animal Jam website you can block them, and I'd be willing to bet their new usernames are similar to the ones they've already used so if you keep a list of their usernames you might be able to spot them ahead of time eventually. Can you change your username without setting up a new account so they can't find you again? That might deter them as well.
I'm sorry that happened to you Rainlove. :( I've never understood why some people think it's okay to bully others online just because you can't see who's behind the screenname. Unless it's a bot, there's a real person behind each screenname or avatar.Its alr. It is not ok to cyberbully others. I was terribly bullied my freshman year of high school. I can agree this is not ok to do.
Aster is acting weird today like she is afraid of everything.

Taffeta, i hope you can get your invitation. i graduated in December and didn't go to graduation because i was so ready to just move on. but i wish i had. it was so weird since i pretty much just stopped going to class and that was that. having more closure and having my parents make a little bit of a fuss about me would have been nice. you're getting your PhD right? that's a huge accomplishment! congratulations :accomplished:
One of my “exes”/former friend (long story there) just texted me out of the blue after TWO YEARS of no contact. We had a small conversation and he texted after me that I’m not as “fun” as I was when we hung out years ago. UH OKAY. First of all it’s been two flipping years since we talked, probably closer to four since we hung out so my life isn’t the same at all! Secondly, how on earth do you even gauge that from a quick text conversation?? Lastly, if you think I’m boring fine, but why do you need to say it? Just stop texting me then.
He’s such a jerk. I should have probably just ignored his message but I wanted to be friendly. In some ways it’s validated my feeling about him though. I often wondered if I was responsible for kind of pushing his buttons when we were together, but this whole interaction reminded me that he just does say really mean things unprompted.
I probably won’t even respond. Like what do you even say to that anyway?
Maybe she isn't used to wet food or prefers the dry stuff. What if you only put out half a can instead of a whole one to see if she eats it all? Then you don't have to throw out half of it. You can save the other half for later.
My complaint is that my brother (and maybe his most recent...baby mama for lack of nicer/more accurate term) is moving back home because he was (yet again) evicted (surprise surprise). My parents don't know what to do with him. I bought a lock for my door today because I don't want him pawning off my dvds, cds, video games, video game consoles, and laptop for drug money. My dad even said that as long as he was here they wouldn't be going to see any of my niblings sporting events in Wyoming because they can't trust him here and if they take him he'll just make the trip miserable. My parents actually agreed to make him sleep downstairs after I complained about having to clean the toilet every time I need to use it because he literally pees all over it, so at least there's that.
I love my brother but I do not trust him. :sad:
I’ve had a bad day today.
First I had to go into the office instead of working from home today, so I’ve been extra tired due to having to get up earlier than usual today.
After work I stopped by a brewery to pick up a shirt they owed me. The brewery was on the way home from work, but it’s on a tiny street with very limited parking. In an attempt to find a spot I ended up in some tiny alleyway and as I was doing a 3 point turn to get turned around my tire got stuck on something and I ended up hitting the wall behind me when I hit the gas to try and get off. Luckily there doesn’t seem to be any damage other than a small scuff at the back of the car, but I was really scared I wouldn’t get out. Then I was leaving someone had pulled in behind me and didn’t leave a lot of room for me to back out of my space. After everything I realized there were 15 minute pick up spots I +ovule have parked in around the corner to get my stuff.
Then when I got home I got a letter from my HOA saying they are going to impose fines on me for “landscape violations”. I have some vines that grow up my back patio wall, but they have been there since I moved in and presumably for many years before that because they were even more wild when I moved in! At one point a few weeks ago I will admit I had let them get unruly, but Ive since trimmed them way back to the point where you can hardly even see them over my fence. Other people have large plants in their backyard so I don’t understand why suddenly there is a problem. They add so much color to my backyard that I don’t want to get rid of them. I need to try and call the HOA I guess but I doubt they will give me any grace, it seems like they have decided they want the vines gone. :(
I got new neighbors around the time the first complaint came in…..but they’re renters and I own so it doesn’t seem like they should have a right to complain? My patio is completely separate from theirs and the vines don’t grow over or anything. Their patio also looks like a hot mess where they are just dumping extra furniture. Maybe it’s not them who complained, but the timing is awfully suspicious…..
Not a trivial complaint, it remains to be seen whether it will be resolved.
So you guys know that I didn't get to graduate in 2020 because of the pandemic, right?
I've emailed the department a few times asking what is happening, with no reply.
Much earlier this year I had an email saying it would likely be december, wait for further information.
Today I discovered graduation is happening on Dec 8th.
Only...I haven't been invited.
They have not sent me any information about the ceremony, dates, ordering gown, tickets, any of that. Nothing.
I am hoping to get my graduation deferred to the summer ceremony, but any chance I had to graduate with anyone I actually know has definitely gone now. Even all the students I taught have graduated ahead of me - except those I taught via zoom in the spring.
I am really upset about this. Graduation is important to me, because even though graduation ceremonies suck, they're a rite of passage that cements an achievement. And it's not annoying enough that if I graduate in the summer, it will have no relevance to me - but that they didn't think it important enough to invite me to attend.
I'm sure I just got lost in their email migration, but honestly, having to fight for everything is tiring and stressful. I didn't need to have to fight for this as well.
What makes it worse is that all of this could have been avoided. I should have been able to graduate in 2019, but because the doctoral school broke a promise to me about expediting my thesis to the examiners, I missed the deadline. They were meant to do that so I could do my viva before one of my examiners went to Japan, but in the end he had to attend via skype. And all of this has happened because of them as well, because if I had graduated in 2019, it would all have been done and dusted by now.
(Note, my school usually only does graduation in July, this dec ceremony is specially scheduled for graduates like me who missed out because of lockdown. Just apparently I'm not wanted there).
It's very trivial and selfish, but I want snow :P
I didn't noticed I was standing on a fire ant mound until multiple started biting my ankle. So sorry ants, for standing on your house. Now I have itchy, stinging welts all over my foot and ankle as well as one bite between my fingers.
I had to clip my nails and i'd waited too long, so now the tips of my fingers are very sore and peeling. When I did my toes I accidentally cracked one and it started to bleed. Now it's all jagged and gets caught on my sock. I tried to fix it but it hurts too much. I've always hated cutting my toenails.
My new desk came. I was uncomfortable and dizzy trying to put it together sitting in a chair, so I decided to get on the floor and do it. It went fine except for three screws I can't get to line up. I needed a flashlight to see in the hole, so I tried to get up... I almost couldn't do it. I'm so weak. I could hardly lift myself up :sad:
My complaint is the mail. Yesterday I received a package from Amazon, which is not unusual and I am waiting for several things. So I open it and there is a big container with large dog treats in it (Wellness brand too, expensive). I do not have a dog. I checked the address and everything is correct, my name, my unit number, the street address... there was another thing in the box wrapped up so I unwrapped it and it's a coffee mug that says 'Fabulous since 1923'. I'm assuming the right recipient had their 99th birthday recently and also own a large-ish dog (you can only have dogs under a certain weight in the complex though, so it can't be TOO big). Because the address was mine, I can't track down where it was supposed to go to. I know my neighbor is old and has an old, small dog, but I don't think she's 99 and I don't think her dog would be able to chew these treats. I'll ask her though if she knows anyone fitting the description.
Still complaining about the mail, so the wrong package ended up at my door, but three (3) packages from Amazon are at the mailbox. WHYYYYYYYYYYY do they do that. Does USPS sometimes carry packages from Amazon? That's the only explanation I can think of.
I would contact Amazon and let them know they sent you the wrong items. It sounds to me like someone put the wrong mailing label on the box. Maybe they can track down who it really belongs to. I know out where I live our local post office is usually given the last leg of shipments, including stuff from FedEx and UPS sometimes. It's because we're so rural. So it's entirely possible that your Amazon packages were sent to the post office for the last leg of the trip.
our downstairs tenant decided to start smoking cigarettes in his room at 12:30 pm last night. I immediately noticed it because I am very allergic and suddenly started having an asthma attack that took until 3 am to subside...
My complaint is the same. My implant hurts. My right eye has pressure behind it and my right temple feels strange. Last night it was really bad. I see the Social Security doctor tomorrow. I'll mention it to him, maybe he can write me a prescription for a CT Scan.
Aster threw up in the night, a lot. I almost stepped in it this morning. Wouldn't be the first time. I need to make her new grass, the one by the window is done, I think.
BC, Oh that sounds really bad! :( I hope you can see a doctor soon and find out what's wrong! :heart:
Oh dear Aster, trouble with hairballs? :huh:
I hate January, I always find it a hard month to slog through. It's dark and cold and all the pretty lights are taken down. Current state of the UK not really helping. Train strikes make it harder to get away somewhere, after 2+ years of having to lockdown because govt are incompetent. Sigh. Anyways.
Also, trying to write this story of mine. Which would be fine except I can't work out how to start the prologue. It has 7 chapters so far, but the next one will link to the prologue...so I need to write it. And I can't...><
BC, Oh that sounds really bad! :( I hope you can see a doctor soon and find out what's wrong! :heart:
Oh dear Aster, trouble with hairballs? :huh:
I didn't get a chance to tell the doctor today about my implant ache. I'll have to make an appointment with my PCP and I guess if it continues or gets worse, go to the ER.
It was a lot of food she hacked up so I think she overate and it upset her stomach. She's vomited three times since I've had her and it's always been food, so I don't think she has a bad hairball. Usually when it's that, they puke mucus and saliva. I did give her some hairball treatment though just as regular maintenance.
--
So about that doctor visit... my appointment was at 10:30, I got there at 9:30. I didn't see the doctor until 1:30. I just home a little while ago. I have a killer headache and I'm starving (food is on its way and I took some medicine for my head). It was the disability doctor. He spent like 5 minutes with me after I waited so long :mad: And of course he doesn't tell me anything. It's all a big secret. So now I get to wait some more as they use his evaluation to determine my case.
Also, while I was waiting I stepped outside for a few minutes just to walk around a little and get out of the tiny waiting room. This dude followed me and tried to talk to me. I was like, dude no. Go away. I had to go back inside to keep him from bothering me.
On a news programme, there was this interview with a young couple where the girl was terminally ill with cancer, and when they found out she was not gonna make it, the boyfriend proposed and they got married within a month which I thought was so brave and sweet. My husband watched this, turned to me and said: "good for him, now he's getting all her money when she dies". My very warm, loving, friendly, goodhearted husband turned to one of the biggest a******s I've ever encountered and I just stared at him. Didn't know what to say to this inconsiderate b******t. I'm so mad!

Just point out he'll also be responsible for all her debt and medical bills so there probably won't be much left after that.

My social security case was denied.
Saturday night one of the games on my tablet quit working. Since the game data is stored in a cloud sometimes you can delete the game, redownload it, log back in to your account and all of your game data is still there. I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to redownload it and never could get it to work. I know it's just a game, but I've spent a lot of time on it and it's not something that I want to restart from the beginning. I'm trying to download it again today.

Whoever invented sliding doors suck. Who thought they were a good idea, as opposed to a normal door? It's easy for them to fall off the top track, it's a pain to put it back on track. You end up smashing your fingers and fighting with it, and the Gods help you if it's made of heavy glass or solid wood.

One of the cats have pooped in the litterbox and not covered it. It stinks all the way to the livingroom. I don't have the energy to get up and shovel it. I have to sit in the stink. But so does he!

:lmao: Sorry, but this started to make me laugh and this is a very familiar phenomenon for us too! Hector is often such a busy cat that he doesn't have time to cover up his poop and instead goes crazy and runs around the house! Sometimes it's even so busy that the poo follows the cat around the house! Then I'm in a hurry and panic to clean it! :freak: On Wednesday, there was cause for a little panic and haste, because Hector decided to tint the green blanket that was on the armchair to new, slightly brown shades... with a smell! :X :facepalm:
I still have pain in my side but it's gotten better. Today though, my ankle is bruised and hurts. I vaguely remember banging it on something? Maybe? And my eczema has spread more but it's at the pain stage and not the itchy stage. I think I like it better when it hurts and not itchy.
I saw that cat again. He always seems to go the same direction and I can't see far enough to see if he goes to an apartment. He must belong to someone. I hate that they let him out, especially since people speed on this road.
I actually got in an argument on Facebook with a lady who claimed she CAN'T keep her cat indoors because "he likes being outside". Would you treat a child the same way? "Oh, but she likes ice cream so she eats it whenever she wants." No. You can absolutely keep your cat indoors and yeah, he might try to run out, but that's when you stop him, or go get him, or put him somewhere before you open the door. And if your cat doesn't like being inside give him more to do. Play with him, get some some interactive toys, get another cat. No cat NEEDS to be outside! :rant:

WHY do people go to the theatre and then spend most of the show glued to their phone?!?! If you want to spend the night checking your socials, stay at home!! Argh!!!! It's so distracting when there's someone two seats in front playing with their phone all through the show :/ And the rub is that you can't even really say or do anything when they're that far away from you. heck even when they're closer to you, it's difficult cause I don't want to talk during the show and add to the problem! >_<
I just genuinely don't understand why you'd spend money (it's not like theatre shows are free!!) and then not even WATCH the show. Someone else in the audience was filming at one point and that's also bad/distracting, but at least they were watching it, I suppose? Unlike this other person who was on Instagram or something... with their sound on at one point... :enraged:
My sister has COVID. Again. So she won't be here for Mother's Day. She was due to come today but...nope.
BC, do you use Spotify on an iPhone? sometimes turning the phone off and on helps or removing the app and reinstalling as a last resort. if you uninstall you will have to re login and download stuff again.
So you're supposed to walk on the left side on the walkway/road outside. Most people do, but some don't. People are people. On our way home from the grocery store we met a woman on the "wrong" side clearly off in her thoughts and instead of getting out from her way, John just stood fast and refused to move so she almost bumped into him. I tried to move him and he just stood there, smiling and she looked so confused. It was so embarrassing!

In the UK I don't think we really have that rule except in certain places where it's signposted, but we do have cycle tracks and pedestrian paths alongside each other. And cyclists will cycle wherever they want to, irrespective of the markings. It's technically illegal for a cyclist to come up on the pavement here, but they do it and nothing happens.
There was a survey a while back in London that showed over 60% of cyclists there ignore things like red lights and don't give way to pedestrians on crossings where they should be stopping.
Walking behind slow people, or around people who decide to fill the path is annoying...but nothing is as bad as a rogue cyclist. (I say rogue, but the majority of cyclists don't seem to know the highway code).
Feeling sad today :sad:
To keep on topic though, I think I need to replace my faucet filter. My water tastes like dirt.
I had one of those back in school and there's a test that you didn't study for dreams last night.
I saw my dr on Thursday due to the extreme exhaustion I've been having lately, It's horrible. Things that shouldn't wear me out do and it makes it hard to do normal things. To be fair I couldn't get all of the things done the dr wanted until Monday. My dad had his CPAP machine card read at the same time I did and yesterday the place where we got the machines was calling him to readjust his settings to help him sleep better. I'm glad they did that, but I want results too so I can feel better.

I've felt horrible today. I know I keep saying that , but it's getting harder to remember when the last day I actually felt normal was. :(
I'm scared of scam emails. I had just got one that was trying to pretend to be Amazon Prime, but I knew it was a fake because I don't even have Prime and the email didn't come from Amazon. I checked my other email and had 6 emails about claims being processed. I opened those because I thought they might have something to do with my monthly shot. I googled the phone number on the email and the company it's from is a real copay company. The number of emails is the same as the number of shots I've gotten at the place I have to go to if I include this month's shot so I'm hoping it's something they've set up on my behalf. I have never dealt with the company that the emails are from and the email they were sent to is not one that I give out often, but I do use it for medical stuff and work.

Texas makes me sad. i'm tired and angry.

HoM, I'm sorry you're so ill. Have you taken anything for the sore throat and cough? Manuka honey is good for a sore throat. You can also try gargling with warm salt water.
My complaint today is my left ear. It hurts and it's itchy. I need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist at some point. My ears always feel clogged.
Mine isn't due to dryness. There was a cat hair in my ear :pout: It still hurts but not as bad.
I woke up with a bad headache though. My neck hurts, my teeth hurt. I took some ibuprofen so hopefully it goes away soon.
More ants in the cat food this morning :mad: This time they were coming out of the pantry. There's nothing in there they can get into, it's mostly canned and boxed stuff. I think they just live in that whole wall and come out through tiny cracks by the floor. So annoying.
Gotta love how as soon as I get a new game, my sister immediately demands to play it. Ive barely played, but she says she “deserves” it because she spends all her time doing dance. I bought the game, I do all the housework, she does nothing around the house without a healthy dose of teenage groaning and needing to be asked/reminded constantly.

Tough luck for her. If you bought it, you get first dibs.
I bought a nice arm lamp for my desk. It clamps on and swivels and it has two split lightbars. Except... I am dumb and didn't realize that my desk being against the wall means I can't put the lamp where I need it. The arm is too long and the wall is right there. So now I have to figure out where to put it and buy another desk light. I think I can clamp it to my PC desk, but I usually don't need light when I'm on here. Hmm, maybe I'll return it.
So yeah, after I couldn't pick up that plastic bag, I just lost it and sat there and cried and felt sorry for myself. I wish I had better discipline. That goes for my artwork too. Instead of being on the internet while taking a break from chores, I should be working on those commissions and my swap pony. I'm just a mess :(
I realized today that I'm still mispronouncing a word. For a long time I didn't know that the way I said it was incorrect. I found out a while back that I had been saying it wrong, but the mispronunciation is so ingrained to my brain that I still do it.
I'm sad today. It's Father's Day and my dad isn't here. He was always so hard to buy for, sometimes I dreaded this day or his birthday and Christmas. Now I wish I could have a hard time trying to think of something, just so he'd still be here.:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
On top of that, I had a horrible nightmare that made me cry, about both my dad and sister.

Ponyfan - I totally get where you're coming from. IDK why things have to screw up when you're already worried about stuff... I get why your Mum might be annoyed with the topic and that's fair enough, I suppose, but there's better ways of saying things, you know? Like... idk what your medical procedure is but she does, and I know you always explain your feelings well (ironically idk if I worded that in a way that made sense ^^' Hopefully you get what I mean), so she must know what you're going through right now?? Gah. I ramble too much about stuff sometimes but it's just to clear my head out, I think it's better than letting your brain get all clogged up with worries and such.
I can relate both to the need to express things to get it all clear from the brain, and the annoyance of parents who don't always get that (although mine are actually better these days). I learned that my mother doesn't actually have a very long attention span for discussions (At least, it's probably a normalish attention span, but on the short side of normal). She's also the kind who when something is upsetting, she wants to step back and take a break from it - whereas I need to have it resolved somehow so that I can draw a line under it and that makes us clash.
I mention this, Ponyfan, in case it's like that with you and your mother. Your way of processing stuff that's stressful sounds a bit more like mine - in the sense that it's all crowded in your head and you need to get some of it out before it explodes or you overload. But if your mother is struggling to see you upset, she might actually be putting up a barrier without realising it to protect herself, or feel that you are hurting yourself more by continuing to worry about it, because if it were her in your place, she would find that upsetting.
I don't know if that made sense, but it's how it sounds to me. 40ish years of being at sometimes crossed purposes with my mother over some stuff has made both of us recognise more those clear differences in our way of handling stressful and upsetting stuff.
:hug:
That's what frustrates me, that she won't listen to your side of things. :( I can see it from her side of things too, but I can't understand why she won't try to at least come to some sort of compromise with you, see things from YOUR point of view. Gah. I hope things work out soon <3
I NEED to pack today, but it's soooo hot. x___o; :hot:
edit: YEOOWWW... I just reached into the basket to give my sleeping kitty Miney some scritches/pets and she FLIPPED OUT and scratched up my hand. Must've been in a deeeeep sleep and woken up with a jolt. I'm not annoyed at her cause she didn't mean it, but ouch x__x *rubs wrist* Never seen that happen before.
My Facebook feed is full of ads. It must be like 80% ads. Groups I used to see posts from vanished and I only see the posts of like 5 people regularly. I've made sure to follow people as well as either like them or be friends with them but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Also, for some odd reason, FB likes handing out "Top Fan Badges" to me for things I don't even interact with. I watched one video of Metallica from the official page and suddenly I am a Top Fan. It annoys me.
I find AI interesting, but I don't think it will take over. We need more basic robots to do the jobs people shouldn't be doing.
I find AI interesting, but I don't think it will take over. We need more basic robots to do the jobs people shouldn't be doing.i just worry that there will be no safety net for people who lose their jobs because of AI and automation. the attitude from a lot of the techfluencer/VC capital crowd seems to be that AI will make it so companies don't need many employees anymore so shareholders will make even more money. well where does that leave people who need a paycheck to pay bills?
the internet is already deteriorating from all of the layoffs and profiteering. companies trying to replace actual content creators with AI isn't going to make it better. i miss when the internet was full of fun weird things people built just because.
I was in one of my Facebook cat groups and this lady posted about her 3 year old Bengal being hit by a car. She said she has a catio but "it wasn't big enough for him, he wanted to roam" and I was so upset. It is no one but the owner's fault when cats are allowed outside and things like that happen. Cats do not need to wander and are happier, healthier and safer indoors!
When the internet works but the PC doesn't recognise it works!!!
At least I managed to figure out how to sort it!!!

Our migration office has decided to deny asylum and send back a young gay man who is a regime critiqe to Russia, where hbtq is very discriminated against and critics are sent to jail, and some even forced to serve in the frontline in the war against Ukraine. According to the office his reasons for staying are not distressing enough and he hasn't proved he is really gay. Apparently being married to another man is not proof enough. I am so mad. Not much I can do except sign the petition to let him stay. :huh:
Our migration office often do this unfortunaly. People who establish themselves here, get a job and family and friends and contribute are sent away to war, jail and torture while criminals are allowed to stay as they risk facing war, jail and torture if they are sent away. Our foreign ministry even ask us not to travel to Russia because of how they treat people, but sending a gay regime critiqe is okay! :enraged:
Beldarna, that is so upsetting! Does everyone else have to prove they're straight?Oh, I wish. But no. We have a powerful organisation here that looks out for hbtq+ (lbtq+ in english?) people and they did a survey and went to the news about the result. Apparently, many gay people are denied asylum as they can't prove they're gay. Often, they don't seem ''passionate'' enough about being gay (don't ask). They had one example of a man who was gonna be sent back to Uganda where he faced prison for being gay. He was vey low key in the TV interview. He had to hide being homosexual for so long, of course he had a problem expressing it openly to a stranger in an interview room in a country where he did not speak the language! In an interview with the vp of the migration office where she commented on the survey she said they had to look into the fact that people might not be overly obvious about being gay but still be homosexual. Common sense is apparently out the roof! I can go on for hours about how sick this is!
I'm getting very dissatisfied with my job. The work is fine but the management is awful and most of us want to quit. I have enough set aside that if it gets too bad I can walk away without another job in place but I really hope it doesn't come to that.
This is a really stupid thing, but I want to write it out of my head.. :|
(Sorry for any typos)
I was eating at a restaurant on Friday where a nice member of the staff came to greet me and suddenly asked what I've been up to lately. :blink: I was so surprised by the question that I couldn't say anything reasonable! I just said something like: Well, nothing special. To which this guy said: I guess you're doing more than just going here to eat! :blink: I nervously answered stuttering again: Well, nothing special.. I'm just living an ordinary human life.. This guy just said: It's good that it's an ordinary life, nothing unusual. I just answered again: Yes.. exactly. :blink: :blush:
I left the place in shame and I have been ashamed of my stupid freezing and words all evening and still! I don't dare show my face anymore, at least when that guy is there on duty! :blush: I could see from his look that he thought what the h*ll I am, when I can't speak normally like other people! I could have told him anything about my days and my activities, but.. :facepalm:
I try to be social, but I don't always succeed. Then when this happens, I'm sad, ashamed and I regret such things even for several
years! :cry:

Nothing to be ashamed of. He was the weird one imo! In Sweden we don't chit chat with staff! We don't make small talk with strangers. We barely even say hi to our next door neighbours! I would have stuttered as well as its so far out from my comfort zone being asked such questions by a waiter. I had a sense it's similar in Finland but I might be wrong?
HOM as others have said, he was the weird one, not you. You go to a restaurant to eat good food without having to cook it or wash dishes yourself, not to chit-chat if you don't want that. I'd have been, mate, I'[m here to EAT, not talk!!! I hate people seeing me eat as I have things happen when I eat which can offend some people (my nose goes when I eat anything so I either have to blow it - & I was brought up to never leave the table while eating a course - or I have to open my mouth, even subtly, to breathe, which is also considered offensive), plus I was also brought up to not talk with food in my mouth. So I'd much prefer to eat in peace. I also have heard of the Scandinavian policy of not chatting to strangers, so extra weird there too
Wow. Maybe he thinks you're someone else? Are you and your husband doppelgangers? :lol: :P
--
My complaint right now is my head. It's been hurting all day. It's an odd sort of headache, not one of my usuals. My implant is very itchy also. It's keeping me up. I tried to go to sleep but any way I put my head the pain was there. It feels slightly better if I sit up. I've taken headache meds, but I took some earlier in the day and they didn't do much. I've been drinking water so I don't think it's dehydration. Maybe... allergy? My sinuses hurt when I push on my cheeks and my eyes are red and itchy. Hmm.
Whatever it's from I wish it would go away.
^Oh no! Maybe they're there because they got flooded out? I've found Borax bait works really well for ants as they carry it back to their nest and it gets them all.
The problem we have with charities is when you for once have money to share with an organization they call and harass you afterwards for more money, usually asking for monthly donations which leads me to not donate to that organisation again. List includes wateraid and doctors without borders. Vital and important organisations I would've loved to support, but they lost me when they called every day for weeks after I swished one time.
I don't understand it either. I just saw a video that Texas is adopting a school program from Florida about how slavery isn't all that bad.
Oh no, BC! I feel badly for your mother. Is she on medicaid?
This is a bit political. Three morons, none of them Swedes, found a loophole in our constitution of the right to free speech and demonstration and burned a bunch of holy books, pissing of an entire region in the world, known for harvesting extreme terorism. The regions are not only mad at the ones who did it (who walks free) but also on us Swedes. We condemn what happened to those books, but due to law it was allowed to happen again and again. Freedom of speech and demonstration were not meant to spread that kind of action and hate, but it did and our politicians are working hard trying to find a way to block that while not stopping our fundamental rights.
Anyway, those actions have now harvested their first death victims, in Belgium of all places. ISIS is taking responsibility for shooting three innocent people, two who died, just for being Swedish. It's madness -_-.
And if her supervisor knew she was that allergic, they should have banned all nut treats/products instead of providing them to you.
As for why she didn’t say anything: I was told by her supervisor it’s because she’s too shy.
I lost 2 more nails. :( I don't think I'm being rough with them or anything. They're supposed to last about 6 weeks. We have to pay for them too now as we're past the guaranteed date. My mom said she'll pay for the salon to fix them this time, but not next time.
BC, I hope you feel better soon.
Ponyfan
What kind of nails are they? I used to have gel nails for a while before I lost hours and couldn't afford it. First time I had them, she added little tips at the end of my original nails and we went Segwaying two days after and I hit a bump and fell over. My thumb nail took a huge hit, but the nail stayed. I would have thought the tip would break loose but nothing. It was hard as rock.
My cold took a turn for the worse yesterday and I woke up super early today of me drooling down my pillow and a knife blade in my throat. It's not hurting now, but it feels like it's full of carbonated water or something. Such a weird feeling.
I was able to get Sudafed PE online after all. It finally took my headache away. It must have been from sinus pressure. My ears feel better too.thats awesome! and as someone who came from a drunk + high 24/7 dad i know that smell too well 😭😭 i could always smell it in his car growing up but didnt know what it was then lol
My complaint right now is people smoking weed somewhere nearby and the smell wafting into my windows. I'd rather smell a real skunk, thanks.
Poor Ninja! I'm so glad you had the feeling something was wrong. Give him extra pets from me.
I'm so sorry you got Covid, Lady Frostbite :( That really sucks.
More of the same complaints from me this morning. Back is in agony, eyes are gunky, head is aching.
I bought a case of Monster Java. It was expensive but I thought I'd treat myself. Well, they are small cans. I didn't read the description. I would have been better off buying 5 of the bigger cans for the same price.
Thanks guys
HoM, the medicine is liquid, and he actually likes it! :bigups: That made it so much easier. We presented it on a spoon and he licked it. He does not like Metacam which is the other drug but Ninja does and he's taking it as well, so when we gave them a spoon each at the same time, Simba had to lick it because Ninja did :snicker:. He's only on it for two weeks so hopefully we can keep it up. It's so much easier than force it in his mouth. We were also given some chewie supplements that's supposed to destress and help with urinetractions but neither cat liked those.
Simbas symptoms, except peeing is loud meowings. Around six month ago he began meowing loud after his 7pm meal, but we thought it was because he wanted to play, and it might still be, but being so loud is a symptom. He also have diarreah every now and then and barf. He is drinking more and he had lost half a kilo of weight. We hadn't noticed that because of his furr. But it all makes sense now.
He has not peed in the floor since Monday! :joy: We're still hiding our rugs in a closet though.
Interesting that so many of you have had cats with the same issue, or know of cats with it. It gives me hope that they lived on :).
A urine sample analyzis costs 650 sek! I was not told this before hand. Remove the zero and you have the dollar. Or close to it. Yikes! And we needed it!Good grief! Vets always cost an arm and a leg. At one point, I was paying $119 per month on valley fever testing for my dog (not to mention $$ prescription dog food and meds) so I can sympathize! I hope he gets well soon.
Men are so dumb sometimes, aren't they? Sorry your water is out! That sucks.yes, i can confirm this- sincerely, a man :P
cowboypossum, lol at the man comment. But what is MPP?an MPP is a My Pretty Pony, the precursor to the ponies we all know and love!!
BC, we're gonna ask my mother-in-law if she wants the food. If I recall correctly, her cat is a very picky eater and don't like it, but I might be remembering wrong. If she don't want it I'm thinking the animal shelter. They have a drop box at a pet store on the other side of town. But I hate wasting money and if seems like I've been bleeding money constantly these last few weeks.Scarlet O'Hara is how I refer to my not-so-monthly cycle
I am sorry you're in so much pain :(. I wish I could wave a wand and make it go away.
HoM, We're lucky that he likes the kibbles and the medicine. The wetfood is strongly recomended to get fluid in their systems. But battling chrystals and Hyperthyroidism on one cat, and crystals on the other takes its toll. Ninja is so high demanding as well and keeping him out of boredom feels like a fulltime job. I love my cats to death, they're my children, but I start to feel burned out of all of this and with all the attention to the boys it feels like we're neglecting Majsan :(.
About the food, in Sweden if something is withdrawn from market because of danger, the customer gets the money back, no questions asked and no receipt needed. Is it not the same in Finland? I'm glad your cats did not like it. How lucky!
I would not be able to deal with 15 degrees! Let alone while being sick! Is it warmer elsewhere in the house? I feel so bad for you! :hug:
PWB, does Scarlet O'Hara means getting overly dramatic? I'm sorry about your hips.
I found out today I'll be working the entire christmas weekend. I have no times yet as the timetable is getting renewed in a month so new work schedule. But I'll get the same days off as in the current one and that says I'm on for christmas.

HoM, I didn't realise it was recently. I have not heard anything about spoilt animalfeed. How strange. It was kind of the pet store to offer to pay the bills though :).
Yikes! I live in a old rental apartment, the units were built in the 70's and are owned by the muncipality. Newly built apartments don't have heating and water included in the rent but the old ones does. We currently have 23.7 degrees inside. I still sleep with a blanket on my duvet :lookround:.
I woke up in the early ams with both nostrils blocked and razors in my throat. My coughing has increased as well. I'm so sick of being sick, I've been bad for five weeks now. I even googled it becaue having a cold for that long doesn't seem normal.. apparently it isn't and our national health page recommends talking to the medical after four weeks. Fun >_<.
What a day. I wrote a long timeline in WYP. He had PUS IN HIS PENIS! :shocked: They pushed out pus and flushed him. He's on antibiotics now! Always trust your gut! You know your pets! Don't hesitate! I am so glad we reacted. He is home. He is drugged. He refuses to lay on a bed in a dark warm room. He's on the floor in the hallway. He wants to be alone. Simba washed his face.
I am so tired now. I feel dead inside.
Omg, how awful for him! My female cat had infected anal glands that were full of pus. They had to sedate her and get it all out, they told me some of it was green. She was 12 when that happened and I was so worried but afterwards she felt much better.
It's good you went with your instinct.
I hope the antibiotics work and he starts to feel better. I hope YOU start to feel better too. My animals are my babies and I know how stressful it can be when one is sick. You took care of him for now, so remember to take care of yourself :hug:
Ooh! :stunned: Glad you got to the vet and there they found out what's wrong with Ninja! Fortunately, there were no urinary tract/bladder blockages! I've never heard of this before. Where could it have come from? Was there an abscess on the outside or did the pus come from inside the penis? :huh: I hope the antibiotic starts working on it right away and Ninja gets better! :hug: :heart:
that story turned unexpectedly dark, Beldarna! poor kitty :(
My complaint is my cat, actually. It's very cold here and I have a heated cat bed, but Aster is afraid of blankets and cat beds. I can't figure out how to show her the bed is safe and warm. It's making me sad, because she keeps curling in a ball and fluffing up to keep warm on the floor. I wish I could just tell her :(
My dad decided to plug a power strip in to another power strip.
This isn't at all trivial but I need to somehow get four thousand dollars before the end of the month or they're going to evict my mom from the nursing home.

They are giving a 30 day notice. It all goes back to how she first went there after she broke her leg and was in rehab and insurance paid 100% of that. When she wasn't showing progress they moved her to the long term care wing, and she was supposed to pay around 1400 a month. We didn't know that and we didn't get a bill the first two months. So she's been behind those two months the whole time. They want it paid off. The reason it's 4,000 and not 2,800 is my fault for not paying a couple months when an emergency showed up.This is dreadful & I hope with all hope things are resolved!!!
I'll create a new topic about this in WYP.
We've left the low minus degrees and has plus degrees now.. the road is ice.
I tried to take up Mario Wonderland again but I just kept on dying. It's not even the tough courses but the two and third rated ones.. I lost all geist of playing when I keep dying as Yoshi! I hate being so stupid.
Thanks for the hugs. I needed those :blush:.
What also made me sad was I had asked one of my few friends if she wanted to meet up this week as we hadn't seen each other in a while. She said she would get back to me. She never did and i just felt so overlooked and forgotten on top of everything else.
When I came home from work today five books were lying scattered on the floor. Probably one of the cats tried to climb the bookshelf. I asked John why he hadn't picked them up. He said he was afraid to touch them (??) and put them back wrong. I asked if he couldn't have put them in a pile and he replied they were already in a pile. Yes they were in a pile, allover eachother with the covers opened. Ugh.. luckily no pages were folded or torned.
Beldarna I've never had the heel issue, but I do get peely skin there, & on the balls of my foot, between the toes (classic athlete's foot style), the tips of the toes, the tips of the fingers (they often get sore/red/bleeding), & the edge of my scalp. It's annoying as heck & sometimes sore. I wish it didn't happen but what can I do??? I find most moisturisers too oily for me & I hate how it takes them so long to soak into the skin!!!
oooh Beldarna I feel you... we have this problem in our house too. it's very dry. sometimes you have to put vaseline in the crack and just keep it moist so it can mend back together

My throat still hurts when I swallow. Tomorrow will be a week since I started antibiotics. I feel better than I did last week, but still not 100%. I haven't had strep throat for years though so that might be it.
Adding to the list of words that I've been pronouncing wrong for years without knowing it is "anime." I've aways thought it was an-i-may but I was watching an show the other day and the characters kept saying on-i-may.
I finally got my hands on a sercret of Nimh DVD from Tradera and got it today and it's region 1, which means I can't play it on my blueray as we're region 2. Nowhere in the add does it says its region 1 and not on the cover which were the only ones one pictured. There is a small text about it on the disc. I am so dissapointed. I wrote to the seller, but I guess he wont do much. Luckily it wasn't too much but I am so bummed :(.That's the worst thing about DVDs only being available in some places. I have a portable multi-region DVD solely to play MLP DVDs which are only available in Region 1, like A Very Pony Place & the World's Biggest Tea Party. When will DVD makers realise not everybody who loves certain things lives in North America???

the whole DVD region thing is very weird to me. is it a copyright thing or is it like how i have to buy an adapter to use my hair dryer in Europe?
Another complaint of the day: Anette Olzon (ex Nightwish, The Dark Element, Allen&Olzon) released her first single of her new solo album and I was stoked, until I read the lyrics and realised it was christian propaganda.. I loved the music and the way she sang, but I can't deal with religion being pushed on me like that. Someone wrote in a comment to the video it sounded fundamentalistic and I agree.. Feels like Sarah Brightman and her Hymn album allover again :mad:.I feel that. I cannot fathom why they feel the need to put it in everyone's face.

The seller got back to me and offered a refund if I shipped it back, but I have to pay for postage which will cost me two thirds of the sum so I will only get like 3USD back which is not worth it :huh:. We tried it in the X-box but it required region 2 as well. I will probably put this in my mental "lesson learned and move on" box and see if anyone I know who have a region free player wants the disc. I hate these region things but I think Pokeyonekenobie is right about the money. I will skip give the seller a review though.
This isn't trivial, but I don't want to start a new thread. I got a pre-emptive eviction notice today. I have 7 days to clean my apartment or they'll kick me out. They are also going to charge me for replacing the bathroom floor because it has a tiny crack in it by the tub (and I am pretty sure that was there when I moved in!). They stuck a thick letter in my door about my "housekeeping issues". They mentioned the toilet was dirty, the kitchen garbage was overflowing and the litter boxes needed to be cleaned.BC What the freak!!! No way should anybody be like this!!! I hope you find a way to contest this!!! Life has been hard enough on you as it is, without extra stress piled on you xxx
One, I admit the tank and outside the bowl are dusty/dirty, but it's hard for me to bend down and clean it. Two, well yeah! You were threatening to fine me $75 for the garbage bags on my porch, I'm not putting more garbage out there. Three, I clean it weekly and do a full clean every month. Again, it's hard for me to bend down, I don't scoop everyday... and she has two boxes so it's not like they get really full in a week or anything.
Ugh. I hate living under a microscope like this. If I had the money I would buy a couple hundred acres of land in Minnesota and build a house right in the middle.
Is it a thing in America/Florida that landlords can make cleaning inspections like that?

Thanks BC. Is it better to sign in to Amazon first and then follow the link or click the link and then sign in? I tried to ask my friend about it and she got a little annoyed at me (she apologized later) because I was asking her how to do it.

I'm hot then I'm cold then I'm hot then I'm cold. I've put on and taken off my sweater three times now. Can the weather decide what it wants to beeeee?!
Thanks Beth. :) I'm going to try the egift card soon.
There are fires burning in my state. Last night there was a really strong burning/smoke smell in the house. My mom thought something was burning inside the house. Turns out it was the smoke from the fires even though they are several hours away from us.

Second: I hate listings that have multiple items, and most of the items are out of stock. I was looking for wax seal sticks with wicks in them, and the lowest listed priced ones had a bunch of colours. Oh, awesome, I can get the colour I need and pick up a few other colours too! Nope, out of the 20+ colours listed, they have like 3 colours in stock :mad: Sometimes I have to go through 3-6 listings to find one that has the colour I need IN STOCK! And yes, I could search purple wax stick, and those out of stock listings still show up!
I know there's things that I would like and my mom probably would too, but my dad would literally leave the room if they were on.
I hate my head sometimes.
Thank you so much everyone for the hugs. Hugs right back to you :heart: I've slept horribly and it has taken a lot of time to It's both a plus and a minus with AI in art. Within Temptation has released three musicvideos by using AI and has gotten a lot of backlash because of it. But they explained it's still a lot of work to make it right. John is a photographer and AI is part of the latest photoshop and he has used that sometimes to edit a pic, like adding a leg that was covered or extended a floor. For some it's cheating and stealing, for some it's a tool. Unfortunaly the haters voices are the loudest.I agree that it can be used as a tool, but what do you mean by "haters"? For most, the thought of AI taking artists out of jobs is awfully scary.
I saw the video/stuff on the news about the bridge incident, sounds like a technology fail. So sorry for the families of those affected. It must've been terrifying to be caught up in that :/
I agree that the news these days is often scary and negative. I think what scares me most is the amount of news generated by something not quite true or how stories get twisted into something else - whether by media or social media or whatever. I always read multiple sources to get a good grasp on what is going on, but some of the ways in which things are interpreted worries me...
My parents preordered plush Medley for me for my birthday back in February. Today the order got cancelled. Not sure what is going to happen now :/ Still, annoyed because two days ago we got a dispatch date and now...bleh.
Something upset my stomach last night. Without going in to too many tmi details, I'll leave it at that. When I got up this morning my stomach was really sore. When I told my mom, she automatically assumed it was because of her even though I told her last night what was going on.

When organisations pull job adverts early due to 'intensive interest'.
I have a job, but I am looking for more hours and something more stable. Browsing and applying for jobs is already logistically stressful on my poor brain, but not having the time until the deadline posted to come up with a coherent application is just rude. I have always hated companies that do that.
OMG shockponie that's terrible :hug: :hug: :hug: that's horrible to make fun of someone's medical condition. especially your boss. seems like something that should be illegal.
BC, i hope you can get an appointment soon and find out whats going on. :hug:
BlackCurtains, I don't see why it's the business of the rental people what you do on your private sales. Is that normal practice over there? I could understand if it were a tax inquiry but not your rental people. Unless that is covered by some other payment scheme?
I actually never hear comments like that here where I live. It did rather shock me, honestly...it reminded me how so many folk seem to believe we exist on another plane and don't hear/feel comments people make about us. I also don't go around eavesdropping on bus conversations, but it's hard not to hear people yelling or having loud phone conversations.

I've always considered it a 50/50 balance. 50% of my disability is me managing the things my disability causes, and 50% is dealing with barriers and obstacles in society that I don't have any control over.
I don't think it's a choice to opt out of society. I think a lot of disabled people are locked out of it by societal expectations and norms.
....
Technology is great when it helps people. I'm not knocking that. But it's not all about physical or tech aids. It's mostly about people changing their attitudes and making processes more generally inclusive.
And even when tech is helpful, it has to be available, which in many cases it is not.
I've been doing these little sheep doodles on another site that has ponies. I was doing them for free, but a friend poked me and said I should open a shop (it would be for game currency) so I asked for a price check. A couple of people have been very rude in my thread. Saying that anyone can draw a blob or glowing line and get lots of the game currency for it. That people like me who aren't artists make REAL artists feel bad. Blah blah blah.
Yeah, I'm one of those "locked away from society" but it's not really by choice. I don't drive, never have. There is no public transport here. There is a bus of sorts, but you need to call 48 hours ahead and it costs money. I live day to day because my pain and mental function vary day to day. I don't know how I'll feel in 48 hours, so why book a trip?
Ableist language and actions really bother me because it really puts self-created limits on what people think they can do. It's like the Down Syndrome awareness PSA : "if you think I can't ______,, then you don't treat me like I can ______, and then I don't ______."I was asked once if I could help elderly housebound people to access the internet as I'm quite computer savvy. I talked about the things these people could do, including sell hand-made items online for a little extra cash. The carers who interviewed me were NOT having that, despite pensions being something you can supplement with a small extra income, & I was shut down because I didn't "understand". What I didn't understand was the carers' need to keep their clients fully dependent without adding any contributions. Like, so they can't use their legs & feet, but the can still use their hands!!!
I know quite a few people who could probably be quite self-sufficient, contribute to the workforce, and be more independent, but it doesn't fit their family and support providers' narratives and definitions, so they think they can't work or shouldn't work. To the best of your ability, I say! If you need supports, then by all means, use them, but don't opt out of doing things "because you can't (because you believed someone telling you that)".
Technology advances all the time - if there are now mechanized suits (like in anime), you can walk and lift and exercise! Japan has several cafes that have robots that are operated by paraplegic people at home, using special headsets that connect directly to their brains . if you need a service animal to help detect if you're going to have a medical episode, that's totally fine. if you need a communication device/speech board/etc. , that's no different than the millions of other humans who can't get their face out of their phone LOL It's no reason to opt out of society, hide yourself away, and be lonely.

I wrote a reply back, but decided to delete it and just say to the one person maybe they aren't as good of an artist as they think.
I AM an artist. I just work mainly in 3D. Drawing digitally isn't something I'm great at but I think my little doodles are cute and people seem to like them.
Everyone else in the thread has been very supportive and gave me a good range of what to charge if I open a shop. I'm just feeling bummed people had to come in and say things like that. I mean, if you wouldn't pay that price, fine. Say that. Don't dis my me and doodles.
A sample of said doodles for those curious:
Unfortunately this shows me that a change of government may not be the solution to all our problems. Our local council is not Tory.

we have similar issues here too. unfortunately :( i'm curious about the political parties in Britain. I know there is a parliament instead of the 3 branches we have in the US. But i only ever hear about 2 political parties, the Tories and Labour. are there other smaller parties that don't make in into the US coverage?
Very small gripe but hopefully someone else understands; you know the pumps that come with beauty products or shower/hand gels? Normally, you twist to 'unlock' them and start using them. But sometimes the pump nozzle twirls WITH the stem that goes into the liquid, so you're spinning it without it unlocking :pout: So you need to open the tub, HOLD the stem and force the twist that actually allows the pump to be freed. Now imagine trying to do that in the shower!! My conditioner was like 'if you want to actually condition your hair, solve my puzzle!'

And then there are the ones which think their job is to splatter the tiles rather than deposit stuff into your hand for helpful use...
I was reading a post in a Disney World group on Facebook and someone asked if it was okay to randomly give someone a little gift while at the park that they had made. The responses were so mean. A lot of people either said outright "You'd better not try to give me/my children anything," "I'd take it, but throw it away when you're not looking." The person also asked if it would be more acceptable to leave the gifts around the park where they'd be spotted and taken instead of trying to give them directly and the responses were equally as bad. Someone said "I teach my children not to take things that don't belong to them." "I'm not letting my child pick up some random thing they find."
I understand everyone has an opinion, but telling the person that their gifts they worked so hard on wouldn't be accepted or appreciated made me feel bad for them. So far the gifts I've seen others post are clearly marked as something meant for the person that finds it. Usually it's in a bag and says "a gift from____ Enjoy."
