@Terrena: Completely agree haha
And then there's the slang and swearing on top of it - it's gotta make learning it even worse - not only for people learning it as a second language - but it's hard for people with it as a FIRST language!
It's crazy how slang is so different from one area to the next - I grew up hearing "Wicked" and "Sick" meaning "Awesome" or "Cool" - but I hear that in California that instead of "Wicked" or "Sick" - they use "Fierce" and at one point "Tre blahblahblah" (like, Tre Cute would be the equivalent of Way Cute) - though I think "Tre" might actually be French, so why Cali was using it I haven't the slightest xD;
@Molie: Oh noes :(
So basically the worst possible scenario happened :(
That really sucks hun! I'm really sorry to hear that :(
Maybe you'll be able to make new friends who are more like the ones you had in Germany? :D
o.O;;
Omg... You're kidding me!
You need to go to the ER and get it looked at if it's that bad and has been bleeding that much. I'm sure you can work SOMETHING out with the ER and do a payment plan thing - even if it's $20 a month or something until you can afford higher payments or until you can pay it off - that's just insane :(
-sends cheeriness over your way- <3<3
I really hope things start getting better soon hun!
I'm not sure where in the US you are (can't remember if you told me or not) - but if you were close I'd totally hang out with you and make you not hate being home so much hahaha!
Yeah - it sucks, but it's for the best :3
I mean, if the store had opened when it was supposed to (Oct. 4th), then we wouldn't have had such a problem -- people didn't find out about us until 10 days before Christmas, which really hurt us :(
But it's getting better, I just don't have the money I was expecting to have so I have nothing saved for March (which is when my school refund comes in and when I was planning on starting the initial check-ups and exams and such) so I have to put my plans for a baby on hold :3
Then when the store starts doing better and I can get a place of my own (or at least can get a loan from the bank to get my own house, whichever way I can affordably do it) and get better settled financially, I'll look back into it and then decide whether or not to do artificial insemination or foster care :3
I plan on doing both during my life time anyways - so it'll really just depend on how my body wants to cooperate and if I have to get AI first before foster care or if my body will hold out and let me do AI later on - though I'm doubting it XD;
(uterus and ovaries are messed up beyond belief and don't work well)
I should have had a kid when I was 15 XD;
At least then I would have been able to carry it full term and have no problems getting pregnant!!!
(I had my skating accident at 16, which messed up my back and organs)
Soooo while it's definitely in the better interest of my future baby/future foster child(children) for me to wait until the store is doing better, it's seriously frustrating because I was so excited to start the new chapter in my life but every time I try I just keep getting pushed further and further back, and it's starting to annoy me lol
Thank you! :D <3
Me too!
I'm so excited for people to see our new gift baskets and basket fillers etc - we have so much variety now!
All of the NY made products I was telling you about, along with a crap load of kid's make-up, adult make-up, adult perfumes, kid's bath bubble toys (bubble wands and little figures that dissolve in the water and create a scent and bubbles), adult spa sets (bath salts, scrubs, etc), adult cologne, and so much more I can't even think of lol
I just wish it didn't take us this long to get all of this variety in!!
I was getting so sick of only candy or scent (smelly jellies, simmering potpourri, 2 kinds of bath salt, bath confetti, and scented potpourri) lol
You can only do so much with it, ya know?
But now that we have all of this new stuff to pair it with, we can make a crap load of different baskets and have some diversity that we've been waiting for :3
Just a shame that it's taken this long for the deals to come through :(
We already have repeat customers, though, so I'm hoping more people will come back and see all of the new stuff we have and not be like "Well, they were so limited with their fillers, I don't want to go back." - ya know?
It's not our fault we couldn't get the stuff in faster :gonk:
Ah well - it is what it is!
Can only hope it gets better :3
