So, I told my older sister about the loans and my mom found out (i.e.: was told). Big Sis had told me she will help me with them and I am so grateful for that. We paid off the smaller loan this afternoon ($680) and I owe her the entirely of my refund check when it shows.

Oh, and i am finally getting somewhere with the tax situation. I was told that I basically had to mail my paperwork to the IRS and ask for a paper check. I don't mind. She's officially the best.

Unfortunately, there is some not so good news. I was told by the doctor that I am prediabetic. Hooray. Its been two days and I miss sugar. I didn't even think I ate that much of it before remembering how I prep my coffee and what my favorite snacks were. I had hard boiled eggs today and rediscovered my distaste for them (its the peeling and the rather bland taste- I should have at least salted them).

But thats it for now. And I dont know how to end this, so... Goodnight!

This afternoon I learned Chuck Norris died. And an hour ago, I watched the newest episode of The Amazing Digital Circus. One of these events nearly broke me

?????? people do this? 😭 ngl this is the first time I’ve heard about it and I don’t see how that can work. wdym you don’t read fics about your preferred character? wdym you just slap your preferred character’s name onto another character in people’s fics when their personality and characterization aren’t even the same????? I’m not even talking about how this may be a not-so-good thing to do to the respective writers even though they. won’t know if you don’t tell? but. why? isn’t it so much better to just read fics about your preferred character or, better yet, write it yourself?

[questions-about-blorbos]

Fanfic writers and readers, do you do this and do you think this is disrespectful to the respective writers?

I do this, but I think it’s disrespectful

I do this, and I don’t think it’s disrespectful

I don’t do this, and I think it’s disrespectful for someone to do it

I don’t do this, but I don’t think it’s disrespectful for someone to do it

I don’t read or write fanfics, but I think this is disrespectful to writers

I don’t read or write fanfics. I don’t think this is disrespectful to writers

This month has fucking sucked.

So, let me start at the beginning. In early February, I got a dude here on this very platform, a dude sent me a message. He was basically putting out an advertisement for being a sugar daddy. And easy money sounded good to me. I mean, all he asked for patience and honesty and promised no nudes or sex, so I thought to myself "Okay, this seems like a good deal."

So I get in contact with him because he gave me three different ways of contacting him and he tells me about where he's from, his age, his job. All he wants is someone to spoil. He's looking for honesty and transparency and trust. He wants to "be my mentor". He's had at least 50 past babies and he knows what he's doing because he has clips of women saying they enjoyed him.

And after a bit, he says i need to pay his account manager $100 to get started. And so I do. And then it all goes downhill from there...

I dont mind paying the account manager. I do mind when I cant actually get the money.

See, I have CashApp. But since it have never had anywhere near that much money getting dropped into the app, it wouldn't take it. So now we're doing a weird "payment plan" that involves a lot of me sending him fucking bitcoin. Because thats a great way to do anything... and he talks about the registration fee and his account manager and...

And...

I gave him the money I pay my mom in rent

The next month is a wombo combo of polite conversations and him asking about money and me trying to be friendly and getting more and more frustrated with the entire endeavor. He talks about what he does for a living. He talks about his dogs and his family and what he's been up to that day. And I try to reciprocate. I talk about my job and my current going on.

But he also keeps asking about my bank. Can I pull from this account? (No.) Can I ask my family? (No.) Can i buy gift cards? (Hard no.) Can I get a loan? (I got TWO.)

Yes, I took out loans. And this motherfucker is talking about his money, always reminding me that he "has it safe".

He was born to wealthy parents and got a job where in the past month he made a million dollars. He has traveled to Miami with his team and he payed four figures to have his house and his dogs taken care of while he was gone. And I cant scrounge up enough for half a tank of gas. I haven't gotten my damn hair done in over a month, so its looking bad. I cant do a damn thing because everything cost money and I don't have any.

And his crew... he has an account manager and a lawyer. One is a middleman who jumps in when I apparently get too frustrated and the other is the one who keeps changing amount numbers on me. Sixteen hundred turns to eight hundred and then i need to pay another grand, but its okay because im some sort of exception and Daddy will put up some of the expenses.

And a few days ago, I gave up. I was tired of the runaround and the fees and his lawyer told me about the rules I had never heard of because "they are private" so he doesn't have another legal issue like he had in the past. So I call him.out on lying by omission and putting me in bad spots snd I tell him he can go fuck himself. I block him and his two stooges.

Meanwhile, I am having a bad time at work. I work at a bakery. I have for about six months. And I'm just struggling.

I cannot remember temperatures. I always need guidance. An entire batch of blueberry bagels had to be tossed because my dough wanst right. I tried to rush something really simple just yesterday and had my boss tell me she was struggling not to fire me. So I am stuck on bagel duty because I "cannot be trusted to handle Sunday morning prep".

And since its tax season, of course that wants to be difficult as well. Can't for the life of me get into my id dot me account because its suspended for some damn reason. I cant finish my taxes because I can't get access to a specific pin that I need. So who knows how this tax season will work out for me...

And finally, I think my mom knows something is up. She keeps dropping advice about "using my head" and "not getting taken advantage of".

So, I have a job that I am barely holding onto, no money and two loans to start paying off and a barely there mental/emotional state that i am clinging on to desperately. My life is a mess of my own making and I just want... I dont even know what I want...

Eclipse was daydreaming at the desk when Sun and Moon approached with the children. Jack was present, but Harvest and Bloody were effectively grounded for the day. The twins were in trouble for not listening to Solar and climbing up the side of the building to chase Zerk. They were currently stuck cleaning the theater kitchen with Solar. Eclipse looked up over the desk first at the sea of little faces and then his grinning partner. "Ugh. Do you need a dragon again? Or is it something even worse?" He drawled. "Nope!" Sun said cheerfully. "The kids were warned in advance to bring pocket money today. We're all gonna play in the small arcade for a while. And since that will leave the Daycare empty; you should come with us." "Ah. Okay." He pushed the chair away from the desk and Jack took his hand as he got up. Out of habit Eclipse picked up his son and Jack happily hung around his slim torso like a koala. The moment the group was inside the kids scattered in every direction. Eclipse moved to take up a guard pose near the only door, but Moon nudged him inside instead. "I don't think you're escaping the happy fun time today Eclipse." Moon grinned. "It's my turn for door duty." Jack crooned dramatically. "You should plaaaaaay with us!" "Did you have something in mind Jack?" Eclipse asked curiously. The smaller DCA hopped down and took his hand again to tug him along. "Yaaaaaaasss! I mentioned that you could dance. The kids want to see!" "Jaaaaaack." Eclipse whined. "Why would you do thaaat?" His son only chuckled. "You sound like Sun when you say that!" Red fingers massaged the upper horn of his crescent. "There's a reason for that."

[ndnbutch]

this just came up because my best friend is helping us clean and pack to move while I’m injured and it’s kicking up a lot of dust which is making me sneeze like crazy

if someone is having a sneezing fit (3+ sneezes in a row), how many times do you have to acknowledge the sneeze?

only once, for the first sneeze

twice but no more

three times but no more

every single time they sneeze, no matter how many

none

other? (explain in the tags)

Voting ended onFeb 23

by “acknowledge the sneeze” I mean by saying “bless you”, “gesundheit”, or other such phrases. as far as what “have to” means, answer based on personal preference/belief, you don’t have to really be able to justify it, it can just be based on vibes. unless maybe you come from a background that does have a broadly understood cultural norm that would dictate that exact number (I am not personally aware of any such cultural norms, but maybe they exist!)

please reblog for sample size!
