She lives in Bicker lincolnshire but since she was seen in Skegness its all abit weird. Hopefully she just hiding out somewhere and will contact someone :( Her kids through another marriage have flown from Australia to the UK so we are hoping she contacts them atleast.

So I just saw a tv ad for one of those house building shows and there was a lady looking at a sink with two taps one for hot and one for cold water and she says "So how do you get warm water?"

I dunno lady how DO you get warm water?

Man reading about this whole Dashcon debacle is really making my head hurt. Like did the people behind it even know what they where doing? Not paying the guests fees? WTH man. This shows that people on Tumblr should leave this stuff to people who know what they are doing!

OMG some of the owners have never been to a con before! WTF

EDIT: Okay this is has gone to the point that it's become really really dang funny how much these people have fucked up!

I CUT MY SPAGHETTI INTO SMALLER PIECES, OKAY?!

I don't give a shit if you think it's 'childish' or 'rude' or that it's not the 'traditional' way to eat it. There's nothing rude about it, nor childish, plus I'm not a bloody Italian and I don't eat it to be traditional. Bitch about it all you want or call me weird, I don't care, I just laugh at you when you struggle to eat your spaghetti and take half an hour longer to eat it than I do just because you're too stuck up to try another method and apparently hell will rain down on earth if you use a knife with this dish.

Yes, that was an actual conversation and this is an actual rant. Apparently people really give a shit if I find eating spaghetti a certain way easier than others. I could never master the stupid twirling thing so I started cutting it up and then EVERYONE LOST THEIR SHIT. wat.

Wow.. that's really.. strange s: I eat it that way too.

Why would anyone even care how someone eats their food?
I mean, as long as you don't eat with your fingers or like an dog people really should mind their own business?

(Sorry, I hope this doesn't offend you, I don't wish to sound nasty towards your friends or family or whomever, just think it's very rude and weird to say such a thing to people who eat differently..)

Bahaha noooo it wasn't my friends or family, it's stupid preachy internet people who think their way is the right way and that there's no such thing as opinions. My mum also eats it that way!

I remember something I was told once by a Japanese exchange student I knew in college. I asked him what the right way was to use chopsticks because I didn't want to seem like an oafish gaijin.

He said, 'Can you get the food to your mouth? Then it's the right way."

That's pretty much my stance on everything these days. XD

someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

So some of you might remember that rant about the animated commission that I was waiting to have complete. I heard back from the person today saying they could not complete it because they couldn't get the mud splashes (Which the entire animation was supposed to be based around) correct. The dragon I bought it of is crackle, which is supposed to be mud.. But the animation, since it isn't finished, doesn't even have the crackle look to it because they couldn't get the mud right.

I'm not sure how to respond. I mean, they gave me the animation without the splashes a few months ago. So I have that. But I've still payed 5500 gems, which is $50 of my real money for an animation that wasn't even completed. Sure, it's all colored in and such and is finished beyond the effects.. But the whole reason I bought this was for the effects to tie it all together.

I don't even know what to say to them. They said that I can keep the rest of the money and they would refund me if they hadn't already spent what they paid me.

Again, for those that don't know the first rant with all the dates and such, it's here- http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic ... 6&p=497645

Am I wrong to be super upset and slightly pissed off for my commission not having the mud splatters?


EDIT: I just had the biggest breakdown over this I feel so fucking dumb oh my god.

What do I even say in response to this person? This is insane. It's something as tiny as the mud splatters (which includes the crackle markings because right now it's all just basic).. But it's still not what I paid for.
Do I demand a refund? I just. I just don't even know I've never dealt with this.

Like sure I get you miss him but how long has he been doing fifo? Longer than my partner has anyway (fifo is fly in fly out) and sure first off I was lonely and depressed when he went away but i didnt feel the need to post it to facebook for ALL TO SEE every swing...you love him we get it! maybe im just a bitch but i think certain mushy stuff is for private msg or special days like Vday and even then...

I would. You asked for a commission. They didn't deliver.

Bowno if this person has a thread I'd recommend posting in it WARNING people about this person! It's quite frankly down right bad business what they did and you should warn people about how they do things. Do not worry about "hurting their feelings" or some other crap, they said they'd do something and they took money for it and they did not put out.

If they get their feelings hurt tough shit they should of thought about that before they said yes.

EDIT: Sorry if that came off as rude but you don't fuck around when it comes to money.
