Thank you! I feel like it's shaping up to be pretty good! I know I have some stuff that's not super popular, like that weird neon green bracelet lol, but for whatever reason I think it looks cool. It's hard to trade up, I probably annoyed people by sending out sooooooooo many trade requests for everything that looked interesting, but it paid off!

 
You never know it could be even better in person! It's really hard to tell online, we've all learned that now haha. That's what I do, I put out trades for anything even if it seems like a silly trade. Some people who just start a bag don't realize the whole trading thing yet, so they will trade down a lot (i did that my first bag actually). and others that are just about to ship their bag will probably trade down to something they like!

 
Ya, unfortunately it's a sad update. I had them do an ultrasound, because the xrays showed a hernia with her liver pushing into her lungs, so they thought that was why she was having trouble breathing. The surgery for that is really hard though, and she was having trouble breathing and almost choked to death the day before in the vets office.

I didn't want to just put her to sleep without checking to make sure there was a possibility of saving her via surgery, but also didn't want to put her through surgery if it was going to be too difficult on her.

But the ultrasound showed cancerous tumors in her lung, and the cancer tissue had spread to her heart and encased it, and was spreading to her kidneys. She was having a hard time breathing and was suffering, so we ended up having to put her to sleep.

It was really a hard day, but the vets that we saw were super compassionate and kind about everything. It was better that we had the ultrasound done and knew that there was no way to save her, instead of having to wonder.

=(

Sorry for the downer post.

So I'm trying to distract myself with this trading stuff before bed. I've been crying all day so it's nice to focus on something else.

As far as the crazy neon bracelet, I'm hoping it's cute in person! I like the color, and I hope it looks less plastic straw like in person! It reminds me of those bracelets you make as a kid with the neon dyed macaroni noodles! lol.

I noticed that with a few girls today. I'm like, "My Gawd woman! you're giving away everything you got!" I think you're right, they think that if they are making the offer then they need to go down in price. I was also surprised to see so many who took what LBB gave them, or quickly traded one thing and then shipped. Where's the fun in that? lol

 
I'm so sorry to hear that Calimel :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :( I definitely know how you're feeling. We had my dog for as long as I could remember, I think I was 8, and we just put her down two years ago after 14 years. It's tough because they're family. But just remember you gave her a great loving home and she couldn't have had a better life anywhere else!

 
And LBB is the perfect distraction. My boyfriend and I are in a fight today and LBB made me feel better haha

 
Oh Mel, I'm so sorry. The only good in it is that you know you did all you could, there is no second guessing that. I was hoping so much that you would have good news. I wish there was some way we could comfort you.

 
I'm sorry to hear about your doggie. =( 

You're right. It's hard, but she had a good home and knew we loved her, so at least there was that.

Oh no!

Well at least LLB can distract us right?

I have to say I am curious if that bracelet does in fact look like macaroni noodle art though. I tried finding photos online but there are not any yet

Thank you Donna J. I was hoping for a good update as well, but I had a feeling that it was going to be cancer or something like that, just because of the way she was acting. At least I got her into the vet and she got a peaceful time at the end. I'm grateful for that. I was also lucky and it happened when I had the days off so that we could all be with her too. So it worked out in the best way possible for how it worked out, at least.

Oh man, my heart goes out to you. I had my kitty all through middle school and high school; as soon as I left for college he ran away and never came back, that was pretty rough but it was bound to happen. :[ Though it's very sad, I'm glad that your kitty was with good people in the end, and I hope you feel better knowing you'll always have friends here.

well the $80 was that 'double' ring that doesn't look too nice.

Donna, I tend to like things others dont, lol. But I have a quirky style to begin with. I do like that coral bracelet though. I think it'd look cute with a silky white button up.


And those were some amazing trades you did to get that bracelet. Really you gave up a 48 dollar jelly bag for a 60 dollar piece of jewelry.

Oh I didn't actually get the bracelet, but I want it. I ended up trading that bangle I had for two cheaper items. I've got almost 6 days to build them up. So now I have 4 items :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I sort of think I want to keep the wall art. It's cute!
 
:( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Oh Im so sorry Mel. You must be going through a windstorm of emotion. Just remember that you did the right thing. You got to give her a life most animals don't ever have.  Try and remember all the funny and happy memories you had together.

When we had to put my dog to sleep, all that would keep me from sobbing for weeks was remembering how silly she was. She ate the nose off of my favorite stuffed animal when I was little and I was so mad! And she would always want to sit on my lap when she was 60lbs, but I'd let her. Well I let the darn girl sleep in my twin bed every night, and sometimes our other dog too. I still get sad, even 5 years later. But I feel so grateful that I was able to have such a bond with another creature. You will always have that bond <3

Take care of yourself!

Are you getting any offers for the Robert Rose teardrop earrings?

 
I haven't yet. But I figure most sane people are asleep by now ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think I'll be able to trade up to $25-30 for both items by the end of tomorrow. So maybe I can get my iphone case :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
You guys keep this thread so active, hahaha. I was able to trade the iphone case for a necklace at the same value which is good because I don't even have an iphone lol. I don't really want either of the necklaces in my bag right now, but trading isn't going so well for me. I do love my bag though, so I won't cancel. I almost canceled but Emily (the cs rep) was able to swap an item out for me on her end because I hated everything lol. 

 
I only have 2 more days before my bag closes but I really love every item in it right now.

I have the royal blue jelly ( I was trying to get the coral but everyone with a coral bag won't budge. lol)

I also have the SAYAMI coral scarf and the Moroccan earrings. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 

 
rougefirefly - that seems like a great bag!!

So no no one wanted my trades haha I may be trading down my earrings for the 3 leaf bangles...hmmm...i'd be losing  $9 but I really want them!
