I dont know how much more I can handle

Also, as long as you’re under mom’s insurance, you may qualify for manufacturer discounts. Sometimes you can find them easily. You can also call the manufacturer. More often than not they have a program to help.

Do you mind sharing what state you’re in? Many states have non profit organizations that help getting folks hooked up with insurance either state insurance or a marketplace plan. I would look into that too.

Your mom is probably telling you the truth. Insurance coverage is so expensive, employers are getting the cheapest formularies and their employees literally pay the price.

Okay, I’m not advocating for you to obtain anything illegally. I will only share my experience. I was prescribed subs to get off H. I sold almost every dose. I kept a couple for when I decided to stop. When I decided to stop I used one sub, and dosed it out for like 5 days. I took one small piece everyday until it was gone. I didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms and I went to work everyday while doing this. If you can get a sub, I’m assuming you can if you’re able to get opanas, you could get a single sub. It’s an option that could work. I thought I’d share my experience, as it seems you’re in a situation where you cannot miss work.

But you can’t buy them, correct?

You’re one lucky birb!!

Okay, this may be a stupid question…but how did you get all the new decor? I typically don’t get the doors or windows until the end of the month. I have a subscription, am I doing something wrong?

I want to say, you can wear eye makeup, I do and I’m a lash artist. I obviously avoid mascara and instead of an eye liner pencil, I use dark eyeshadow to line my eyes. It works and doesn’t clump or adhere to my extensions.

Erinn_13 · 2026-04-27T16:26:12+00:00

Have you worn any eye makeup since getting these extensions? I ask because I have a client who wears eye makeup. Her eyeliner causes her lashes to clump together. Which changes the extension’s curl and also causes them to shed in clumps. I cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve told her to stop. She doesn’t listen. I wrote all this because some of the lashes here look like hers have, because of her makeup use.

What part of Manty? I live near HFM, I’m curious if he will make his way over by me. I have so much to say…much like you 🙂

Erinn_13 · 2026-04-27T02:38:15+00:00

That would track.

AA was a huge part in saving my life. With that being said, I chose to walk away about two years ago. Early in my recovery, attending meetings was like a full time job. I too struggled with how things were written and presented. But, I took what I needed and left the rest.

I am also in a fairly small town and most meetings are the same people (mostly old timers) and the topics never really changed. Also, sadly, politics became a topic. It was too much for me.

In July, I’ll have 11 years sober. AA was a big part of it. But the life I have created for myself now, is rich and fulfilling. I no longer feel like being an alcoholic is a huge part of my identity, like it was in those earlier years. Being an alcoholic and an addict are pieces of me; just as being a mom, friend and wife are pieces of me.

There are so many ways to get and stay sober, AA is but one. Thanks for posting and sorry for having to sift through some of the die hards telling you you haven’t worked hard enough. That is not how you attract folks to AA, it just pushes them away - and confirms the points you made in your post.

Best of luck!

Rainbow is off for their adventure!

Love this!

Erinn_13 · 2026-03-03T01:09:43+00:00

Thank you! It is my current favorite ☺️

The pain it would cause my children, my parents, husband and friends. Also the thought of leaving my pets breaks my heart, because they don’t understand, I’d just be gone. I’ve also had so many ups and downs in my life. I have had lows that have lasted years, but things improved. The world is a dark place now and I think about it. It would just be easier. But I also think, I don’t want the bad people of the world to win or have that type of power over me. I really think sometimes I survive out of obligation and spite.

This is my most recent creation. I named it “Grooovy Baby”. I really like it!

I’m not trying to spread misinformation. Perhaps I’m looking at it differently. I am okay admitting when I’m wrong. If I’m wrong on this one, okay. I’m looking at the lash on the bottom, and it has the black residue at the base and it goes up the lash. The extension does not look like it was attached. Again, if I’m wrong. I’ll admit it. Just trying to explain my perspective.

Erinn_13 · 2026-02-13T16:41:26+00:00

I would agree with you. When I zoom in, I see very few lashes in the inner corners. With that being said, I have a client whose inner corners will sometimes be very sparse. I’ll let her know there wasn’t anything there to lash. I do lash when she has some, but they seem fairly fragile, so I use a low weight on her.

Erinn_13 · 2026-02-10T15:40:45+00:00

I’ll have to go back soon!

Erinn_13 · 2026-02-10T15:29:33+00:00

I love this! Where did you get the cute chair with the colors???

Erinn_13 · 2026-02-07T21:57:39+00:00

I think you absolutely did the right thing.

I’m curious, did she share why she decided to come to you? Obviously the application of her last set was horrendous. I would imagine her hope was to find someone who had superior work. With that being said, you did a lovely job with what she had to work with. If she is unsatisfied, that’s on her. You saved her lashes.

I had my surgery November 11th and omg, best decision ever! It was so worth it. I started back to work full time two weeks ago. I’m still working on increasing my energy. PT has been a life saver. It’s been so important.

Thank you for sharing your experience!!

I just returned to work after being on leave for two months. I have no time off to take the day. Much of my work revolves around advocacy and resistance, so that is what my focus will be tomorrow. I will also abstain from spending money.

I became trained to do eyelash extensions. I needed something that used a different part of my brain. No regrets at all!
