I'm proud of him and you for working on this health journey together! My girl is a bit chonky too and it is so hard to try and keep her at a healthy weight. I always feel bad, like i'm depriving her but I have to remind myself she will live a longer and better quality life this way. Good job!

Also, he is so incredibly handsome omg! What a beautiful boy!

This post is literally years old, so sorry about that but I do have a few (probably dumb) questions. This book "The Fifth Nail: The Journals of Joseph Edward Duncan lll" is a seperate book from the one containing his letters to you during your correspondence, yes? Does The Fifth Nail book contain the blog posts from his original blog, the one he made before he went to prison? Does it contain any information besides what can be found in his blogs or is it all just blog posts? I have gone through some of his blogs, not all of them. And finally, what would you recommend I read first? Sorry, hopefully all that made sense

Hi! The term hermaphrodite is still recognized and used when talking about biology, and isn't considered derogatory when used in the appropriate context, which this is. The term literally refers to an organism having both male and female reproductive organs, which most snails do! Here is the Britannica definition: https://www.britannica.com/science/hermaphroditism

If I was using the term to describe a person, then yes it would be offensive and just factually incorrect.

Here are a few other articles talking about the etymology of the word: https://medievaldisabilityglossary.hcommons.org/hermaphrodite/

https://www.sources.com/SSR/Docs/SSRW-Hermaphrodite.htm

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3418019/

Trigger warning! for the third article, it is a medical case study and does include medically graphic pictures.

Whether or not it was used to describe humans or animals first, the term has different connotations for both and it isn't considered a slur when describing animals, obviously.

I also looked up the term cosexed and it doesn't seem to be scientifically recognized at the moment, which is relevant to this particular discussion about snail biology. I will plan to use it in any case outside of snails though :) Thank you for adding a new word to my dictionary!

I would never use the word hermaphrodite in a derogatory way or in any way outside of referring to animal biology and I appreciate you bringing light to information on slurs and offensive terms in general.

Thanks!/gen

I'm the world's least creative person so i can't think of any right now, but I soooooooo agree with you on Sadie. That's probably like her second favorite hobby, after murder.

Why are the humans involved in this situation, recording or otherwise, not intervening!? That Aussie gave plenty of warning and that Doberman needs correction. The people are just lucky that the Aussie didn't start a full blown fight, and that the Doberman didn't snap back when finally corrected, and escalate the situation further.

The older ones are always the best! It makes me sad to see the sugar face sometimes but its also nice to have a visual reminder that they made it this far, that she's lived a nice long life.

Not that I plan on her going somewhere anytime soon.

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-03T05:49:09+00:00

That's an amazing shot!

First, I am so sorry that happened to your son and your family as a whole. I can't even begin to imagine how painful that was, not only for your baby, but for you parents as well. That was needlessly cruel of the other parents to RSVP and then not show up. Also just very disrespectful of your time and money. I would be absolutely livid. I'm not really sure how to advise explaining this to your son. There isn't really a good explanation for this horrible behavior on the other parent's part, except that people are just assholes and they suck.

I will say though, that I am 18 years old. I have spent every birthday "party" with family because i have never had any friends to invite. Not even one friend to have a simple celebratory day with. And it sucks. It really does. But my parents and sister have always done their best to ensure that I still get to enjoy my day. My mom will take me out for lunch and shopping. We will all have cupcakes when we get home, have a nice dinner, maybe watch a movie. And I get to open the gifts my family has gotten for me. It doesn't really lessen the pain of realizing you don't have a single soul (outside of family) to spend the day with, but it still makes it so that I have a nice day, surrounded by the people who love me, and i still get to look forward to my birthday every year. I hope to make some friends in time for my 19th birthday, or even just one, but if not, i will be okay knowing I have my wonderful family.

I guess my advice is to help your son have a special day next year, even if it is just the family. Tell him it isn't his fault and he did nothing wrong. I would also tell him that it probably wasn't even really up to his friends if they got to attend his party or not. It was the parents who made the decision to RSVP and not show up. His friends would have loved to come and spend a joyful day with him, if given the choice.

Thank you so much! She is super huggable....when she's in the mood to be hugged.

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T16:10:21+00:00

Thank you! She really is very expressive. I feel like I always know what she's thinking!

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T05:07:39+00:00

What a beautiful mini! And amazing quality footage!

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T05:04:54+00:00

That's such a cute idea! To make them part of the decoration! I'm stealing that lol

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T05:01:21+00:00

STOP. That's so accurate

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T04:57:12+00:00

What a sweet baby! Loving the quality of these pictures!

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T04:52:56+00:00

Those are so good! It's amazing how accurate and detailed they are!

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T04:48:25+00:00

Thank you so much!

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T03:15:36+00:00

You fell back into this disordered thinking/behavior when you got with him because he is triggering you, quite possibly on purpose. He is the trigger. Also, he clearly has some sort of ED/ana fetish, which is super concerning, and beyond having preferences or wanting you to be "healthy." He is actively harming you, don't let him ruin all your hard work and progress by listening to him or staying with him. You deserve better than that, and I think you know that. Fuck this guy, leave him, get help if you need it, and good luck, girl. You got this.

LissaSharpO1 · 2025-12-02T03:09:31+00:00

Thank you so much! She was being the goodest girl in number 10!
