tacky tacky tacky.
I've got my judgy face on today and I love it.
After reading something on the interwebs that couples who have joint FB accounts have trust issues, I now totally judge all (two) of my friends who have joint accounts.
Even if it's not a trust issue, how hard is it to have your own account? I just don't understand because it seems so much harder to explain who is posting.

Since I'm mostly on mobile, I only see the little tiny pics, and they don't always look like what they are. I say this with all the love, but the tiny @menrandes avatar looks like two widespread legs, and even though I now know that's not what it is, that's still what I see.

Guilty! But only because someone had warned about the reverse pic lookup thing on Google ... this is a good reminder that I need to find something that isn't on social media to use.

My FFFC is I have no empathy for people that are confused about their cycle but refuse to temp for whatever reason. If you are not temping then you need to accept that you will not have a 100% clear picture on what's going on.
I also get twitchy when people who have no idea what they are talking about do chart stalks. FF has tutorials for a reason. They also have a game that you can practice your chart stalking skills. Telling people that they O'd when there is zero temp shift does nothing.
So I love stockings. As in Christmas morning stockings. But I know the only way for me to have a stocking full of stuff is to get it myself. That's fine. I think I go a little overboard on the stocking stuffers for my husband. Do you know how many times I have done test runs on stuffing the stocking to make sure everything fits properly? It's kind of ridiculous really. Tests runs for stockings.

This is why we have one massive stocking that we share - but I have taught Mr. Bug to add things to the stocking
@PetraStonegirl@buggirl72@CFearsy you ladies know your shit so I ask: Is there a trick to *when* one should start charting and temping- as in a particular day in my cycle? I want to start doing both correctly but don't know much about it. I've downloaded FF and it's all ready for me to get my shit together, I just know nothing about getting this party started! (Sorry if this is not an appropriate thread to ask my question and I do plan on further researching, I just figured i would bring it up since you guys mentioned folks not charting!)

FFFC: I bring in props when appliance shopping!! This has only been for kitchen appliances. I have the correct exterior measurements w/ me but I want to make sure the oven will actually fit my cookie sheets and that the fridge will hold the cartons, containers, jars and bottles of the size I actually use...not the ones in the pics! You guys notice how there are a lot of 1 liter bottles in fridge model pics right?! And how do we know if it's to scale anyway? (FWIW, my props are always empty) People look at me like I'm crazy but hey, what are you going to do once it's delivered and it's NOT what you want?!
ETA: @Nikolie93 - Should I have XP'd this in your OCD thread?!
@agpjt413 whaaaaaa? I have to admit that hearing you say that it makes so much sense but if I was to see someone in a store doing that I may think they are a bit crazy..and I may even judge

And I also don't like joint FB accounts. I know for a fact that everyone on my FB that has one, has relationship issues or is trying to recover from a big fuck up.
I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.
@meredithcarole I am not sure if it's because of your avatar or what but I pictured you as a pretty, innocent looking gal and you do look like I imagined!

Lol @heartbot that's how I say @ktlovess too so she's also a goddess of love as far as I'm concerned.
I have a love for dirty rap the dirtier the better and I thought I was in the office alone today because most everyone is away for vacation and so I'm blasting Adina Howard loud at my desk and when she's making sex noises my coworker (older man) walks by and I sit there awkwardly struggling to turn it off quickly. He makes a comment about liking rap too tells me he's leaving and to have a good holiday and walks away I still feel weird.
Me too! That new Big Sean & E-40 song is the best thing that's happened to me all month. I even like the edited version! We could even use it to make a meme for the trolls.
*in my best tough guy rap voice* you little stupid stupid, I ain't messing with you!
I went to Nordstrom Rack this morning to buy a gift for the last person on my list.
I left with that gift. As well as two dresses, a pair of sandals, and some PJs for myself.
@holdingouthope That's what you get for going to Nordstrom Rack. Last time I went in there looking for a gift I walked out with a pair of Tory Burch riding boots. For myself, obvs. Because there's no one I'd buy a gift THAT nice for.
Also, let me know when the daily post from me saying, "Wait @petrastonegirl is THIS bannable?" has worn out its welcome. It might get old.
I think we should have @PetraStonegirl write out a special post with what is and is not bannable. Because I'm pretty sure I can randomly say things as long as it's not specifically directed at someone

I see your Liz Lemon and raise you Debra Morgan. My personal hero. I fully intend on using her gifs whenever possible, but I see some potential issues...
Like if I post this when someone asks if we think they could be pregnant:
Or, this if I post this when someone posts a drive-by BFP:
Or, maybe this might not be the best thing to post when someone gets their ass rightfully chewed out by others:
Because then someone might post something semi-coherent that basically states that I am a:
But, then again, it might all be worth it if I can bring back old style Ute Goggles:
Or, better yet, introduce my new personal favorite way to deal with phishing:
But, in the end:
At least according to some.

Okay, I see how you are playing this game. Since you raised the stakes, I'm going to counter with Chelsea Handler.
Pretty much any drive-by-symptom-spotting-might-I-be-pregnant post
When the OP DDs a post that has already been QFP'd
When the OP's responses are pretty much not coherent
For the second (or third) goat of the day (or when the OP gives a sorry-not-sorry apology)
When the OP thinks support means being coddled and not being told the truth
When the OP blames everyone else
When the OP refuses to answer any clarifying questions
Ok I finally have a confession. I lied to you ladies. I wasn't supposed to be off work for another hour, and when I did get off work I was supposed to have a beer. I instead got off work early and under the heating blanket and now I'm pretty I just can't move.
And I don't feel bad AT ALL! muahahaha (that's my evil laugh)
Ok. You caught me it wasn't really a lie. Except the beer, I guess that was kinda a lie.
Edit: I don't know what's wrong with my evil smile
It's a day late and a dollar short but... Last night I was eating rock candy. I got to the end and realized I had eaten the string. I gave no fucks after that and did it again with the next piece of rock candy.
