Vinny I love how you referenced livejournal on the restaurant thread. I had one back in the day. I wish I didn't delete it so I can go back and laugh at my 14 year old self.

I wish our liquor store had a delivery service.. Or a drive thru.

I've seen drive thru liquor stores! Just can't remember what state...the one I reside in or somewhere I visited. :-/

Louisiana I think has them too?

Ny has drive through liquor stores! Well one that I know of in my area but I'm sure if there can be one there is more! Such a cool concept I just discovered it last year and was pregnant so I couldn't use it.

MamaFantastic

i had not thought of her since the day she left.  funny.

smushi

Oh wait... I'm dumb.  And possibly drunk on two glasses of wine.

All of our liquor stores have drive thru's.  But the local joke is the Drive Thru's are for the sake of the Baptists.... Lame church humor

I thought you meant places where you could get booze in a drive thru in an open container.  You can do that in Louisiana.  Something about if the straw is still contained in its wrapper, it's not an 'open container'.

LO has also been fighting sleep hard this week. I've been losing my mind. I finally tried a pacifier tonight even though he's never taken one before and he actually took it for the first time ever! And then passed out.

My computer has been out of commission for the past few days and RTT tells me I have missed 1.3k+ posts. I don't think I can go back and catch up with all that. Have I missed anything big?

@RedDawnsRevenge In my frantic attempts to skim the recent posts I did see that you are going through a very difficult time and I am so sorry. I hope you find a resolution.

I think mine is teething and had some gas. So, Tylenol and gas drops as a last resort, a couple of farts, and now he is sleeping on my chest. Hope he stays asleep.

For your kind listening, pirate baby vs cat.

And while we're talking about name changes... @joytomylifex, I think it's about time that you officially changed your name to @joytomylatex.

I tried changing it a few days ago and it worked for half a second and then switched back.. I might be too dumb for name changes.

The silliest part is people thinking my name is Joy. Seriously, that has happened when meeting people IRL.

Bahaha I should read mine. I bet it's so melodramatic

Dooo iiiit! And then share the top 3 most ridiculous things with us. I had a blogspot. www.hollowemptiness.blogspot.com (Deleted it, so not advertising anything.) I was so emo. I wish I still had it! My Myspace blogs were pretty laughable too.

MamaFantastic

speaking of name changes!!!!

i just figured out the former username of @ghostmonkey through some very unintentional, rabbit-traily reminiscing in posts from the Getting Pregnant board (before it became TTGP) from 2009.  crazy!  now that i know who she is, i feel like i need to reread the stuff i've seen from her.  i found another super duper regular had changed her name too.. someone i actually knew in a FB way.  it's always interesting when you realize stuff like that about people in retrospect.

ghostmonkey won't see this because she's currently banned, but hey...  interesting stuff!

(clearly i'm getting a lot of important work done tonight...)

smushi

@mamafantastic She actually got banned?  Wow.  That's big.

MamaFantastic

evidently.  she's all over the bump so the name is familiar to me, but i don't interact with her at all and i know nothing of the back story re: her banning.

smushi

I just remember her from the time I spent lurking the TTGP board (and continued to lurk even after BFP).  She posted often about how she never did anything to get banned, despite many posters calling her posts 'mean' yadda yadda

Is anyone else oddly saddened still about Joan Rivers's passing?  I loved watching her show on E! and I'm so sad it is gone now, and I'm also sad for the careers of those who cohosted with her.  There would never be a good fit for her spot, unless they somehow talk Chelsea Handler into that role.  And even then...

MamaFantastic

@aprilmay9 i have no idea what's going on with her now...  i was just browsing some old posts from when i was pregnant with kiddo and i saw her name crop up (mostly because the giant red "BANNED" avatar is pretty hard to miss) and through exactly what i was talking about a page or two ago with RDR still being searchable if people quote her name, i was able to figure out she used to be KDodge(#s) from my old bump days.  she was always a colorful poster back then, so i remember her from years ago.  it's just funny to me personally, though none of you guys should or would care.

BUT... i also figured out i used to be on my old board with @jenniferb(#s?) who also is an A14 mama.

i have accomplished nothing real tonight.  but i have sufficiently confirmed to myself that i an a great internet creep.

I believe the term is now sleuth

Yes. I "like" Fashion Police on FB and have to scroll past their posts really quickly or I get sad. I feel like I grew up with her, like she's some sorry of surrogate grandma. Chelsea Handler could work, though. Good thinking.

Blasphemy!  While Chelsea Handler is funny and good at making fun of people (I've liked her as far back as The Chelsea Handler Show and Girls Behaving Badly) she doesn't know shit about fashion.  She needs to hire a stylist or to fire the one she's got.

I read it was a private message between her and a newb that went bad. Parenting suspects conspiracies.

I can't say more than what other mods have already said....but it wasn't one isolated incident that lead to the ban, she got way more warnings over TOU violations than any other poster on these fourms. It was ultimately the bump admins decision to ban. No conspiracies, everyone involved knew there would be a bump wide uproar when it happened.

At the risk of sounding like a major creeper, I'll confess that I might be too because I found your shop and website which revealed info that you've kept private on here. X_X

I love how people GBCB and then lurk. You're not fooling anyone.

We have them in FL. It's a moms best friend.

Also, I'm majorly craving donuts.

My livejournal was very melodramatic and full of quotes from The Used and Modest Mouse as well as talking about how much I loved my boyfriends.

Oh I know. I edited out my town and my last name from my Etsy profile specifically because I figured somebody out there would do exactly what you just described. I know I left our names up, and those who have ordered from me know my address too. It is what it is.

No idea what a live journal is

RedDawnsRevenge

The Internet was so slow when I was in HS. So we just never did that. Also never had a MySpace. AIM was were it was at :P

michaelad3

I had a livejournal, but I'm sure I can't remember what my username was. Rats! Mine was for sure full of song lyrics and angst

My lactation banana bread works wonders! Or maybe it's sitting in a car with a crying baby all afternoon? Just pumped 5oz in 7 minutes. Milk overload!

Eta that's probably not a lot. But it is more than normal for me

I would kill for 5 in 7 minutes! Did you just add Brewers yeast and flax? I know you posted your recipe but it lost amongst a catch-up skim.

Just regular banana bread recipe with 2T brewers yeast and 1T flaxseed meal I also added walnuts and chocolate chips because yum.
Eta I've been having 2 1-inch slices per day.

Yum I'm going to give that a try instead of cookies when I run out of my latest batch! What I would give to pump 5 oz period!!!! I pumped 6 oz this morning and the only thing I did differently was have 2 beers the night before so guess what I'm doing now each night!!!

I'm :bz :bz :bz :bz
Ok maybe more.. This wine is delicious

drinking beer watching the election results roll in. DH is trying to put DD to sleep (its 730pm). ah fun.

G is congested and is up every 1-2 hours, screaming bloody murder. DS1 is coughing away in his bed. This night is lasting forever, and I get to drive 5 hours in the morning.

DH decided to roll dd onto her back when she was sleeping just fine on her belly.... Guess who woke up 5 min later.... Thanks DH
