FFFC

I forgot this one: my husband has been trying to book me a massage, first for my birthday, and now for Valentine's day. I keep telling him I don't "need" one because he's trying to book them at places I don't like. I have one place (maybe 2) around here that I like to go. He should know that. Until he figures it out, I keep refusing his gift. (I know I'm the only one suffering because of it, but it's not that hard. Woodhouse. That's all.)

My response to that would be "thank you so much -- Sandy (or whoever) at Woodhouse is my favorite, and she works on Tuesdays (or whenever)."

@none5 - can I come over for dinner? I'll do the dishes.... please?! :-)

Of course. We always welcome guests, especially those who help out around the house!

@cmcmillan0901 i'm sorry but i'm not passive aggressive. I seriously don't get who is mean or childish so if you ladies are referring to me then let's not beat around the bush just say it.

Yes, because calling everyone "heifers" isn't passive aggressive, it's just straight up rude.

Oh are we talking about that again...

Next week we should have two FFFCs. One for the nice ladies and one for the "meanies".

My confession is that I like FFFC about food.  Makes me feel a little better and that maybe I'm not the only one out there who had a piece of chocolate cheesecake for lunch.

My boss bought me chocolates for Valentine's Day and I had to take them out to my car so I wouldn't eat the whole box at work. Now I have horrible heartburn. Wish I would have remembered chocolate = heartburn while pregnant about an hour ago.

I'm back and all I can say is wow "fucking bitches" huh?  Well join the club @andretrr.  Anyways to @cece2682 I apologize for upsetting you, it was not meant with malicious intent at all.  While you do have more tact than RM, some of your comments and responses to people can be a little abrasive imo.  At the same time you are very sensitive, which there is nothing wrong with, just be able to accept it as easily as you can spill it.  Thank you @smiles21866 & @lilbit0910

I confess that I think you get way too much enjoyment out of drama. For the love of god - LET IT GO!

I ate the Valentines cookie that my neighbor brought over for Ava during nap time. And it was delicious.

I confess that I've been on the bump way too much today. And I've been watching "Untold Stories of the ER" on mute bc A had taken 5 naps today. He likes to sleep like his mom!

And HOW DID I NOT KNOW that CanuckMam was RM?

He really has noooo idea how lucky he is.

I have a couple but none very juicy:  

1. Most of the comments in this FFFC make wonder if some people ever really left high school 

2. I need to check out the drama on the Sept 14 board. I have avoided the UOs and FFFC because usually the drama and ignorance of people just annoys me. 

3. DH and I have a super romantic date tonight at... Wait for it.... Pizza Ranch. Yep. Actually excited for this

4. I have eaten more sweets today than I have over Christmas and thanksgiving combined. Amongst these sweets were 2 huge private owned bakery sized stuffed doughnuts!

I confess I went back and re-read the entire thread to see if Canuckmam was revealed to be RM...clearly way too much time on my hands...and now I have a headache :P

I didn't get that but who knows. I don't have a RM conspiracy theory , I think she just left!

The main people who are talking about letting stuff go are the main ones who keep bringing stuff up but are selective about it.

Yes. What was said is that RM is Canadian. Not that she is the screenname CanuckMam


Whoops! Reading comprehension fail. That's what I get for scanning 100 posts in 5 minutes

@cece2682 it was not meant to be malicious at all and I could've gone about it a different way like not calling you out, for that I apologize. Like I said, some of your comments I do find a little abrasive or off but I'm sure others might feel the same about me. I guess my takeaway from this should be to use my words more carefully just as I've told you.

I think this is more of an UO but I think this BMB has a "nice" clique, where everything has to be politically correct and dripping with sugar.

Eh, I don't like much PC, but I also don't like it when people act childish just because this is the internet. There are grown ways to have a debate and argue. I do think there are some sensitive people, but that is what happens when you have more than just yourself. Not everyone is this hardcore internet cool person who takes things in stride. Some people actually get their feelings hurt and I think we as adults should respect that. It is not a majority either, so I do not see the big issue with just treating a few people a bit differently (by not being as harsh in text) because they are indeed sensitive.

Let's rewind a little bit, because I hate hypotheticals who are we talking about? I reread this entire thread and I didn't see anyone being mean or childish? I saw a comment and people agreed with it, then other people got their panties in a bunch. Who are these rude and childish people everyone is referring to. Please call them out. Are you referring to me?

No, I wasn't even talking about this thread. I am talking about in general, as you were as well. I am talking about any time. I don't know why you automatically assume I mean you either. This was the only response of yours that I've read thus far. I assumed you were talking about people being PC and sunshine & rainbows all the time, not necessarily this thread. Am I wrong?

@cece2682 - Clearly, some people are not going to let the Allah comment go.  Granted, it is not something that I would say and I do not agree with it, and I think that most Americans need to learn tolerance when it comes to other's religions.  However, you have apologized left and right over it - what more can you do?  

To everyone who still has a problem with the Allah comment and anything else that cece has said that you do not like:  Use this as a teaching moment and not as a moment to call her out.  You will get farther with honey than you will with spite.  And this goes for anything anyone says on the board that you do not like. If someone says something that you do not agree with, explain to them your side rather than be a bitch and treating them like something awful. Get mad and get over, then move on by teaching. When you act poorly in response, you are no better than the original problem.  Honestly, I did not read @tondraluv's comment as being mean.  I thought she was being funny, but this turned south quickly. (And I was not the recipient, so what I think doesn't really matter.)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone, but you do not have to be rude in response.  One thing I love about this board are the healthy debates and discussions.  It is the reason that I have stuck around for as long as I have.  I will say that my opinion on certain topics have been swayed at times.  However, if someone only retorted with "You're an idiot for your thoughts or shut up, bitch", then I never would have stayed.  

This is exactly how I feel. 

Leave past responses in the past. There is really no need to say underhanded insults, directly or generally. Everyone is different in terms in how they respond to things and how they handle situations.

Nicely put @kravenmoore. I agree with what you wrote.

I can never remember my confession by the time Friday rolls around. Also, by the time I get to the confession post, its old news. Whomp whomp.

Edit: grammar fix

You make great points. I'm one of the people really disturbed by the Allah comment. I'm moving on, and just hoping that it can be a teaching moment.
