Tuesday Chatter

I've made jokes about cancer. I've also made jokes about child molestation. I am just aware enough to make them to appropriate people during appropriate times, not announcing them loudly in a crowded room full of people I only somewhat know.

Okay, I just looked.  This was the first post, and it's not 4-1 related, but it's annoying.


I am very selective when it comes to befriending friends and family, but I'm doing this once and once only, so now's your chance.... It occurs to me that for each and everyone of you on my friends list, I catch myself looking at your pictures, sharing jokes and news, as well as support during good and bad times. I am also happy to have you among my friends. We will see who will take the time to read this message until the end. If you appreciate your friends an...d family from all over the world, go ahead and copy this into your status too, even if it's just for a minute. I'm going to be watching to see who takes care of the friendship, just like me. Thank you all for being a part of my life. Copy and paste please, don't share!!!!!! If no one reads my wall, this should be a short experiment. This is a Facebook game to see who reads and who just scrolls. So, if you read this, leave one word on how we met. Only one word, then copy this to your wall so I can leave a word on yours.

I fucking hate those.

mostly because I hate the notifications after I've commented.

My mom did one of these and it actually got kind of hislarious at some point but they are really annoying and I ignore most of them.

@loislayn23 I never comment on them.  I love the ones where they say they're deleting everyone who doesn't comment.  I must be kewl because they never delete me, lolz

I'm glad April Fool's Day is only 1 day.  The extra emails I've gotten today are stupid and annoying.

There aren't going to be Bacon Flavored M&Ms people.  Quit forwarding that shit to me.

FFTC? I dunno. UO? Stil dunno. 

I'm rather annoyed because I posted the no makeup challenge thing on FB because my BFF asked me to, but I didn't realize it was a cancer awareness thing. If I'd known, I would have never done it. I thought it was just a, "Yay! We can be proud of ourselves and post pictures of ourselves without makeup because we like ourselves" thing, and I can totally get behind that.

I'm also really really fucking annoyed at people who posted on FB about how annoying it was. Esp the chick who briefly changed her picture to a weird looking meme dog that said, "This is what I look like without makeup" and commented about how ugly the women were without makeup. Way to tear down half the population, dumbass.

Precisely!

I think fake pregnancy announcements suck, but I don't think those people mean to be malicious or insensitive. They're just naive because they've probably never experienced the pain that comes with infertility. So, for that reason, I don't say anything to them. However, one of my other facebook friends blatantly called out everyone on her friends list that made a fake pregnancy announcement this morning. I liked her post and silently high-fived her.

Well that's just dickish. Also, you are hot with or without makeup.

but I look like a child without makeup.

*insert very inappropriate joke about hot children* *realize it is the equivalent of a big room full of people I only kinda know *delete inappropriate joke*

Unless you are sneaky, I've seen you without makeup and never thought you looked like a child. Just a hottie.

I love to camp, but DH is not a fan. Maybe because we booked a trip to the beach, and I could not WAIT to go... so we went a few days early and camped. I bought a tent, and just went for the cheapest not realizing that it said "junior tent" on it. Yep, it was teeny tiny and we were sunburned. I have not yet lived that one down.

But, when we do camp (at Dale Hollow... ahem, @tinyhumantoe) we go all out. Corn on the grill, potato packets with butter/onions/peppers, cast iron skillet to cook breakfast in, fishing poles to catch trout and cook over the campfire. We bring the boat too and stay on the water all day mostly. Not sure how we will spend our days with T, we haven't taken him camping yet but plan to do so this summer.

TB hates me and won't let me post from mobile! What happened to the AFD pranks like salt in the sugar bowl or setting the clock 15 minutes ahead? What are some fun pranks?

They are in person, and people don't interact with IRL people anymore.  Ha.  Buzzfeed had some seriously cute ones for kids and I can't wait until LO is old enough.  That's what it's supposed to be about.  Little pranks that are not done at the expense of anyone else.

I don't trust places named Church. They might try to serve me side dishes with jello and floating fruits or shredded carrots.

Church's chicken has amazing side dishes including fried okra and corn nuggets.

No AFD posts on my FB but I do have a few Autism Awareness Month posts. Light it up blue! My friends are great.

Netflix has 2 new original movies they released today. One is Rotisserie Chicken. Over an hour of just chicken spinning on a rotisserie. THe other is bacon frying.

That's the kind of AFJ I like.

Also, I love this site on April 1st each year: https://www.thinkgeek.com/

Does anyone plan to do a lot of camping with LO this summer? What are your favorite camping meals (including over the fire ones)

We will definitely be camping this year. We've got a few campgrounds pretty lose to us now. We took Nate in our annual camping trip with our friends last Memorial Day and he had a great time. We're going with them in July this year and I can't wait since they live in NY and we haven't seen them since June. I love breakfast in a skillet over the fire. So yummy! I also love those pie sandwich maker things.

I had some feelings about the How I Met Your Mother finale.  I haven't watched the show in 2 seasons now but wanted to still watch it.  Then I cried because I was so pissed about it.

I cried at the very end. I'm glad it was an hour though and summed up the rest of the time. I'm a little stunned by how sad it was though.

I don't understand Chick Fil A taking over as the #1 fried chicken place (over KFC). Yes, CFA has great chicken, but it's not the same as going to KFC. That is weird to me.

I would pick chick-fil-a over KFC for their chicken any day. KFC is too greasy for me.

So there are multiple things circulating my FB right now about now posting fake pregnancy announcements on April Fools Day. It is all about infertility/pregnancy loss. I'm conflicted about them.


What does S12 say?

I hate April Fool's Day. I think raising awareness as to why a fake pregnancy announcement is a cruel joke isn't the worst thing. Many people don't think there's anything wrong with it and hopefully one of those articles will help them see why it is. That being said, my friend is due at the end of April and her husband posted a fake birth announcement. Granted, it was extremely obvious it was fake (weight was something like 8 lbs 19 oz and the name was not something my friend would be ok with) but it was crazy to see how many people believed it!

tinyhumantoe said:

Okay, I'll agree that it is insensitive.  And in poor taste.

So....... what is it I'm disagreeing with now?  Haha. 

I guess yes, saying that is insensitive, but I don't file it with very politically incorrect things that are also insensitive.  It's like jokes vs slurs, sometimes there is a difference. These are jokes, and they aren't meant to be hurtful to anyone who is struggling with that sort of thing.  I mean, I could make an April Fool's joke that LO is reading, and it could be insensitive to someone with a child who has a reading disability. 

If someone posted about their pregnancy on FB... "Just call me Fertile Myrtle!  We are expecting #4!  We're scared and excited!" - then would the 'fertile myrtle' be a jab at everyone who is experiencing fertility problems?  I would never post this, but I'm genuinely asking. 

If people are looking at everything as a jab at them, they really need to get out of the me, me, me, me mentality.  Stop being offended at evarythang.

I think a post like that would be in bad taste. I know month 11 of TTC without ovulating the entire time included 2 cycles of clomid I would be upset over a post like that. I think it does sound like you're throwing it in people's faces even if you don't mean to.

I am absolutely relieved that the show is finally over, since watching the last 2-3 seasons has been  torture for me (yet I still continued to watch...?).  I thought the finale was good.  Not Friday Night Lights good, but much better than the hour-long flashback scenes I was expecting.

This season did suck. Way drawn out. It was defiantly time for it to end. I still love the series overall though

I agree with you, that it while not intentionally hurtful, it would be in poor taste.

My feet are really calloused. Should I be embarrassed to get a pedi?

I am way, way late to this thread, but I got a pedi on Sunday.

My are all sorts of jacked up from basically wearing nothing but soccer cleats from age 9-16, so I have pretty sizable callouses on my big toes when I haven't had a pedi in awhile.  The guy had to get out this strange, razor-like tool.  I pretended I didn't notice. I am pretty sure he spent like 15 minutes on my callouses.  I'm gross.

I have my 1-hour on Thursday, people keep bringing me carby deliciousness today.

 I'm going to start setting up all emails with read-receipts. That's how stupid some of my coworkers are.

Related-not related: I love when people have read receipts turned on on their iPhones. I think they are BSC for turning them on, but love when they do.

Wait. so if I email you and you have an iPhone, I get a message you read it?

As far as I know that's the way it works. If I have read receipts set up on my Outlook and send you an email to your phone and you read it, it would send me a read receipt without you getting the notification.

No, sorry. When they have read receipts on their text messages. So when I text you, it tells me what time you read it.

Mine only work between other iPhones, I love them because I know if DH has seen my text. He is often unable to respond promptly, but I know he got it.

That looks so good! PS I meant to thank you for your advice on cooking turkey cutlets a few weeks ago.  I actually received a "compliments to the chef" from my husband and the children both ate seconds.

tinyhumantoe

A few months ago someone asked me if I could somehow knock 50% off the price of a system because they couldn't afford it.  It was equivalent to asking a car dealership to knock 50% off a decked out Lexus sports coupe because you need it to transport your kids to school.

Now she's back.  Wants a formal quote.  She said, "Prayer is appreciated because I really want this equipment."

I'm chuckling a little because this is non-essential equipment.  What planet is she from?
