Re: **FFFC 4/4**

  • Guys. Seriously. We can't all be cool kids and sit at the Gryffindor table. (Is that a BINGO square?)


    HUFFLEPUFF PRIDE FTW!!!

    We had Cedric Diggory. Suck it.
    Ewwww you can keep his sparkly gangly self.

  • 1. I have never read the HP books and probably never will.  I would say that I am the worst youth services librarian ever, but then remember that even reluctant readers will likely pick up the most popular titles (i.e diary of a wimpy kid series).  I like surprising folks with unexpected gems.

    2. I will gladly post a new thread the next time I feel like flying off the handle about my stupid father, but I'm pretty sure that 4-5 responses in, I will be told to start a blog.  So into the random thread it goes where it will just eventually get buried among posts of grilled cheese.

    I don't always explain why I have edited a post.

    Also...I too had to figure out how y'all knew what house you belonged to. The quiz I found says Hufflepuff...I'm kinda tempted to try others and see if I get the same results.
    I mostly try to explain if I've written a big post or I'm in a discussion with someone. If I'm going to add an apostrophe or something quick I don't think it's worth explaining bc nobody probably even cares.
    I only explain why I've edited a post if I think someone else will go in there while I'm fixing my bad spelling or grammar while I'm doing it.

  • I have been waiting all week for this! I have a few confessions: 1. I still take hot showers. I know we're not supposed to, but I can't stand lukewarm water. 2. #1 actually only happens on the rare occasions I can even be bothered to take a shower. A couple times a week usually, these days. If I don't smell bad or my hair doesn't look greasy, I don't want to deal with getting wet and having to brush and dry my long hair.
    I always take hot showers @livelaughlove88.  I read somewhere that you would get way overheated before you would start overheating the baby and you'd get out of the shower before hurting the baby.  I obviously don't lounge in the shower with the hot water on my belly, but I totally use it to help with my sore back.  :)

    Or if I'm clarifying something & it's been a few minutes I make sure to add ETA. In case people have already seen it or possibly quoted it.


        




     

  • @Zarkarella - I think it's sweet that your friend wants to throw you a shower/sprinkle. My friend has told me she is throwing me a sprinkle since I had a girl the first time, and now we're having a boy.  I've told her over and over that it's not necessary, but she keeps insisting and basically said the same thing - that they all want to buy us some cute boy clothes so why not make it a party.  I worry people will say something about it, but then I think that I didn't ask for it and I've told them it isn't necessary. I'm accepting graciously and will enjoy hanging with my friends.

    Exactly... If I'm just fixing one word/mistake immediately I don't tell in myself :)

    I also feel kinda boring that that was my confession...

    4 Points for Gryffindor!

    Oh I'm a Gryffindor too. I will be honest and say I even have a Pottermore account.

    @ashcross‌

    Same.

    So, I'm the only Ravenclaw here? ::crickets chirp in the background::
    I was just going to ask where all my Ravenclaw bitches were at! Ravenclaw FTW!

    I'm a Ravenclaw too!

  • I've never read the Harry Potter books. I tried once when I was in high school, but I only read about 30 pages of the first book and I gave up. I think I will try again when little girl is old to understand them and maybe we can read them together.

  • 1) I have only pooped in from of DH once in the last 9 years thanks to a case of food poisoning. Some things just don't need to be shared in our relationship. I will totally stand outside the door while he's unloading and make fun of him and sing popping songs. I just don't need to be a first hand witness.

    2) I am looking a bit ridiculous today thanks to my weight semi obsession. I'm been gaining and losing the same 3-5 pounds for the last like 3 mos (I, in no way, deprive myself of food, but I do monitor weight daily. I am losing fat at a faster rate than I'm gaining baby). At my last ob appt, it was a sunny, warmish day, so I wore cropped jeans, t shirt, light sweater and a pair of Toms. Since I have an appt today, I couldn't possibly wear the jeans and a sweater that the rain would dictate. If I have gained an ounce, I want to be sure it's not clothes weight being recorded. I decided that the forecast of rain would mean light, scattered showers. Instead, it has meant down pours. Luckily I wore a leather pair of sockless shoes, so my Toms won't be killed walking the farm property.
  • I live in an apartment with 1 bathroom. DH was in the shower one time and I really had to poop, so I left the apartment and went to the bathroom in the apartment complex's clubhouse across the street. I guess my FFFC is that I thought this was normal? Wouldn't everyone?
    If I had to go and couldn't wait, hell yes I would do this rather than do it while he was in the shower.

  • DH and I close the door when pooing and it will remain that way. Also, I have NEVER heard him fart when he was awake. Even then, it has happened maybe twice and they were very short and tame.

    Ditto!!!! I make sure to wear the same thing to every appointment and I've been monitoring my weight closely. I've been gaining and losing the same 3lbs since January. If I'm going to own up to a gain, it's not going to be because of my sweater!!!



    Also- I could never quite figure out why I couldn't tag you properly in a post..... I've always tagged you "puG4gb"..... I am hugely not a pug fan (no offence- I'm sure they're adorable- Im just not a fan, and prefer big dogs without creepy ass eyes), so I always quietly cursed the breed every time I tried and failed to tag you. Lesson learned.

    That's hilarious! I am with you on the pug front. Baby sat one over night and the only time the damn dog wasn't peeing on something was when I was holding him in my lap. Including through the night. But, I'm a big dog person anyway. A pug will never call my house home.
  • My FFC: While it is not a disease I would actually wish on anyone, reading some other posters stories about their bio-fathers makes me at least a little thankful that my DNA provider's dementia reached a point that while he vaguely remembers my older siblings (20 year age gap, their mom was his first wife) he has no memory of me whatsoever. I feel guilty for feeling this way but the last couple years have been the first time since I was a kid that I haven't gotten regular phone calls/e-mails guilt tripping me about not wanting to deal with his issues or trying to talk me into "lending" him money I knew he would never repay. He was mentally and emotionally abusive to all of his wives and children, but always got upset and tried to lay guilt trips about how "everyone hates me!" The last couple years of my life have been so much easier with him completely out of the picture. He is in a nursing home several states away and I doubt I will ever see him again before he passes away. I have already made peace with the fact the man I called "dad" in my childhood is already gone.

    I'm sorry @Symphony4586 . Just because fathers (bio or in any other form) should not suck.

    ((hugs))

    Yeah I'm with you on this one.

    The only time things got gross with DH & I is when we both had the stomach flu. But we were too sick to even care that there was an "in case" vomit bag within reach at all times.
