Dear Parenting Board

credcat7

You don't know me, and that's OK.  I just wanted to say you gals are funny, hilarious, snarky, loving people and I have lots in common with many of you.  I am writing because I feel weird being a lurker, the word itself makes me cringe.  I decided it would be OK to "lurk" if I told you I was doing it.... and have spent many minutes trying to come up with a clever word for being a person who reads, LOL's and almost replies to many posts but then decides to just stick to her BMB and let people have their fun. 

So please, go forth and drink, eat specific foods (and non other) judge each other but it seems always with love .... watch sexy men on TV and debate their worthiness... I'll be over here in my corner watching the fun ... oh and having a hard apple cider at noon and eating my cheesed Doritos that have been in the freezer and dip them in sour cream.  Happy Friday

Littledeer84

Doritos in the freezer...why have I not heard of this? For freshness or are they more tasty this way?

And hi! I'm not one of the funny snarky ones, but I do love this board and contribut when I can.

Thanks guys.  I promise to participate when I have something worthy to say

 

Drink on... !

I'll come out as a dirty lurker, too. Just so I don't get "OK, BUT WHO ARE YOU'D" if I ever jump in. I don't think its the ladies on here that are intimidating...it's the speed at which your posts blow up! A girl just has a hard time following.

That said, I'm exhausted by the loss mom/glider debacle and just want to laugh. So...*waves hi*

LadyXaverian

Lurk less, post more. Hi and welcome.

Hi new friends!

I'm trying to branch out from the Multiples board (twins coming in Sept/Oct, won't the 5 year old DS be surprised) so I'll out myself as a lurker here too. Can't drink with you right now but you make me laugh so hard sometimes the DH asks what I'm up to.

Lurkers, come out and play!

Another lurker reporting in. I really love gifs and I live in soft pants.

Welcome lurkers! Post more!

I hardly ever drink, but I whore it up in the drinking thread. Sometimes I even just talk to myself in there, because no one else is here.

I vote this becomes the drinking thread.

I'll drink to that

Excellent. Not drinking, but I'd like to take a moment to be sad about breaking up with my favorite carry out place today. Good food but increasingly shitty service. Also the only place around here to get samosas. ::pours one out for deprived stomach::

We had to break up with a restaurant for a similar reason. The service was just so hit or miss and it was impossible to know when they'd actually get your order right. It gave me the sads when we broke up with them because I loved the food when it was right.

@monkeybabe, I have been meaning to tell you that your siggy photo is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. That little toothy grin just kills me. 

Aw thanks.

Those kind of break ups are some of the hardest ones I've had in my life. No matter how good the food is, the shitty service just kills it.

Monkeybabe

Parenting, should I make shortbread cookies or apple hand pies?

Hey ladies! Cracked open a new box of wine just for this partay.

I wish I had some wine, but I'm just too lazy to go out and get some. Honey whiskey and coke will have to do.

Monkeybabe

@supercereal, I'm mesmerized by your Colbert.

Monkeybabe

Proboards is the shit. I started seeing humpty over there, though I don't know if I just never noticed it was her before, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone from Parenting over there before.

SuperCereal

@BrightEyes112 Thank you. I love me some Colbert.

Have you ever tried the cake flavored vodka? It's like an orgasm in my mouth.

HyVee gave out samples in my college town! I love my Pucker vodka, especially grape!

I'm very emotional about it. We used to eat there all the time when I was pregnant. H brought carry out to the hospital the day after DS was born and the owner wouldn't let him pay. She's super sweet, just not great at running a restaurant.

I feel for you so much.

___ Is it sweet? It seems like it would be really sweet and booze shouldn't be sweet.

It is sweet. Definitely different, but a good different.

It is sweet. Definitely different, but a good different.

What would you put it in then? I feel like if it's already sweet, putting it with sprite like I would normal vodka would be way too much sweet.

I mix coke with it. But I have this insane obsession with coke.

@Merie412‌ I can't tell you if it was good or not, I was too drunk.

theimpossibleastronaut

Hi all. :waves:
I'm bummed. My mom has a stomach bug, so nummy parents aren't coming for Easter this weekend. FIL is working, so only MIL is coming to Easter lunch tomorrow. I'm bummed because my parents live in another state, and I miss them

On the plus side, I cleaned my entire house today, so I don't have to do it this weekend. Cheers!

theimpossibleastronaut

Ps is this the drinking/general wassup thread tonight? Sorry if it's not.

theseaword

Today was my last day of maternity leave. Very sad and a little nervous about going back to the grind. There was a lot of cuddling and head sniffing today. Finishing off my cider variety pack tonight. And watching old Dexters which is only adding to the depression.

I may have created an account...but I dare not post on ML until shit calms down. I did notice drinking and parenting as well as book club. I also may have loved some things.

My BMB is over there. I've never done much lurking off my BMB there, except the Geeks and Gamers board. The recent ML dramaz changed that, though.

Thanks @pobrecita‌ and @elf828‌ !

You too, elf! Boy or girl?

I just cried during a commercial.

I think this cherry lemonade pinnacle vodka was a big fucking mistake. It's tastes terrible. Happy Friday everyone! I'm doing shots to celebrate the completion of my drum room
