I agree with this- I know there are plenty of women out there who are doing wonderful, intelligent things and they are great role models too who don't get the same media treatment as celebrities. As far as how to conduct yourself in public, I think Kate does an excellent job and she has a lot more duties that I'm unaware of, I'm sure. In every public appearance she makes, whether it's charity or not, she carries herself in a gracious, friendly, classy manner. I admire that. 

If my only strive in life was to carry myself with grace, class, and friendliness when out in public, then I should've retired at 16.

Look, people like her, I get it.  It's fine.  I just am not one of them.  At all.  And I stated my reasons.  You stated why you like her.  It's not like one of us is right or wrong.  We're even :-)

No hard feelings over here lol, I see your reasoning!!

I'm disappointed that this and peeing in pools have been the only hot button topics today. COME ON PEOPLE!! Say something crazy! :-p

Here's my FFFC: 

Sometimes when I edit posts, I don't say why. It's always because I mixed up words/letters. I just don't want to call further attention to my shitty typing. I am trying to do a better job of remembering to explain my edits  

I tend to do this too! I'm working on it though!

I maintained a pool, and honestly I'd be more concerned about the chemicals than a little pee. Besides, olympic swimmers pee in the pool, so it's not that uncommon.

Alrighty, this is a doosy *gets on flame retardant suit* My father in law is in bad health, and part of me is relieved to see him decline. I know it's horrible to say, but he's an awful awful human being, and has done nothing but make his family miserable. I know my DH will be devistated, and I don't want to see him hurt, but FIL just being gone will save me a lot of fights with him and his family over the access FIL has to our future children. I'll be damned if my kids learn to verbally abuse family members for funsies. Also, I won't have to listen to him telling groups of people how fat and barren his own daughter is. That will be nice.

My FIL was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer last fall.  He and DH have never had a close relationship and he had always been a complete asshole to me since I met DH.  I could go into details but it's not necessary... just know that we considered severing the relationship permanently a few times because of how FIL has acted.

Since his diagnosis, though, things started changing for the better.  DH mended their relationship a bit and we can at least spend time with the in laws without being criticized the entire time.  It's not where it should be but since FIL showed he really did see how wrong he has been we were able to move ahead.  We still have strong boundaries up, but it's good to see change has happened.

I understand how you feel and am not trying to flame you at all- but hopefully your FIL can change for the better, too, before he passes so you are not left with such negative memories.

My FFFC is I don't plan on helping this girl out group of friends hang out with this weekend. She recently moved to a new apartment and the last few months the only time she reaches out to me is to ask for help or to bitch about someone else in our group of friends. She is a very two faced person who at one pointed hated me when DH and I first started dating. Then she apologized after years of awkward moments at group functions and then was all about me and wanted to be friends. Now she's shady again bc she's now friends again with another girl in the group who she stopped talking to when her and I reconciled. So when she texted me asking for help with unpacking I lied and told her I had plans when I don't. Sorry but I see right thru you. Your shady.

At least you didn't say you was going to go and help and then not show up all together.

I am really mad at my husband for doing his job!  He has to be gone all the time from March until October and every time he calls to say he is leaving I get pissed!  He has done this job since we were dating (12 years ago) so I'm not sure what the deal is.  This month he will be gone when he really needs to be home or we will most likely be out of the baby game until October since he is rarely home.

My FFFC, 

I vaginally temp and the other morning I was so sleepy and not fully away when I temped.  I think I know I missed the vagina hole and I hit my pee hole because pee just came out every where. And it was not like a trickle but a freaking spray.  I ended up have to wake up my H and change the sheets.

Flame Free Friday Confessions

Thank you! I had figured out "Friday Confessions," but the two extra Fs were throwing me. I thought maybe they included some colorful curse words or something lol

AFM, I am mildly obsessed with following the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I know not everyone likes her, but I think she is just beautiful and has great style, and they seem to really have a good and stable relationship. They are certainly better role models than 90% of celebrities and politicians from the US.

I'm just puking over this whole thing.

Role models?  She never held a real job (Jigsaw for six months and working for her parents don't count) and her only claim to fame now is pretty hair plus a nice wardrobe.  Oh, and her husband!!  Yes, please, daughter - grow up to be that.

EDIT: Sorry - I just loathe the blind love people have for her.  She needs to DO something before I'll respect her for the role she's in.  I believe she has the potential, but she better do something soon other than run around in pretty clothes with perfect hair.  The media talks about her shoes!  Ugh.  So shallow when there are real women out there doing awesome awesome things with their brains.

I don't disagree with you, but I would like to point out that she is now a mother and does a lot of charity work (and even a little diplomacy).  Do I think "princess" is a job to aspire to - No.  But I also think there are worse people to admire.  It isn't her choice that the media would rather focus on what she wore to a charity gala than the fact that she's the patron of the foundation focusing on support for British armed forces, young people, and conservation.  

You don't say?  That is AMAZING!

What?  Like your urethra?  How is that possible?  I've had a cytoscopy and that seems like precision work, plus it didn't make me urinate.  

I'm not trying to shame you, I just can't wrap my head around this.

Well, he could always quit so he can stay home and get you pregnant. Then you can have a baby and no income.

That's what he says! Ha ha! I know I'm being ridiculous.

there may or may not have been a couple days this week where my lunch consisted of an easter egg (the boiled and dyed kind) and a handful of jelly beans.

i will also purposefully drive slow on the double-yellow when i feel like someone is driving too close, just to piss them off.

This is a super lame one. I pick up contract work English editing scientific papers of mainly ESL scientists who submit to American journals (so that their poor grammar doesn't affect the acceptance of their work). Confession: I SUCK at grammar. I have always done poorly in English/grammar - so I always feel like I'm cheating somehow, since I can barely write English correctly myself. Like, the scientists who are paying for editing deserve better or something. (I am totally going over this statement to make sure it's grammatically correct, which it probably isn't - because I suck at grammar and can't tell!!!)

I would do this.  Any chance you could PM some info about it....?

I would really like info on this too! @MaddScientist

PMed both of you (I hope - first try ) 

@MaddScientist - i know you don't know me because i'm new around here, but can you point me in the right direction for this stuff?  i do have a science background and can be a grammar nazi (for all my lack of capitalization on forums) and i'm desperate for employment these days.  pretty please?

 My FFFC: My brothers wife and I have a deal that we will be pregnant together and have due dates a month or so apart. I know that it could happen but her cycles are so wonky (she has told me) that it might not. Anyhow, I think she is pregnant now because her and my brother have changed some things that have thrown some clues that they are (they did the same when she was pregnant with my nephew) and I'm secretly hoping that this cycle will be our cycle. Ahh.

That is a really really stupid deal to make. What happens when you do and one of you miscarries?

Oh, I can introduce you to my sister and she can tell you how that goes. She lost a friend over it because her friend miscarried and my sister carried to term.

truth.  my BFF and i were supposed to be due a week apart (and we DIDN'T have any stupid pact like this) and i miscarried...i'm not going to dump her as a friend or anything but it's really, really fucking hard to hear her talk about her pregnancy.

My FFFC:  I just got off the phone with financial aid and signed up for classes to finish my bachelors.  I start Monday and I haven't been in school since 2004.  I told H I'm excited.  Secretly, I'm scared shitless, for no rational reason.

No shame, I don't know what exactly I hit but I peed in the bed. All I know is piss sprayed out of my vagina area. Eta- to say vagina area and not my vagina hole.

If urine is spraying out of your vagina, I
think you have some lines crossed.

Point taken.  My thought process was that there are some people I find role-model worthy solely because they are good parents.  Obviously, I have no idea whether Kate is a good mom or not.

FFFC #2: I am a closet etiquette Nazi. I side eye a ton of things my friends do/don't do while planning weddings, baby showers, etc but I don't have the heart to say anything about it. (I honestly think it would be rude to call them out so I probably never will)
My latest complaint: DH is going to be a groomsman at a friends wedding in June. Yesterday he was informed that he needs to show up at the venue four hours early to decorate it. Not asked. Told.
Edit:words are hard

So I guess you need to relearn about how two wrongs don't make a right. This is the stupidest fucking reasoning ever, and makes you just as much of an asshole as the guy tailgating you.
