    @nesenotes - my sister has her 2.5 year old daughter convinced that the alarm clock is a timer, and no one gets out of bed until the timer goes off... it worked for quite a while - now she gets up to go pee in the morning then ends up with them in bed until they wake up - not ideal but a little better than 5am wakeups.  Her son (twins) could sleep until much much later if they didn't have to scoot off to daycare.

    I might have to try that!!

    BLAH EDIT

    Edit to add tag!
    Catching up but...I thought we weren't supposed to be sharing info like this across the boards. I am assuming that she also wanted you to broadcast this.
    I completely agree with this.  Especially with all the craziness that's happened on TB lately, I wouldn't want my birth announcement or problems broadcast to everyone.

    Did I miss the part where we have a FB group now? Please someone fill me in.
    We've had it for about a month now, I think. @JunkieBrewster has the application link :)
    I tried getting in and I guess I was rejected? Do y'all not know me well enough? :P

  • @3girlsnthepup‌ hang them in the bathroom and take hot showers/baths with the door closed and no fans on. The steam from that should be enough to reduce the wrinkles drastically. Just lightly "tug" the material after the showers/baths are done to help straighten it.

    I would do this. Or the dry cleaner could do it. Steamers are like $30 and they are life changing!! I freaking love mine. I use it on everything! It's a million times faster than ironing.

  • @3girlsnthepup‌ if the shower trick doesn't work, I got a handheld steamer for our wedding for less than $20. It might be cheaper than the dry cleaners and then you'll have it for any other time you need it (which for me is only when I'm in weddings)

    @CandEChicago @Mainemama @teeta81 @Jrod13 @Nauticallife, please help me fix my blunder and edit the posts you quoted.
    Why do I remember that sharing FB information on the Bump was considered a "no no" for the FB group? I just don't want anyone unnecessarily getting in trouble with the FB group or have Bump Gods watching. I consider FB much like a PM...If the person wanted to share it on the board they would and should do it themself.

    EDIT to remove info.
    @CandEChicago and @Slaps, I've fixed the original post.

    I removed her name and the other identifying factor. 

    Edit:  However there are subsequent posters who also released some of the info and people who have now tagged her in their responses.

    I desperately need one for DH. I don't iron because I'm generally lazy and my clothes are hung and don't get wrinkled. DH's get REALLY wrinkled and he'll wear them not caring. His coworkers have made mention that he needs to get his wife in line and make her iron his clothes. It aggravates the shit out of me! Jerks...
    I take offense to that... DH is perfectly capable of ironing his own clothes.   Heck, my DH irons since he thought that is "what guys do" when they are watching the football game... beer... iron. 
    Agreed!

    The second part, now that is just funny... I need to teach my DH that...
    You teach your DH and you will be also be indirectly teaching your sons.... your future in-laws will thank you.  ;)

  • PSA - Old Navy Sweater - Don't Buy

    Got these and the pink is just sheer enough that you can see the entire colored waist band from my maternity jeans.  I am wearing the teal one for the 2nd time and there is already pilling under the arms.  I am returning them both.

  • Hi all - 

    I agree candy corn is gross, but I still love it. So much. 

    Aren't there candy corn oreos now? That has got to be terrible. Or amazing!

    I'm sad about TLD. But hopeful that gradschoolmom might come back.

  • 3 hour GTT started 30 mins ago.... Is it weird that they gave me the same size drink for the 1 hr as they did the 3 hr (10oz)? Ugh, anyways, that nasty ass drink gave me a headache, heartburn, and nausea. So glad this is the last time I have to do it this pregnancy.

    That'll be here for sure. Just don't want DD's name and photo publicly searchable at this time. :) 
    I'll probably put very little info here as well. It's frightening how much info people post. I was lurking on N14 and someone had the full names, first/middle/last, of both of her twins with birth date. I'm irrationally afraid of my baby's identity getting stolen.

    That's not irrational. I think there was a story on the news only a month ago about ethical hackers that exposed how easy it is to get information like SSNs of minors. I definitely think anyone who includes last names on an Internet forum like this is crazy or just really uninformed about internet security.

    Here's a stupid random question... Wedding for H's stepbrother is this weekend and my girls are flower girls... Their dresses have layers of fluffy tulle and they're still looking a little 'wrinkly' from being shipped in a freaking plastic bag (thanks Davids Bridal) despite being hung & periodically fluffed for the last 4 weeks. What's the best way to get them to look right? I don't have a streamer... I am headed to the dry-cleaner shortly with H's suit... Could they do something there? (I know nothing of formalwear, I wear jeans every day and refuse to buy things that are dry clean only. Someone who knows something about something, please help!)



    Picture won't load.   This is the dress if that helps:   https://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_tiered-tea-length-tulle-dress-wg1253
    Don't known if anyone answered this, just woke up,
    But hang them in the bathroom while you have a hot shower, the steam from the shower should get the wrinkles to drop out.
    I swear we run on the same wave length @slaps this was my exact response to her as well :)

  • I don't iron or mop.  The ironing I leave to the drycleaners who put light starch in my shirts.  Other than that, I embrace the wrinkles.

    You're so sweet, haha! I mean...I would of course take the job, however I'm sure that there are others here that have been more deserving and participating (although I lurk like 24-7! Haha)

    I'm totally thrown off by this. This board was a big deal to her...I can't believe she's gone.

    @pieceofme - There was a good recap earlier in this thread with gifs.  I can try to locate it for you if you would like?  (Or maybe someone has beat me to it ).

    Whaaaaaaaaa I leave for a weekend bc we were hosting people who came in for my shower, and I come back and... wtf happened over here?!?! I have some serious catching up to do. Hope you all had a lovely weekend, anyway. Love, Late to the party
    OK heres the best summary for you @irish2014:

    We began with mods mysteriously disappearing Friday evening. And we were all:
    image

    Then we were invaded by Baby Center ... because those bishes were jealous of our swag. So we were all:
    image

    Then they ran away/ were banned by TLD who coudn't quit us:
    image

    Then because of the invasion and the weird creepy catfish on j14 some members GBCB and others changed their names and had their history deleted:
    image

    Then because of all the mod rebelling and such and the craziness with BumpJackie not being BumpJackie ... We now have BumpMay:

    image

    And that pretty much sums it up. Now the people who stayed have this thread and our happy again talking about randomness/symptoms/rants/etc:

    I was just talking to some friends of mine that are mods and got pretty caught up. Man, that sucks but I can't say I blame her. She has put a lot of time and effort into moderating on here and for XO to lie to all them is bullshit. I just never thought she'd leave.

  • Before anyone else goes GBCB... can we give it 24 hours or at least until we have a new mod?  
    That's what I mean when I say "I've got decisions to make...." Cruel Bump, indeed.
    No no no no! Please don't go @Hufflepuff42‌. She wasn't banninated. It was her decision. We need you and your librarian-ness.

    From what I've gathered, she wanted to take a step back totally. I'm sure she will be back, she cares for all of you guys. Sometimes, a girl just needs a little break.

  • @pieceofme There was a lot of mod disrespect going on behind the scenes, I think many were getting fed up with the crazy ambiguities and lack of support from the Powers that Be. Plus the whole BumpJackie thing, which I'm sure the higher ups feel is rectified by making the account BumpMay. I doubt anyone will ever feel theres a singular real person behind that account again.

    There were also issues with the 3 hours a week thing, it takes a lot more time than that to mod the boards the way they need.
