SAFE PLACE Blanket Fort

renegadewhit

Today has been a rough day on TTCAL. I bring to you a safe space - no ignorance, no hurtful posts, no triggers allowed. Just pretty blanket forts:

All the wine:

And funny cat gifs:

Feel free to bring whatever you're drinking, whatever makes you laugh, or anything else you'd like to share tonight. 

ETA Gif Fail

@sterling13 along those lines, if you forgot to use your head and end up hurting someone, apologize, mean it, and move on. This group can be pretty forgiving of honest mistakes.

I'll bring some hard stuff

And some cookies!

And just because, some egg nog.


And all the ma'fuckin hugs!!!!

*swan dives in* I've got cake balls sitting on my counter that I'll share. Ahh, the fun you can have with leftovers.

Menrandes

I'm bringing in some eggnog

Chocolate chip cookies (gluten free and delicious for me!)

And cheesey pizza (also gluten free...but still..delicious!!!)


Definitely need this safe space today.  I came on this morning and then pretty much avoided the board all day because I just couldn't handle it.  I hated that feeling of not feeling comfortable here.

And for good measure...
And nice soft silky edged blanket. Because I love silky edged blankets

I'll bring the entertainment.

This cracks me up because whenever my family is having an event, everyone will sign up to bring stuff. For example:

Mom: I'll bring the turkey

Grandma: I'll bring potatoes

Aunt: I'll bring appetizers

I always always always say "I'll bring the entertainment". I wonder what they'd say if this is what I brought

Renegade sends her kitty snuggles.

Ladies, I may be late to the Blanket Fort, but I am sending so many ((hugs)) to those of you how went through the hell on the boards or other shitty shit today. 

I am bringing TEQUILA!! (I suck at technology so no pic).

Im mobile for a few days so I've just got hugs ladies! ((Hugs)) >:D<

I can't believe I have been bumping ALL day! I've hardly gotten out of bed. One of those days. Just learning so much about TTCAL that I can't look away.

So I'll bring some Jack and a tiny puppy eating my nose. And try to get to know you ladies a little better. Maybe I'll finally be up for an intro tomorrow... For now, I'm just a stranger needing a drink!

I'm late but can I spend today in the blanket fort?! What in the fresh hell is going on around these parts!! I've cried on the way to work the last two mornings because of triggers, but to come on here and see some of the threads....wow. Spiked coffee anyone??

I'm sorry you're dealing with triggers, especially when this board is supposed to be our safe place. Feel free to drink in the fort all day. I'll join you as soon as I get off work!

Ok, I just got off work and was catching up on TTCAL and WTF is going on?!  Very much in need of a safe place right now.  CD1 after a BFFN for IUI #1, now going to go drown my sorrows in wine.  

renegadewhit

Indeed. Let's bring this back tonight. I'm exhausted and could use a blanket fort tonight. Do blanket forts have fireplaces? Curling up with some wine next to a fireplace sounds lovely right now...

ETA: because this is me right now

LittleMrsW

Guise, I'm coming in here tonight!!!

catvaughn5002

I want to jump in! These last few posts killed my margarita buzz

Can I come hide in here?

You didn't deserve any of that, and you're my hero for being so patient and nice. You can be the blanket fort queen tonight. All the wine to you. 

Menrandes

Yay...a safe corner in what is supposed to be a safe community.

renegadewhit

Is this still happening? I'm trying to look away, but I just keep going back to it...

LittleMrsW

Thank you. I tried. Really, really hard. But even my patience has its limits. Cheers! Wine VODKA for everyone! 

FTFY. We're going to need something much stronger to deal with this bullshit.

Okay, color me stupid. What is FTFY?? 

Agreed. Wine is not going to cut it. Vodka, rum, whatever your poison, bring it on.

Any other whiskey drinkers? I may be switching back shortly...

ETA Pic Fail x2

Good grief. Duh. I am so bad at internet acronyms.

That's ok. When I first got here, I thought it meant "fuck that fuck you". Lol!

I didn't know either..what I was thinking didn't work in context. 

Menrandes

Rum here!

Great minds think alike!

@catvaugn5002 thanks! I love the gifs!

@menrandes do you mix your rum or drink it straight?  

renegadewhit

@petrastonegirl what are you drinking? Whatever it is, this blanket fort has it in stock!

Menrandes

@whitneyandconcep usually straight, but lately I've been mixing it with so delicious coconut milk egg nog. 

catvaughn5002

Well ladies, I'm calling it a night and bringing lots of SNUGGLES to this blanket fort. I'm so glad I have found this awesome group. All the feels :x Work comes early in the morning.

renegadewhit

@menrandes I can't tell if that sounds delicious or disgusting. I've never liked eggnog, but because of the calorie count, I've decided not to try. DH and I drink our fair share of rum (nom)

@PetraStonegirl Have we told you lately how much we love you? Your job here surely isn't an easy one.

This. 1000%

And also

@whitneyandconcep‌ CHEERS!
