I'm also a tattooed mom! I have 7, mostly on my arms and two on my back. I DGAF if people judge me for having tattoos and being a mom. Suck it.

Wow, what a day. I feel like I missed so many fun conversations.

#1 @KaraEpp16 I am one of the weight strugglers too! I wish I could tell you why it's so hard to let go. I think it has something to do with control, after all that's the core of most eating disorders. But I fully agree that we need to love our bodies and embrace this amazing process, and that is exactly what I'm trying to do. I have good days and bad days, but I do think I'm starting to finally appreciate it and have noticed myself not obsessing over the weight.

#2 I am also a tattooed mama. 2 of them I wish I could change or take back, because she has changed me. The first is a butterfly on my inner ankle, the 18th birthday, because I can. It's fading and I'd like to make it better. One on my "tramp stamp" spot because I lost 50lbs and was proud of my body, I just hate the location. And my 3rd I love. The Corinthians "love is patient" quote across my right ribcage.

#3 Welcome @RepeatPostPolice our board has seemed like it was missing something, but now it just seems complete! Remember, you do not need to create new threads, for guessing baby gender, posting u/s or random daily symptoms... We have existing posts for those!

@nickicb7 you are the 1000th post!!

nickicb7

.... I'd like to thank the academy, and TB for giving me this special opportunity!!

Seriously?!  I followed that whole thread...I don't see how that's even possible!!

KaraEpp16

Because of the first thing I posted about the thread disgusting me.

Welp, it did.

RepeatPostPolice

Some SS probably got their feelings hurt. That seems to be the usual reason.

What thread was this? I must have missed it

indibidule

Which thread? I totally missed this somehow.

KaraEpp16

the stupid girls on the nervous between appts thread.

I can post it again here since they sent it to me in a fuggin message. HAHAHA.

indibidule

If you want to send it in a pm to me that's fine, but I read that entire thread just now and I'm not sure what you could have possibly said that was so much different than other people to have been reported.

I was a little more aggressive.

Snoopylovesbelle

That thread was ridiculous! I can't believe you got a warning @KaraEpp16.
The sad thing is there will probably be more just like that

Paige6410

I can't believe you got reported for that. You weren't even mean, just honest.

I'm tattooed and pierced as well. I was drawing up a new one when I got PG... Guess that is going put on hold for a while...

KaraEpp16

Whatever with the warnings.

Edit to add:

I just makes me feel like I shouldn't bite my tongue.

indibidule

I'm a ftm, first pregnancy, no previous losses (that I'm aware of). I worry. I get it, but not to the extent those girls take it. And I know enough about the heartbreak of loss (close friends and family have gone through miscarriage) and the difficulties and complications that can come up during pregnancy, to not take my "easy" pregnancy for granted. Holy shit entitled people. Wanting what other people have without knowing what they have to go through to have that. What you think is a luxury, some people would give their left eye to not have. Take what you have and be happy about it!

OK, rant over.

KaraEpp16

RepeatPostPolice

I know "someone" who got a warning for suggesting an OP look in another thread for their answer rather than start a whole new thread on the topic.
The SSs here are ridiculous.

Snoopylovesbelle

I was mad about all the whining last night
And the chick never came back to answer what she meant by the board is "political"

I really really really don't want to go to work today. That is all.

I want a strawberry margarita. This heatwave can suck it.
I picked up DH from Logan at midnight last night and Boston was still 85. At midnight!!

Grosssss. I'm going to Logan next week. Supppper early in the morning. I'm worried my brother is going to forget about me and SO will have to drive me anyway.

It's gross here in Ontario too! I overheated to the point of nausea and lightheadedness three times yesterday!

It's too early to process all the specialness coming from the special snowflake.

nickicb7

Ugh @KaraEpp16 I just read the feed, got angry, wrote a reply, then deleted it because, really you guys said it all! I think you were fair.

From an non-PGAL perspective what drives me wacko is as a person with an anxiety disorder, I can freak out about things very easily. I have had a very low key pregnancy, very few symptoms, and still don't feel much of anything to believe there is a baby there. But the Dr confirmed my pregnancy, the midwife found the heartbeat, so I trust the process. If I let myself freak out about the absence of symptoms, I'd probably cause myself a breakdown. I just don't understand why people can't just sit back and relax. And why everyone has to make such a big deal about waiting for apts, and wanting more U/S's

End rant.

I was a little aggressive in my first post. I admit it but it just bothers me. I get the whole anxiety thing but it just seemed like they were talking about it like a game. Like they were supposed to be saying those things or they aren't good moms. It was just annoying. From the first time I saw the thread it irked me and I ignored it. Then, I finally read through it and I was like wtf.

I can't believe I missed a gif party last night!!

Better late than never??

I wanted to share this awesome recipe that I did this week for mashed potatoes in the crock pot. It is the easiest and best recipe I have ever used for mashed potatoes. DH has already asked me to make it again multiple times. It only takes 2-3 hours on high, and is really good for carb cravings!

Omg. Seriously??

I envy my daughter who won't have to read Chinese gender prediction posts because she will be able to POAS AND find out the sex at the same time.

KaraEpp16

Seriously, with the UO thread. I'm so upset that two kids I went to school with died this week because of heroin. They aren't the first and they won't be the last.

People may be like oh well junkies are useless but the truth is those kids were someone before they were junkies. Being a junkie makes you a living corpse - a shell of what you were.

I'm thankful I'm no longer in the area - but I can see little glimpses of it moving towards the seacoast and it makes me want to move to the woods.

Heroine is taking over where my husband grew up. I know so many people I went to school with who have died or are on their way because of drugs

RepeatPostPolice

I'm sorry @KaraEpp16 that is really sad.

Paige6410

I hate the "Well they are just junkie losers" line. How about all of the doctors writing unnecessary prescriptions that get people hooked and then go out for the cheaper fix because they are sick as a dog without it? What about the kids that were abused, sexually or otherwise, and we're seeking an out? What about the people who self medicate because they are bipolar or depressed or have other mental health problems?
I'm sorry about your goner classmates, it's a sad, sad thing.
