My internal 'hunger clock' is so off. I have been working on classroom stuff all day on the computer. I looked up and saw that it was already 3:00 and all I had eaten for the whole day was a grapefruit. Not once did my body say "Hey, feed me!!" Feeling like a terrible mother already that is starving her baby. Wish my appetite would just come back.

I just had my first true pregnancy brain moment. After being transferred 3 times, disconnected and finally getting through to a phone rep I was asked what my SSN was and for the life of me could NOT remember the middle two digits. I must have tried to tell this person the number 3 times, tried to write it down and out of frustration hung up and went and watched tv.

If that had been me, I'd be adding my story to the "What made you cry today" thread.  Oy!  I had that moment a few weeks ago when I was trying to reset my bank password and I had to call in and had to reset it WHILE ON THE PHONE.  I swear it took me so long to think of a password that would be close to working.

Is there someway to pin this discussion to the top of the list? I feel like less and less people are using it as it gets pushed to older pages. 

There are 9 new posts today asking questions that have been answered 12198420935 times.

I think newer people will jump into a daily thread more readily than a 9 page+ behemoth. There needs to be a daily thing for questions and symptoms.

fwtx5815

Bc those are the ones who are starting new posts about things that have already been talked about a bajillion times. I'm sure we'll always have some newbs joining from time to time and starting new threads w/out reading the pinned post, but I think it could at least cut down on that type of thing.

JLaVO888

@fwtx5815 I would love to think that is true! But acleanlife started a new randoms/rants thread today and we still had millions of new repetitive discussions created. I think we are just going to have to deal with it until we are well into 2nd trimester and all the people that want to join, have joined. 

Maybe this can be our secret snark board since most of the newbies don't know about it....

If we change the name of this discussion to "random brown spotting"...We are sure to have no newbie sneek in on our snark. Great undercover name haha.

Voting on my favorite of the day.... "Can twins be overlooked?"

fwtx5815

@JLaVO888 except I don't think the title "rants and randoms" is a clear signal for newbies that that's what it's for.

JLaVO888

But I guess if we did label it "Share your symptoms/questions here" that it may work. @fwtx5815 You may be on to something. 

Then we only have to avoid one thread a day if we are not interested rather than 10.

I'm an advice giver, but only if people approach me first. I won't give

Also, it's one thing to ask a question that's a little.. off the wall, but not listening when people give you answers is a whole other level of annoying. #GIRLBYE

@blueeyedrose86 Your siggy cracks me up while simultanioulsy grossing me out. Its one of those 'you don't want to look, but you can't look away' moments. 

blueeyedrose86

Haha, thanks! I'm mostly mobile, so I don't even have to look at it often. Muahahaha!

My least favorites are also ones asking for relationship advise. I know we all have our ups and downs with our SO's but I am not a marriage counselor. I feel like any advise I would give, is advise they probably do not want to hear...Yet they still ask.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one getting annoyed by all the newbs asking the same questions over and over. I LOVE the idea that this is our own snark thread \:D/

Stormiewinter

It is 1040 pm and the baby is starving! Like I have serious hunger pangs! I would give almost anything for a burrito from chipotle right now!

Tell him it is no time for cleansing. He needs to be fed well so he can be the strong mule/ox of the family.

My compter is dumb..it posted that last one twice.  Also there are two more threads just started. If one more person starts a new discussion about being tired I  am going to...

skruhmin

It's like they don't go on the bump for community, just whining.

And now he's doing laundry, meanwhile I'm having second dinner of pizza. I did marry a good one.

Had to run a couple of errands right before bed so I threw DS in his 'big 'brother' shirt figuring we would be gone 5 minutes and would run into no one. Wrongo. Pretty much saw everyone in the building upon returning and now everyone knows. Oh well...

allstarangel

Everytime im "supposed" to be sleeping im on this app either catching up on my tator tott or going threw posts...

bntfroggie

Okay why are people posting from other BMBS I mean do they reallY not have a life that they can catch up on all the BMBs. I mean don't get my wrong if it was a tricky subject nut to post on the 20th I'm nauseous is there anything I can do thread. I think it's handled. Also it hit a sore spot because they are from my old BMB. Ugh Rant Over!

smushi

Most newb posts = Dear Diary... I really hate the people who never return to their own threads.

Side note: I totally made tator tots for dinner last night

I have my first U/S tomorrow so naturally today is going to go by at a snail's pace. Already is since I have been up for 5 hours because my lovely bladder decided to wake me up at 4AM and my brain decided I didn't need to go back to sleep.

 

skruhmin

@flowerpower5838 I love you for your thread.  I wonder if others will follow suit.

Stormiewinter

I think we have made a potty training break through! Ds has not had an accident in 2 days! You know you come from a sports family when you potty train your child be telling them it's a tournament and they have to go on the potty all day to win lol.

flowerpower5838

skruhmin I feel like it's a long shot since so many of them seem like drive-by posters, but I figured it couldn't hurt? I am so sick of having to search through 4 "I'm Tired," 3 "Spotting...is this normal???" and 45457 "I feel sick" posts a day to get to legit threads that I'd like to see.

skruhmin

You forgot about the 4728947289 facebook group threads

skruhmin

How do you mark a thread "Answered"?
