  • I'm not understanding why it's such a big deal to throw your own shower. Maybe you greedy chicks only throw showers for gifts but us humble folk are trying to share our excitement about a blessing that is coming into this world. It's not all about gifts. Besides you never get what you really need anyways. Grow up, it's 2015. Women are having and raising babies on their own these days.
  • We're paying for it but we're letting my MIL && SIL do the decorations.
  • thats it i refuse to bump with a woman who is bragging about all the cake and fruit she has...you know thats real immature!!!! ....

    Well, what're you gnna do about it? I AINT LEAVING  \:D/

    Your DH better be picking you up some cake soon though, no reminders?! Not acceptable.

  • I feel like the woman on here tend to attack each other. I don't comment for this exact reason.

    I mean simply look at the post above.

    You woman and your cake enjoy yourselves.

    None of these woman are going to give a dang after the baby comes.

    This is all irrelevant and now just a damn waste of our time!
  • I'm done wasting my time. Having this discussion.

    Can I ask though how old the general age group of this thread is?

    Maybe it's because I prefer pie over cake.
  • Once again, I was not referring to anyone. Sorry if the cake eaters took it that way. Honestly, I was referring to the tacky and greedy comments. Then was put on for the cake... Everyone has opinions.

    :) good night ladies
  • Okay, who can find the strangest gif? And GO!

    OMG!!! I just laughed so hard my dogs started whining and one of them jumped on my lap and started whimpering in my face in a very concerned fashion. 

    Tears. So. Many. Tears. 
    =)=)) ^:)^

    edit: words are hard when laughing hysterically

    @leighann1 My hubby is a total tech nerd, hardcore, and he isn't an Apple fan at all. I'd try to explain why but I don't understand a single word of tech babble that comes out of his mouth.
  • I wasn't sure about this either since my family is in another state I decided to wait to see if any of my friends mentioned it. One did thankfully so I have been working with her toplan it. We decided a co-ed diaper party would be better than an actual shower because I am quite a few hand me downs..

    @MelMel92 "I could actually go on a tangent about why macs arent worth their pricetag, but I'll keep my nerd-pants hanging in the closet. God knows I dont fit into them anymore with this belly in the way anyways.  X_X"

    Hashtag work perk.

    And I'm not wearing any pants at the moment, nerdy or otherwise. I'm scared to pick out my clothes for work tomorrow because I swear I grew over the weekend.
  • @Leighann1 It likely depends on the type of nerd. While in college for programming, we had to use macs on some days because that's what was in the classrooms. They most definitely are a pain in the ass to code on compared to a windows pc. I'm no windows fangirl either though, and the only reason I run it is because Linux isnt supported by most things. As soon as gaming on Linux makes more headway, its byebye windows for sure. 
    Now, while apple used to be very innovative back in the day, in current times they dont actually innovate anything and charge way too much for an inferior product. You pay for the brand plain and simple, and the OS, while clean, isnt as widely supported by a long shot. Which by the way is also why it doesnt have many virus issues: its just not worthwile to create a malicious program because of how little its used in the grand scheme of things (businesses being the big one in that department). 
    My pc is home built, and cost around $1500 (DH splurged on the pc instead of an expensive ring for our engagement, we're weird people). It is far superior to anything that mac has to offer, for a fraction of the price. Now, why would any computer-nerd rave about a device that costs too much, isnt easy to fix (if a part breaks you'll find it's real difficult to replace in a macintosh), and underperforms?

    Their big thing used to be that they were ahead in the game for creative purposes, but those days are long gone as well. They're still used a lot in that industry because it's become a standard, rather than them actually still being better in that department.  

    Also, darn you, I SAID ID LET THEM HANG IN THE CLOSET. LOOK AT ME NOW. =))
