Weekend Randoms 4/22

@aammyy33 You make an excellent point, I would not have enjoyed that here.

@mrsdee15 @DoctorDonna @aammyy33I just really can't understand being so full of hate towards people that you don't even know. It's just not how I would react at all. I guess I'm just amazed at how selfish people can be.

I just finished all 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls. Now I'm all like:


until the Netflix reunion happens...whatever will I watch now?!?

We are going to Top Golf with some friends tonight! I haven't swung a club since high school. I'm going to need to practice in the backyard for a bit...

I can't believe that thread. What a bitch.

canavara

WTF at that thread. I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone BRAG about their hypothetical c-section.

My curiosity got the best of me and I just lurked over there...wow.   working in the field I do...the selfishness doesn't surprise me.  I wish it did.   She's heartless.

I'm going to have to go lurk hard but...

Slow day at work got me like, lets google symptoms about butterflies in abdomen. Because I gots butterflies. Obviously this means something.

My DH, my mom, and I had a good laugh about the "does this mean I'm pregnant" too last month (in separate conversations). I was keeping it to myself at first as it was my first official TWW and I didn't want to seem BSC. But then DH caught me chuckling in the kitchen one night after making a glass of ice water and asked what happened. I told him I had finally gone off the deep end because wanting a glass of ice water when I typically only drink room temperature obviously meant I was totally pregnant. He guffawed and I was glad he didn't just give the "uh oh she's crazy" face. Then I was driving with my mom and told her about it and joked how "my fingers are itchy, I must be pregnant!" It helped make light of a confusing and anxious time emotionally.

I'm at a work party. English teachers are super fun! Two words: Jello Shots.

mrsdaddario

I did about 3 hours of yard work/power washing. 

At first I was all


Now I'm all 


Because all the pain and I couldn't find a good gif for sore arms. But I do wish DH would


Or


But instead he's all


Because this is on


So I'll just

Alright @mrsdaddario! Lol. I love gif stories! @DoctorDonna I was trying to explain to DH when he came to my job's holiday party that teachers party the hardest. He wasn't buying it. And that also just made me miss one of my favorite bars in DC that served Jell-O shots and would flash a light randomly when Jell-O shots would only be $1! 

picklesplease

@meilay - we just did Flaming Dr. Pepper shots and two of us decided to do cartwheels in the front yard of our colleague's new house. I'm finishing up my hard apple cider and will probably do another Flaming shot. It's getting a little crazy here, and I couldn't be prouder. Lol! We've got Prince blaring. Best. Night. Ever.

So, I'm a little confused.  Are BFPs not being announced in TWW anymore?  Have they just been moved to the weekly grad thread?  I avoid TWW during the first week of WTO because I'm so pissy about being in WTO again, so I couldn't really figure out what the new protocol is.

Also, @mrsdaddario, re: your gif story:

Rottiemom86

@MonaLisaRalphio there is a weekly graduation thread for BFPs now. Seems to help people who are having tough ttc days and need to avoid BFPs

and it helps them stand out so that when someone is up for seeing some BFPs, they can find them all easily and they're not burried in many days worth of TWW threads

mrsdee15

I'm so excited that this month from hell is now over!  I had stressful stuff going on every weekend for the past 4 weeks - last night was the last one!  Now the most stressful question I have is whether to get a mimosa or Bloody Mary at brunch today. 

MonaLisaRalphio

@Rottiemom86 @Buthayna right, I know that there is a grad thread. That's why I asked if BFPs had been moved to the grad thread. What I'm asking is if people are not supposed to announce BFPs in TWW anymore. 

BigBadWolf12

@MonaLisaRalphio That seems to be what has happened. I'm not sure if there was an official announcement and I don't think there is an instruction on the TWW each day saying that, but I think it's becoming the norm since it seems the ladies who have had the recent BFPs saw the UO thread (I think?) where it was suggested /reasons for moving BFPs to their own thread and it has morphed into what it is now.

Someone else might have better info (more "factual", and less "I think this is what happened") than me though!

@MonaLisaRalphio

Yep, you're on the nose.  People in WTO or benched would miss BFPs, and BFPs would essentially hijack the TWW thread with the announcement and subsequent congrats which sucked for people having a rough go of it. 

UO thread two weeks ago we seemed to come to a general consensus on what would plausibly work for the Graduation thread, where BFPs should now be announced.  There wasn't a legit announcement and nobody will get flamed if they announce in TWW (although somebody may point them to the graduation thread).

I'm probably going to do a survey & discussion this week for additional feedback (since this is kind of my thing now I guess?), since it seemed like there was some feedback in this weeks UO thread but I had to bump and dash the past few days. 

Also to clarify, there is now the Weekly Graduation thread (where BFPs are announced & congratulated) as well as the Monthly Graduate thread (where graduates come back to talk about how their pregnancies are coming along).

Just read the first tri thread. Wow.  That was nuts.. Good job @Lecool. Thanks for sticking up for us!

I kinda snapped at the MIL today.. When she asked for the 60th time If I'm pregnant. This time bc I am tired and have a headache! I'm so sick of it and having to say no and act like we aren't even trying kills me so I was just like please if I hear you ask me that one more time I'm gonna lose it and got up and walked away... I know this made her feel bad and I regret it.

Took a mini road trip yesterday with SO, successful shopping and food day We got a few things for the house at IKEA and West Elm. I got a new purse. We ate some yummy BBQ. Now, listening to Beyonce's new album all day today. 

MrsFL2015

I JUST started reading TCOYF and I can't believe I waited this long to start.  It's a game changer!  The information is great, but I love how the author preaches about Fertility Awareness being natural and safe.  I love the holistic approach and the message this gives about forgoing BC pills and such.  It's awesome!   Even if I wasn't TTC, I would read this because it gives so much great information about the female reproductive system.

I had to go lurk the first tri board after seeing everyone's comments. That was boarder line epic. I'm just sad they closed it. I have been saving this for someone and I feel like that crazy bitch earned it

Random question for the weekend... The past two days I've woken up around 3am, unintentionally, and then went back to bed until my temp alarm (5:45am due to my work week) went off. Yesterday, I just didn't think at that time so didn't take my temp. Then Today, I took it at 3am and again at 5:45am. Yesterday's 5:45 temp was 97.0. Today's 3am temp was 97.2 and 5:45 temp was 96.3. What do I believe temp-wise? 

mrsdee15

This is more of a FFFC, but I've gotten to the point in TTC where I will take an OPK, see the positive, throw it away, then open our little bathroom trash can and fish out the OPK to make sure it was actually positive.

If my MIL asked me everytime I had a headache if I was pregnant I would be in jail by now.   I get migraines a lot so it would be at least once a week I would that question.  I have a migraine now and it stinks.  

houseofsetters

You guise. I just made a double batch of paleo granola. My house smells amazing and I am feeling very much like a domestic goddess. This is my weekend win. Aside from swinging a golf club like a champ last night!

MonaLisaRalphio

Yall our power just went out for like five seconds and now the Internet and cable are down and I can hear sirens in the distance and it's only an hour and 20 minutes until GOT comes on SEND HALP. 

cabu14

@mylove071407 Right! every time I am around her I just feel like I cannot do so much as sneeze with out her asking if I'm pregnant!  Migraines are rough I hope you feel better soon.

Watching Sex Sent Me to the ER (don't judge me; who am I kidding, no one's judging me for that who knows how often I get down) and I'm so confused by people who go to the hospital to get help and then lie to the doctor! Ok you're embarrassed, ok you don't want to tell the doctor why there's a vacuum stuck on your wang or you were rolling around in some mud like a little nasty but for real, how do you expect them to help you? Half the vignette is them just trying to get the truth so they can actually do something about it! This is likely more appropriate for WTF Wednesday but I don't want to wait until then and this is still random so here we are. 

Edited for clarity

@cabu14  I'm actually feeling better now.  I took some meds, napped and had chicken wings lol.   Now I'm feeling better.

Apparently one of my friends from high school was on an episode, but for nothing quite as dumb. Her episode was called "Close But No Cigar" and was all about how she had some problem where she couldn't stop being aroused. After seeing that episode, I tried to watch some of the others and just... couldn't.

They were so dumb and awful. "I got impaled on my boyfriend's dick in the shower and blood is coming out of my vagina but like, maybe that's norma with shower sex? lol???" Or the guy who fell out of a window... naked... while cheating on his wife... and then they call his wife and he tries to make up the excuse that he was cleaning the bedroom. Naked. Right. Got it.

@canavara I actually clean the bathroom naked (maaaybe underoos if I was already dressed) because I hate the idea of bleach or bathroom gunk getting on my clothes. I stay away from windows though bahaha.

canavara

TheJerilu - haha okay that seems legit, getting bleach on your clothes is the most annoying thing. I can't remember what kind of cleaning this guy was doing but I think it just something like wiping down windows.
