Dreams

HanshawLove

Let me say this, I didn't intend for this to be racist no I am not racist, I was quite literally quoting my friend at work on that particularly called it an "old black wives tale" it was not my own words, in fact I had never heard about it prior to him telling me this, and I'm more than sure he specified it like that because he's half black, so I'm sorry for anyone that I offended it wasn't my intention

@HanshawLove there is SO much more wrong with this post than just the "old black wives tale" comment...

I had that dream too! Swimming fish and then there were pickles dipped in ice cream and then I stood up and was totes preggo! Omg you're KTFU!


Nah, just kidding. The only time I've dreamt about pickles was after watching my brother drink the juice left in the jar.
I was also 10. And obviously not KU.

Now I want a pickleback.  And it's still before noon on a Monday. Damn this is going to be a long week.

Guys, listen. It's a valid question. No, OP you aren't KU. Let me explain the dreams. 
Obviously we will start with the pickles and ice cream. If you are eating pickles and ice cream, you think you are KU.  Clearly, you need to tell your parents. Dads like to fish. So you try to tell him on a fishing trip. So when you are fishing, you are out in nature. Nature has deer. So you see a deer after eating pickles. 
What do you get when you cross a deer with a pickle?? A dilldoe! Get it?  (dildo?) Obviously a dildo can't get you pregnant, so it was just an elaborate dream to tell you you aren't KU. This is the kicker, you just found out you aren't pregnant, which means you'll get your period, which means you'll soon be eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's wallowing in self-pity. It all circles back to an empty uterus.

Edit because words.

@babymish - Tell me about it. I just had a classmate last week tell me she drinks pickle juice from every jar that enters her parents' house. I about threw up.
It's basically vinegar. How?!

@KristoB - I think you win this thread...

Ok first off I already apologized for whom I may have offended, but myself personally I listen to old wives tales and tall tales because over the course of my life they've always rung true, so yes I went back and read and realized how for starters how wrongly written it was as well as I know people think I'm completely crazy, and honestly my dream all I remember from my dream was screaming "put the pickles on the ice and it will keep the ice cream cold" now I'm not saying that mine really has any correlation, but for my closest friends who one isn't always around me, and two tells me he doesn't really dream often and if he does he doesn't remember them very vividly, I wasn't looking to offend or upset anyone I was asking a genuine question on my part, because sometimes these tall tales can be accurate.

.....that was a REALLY long sentence.

Breathe, girl.

HanshawLove

Also @KristoB I don't live with my parents so obviously there's no need for me to tell them, second, I'm no where near my next period, that isn't coming for another 10 days, if it comes at all anyway. So I don't appreciate the rude comments within your whole statement, the self pity thing? Okay so if I get a BFN I'm not going to drown myself in sadness over it, it just means I get to try again next month. And the dildo thing? I love how you almost automatically dismissed the likelihood that I have a partner and in that sense that there's no chance.

Nope.  Tall Tales aren't "accurate" they are by definition anecdotes and stories.  Yes by chance sometimes they coincide with something that happens when they say it's going to happen, but that's just dumb luck not science.  Here on The Bump dot com we like science and his dream or yours aren't scientifically sound.



If you'd like to try science pee on something, if it's positive just move along to your BMB cause honestly I think I speak for everyone here when I say:



Also if it's negative and you want to learn about the scientific methods we do use here to try and conceive jump on our normal threads.  Almost no one here is special enough to deserve their own threads.

Oh and lurk more.



K. Bye.

I'm not sure if it's stranger that she drinks pickle juice from every jar that enters her parent's house or that she told you that. How does that even come up in conversation?

So first post...no lurking, assuming no rule reviewing....
We would know these ^^^ things if we knew you...
and this thread would, unfortunately, still take heat for it's utter hilarity and lack of appropriate application.
*And no where near af = too early for anything.
Done here, unless it involves lurking for more funny gifs..

Okay, I know psychology may not be recognized as "science", but I just wanted to leave these here.
 
And if that doesn't make sense, here's a Venn diagram to simplify it for you.

I don't even remember, to be honest? I don't remember most of this semester but it was so gross that I remember that particular conversation..

OH. One of her friends' roommate always has a jar of pickles under her bed and someone spoke up about how gross pickles are and she came out with her love for the juice. I remember now. I think they were talking about odd things their roommates do.

KristoKekerooni

Listen, lady @HanshawLove . What are you even saying? I'm gonna break this down for you.
Number 1. I didn't assume you lived with your parents. It's just sort of a common thing to do if you're KU. Don't most people tell their parents when they are pregnant? It's kind of a big deal. 
Number 2. You are 10 days out from your period, average luteal phase is 14 days, so your about 4 days past ovulation? Wow. Yep, you are totally already experiencing symptoms. Even though if you were going to get pregnant this cycle you probably aren't even implanted yet so it's impossible. But okay. 
Number 3. I wasn't rude. I was sarcastic. Big difference. 
Number 4. The self-pitying thing was not a joke. Not really. Every single one of us will tell you how we wallow a bit on CD1. Everyone of us has been disappointed when it didn't happen. I'm going to tell you a bit about myself since you haven't been here long enough to know me. Careful, there are triggers. So I have been trying since September of 2014. The first 6 months were hard because I thought given the way they describe it in HS health class, it's an immediate thing. And it wasn't for me and I was sad and cried at every CD1. Yes. I wallowed with my pint of Ben & Jerry's. And then I got KU on month 8! So exciting right?!!? And then I miscarried. And then I got pregnant again like 2 months later! And then I miscarried. And then again same story 2 months after that. So when I say wallow in self pity, I mean it. It's not a joke. TTC is super fucking hard. Not a single soul on this board will judge you if you say "CD1 came and I ate a large pizza and a pint of ice cream all by myself and then cried myself to sleep." Been there, done that, boo.
Number 5. Clearly if you are totally cool with it not happening this month you are either severely well adjusted and I don't believe it for a second, or you haven't been trying for long enough to feel the pain. 
Number 6. I never assumed you didn't have a partner. I was making a joke and trying to tie the pickles and fish together. I am hoping that you are smart enough to realize if you don't have a partner you are having intercourse with you wouldn't have assumed you were pregnant. I just was making a joke. 

Number 7. This is the important one. NO ONE HERE KNOWS YOU. You come in here expecting us to be sunshine and rainbows and tell you are totes knocked the f up because of dreams! gimme a break. You are going to get laughed at a bit. Now how about you take a chill pill, sit back and relax. Learn to laugh at yourself. We all do it here. But we all also follow the rules here. Lurk. See what kind of good people come to this forum for solace and support. Honestly? we also come for a good laugh at people who post things like this. Now you have two options.  Option A is to disappear. While we never want to push someone away, and I am certainly not encouraging it, it is an option. Option B is to take a chill pill, recognize you said something silly, read the rules, and become a contributing member. 

Also, I am kind of a bitch today. #Sorrynotsorry. It's my second babies due date. So sue me.

HanshawLove

@KristoB I do know the pain of trying and trying and trying. Just like yourself I miscarried three times back to back to back, but unfortunately due to some circumstances from my past I don't let myself stay stuck on them. Because when I do it ends up extremely bad for me. Also I am sorry that happened to you. Contrary to popular belief if it doesn't happen this month will it hurt me? Will it discourage me? Yes, but I can't let myself dwell on it. 

KristoKekerooni

@HanshawLove
It's funny how after all this you now mention you've had losses. Like every other AW drive-by we've ever had. Like you want us to feel bad for you and stop flaming you. As soon as I saw it I was like

Sorry if it's true. Loss sucks. But it doesn't give you an excuse to come in and take over our board with your own thread like you are special. Again, read the rules.
You've been through all this, yet you still believe in crap like dreams? I'm a scientist. I believe in real things. 
Also, I am so over this. I'm done with this thread. OP, either go away, or learn to be a real member. 

NamelessAria

@HanshawLove I'm very sorry for your losses. MCs are such horrible soul-crushing experiences. Lots of hugs.

@KristoB I can understand why you'd be having a bad day today. I honestly don't even know how I'm going to make it through what would have been my due date with my first loss in June. I'm so sorry for your losses.

Here is an adorable raccoon hugging a cat to make the internet hugs less creepy:

Not sure if this is just misinterpreted and you didn't actually mean it this way, but I'm going to say it just in case since it's the way I read it:

I really hope you're not trying to imply that KristoB is "stuck on it" or that she's "letting herself dwell on it". There is no way you can come in here and suggest something like that and expect us to accept that and not say anything about it. 

KristoB is a member who shares parts of her life - the good and bad - with the other members here. She also shares in the lives of others - in their good and bad times too. So if anyone comes in here and says things like that, be prepared for others to stand up in support of the contributing members.

OP, when you imply @KristoB is "stuck" on her losses and "dwelling" on it you sound like a heartless human being.  Just FYI

I'm just here to confirm that @KristoB is an amazing unicorn princess who is in no way "stuck."

I don't even know how to respond to this. I really, really hope you aren't suggesting that @KristoB should stop "dwelling" on her losses. If so, that is one of the most heartless things I've ever read. That is a really messed up thing to say to someone who has experienced loss, and since you've experienced loss yourself, it seems that you should have a little more tact.

I just wanted to share this gif with everyone because I thought this post would be vastly different from the title...

HanshawLove

*sigh* I wasn't implying she is dwelling on anything, I was only stating out of my own personal view of it. I'm in no way trying to be heartless or anything of that nature, I may not be able to correctly word some things, but would never take a lash out at anyone, and outside of my initial post, all I wanted to know were everyone's thoughts on things like dreams, like that, I wasn't implying that I could be pregnant based on a dream or not, I just found it interesting and strange at the same time, so I thought I would ask people's opinions, but obviously I can see this entire post took a very drastic left turn, which mainly started out with my initial screw up with my wording and choice of words.

The lols just keep coming!

1.) Left turn? Why not right turn? I have never heard of something taking a right or left turn......

2.) "wording" and "choice of words" is the same thing....

3.) 

HanshawLove

The statement "take a left turn" is something I've used for years, goes along with the idea that after so long things going right, something goes wrong, hence "left turn" it was an old saying my aunt used to use when something started going the opposite way of how she'd hoped they were going to.

Zoey1019

You sure have a lot of sayings in your life!!!!!!!!!!!!! That must get confusing!
