FFFC

Alright ladies, let's have them. And let's have real ones. Back like the good old days when they were really flame worthy!
What do you have to confess?

sarah0985

I'll start us off. 
When I was younger and dating a different guy from my now H, I suspected him of cheating and pretty much knew he was. I was in a really bad place mentally when I found a hotel key in his room. So I played some detective work and went to the hotel room in the middle of the night. I knew no one was in but snuck in and confirmed he had things of his there.  I didn't touch any of the stuff. The real flame worthy part? Broke up with him but then still tried to make it work for 3 more years.  
Flame-away! Crazy me has been retired for quite some time but I'll break her out if I ever need to.

Mine involves Ex H.
Highschool sweethearts, together a total of 12 years (married for the last 2)
After getting married started TTC, no luck, diagnosed with PCOS blah blah blah.
Too much for him to handle so he had an affair since I "couldnt have kids" with a woman who has a teenager.

We still keep in touch (we worked together a long time, even during/after divorce) We have come to be decent friends and get along now.

I always hated his GF for obvious reasons. Come to find out she has secondary IF. And she is going through all of the things that I am going through. He says that is what he gets for being such a horrible person towards me and all that he did (KARMA TRAIN - woo wooooo). The flame worthy part? I feel for her. I have actually shed a couple tears for her. And I kind of want to give her a hug. And I have vowed that if she is ever in need of someone to talk to who *GETS* it, I am right here.

Ugh, I'm sorry.  Also I thought you said he had an affair with a woman who WAS a teenager and I was about to be like "That's a kid, not a woman".

Mine isn't too flame worthy, but I love celebrity gossip.  Like I read ONTD every day and know way too much about celebrities that I don't even really follow.  My life is so nice and drama free these days* I guess I'm just looking for secondhand excitement! (*humblebrag)

kelseyrayay

I forgot to brush my teeth this morning.

GrabberBlue2010

@housewifehobbyist - HA! Yeah that would have been awful. LOL at celebrity gossip. And "humblebrag". Sometimes getting into the juicy drama of others gives us our drama free life fix

@kelseyrayay - LOL

I can't stop looking at maternity clothes. I want to be able to buy them so badly. Some of them are so cute (although this is when I'm viewing them on the models and likely not what I will (hopefully) end up looking like one day). I can't even wait to buy the stupid basic tank tops with ruching on the side and nursing bras and new leggings. Ugh. 



@GrabberBlue2010 that just means you're a good person!

@housewifehobbyist don't feel bad about the celebrity gossip, my FFFC is that I will watch any of the housewives shows on Bravo. For the same reason as you said though! My life is no where near as dramatic and intense as theirs! It's entertaining and reminds me that compared to them, I have all my ish together. I always justify it to my husband that it's like a train wreck and I just can't look away.

@kelseyrayay I keep deodorant in my desk at work because of the amount of times I have forgotten to apply it before leaving the house.

KristoKekerooni

I'm sorry, but ya'll are gonna kill me for this. 
I might as well be the most un-american American there ever was. 
-I hate hot dogs
-I reallllly hate pizza
-I hate most hamburgers
-I hate beer. 
-I am not a fan of Nutella
-I hate Ketchup and mustard
-I don't know if I am Democrat or Republican anymore (and not just because of the presidential candidate, I stand on opposite ends with different issues)
-I think college sports shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is.

KristoKekerooni

@GrabberBlue2010 - That was a really horrible thing for him to do, but I am glad you guys have worked past it. Good for you for showing her compassion and being there for her. You're awesome. 

@hartmich - I totally feel you on that one! I do the same. I mentioned this on a FFFC a while ago, but I also stick my stomach out as far as I can and look in the mirror to see if what I am wearing would be a good pregnancy outfit. I do that daily. *shrug*

GrabberBlue2010

@KristoB - totes with you on the beer, politics and sports. Check check aaaaaand check!
Yeah it sucked then. But that is one thing I feel the saying "everything happens for a reason" is legit and well said. If it never happened, I would have remained miserable and would have never met my incredible 100% loving and supportive DH.

linzrunz

I have so many good FFFC during the week and I think to myself Oooo that's a good one. Save that ish for Friday! Now that Friday is here... I can't think of any of them. 

hartmich

@KristoB Okay now I'm going to be trying that too (sticking the stomach out). Thanks for sharing your crazy so I can copy it!

PepperAT

This is the current status of emails on my phone. It has become a beast that I can't handle anymore. DH caught a glimpse this morning and got mad. He just wants me to delete them, since it's mostly junk but I just can't be bothered. 

linzrunz

@PepperAT I have over 7,600 between four different email addresses. I'm with you! H gets on me to go in and delete them and I'm all meh.... I'm also that way with voicemails. 90% of the time... It's full. 

sarah0985

your post gives me serious anxiety @PepperAT

kelseyrayay

@KristoB does anyone know what party they belong to anymore? I know I don't.

@PepperAT and @linzrunz I agree with @sarah0985!!  I'm having trouble breathing over here!  The anxiety from those emails is REAL!

KirstinH88

Omg @pepperAT! I have to have no notification bubbles on my phone. If I see a red dot on any app (even one I don't normally use that often) I have to go in and clear it out!

KristoKekerooni

@hartmich Hahaha, sorry to add to the crazy! but hey, on the bright side, I know exactly what clothes will still work, and which I need to retire during pregnancy! (but between us, I'm still totally going shopping!)
@kelseyrayay I've been hearing more and more that people are switching to independent. It sounds pretty good right now. Thank God in my state we don't have to declare and can vote for any party because I don't know what the F I am doing anymore.

 @sarah0985 and @beary67 I know, I'm sorry, I have a real problem over here. I just can't bring myself to delete them! lol I just try not to look at them anymore and pretend that part of my screen doesn't exist.

@PepperAT @linzrunz THE HORROR!!!! 

KristoKekerooni

Here's another: 
I use 3 different apps to track my fertility/period stuff. They all have things I like, but none of them have it all! It's a pain in the butt to update all three, but I do it.

@PepperAT- I'm so much worse. In fairness I've had gmail since it was invite only in 2005.

@Megzb510
 

That's when i would just delete my account!

PepperAT

 @Megzb510 O-M-G!!  I agree with @jatwal128 If I get to that point, I would probably just shut her down! lol That is so funny!!

STUCK IN THE BOX!!!

I feel so much better about my own.

FFFC: I consider myself to be pretty savvy at budgeting and being very reasonable about spending, always looking for sales etc. But I spend a stupid amount of money on my hair every ten weeks and have an absurd makeup hoarding problem. I am mostly in control of our money because my husband trusts me with it. I will call him out for spending $100 ordering protein/supplements, while little does he know I spent $200+ at Sephora during their 20% off sale.... At times I feel like a horrible wife, but I figure I could have much worse problems. And it's really my only spending vice. See, still making excuses! Thank god I'm not clothes/shoes obsessed, we'd be in trouble!

My FFFC is one I've been meaning to do since right after Prince died and I keep missing FFFC or forgetting so here it goes: I seriously side-eye people who grieve a celebrity death like someone they were close with (friend/ family member/significant other/that type thing) died. Yes please tell me more about how Prince's death hit you as hard as my grandfather's death hit me. 


Like my husband was so incredibly upset for weeks after Robin Williams died. He acted like a family member had died. **TW: loss** He was seriously more upset and for longer over Robin Williams than he was over most of our losses. WTF husband? **TW: end. It's safe now!**



Also, on a semi related FFFC: I seriously side-eye people who get incredibly emotional over one random act of violence like the singer from The Voice who got shot at her concert but then turn a blind eye to all the other violence. Oh really it's heartbreaking that she got killed but it's totally fine that people just like her (only, ya know, less famous and/or beautiful, young and white) get killed every single day in America. Why is that one particular thing keeping you so upset that you're bringing it up every 20 minutes but you couldn't care less about the other senseless violence? Nope.

I totally understand the people who are equally upset by all news of people getting hurt/killed. Like my grandmother who can't really watch the news anymore because it just upsets her too much. And I can even understand the people who don't really get upset over any of it. They didn't know any of the people and none of it has any direct affect on their life. But I really don't get the people who get upset over the pretty young white girl getting shot and then are like "Oh 4 poor children got shot downtown the same day? Eh well things happen." And I'd ever sorta, kinda, a little bit be able to understand if the person in question was a huge fan of The Voice (in this particular instance). But like, most of the people I know who keep talking about it every 20 minutes never watched the voice. They didn't know the girl existed till the news broke that she'd been killed. And then it's like a friend died? Just weird.

@Megzb510 and @PepperAT That just gave me serious anxiety.  DH is the same way, I can't deal.  

I actually said the sentence "Get off the bed, dog, momma wants the D" this week.  Out loud, to our dog, in front of DH.  At least it worked, D was obtained.

Can't you go in on the computer (because doing it on mobile would take for-freaking-ever) and mark them all read?!  You won't lose them.  With that many unread you can't tell what is important anymore (why I leave stuff unread).

ETA - @linzrunz you too!! 

Totally anxiety inducing for me too!!

MrsBinPA

My FFFC is that I hate going to the shore.  H's parents have a summer house.  We have to go today and I am dreading it.   Sand up your ass sucks & I will for sure get sunburned despite my best efforts with sunblock.  Their house isn't comfy so my weekend will be uber unrelaxing....sigh.  I wish I had an excuse not to go but his brother is in town with his family so we can't get out of it this week.

Dilynne

I can't justify spending money on things we actually need like new carpet, but I just spent 200 bucks surprising H with floor seats to Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach.

Aurora1973

Oh you guys, my emails are even worse.  I'm ashamed to even screenshot it for you...and I don't want anyone having a panic attack either.  Anything that is important or needs action gets forwarded to my work account...the rest is mostly junk mail and I'm too lazy to deal with it.  It makes OH twitch, which I get a level of twisted amusement from.

linzrunz

Basically what this FFFC is telling us is...

MelissaM090

Most weeks I make baked chicken breasts in a foil lined dish. Seasoned chicken, some sort of sauce spread over them and topped with shredded cheese and baked.

After dinner when I'm cleaning up and DH is washing dishes with his back to me, I sit there and pick all the melted crispy cheese from the foil and eat it.

He has no idea.

KirstinH88

@linzrunz I'm the one on the left!

@MelissaM090 That is my favorite part! and I have no shame!

meilay

@Megzb510 I passed out for a quick second after seeing that. 

linzrunz

I REMEMBERED ONE!!

I finally discovered the gif keyboard app. I now include on in every response to DH. I cannot be stopped!
