Every year my MIL buys me extremely high quality, expensive jewelry and every year it's stuff that I never, ever wear except when she's around.  It's just the gaudiest stuff - HUGE and yellow gold (I only wear silver).  I have tried so many times to gently suggest that she doesn't need to go so overboard... but she just loves it.  I figure I can keep it around if we ever lose our jobs and I can sell it lol. I thought about selling it to pay for IVF but the guilt got to me.

Do it. Wouldn't she rather have a grandchild anyway?

If you post in FFFC, and it's flame worthy, expect a hot ass. It's THE POINT. I wasn't offended @ag90 but the gift regret thing has come up in the past and usually gets about the same treatment. My suggestion is have a nongift giving rule if it's a problem. Yea your confession was selfish and entitled, doesn't mean I don't have similar selfish and entitled confessions... I perhaps just don't feel like having toasty buns today.

@mschanandlerbong1214 Tomi is the reason MH and I got into an argument yesterday. Don't.like.her.at.all.

I've hit a wall with my tidying up. I'm currently the opposite of tidy -- my entire closet and drawers are on my desk and DH is coming back from his ski trip a day early ... I didn't want him to witness my mess, only my progress! Ugh. On the plus side, I have two garbage bags to donate and one to sell!

I think there is a difference between a dumb and kind of selfish thought about gifts and a terrible one like that. I know you weren't actually comparing the two but it sort of seemed like it and that's not the "really crappy" category I want be lumped in with nor do I think I deserve to

Good lord I wasn't comparing the two.  I was only pointing out that we do flame people.

ETA - and since you say that you know that I wasn't comparing the two then why even say that?

Alright, alright I admit I'm being overly sensitive and will take a page out of @JJMNO1616's book and put on my big girl pants. I accept my flaming, I can see why it'd be fun, and I guess it was bound to happen sometime. Though I don't think I want to do it myself haha. Unless it was something like the trans bathroom opinion which is just wrong and wtf. 

@LoveInDC that doll sounds effing terrifying.

@eggplantface to add to couple-Facebook related hate (sorry, I worked all day and am STILL sick, so I am not eloquent)- there's a girl I went to HS with that lies all the time about how people come up to her and her husband on the street to say what a perfect couple they are, and every status is about how perfect their relationship is. She hashtags every little thing, like "#firstmarriedsnowday". That's not a thing! 

She also constantly posts about missing her husband. Because they had to go to work. I have to work so hard not to tell her off. I don't know how much longer I can last.

@ag90 even the late and greats have been flamed

FFFC: Today I left work early, got home early, the cleaning ladies came today so the house is wonderful, and instead of going to pick up DD from daycare I'm just laying on my well-made bed and trying to decide if I want a shamrock shake (never had one) with my subway for dinner.

@Everycol0r the answer is no, you don't. Get a chocolate one instead!

My other confession:

I have no idea what "LFAF" means and I just spent the last 5 minutes trying to google, search on the Bump and then make up words that it could mean. Fail.

Here is an actual confession. 

*TW*

ive never actually tried to get pregnant. We oopsed our way into both pregnancies. So if I'm ever insensitive it's not on purpose. This is all just new to me. Please don't hesitate to call me out if/when I'm insensitive. This is a learning experience for me. 

@mschanandlerbong1214 I have thought about your FFFC a lot today. It is not your fault that your an easy breeder and have oopsed your way into two babies. It is good to have women from different prospectives on this board. That being said as a women who struggles with IF and has been blessed with two beautiful babies but only through years of trying, tears, testing, treatment, loss and is going through it all over again in the uncertain hopes to get KTFU; your statement is insensitive.
    I truly hope that when you IUD is removed that you get your BFP quickly. There are many women on this board who have been trying for months or are dealing with IF, I eluded to this yesterday. Please read the room.

FFFC: I keep seeing people talking about shamrock shakes and I have no idea what that is or where you buy it. I'm not googling because I don't want a (presumably) green milkshake anyway. 

And on the subject of creepy dolls. When I was like 5, allllll I wanted for my birthday was this Baby Talk doll. She said a few phrases and moved her mouth when she talked, and
opened/closed her eyes. My parents got her for me and I remember very vividly that I was TERRIFIED of her. Like legit hid across the room from the doll. And the worst part? She'd be put away and then would randomly start talking, so I'd be asleep and hear some creepy ass little doll say "pick me up!" "I love you mommy!" "come play with me!" Nooooooo thankkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuu. 

A few years ago I was cleaning some stuff out of my parents' attic and opened a box, and that little creeper was staring at me. I closed the box and immediately left the attic haha. If it was a horror movie she would've said "come playyy with meeee FOREVER" but I wasn't about to give her a chance to go all Chucky on me. 

PS this is what the creepy little monster looks like:

Like I said, don't hesitate to call me out since this is new to me. I'm really trying to be sensitive. Since we haven't actually started ttc and I really don't know how this will go I only have my past experiences to go off of. 

I really hope hope you get your bfp soon and I am praying for everyone here.

DON'T LISTEN TO EVERYONE ELSE. 

GET THE SHAKE. 

DELICIOUS. 

H asked me to buy him lunch today so of course I got myself another shamrock shake.
Third day in a row. 
#noregerts

Eta: I guess that can be my confession. That I've had a shamrock shake every day for the past 3 days.

Insensitive = talking about your "oops".  That word in and of itself makes me 
ETA thank you @wabash15

flashley-2

I totally sucked at bumping today. I did however find a cool video and of course thought of sharing it with the "girls". Something interesting but totally not FFFC related. Give it a try !

jess0211

Speaking of shamrock shakes my other FFFC is that I HATE shamrock shakes. Ew. Gross.

@dragonfly87 LFAF stands for Lisa Frank And Friends (or sometimes Lisa Frank As F*ck).  It's a private group of ladies from TB. It's a closed group but we do accept/send out requests for membership when we spot members on here that we think are cool.  Usually when you see something unicorn/rainbow themed it's LFAF.

I will remember that in the future @Saralee797. Like I said, none of my insensitivity is purposeful so please tell me where I go wrong!

antoto Thank you for the explanation. I was actually worried it was something IVF, loss or related to TTC and didn't to offend or assume something else.

Now that you reminded me, I have a whole container full of high school/middle school memorabilia in my basement. Definitely have a few felt coloring Lisa Frank posters....

Not mine, but similar:

I beg to differ, I think a lot of folks here are cool. Just stranger danger and all.

@mschanandlerbong1214 Thanks for owning it. You would not believe how unusual that is around here.

I'm with you @jess0211. I don't get the hype. Give me a mint Oreo shake from BK any day.

I could have been been more clear.  We DO think lots of people are cool in general - we just like to make sure they are cool in the way that we are okay with them knowing super personal things about us.

It's a blended private group actually with IF, AL/pgAL, BMB and a lot of misc so you're not wrong... it is all those things.

Although DH loves them...I already promised I would get him one when he laid up.

What the heck is a shamrock shake and where do you buy it?!?!?!

Feeling lazy about googling right now.

BertieMeetsGertie

Who doesn't want a minty, cool, delicious fluorescent green (maybe plutonium??) shake?! I have one a year and I LIVE for that one day.

@jess0211 Literally, same. My bday is also tomorrow and I want nothing to do with work right now. Unfortunately a bunch of stuff came up but you can bet I'm not jumping out of my chair to do it. 

Also, a part of me really thought I'd be pregnant on my birthday. Lol to that. 


***Stuck In a box....

@ag90 and @jess0211 put me in the same boat.  Birthday is Tuesday and I really thought this would be my cycle and I'd be knocked up for my birthday

That shake is disturbing looking. 

Also, @FLAshley I like this similar song reference lol

@dragonfly87 haha!! That's awesome!

My shamrock shake is mostly brown. Is this correct? I feel like there was an error made somewhere in this purchase.
