I just saw that this is has been addressed before I said anything. I'm really not so good at this Bump stuff - I wish all of the replies and quoting nested! I haven't used the Bump since my first baby in 2011-2012. I'm feeling crazy outdated.
My confession: I'm having a hard time getting the hang of the bump again! But it could be that this 3rd baby is sucking out my brains... so there's that.
Agreed. This format isn't conducive to making lasting relationships. But the boards on here are monitored much closer and they are trying to prevent trolls and other less than nice behavior which used to run rampant on these boards. The sad thing is back in 2008 - 2012 when I was on the Bump a lot, I made life long friendships. I think that'd be hard to do in the format they are in now. Perhaps I'm wrong. I just don't have the time anymore to wade through an 8 page post. But I also have 2 kids and full time job now. Those are things I didn't have in 2008 when I was pregnant with my first.
FFF(S)C: I had a steak cooked medium rare last night and I have no regrets.
@fancybelmont oh what I would give for a medium rare steak right now. IMO if you don't eat your steak medium rare then you aren't eating it right
I try not too get worked up over food recommendations. I just try to make sure I buy quality if I'm going to get a steak. This is also my 3rd, so I feel far less anxious.
I guess I have another confession after reading all of this: I've never tried queso! Judging by all these enthusiastic comments I feel like I must be missing out!

@sissy42 Glad I'm not the only one! I haven't been on the Bump since 2013 and it's soooo different now. We can learn together!!

@fancybelmont I completely agree! It's so cumbersome!!! Hopefully we find time to wade through these threads. My last exp with the Bump was 2013.

@joyful08 Haha, is queso a Tex-Mex thing? I'm in Southern California and I eat Mexican food pretty often, but I swear I never see it? But I also didn't try horchata until like 2 years ago (cause I'm dumb) so maybe I'm just oblivious!
@bossmom11 Thanks for the rec! I'll have to look for Moe's queso and try it. I mean I love cheese, so I feel like this is going to be a 'where has this been all my life' moment.

Most trolls are awful/annoying, but some of my April 2012 best stories are stemmed off past troll encounters. My absolute best friend is a fellow bumpie from 2011. I cannot imagine my life without her now. We've visited and stayed with each other multiple times and text daily. We have a trip planned for next year with our families. Hopefully we still have a shot at making some new lasting friendships once we settle into the new way of bumping. I tried back in 2014/15 but wasn't feeling it. Giving it another try with kiddo number 3. Haha.
@orangecup I found myself saying I was sure if I could eat certain things without knowing the real reason why. I was going to ask since it's been 5 years since I thought about it but I agree with you that the odds are not high if here at all. I had cooked sushi the other night but all I wanted was spicy tuna!!!

I wasn't around back then but I can say I have made lifelong friends on TB in the last year + of TTC. The BMB world is a little different but I hope we can all make it work
