WTF Wednesday (6/27)

Re: WTF Wednesday (6/27)

  • @jynjer91 A friend of mine has one. I thought it was an interesting idea, but probably not something I'd do. Looking at it you'd never know what it was made out of. I thought about posting a picture of hers she has on IG but feel like that's weird to post a photo that isn't mine.

    @hannaht8516 Seriously check frontier airlines!! I found a flight from Denver to Dallas for $49 one way. You do have to fly on certain days (tues or wed) but still, it’s worth the inconvenience if it doesn’t interfere with your plans too much.  
    I was pleasantly surprised by Frontier. The seats were roomy and comfortable. However you pay for everything: carry on, anything on board besides water, to pick your seat etc
  • I spent ten minutes looking all over my house for my keys... only to find that I’d left them in the door when I came inside earlier. Pregnancy brain is real, y’all.

    There are some really pretty pieces for sure but I cant get past it being milk, breast or other lol. I feel like it would get smelly or if you don't do it yourself there's no guarantee it's all yours. Ew ew ew.
  • @jynjer91 - That is too weird. 
  • I feel like my child would be enough of a remembrance of my time spent breastfeeding her, but maybe I don't have enough mommy hormones yet to be the target demographic.
  • I wondered the same thing @mamabearcj, if it'd start to smell. I mean, I suppose ideally it wouldn't, but could it get wet? What if it gets sweaty? 

    Really getting annoyed with my autocorrect toady. It put 'ghee' instead of 'the' and 'toady' instead of 'today' and 'inside' rather than 'instead' all just trying to type this out!

    I've been flat out most of today, feeling terrible. I've been trying to drink water or Gatorade and it's not going well. Just gets my gag reflex going  :s

    For breastmilk jewelry the milk is mixed with a plasticizer, so it basically just gets turned into white plastic, and kind of looks a bit like a pearl. They wouldn’t  biodegrade or change composition in water or with heat.

    Just seems like a waste of money to me. 
    @coffee-saur I hope you feel better!!
  • I can see why breastmilk jewelry might appeal to some people. I imagine the biggest demographic of buyers would be the hyper crunchy "lactivist" crowd but I can see why people who were long term BM donors or had trouble breast feeding or something might want one.

    WTF to our apartment maintenance guys STILL not actually fixing the problem with the fact that one of our bedrooms is a sauna. They’ve had to put freon in our AC unit twice in the past month and they’ve had to somehow adjust the airflow with our vents multiple times. A few of our windows leak air (it’s really obvious during the winter when you can feel the cool breeze coming through) but every time I bring that up to maintenance they brush me off and say “oh no, the windows are fine.” Yeah, tell that to the $250 electric bill that I just received. The former maintenance manager told us last year that the unit needed to be replaced soon but it wasn’t time. Cool, I get that there’s a process with these things, but don’t you think that replacing the freon twice in a month indicates that it’s pretty much dead? In the evenings, with all of the blinds and curtains closed and ceiling and box fans blowing, our apartment gets up to 80 degrees. I have the thermostat set at 73. It’s unacceptable. Oh, did I mention we’re in Texas and it got up to 101 today? I’m beyond frustrated.

  • @tlmill oh man, the worst! We have a pretty big house and our bill hasn't been over 200 yet this summer. 
  • tlmilltlmill member
    @jemmerjams yeah we have a 1280 square feet apartment. We’re on the third floor, so I expect a little bit higher bill, but this is ridiculous. Last summer and the summer before our bill never got over $175.

  • I would be pissed.
  • Thanks everyone for your support!

    Can I also WTF to this new trend of refusing people service because of their personal preference or political affiliation. It irked me with the whole gay wedding cake thing and it’s irking me this week too.

  • @sammierose464 holy cow! At least you will have some reading material if you get hit with insomnia this week!

    @krzyriver gag, mil tries to make DHs younger sister feel bad and paint her toes and that's too much for me, never mind cutting them! 
  • No one will ever be able to guilt me into touching their feet. I hate feet.

    WTF to DF. I have had conversations with him numerous times about consulting me BEFORE he makes plans and he still doesn't. He just tells me "I'm going to do this thing on this day" without asking me beforehand if that works for me. Telling me after he already made those plans gives me no room to tell him if something doesn't work. Plus his plans affect me because we have kids rogether. It affects how I'm going to spend my day.
    I mean this is a vast improvement to when he'd just tell me 10 minutes before he was going to do something but still. It's not that hard of a concept buddy.

    @mytrueloves This drives me crazy too!  It's even worse when DH his ex change the schedule with SD.  I've had complete melt downs over the lack of control over my own schedule, like my schedule is based off of his ex's life.  I'm getting all fired up just talking about it!  
  • @mamabearcj I actually wouldn't mind painting them! I *love* painting other people's nails. But they want clear polish. Come on! Lol.

  • @krzyriver you can paint my nails whenever you want then. I like having them painted but I absolutely suck at it!
  • @purplegoldfish2 Well my grandma is like 85. I wouldn't mind doing hers, except she really needs to go to the doctor. But my mom purposely waits until my grandma complains about them hurting to call. Then she wants me to cut them to hold her over until the appointment that's 4 weeks out. Ugh. My mom on the other hand just wants them done a certain way that's hard to do on yourself but, I hate sounding ungrateful, I agree with you... she's a grown woman. She can go to the nail salon like the rest of us. I don't understand why I have to take time out of my limited free time with my kids to give her a pedicure.

  • @SawyerRichardson Sold! It's seriously the only thing I miss about working in the salon. I was never amazing, couldn't really do designs or anything because I have zero creative talent and never practiced, but I could paint piggies all day.

  • With my husband's schedule, sometimes he has appointments in the evenings. And he rarely tells me beforehand. Which, right now, it's not a big deal. It just means I'll get to watch my crap tv shows in peace and eat crap food. But I also just like to know plans in advance even if it doesn't necessarily matter. Once the baby is here though, I'm going to need to know this shit.
  • @mytrueloves This would drive me insane. H used to do this and, after many many years, I trained him to ask before making solid plans. Appointments and stuff I don't care about so much cause they're usually during the day when I'm at work. But anything outside work hours? That's MY time and he better consult me! Lol

    Ugh the whole men making plans thing is annoying! DH also has a job where he needs to network and attend events outside of work hours and in the beginning he would never tell me until I would be like umm where are you? At like 7pm if he wasn't home. 
    I also like eating dinner between 6:30-7:30 because I'm hungry and don't like eating late. He never understood how frustrating it was to find out he wasn't coming home until I was about to make dinner. We used to argue about it. It took about a year until he would finally tell me the morning of if he knew we had a thing. Then when I started to meal plan I would ask Sunday what his week looked like. Of course things come up and that is understandable but he should know what his week generally looks like! 
    Now my biggest struggle is he will tell me a time he thinks he will be home and he shows up 1-2 hours later sometimes without a text to say he's late. Doesn't understand how disrespectful that is. 
    It's a constant expression of your feelings and having them consider them and readjust! LOL

    My mother in law just had a stroke. Does the universe just want to throw every stressful situation at us right now? 
    MIL had to have surgery to remove a clot in her brain that was heading towards her speech segment. She's in recovery now and I'm just waiting to hear when I can go see her. They will monitor her for 24 hrs to ensure she doesn't have another stroke.

  • That's so scary, @chyvie. I hope she's okay. You'll be in my thoughts.
  • Oh no @chyvie.  Hope she’s ok. 
  • @chyvie - Oh no!  I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope that she recovers quickly.
