I didn’t see a new one started, and it was suggested that I avoid the current one since the topic is something that raises my BP...

So, starting a new one...

Completely random, but, I got my sexy ankles back!!!

(In spoiler since some people are offended by feet and/or hairy legs...)

cjx95

Lol yay to sexy ankles!!

cdepperschmidt

Ankles, what are those? I have legs and feet...

I miss having ankles! On the plus side I passed my glucose test which I was concerned about so I guess I can live with some swelling.

We visited my sisters new vacation property yesterday in a big gated community. It’s essentially a campsite with all permanent trailers/buildings where you buy/own your land/site and then it has a bunch of amenities like pools/playgrounds/etc. - we fell in love and are seriously considering purchasing a site now! We’re hoping to get into the bank soon to see about the financial viability of us doing this now, especially with me about to be on maternity leave for a year. (We get 12 months in Canada but only at 55% of our wage up to a maximum unless your employer tops up which mine doesn’t. They also recently changed it so you can also take 18 months with the same amount of money spread out over that term.) I wish I was independently wealthy!!!

@knottieamusements aren't those leg squeeze-y things nice? Almost like a leg massage... Almost... They were sorta annoying too, tho. With my first, my legs were really puffy! After a day with those on, they were completely loose because my legs had gone down so much! The nurse was even surprised. 

We picked my mom up from the airport yesterday, after she'd spent the week with my brother in Portland. Sounded like she had a good time! I had been going to get a pass to meet her at the gate, (this was the Denver International Airport so it's HUGE) but we hadn't signed mom up for a wheelchair so they wouldn't give me one. They said they'd send someone to help her, but the lady at the gate told her to walk over to customer service and she couldn't find it... So she messaged me saying she was lost which made me upset so I went back to the ticket desk, told them she was lost, and they were sending someone to find her, when she messaged me again saying she'd fond her way to the terminal and she'd found DH and the kids. It turned out fine but was peeved with United for the minor heart attack. I told them she gets easily confused and big crowds overwhelm her and they don't really give wheelchairs for that. Oh well, I'll know for next time.

My husband shared this with me and now I’m sharing it with all of you... why? Because of the mystery pooper.

He saw a random bathroom survey/study thing. There was 1 question.
After you poop, you: 
A. Wipe until you’re clean.
B. Wipe until you think you should be done.
C. Wipe once.
D. Don’t wipe.

Guys... 11% of people picked D!!! (And he told me that only slightly over 50% of people picked A.)

I wonder if the mystery pooper participated in the survey.

I must have missed this “mystery pooper” discussion. Curious to know more if anyone can give me a recap or link back to the original post!!! This should help my Monday start off a bit better.

sliztee

Oh man, challenge accepted @rabtaido1214

cagncoo12

Omg, that’s disgusting. How could you not wipe?!

sliztee

@rabtaido This is the only one I could find with mention of the mystery pooper by @pumpkinpancake...HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure someone told a great story about another coworker who pooped on a floor once? Needless to say, there have been a few women on this thread who have experienced a variety of mystery poopers, and I commend them for continuing to use public restrooms despite their stories.

sammierose464

@sliztee , I'm impressed you were able to find that!

pumpkinpancake

Haha yes! The mystery pooper was someone in my office who pooped, didn’t flush, and also didn’t leave any toilet paper behind... still haven’t found out who it was, and not sure I want to know...

knottieamusements

All of the above stories are contained in the same thread.  Just keep reading.  

cagncoo12

Lmao. I'm so glad that this group has had not one but now two mystery pooper conversations. It really makes me happy.

sliztee

Right you are, @knottieamusements! The mystery note pooper!

chyvie

I have a poop story to add. We had a condo showing yesterday and I noticed that there was a small skid mark on the toilet when we returned.  I know for a FACT that wasn't there before because I had just cleaned the toilets before leaving - I even thought to myself this will be the last time I clean these toilets because we move Thursday.
WTF!Who takes a shit in someone else's house they are trying to sell?! Did they need to make sure they felt comfortable?! LOL

britvahok

@chyvie who takes a poop during an open house!!! Hopefully it was a kid and not an adult. Yesterday DS1 and I were in Target and he looks at me and says "Mom I gotta poop!." A second later he said "Nevermind, I just farted. I'm okay now" but a few minutes later he was back to talking about how he really had to poop so we left. 

rabtaido1214

Oh man, so glad I asked the question. Much needed laughter on a Monday.

melbo444

I had to poop in a disgusting airplane bathroom yesterday, and it was awful. I didn't add to the mess, but let's just say that my fellow passengers that had been in there before me weren't exactly careful. It was a long, bumpy flight...

Also hi everyone, I've missed a lot over the past two weeks, I see! Crazy work and travel. Now a lot of catch-up and orders to send out, but I'm relieved that my travel expense investment paid off and I had a successful event. And I can do the post-processing work at home with my feet up!

cjx95

@melbo444 welcome back! Pooping on a plain does not sound fun at all. 

rabtaido1214

I’m sorry you had to experience that midair. However, a poop anywhere this far along in pregnancy is good news   so glad your trip was worthwhile!

pajamstagrams

@sliztee maybe you are talking about my story? I think I shared the story of the serial pooper we had on some of our facilities, where he'd poop around and eventually started leaving notes. What is with people?!?

sliztee

Hahaha yes, @jemmerjams! It was further down in the thread and I overlooked it when I posted this morning. That shit is WHACK.

Finally caved and got some under the bump panties off Amazon. Loving the inspiration on the tags...

@halfanewt that's cute! Comfy fitting undies and a laugh!

krzyriver

@chyvie Maybe they wanted to see if it felt like home??

cdepperschmidt

Ugh speaking of poop stories. There was one in my area recently. Some lady went into a convience store and legit pooped on the floor while wearing a dress, and then used merchandise to “wipe”. The local
PD were trying to ID her for “destruction of property so they posted security footage...it was special. 

jennybean80

@cdepperschmidt there was a woman who wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom in a Tim Hortons in BC who pooped on the floor and threw it at the person behind the counter...

krzyriver

@jennybean80 I saw that video unfortunately. People are crazy!!

knottieamusements

@jennybean80 - What?!?

jennybean80

@knottieamusements people are crazy. 

nmadjeski

We had a superintendent who was caught pooping on the track outside the school. He's since resigned and is now trying to sue the PD over his mugshot. 

elothair

@jennybean80 That’s the Tim Hortons closest to my office - I was so not surprised. It’s a super sketchy area with a lot of drug use and homelessness due to drugs and/or mental health issues. Apparently she was known to the location and they have a lot of interesting characters who use their bathrooms and leave paraphernalia behind in sinks/stalls, etc. so they’ve been trying to tighten up who can use them. Definitely backfired on that employee!

knottieamusements

My own comment on the poop discussion...  Apparently Max saves all his poopy diapers for me rather than the nurses.  I have yet to do a diaper change that didn’t involve a poopy diaper.  

And total non sequitor - I was just reading an article about feeding kids a gluten free diet here on The Bump. This particular typo cracked me up:

“ Plus, unlike regular breast, gluten-free breads aren’t vitamin-fortified.”

My breasts are plenty vitamin fortified, thank you very much.  I’m still taking my prenatals.

I think I saw that shit (hah) in the news!!! Like it was a mystery pooper for a while and then they figured out it was the superintendent, right? People are crazy.

nmadjeski

@DunkinDecaf yes! Lmao 

chyvie

@knottieamusements Aww he is really making sure you have lots of practice in the poo department.
