@madcouplewithabox Hahah! DH exposed himself as a Nickelback fan a few years into our relationship when he put on his "Nickelback" Pandora station. It was a rough time but now we are in agreement that he doesn't play it in the car with me ever again .
@madcouplewithabox my mom's bf gave my bro & I all these CDs like 10+ years ago & we drove around in his car & listened to them, trying to decide who got to keep which--and instead of one of us taking the nickelback cd, my bro hurled it out the window, which is just as funny to me now as it was then.
mine needs a spoiler maybe bc it involves other ppl TTC? who i thought were hio one night lol but then it turns out their heater just makes weird noises...
PRETTY sure the ppl i stayed w/ in PDX last week were ttc bc there was (what i am SURE was) an unopened (unmarked) pg test on the windowsill at one point? that was still there the day i left? WHO LEAVES THAT THERE, like, when you have guests? I wasn't even the only guest! I was like "rude." ...also pretty sure they figd out I was ttc bc of the plastic cup i was peeing in for opks winding up in their bathroom trash & my opks also (returned to their wrappers & buried under other bathroom trash?) AND, also & most obviously, the empty glass bottle of prenatals that was "special" recycling so i had to leave it out on their counter w/ the other glass (label facing away!) My commitment to recycling is too much. idk what i'm confessing here except other people's.... weirdness? & my own dedication to having no one really know we're trying except yall & like my 2 super close friends & maybe my mom kind of knows.
@lcking82 it's weirdly satisfying to read/watch other people's oddball lives and points of view. Same with the sister wives stuff. I'm not hating on it, but it just seems so...questionable?

The whole polygamy thing isn’t my jam, but I’m cool with the kids having more than one mom to look after them!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
I’m exaggerating a surgery in hopes my in laws offer to take my dogs for a night because I need a break from them.
So in reality, I’m having ovarian drilling done which is a surgery that I’ve had done before and I am supposed to be on bed rest (I have a blood clotting disorder so to prohibit the stitches from bursting) for 2 days. In reality I’d probably be ok to keep them here with me but it’s just me and they’re a combined almost 90lbs so I’m a little worried of them jumping on me.
@kels0091 Get that REAL relaxation; your dogs will be super happy to see you once you're healed & you'll prolli feel the same way. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
I just like to use my FW as an exuse to have more HIO sessions 😂. But @b_1029 condoms are the worst lol. We were benched for 6 months after our Jamaica trip and it was just so frustrating!
@b_1029 condoms are the worst! We had to use them for a few months when I was benched and we general just didn’t have sex, since we both hate them. Could you get an iud? I got one for the 3 months I was benched over the summer.
eta, I am dumb and sleep deprived, so I see and understand your lack of desire, but will leave my comment since maybe you may still like the option? Lol.
Butttt when you aren’t TTC, it’s a lot less messy with condoms... so I don’t mind that part!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 Yeah, I HATEEEE the messy. We used condoms forever since I wasn't on bc when I met MH, & now when it's now FW & we DTD I'm like "condom plz"--I get yeast infections really easily tho, too, & the condoms (now that we found the right ones, bc they prev. CAUSED YIs lol) help w/ preventing those. I also don't like it, like, when the bottom of my pants gets wet in the rain, and I think the dislike of that sensation is related to my dislike of the mess HIO creates.
@kagesstarshroom Condoms give me YI too. There is one time that’s okay, (unless we dtd a lot) but I can never remember what time. While I am 100% okay with latex, I am allergic to other plastics, but don’t know which. I also think the spermicide on some bothers me.
@holly321 Yeah, it's def. the lube that bothers me. We get these & they are infinitely better than any other kind we've tried in terms of avoiding YIs. The un-lubed ones just make the whole thing way more difficult than it should be, so I was so glad we found these. They have aloe in them? And come with a super cute travel carrier and box?
@kagesstarshroom now that I see the package, I know those are the only ones we use too! I get them confused with another type with similar colored packaging, but the way you described the box, I know it is them!
