mindyb2019

@inthewoods23 oh wow! 3 times? I’m so sorry you had to see that FB post. *hugs to you* ❤️ 

inthewoods23

@mindyb2019 I'm feeling much better now. Plus my friend gave me a bunch of restaurant recommendations for gluten free so I'm back in a decent mood 🙂

mindyb2019

@inthewoods23 oh good. I’m glad to hear your feeling much better now. Yay to a decent mood 😁

@intothewoods23 social media is the absolute worst for this kind of stuff. Don't be afraid to step away if you need not to see that stuff!

*TW * hope I did the spoiler right 

When I had a chemical pregnancy in 2016 literally everyone and their mom was getting pregnant. I was so bitter, angry, and resentful, and to be honest I was a turd because we weren't even trying and were just purely reckless. But the ping of envy and pain was like nothing else. So I totally get unfollowing people.

Now that I'm on my laptop and can actually open threads I'm catching up on this one too.... all I have to say is 
@kpearse99 I KNEW you were guilty of filling the car while running as soon as you said you always sit in the car because its either too cold or too hot! HAHAHAHAHA I was like, omg this crazy woman is filling it while it runs so she can sit in the AC!  Then @inthewoods23 posted about her fear of being blown up and I was laughing like a maniac at your disappearing homer gif! I accidentally forgot to turn off the car while fueling once and it scared me and I was so confused about how I survived so I googled it and it turns out its actually not that dangerous because apparently its hard to ignite that kind of gas?

kpearse99

@krystrist2014 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Yup... that’s me! I‘m the bad person who doesn’t turn off their car while fueling! I’m that crazy lady 😂😂
 I guess I just don’t really understand what could happen 😂🤷🏻‍♀️.

 Except now.... I feel like @inthewoods23 doesn't want to be my friend anymore 😱😭! I’m sorry!! I just want to be warm!

inthewoods23

@kpearse99 😂 it's fine! I'm just a rule follower and turn off my car like the signs say!

It's kind of the same with cigarettes, how they can cause things to ignite but you need the right conditions for it to happen.

My car stays decently warm compared to outside in the winter I can still feel warmed even with the engine off.

I saw something about it being a new moon last night, and almost posted in here wondering if that would bring the crazies out since we've had pretty tame full moons recently. 

Aaaaand woke up to a drive-by. Extra points for the dramatic "goodbye forever" already?  

emeraldduchess

My monitoring appointment was scheduled for over an hour ago. I am still sitting here in the waiting room...

emeraldduchess

@mvt2003 there were so many things about her original post that rubbed me the wrong way. And why do the drive-bys always get pissy about not getting support when they just barge in without reading the rules? 

mvt2003

@emeraldduchess ugh I’m sorry they’re running behind! Hopefully you brought something to knit! 

And you’re so right. I’m really baffled by the drive-bys who are like “but I just needed support!” How exactly are we supposed to give support to a stranger? A pat on the back? Dude, we don’t know you! 

inthewoods23

@mvt2003 I have so many questions for that Peggy! Like what's the percentage that go through IVF for the first one an conceive naturally for the second? And why does she want to try for the second that way? Is natural conception for her even possible? And yes, her edit made me laugh! Lol

@emeraldduchess over an hour?? Damn! Hope it happens soon!

morethanamama

@emeraldduchess medical practices have zero respect for people's time sometimes! I hope they get you in asap!

I'm tired because I'm dumb and fell asleep on the couch at 10, then woke up an hour later, went to bed, put on a movie (idiot!), Forgot the sleep timer, and woke again at 1:30 to the movie credits...send coffee...

mvt2003

@inthewoods23 So. Many. Questions!!!  

I mean, I’ve heard that if you have to do IVF for specific reasons sometimes having a successful pregnancy can reset some of your hormonal issues - in the same way that sometimes you can have secondary infertility, the human body is weird, man. 

But yeah, if you do IVF, I feel like peeing on sticks is not something you ever question again 😂. I’ve got a box of cheapie tests in my bathroom, would absolutely just use them! 

inthewoods23

@mvt2003 that's true! Women go through IVF or at least an ER if they're going through chemo too.

I'm watching this documentary on Netflix called "Don't F*** With Cats" and oh boy did I get invested even though it's a very disturbing topic 😬

It's a little difficult to watch but it's about internet people trying to find this guy who posts these videos of him killing kittens 😭 there's 3 episodes and I'm about to finish episode 1.

Why am I watching this??

ashaislurking

@inthewoods23 - I've been missing my Loki boy something fierce lately. Every time I have surgery I get myself a little stuffie to snuggle with during post-op recovery and I found this cutie at Walmart. Of course she had to come home with me! 

emeraldduchess

@mvt2003 didn't bring my knitting, since they're usually really quick. They took me in around 9:45. They had people booked for u/s and bloodwork but they also take drop-ins on weekends. My clinic is affiliated with the hospital, but isn't open on weekends. So if I need bloodwork, etc. on weekends, I have to go into the city. You know which one I mean. The area where all the hospitals are could be its own city!

kpearse99

Ooooo @inthewoods23 that was such a good, disturbing But good, series!! 

inthewoods23

@ashaislurking oh my gosh so cute!!

@kpearse99 oh I'm just about to finish!! I still have to shower today 🤣

mvt2003

@emeraldduchess At least it was weekend traffic. At 9:45 I totally would have waited around and stopped at Anna’s for an early lunch 😂 The only good thing about having to drive to that part of the city is the food. 😂

inthewoods23

Random question....

The fitting room areas that stores have throughout... can anybody use them or is there some unwritten rule where you should only use the fitting rooms that are in your gendered area?

Like let's say DH and I both go shopping for clothes, can I go into the same fitting room area and use a fitting room next to him?

Some backstory if you're interested 😂 I was reading a list of memes about women's pants not having pockets and one had this recommendation of buying men's skinny jeans and now I seriously want to know if I can find a pair of men's skinnies with huge ass pockets and I wondered if I can use the fitting room in the men's area.

kpearse99

@inthewoods23 I think the general rule is that if it doesn’t say Men’s fitting room or Women’s fitting room then you’re good to use whatever one you want! 

ashaislurking

@inthewoods23 I agree with @kpearse99 but also if your level of give a damn is low enough just use the "men's" fitting rooms anyway. They're individual locking rooms and having them be gender specific in the first place is dumb. 

inthewoods23

@kpearse99 @ashaislurking I don't think they ever are labeled! That's why I always wondered if it was an unwritten rule that you should only go in fitting rooms in your areas.

And honestly I never have come across a guy using a fitting room near the women's areas!

Come to think of it though, in one Kohl's store they have all the fitness wear near the young men's area so that would be totally plausible to have men and women in the same fitting room

morethanamama

@intothewoods23 omg I watched it 2 weeks ago and was like... WTH am I watching?? Weird but fascinating!

kiki047

@inthewoods23 I don't think there's a specific rule unless it says Men's or Women's fitting room. The only way I could see it being an issue is if you needed a size or something and you were in the wrong department, but then people don't really do that at the big box stores anyway. I rarely see guys using fitting rooms unless their wife is standing outside making them try stuff on   MH hates trying on clothes, and he's pretty useless and picking his own stuff. If I let him dress himself he'd look like Ronald McDonald 99% of the time (insane colours and ill-fitting frump).
