In keeping with @inthewoods23 hedgehog theme.

I hope it’s okay that I started the remaining weekly threads

@jackie_dunny thanks for keeping us organized!! i was unnecessarily excited that there were so many new threads today!

Anyone else having issues with TB app? Mine is crazy glitchy. It's pretty much 50/50 when I log in whether or not I can love tit or post. Suuuuuuper frustrating! BGs, get it together and fix the app. It's been like this for at least a week.

shoogapoff

@gingermama29 Yes! I've been having major issues, which is a problem because when I am at work (I am "essential") I have to rely on app-only posting. I've been locked out a bunch lately. 

inthewoods23

@gingermama29 yeah I've usually had to hit the refresh button or close out the app and go back in. So stupid. In fact, I have that issue a bit on my desktop as well. I always have to refresh the page for it to recognize me as logged in so the threads I have read show up as read!

@jackie_dunny yay hedgehogs! 

charmedlifex3

@gingermama29 Mine says "page not found" when I log into TTGP from desktop. I have to like ... circle around by going to a thread I am tagged in, then go back to TTGP. 
It seems like a lack of peggies lately, maybe they are glitching out too... 
@shoogapoff DH and I are both essential. I am glad for the paycheck, but working on top of everything going on has been really hard. 

inthewoods23

@the_road_to_oz I get that too! I like to click on the 1st Tri link to see if there are any new train wrecks before clicking into the TTGP board haha

charmedlifex3

@inthewoods23 Yeeeees!!! Lol. Definitely a few I've been like 

inthewoods23

@the_road_to_oz my favorite has to be the "my friend believes her son is smarter because she did weed while pregnant". I've wanted to reply so bad to some of those but I'm like no... that's where I'll go off the rails on people for their stupid worries. 80% of the things posted in that board are always "that's a question for your doctor"

charmedlifex3

@inthewoods23 Yup I just fell down that hole. 

asf0613

my bump app wont even open the community so i can only access here!  been like that for a month!

emeraldduchess

@asf0613 same. On the mobile site I can't get onto the message boards!

stillcozy

@gingermama29 yes super glitchy I do the refresh button as well and that works “most” of the time. I don’t get why it is so bad though.

@inthewoods23 my eyes rolled so hard at that chick and that comment they almost got stuck.  What I wanted to say “and maybe he would have been a genius if it wasn’t for it. You don’t know!!!”  But I was not feeling like being warned. 

2nd tri got my goat some Peggy opened a thread from 2015 about hating dogs... and wanted complain about her partners dog that she does not take care of well and how she wants to demand he get rid of it.. ugh!! Pets are not disposable! 

inthewoods23

@stillcozy yup saw that one too. I literally scan the list of all the boards to see anything recent except I basically stay away from the baby name board because people get stupidly opinionated about names when no one should really care. There have been some real gems throughout all the boards lately.

stillcozy

@inthewoods23 I added a nice Betty white gif since I can’t say he should dump you not the dog 😂

charmedlifex3

Anyone know when warnings expire, BTW? Speaking of peggies....

stillcozy

@the_road_to_oz I think they last 6 months. 

capnjackharkness

@the_road_to_oz It should say on your personal profile page.  Depends on the 'level' of warning... not that I like know anything about this topic. 

inthewoods23

@the_road_to_oz my level 2 expires in September  I think it's always 6 months. My first warning was supposed to expire sometime last month (probably towards the end)... and then I said something *technically* against the rules to a Peggy so now I'm on level 2 until September.

stillcozy

TW PG mentioned

Another I’m not happy I’m pregnant because of Covid thread this time on December and of course it’s someone who never read the intro threads there either.  I’m over this crap my heart aches. I want to be pregnant dang it Covid or not.  But not my circus not my monkey so I am not going to engage. 

inthewoods23

@stillcozy just another reason to not go into the BMBs!

capnjackharkness

@stillcozy Ugh.  I mean, I get that it's a 'scary time' out there right now for a lot of people, and they are feeling anxiety and fear.  But these people need to get a grip on reality.  Clearly none of them have lost a pregnancy or struggled with IF, let along lost multiple babies or struggled for years, or they would not be so quick to be unhappy about not being able to show off their fat pregnant bellies with their families in person as everyone coo's over them and now that makes this not a 'fun' pregnancy.  All those bitchers and moaners better hope they're special snowflakes who don't encounter issues/problems or loss of their pregnancies or they're going to be feeling some super deep regret about their current words in the months to come...

charmedlifex3

@stillcozy
- I get it that this is hard for everyone, but people need to see the blessings they have. My RE asked if we were going to keep trying - I said "Yeah, it would suck for a few weeks / months, but we will have the rest of our lives with that baby... so yeah, we are going to keep trying."
TW loss

All the "OMG this is terrible, I am birthing during a pandemic!" talk is getting to me. I should be 32 weeks pregnant.

stillcozy

One person even wrote “it took me a week to come to terms with my pregnancy.” Ugh... I can’t... someone needs to remind them of their blessings. 

@capnjackharkness seriously.....
@the_road_to_oz so so many hugs!

inthewoods23

@capnjackharkness @the_road_to_oz amen - well said!

Don't they say birth plans pretty much always go out the window? Just think of it as those plans going out the window a few weeks early. Plenty of women give birth alone because their husbands get stuck at work or their husband is deployed. So yes, do feel sorry for yourself, but recognize that you're not the only one going through your situation and do what you can to be okay with the situation.

They aren't helping all the fear mongering that's already going around!

So we just moved into a new neighborhood and I was out walking the dog.  Ended up talking to a neighbor for like 30 minutes at an appropriate distance.  Was I wearing pj pants with ducks on them?  Had I taken a shower in the past day?  Was I wearing a bra?  Yes, no, and no!  Excellent first impression!  But he did invite me to a socially distant BYOB gathering in the cul de sac.  Everyone puts chairs in their driveways and chats.  

stillcozy

@dobiemom11 I am so glad you are in such a supportive engaging judgement free neighborhood! ❤️

mindyb2019

@dobiemom11 your new neighborhood sounds great. That's cool that they wanna have a social distant gathering and that everyone can sit in their driveways and chat. Fun!!! sounds like a great idea. you made me laugh with your pjs with ducks on them and not showering or wearing a bra 😆 You do you girl! 

stillcozy

How I have felt after wearing a real supportive bra the last two work days 😂 if my girls didn’t hang to belly button from weight when I went out and hurt my back I would join you 😂 also I would love duck PJ pants.

dobiemom11

@mindyb2019 and @stillcozy. I did have a plan though.  Take the dog for a quick walk and then shower to wash all the pollen off.  Just wasnt anticipating the long conversation.  

inthewoods23

You know what's really fun? Clicking into the profile pages of the bump admins and clicking into all the threads they've closed.

If you need a dose of Peggys, go check the profiles out 

stillcozy

@inthewoods23 I used to do a bump search with their usernames for that purpose back in the day but it doesn’t seem to work anymore

stillcozy

Every time I get notification on the grad announcement thread I get pumped thinking we have another grad haha 

inthewoods23

@stillcozy it has been a really long time since we've had more than 1 person graduate in the same week. And really all of winter it has been so light with grads. We've had way too many people who graduate below the 3 month mark. I find it always tends to be those who don't participate very deeply here too and it takes me forever to notice or I only notice when their name happens to pop up in the waiting room threads (which I tend to avoid going into). It always seems to be those that only do the WTO or TWW threads too.

And sadly, there's a ridiculous number of us who have been here a year+!  something in my heart says we're going to be graduating like crazy this year though! I just know it!

stillcozy

@inthewoods23 I noticed that too. I am
hoping and feeling the same thing though! 

emeraldduchess

@inthewoods23 I definitely had a few "why TF am I still here???" moments over the last few days. Rapidly approaching 2 years and I hate that some of us have been here way too long. I hope you're right that a mass exodus is coming. 

keikilove

@emeraldduchess Ditto 1000% to everything you said. 

jackie_dunny

Has anyone else’s DH been really weird this quarantine? MH keeps asking me for permission for things 😂 Can I have a beer? Can I play PlayStation? I’m just like.....yeah? I don’t care what you do with your free time lol I don’t get it. I’ve never been the type of wife that requires him to ask permission for things 😂 maybe he just feels guilty and odd for having a beer and playing video games on a Thursday afternoon 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

legallykate

@jackie_dunny LOL that's kind of funny, it does almost sound like he wants you to be like "stop drinking beer and playing games and do something productive." Men are weird. MH hasn't been like that but he has been a little weird and obsessive with cleaning, putting in grocery orders EVERYWHERE, etc. 

dobiemom11

@jackie_dunny. That is very sweet and probably a little annoying after a while.  Mine keeps asking me how I am doing and what he can do to make it better.  So far not any great answers, but good he is checking in!  We also ordered beer on the grocery app, so I think it is funny that we have it.  We normally don't have any, but I guess he wanted to be prepared for being trapped home with me.  

jackie_dunny

@legallykate yeah maybe! But he’s been doing plenty around the house and yard so I have no idea 😂 he’s a funny one 

@dobiemom11 he’s not doing it often enough to be annoying but it did make me go 🤨 lol that’s sweet that YH keeps asking how you’re doing and seeing if you need anything
