FFFC Let them rip!

Manateearmz · October 2010

OK, ladies it appears that we're all in rare form today. I personally have loved the drama, I'm just glad that we've all held our own after all the big biitches left the board. I've popped my popcorn and I'm ready for the flame free's. This should be an open invitation to all of those that haven't liked our snarky a.k.a. awesome humor today to have their say.

Give yourselves a round of applause for keeping the flames and fire alive!

I both love and hate halloween. I love dressing up, getting candy, trick or treating but I can do without all the gore and horror. It just seems that is has gotten so much more distrubing since I was a kid. I understand that a lot of people like being scared and love Halloween but this part I can't wait for it to be over.

I am also a self prophesed prude when it comes to being scared. I have never been to a haunted house and I hate horror films. The few that I have seen ( and I am sure they were pretty mild to some people) gave me nightmares for years.

I am a self proclaimed gramma nazi. I have a really hard time reading posts with bad grammar and abbreviations that should be left to text messages. I can usually look the other way when the poster is making a valid point. However, when it's some half witt asking the same questions for the 50th time, or crying because she didn't get the answer she was looking for, I feel a strong urge to print their post, correct it with a giant red marker, and mail it to them.

My dad was an English teacher when I was a kid, and grammar was something that was stressed to no end in our home. I've learned to restrain myself over time though, as most of DH's family speaks English as a second language.

I just hope the next few days aren't going to be a competition to see who can take the place of those who left and totally lose sight of the humour and snarkynness. I love sarcasm, and think its all hilarious, but do it for the right reasons.

Manateearmz · October 2010

I have been known to ask a stupid question.So I try to give a little to those that pop on with silly questions, we all have pregnancy brain and I've asked a few on this board in the beginning.

BUT

For the life of me I don't understand why if you think something is serious you ask non-professionals about it on a message board. If I think something is wrong with me or my baby I call my doctor, or read one of the 50 pregnancy books on my nightstand. It's just common sense.

wendylaine · October 2010

I have company coming tonight at the last minute. As I am cleaning I am jamming all of the clutter into our spare bedroom. The worst thing is that we are supposed to be cleaning out the spare room for the baby!

This may count as an UO, but I'm going to say it anyway...

I know this is going to make me sound like a stoner (which I am NOT), but I strongly believe that marijuana should be legalized. People are going to smoke it whether it is or not, and that way it could be better controlled, you'd know what's in it, kids wouldn't have to resort to cough syrup, the government could tax the crap out of it (and put the $$ to good use hopefully), and then the cops could put their time to better use.

I don't think it'll be a competition so much as the people who have held back are finally getting their chance to shine. And by shine, I mean snark.

that I can live with.

rkearns0821 · October 2010

I am starting to get REALLY annoyed with people who are saying that the only reason some of us are snarky is because we are trying to "fit in" or be part of a "clique".

I am perfectly capable of identifying stupidity on my own thank you very much. I also have no problem calling those people out on that stupidity either.

JerkStore213 · October 2010

I TOTALLY judge other people's parenting even though I have no kids of my own yet. Last night my SIL had a small get together for her oldest son's birthday. She's a SAHM, and two of her three kids are in school all day. She ordered a pizza (and that was it. No salad, nothing) and for dessert she plopped some KozyShack rice pudding in a tupperware bowl and put it on the table. Her kids ate 2 bites of pizza before running back to the Wii. My feet were sticking to the floor and her kids' feet were completely black on the bottom.

You stay at home! You couldn't do any better than that? I work and I would have done better!

MamabirdtoBe · October 2010

I get soo annoyed when I watch Baby Story. I just watched a woman giving birth, and during the entire thing I wondered how her husband was not tempted to smother her with a pillow. WE GET THAT IT HURTS. Your moaning, screaming that you can't handle it, begging people to help you, and whining like a little baby are obnoxious. You're not the first and only person to give birth.

Yes I'm pretty much known in my group of IRL friends for my snark!

i will back you up on that. me and DH have had this argument to many times (he used to be a cop and doesnt agree with me)! besides.. you cant overdose on weed. and there is no proof to show it causes harm other than a few brain cells. i think it should be treated just like alchohol.

I would never point this out except you are a self-professed "gramma nazi". It's Half-Wit.

TheCricket · October 2010

DH did/said something this week that indicated that he isn't attracted to me at the moment, especially now that I am pregnant. My ego took such a crazy hit, and even though low Testosterone levels (which he is trying to correct medically) may be the cause of the lack of libido, I still feel like dog sh*t. And, to think I am only going to feel less attractive throughout the pregnancy. Fan-f*cking-tastic.

Looking for a rock to crawl under.

Thanks! LOL! I waffled back and forth on that too. Grammar is my strong point, not so much spelling...

sl_gordon · October 2010

I think if I see one more "It's a..." thread, I'm going to poke my eyeballs out with a fork. Flame me, I don't effing care. I'm only 15 weeks, and I've already decided that when I find out, I won't subject others to it.

I agree. My Step-Dad is an English professor at a local college. When I was a kid "ain't" was considered a swear word in our house.

I don't understand how people can graduate from high school and/or college w/out a grasp of the English language and basic sentence structure. My real dad is a prime example. He has a masters degree and can't write a sentence. He had my DH make a website for his private practice and I sat there and corrected it. It was one giant run-on sentence. He recently took a test for a new certification. He passed the oral exam and completely bombed the written. I'm actually happy that for once in his education that someone stopped him and said "hey, you need to clear this up." It comes across as very unprofessional. Ok, vent over.

IncogNeato · October 2010

Not sure this counts but I'm walking into a snake pit tomorrow as a bunch of my friends are traveling to meet a friend's one year old for the first time. Amongst the group: one single friend who is suddenly anti- boy, anti- husband, anti-baby, one who has been trying to get PG since before I started and last time I talked to her she drunkenly told me that she was happy to find that she didn't totally hate me ( this was 3 months ago so she may now), one who has baby rabies and likes to ask about the gory details and won't take a hint (her husband is freaking out and isn't ready either) and a few others that think i'm crazy and wierd for being pg but try to play it cool while looking at me like a zoo animal. Should be a fun time as I try to stop the baby rabies girl from obsessing and pissing off the not-yet-pg girl AND the baby hater at the same time... And everyone will be drinking except me. Sigh... I wish I could just hide my belly and make everyone happy.

Firefly205 · October 2010

My mother gave me the worst advice I've ever heard! I told her about what I recently found out about my DH and she said "Well now you hold the cards. You could go do the same thing if you wanted and he would have no say." She practically told me to go get it on with someone else...on purpose. What?! Mom?!

wow, that's... different. What about keeping your morals in tact and being the bigger person? That's my advice, if you are taking any.

My MIL did that when she found out FIL cheated on her. It totally blew up in her face and she said it was the biggest mistake of her life.

MrsBarkel2B · October 2010

The ultrasound tech said she *thought* baby was a boy but we never actually saw a penis. Hubby and I are kinda hoping she's wrong and that baby is a girl cause we love our first little girlie girl so so much that it would be fantastic to have 2!!

But we love our baby either way.

LadyXaverian · October 2010

I've only been here a week or so, but I'm not sad about the "3rd tri exodus" that's been AW'd all over this board for since I arrived. Ok, so move on to the next board. We all do it. Did you want a bon voyage party? Good grief.

Oooh! Me, too! I have a really hard time overlooking bad grammar. My husband is always making fun of me because he says I get all worked up over the bad grammar people use when posting. Seriously, read it back to yourself before you post it. Does it sound stupid? Fix it!

Yes

not to mention a lot of related crimes would be reduced.

and prisons would clear out leaving room for people who should be there forever suffering.

i was pretty majorly flamed for this one a few weeks ago.

Then you'll be especially pleased to know that we had our u/s and we're having... porcupines! Now we are left with the question of how to decorate the nursery, and I am more scared now to deliver. Oh well, as long as they are happy and healthy. Wink

Babydoll415 · October 2010

If one more person says I am being a "hormonal pregnant b8tch", over something that is complete common sense as opposed to a "hormonal reaction", I am gonna really show them the definition of one in my eyes. Its driving me bonkers and I have 180 more days to go! I feel like I should just shut up for the next 180 days before I end up giving birth in jail! Crying

DeAnna&DavidRyder · October 2010

haha. i really did have one tho.

i packed my bags and almost left when DH ate a piece of my pizza....

everyone told me i was being ridiculous (no shi t right? that's why its hormonal. its ridiculous)

obviously leaving DH over a piece of pizza was stupid. thats why i posted it. i thought it was hilarious ( a few hours later and after he made it up to me with a brownie batter blizard)

Easy. I'm really a 47 year old, male, overweight virgin, living in my parents basement, with no hope of social advancement. I'm currently waiting for my mom to bring down my order of chili cheese fries, and since I don't have anything better to do it's easy to spend all day in front of the computer taunting and harassing pregnant women.

hollieellis · October 2010

I really hate door to door salesmen. Yes, I understand you are broke and need money, but i dont want you scrubbing the dirt off my shoes, or spraying the paint of my car.

For the record. My husband and i own our own business and sell products, but Im not annoying and i dont go door to door. (Although If it had been a pregnant woman at the door, i would have bough everything she was selling) Maybe ill do it when i get further along.

Really, i just have a hard time sympathizing with a guy who has totally crazy dialect and has a huge THUG LYFE tattoo on his neck. Just saying.
