Here we go again!

Edited because those flames were a little too big!

tblauvelt · November 2010

I didn't do a damn thing at work this week except bump, watch youtube videos, blog, email DH back and forth, and take care of personal business during work hours Zip it!

Ricola · November 2010

Here is mine:

I really don't like the call outs for typos or spelling errors.

People are not automatically dumb, because they don't know how to spell a certain word. All the call out accomplishes is that the person who misspelled something feels extra stupid. And all others are chiming in and making fun of this person, I hate to see that.

I know I'm only on cycle #2 and really can't b!tch, but my BFN this morning really hurt

Kathy4678 · November 2010

Mine is totally not TTGP related, but-

I have a coworker is going to get fired today. I've known for weeks that she's on her way out and I'm counting the minutes until she gets the boot, packs her crap-o-la, and leaves. She is a total PITA.

Edited for spelling and wording!

I'm pretty sure this won't be our cycle and I'm kind of glad for two reasons: our good friend's wedding, in which I am a bridesmaid, would be 4 days after my phantom due date and my midwife is out of town for the whole month of July. Also, I'm super glad that I don't have to go to my second job today and can just take a nap after subbing instead!

Everybody hates it when people say 'just relax and it will happen'. Well, sure it's annoying, but sometimes I think to myself what if I could 'just relax'. It can't hurt right?

I'm going to have to agree with you here. When I got pregnant before (but ended up having a MC), we weren't trying like we are now and were using the pull-out method which we knew wasn't fool proof, but had worked for 6 years. So we were both just relaxed and having fun sex, instead of what we are doing now which might still be fun, but is ultimately calculated. I prefer knowing what my body is doing now with temping and CM and all, but in the back of my head I keep thinking about the differences in approach.

My FFFC: I would like to come to chat every once in a while, but I'm afraid that I'll end up preferring to just read and laugh along much like I do on this board and won't be contributing enough to the chat and I will seem like a creeper.

I have only been on chat a handful of times but everyone has always been very welcoming and very nice. A lot of the time, people are doing chores or other things while chatting and aren't typing and contributing the whole time, so it wouldn't be weird for you to jump in, say hi and then just hang back for a bit. You are only viewed as a creeper if you don't identify yourself. Check it out!

MillerTime13 · November 2010

I skipped breakfast and was 5 minutes late to work because of a morning quickie with DH...and the only reason I initiated it was because I'm not sure if I Oed yet.

Board related:

I really, REALLY wish people would stop responding to MUD and stupid troll posts. Open it...read it...walk away.

Also, while I am a snark-aholic in real life, I think the board is sometimes too quick to jump in and call posters stupid and insult them. Guess what? I was that stupid once. I found this board when I was having phantom symptoms and thought I was KTFU, having no clue about how my body worked. I was smart enough to lurk first, but I think we've all been there. Just because you know what you know now doesn't meant those who don't deserve to be attacked.

Hey, half the time when I'm in chat I'm doing something else so I end up just reading along! Plus it can get really busy in there and difficult for everyone to talk all the time.

Ya Never Know · November 2010

I've said over and over this cycle that I would wait until at least 13dpo to test. I doubt I'll make it. As I'm driving home this afternoon, I have a feeling my car will miraculously end up in the drug store parking lot.

repen · November 2010

I am a little worried that the TTGPPS was not created by thebump. I wonder if someone else created it since it was done through blogger.

It definitely is not created by the bump.

Someone who posts here must have done it. Or it is a huge coincidence that both times TBPS was brought up, the poster TTGPPS chimed in.

It is not created by the bump. The Bump Post Secret boards are not created or controlled by the bump but rather by individuals who post here. There are no TOS rules or anything like that.

We could get DH's SA results back today, and I am terrified that they will tell us IVF is our only option. I don't know if we could afford it. I'm so scared that everything I'm hoping for is going to be taken away with the results of this test.

TTC is occupying every last inch of my brain. I don't want it to, but I'm getting so stressed out about it. It hurt to see "secondary infertility" written on my SHG (yes, not HSG) requisition form on Wednesday.

Today a co-worker asked me if anything was wrong because the last month I haven't seemed like my "chipper" self. I'm worried this stress is going to affect my work.

SoonToBeMamaP · November 2010

I'm getting frustrated by my long cycle and flat temperatures. I'm on CD66 and don't think I can call for progesterone because I need to have CD3 testing done. The waiting (and not knowing what's wrong) is killing me.

(((hugs))) to you! I know that wait is scary. I hope that you get good results back!

AmberZ2be · November 2010

I hate when people change their siggy right after they poas & it's a bfp. The reason? Because a lot of times I don't know who the hell they are without their old siggy, so I just close the post.

I took a sick day today to grade essays.

I have over 100 essays to grade, and I'm barely reading them. I'm more or less slapping a number on them. I feel bad, as I surely am not helping my students in any way, but with 35 kids in each of my four classes, I just can't keep up any more.

I could not agree with you more on this one. We were all clueless newbies at one point. Smile I just don't respond if I get particularly annoyed at any given post.

Mine is probably one that I'll be a minority on, but I don't really care. lol. I seriously don't see why certain terms are such a huge no no here. You say preggo, I say pregnant. You say BD, I say sex. It just seems really petty to me to point out every time someone used a word that you don't prefer to use yourself. ::shrugs::

I agree. I personally type fast. I don't always check or go back to clear up the error. This is a message board not a thesis.

I had just assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the person who initiated the clicky poll about it last week was the one in charge?

To me, it seems as creepy as all the post secret sites - TKPS, TNPS, and TBPS. Maybe a smidge creepier b/c it's focused only on our board, but standard in PS-land, IMO.

My car did this last night.. 11DPO and BFN this am.. no shocker. I really dont think this is the cycle... just a feeling.

I honestly do not get the big deal about preggo and preggers. I do not use the word myself (nor do I say KU), but I can't wait for someone to say "OMG I am so excited that you are preggers!!" I think the use of the word has nothing to do with class standing or education level. They are slang terms, period.

I often want to tell constant ventors and complainers to read "The Secret", "The Four Agreements", or attend a Landmark Workshop/Seminar but I know it is not my place. Plus usually if you suggest something to someone who is upset they will only find reasons why it won't work for them.

AmberZ2be · November 2010

Since we're flame free.....

1. I hate, hate, hate when people start to get scared something is wrong when you are on cycle 2,3,4

2. There are some threads I don't open because I know it will just frustrate me, others I open because I know I'll get a good chuckle

3. The only reason I came to work today is becuase we have a potato bar lunch

Yes. It makes me want to bang my head against a wall.

Thank you for this.

This may also be FFC but I love when regular posters make statements that go against the "norm" of the board. I think it helps the newbies and others feel like they don't have to be as scared to post.
