FFFC?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC?
I would still like to know what they are. Giving vague answers doesn't really help your case much.

Huh. I don't really know what to say about that.
It's a joke about where I went to undergrad and my husband did his PhD. If you think kids who go to MIT are social lepers, you should visit CMU sometime. It also probably explains why I don't encounter name changes, facebook users or god. Most of my friends are engineers or scientists who don't get married until their 30s. Like I said, it's who you know, and we obviously know different people.
IKR? I noticed that at the start and was like "Oh ok. All the pieces are falling into place."
hmm my husband is a biomedical engineer that went to hopkins and doesnt use fb. i can tell you with certainty that its not because he uses other social media. i also changed my last name. oh and we're agnostic. you just want to sound elitist.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
Well, I work at a university with these engineers, scientists and PhD people you speak of and several of them believe in god, use facebook and take their spouse's names. I think it is who you choose to be with, not just who you happen to be around. I think it is pretty ridiculous to say because some of us are educated we wouldn't do these things. You are one weird woman.
Services like Twitter, Tumblr and Posterous, though Tumblr's code is about as sh1tty as the bump's.
I work for female engineers. The ones that are married use their maiden name professionally and their husband's name in their regular daily life. This is because they'd already become known in the field prior to marriage and preferred to have their pre-marriage professional work to be connected to their post-marriage professional work.

Everytime you say this, all I hear is "Obviously my friends are superior to you."
Because we couldn't possibly know people who fit this description.
Dude, Twitter is complete garbage. It doesn't even have a business model that can sustain itself.
Every time you say something to try to make yourself sound superior, you end up just sounding like a little whiny spoiled child.
Even if you do know "different people," I don't understand why you would think that people who change their name, believe in God, or use facebook are "bizarre." I don't use facebook, but I certainly don't consider my peers who use facebook to be bizarre. Given the large number of people who do these things, it seems like a fairly standard, non-weird choice.
We really are different. I would much prefer FB, Twitter and other forms of social media go the way of the do-do. People need to hone their social skills, not replace them with nameless anonymous posts with no hope of ever looking up from their Smartphone/iPad/whatever to actually interact with humans that are sharing the same air they are.

This. My co-worker and his wife hyphenated because she already had a paper published under her maiden name. (She is working on a psychology degree, I believe.)
You're reading a lot into it then. I'm not saying those things are bad, just that I don't encounter them often.
If I were to be elitist, I'd say that I'm better than you because I grew up in Cuyahoga County, not Summit County.
This post almost killed me. Seriously. I laughed so hard I choked on my water and couldn't breathe.
Me me me!
I was in my 30s when I got married and I changed my name when I got married, believe in God and I use fb.
Clearly growing up closer to the lake that caught fire gives you good reason to feel superior.
You didn't say those things were bad. You said they were all antequated and that you and your friends apparently have made better life selections.
Wow, this is already super long...
I have been 'snowed in' since Tuesday. I'm supposed to be working from home and I have done approximately 1 hour of work in the last 4 days. The Peanut's regular daycare is approximately 4 houses away and I could walk him down there and get some actual work done, but I don't want to. That didn't stop me from whining to DH last night that I haven't gotten any work done because DS has been clingy. I am such a pathetic loser
I know, right? But of the eight close girlfriends I have here in town, five are married with their own names and none believes in god. I met them all through running, too, not the Society of Atheist Women Who Keep Their Names.
Since Tuesday when the storm started, I been sleeping on the air Mattress in my living room.
I brought the air mattress down and set it up in our living room, been there ever since. in fact that's where I'm at right now. I've dealt w/ food posion, a sick baby, a sick dog, snow, the ER this week, so I see nothing wrong w/ having the air matress set up and being lazy this week..
Now I just think you're fvcking with us.

CG, are you new to TB? It's called backpeddling. ;-)
You know, I think we've just discovered the answer to this big old riddle: She has no friends... Probably because she says completely condescending things and then claims innocence.
For the record, I regularly use both my maiden and married names and am agnostic but I'm not marching myself around acting like anyone who isn't like me and my 3 elitist friends is a backwards mouth-breather.
Ha! The thing is, it doesn't seem like she's backpeddling. She's saying the exact same thing she said earlier with no real backing down or changing her story.
There's just something about what she's saying and how she's saying it that makes me think she just posted that stuff for sh!ts and giggles to see how we would react.

I am an Engineer. I use Facebook, am agnostic and took MH's name.
But CINEMA! She didn't say it like it was a bad thing. We must be just reading into it. She just knows people. OTHER people who are not us or our friends, or 90% of the fukkin' population.
It's us--clearly. All in our heads for sure!
Touche', MSC. Touche'.
LOL!

I'm an engineer. I got married when I was 29. I changed my name. I believe in God and I use FB. I guess I missed the thesis presentation on this new fangled way of thinking.
Oh trust me, I don't expect my life to be the same after having DS. And I admit that we are lucky to have a good sleeper now. Part of that was luck, part of it is our being consistent about watching his cues and developing a routine that works for us. His first few months were hell. And I know that his sleep will change again, like this week when he has been up super early. So I am pretty realistic about no night being guaranteed.
But I get frustrated when people complain about how crappy their kid is sleeping when they are contributing to the problem. Don't tell me your child is tired when you deliberately keep them up way past their bedtime or that you got them accustomed to sleeping on your chest and now 4 months later your back hurts and you are tired of the couch. And if your child needs certain props to sleep, that's fine. But when what you are doing is preventing your child from getting the sleep that s/he needs and ultimately developing self-soothing techniques, I don't think that is good.
I guess it's just you and me.
FBing, NAME CHANGING, GOD BELIEVING ENGINEERS UNITE!!

Also, CG, you used the word antiquated. Heehee
Sook - The Young Riders?!?! Dying over here
I am trying to catch up on posts here and V is sleeping on my chest. I am trying so hard not to laugh! Loves it!
(P.S. I guess my husband and I are the "special" ones...he is a comp sci dude/software engineer and we've been married for 5+ years, have a kid AND I took his last name...GASP!) He also has a FB account. Twitter is teh suck.We are not into the whole god thing, but wow. Just wow.
