Lets hear those confessions ladies! Flame Free Surprise

And on a side note WOOHOO to everyone that has a long weekend!!!

amandaloren · May 2011

I see absolutely nothing wrong with piercing a babys ears or painting their toenails (as long as they aren't sucking on their feet). I think it looks cute and if the parents want to its their decision. It's not like either is permanent.

I'm SUCH an ass rider when I drive! I know its terrible and when someone does it to me I get sooo mad, but I still do it! lol

LOL, I feel ya. I have terrible road rage and get pissed with slow idiot drivers. And if someone cuts me off I"m not afraid to flip them the bird. If I have to wait in line because the lane it merging so does everyone else. I have been known to put my truck in the middle of the two lanes so people won't try to cut ahead of everyone trying to merge who have waited their turn. Devil

I have purposefully dodged old friends that wanted to get together with me, or stopped from making new friends, if they were skinnier and shorter than me. I'm not a giant, ('m 5' 7.5") but one of my very good friends from way back when has been wanting to get together with me again for a LONG time. I never commit cause she's 5' 1" and tiny. I feel like Goliath's sister next to her. I feel horrible about it, but I can't help it. Embarrassed

Pina · May 2011

When I go food shopping this weekend, I will be on my THIRD 80oz bottle of ketchup since becoming pregnant. That's a lot of freaking ketchup this little man is making me eat. Surprise

I am just curious, but how is ear-piercing not permanent? I have left earrings out of my 1st holes for years and they haven't remotely grown back in. And, same with the 2nd holes. It was the 3rd holes that grew back in.

I am not disagreeing with you on the issue necessarily or flaming...but I am just wondering how this isn't a permanent change?

i Do this too!! And I can't stand people who can't use their blinkers!!! Really?!? Is it that difficult to lift the lever up or down? Really?! Then, maybe you shouldn't be driving. I can't stand stupid, inconsiderate drivers!

Yeah I am a 'merge laner' too! I stay in the merge lane until the very end Embarrassed You have to around here! The DMV area traffic is horrible and people cannot drive! (sorry if your in the dmv area! but if you are I'm sure you can relate!)

I don't see it as permanent since you don't have to wear earrings if you don't want to. Yes, the holes may not close up, but there is nothing forcing you to wear earrings if you don't want to.

FWIW, I don't see anything wrong with piercing a baby's ears as an infant. We would have done it if we were having a girl.

lily87 · May 2011

I have had a donut every day for 3 weeks now I would normally justify this by saying that after the weight loss- my dr. said it was ok to eat anything that I can keep down. Ok, yes, this is true. But, the fact is, I tried donuts and not something healthier. lol. I need to try some better things. But, once I find something I can keep down, I just eat it non-stop.

Also, this week I had to be at a 6 hour meeting every day until today, with minimal breaks...well instead of the donuts...I bought a bag of munchkins and ate them from under the table.

I don't think every time you get something pierced that the hole stays. I guess I didn't think of others lol I'm just thinking of my experience where having holes that closed up after having them pierced for a long time.

Me too with the ketchup, seriously! Largely because all I was eating was potatoes for a while...but I seriously love it right now and would put it on anything. My doc said that the vinegar helps settle the stomach with m/s...so if you had m/s- maybe that got you on the ketchup kick.

Ok, this makes sense. I probably think of it as permanent because mine don't close, lol.

lmjt · May 2011

My grandma's friend (who is a bigoted old windbag, that I despise) bought J a plastic fishing pole with fish toy yesterday when she went to see my grandma. J is walking around smacking my furniture with the pole, and I seriously want to go shove the thing up this lady's a$$.

Ok I know you mean that you put the bag under the table and would sneak one up to your mouth every now and then but I prefer to picture you crouched under the table hovering over the bag like a doggy protecting its food.

lovelyophelia · May 2011

I seriously do not understand why women worry about every little study that comes along while you are pregnant. Being a parent and worrying may kill them.

MandiNewMommy · May 2011

I used my being pregnant card twice this week! Once to get out of a pampered chief party and last sat to get out of a work get together.

Pina · May 2011

Oh, and I can't stand all the debates on here that the poster "proves" their point by backing it with "research". It's great to be informed, but if you feel strongly about something, you will be able to find research that supports your opinion somewhere on the net. Its annoying to see threads turn into a pissing match to prove who is more educated.

Coach_Ali · May 2011

We purchased our carseat from BRU with a 20% off coupon that we had last week, but left it on the registry so that if anyone wants to get it for us, we can return that one for full price and use the money toward other things that we may not get. We have not told a soul that we bought it already.

littlecookie · May 2011

Sometimes at night I'm too lazy to brush/floss and I just use mouthwash.

I say y'all and fixin and I call this LO bubba. I eat at restaurants that don't provide forks and knives because the plates look like this and you use your hands.

And, I like it that people turn their noses up at the south and its backward ways because it keeps my cost of living low.

kleu9 · May 2011

I have absolutely no "real" work to do today and all of the leaders are out of town for an off-site conference...so I am sitting here in my jeans and old navy zip up at my desk with about 5 different baby shopping websites up, my ipod playing, some thank you cards out that I need to write...yeah you get the picture.

Lol...at points I felt like that. Someone asked for one and I shared...but I really wanted to tell him he was taking the donut hole from my baby! lol

Coach_Ali · May 2011

I agree with this. And I would pierce our little girls ears in a heartbeat if DH were okay with it. He's way too opposed to it for me to win that one though.

We did something similiar. I found the Britax convertible car seat on albeebaby.com for $80 less so my mom bought it as one of my shower gifts. But I'm leaving the carseat on my registry to do exacty what you mention, or to actually keep it so we have a second one down the road and don't have to buy another when he grows out of the infant bucket seat.

amandaloren · May 2011

I think its ridiculous to ask internet strangers what you think of your potential baby name. When you get down to it, its yours and Dh's decision...nobody elses.

I also wonder why the hell people post certain things on this board. Like when a person with 30 posts who has a ticker maybe but no pics to recoginize this poster comes on and says "Oh It's a boy!" Um, sorry but who are you? Seriously I really don't care that a stranger that has never introduced themselves to us is having a boy. congrats

Well, Pina...I understand where you're coming from. But research shows that after recent studies of how to properly debate an opinion, it is best to provide the other party a source in which they can establish their grounds...I found these studies on www.you've-got-too-much-spare-time-on-your-hands-to-hunt-this-down-on-the-internet.com Stick out tongue ha

Oops, I meant to quote the original ear piercing quote. I'm slow today.

Can I add a second? It just came to me.

I really hate it when people eat weird, smelly items in meetings or class- anywhere where people are confined and have no choice but to be stuck, subjected to your smelly food.

Especially, when this is a 1-2 hour meeting. Come on you can wait. (FWIW- my donut consumption yesterday was a 6 hour meeting).

But, my example, is during this meeting all of the sudden I smelled hard-boiled eggs. I turned behind me and the lady running the meeting actually had a carton of a dozen eggs, hard boiled, and was cracking them off the side of a desk, shelling them and eating them!!! Aside from the smell, this was just plain weird. The next day, she was ripping deli meat from the bag and eating it with her hands. At least bring the eggs shelled...who cracks them off a desk?

Obviously, she is on atkins or south beach...and I respect that. But, that is a weird thing to do in a meeting. And, I just think it is wrong to subject people to smelly things like hard boiled eggs or tuna in a classroom or meeting!

marriedtoeric · May 2011

I totally know that my BFF is throwing me a surprise shower. First I found out by overseeing a thread in DH's email (we leave email open at home most of the time), then BFF told me she was going to throw one, but gave me a different date, so to see if that was the case, I went back into the thread and found out they're telling me it's one date but it's really the week before and they're coming up with a (really good) fake reason to hang out the weekend before.

(No, I'm not going to say anything to give up that I know, I'd feel terrible! I just hate surprises that make me the center of attention. I feel really lucky to have a BFF and DH who would go to all this trouble to make me feel so special though!)

Yep. And I say this as someone who bums around the naming board. Hey, I may not need people's opinions on my awesome, awesome name, but I'm happy to give them mine on whatever trainwreck they've concocted if they ask for it ;-)

On that note, the idea of "sibsets" is God-awful to me. Like it matters if your kid's names "go together," whatever the hell that means. First of all: they're children, not accessories. They don't have to match. Second of all: chances are, the names you like will be similar, since you like them both. Third of all: unless you name one kid Isabella Sophia and another Fartface McWeenerbratzen, your kids names won't clash.

Agreed on the sibsets. Not to mention...most of these people will spend most of their lives away from their siblings- in work or school, in other circles. So why does it matter? You only use their names together while they are little.

I would totally do the same thing! While some people may say you're ruining the joy in the surprise...I say...Umm, there will be numerous photos taken that I would like to preserve and I would like to look well put together for the occassion!

Pina · May 2011

Last one before I go out shopping again (guess that's a confession in itself).....

I hate how my baby belly has become a safety hazard lately. I know, it's only going to get worse. Several times a day I find myself bumping into things and poking my belly with corners and chairs.... it's becoming quite annoying. I actually have to lift my belly up and over the sink to brush my teeth without spitting on myself. My DH caught me doing it the other day and found it quite comical....

Traycee1242 · May 2011

I still give my 21 month old a bath in the infant bathtub in our kitchen sink... It's so ridiculous, he's way too big for it... But our bathroom has a claw foot tub and it KILLS my back to bathe him in there. A shower for me is one of the few luxuries I have being alone and refuse to share it... So baby tub it is, lol. DH travels so often its hard for me to give him this job.

I had no clue that people were worried about name clashing among their offspring. Who comes up with this stuff?
