Re: *~*~*~UO Thursday*~*~*~
Well according to a lot of people green = crunchy. You know, hippie tree huggers who want to save the planet? They're crunchy. Also, people who try to preserve our planet tend also be the ones who favor organic and natural foods, it all goes hand in hand.
And yes, it is okay to think differently (hint hint) ...no one who is "crunchy" lives on soy, twigs & berries.

I completely agree!
FFFC= flame free Friday confessions
GBCB= goodbye cruel bump
I probably should have explained myself in detail that I didn't mean green people... to me they're different. It's ok that we think differently, it'll ease the puppies and rainbows effect for a little while in this board.
I don't think anyone would WANT my thoughts on betas as I've never had them drawn and have NO IDEA what "normal" is. But come ask me anyway - I'm sure Dr.Google (who I'll ask) is more reliable than your own OB...
I just remember you for the original "there will be snark"
I was thinking these similar things. I also like to lurk the other BMB boards near us, March and now May, and it's funny how March is ahead so they are talking about making public announcements since their exiting 1st tri. May right now (besides the barrage of intro posts) also has ever other post about how many sticks everyone has pee'd on. I laughed, and then I realized we on April BMB were doing the same thing at first. I think it's ok to make these kinds of statements, but maybe not new threads, just include them in your ticker change day or something since that seems to be the best place for it? I'm sure it'll be something new every few weeks, haha!
This. It's like, thanks for reminding me how awful I feel and that it is after noon and I'm still wearing my robe, yet you feel like you're frolicking in a field of wild daisies and you're worried if it is "OK". GAH.
Stick around, you'll learn them all soon enough.
And to add on, because I seem to be the add-oner today, nothing and I repeat nothing is actually flame free. Including unpopular opinions. If you can't take the heat, don't post it.
I was a little off, but close! Here's the post.
Bwahahaha! That post just got super funny, now that I know what those acronyms mean! Thank you!
I've just never understood why it was so hard to type it out. We're not all on 12 key cell phones anymore (and if you are, you're not using it to post on the bump). That qwerty keyboard on our phones and computers is REALLY easy to use. Just push the buttons and watch all the pretty letters show up on the screen. Most people born after 1980 are doing it at 60 word/minute or better.
Yes, there is a little double standard of the expectation to be fluent and skilled in both English and TB acronyms . . . but it's definitely not acceptable to lack proper grammar, spelling or punctuation.
Amen. This is a first tri board (for now)--we're all nauseas. Every time I read others' stories I feel even more nauseas than before. haha
Young and in Love.

You don't have to use them when you type if you don't want to. I'm not always a huge fan either, but you're not going to change the temperature of the board. Adapt & survive or resist and be eaten.... I think that's how history says this will play out
Truth.
Feel superior if you want as you type everything out, no one will judge you [if you properly spell/punctuate
], but it's standard course to use acronyms.
hehehe I forgot about the GBCB posts...
Like I said...unpopular opinion. :-)
Neither one really bothers me, but in response to the bolded words, I think the worry from not having any symptoms, and I will speak for myself here, is that I recently experienced a MMC and had no indication that anything was wrong EXCEPT for lack of symptoms. Everyone told me I was one of the "lucky" ones and that I should consider myself lucky that I didn't feel like sh*t all day long. Turns out, lack or loss of symptoms can be an issue, at least in my case -so I get why women post here looking for reasurrance. Personally, I feel better mentally when I feel like crap physically. At least I feel like I'm pregnant.
Mirrored...we're going to be very, very good friends.
because it's easier to type m/s than "morning sickness" or u/s than "ultrasound", or MH/DH, my H rather than "my husband", BMB rather than "Birth Month Board". It's less keystrokes and faster.
It's just the way message boards work. I've been a part of several different ones over the years (quitting smoking, my son's BMB, a vegetarian forum, wedding planning, CD'ing (oops, cloth diapering), TTC etc and not a single one of them was without acronyms.
A lot of them I can figure out on my own but if you don't know one, just ask someone.

Corny puns and double entendres make my heart happy.
I've been on TK, TN, and TB for some time now and have a hard time separating it all from RL (real life) computer communication. Sometimes when I'm typing emails work related or personal emails, I have to stop myself from using abbreviations.
I was going to post that I think Obama is worthless and a little bit scary, but I was afraid.
You are so not alone. I've internally noted a few 'contenders' as well.
Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I am just curious as to why you consider him "scary?" I could understand why one would say "useless", but I don't get "scary"...Elaborate please, I'm interested...
Ha! I'll bet you have some amazing acronyms
