Re: Fffc
Well, I'm not a super well known poster, but I defnitely recognize you!
Even if she 100% knew her cousin's friend had HIV/AIDS it still doesn't matter that they are gay. Sexuality is irrelevant. And even if her cousin's friend was her cousin's sexual partner it doesn't mean he also has HIV. And you can't get HIV from sticking your hand in someone's mouth.
But, the OP knows that and admits she knew it was irrational. So I'm just fartin'.
Yet most people disrespected George W. Bush when he was president.
I agree with you though. No matter WHO is president, whether you agree with them or not, deserves respect. I think when people talk about the President, they should always refer to them as the President before their name. (President Obama, President Bush, etc)
So yesterday I had mexican food for lunch and was farting up a storm last night around DH.
Well today I am eating leftovers and can already feel the storm brewing down below. Thing is, I am going out with 3 SILs tonight and a cousin in law and I am starting to fear that I may have a fart cannon in the car while driving there ( I am carpooling)
Here's to hoping.
Please do it and more than once. My niece used to work for the local rape crisses center and was a child and teen rape educator. Her daughter has known and follows the best "this is my body" song since she could talk. Iwill teach P that song as soon as possible. I may even have her teach it to me soon and we will just add it to our daily activities.
I never wash my fruits or vegetables (unless there is visible dirt, and then I only do because I dont want grit in my mouth). I don't know if I'll change this when A starts eating solids.
I get jealous when people post about bed sharing. A hates to lay in bed with us and will only put up with it for a few minutes.
.....yew kin juge all yew wana bish! U... dUn... kNoW... mAi LyFe
I'm kidding, btw.
Haha, I buy "healthy" cereal for myself, and buy cereal like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Golden Grahams for DH because I know he loves those and won't touch my cereal...butttttt I eat his cereal all.the.time. I just ate the last of the Golden Grahams this morning.
Same goes with ice cream. I buy stuff that I know he doesn't like, such as coffee flavored, and he gets stuff like peanut butter cup...and when mine runs out, or if I feel like peanut butter cup ice cream, oh well! He needs to learn not to like such tasty things if he doesn't want them to get eaten :P
I think I interpreted that post as her implying that her cousin's "friend" was more than a friend. Which is why I thought she was mentioning that her cousin was gay. Sexuality seemed relevant because if her cousin was straight then why would she even think that her cousin's "friend" had hiv or aids. Does that make any sense? And I know you can't get HIV from sticking your hand in someone's mouth, that is just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard (well.. read).
Having said all that, I do think that the original post was stupid in general (because of what I highlighted in your post), just not necessarily her mentioning sexuality specifically. There was a whole lotta jumping to conclusions in the OP, even more than a jump to conclusions mat would provide.
I thought she was saying that the baby put the man's finger in her mouth, which I believe could be a problem if he had a cut. However, I agree that I saw no need to even mention that her cousin is gay.
Also, people with AIDS can be in a relationship with someone without spreading the virus. I highly recommend the book My Pet Virus. It's a memoir by a guy who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion when he was 11 and he's happily married and they just protect against it. He has a great sense of humor, so it's a humorous book.
I'm super jealous. A) I don't have a facebook to set me up with awesome deals/trades
There is no where that sells cloth locally, I have to exclusively order online unless I am on the other side of the state
What dipes did you score? Because you mentioned color I immediately thought the BG artist series, but I don't know why I assumed that.
I didn't think she was from Parenting, I just wasn't sure if I missed an intro. But then I noticed she had lots of posts so I was double mind flucked. That post last night that was suddenly filled with randoms confused the hell outta me. Now when I see someone that I don't recognize I'm like WHAT?! Where am I!?
Oooh, if you're open to used, you should totally create a FB just to join the B/S/T groups. They are AWESOME. I've gotten amazing deals. This mom just so happened to be local. It was like Christmas.
They're Applecheeks. Those ladies are smart with their business plan in releasing "limited edition" colors and then "discontinuing" colors. The demand is crazy for them. They're genius. The diapers retail for $19 new, but once a color is discontinued they'll got for at least $30/each USED.
ETA: I actually have a separate FB page that doesn't have my real name or photo on it that I use for this sort of thing. I use it primarily to communicate with people from my YouTube channel without crossing paths with my personal/real FB. It's surprisingly common. There's a whole community of these "fake" FB pages that people use. I know a few Bumpies have them and they just use their Bump name as their FB name to remain "anonymous".
The spelling kills me. Not to be mean, but one person here spells ridiculous wrong every time and I cringe.
My MIL uses text speak and I always want to respond to her texts by correcting them. She is 60 years old and should know better.
That's awesome! Perhaps my FFFC-if I found a buyer for 30+ each I would probably resell them. Maybe not if I really liked the colors though haha.
I'm going to keep them and use them, but I would not be opposed to reselling them if the market goes up again.
Btw, BG 4.0 was our previous favorite but I really love the fit I get with Applecheeks and have sold a few of my BGs to replace with AC.
I think it might be me. I never even bother spell checking on here. I never proofread either. Like, ever ever.
I'm definitely not talking about you Dixee, and not someone that just misspells a particular word routinely (though that is annoying).
H and I often sleep in separate rooms. We sleep soooo much better apart. We sleep together more now because I started having panic attacks at night post partum, and having him in the same room helps.
I'm always embarrassed to admit H sleeps in the guest room frequently, but we're happy! And clearly we made a baby
Now I'm all self-concious it might be me! Waaaah. Am I the horrible speller?
FunkyMonkey you know you have to name names, right?!
And I'll have to try Applecheeks. I love our BG but don't LOVE our Kawaii as much. I am trying to phase them out.
Thought the same thing. Is it me? I'm a horrible speller, but I work hard to check my spelling. Not because I care what other people think, but because miss spelling can change the meaning of what you are saying and distract from your point. As far as people complaining about spelling, that bugs me.
Edit to add:
Maybe you should post who the bad speller(s) are. It seems that there are people who are now worried and if they know they may improve.
I looooove our Kawaii! We ordered 4 from Jillian's Drawers and loved them, but they have been out of stock for weeks and I'm itching to buy more!
Jack Be Natural stocks Kawaii and they have free shipping (that's really fast!). I love their customer service.
Really!? I have ONLY had leaks in Kawaii, not once in BG. But they fit every baby differently
I know i dont type with apostrophes. I just type like lightning and have no time for them.
I will try to add them.
My right boob produces way more milk than lameo lefty, so most of my bumping is done left handed on my phone. I'm pretty satisfied if I only have 2 or 3 typos.
I saw so many people spelling it rediculous that I thought it was joke at first.
FFC - I can't stand when people say 'ridic'. I have a few friends who say it in real life and it's like nails on a chalkboard.
I'm a terrible speller (the spell check function doesnt work) and admit my grammar isnt always perfect, but to be honest, I couldNT care less. I cant be bothered to worry about every missing apostrophe and if the E goes before the I (or vise versa) when I am posting on an internet board. I get it though... pet peeves. Everyone has them.
However, I do make sure I spell check and proofread when it comes to important things like work documents and emails.
Mine is that when we go somewhere outside the house, A is dressed in adorable outfits and bows. When we're home, she hates getting dressed, so 80 of the time, she hangs out naked in a diaper or pajamas. She's happier that way and so am I.
It's now a law in NJ, for your dog to have a seatbelt on, or you will get fined.
We don't need any new cloth diapers but now I have to get an Apple Cheeks! I'm also wondering what all the fuss is about the RagaBabe cloth diapers. Have you ever tried those?
I am big time guilty of random ellipses, but it is what it is and I'll gladly shoulder judgment from that rather than a host of other awful things I could be doing.
