Coming from a waitress of nearly 10 years...I think if you are so particular about your food/beverages/beverage garnishes that a lemon, or lack thereof, is going to make or break your entire meal, you have no business eating in a resaurant. Flame me if you must, but part of letting somebody else prepare your meal is relinquishing a tiny bit of control. If you are unable to do so, eat at home.

Long story short- it's TB's fault.

Isn't it always?

Yes

Let me start off by saying I'm 100 percent straight, but I think women are more attractive than men. If there is a good looking couple walking by, I notice the woman first. I just realized this last week. DH should shiiiit ifI I told him this! No, DH, I will never have a threesome!

Well if we are being honest here, I think it is phony and fake for those that biitch about a possible drive-by and I think they do it just to up there post count and try to fit in so they are more a part of this "community" I don't believe for one second any one of you would not congratulate a total stranger if they said they were pregnant while out shopping, dinning, on a plane, wherever.

Now, I've never 'beeped' at a drive-by, nor will I ever, so I'm not one of the people being biitched out here. But I just wanted to say that I tried to imagine myself in the above situation just now. It went like this:

Random: "I'm pregnant!"

Me: "O...kay..."

or

Random: "I'm pregnant!"

Me: "That's... nice..."

or

Random: "I'm pregnant!"

Me: "Con...gratulations...?"

In summary, I guess that I'm a biitch to random people I don't know and I speak with a lot of ellipses.

That's all. No real story here.

Ha ha ha! I thought the same thing.

My FFFC: I don't get why 3T has basically become another IF board? I understand siggy warnings, ticker warnings, etc on the IF board, but not the 3T board. The SIF board is fairly dead, but in order for someone to post on 3T who already has LOs, they have to walk on eggshells/post all sorts of warnings so people don't get upset or offended. I thought the IF board was for the "escape" from that sort of stuff?
It is kind of my understanding that IF is more for people who have moved in to IVF treatments while TTTC is the rest of us with issues TTC, most of whom are all TTC number 1. I will say for myself personally there are days I dont want to see kids in siggys and dont come to the TTGP board and will just read what is on the TTTC board and participate there. Just my 2 cents for what it is worth.

That's how I understand it too and I feel the same way. Some days, I'm feeling good and am not as sensitive about seeing tickers and baby pictures... other days, not so much. I really appreciate that the 3T board is a place where I can go on a bad day and get support without being blindsided. It's not that I'm bitter or jealous... it's just that I'm human and some days I'm struggling to keep it together.

By this logic, someone with a life-threatening food allergy isn't allowed to go out to eat.

Don't they deserve a break from the kitchen, just like everyone else?

There is a humongous difference between going into anaphylactic shock and getting upset that someone put a lemon in your water. In the first case those people are always very careful to make the wait staff aware of their restrictions and in the second, it seems they can't be bothered to specifically request "no lemon".

I never said it ruined my meal. It ruins my drink.

Some people have odd allergies that a lot of people don't think about. Maybe not anaphylactic shock bad, but still bad enough to cause rashes and such. When I worked at a local pizza place, one of our regular customers was allergic to oregano. One of the other waitressed didn't put it on the ticket, and the lady ended up breaking out in hives before they left.

This. Personally I can't stand when they fill my drink 3/4 of the way with ice, and only a tiny bit of coke. Do I get annoyed when they do it? No. I just try my best to remember to request no ice. They are not mind readers. 

I do specifically request no lemon. I don't throw a hissy fit or anything. I remove the lemon if one ends up in my drink. But it makes me cranky for a minute. I certainly don't reduce tip for it either.
The ice issue is a little different. Most restaurants instruct servers to fill the glass to the top with ice and then add beverage. It's frustrating from the server's POV too, makes for constant refills.

Again, allergic reactions are very different from "not liking" something. This shouldn't be a hard concept.

You are right there. I'm not arguing that. It was the way that OP worded it that irritated me. Maybe I'm just moody because of CD1. I apologize, curlz.

CMSullivan326 · May 2013

Undies are twisted up tiiiight today, boy. Way too much seriousness for me.

And FWIW, I will probably never visit an RE or seek any kind of testing, IUI or IVF. Because of that, as long as we are TTC, this board is where I will stay. I've been trying well over a year but because I'm not seeking any "help" I don't feel like I'd fit in on any other TTC board here.

mama&baby · May 2013

I recently started a new position.. i work in a building with 19 floors. On each floor there is one set of bathroom (obv male and female) with only two stalls in each. Therefore, there is obviously a bigger likelihood that you may run into a coworker there. My govt. agency takes up 3 floors. I have started going up or down a few levels each time I need to take a dump so I don't do so in the same bathroom with someone I work with. Some of the other floors have their bathrooms locked, so I'm still familiarizing myself with the open floors in case of "emergency".

DS and I laid on the couch and cuddled, watched TV, and ate pizza for dinner last night. Nothing educational and nothing nutritious. I also let him stay up till 10. Completely irresponsible but it was fun!
I see nothing flameworthy/irresponsible about this. It did, however, make me roll my eyes that you think it is both of those things.

I am a working mom, so my chance to see my kid, teach him things, and make sure he eats well is after work. IMO, I didn't really do my job last night is all.

I'm sorry my confession wasn't flameful enough to entertain you today, I guess. Huh?

quidditchcapn1120 · May 2013

Also, I definitely DO read the 2WW and Waiting to O posts- whichever one I happen to belong to at that point in time. I think they are fun and interesting, and I love chart stalking people. I couldn't care less about post count so it's definitely not a way to up it for me.

It's "I couldn't care less."

My FFFC is that I don't get the sentiment that someone else's BFP doesn't take away from the number of available babies or whatnot.

At least from my perspective, it's not that there is one less baby available for conception, it's that you weren't next. After congratulating IRL friends for their BFPs, the thought that I hope I'm next is always there. When I'm not, I'm disappointed. I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with that. It's only human to be jealous or disappointed when things aren't going as planned. As long as bounce back and move forward, I don't get the big deal.
