FFFC

Re: FFFC
I think this was a FFC a while back, and some poster, can't remember who, got ripped a new one about a carseat from Target or something. Maybe it was on another board.
Yep me too. I just followed through at home with what they were doing.
DD2 hid behind between her crib and rocking chair after a bath, and peed all over the floor. I could actually hear it hitting the floor. She looked at me like she knew she was doing something not good. Iwasthisclose to putting a diaper on her when she ran and hid.
At least its a wood floor and cleaned up easily. A rug or carpet might have pissed me off.
I remember that, too. I think it was another board someone linked in here.
To be fair, it wasn't a twinkie she got for free, it was a car seat ...
I still haven't sent out thank you cards from the girls' birthday in March. I meant to, but with my mom and DH's shift change, I never got the chance. I am thinking of making a generic thank you card from Snapfish or something. Otherwise, it won't get done.
I feel douchey about it.
Oh, oh that's very different and extremely unethical.
Thanks! I know you are probably right and that they do care enough to want good things for me.
I want to think it was the actual car seat. But I don't remember. It had something to do with the poster ending up with a free car seat from Target, and she tried to argue it was Target's fault or sumshit.
YES, he will be there. She's meeting all of them. I'm not even there and I am freaking the fu?k out.
(Sorry, had to edit due to filters on my work computer.)
I get nervous vicariously through other people all the time. Like my heart starts beating faster even though it is happening to someone else. So cool.
It is a big reason that I am content with one and don't have a desire for another baby. We hated each other the first couple of months and while we have worked on things and are better it is still different. I am afraid of what another baby would do to us.
(((Hugs))) To both of you.
LUCKY
That is so awesome!
Thanks. Back atcha!
On the period tip.
I can't go to the bathroom without an entourage. DDs were playing in the bathroom and I had to change the tamp. I sat down, because I didn't want to yank it out in front of DD1, who sees EVERYTHING. She pushes my legs apart and says, "Mommy, why are you making a doody with string in it?" Not wanting to have the period talk with my 3 yr old, I let her think that I, in fact, ate string, and was pooping it out.
Now she has to check all the time to see if I ate more string.
This sounds hilarious. How did your dogs feel about it.
My dog seems to think the vacuum is a demon sent from hell.
My guess is she's referring to Packer.
You can probably buy it there, but it's much, much cheaper on Amazon or ebay.
Do you have pugs? (I'm guessing from your avatar). With a super short fur, like that you might do better with one of those rubber grooming gloves. IMO, the furminator works better on dogs and cats with a fluffy undercoat, like my siamese mix. It doesn't really grab the fur on my weim because her coat is so short.
That's great, have we talked about our dogs having the same name before?
Ours is a beagle, so no more beagles for me, haha. I forgot to add that he frequently barfs up the trash he pilfers in the middle of the night onto our comforter. Fu'cker.
I love how you always show up in these threads and drop these oddball one-liner confessions.
Shedding is weird. Our first pet was a long haired cat, which I assumed must be the worst shedder ever, but second only to our wire-haired terrier, she was the least sheddy of our pack. Our short-haired cat and our super-short-haired dog absolutely shed the most and I was definitely not expecting that.
I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that pet hair will be on every surface of my house forever.
I hate when I open this up, thinking I'm going to find something juicy in 180+ posts, and it's about dogs shedding.
Now, I have to actually go do housework and what not.
Life's tough.
SCANDAL!
I tried!
I'll try again, although this may be more of an UO. I'm a creepy mega lurker on a lot of Bump boards. If your board is receiving daily, or almost-daily, callouts for being too nasty/snarky, the board is probably too nasty and snarky.
And I'm not talking about parenting. I think this board is full of entertaining folks and snark is rarely overdone.
I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:

Last weekend it was super rainy so we decided to take Betsy to see Despicable Me 2. I bought the tickets in advance online. When we got to the theater, it was POURING. Halfway across the parking lot, the wind killed my umbrella and I had to run with Betsy the rest of the way. By the time we made it inside we were both as drenched as if we'd just jumped in a swimming pool fully clothed. We should've just gone home. But instead I tried to dry us under the hand dryer in the bathroom. The noise scared Betsy so badly that she bolted from the bathroom and across the lobby before we could catch her. So then I made DH hold her in her underwear outside of the bathroom while I dried off her dress, my shirt and my hair under the hand dryer. Then we were all sightly damp and uncomfortable for the entire movie. And it wasn't even very good.
My confession is that I knew we should have just gone home immediately after getting drenched. But I had already paid $27 for tickets so I made us stay.
Going to a small local music fest. Drivin N Cryin are the headliners, the rest of the bill is mostly local country, alt-country or southern rock acts. There's also going food trucks and a burlesque show. Should be fun.
We're not planning on getting sh!tfaced or anything, but lately, if I have more than two adult beverages in a night or stay up past about midnight, I feel like poo the next day, so I figured I'd just use a vacation day, rather than coming in and being a grump all day. In my 20s I wouldn't have thought anything of doing this on a work night, but now it's like a big deal. I'm such an old lady!
Assuming your Dh drove, why didn't he just drop you guys off at the door??
Thanks!
You can't really get dropped at the door because the theater fronts this big open courtyard thing (it's in an outdoor mall type place). It wasn't much more of a walk from the side lot and since I had an umbrella I thought we'd be fine. Not so much.
