    @Sanguar, Haven't you been around forever? I'm tired of the drive by posters though, I feel like we should make a siggy sticker for the regs and semi active peeps, just to regain some of the feel for the board.
    That would be so helpful! I am having so much trouble remember if someone is a reg or not, especially the people without signatures.

    I guess I am a little less concerned or annoyed with newbies or drive by posts but I can see where you're coming from. The issue with the above suggestion is who gets to decide when a poster can use the sticker? I have been somewhat active during my entire pregnancy, more so lately because I am anxious and feel like you ladies are the only ones I can really relate to right now. But I am seriously lacking in the post count when it comes to some of you ladies. So... Again who would be the one to decide who can and can't use it?

    I don't think it's a huge deal that post counts don't show anymore. I think a post should be judged by its content and not the post count of the poster.

    I agree with everything you said.
    I understand the frustration behind drive by posters but sometimes I feel intimidated to post because I have not been as active as some. I have been on here since December and have pretty much been on every day...i dont post every day but i have posted here and there and contribute when i can..I feel as if I am apart of the group but don't know how many people would recognize me. I also don't have any siggys or whatever they are called and have no clue how to make them..I am always on mobile...I think that's another reason people wouldn't recognize me..


    Oh and I agree with the drive by's taking my babies name! I have not heard of any August ladies having a Scarlett and would be bummed if one popped up outa no where.

    & I agree with not being so annoyed that the post count is gone..maybe that's because I had about 150 ha ha

    This may not be a UO to some. I dislike what's happened to our BMB. I feel like I don't know anyone anymore! It's been overtaken by strangers. I feel myself getting more annoyed daily and hardly open posts or comment anymore, unless I know the name. Boo!
    This happened on July 2013 until more regulars had their babies. Now there are more regulars posting again and even some new members that are becoming more recognizable. It can be kind of disheartening as more people drop off the face of the earth for the newborn twilight zone, but it will come back! I admit I get irrationally annoyed at the people who don't bother to contribute when they are pregnant but want to suddenly be BFF's and get all kinds of help/advice/friendly situation when they pop out their loin fruit. No no, it doesn't work that way. Give to get. Its a concept that is lost on so many.

    LMAO @ loin fruit!!!!

I had no clue he was even watching it..i about died when he put it on for the first time..i I don't get it. I think he feels sorry for them...who knows?

    The bolded part is how I feel too, although, I will admit there have been longer periods of time where I haven't been on, maybe like a week or so at the most.

    I cannot stand Honey Boo-Boo!

    I don't like that I've been a member for quite some time and yet I wasn't able to post until somewhat recently, yet I could post on The Knot with no problems... ~X(

    I've never watched Big Brother, we don't have cable so I haven't been able to watch anything of Grey's Anatomy after season 8, and I love watching The Vampire Diaries.

    I will admit, I watch it. I had NEVER watched it before this season. For some reason, I can't turn it off. My FI makes fun of me and tells me it's disturbing that I watch it. I think I am just amazed that some people behave like them. They are a different kind of people I've never experienced in real life. It is somewhat a guilty pleasure I guess, it makes me feel a lot better about myself and my life, ha! I don't really "like it", I just watch it for amusement. The commercials are really exaggerated, the show isn't as nasty as they make it seem.

    oh the drive by subject: I post here MAYBE once a week but I am very active on July 2013 (and elsewhere). I've given support on this board too even though its not my home board. Shoot, I've given support all over the bump. I get really pissed off when someone is like, "I have a LIFE. I don't have time to be on here typing away all day." 

    Bullshit. Everyone has a life. You choose where you spend your energy and put your positive vibes. If you choose to absent yourself from an online community its really really self-centered and rude to waltz in once you have your baby. Then you expect congratulations, and fawning over your loin fruit just because you want it? No, we are strangers to you. We don't give a fuck. 

    Also, it has NOTHING to do with post count. There are those on July 2013 who are and were active that have less than 50 post. They have given memorable support and I can recognize them. Post count is bullshit. It doesn't mean anything. You can acquire a post count by being a troll or posting thumbs up on some dead thread somewhere. It means nothing.

    This may be more of a confession, but what the hey After my interview tomorrow, we will be kicking Operation Come Out Baby into gear. I'm not talking anything crazy, but definitely upping DTD, walking, etc. We found out I'm GBS+ which already means an IV for labor. If I end up getting induced on top of that, I can pretty much kiss my med free birth plan goodbye
    Not unpopular with me. I'm also GBS pos and due today. My induction is now scheduled for August 8th and I feel the med free plan slipping away. Guess who is eating pineapple while bouncing on a birthing ball today? haha
    Don't give up!  You can do anything you put your mind to.  I know it sounds corny but it's true.  If you end up getting induced it might be more painful at times because of the Pitocin but I think if you practice your breathing techniques and have a good support system you can do it.

    I feel like I never have a real UO...which makes me worried that I'm a conformist. 

    In any case, I agree about the drive-bys. It's driving me absolutely bonkers. I feel like I don't recognize anyone on this board anymore. I feel like we had a really good vibe going on this board, and now we have loads of posts from people who I don't recognize. 

    Also, @primrosemama LMAO off at loin fruit.

    Another UO, I hate wearing thongs. Obviously DH loves them but I think they're so damn uncomfortable, and I hate when things are that close to my butthole. Must've been a mans invention. Sadly I'm wearing one today since all my normal underwear are dirty. Ugh.

     agreed! I don't wear them, never have, never will. They actually don't look good on me anyways I have a flat behind! hahah my "sexy" underwear are lacy cheekys. The kind where your bottom just sort of teasingly peeks out the bottom of them haha.

    Yep, I refuse to wear them. Sorry, but asshole floss is not comfortable. I own one pair that I wear with a certain dress (no other underwear is invisible with it). I've only worn that dress once though, because I didn't want to deal with the thong again lol

    I conquor. I despise thongs. I refuse to wear them and i look rediculous in them.

    I wear boy shorts, they are all i own, and frankly i think they are much sexier then a thong, plus they are comfy. Id walk around the house in boy shorts a bra and a wife beater before i got pregnant.

    Grey's Anatomy sucks anymore. I loved it up until about 5 years ago and then when they killed off George, I was done.  The storyline just got worse and worse.

    Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, my midwife told me that she had to have her labor started with a small dose of pitocin and she was able to go without the epidural. I'm definitely staying in a positive frame of mind. :)

    @Jill9288 and @Ikobriant have you looked into accupuncture? I havent completed my research yet but im thinking of getting treatments as soon as i hit 40 weeks if theres no babe yet. My doc wants to induce me at 41 weeks for no other reason than to get her out and id like to try more "natural" methods first. A women in my birthing class was an acupuncturist and was getting treatments herself as well.
    I haven't, but would be willing to try. I know family history doesn't always play in, but in my case, my OB thinks it could; Mom and sisters have all gone on or before due dates, never late, so we'll see!
    I hope the family history helps! Hopefully you will have your LO soon! I have a feeling im gonna go late, I think she takes after DH, he is late everywhere!

    I honestly HATE beaded board!!! Sure it looks great in perfect houses and worlds but this stuff is a pain in the @$$!! And when it's in a house that's 112 years old and its probably as old as the house it just sucks. Very hard to clean, paint, and hang stuff on.
    Oh gosh, so this.  Ours has only been in for about 20 years, but it drives me batty.  It's right next to the dishwasher (well it was until we ripped it out last weekend) and constantly catches coffee, juice, etc.   Ew.
    This crap is in EVERY room in the house... And we bought the house from the son of a lady that passed ad had lived here. Needless to say the house was sooo beyond nasty and dirty. We used scrub brushes on the kitchen walls and have been working on fixing the house up. Next house will not have this stuff in it for sure. Never again. no beaded board at our house but we had the same problem you listed in bold when we bought our house. We bought it as a short sale and it was FILTHY. We replaced all of the floors and literally had to scrub the walls with lysol and then seal them before we could even paint. I spent an entire day vacuuming out the cabinets and sanitizing them. It was worth it but SUCH A PAIN!


    Yes we are having to replace everything as we can afford it. I really don't think DH would have bought the house if he would have known and believed me when I told him the house was crap and gonna take more work than what he thinks. But he sees it now for sure.

    I knew it would be. I don't get why the post counts matter so much. I feel that as long as you're contributing useful or fun content (and aren't posting AW drive-bys or MUD) it shouldn't matter if you have 200 or 2000 posts to your name. I realize I'm in the minority here though.

    My UO is apparently that I like the Enchirito from Taco Bell. That is all I've ever gotten there since I was a kid. Went to order it last night and apparently they don't sell them anymore. I had to hold back tears and keep myself from going crazy pregnant lady on the poor cashier. Still craving that dang Enchirito I can never have!
