DS might have eaten part of the dog's treat this morning. I gave it to the dog and stopped to put creamer in my coffee before heading back into the living room. The dog literally had the thing for all of maybe 60 seconds. Get in the living room and DS is chomping away on something. Stick my finger in his mouth and out comes a huge chunk of dog treat. He just looked at me like "but mom I was enjoying that"

Last week he grabbed the dog's bone and I let him put it in his mouth thinking one taste and he won't do that again. WRONG! After about 15 seconds I had to take it away. He threw a fit.

Apparently dog bones amd treats are good teething toys

My kid has both done this with the dog's bone and the cat's food. At least we usually buy fancy organic stuff?

I watch way too many vloggers on YouTube and sometimes refer to them as if I know them. For instance, when I go shopping with DH I might say "Oh, Judy and Benji have xyz and really like it."

It bothers me to no end when people drive in the left lane without passing someone. Also, when cars that are being passed speed up so that those trying to pass them cannot.

Worst of all are the people who drive and chat on their cell phones. It's illegal here and I swear they are going to kill someone. Whatever they are talking about is not important enough to risk their and other's lives.

I prefer not to drive if I don't have to.

BatDaughter4Eva · September 2013

@Bpaws, I'm not hating on trucks. Just people who don't use them right, lol.

I miss going back in the woods. Good times.

sadeathe · September 2013

Also, I picked a tiny tick off my husband that was trying to escape into his butt crack. Never in a million years would I have thought I would ever do that. I hope I never have to again.

The cell phone thing is the highest on my high horses. Seriously, I can't even see the ground to get off of it. It is seriously one of the most selfish things a person can do and why MIL will never drive Howell anywhere.

And that's why I live in the city because I never have to drive unless I want to get out of the city for the day. And cat litter. I don't know how we'd get cat litter without a car.

Dirty lurker here

. It's ok that those comments were aimed toward me.

I was more active back when we were pregnant but not much anymore since I'm really only on this board when I'm rocking the babe. I don't post as much because typing on my phone w 1 finger sucks.

My confession is that this is a public message board. You'd be shocked at how many lurkers there really are. Shocked. So the confession part is that I hate when people get their panties in a bunch because someone has disagreed with them on a public board. Dude, you put it out there. Now own it. And don't deflect and get pissy when someone disagrees.

I don't really think it was directed only at you. It's true that anyone can post anything they like and I'm not at all concerned with how many lurkers there are. But if someone comes out combative (lurker or not), I'm going to call them out...which I'm allowed since as you pointed out, it's a public forum.

i think thats totally fair. the silly part is
mentioning someone is new or a lurker
as though that invalidates their opinion or response. but calling someone
out if they are combative i totally agree
with!

Well, I tend to think it does matter a little because someone would be like, "Oh that's just crazy baker going on about farmers markets again," rather than who is this and why does she care? Not in a mean way but in a curious way.

rp-chicago-mom · September 2013

OR!!! What if @AggieDanner showed up her first day complaining about how her horn is always getting tangled up in low lying branches? That would be very confusing indeed did we not know she's a unicorn...just saying...

LindsayDesigner · September 2013

Monday's dinner consisted of movie theater popcorn and gelato. Pistachio and crema baci. It was delicious but I felt sick after.

Now I do want to get lost in the woods with you, I just thought hey! I get to meet you soon!!

Maybe this one will get lost- but I'm kind of bursting! I think there is a good chance I'm KU. Signs are there (many signs) and I know we hit the O days pretty much spot on this cycle. This is the first time I've actually felt certain since we've been trying.... I'm not testing until next Saturday. I'm running my first ever 5k with some friends, and I want to test that morning. The run is kind of a special marker for me, because it really does signify to me how far I've come in the last year as a person AND a mum. ETA; I know a "feeling" and good timing doesn't equal a baby, so I'm also trying not to get my hopes up too high

Lawd, @BPaws, how can you wait until next Saturday?!? I am going to be stalking the interwebz next weekend because you will, of course, tell us before you tell your SO, right?

I'm not really following. I think the whole lurker/newbie thing is totally irrelevant to public forum conversation. either you know who it is or you don't and in that case you can just safely assume its a lurker/newbie whatever without needing to ask. or clicking on their post history...that usually tells you too.

Except that there have been 4 billion and 12 name changes in the past 3 months, and sometimes it's easier to ask who someone is rather than go all Sherlock on their prior posts.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes if people are asking, "Who are you?" then they are asking for your identity. Not starting a "come at me, bro" reg vs. newbie war.

I'm really bored of this conversation but I'll explain myself and leave it to die because really...it's old news. If you come to know a poster over time, you have an idea of where they are coming from when they answer posts and ask questions. If you don't, it is reasonable to ask about someone's intentions because one is interested in their POV. It is also reasonable to ask if someone has posted here before because they aren't recognized and the more frequent poster just wants to know. No one is saying lurkers can't post or shouldn't post. No one is delusional enough to think there aren't a whole host of lurkers and infrequent posters. No one has said that. It is hypocritical to be up on this high horse about lurkers and saying what should and should not be said about them. People can post what they want. That includes general interest in new/less frequent posters.

I thought DaisyHeadMaisie was Maisey06 (botched spellings but you know). I didn't ask and then got really confused when one responded to the other's posts. Clearly, the OP was not just talking to herself! It took two seconds of, "I thought you were...?..." and "Oh! NOW I get it! Thanks!" No offense taken.

rp-chicago-mom · September 2013

I let Howell run around the park without shoes because he "helped" me pack the diaper bag and we somehow got there with one. I tried to keep him on the structure but I felt like a giant ass the whole time.

My FFFC: I am stabby at the secret fb group, and how "selective" they are. Apparently you have to be a super bumper who kisses their toes to gain approval. Yeah, I am not going to beg to join your group, I will gladly keep all my cute pictures of my babies to myself.

twoitalians · September 2013

I'm getting off work tonight and going to buy ant bait. In the past 3 weeks I've had colonies of ants traipsing through my house every 3 days. This morning was the last straw. After the "natural" lemongrass oil insect spray didn't work and the cinnamon barrier system failed, I'm bringing in the big guns. Chemicals. Lots and lots of chemicals. I'm scared because I have 2 cats, 2 dogs, AND a toddler.

I'm not sure a FB group is something to get stabby over. Parents who forward-face before 1, definitely. Parents who are more concerned with their children getting autism than getting polio and therefore don't vaccinate, absolutely. Taylor Swift's very existence, I'll back you 100%. But a FB group? Nope. Annoyed, fine. But not stabby.

Also, for the record, I prefer my toes sucked, not kissed.

My sister had luck with peppermint spray but then your whole house smells like gum. Her H figured out where they were coning from in the ground outside and he poured a bunch of boiling water down the hole and then sprayed tons of the peppermint oil. She's had ants for years and nothing worked (including chemicals) until they did this. GL! I hate household pests.

Gonna sneak this one under the wire, day from hell and all that.

I never wear thong undies. Hate them. If you can see my VPL, it means you're looking at my butt too long and shame on you. That's not to say I don't make sure the rear view passes the glance test. I know exactly which panties will "work" with which pants. Hanes bikini briefs with the no ride up guarantee do a nice job of minimizing VPL. But yes it's there. You want to see my butt now, don't you. I knew it.

K here's mine since we are all talking about driving and what not.
I Don't Drive.
Like I have my learners or G1 or whatever you want to call it. But not my full license. So I can't and don't drive.
My anxiety says DEAR GOD PLEASE DON'T PEOPLE ARE CRAZY! When in fact, it's probably me that's crazy.

@Bpaws I am so sorry you have that stress on your shoulders. You are not responsible but it's great that you can be there for him. I hope he gets on his feet soon! Hang in there. You are a great sister!!

I'm probably making it out to be way worse than it is. Honestly. I'm always on edge when DF is out of town hunting. My brother is hurting, and it's not fair of me to be anxious. He's a strong guy, who adores his nephew more than anything. He's clean, I know this. I'm just being a spazz.... And I feel awful even being anxious.

That's the thing about anxiety though, it's usually over something that we don't even need to be anxious about. I think it's fine that you want to sleep with H in your room.
I'm also really sorry that your brother is going through all this and you have all the responsibility on your shoulders. You are such an amazing sister and person! Can he hang out with your mum, does he like Criminal Minds?
