    I feel way worse for the people in the SUV in New York than the guy on the motorcycle who got run over. 

    That business makes me so angry! Feel badly that the guy was so seriously hurt, but what would any normal person do surrounded like that?! Not knowing that it was just a bunch of grownup idiots on motorcycles, my assessment would definitely have been that they wanted to hurt my family and I, and to get away at all costs.

    I blame shows like "Sons of Anarchy" that people end up taking too literally. Not every motorcycle gang is out to get people....

    The fact that the guy who started it all stopped short on purpose to start the whole thing, I would have assumed from the start they were trying to start an issue and would have acted accordingly.
  • I do not 'cover my plate' at a wedding. (DH and I are going to one in a few weeks). I give my gift based on my relationship with the couple and how much I can afford. If you chose to have your wedding at a place that costs upwards of $150 a person not my problem don't expect a $300 gift from me!
    Wait they expect you to pay to eat? If they do they suck

  • I have a few today...
    1.) I sit for days trying to think of what I'm going say each Friday!

    2.) I don't know how ofter your supposed to change your razor heads out, but I only switch mine out like once every 4 to 6 months dpending on how often I've shaved my legs. I know, it's gross. Also, I've been skipping brushing my teeth before bed like 4 nights a week now because I'm too tired to stand in front of the sink for the extra 2 minutes.

    3.) I have turned into a crazy road-raging psychopath the past month or so. Like, I will fly past you if your going too slow for me and have caught myself laying on the horn as I pass. And then I get scared that the other driver will follow me and attack me or something.
  • I hate bicyclists. Long beach is a bike friendly city which is great we have tons of bike lanes. But dumb bicyclists don't even stay in the lanes and they weave around cars, don't use hand signals, and cross intersections when it isn't their turn. Not to mention half of them don't even look before they merge, and they shouldn't be merging!!!!
  • Sometimes I stay at work way past five so that I can have time to myself to internet shop and IM with my long distance friends. Sometimes I just need to get away from hubs.

    Right! I hear it all the time 'well you really should cover your plate' you want me to cover my plate then let's go to mcdonalds because this chick is broke!!!
    How are people supposed to know how much per plate anyways? Are couples really going around advertising the price they paid anyways? "BTW we just sprung for the cheese fountain so we're up to 120 per plate KTHXBYE!!!!"

    ME TOO!!! And then after I do it I think to myself OMG what just happened to me? It's like I was possessed for a moment! Haha

    Slow the eff down.

    I can't believe how comfortable people are making the roads unsafe for everyone else. These days I just try to get from point A to point B without almost being run off the road by a "road-raging psychopath." I like to imagine that every car either has a baby or a pregnant woman in it, and that helps me remember to drive safely.


    I know, it's horrible. And I keep telling myself that I can't drive like that anymore as soon as LO's born. I keep forgetting that he's in my belly now and I could get into an accident and harm him already (or someone else.) I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm never running late or anything; I just have a really heavy foot.
  • I babysit for my friend once or twice a week and the extra money is my fun money/fast food splurge/crafting money. Her dh is between jobs basically by bad planning. I can't help it but I miss my fun money and hate hearing my friend complain they're stressed out.

  • My own FFFC of the week is I'm seeing my psychiatrist today. I can't take this anxiety anymore. My OBGYN thinks it would be beneficial to go back on antidepressants now. We have to see what the psychiatrist thinks. I haven't even thought about what I will do if he says I need them. I know I need them and they are assuring me they would prescribe something safe for this stage of pregnancy but I don't know. It's a sucky decision.

    I have nothing for baby... My hands are tied, as it's "bad luck" to buy things before baby comes, but seriously... After reading yesterday's "has it set in" post, I think I'm slightly freaking out... I actually had a dream about strollers and loading it into a car yesterday.

    Right there with you. Let the freak out commence.

    Truly FFFC. :(
    Sorry you have to make this decision, but I'm sure none if your medical team would take such a decision lightly.

  • I've been avoiding family members lately and friends. I just really don't like the extra attention positive or negative. More than that I've been so irritable lately even people who I like are annoying. I hope it's just hormones. On a totally unrelated note, does this Golden Girls prop look like a penis? Is it just me? I know it's a Lobster but it really looks phallic lol

    if you don't zoom in, then yes. A little bit.

  • Standardized test scores came in last saturday's mail. I hate these tests. I hate what it does to teachers and I hate what it does to the kids. We sing the same 'it does not determine your value and worth'-song when the girls take it.
    So why was I so proud of my D2, for getting proficient in ELA and Advanced in Math; and so disappointed that D1 got a lower proficiency in ELA and a needs improvement in Math?
    I feel rotten for it. She's so much more than a stupid test score... But I wanted her to do well.

    @Aycul18 Same boat.  Don't stress.  I could not be more certain we will be OK.

  • Let's see...

    My vanilla confession:
    1) I've never been on a motorcycle.  I think I would really enjoy riding on one.  Also, I've never met a person in a "motorcycle club" that came off as anything but a genuinely kind-hearted person. Not saying the bad gangs don't exist - they certainly do.  Just saying that I think it's a case of the few misrepresenting the many. 

    My juicy confession:
    2) In my last serious relationship, I was "the other woman."  It was a situation where I had been best friends with the guy for several years, but it didn't turn romantic until after he got in a relationship with someone else.  Though I 100000% believe my DH is my soul mate, and though I haven't had contact with the other guy for several years, I confess that I'm still bitter he didn't choose me.  It's not about love, it's about pride.  (I would never take him back in a billion years.)  I confess to being disappointed in myself for getting into that situation, and to letting it go on as long as it did.
     

    Anyone that I have ever met who was in a motorcycle "gang" has been so friendly and nice. Any of the ones that I have ever met seem to be very responsible drivers. It's the young people who get a motorcycle to get from point A to B faster that make me nervous.

    I've been the "other woman" also. He was separated from his wife when I met him and I was young and dumb. He went back to his wife after a few months and I was devastated. They only stayed together for about 6 months and then he left her for me. I didn't ask him to do that. I hadn't talked to him one time when he was with his wife but I still took him back. It ended in less than a year. I did love him. The whole thing broke my heart. I was in major denial that I was ever the other woman. Looking back I think he took advantage of how young and naïve I was. I have zero feelings for him and I would never get in a situation like that again. I am not proud at all.

  • I blame processed foods and too little sleep for how often people get sick in this country.  I get mad that so many people turn to doctors and medicine before examining their how they're living and what they're putting in their bodies to figure out why they feel like crap.  Then I blame the medical establishment for not taking that stuff seriously enough to really probe patients on how they live before writing prescriptions.  Further, I have other crackpot ideas about what causes diseases of uncertain origin, but mostly I blame dietary and lifestyle choices for making those diseases worse.

    I'm in a terrible mood today, and therapy actually made it worse for once, because my stressed-out husband was there, stressing me out.

    ETA: clarifying words.
    Preach! It's very difficult for me not to say these very things to my clients. Like, instead of taking a pill for your high cholesterol and high blood pressure, maybe you could try exercising and changing your all-bacon diet.

    Ugh, the worst is when it's people in your own family.  My parents are health nuts, but my in-laws are pro-pharma and super, super unhealthy.

    Ugh! Seriously! Also if you have the sniffles, please don't run to your doctor and demand an antibiotic. Ugghhhh
    Methinks I'm an oddball, but I'm not a health nut, but most of the time I have to be talked into taking antibiotics. Or even going to the doctor period outside of checking on baby sorts of things. As a kid, my parents never took me to the doctor (even when they probably should've), so I just resist going most of the time and try to wait it out. And of course, try to avoid the crap out of people if I think I'm sick, so I can't pass it on.

    I 110% agree with everything you've said. I work on a cardiac unit in a hospital and see the same "frequent flyers" month after month. 90% of the diabetics and heart disease/hyertensive patients we see are diet/lifestyle related. Most people understand what they need to do to be healthy and stay out of the hospital, but it's just too hard for them to change.

    I am on medication and have been all through this pregnancy. Recently my midwife thinks I may need something more. It is a hard decision and I am putting off seeing my doctor even though I know I probably should. The reality is though that a happy Mamma makes for a happier baby and a better and healthier experience. Also it might help to curb any PPD that you might have. No shame in taking care of yourself. In this case I think the good of medication out weighs the possible and very lows possibility of bad.

    My dad is the absolute worst! I get so mad at him. He still smokes even though he has a pacemaker, heart disease, high blood pressure, he eats whatever he wants( little debbies included) and wonders why he can't keep his diabetes in check. He's on 13
    different medications. 13! He drives a truck for work, short trips and always stops at a particular gas station and gets freaking tamales and a soda for breakfast everyday. I only know this because my friend is the manager and he told me. My step mom just had heart surgery as well but refuses to stop smoking and has the same bad food habits as my dad. Did I mention they are only 55? Yeah that's horrible, my rant for the day :(
