FFFC

Re: FFFC



  • Mother I love you dearly and I always will. But telling me to change my boy's name just because it is the 'same name as an ex' is really quite low for you. Get used to it!

    Is it an ex of yours?  Surely she would realize that if you picked the name you are not making that association.  Chill out frankie's mom!


    No it's the same name as her ex, her first boyfriend apparently.

    I've been a diligent couponer for about two years now - I never go grocery shopping without making sure I'm spending as little as possible and taking a well planned out list with me  The normal time frame it takes me to prepare for a grocery trip is 2-3 hours...  (I might be a little overthetop ridiculous with my preparation..)

    My confession is today I'm not doing shit.  IF I go shopping, and it's a big IF, I will not be cutting coupons, looking for the best deals, planning meals... Nothing.  I literally have no drive today and I just want to stay home and watch movies all day.  Maybe this confession will help to light a fire under my ass, but honestly I think I will be going shopping without a plan for the first time in years.
    I was a huge deal seeker and couponer, but I have been really lax this pregnancy.  I don't forsee myself getting the motivation again any time soon either.  I do plan to put a bunch of stuff on subscribe & save through Amazon Prime.  I get up to a 20% discount and they ship it to my door.  Lazy for the win!
  • I have the option for a VBAC, but have chosen a c-section at 39 weeks. 
    I have to have the baby at 39 weeks anyways, but I don't want to be induced(water broken), labor all day, and end up in a c-section, which would make my recovery worse. So I am skipping all the hard stuff and going right for the section. I feel really selfish, but I want my recovery time to be as small as possible so I can make my way over to the NICU and see my baby before she is shipped off to another hospital. One of my SIL's thinks it's horrible to schedule a section at 39 weeks, but we have no choice. She also thinks it's lazy to go right for a section even though I have a VBAC option. Suck it, sister, I don't care!
    My doctor gave me the choice.  I picked RCS at 39 weeks.  The emergency section after 20+ hours of labor was not fun the first time around.  Why do I want to risk doing that again?
    RIGHT? I was all kinds of tired and sore. I pushed for 3 hours and had sore v-jay AND I was sore from the c-section. No thank you.

  • I'm surprised this one hasn't shown up here yet maybe I'm just a heartless person but my FFFC is I don't care that Cory monteith died. If you chose to do drugs you also chose to leave behind those that love you.

    I was surprised at the amount of women that responded to you-know-who's Botox thread. I never thought that Botox/plastic surgery was something people did in real life. I believed it was something celebrities did.

    Ever since though, I've been wondering if a little filler might help with the crinklies around my eyes.

    I liked this bc I too was also surprised at how many people responded...not how many people do it lol. I had to check my eyes after reading to see if I had lines lol.
    My brothers owns a salon and spa and they have a plastic surgeon come in a couple times a week to perform small cosmetic procedures. Well he told me that this older lady comes in to get injections in her clitoris because it makes it more sensitive/pleasurable during sex. I guess the injection causes her to orgasm and the whole salon could hear her. Talk about shock of finding out about cosmetic procedures lol. I didn't even think something like that was possible.
    I've heard of this but I just can't with the needle in the clit.

  • @NYMama1 if you don't mind sharing, what all do you have on subscribe and save.  I'm trying to decide if I want to sign up for that, but don't have anyone IRL to ask.
    Butting in to share what I subscribe to (or have at one point)...

    Mascara
    Tide Free & Clear
    Shampoo & conditioner
    Quaker chewy granola bars
    Swiffer refills
    Greenies dog treats
    Popchips (DH loves them and they're pricey at the store)
    TP (we also have a Sam's membership, so it depends on which is cheaper when we need some)
    Diapers when they were running a promotion for new Amazon Mom members

    I use coupons when I shop normally, but these are all things that I can get cheaper than if I had a coupon at the store.  Also, Amazon occasionally has e-coupons you can "clip" on their site.

    @clairefraser I have diapers, wipes, pull ups, pouches, oatmeal, granola bars, granola, coconut oil, conditioner, and moisturizer on S&S.  For food you only save 5% but on the baby items since I have multiple things on S&S I get 20% off.  It is almost as cheap as using coupons and tracking deals at the store and definitely more convenient.
  • Last night it was extremely hot so I slept naked.. Blankets on & off all night. I woke up to DHs cat licking my nipple.. I moved him and he ran back to try to continue.... He is over a year old.. WTF ?

    Oh my goodness I have tears in my eyes from laughing. I'm sorry I'm laughing. Just think in a few more weeks someone else is going to be all about your nipples. I hope your cat doesn't get jealous...

    If you have 5 or more subscriptions arriving in one delivery, you get 20% off of everything (food included!).

    LOL.  I guess I should pay closer attention to my S&S prices.  I was wondering why the amount they charge went down even more on my last order.  Off to check the discount on my food items.

    It's not very clear on your order history...but I checked with my last delivery and definitely got 20% off everything. 

    However, I also started out with a Prime account before adding Amazon Mom--not sure if that makes a difference?  But I think the benefits are the same.

  • I'm only on day 2 of bed rest and I must say I don't know how you ladies are doing this! I'm going nuts nothing is holding my interest and I think it's just bc I know I can't do anything.

  • jamrosj said:

    I cried last night because my ILs decided they're coming for thanksgiving. I have reason to be so upset because they're staying in a hotel and probably have realistic expectations of what I can do at 37 weeks but I just want to be left alone.  I keep thinking how awful it would be if I went into labor with them here because I want to labor at home for a long time and I only want dh to see me when I'm a hot mess.

    : ( I'm sorry.  Do you live in an area with a restaurant you could send them to, if labor does indeed start? 

    I'm kind of in the opposite boat.  I am also hosting Thanksgiving this year, but I couldn't be more thrilled.  I'm in charge of the turkey and stuffing, and everyone's who's coming is going to fill in the side dishes. 


    Same for us! I emailed everyone and told them it's a potluck! I'm making the turkey and one side. Should be fun!

  • We gave the girls the day off from school. We're going to the fair, then heading north for the weekend for our last vacation as a family of 5. I think I'll be dead by Sunday or monday, but it'll be a special time. We totally shocked them this morning... We're the parents that have homework sent home if they've been sick, but are still in the 'need to stay home' window of time.
    I love, love, love this.  Have a wonderful weekend, mama!

  • I have my own. A part of me is excited that I won't have to cook or clean when I am in the hospital and for at least a few days after getting home. This is my second so I know it's not a vacation but it will be nice to have a break from it.

    DH has a huge duck dynasty like beard. While it's not my favorite look I figure he has no say in how I do my hair, I have no say on his facial hairs. And to be honest cleanly shaven he looks too much like his dad.

    FFFC: I did almost no work yesterday but I will still charge the company I work for the entire day. Hey, I do a lot of work on the side for them almost every week so I'm calling even Stevens!

    Edit: spelling

    You get a big EFF YOU from me on this. This comment is truly one of the most heartless things I have ever read on here. Addiction hits very close to home to me. It is a disease. Yes, they may choose to start doing something, but the disease takes over their body and they cannot stop because their body is now dependent on that drug of choice. Do you think other people that are diagnosed with other diseases like heart disease, diabetes, AIDS, etc. chose that for themselves?
    That was not cool Kelsey.  Had you read anything about his situation?  He had been in rehab.  He was clean, had a relapse and his body couldn't handle it.  The Glee cast had even staged an intervention at some point.  He was trying.  His body couldn't take it when he relapsed.  I think it's incredibly tragic and sad.
    I kind of get what Kelsey is saying but I always try to put myself in their shoes.  If that was your brother how would you feel? I don't *feel* anything because I don't know Cory but it is a sad situation.
