Longest Thread EVER! (aka Random Thoughts Thread )

Ummm can I just take a moment to mention how much I am LOVING watching "A Very Brady Sequel" on Netflix??!!?! OMG, the 70's AND 90's nostalgia? The corny jokes? Random RuPaul scenes? It's breathtakingly campy and wonderful.

Plus, they'll be going to Hawaii soon and if I remember, the scenery was awesome. Perfect for a -15 day in Minneapolis!

I decided to organize my drawers and closets today and pack up all my clothes that don't fit. I thought it would make getting dressed in the morning easier, but it is making me depressed that I have so many things that don't fit and need to be packed up :-( It also got me worrying that none of it will fit even months after baby is here.

The baby shower threads make me stabby

@p&b715 that's what I'm scared of! A 6000 page thread of people arguing back and forth with people not even from our board. (:|

@kimc85
Cats are assholes plain and simple. If it wants to get at your couch it's going to. Maybe aluminum foil... Supposedly the sound freaks them out. It was jut another toy for our cats. Good luck

Alright cat people. As previously mentioned I have my best friends cat while she's in Florida for a few months. She said if it became a problem her mom would take the cat, but the cat that her mom has isn't exactly fond of this one. I'm giving the cat another chance before I send her over there though. I've had her here for 3 weeks and she will not stop scratching my couches. I've covered them in sheets and blankets and she still climbs underneath them just to scratch the couch. I have a scratching post. I've sprayed her with a water bottle. Basically all that's done is made her nocturnal. She sleeps in my room all day and then comes out at night when no one is awake to scratch the shit out of my couches and wakes me up. Any advice??

She's not gonna stop scratching. That's a cat's way of marking. I heard that cats despise the smell of lemon. Boil a pot of water with lots of lemon and when it cools put it in a spray bottle. Spray what you don't want scratched with it and see what happens. If you aren't willing to have your furniture smell like lemon then kick her ass to the curb (and by "to the curb" I mean to your friend's mom's house)

Agreed. Who gives a flying fuck who or why you are having a shower? Have one, don't have one...just fucking enjoy it if you are. I promise the etiquette police won't show up if you do something you "shouldn't" do. FFS, it's a mother fucking baby shower.

Rage over

Went for a 3 mile walk this morning then had waffles with peanut butter and bacon... Did I just fuck that up? :-S

Replace the 3 mile walk with a nap and I would say you are doing it right!

This just gave me the awesome mental image of the Etiquette Police showing up at some pregnant lady's door like "Guest-addressed envelopes for thank you cards? I'm afraid you are going to have to come with us, ma'am."

I have my glucola test Tuesday.. Any tricks??? Soor if this has been covered I have ADD and don't read and retain everything.

I am a weirdo and the glucola doesn't bother me all that much. It isn't something I would drink by choice, but it doesn't make me want to throw up either. It just tastes like a really sugary melted popsicle.

I don't know if it is like this all over, but at my practice they give you 10 minutes to drink it so that you can take it slow if you have to!

Mine says 45 min before my appointment??

I have to drink mine 45 minutes before too, mine also says I have 10 minutes to drink it.

I am so sick of packing!!! I wonder if Zeb will let me get someone to clean the house after we move?

kseccomb17 · January 2014

@ColleenSwerb- That is annoying. I also hate when you're closer to the end, and people ask you daily when you're going to "Pop that baby out?" or "You still haven't had that baby?" or "You're huge! How can you get any bigger? You're not going to make it!" It's like, I am aware i'm huge, and yes, I am uncomfortable. Please stop the fucking reminders!

Yes, only because you didn't say you had a nap after

deidremaria · January 2014

God I just went over to the baby shower thread. GOD people take this shit way too seriously. Granted, I do follow the basic common sense etiquette but I really don't get that much into it. Just fucking annoying

deidremaria · January 2014

I could totally go for a cinnamon roll right now. And I normally don't like cinnamon rolls.

eireyes · January 2014

@kimc85 try putting double sided tape on the places the cat likes to scratch. It worked really well for my cats, they hate tape on the paws. The other thing that might work is a static pad. Cat steps on it and gets a static shock until they get off. I admit, it sounds terrible, but it does the trick.

ETA: spelling is not my strong suit right now...

Sisimama10 · January 2014

We have like a million inches of snow here. I've been drinking snow drinks alllll day. Pouring juice or pop over snow makes it just like a slurpee yum!

And I can't forget snow ice cream!

I feel like all the cinnamon rolls I've ever had are too bready. There is a coffee shop nearby that sells cinnamon roll croissants. Now those I LOVE. they aren't as bready as traditional cinnamon rolls

RocksInTheWater · January 2014

As far as I'm concerned, the baby shower thread has an electric fence surrounding it so I'm not going near it. What a boring debate.

@sisimama10 Snow drinks sound good! We don't have fresh enough snow right now for me to trust it.

So the state of MN is practically shutting down tomorrow due to cold and I am thinking it's getting to be a little bit overreactive. I do understand canceling schools because of students waiting at bus stops. But the grocery store? Really? Maybe I'm missing something here...

Ours is shutting down too. -50 with windchill. Our grocery stores are opening late from what I've seen.

My husband did the grocery shopping today since I'm sick, he bought cinnamon rolls home-pillsbury kind and I just gave him the most disgusted look. They are only ok home made. Grandmas spoiled me...

I would totally eat those right now.

Put them in the waffle maker and drizzle the icing over it it's delicious and not as doughy

Made these in the waffle maker this morning. No icing for me though.. It's too sweet.

DH just practically threw a hissy fit over me eating my leftover salmon from our dinner out with my mother because he hates the smell of fish. He literally opened the windows, the front door, turned fans on and still coughed dramatically until I was done eating. Then I had to Lysol the microwave, kitchen and table and go brush my teeth. Ugh the drama. This is why I typically save eating salmon for when I'm out with friends or out of town for work. He's lucky I'm not really a huge fish eater anyway, salmon is the only kind I really like and we can't afford it most of the time.

DH does this same thing! It's so dramatic! Yet when he makes his nasty ass smelly tacos I don't say a word, even though they have sent me running to the bathroom many times these past 6 months

I'm going to have to side with your husband on this one! I would have done the exact same thing! I can tolerate a lot of smells...but salmon is not one of them! I would rather be sprayed by a skunk! The smell makes me want to vomit instantly and gives me a headache! I have had to leave the lunchroom before because people have the nerve to eat a salmon
:o3

I was looking for the angry face, but I don't have my glasses on...the dog will do.

I have nothing against carbs. Cinnamon rolls just aren't really my cup of tea.

Huge seafood fan here. Also very good cook. And I live next to the ocean and get the good stuff. But I almost never cook seafood in the house because the smell. Yuck.

It doesn't smell if you take the trash out immediately and do the dishes right after dinner. Both of which we do, and never bother with the smell.
