My FFFC is that I'm totally fangirling over Nicholas Hoult after watching him in Warm Bodies. Yes, I got a crush on a zombie, how embarrassing. So I was googling, found out he's dating Jennifer Lawrence, which just makes him even hotter. Then I decided to start watching his 2007 show Skins from the UK. In that show he plays a 17 year old, but was 18 when they filmed, but he's still so super hot. It makes me feel like a perv.
Most of the names on the names thread make me nauseous.
I feel the same way. I personally would never chose a name that was in the top 3 most popular names. Think about how many Sophia Isabelle's there are going to be in their third grade class. Ack.
On that note, my names probably made you nauseous… and I don't care
People who regularly use (speaking or typing) the phrases, "I/she/he was like..." or "Then he/she goes blah blah blah" make me was to strangle them. Reading stories written like this or listening to somebody talk like this makes my head want to explode.

I'm addicted to shows about bariatric patients. Shows like My 600 pound Life get tivoed and watched when DH isn't around. When I was in school I wanted to work with morbidly obese children, but didnt live in an area where that was an option.

I can't even watch the previews for shows like that, it makes me feel queasy and depressed. In fact, almost any kind if medical/clinical type real life thing is too much for me to handle.
I do watch biggest loser, but that doesn't show any gruesome surgeries or anything, the people are making a positive change, and they aren't so depressing to me. I don't like any real life shows that just show how f-ed up people are, whether they are addiction related, prison related, etc. there is enough of that in my extended family, I don't need to watch other people going through it.
I get anxious just walking into hospitals, I honestly think nurses are saints, because there is no way in hell I could handle that line of work.
I'm about five seconds away from pulling out some of my old AEs and making up some drama on this board. SO BORING.
I can't believe we're still talking only about pregnancy related stuff. The one thing I love about the other boards I post on (or have posted on, in the case of TTGP) is that, in addition to the main subject of the board, there are posts about so many different things, encourgaing great discussions where everyone gets to know each other.
Here? I got super excited when I saw someone bring up Pretty Little Liars, at least it wasn't about a symptom.
Also, I want to butt punch the people who insist that this place be only about "support" and ladies chatting only about what is going on in their uterus. How do you function in normal life?
This. I think once we get further along, we can weed out some of the Rainbow, Glitter and Unicorn Fart ladies. Then we can actually have some real conversations...
Alright, I'll try to stir up some drama... My confession is that PETA has been bothering the ever loving piss out of me lately. I love me some animals, I grew up with cats and dogs, and I--as a college graduate--cried to my mommy when my hamster had a growth on his paw and looked like he was in so much pain (I even took him to the vet) Those Sarah McLachlan commercials get me every time. But where would we be in this world without the incredible benefits we have gained from certain animal testing? Vaccines? Chemotherapy? Hell, even prosthetic limbs? We even understand basic attachment between babies and their mothers because of Harlow's rhesus monkeys. So maybe don't wash that cute little bunny's fur with toxic waste, or torture monkeys for fun. But when organizations like PETA come in, undermine a researcher's good intentions, and sue them without a firm basis, they are taking time, energy, and money away from things that could greatly benefit society. **That's not to say that NOBODY should be standing up for animals, of course they need advocates, too. But it seems like every story I hear about PETA involves lots of finger pointing, suing, and shaming even when there aren't any grounds for such things.
I just can't get excited about artificial or ivf pregnancies. My sil did ivf and announced her pregnancy right after we announced. Now the whole family is acting like this is such a blessed miracle. Nope, not a miracle just an act of science. We created our baby thru love and noone seems to care now that sil has her science baby on the way.

Your right, their baby isn't real, because they needed help conceiving. Your baby is real, and they are just going to give birth to a science project. You're pathetic.

That's my thought, either way… pretty fucking offensive for the unfortunate couples that really need IVF.
My confession… WHO THE FUK has time to make an AE? Seriously. I wish I had time to take a shit by myself, let alone create fake online profiles and start shit with them. The idea is fun, I just don't know where people find the time.

So if you need to use IVF on your next pregnancy you won't be excited because it will be a "science baby"? People who need help of IVF and other means to have a baby have put a lot of thought and love into that decision.
You sound like a spoiled brat who isn't getting all the attention she wants.

I really hope that isn't how you feel. Either way. Fuck you. YOU can't get excited about artificial or IVF pregnancies? But you can get about excited about pregnancies that were conceived "naturally". Give me a fucking break. Guess what. Your SIL's baby was conceive with A LOT of fucking love. A LOT of fucking patience. And A LOT of fucking money. That's your niece or nephew. You are a disgusting person.

ladyabagail is hurt about having to share her spotlight with her SIL. That's fine, but don't blame it on IVF- your miracle is not any better than hers. Some unsolicited advice- get over your anger about spotlight sharing and embrace the fact that you'll be pregnant together and will have children the same age. My baby will be the youngest (by far) of all the kids in our extended family, which will be fine, but I will say- I'd be so happy if my baby was going to have a cousin the same age.
2) PETA. I got my hands on some PETA propaganda in the 5th grade and it impacted me so much that I became a young vegetarian activist (and definitely drove my parents crazy). While I credit them for shocking me into a bit of awareness at the time, they totally and completely suck now. Did you all read about how they were caught with hundreds of dead cats and dogs they were not able to adopt? Disgusting.
3) Crispin reminds me of this childhood book I adored, Crispin's Crispian. Crispin's Crispian was a dog who belonged to himself. Loved the book, but probably wouldn't name my kid that because of my association with an adorable big shaggy dog.
I agree Nicholas Hoult is hot, I love Angry Orchard and have not had Crispin, and would not name my kid after either, and I don't pay much attention to extreme groups and classify PETA as one.
My FFFC, I'd rather shit rainbows than be cruel.
Congrats to all the pregnant ladies here, I am excited for the planned, the unplanned, the IVF and the dirty deeders and whatever I've missed!

@ladyabagail - this is the most offensive thing I have ever read on TB. You can go fuck yourself. You should count yourself incredibly lucky you don't know the heartache that is IF. Clearly you have no idea what IF treatment is like, otherwise there's no way you would question that these babies are also made with love, you insensitive, ignorant twat.
Ha! No, no pun intended, but I do see how it could totally look that way. I literally meant be a cruel person, not you the user named cruelsound. Pleased to meet you, my dear!
@ladyabagail you are an immature little brat. It's hard to believe anyone would say anything like that... but unfortunately I think you are real and not an AE, because an AE would have come back by now to defend herself and stir up more shit.
I hope you stay gone.

So are you saying that babies created with the help of science are not made out of love? I think it's pretty miraculous that science has advanced to the point that couples otherwise unable to have children now get to experience pregnancy.

say what, now?
Ummm no. She would never say anything so disgusting and offensive. There is a huge different between saying it would be fun to stir some shit and writing something like @ladyabagail. Maybe if it was a post about feeling the baby move already, or I don't know, something more ridiculous with a little bit of humor. But that? No.
I'll now be naming my child after the first alcoholic beverage I craved but couldn't have...what do you think about "Zinny" as a nickname for little White Zinfandel?

Was there like, a golden light shining down on you and holy trumpets sounding off when you conceived too? Wow, must be super special.
My science babies were nothing like that...I am totes jealous of you being able to have a love baby while lying on your back doing absolutely nothing while my husband and I just dished out most of our life savings to do it the science way. So much easier than all that love nonsense.
And if this was MUD or an AE, what a terrible way to go about starting 'some drama'. Why not choose something people can control, like my UO...no one cared about my confession about planning to eat a hotdog at the playoff game this Sunday, a soda sounds good too. See? That's something to start drama over...not this hurtful BS.
