Cofession: I don't quite get the Loki love. Give me goody-two-shoes Captain America any day. I want to do bad things to that man.
Captain America never comes on TTGP anymore. How can you fanGirl one that is so absent from our lives?
Did he not out himself as well?
Feel the Loki love, IratOfTaira. If thee hath no feels for Loki after perusing the images in the following threads, then thou will be considered as lost. My sympathies.
I've never seen Downton Abby. All the girls in the circle of friends that DH and I share watch it and obsess over it. I don't see the hype or appeal of it.
This entire time I thought people on this board were spelling it wrong, I thought it was "Downtown Abby". I was wondering why everyone kept forgetting the "w". I've never seen it either.
Me too. Never seen it. I spelled it wrong when I was asking someone what they were talking about and I thought I was correcting their error...whoops!
TTC #1 since June 2013
April 2014: Diagnosed with PCOS and Hypothyroidism
I'm a newb, but I thought I'd start getting a little more involved in these posts so I wasn't irritating with only asking dumb questions.
My confession: Since stopping Cymbalta/BC to TTC, I've been having a REALLY hard time. REALLY hard. Depression, mood swings, panic attacks. My husband is a total flatline. He is always content, all the time. Never super happy, never super sad. So, he's the opposite of me. Sometimes, when I'm REALLY in the middle of a huge wave of anxiety, I'll say things just to see if I can't get SOME sort of reaction, because I worry that unmedicated me is NOT what he signed up for.
I stopped taking my antidepressant a year ago for the same reason. Can you talk with your PCP and see if there is a safer alternative? Or therapy? Sorry you have to go through that, it must be hard. ::hugs::
I'm in therapy, because I knew things were going to get a little hairy, and I'm going through like 80 different stressful things right now on top of TTC. So, I jumped in on that before I was even completely off of it. I'm giving it another month or two before contacting my PCP because in the last few weeks, things have gotten a little better. I'm wondering if I couldn't just have something to take WHEN a panic attack happens, not every day.
I'm also scared to ever take anything again, because weening off of it was AWFUL. Did you have a hard time coming off of it?
I was taking it more for a chronic pain condition and insomnia, so coming off of it wasn't horrible. It was an atypical SSRI and I was on a lower dose. Certain drugs are much harder to come off of.
Mio Marito per Sempre: Married 2009. SD is 12 yrs. DD is 4 yrs.
I've always wanted to know who @LokiTTGP really is! I have one guess. They always seem to show up together.
I have a guess as well but very little to base it on.
Seriously? Because I am completely clueless and I've been trying to figure it out! This is why the CIA wasn't interested in me at the college career fair.
Confession---I really think I have ghost in my house or something... I am always hearing things and this morning I felt something touch my leg. I thought it was my four year old but when I got up he was still in the bed. I can't tell anybody because they might think I'm losing my ish...
I mean I literally hear full choirs singing in the back of my house.....
Oh I have another... Only with in the last few weeks or so have I felt like it would be ok to post my own BFP post when the time comes. I've always feared people will think I'm a drive by....
I've had the same thoughts. I'm still on the fence.
I don't think either of you would be drive-bys. I'm new myself though and wouldn't post a BFP thread.
------- I agree with this. I'm new too and I know that I don't think I would post a BFP if I got one bc of the fact I'm too new to this.

My FFFC - I have gained about 25 lbs since May, and as a result none of my pants would button. I refuse to buy bigger pants, so for months I have been wearing them to work holding the top together with either a rubber band, safety pin, or just letting them be unbuttoned and covering with a blousy shirt. I've FINALLY lost enough weight to button them again now (still a little tight but they button!)...it's a pretty good feeling!

I gained like 30 lbs last year between May & December. I haven't purchased new pants either because it just depresses me. I have been living in leggings/yoga pants/and 1 particular pair of black cotton jeggings I got at Wet Seal that fit me so well! I do own 1 pair of jeans that I can squeeze into, but its full on muffin top. My goal is to lose 50 lbs this year... and so far, ive lost 3. haha!

Hey, three pounds is three pounds - better than gaining three! Plus it's much better to lose weight slowly over time, you're more likely to keep it off that way. Great job!
Brought to you by Facebook: I have two family members (H's cousin's wife and my cousin's wife) who are due the same week as my first due date. I've been trying to push it out of my mind, but I'm starting to get anxious. I'm happy for both of them and the family and I'm sure the babies will be great, their fertility does not affect my own, but I know it's going to be really hard for me to deal for a few days. And I feel bad that I can't just be happy for them without also being sad for me.

I'm a teacher with a one-year-only contract (grant position) at a new district this year. My confession is that I didn't put in as much effort as I normally do, because I assumed I would have a baby before school started again and not need a job next year. Boy, do I look stupid now.

My confession? Despite being 30 and relatively accomplished, I am still mostly the insecure outsider girl from high school.Anytime I post a question in W2O or 2WW that doesn't get answered I turn into a sulky teenager and assume its because 'i dont fit in'. I'm reading all the posts about BFP posts and all I can think of is that I'm not sure I will ever do one because I'm not sure I'm a real contributing member. But I get so excited when I see a BFP post from someone I do know! @englandxo & @Diordra- you guys had better make posts!
Don't feel bad, I do it too!

I love how attached my one year old is to me, but sometimes I wish my husband was her favorite person so he'd have to get up with her during the night instead of me. She wakes up frequently, and she cries for me even when he tries to settle her, so I usually just give in and take her so she doesn't wake up the older two.
On a related note, I really wish she would decide that she doesn't want to breastfeed any more and just wean herself because I've been trying for over a week, and I don't think I've made any progress.
I hate my SIL. She is selfish, nosey, and randomly turns into a massive massive twat (she later blames PMS. No, you c#!@, PMS did not make you rage text us for 4 hours on Thanksgiving. Crazy did).
So, with that in mind, she recently has been swooning over a seriously weird sexting group she joined (she sexted all throughout our Xmas family event). I found the group online, and ever since have been fighting the urge to have a friend of mine join the group as a spy so we can laugh at her hateful ass.
Ok, I have a pretty terrible one:

A sexting group? Is this some new fangled thing the kids are doing these days?

I know, right? I was skeezed out when she described it in an effort to get me to join. "Why no, SIL, I don't particularily care to pretend to be a man, and describe lewd acts to you via phone".
New confession - One of our senior faculty members is hiring a research coordinator. She just came in raving about how one of the candidates has the same certification that I do. No. No, she does not. She took a class last year - that I taught - where you are given a certificate of completion, and she is now telling everyone that she's certified to do my job. The Fuck?
I just sent the faculty member the link to the online list of certified people so that she can see that person isn't certified. A co-worker mentioned that the woman could probably do the job in question and her current job is going to end, so she needs this. I'm trying not to feel bad, because it's not my fault she lied on her application, resume, and cover letter.

I think you did the right thing. When I hire people I need to know that the person I am hiring is educated and equip to do the job. I know so many people who have been let go for lying on their resume.
Friends of ours got married late last year and are now expecting. Super happy for them, really, I am- they will be great parents. However, really peeved that they already know the sex of the baby but are having a "gender reveal party" (yes, I know it's sex, not gender.. but apparently they don't) I guess to AW themselves. I think those parties are lame, but dude, especially lame if the parents aren't even going to be surprised. Additionally, I got annoyed by the FB invite for the event where the description starts off with "By the grace of God my wife made it to the second trimester..." ooooookay, whatever dudes, I guess God didn't want to grace us with making it to the second trimester. So, FFFC, I'm hoping my husband isn't feeling well that day so we don't have to go (he is donating stem cells a few days before and will have had many Filgrastim shots by then).

I do the samething! I sleep with my stuffed puppy dog that I've had since I was 5 and I get anxious when DH takes him and messes around with him! He teases me that I cuddle with my stuffed dog more than him lol!

FTR @Diordra and @englandxo, I've only been here a few months and even I recognize you both so I wouldn't worry about being a drive by.
@slappalicious, I used to eat sugar out of the bowl too when my mom wasn't around! By the looks of horror on my friends' faces when I tell them that, I thought I was the only one.
My FFFC (kind of a lame one): I live in a relatively small town and 2 different people posted last week in the GTKY thread that they live here. It freaked me out a lot! I went into full stalker mode and am now being super careful about what I post in case I know them IRL.
I just went through all 9 pages of that thread to see if anyone lives close to me. I think someone would have to know me really well IRL to know who I am based on what info I give up.
My FFFC: I can't wait for the February siggy challenge so I can change my siggy. I pretty much just found the first Friends meme I could and stuck that on there. I do really love food though, so I guess it works.
I care way too much about my post count and love-tits.
Same here. I check my love-tits every time I come on, I'm striving for 1K and I think It'll take forever. Because I never think I'm interesting, or something. And when I say something I think is funny and get none, in my head I'm saying "PEOPLE! This was kinda funny!" ... except it probably wasn't at all. I always think I'm funnier than I actually am, but maybe that's not so bad At least I laugh lots at myself :P

I still sleep with Teddy too! However, I want to pass him down to my future kids. But yeah, when I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't find him I have to search for him under the bed, otherwise I can't fall asleep.
I have another one. When I see a BFP posted, I always wait for some regs to post on it so I know if it's a drive by. I'm still new to the board and don't know who has been around for awhile. I don't want to be the odd one out in a sea of flames.
