    I plan on BFing DD for as long as possible - 18 months minimum.  The thought of not doing it anymore depresses me also.  We plan on taking her to a different Children's hospital for a second opinion this spring and I worry (as I have with every new specialist we meet) that they will suggest that something in my breast milk is causing her issues.    When they took her from me when she was 2 days old and put her in the special care unit, they made her fast - unnecessarily, it turned out, and told me that I could keep nursing for the time being, but there was a good chance she had galactosemia and I would have to stop.  Then, her results were wonky because they made her fast, and they made me think that was my fault, too.  "Well, you can BF for now..."  Since the genetic testing was negative and there is nothing wrong with the structure of her liver, what if it is me?

    I may have a bit of PTSD from this 9 month long nightmare...
    :(( HUGS!!!

    @ChrissieMeas‌ how about this; I needed to use the restroom but crazy lady from last week was going at the same time and I didn't feel like making small talk or even being in the same room as her so I kept walking right past the restroom to the elevator so I could go to another floors restroom. I farted while in the elevator since I was alone. Then I chuckled to myself because I thought of the next person to use it. I don't think it smelled but still funny.
    The previous office building my company was located in had bathrooms outside the security doors for our floor. Women from other floors used to come use our bathroom because it was always so clean (there aren't a lot of women using the restroom at an engineering firm). I used to get irrationally pissed off at women for coming to poop in our restroom. Our new office is on full lock down, so I only have to share the restroom with 4 other women. The bad thing about that? We all know exactly who enters and exits the restroom when we are in there. 
  • We had toe sock Tuesdays in my "cool" group of friends in high school.

  • @elyse05 I LOVE heavy whipping cream! It's so loaded with fat, though, that I don't use it every day. If we have any around for special occasions (we make our own whipped cream) I totally drink some straight from the carton. 
  • I live near a Carter's outlet and go there almost every week. I tell myself it's just to see what's out and not to buy anything but I ALWAYS buy something. I have a problem.

    Ah! I'm so tempted to do the same! I used to live literally 5 minutes' walk from one so every Saturday DD and I would stroller there. I still go when I can, but it's probably best for my budget that we moved.

  • I am a cold blooded killer. I got home today and there were ants EVERYWHERE on our kitchen floor. It was SO GROSS. I put some water in a bucket and drowned every. single. ant. No mercy. The exterminator is coming tomorrow.
    When I was a kid...my friends and I would catch ants...put them in a bottle of water...and shake it.  Not sure what our goal was...

  • @Altima80‌ a friend of mine started an I hate Herbalife group on FB. I joined because its crap and a total pyramid scheme. People that were my "friends" on FB then unfriended me after I joined. They are brainwashed!
    Ugh, one of my friends does Herbalife too. It's such a crock. They are being investigated by the FTC too.

    What really irks me about the other friend doing another "business" is she'll post stuff like "thanks for all of your support in helping me reach my goal to become executive blah blah blah." I'm thinking, don't you thank people for support if you ask for donations for a cause or something. If this is a "business", you don't try and beg people for "support" or beg them to become a "preferred customer" or some sh*t like that. I read a blog from someone who got sucked into a pyramid scheme and she was told to make every other post about the businesses and post about how great it is for her life and if it isn't that great yet then she was supposed to "fake it till you make it." Ugh and back to my friend, she posted sh*t like "hard work + success = living the dream" or something like that. I'm sorry but posting on facebook isn't "hard work". Again....get a real job....

    What really gets my goat (haha, I just said that...) is that these two friends of mine involved in this are good people and it makes me upset that they are sucked in to this. I thought they were better than that....

  • I dont like basketball.  I havent been able to get into college sports.  Although my NC family is very entertaining this time of year :)  There are a few Duke fans, a few UNC, and a few NC State.

    Being from IN, I know many Purdue folks as well. I lived in West Lafayette while DH was in grad school. We lived 2 blocks from Chauncey. I loved me some Den Pops and still miss the roadhouse fries from Jakes

    Your from IN? How'd I not know that?? I grew up in NW IN, Merrillville .. Do you and dh ever go back for football games?

    @NKF312, I actually root for Purdue (unless they're playing IU, of course.)

    My mom went to IU, but her parents and all her siblings (except the uncle who went to the AF Academy) went to Purdue. My dad also went to IU, but he had two brothers graduate from Purdue, so it's a fun family rivalry.

    I actually cheer for everyone in the Big Ten except Ohio State and I would cheer for them, but when I was there with the marching band when IU played them, we were treated horribly: had beer poured over our heads, had people trying to rip instruments out of our hands, and we had to have a security escort anytime we needed to go to the bathroom. It wasn't the OSU students either, but grown "adults" who felt the need to show how classy they could be.

    I have some cousins at IU now.. We like to give them a hard time :) now that I don't live in the area anymore if Purdue isn't doing well ill root for the other big 10 teams too

    @Karebear6978 a margarita sounds great! Did you get your assignments done? I'm 3/4 through and about to call it a night. Especially since I'm now in "nap jail."
