At what point is it considered justifiable slappage?

If this is the computer challenged coworker, tell her to find you some facts online about preservatives in your food. Then you'll discuss.

I got my first "are you sure you aren't having twins?" comment today!

I didn't have anything good as a come back though. All I could muster was a "seems that way." Which makes no sense.

I got one this weekend too! WTF! I wasn't feeling big until that comment, thanks ice cream store dude...

Just wait until your kid is old enough to make you some kind of craft on his/her own and presents it to you with their little chest all puffed up and proud and says, "Mommy, do you wike it?" GAWD I love babies.

And just wait until your kid is coming home with his pockets full of weeds he plucked from the pre-k playground and they're all flattened and a wadded mess and oh my GOD, you still put them in a tiny jar full of water because EEEEE SWEET BOY.

I have kept every single piece of Abigail's artwork. I feel like a hoarder. But I can't get rid of it. It feels wrong to throw it away.

I've been listening to Neil Degrasse Tyson all day while working.

He gives me a nerd boner. I didn't realize he was funny too

DH is in what could be his final week (or 2 weeks) of this legislative session which means super long days with no food. I like ensuring that he is the best employee (forget the fact that he really is amazing at his job) by stocking his briefcase with homemade granola bars so he can share. I'm not above bribery ;-) I just pulled a batch from the oven & they smell so good it is going to be a HUGE act of love for me to not eat them!

Also, my weirdo dog is walking circles around the couch because it's almost his dinner time. He does this every day starting anywhere from 30 mins - an hour before he eats. He's odd.

Care to share your recipe? I've been looking for a good one for awhile now.

MonkeyJD · April 2014

@helloblueeyes‌ I use the same recipe every time because they always come out perfect. I just tweak it based on what fruit/nut combo I have in the pantry. I usually double the recipe & bake them in a 9x13 pan.

Omg. It is baby mania. I've seen about 6 ish Facebook pregnancy announcements this week. It's going to be a very busy summer/fall!

chevronseven · April 2014

My husband is a troll. I never know whether to think it's embarrassing or hilarious. Like, he will just say shit (online AND in person) that he doesn't actually think, just for shock value and to get a rise out of people. Thankfully he only does it to people who know him well enough to appreciate his sense of humor, but I'm really worried that eventually he's gonna throw out a racist or sexist comment to the wrong person!

Um.. at least 2 steps before where you are now. How you haven't gone off on her yet is a miracle.

I can't. She's new and I work in a very small office. In my head though. In my head. It was hummus too. She was checking my hummus for preservatives. She also offered me wheat germ for my oatmeal.

Lol! He just responded to his best friend's Facebook status. She's due a few weeks after me and is having Braxton Hicks contractions. He told her those aren't a real thing, usually just has or psychosomatic. Eat less beans and listen to the ocean, they'll subside.

When I first joined TB, he kept saying how fun it would be to troll on here and how he bets half the members are 14 year old boys just being little assholes.

I totally get this. I'm in a similar situation.

Actually my co-worker and i have taken to sitting back and laughing at her, especially the memos she sends out. I've seen better work out of 4th graders.

And at my boss. He's gone off the deep end and since we both are planning to jump ship we really don't know what else to do.

Actually our District Manager asked today what was going to happen when i went out on ML and i just laughed and said good question.

nola 1017 · April 2014

Ew, the idea of eating wheat germ right now makes me want to hurl.

I've been offline all day traveling to Nashville and visiting with friends. I feel so disconnected!

Love227 · April 2014

I'm so weepy today. My brother in law asked me how I've been feeling these days. I said," physically, good." I could feel myself welling up with tears and I just started crying, told him I couldn't talk, and walked away. What the heck?!

Just watched an episode of House where he ripped into a mother refusing to vaccinate.

I'm planning on memorizing his speech for my cousin's wife this holiday season.

I should go find that & watch it. All over the news today was a story about the rise in preventable diseases & how an infectious disease doctor at Vanderbilt wants the state to require kids to get vaccinated unless they are medically unable. Right now you can opt out for medical or religious reasons. I made the mistake of reading the Facebook comments on the local news stations page. MORE THAN 1 PERSON SAID VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM!!!!!!! I want to go find those people & slap them. I'm so angry & dumbfounded right now. I need to go read that crazy blog/old TTGP post just to make myself laugh & calm down.

Hmm I should go find the new study done on autism to post here, it was quite fascinating...

I think I was a little off my game because I was in the mall with DD and this woman was clearly a new grandma strutting her stuff with her son who was carrying a wee little newborn. She was chatting up everybody who walked by. She reminded me of my own grandma with some of her mannerisms so I think that what threw me. It was pretty amusing, but yea, no common sense.

Is that the one where they are finding links to autism forming while baby is still in the womb? Something to do with how the brain develops in layers. I saw an interview on CBS This Morning a few weeks ago & it was fascinating.

Random heartbreaking story that has me in tears at 5am in the morning. (Loss mentioned)

Ekg688 · April 2014

A much older co-worker asked me if I was sure I wasn't having twins because "im so big already" ... she then went on to tell me I might want to get a second opinion bc twins can lay on top of each other so one of them becomes invisible.
A) I'm pretty sure your children were birthed on the Oregon trail.THAT'S how old she is.

Tell me more about this invisible twin ... they must also share a heartbeat!

C) Forget a second opinion, can you just look up there and let me know what's going on? I definitely don't trust all the medical technology we have today to determine the amount of babies inside me!

It really doesn't bother me if their kids get sick. Some people scream outrage in defense of their defenseless children that could get sick, not me. I don't care.
