I think one of my FB friends changed her sons name. We worked together a few years ago and don't ever talk, but whenever she posts about him she never uses the name they gave him at birth. At first I thought it was a nickname but 1. It is completely irrelevant to his name and 2. She never ever ever uses his original name. I will forever wonder about this because I have no balls to ask

OK, you're going to have to tell the names. Is the second one better?

adding some periods to make it not searchable. His birth name is ale.ksa.nder and they call him sa.sh.a.

Sasha is a nickname for Aleksander in Russian. :-) I have a friend from Russia who is the exact same way.

well thanks for solving the mystery for me!

Trust me, I thought it was really weird too...I was introduced to him as Aleks, but his wife and friends all call him Sasha. I had to ask. :-) If you hear it with the Russian accent it sounds much less feminine than in English.

I was about to say the same thing, I knew at least 3 people growing up who had the same name.

I was coming on to say this. Mystery solved. Although, I have to say I first think of Sasha for a girl.

While I was busy updating my resume my DD came to me with her sock and held it out to me like it was something special. Oh it was special alright, it was full of her craisins that I gave her for a snack. She put them in the sock she has worn all day. SMH.

Maybe his middle name? DH's cousin flipped back and forth between going by her first or middle name. I don't even know which is which.

ETA: Never mind, should have kept reading.

Yes, apparently there are blood vessels or sumshit in your bumhole.

I'm listening to Nick Lachey's CD on Spotify from when he and J-Simps broke up.I'm reliving 2006 and loving it. But I'm sad that Ashley Parker Angel is not on Spotify.

There's going to be an O-town concert this summer at a nearby music hall. I was bummed to see he's not part of the group! I was never into NSYNC or BSB, but I loved O-town b/c I had met them a few times while working for a radio station. My BILs still tease me about my crush, lol.

It's nice to see someone else who actually has even heard of APA! Now I need to dig out my old pics...swoon.

@Bosha711, I will need to see this pics just to live vicariously through your past.

Also, what are you next steps forward in regards to your treatment?

I will have MH dig out my photo album out of the closet for me so I can scan them! I took pics with them once on the USS Intrepid for a morning radio show event & a second time in their trailer before a summer concert. My friend & I convinced their manager (what was that heavy set guy with the glasses name from their reality show??) to let us in to bring them bottles of water.

One of the best pics I had with them, I had hanging in my cube at my other P/T job & someone stole it!!

I just got a mani/pedi. I didn't leave a tip because the lady asked me: "When are your twins due?" Well, skank, my one baby is due tommorow.

And then she said I must not want to know the sex because I don't like to shop. Yup, nailed it.

Thanks for the suggestions! So, House of Cards, The Good Wife and Boardwalk Empire are on my list. I tried watching Revenge when it first started airing, couldn't get into it. I'd forgotten about Arrested Development, I've watched all episodes, but a re-watch might be in order.

I hate this stupid box.

When I was on ML I binge watched Weeds & re-watched Six Feet Under. Six Feet Under is my F A V O R I T E show of all time. It's just so cathartic and fantastic and had the best ending of any series I ever watched. Weeds was also good, but got weird by the 3rd ish season. I kept watching until it wrapped up, but yea...I can see why people gave up on that one.

I'd pick Six Feet Under over Boardwalk Empire anyday. I watched the first 2 seasons of it and it never seemed to get good until the last 2 episodes of the season. I gave up after Season 2.

Someone I went to HS with is 39wks pregnant and posted "I'm 39wks pregnant. When you say stupid things to me, I have a hard time not telling you that you're stupid." I feel like you could adopt that for the next few days until LO gets here. :-)

PenelopePond · May 2014

Brother's girlfriend has been complaining daily that her baby isn't here yet. She's 39w today. She's been cramping all day. Apparently she showed up at labor and delivery with her bag. They told her to come back later when she feels like she's dying. She's super pissed

So I don't sound like a total bitch, she's been giving the play by play of how far dilated she is, how she's been losing her mucus plug over the last week, and debating with herself if she should actually have sex with my brother (all of this in Facebook). She wants to bring on labor, but doesn't want to get an infection.

ETA: I'm sure you guys are sick of me complaint about this chick. Sorry. I promise I won't say anything else about it unless my niece is here or she makes it to 41w and I'm dancing around like a lunatic.

HFM is now going around 4 rooms at daycare. We're screwed.

PenelopePond · May 2014

My blood pressure is a little high and I feel like garbage. I'm sure it's nothing, but I'm a total hypochondriac. Blah.

miss50 · May 2014

@danabsd is tomorrow your birthday too? or does elfster just keep telling me the wrong birthdates for people?

miss50 · May 2014

@marisakathleen, those are two of my very favorites.

Six feet under had the best start to each show.

Please do me a favor and watch "The Black Donnelly's". Quick series and easy to get through.

miss50 · May 2014

@origamipoppy Anytime I hear about a Subaru I think of the commercial where they show the vehicle all smashed up and "they lived" comes from the tow truck driver. I want a Subaru now and have never so much cared for them in the past.

KellersPrag · May 2014

YES! Six Feet Under is fantastic, too.

Guys! The found the guy I was friends with in HS! And he's alive. He was missing for a week, I'm so glad they found him.

That's great! Do they know what happened?

I love my outback like I have never loved a car in my life! It is comfortable and there is so much space, we also really like the built in roof rack.

LOL nope @miss50. It's my due date. I have a feeling it thinks it's my birthday from an M14 onsie exchange.

You might escape it! It's making the rounds at our school too and so far both kids are in the clear. Fingers crossed and sending you anti-HFM fairy dust.

Bahah, thanks! I really hope so but I have my sincere doubts. I have no luck when it comes to that. And I know that if she gets it, I'd be one of the adults that gets it.
