I bought and have been using a Squatty Potty. Honestly.... it's awesome. I know there was a thread about it awhile ago, but with my maybe IBS/maybe Crohns issues it has been more helpful than I realized.
Married 9-1-12 (On Depo until 4-12) Me- 33, DH- 36
NTNP starting 9-12, Actively TTC since 9-13
My DX- Hypothyroidism. Prescribed Synthroid
DH's DX- Severe MFI- first SA results: 1.3 mill (1.2 mill motile), 21.6% motility, 2% morphology
Blood test revealed low testosterone so DH was prescribed Clomid. Repeat blood test and SA in November.
I had a dream a few nights ago that Keegan-Michael Key asked me for a BJ. When he dropped his pants, I laughed and said my H's penis was way bigger. I ended up giving him a BJ anyways.
My confession is that I felt so guilty about the dream that I haven't told DH about it and because I've felt so guilty, I've been going out of my way to do super nice things for him, like fill up his gas tank and do his laundry.
@katydid2014 and @holly628, if you have a footstool it would kind of work, but the nice thing about the Squatty Potty is it's arranged so it wraps around the front of the toilet. You can change foot positions in case you get a cramp or something from being on there too long.
And yes, I've had to do that... I will be SO happy when we figure out what is wrong with my stomach!

I am shamelessly addicted to farm heros saga and Simcity 4...again. I had been hooked a few weeks right after grad school but then I got a job and had no time. I played them the other day for shits and giggles and now am rehooked. This is not helping my procrastination tendencies.

Okay, I have a good one this Friday. The show "Orange is the New Black" isn't quite so taboo and amazing when you've lived it. When I was 21, I spent 3 months in a Federal low security faculty for a very similar offense to Pipers. The show is wildly accurate and fun to watch tho!
Edit: I forgot Federal, details seem important somehow LOL.

Maybe this is an UO? One of my friends "challenged" me to that stupid cold water challenge and for some reason it really pisses me off. There is no point in dousing myself in cold water within 24 hours. What does that do for charity? Nothing. Maybe I already have plans. Maybe I don't have plans and I don't want to do it anyway because it's stupid. It's also not cool to put people on the spot to donate money. You don't know what we already do to donate or give and you don't know our financial situation. I can't express how much I despise gimmicky shit like this.
@lizabethc, sorry to hear you're still having stomach problems..Did you ever go through with the testing?
I am having a colonoscopy in August (the soonest appt they had available) and am waiting for a referral to an endocrinologist since my thyroid problems could be causing/contributing to the stomach problems. Thanks for asking though! For now I'm watching what I eat/drink and cutting things out to see if it makes a difference.

My confession - My DH is going to be out of town for work starting July 5th, and be gone through October 11th, he was supposed to come home every two weeks but his boss is being a complete douche monger and is going to keep him there. So now I have been scouring kayak and priceline looking for options for last minute flights so I can go down and see him at the drop of a hat when I "think" I'll be ovulating. I realize what a long shot the timing will be, but the idea of siitting on the bench for the entire summer because my husbands boss is a unorganized pile of shit is just not something I can deal with at the minute. So much for getting my credit card down.
I also have another. Ever since I "got lost" over in M15 earlier this week, I now frequent it regularly to watch all the new inexperienced people make fools out of themselves.
Example: this lady who posted her intro on *last weeks FFFC they're doing over there.
I should also note, I don't post. Just lurk.

I lurk BMBs way more than I should. They are fascinating to me.
I spent WAY more time than appropriate recently stalking the Facebook announcements on N14 and D14, and now have been keeping up with the gender announcements. There are so many cute ideas!

Last night I stayed out way too late because my friend is in from Alaska. So today at work the kiddos and I will just be lazy and watch movies all days. (It's also raining, so whatevs).
My office is closing early today at 3:00. I didn't tell the husband or nanny about it and I'm treating myself to a mani/pedi before I arrive home at my usual time.

Anytime someone I know announces they're pregnant I stalk what would be their BMB to see if they're on here.
There was a lot of drama surrounding a coworker of mine this week and my confession is I hope he decides he is fed up and leaves or gets fired because he is truly a narcissistic asshole and is awful to work with.
H was supposed to go away for the weekend to a bachelor party, but he decided last night not to go because I was gone last weekend and he wants to spend the weekend together. Super sweet, and I love him tons, but I am a little disappointed I don't get to sleep like a starfish in a King sized bed all to myself.
I starfish tits down.
---------END QUOTE--------- This made me LOL so hard my dog had to come check on me to make sure I wasn't dying.
My FFFC: I daily wish harm on my DHs boss because she is horrible and is single-handedly bringing down a whole market's worth of veterinary hospitals. So many people have quit because of her bullshit that the people left are working 60+ hours a week just to keep things running. So excuse me for day dreaming that a piano falls on that bitch today.

I am addicted to Simpsons Tapped Out, so I feel you...
My SO works 13 hour night shifts with a one hour drive to and from work, 5 nights one week and 2 nights the next week. I am a tits down starfish 5 nights a week every other week. It. Is. Glorious.
OK so I already mentioned this but I am not only fairly addicted to the Simpson's Tapped Out game, I read the message boards about it and I have spent 100 dollars on the game. I am so embarrassed but I enjoy it OK????

This happened to me as well, my mom who lives in MI challenged my H and I to it. Too bad the only body of water that is close by is the Potomac River and I really don't feel like developing a third eye-ball.
Also - I sleep like a dead person, and not just that I sleep soundly. I sleep on my back, hands crossed on my chest, feet straight out. I think it gives R the creeps, he is a wild sleeper, we'll say starfish, snail, half -on / half-off most nights. But he's also 6' 6" so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that it takes him a moment to find a comfortable sleeping position.

FX he leaves. I just found out this morning the person in the office who I don't get along with, and he sounds very similar to your coworker, is leaving his last day is Monday!
TTC #1 since April 2014 Me (29) DH (29) Married 5+ years
My confession: In order to get our underweight toddler to eat, he had a breakfast of yogurt, dried blueberries, fruit snacks, and cheezits. Up until March, I was certified as a nutrition consultant. And I not only brought junk food into my house, but I'm feeding it to my toddler at meal times. NOOOOOOO! I would say I won't do it again, but I'm sure at some point I will.
DH has been working 11 hour days for the past 12 days. Our toddler has adjusted his schedule so he's awake when his daddy gets home, which translates to 4 hours of sleep per day for me. Confession: I deal better with deployment than this crap.
There would be no end in sight to the no-days-off thing, but we're about to go visit my parents. During my first fertile week of TTC. Confession: I don't know whether to tell my husband "screw it" and skip this cycle, or whether to ask my mom to run interference so I can screw my husband.

I have been known to do all this. Especially on a slow day here, I lurk the boards and do not post (except once at the beginning of M15 when ever one was saying IF they got KU what would their due date be, I felt I had a right there). Now I lurk and laugh, and get ideas for annuncements to H, family, the world, etc!

FFFC I am terrified of TTGP for so many reasons. I have been adamant and vocal in the past about not wanting children. This was mostly due to marital stress among other things. Now that Hubs and I are better together I want to be excited for this part of our marriage but I'm scared.
