    My FFFC will have to wait because it is directly related to a pretty recent post and I don't want to get into it...I guess my confession is that most of my confessions have to do with being judgey of stupid people.  Or, people who are asking/doing stupid things.
    No way, dude - spill it! I'm dying of curiosity.
    ME TOO.

    @pnwlover12 I didn't know until this pregnancy, either! I didn't give gifts to any of my bridal shower hostesses. I feel like such an asshole.

    Lame confession, but I've been kind of a dirty lurker lately. I have no clue why I just haven't written replies to lots of threads, but I'm guessing I'm just being lazy. Sorry, friends!
    I went through a lurker phase for awhile too.  This week not so much! Welcome back!

    @apk4‌ hell no would I let them take the car seat. Sorry what if they got in an accident?! Flame me too haha
    Thank you! DH thinks I'm being rude, and I'm not at all. I can't say no, because I've said no to a few other requests recently. I picked out a $90 car seat at Target and I'm going to pick it up on my lunch. I'll let the grandparents keep it or something.

    am I the only one that thinks it's weird she wants to take a car seat car shopping? Can't you basically tell if it's going to fit or not? I'm confused by this...someone PLEASE edumacate me!

    I haven't had my hair cut or colored since last November.  I have roots that now look sort of hombre, they're so long, tons of grays, and all the split ends.  But I don't really give any fucks.  I used to go every 6-8 weeks, but now it's like it takes an event to get me to make a hair appointment - last November, I got my hair done the week before I had sinus surgery, thinking that having nice hair would make me feel better when I was swollen and black-eyed after surgery (it really did help a little).  Now I'm fixing to make another appointment because I'm about to have a baby, and want to look sort of presentable in newborn pictures.  I've even had a gift certificate for my salon sitting on my dresser since Christmas, and still haven't bothered to go.

    I thought it was kinda weird too. I also told DH I thought it would be creepy/hilarious if they put a baby doll in it. The sales people would think they were nuts!

    They have an SUV and want to get a smaller car, as well, that has good gas mileage. I'm assuming they want to make sure that a car seat will still fit if her H is in the passenger seat and has adequate leg room.

    But doesn't the specific car seat they get matter? Not all car seats have the same dimensions. I don't get it.

    Another shower-related FFFC: I don't want to send thank yous. I know I have to. I know I will. I had 200 thank yous done 12 days after our wedding (and we were on our honeymoon for the first 7).

    But NO one else does it anymore. I'm STILL waiting for a thank you from my BIL's wife for doing EVERYTHING for her 2nd reception. Or my gift to her. Or anything. Even a verbal thank you might be nice, while I moved tables, 20 weeks pregnant, and she played on her phone. Why does SHE get to not bother? I'm BUSY. She got married in JANUARY, had a 2nd reception in JULY. What does she have to do? I'm having a BABY. I want to be the rude one.
    On this note, my ILs are super card crazy. They send Valentine's Day cards, etc. I bought thank you cards the day after we got married so DH could sign them and I could get them out right away. He never signed them and I'm waiting on him because I know they will be bothered if I sign for both of us. I have a feeling they think I'm not going to send them, but I have them and it is DH's fault!!

    This was a little odd to me too?  Is she expecting?  Why is she asking you?  And is this really an issue, unless they are buying a smart car don't most car seats fit in the back seat of most cars?  I know there are exceptions but there are smaller seats you can buy if your have a smaller car.

    And if she is really worried about the fit...well, do some online research!

    @MrsBabe614 @MrandMrsBaby @ss265 I agree on all counts! And no, to my knowledge she is not pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant for at least a year.

    juicy, what about? I missed all the drama and caught it this morning.
    -- About the situation going down in Ferguson. I had another strong disagreement with this gal on UO a month or two back, and I just feel like everything she says is completely one sided, and for lack of a better term, ignorant.
    Yeah I think a lot of times people have trouble seeing the other side of situations, esp when you're close to the situation, or one like it. I think as a whole people tend to only think about how they feel about something and not how everyone must feel. Human nature I guess? My cousin is a police officer and I love her dearly but I try not to let that fact effect my judgement on that whole situation. Its just a huge mess!

    re: hostess gifts - One of my hostesses fussed at me for getting hostess gifts and said it was improper. I felt sheepish. 

    re: thank you cards - Hubz is much better at them than I am! He sends TYs for just about everything - a nice dinner out with his grandparents, birthday gifts, etc. I only send for major events. But, I'm not a sentimental person either and have a hard time expressing myself in words. 

    re: Last night's UO - I'm not forming an opinion on the Ferguson situation until all investigations are over and more facts are known/public. As noted in the thread, there are just so many things that are unknown and need to be fleshed out before we get a clear picture of what went on. That said, I don't think we'll ever get a clear picture of what went on :-/

    So my confession is not all that juicy. 
    Someone who was supposedly my best friend in the world, stood up in my wedding and everything apparently was talking shit on DH and I's relationship to her sister and some of our friends. I found this out from her sister a little over a year ago. Some background is that DH and I didn't live together for a very long time because pilots make shit and I needed to keep a decent paying job in order for both of us to survive. Well she told her sister and everyone that DH was DEFINITELY cheating on me and he definitely had a girl on the side. I guess this was her conclusion because he didn't have the time to come home all that often. Maybe a couple days every 2-3 weeks? Well our feelings were so hurt and I didn't know how to handle it so I just swept it under the rug. Since we don't even live anywhere near them anymore I just thought oh well I guess she's not my friend! My feelings are still really hurt by it because it feels like the one person who isn't supposed to judge me does when I'm not around. So I talk a big game when I give people the advice that they need to put their foot down!

    @Spur13 I feel you on that with the thank you cards, everyone that I have given one is all like "why are you giving me a thank you card?" Ugh, I still want to give them as we are so thankful to the people who took the time to go to both showers and also gift us and the baby but I cant help but think my cards are going to the trash  :((.

    Also I wish DH would at least help me out with the ones for the NY one but nop, I am on my own on this one. I can't complain too much as he does everything else in the house right now that does not involve cleaning (we have the cleaning service)
    :\">
    Oh, they ARE going in the trash, don't doubt that, and that is another reason I wish I didn't have to do it. Postage is expensive. I'm using leftover wedding thank you cards (they aren't wedding-related, just flowers on them) at least.

    I know I must do it. I just hate that no one else has to.
