@RQuinlin‌, you tried to decline but they are persistent I would honestly ride the crazy train. Since its sounds like most of your new friends want to do it and talked about it they will probably be the only ones invited. But I'm not an etiquette chick....waiting for thier input.

I agree - you can only decline so many times. It's like when someone tries to pick up the check. I think "they" say to only decline twice and offer to pay, but I mean what are you going to do if someone is persistent?

@kellbell1982‌ (warning: this turned into a book sorry lol) I have multiple piercings in my ears, my tongue and nose. As much as I used to love my piercings, and I did love them, there came a time where I had to make the decision to maybe grow up a little. It was a sad sad day when I had to make this decision lol but for me I felt like the excessive ear piercings and the nose and tongue were a little young for me. And im really not that old I only just turned 24 and I did it about a year ago. I dunno I see older people with those piercings where I just think...NO!! Lol so i toned to just 2 in each ear on the bottom and one cartilage. Now a year later I still have the holes in my ears and nose and tongue and can actually still get a stud through my nose which I put in like a month ago cuz I just happened to find one and while I still thought I could rock it lol it just looked weird to me and SO was appalled lol I totally understand what your going through some may not but your piercings have become like a part of who you are and at first it may be a little weird but you will be thankful in the long run. I mean how many mom's in the PTA or the soccer games have facial dermals

jk hehe but my advice would be to go for it, take them out and maybe try some Maderma or something like that for the scars. Sorry about the book lol but I do get it!

Half baked ice cream is the best! @chunkymonkeylvr, when I was completing my student teaching, the teacher I was working with (who'd been teaching for over 20 years), made fun of one of our second graders behind his back, saying he was nerdy, etc.

I was so pissed and stood up for that little boy, and while I don't have direct experience with this affecting my child, I would definitely say something to that parent. Bullying, esp by adults to another child, is seriously the lowest of the low and there is just no excuse for it.

@drudolph11‌ I watched blended it was so funny.
@ToasterCat‌ happy birthday
@stepherly‌ we have to go back too, they couldn't get the pictures of the spine either, the little guy just wouldn't flip over

My random we finally picked a name Chase James

rowboat4 · October 2014

Who gives two shits what other moms have?? I'm sorry, but you can't say with certainty that someone else "will be thankful in the long run." Maybe a particular look isn't for you anymore, and that's fine. You can do whatever you'd like with your body. But PLEASE don't tell someone else they should base their personal aesthetic choices on the opinions of others. We can't all look like "soccer moms" and not everybody wants to. I think a little variety makes life more interesting. Maybe try not judging so hard.

drudolph11 · October 2014

Is it weird that I just wipped my salad lettuce off with a paper towel? Bahaha I don't like a lot of dressing, just enough to cover the stuff and for the taste especially the really vinegary ones. Bleh but no matter how hard I try I always freaking put too much dressing on I don't know it's like I put the dressing on then second guess myself and think it's just not enough them it's too freaking much!!!!...Yup that's what I did haha so therefore I just spent my whole lunch basically soaking and blotting the dressing off my lettuce. Like I would put a bite on my fork then wrap it in the paper towel and then soaked the extra off the bottom haha That's so weird lol

goofygoff · October 2014

Happy Birthday @ToasterCat !

Congrats @MrsLaurenandDan ! I'm so happy for you!

Happy Anniversary, @cafecreme !

@chunkymonkeylvr Sorry you're having to deal with that bullshit. ((hugs))

D and I talked it over last night, and decided it would be best for me to withdraw from my Calc II class. It's my only on campus class this quarter (hooray for online classes!), and the deadline to withdraw with a 50% refund is Saturday. We didn't want to take a chance that I'll just be put on full bed rest next week anyway, and lose out on $400. So, I'm taking it very easy today, and have my feet up on the couch with my Snoogle. Thank Jeebus for our wireless keyboard, mouse and 55 inch TV hooked up to my gaming computer.

Also, it wasn't all bad news yesterday. Theodore looked great and was only a little uncooperative. The tech couldn't get a good look at his kidneys, so I'll be going back in two weeks for that and what will be the second check on my cervix length.

mangomimosa · October 2014

@kcbizme I'm glad things went well! It's amusing how people who marry those who already have children balk at the idea of being grandma/grandpa. My parents both were excited but each of their respective SO's (my future step-parents) said: "I am NOT going to be a grandparent." annnnd I was ok with that.

Oh she has pretty much hated me since I was little. She despises girls and luckily had 2 boys. There is a LOT of bad history there (more stories for another day) and she and I have never gotten along. My dad jokes about it now, and he's even said if he could do it again he wouldn't have married her, but hindsight is always 20/20. So he joked about calling her granny because we both know she would freak out at the term. It was quite funny imagining her reaction, actually.

Should I suck it up and go or delay another weekend and go the following weekend when it is supposed to be in the 70s? Is that too late? I don't want to take our fam pic in summer atire at the pumpkin patch!!!!!!!!

We were going to go this weekend but are postponing for the same reason. If it's still too hot, we'll postpone another week. It's no big deal for us though since we will carve the pumpkins a few days before Halloween.

Tonight was definitely a hot turkey/mashed potato/cranberry sauce bowl night. Along with a buttered roll and big cookie. Hunger pains are no joke when you're pregnant.

@kellbell1982‌ if your unsure about them could you change them from stars to small studs? Maybe a change of scenery would ease your mind. I think they are cute, but I'm heavily tattooed and have a few piercings so I'm partial to that stuff!

You had me at guns and coffee, this just confirms youre my bump girl crush :x

ruemorgan · October 2014

Im really starting to think when I felt the baby "move," it was actually a bust. I swear someone poked me from inside but 3 weeks later and I havent felt anything. Not even flutter! my baby's just as lazy as me.

Move, baby, move!

kcbizme · October 2014

I hate when I call customer service and can't understand the person I'm talking to. Just got off the phone with one such person, and she had an accent, but the part that made her hard to understand is she slurred all of her words together! I don't know what half of what she said was. Seriously.

I just want to eat taco sauce every day. I don't think I can force my family to have tacos too many more nights just because I'm craving taco sauce.

The correct answer is always 'tacos'.

I have yet to really get a strong craving for anything in particular but I have found myself immediately wanting something that I see. For example, I saw a Frosted Flakes commercial so then I really wanted Frosted Flakes. Saw Monica eating popcorn on Friends and really wanted popcorn. I don't have either BUT I do have Corn Pops. It's the perfect compromise!

Yes! Exactly this. I have to stay away from TB when I have actual dinner plans, because if I don't, the plans will get changed.

Somebody told me the other day (yesterday? They all run together now) that she was tired of calling companies and talking to people who don't sound like they're from America.

I said, word for word, "I'm sorry if you don't think I sound like I'm from America."

And then she got all pissy with me.

Yup same thing going on here. I swear I felt a jab from the inside I even swear I saw it but since then nothing. We have even tried the flashlight trick and laying on my side and all that but still nothing. Baby is getting my laziness!! But then again when I do my fetal doppler I can get the heart beat with no problem but it moves constantly I can never keep it in one spot for more than 10 seconds. Who freaking knows hahahaha

I don't care where they're from. I just think people who deal with customer service should speak as clearly as possible so they can be understood when speaking, no matter what language or where they are from. Accents are a-okay in my book. It's her slurring I had the issue with. I felt like I was talking to a drunk person.

ETA: Even if it was an "American" doing customer service for another country with a different language, I feel you should know how to speak that particular language if you are going to be dealing with people on a regular basis.

I can't claim to know a lot about the subject but here's a link to an article in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics that several articles are referencing:

https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2013/03/12/peds.2012-2203.abstract

Basically saying preliminary research indicates restricting pacifiers does the opposite of what these pro-breastfeeding initiatives are hoping to accomplish.
