  I talk to my dog. A lot. I'm talking full on one sided conversations.

  This seems pretty normal to me.  I talk to my cats.  But, they talk back.

  Mine talk back all the time.  Our conversations usually go something like this:

  Me:"no"

  Her:"meow?"

  Me:"no"

  Her"MEOW?"

  Me:"No"

  Her:"MROW?"

  Me:"no"

  Her:"MROW!" (Which seems to mean "right now")

  And the conversation is usually on repeat until we go out.
  

  I've walked in on DH having a political debate with Hermione.
  
  DH: I don't care what you say, Hillary Clinton would make a great president!
  Hermione: Meowowowowow!
  
  And so on. Talking cats are so much fun.
  

  Good for your DH, DH!  But I don't know why Hermione was (apparently) arguing the con this point!  I'm glad your DH is setting her straight. 

  
  

  My cat, Frasier is a huge talker, but he shuts up every time I try to video it.

  Hug @divinemsbee and hoping&waiting12!  I can't believe I had some hope last cycle too.  I hadn't really charted or temped much over the last few months, but started again last cycle. It was like charting again and seeing ovulation and knowing that timing was great, etc, and still got my period was kind of worse than having some unknowns.  It's all such a mindfuck.

  FFFC: I accidentally texted my boss last night about something that happened at work and ended it with "WTF???" She didn't reply but when I realized I sent it to her, I responded and said "Woah. My phone is so messed up. I just alerted me that this message failed to send even though we talked about it earlier and it auto-corrected WHAT to WTF." She responded and said, "HA!! I didn't think it was like you to curse!!"
  
  If she only knew.
  

  Ha!
  
  My boss is Mormon.  I'm mindful to not bring up alcohol-centric (happy hour!!) or caffeine-centric (let's go get coffee!) social things for the lab to do.  I also try to gently remind the others in my lab the same.  Not that he couldn't come or something, but he's private and I've worked with him for quite awhile (>10 years!) so I know his comfort levels on things.
  
  But, dammit... sometimes "fuck" just slips out when I'm talking to him.  And I feel TERRIBLE.  Every time.  But, I have heard him curse a time or two so I feel a little better.  But mostly not.
  
  My graduate advisor hired me after my first meeting with him in his office.  It wasn't until after I left that I remembered with a horrified gasp that I had said "It was a crazy project.  Fuck.  I had no idea how complicated it would be.  But, I got it to work."  He didn't miss a beat so I didn't even realize.
  
  My sailor mouth must get under control at some point.
  

  
  OK- I don't even go here, but Mormons can't have caffeine?

  I'm not Linds, but my mom lives in UT as a non-Mormon, but she works with a lot of Mormons, and I lived there for a bit, and you are correct.
  
  Utah also consumes the most ice cream per capita of any state in the union. Surprising, considering the cold. And they eat tons of Jello.

  Ok so here's an actual confession from me, I've shared it with one other person already, but I'm still thinking about it.

  
  

  I'm really scared about taking clomid. Like I'm going to be completely monitored appropriately, I've been through the full testing requirements and I'm still like oh fuck clomid is the devil. I even asked my RE about doing a different med instead, but he's really certain that's what will work best. 

  
  

  So these rando posters talking about taking it all care free really piss me off. Like wake the fuck up it isn't all rainbows and sunshine. 

  :::HUGS:::  Clomid is really a good drug if you need it and you're being monitored, which you are!  The only time you should be scared of CloClo is if you weren't being monitored or you weren't fully tested beforehand.
  
  Good luck and I hope that it gives you "Da Extra Boost" you need!!
  

  First of all ((hugs)) @Diordra. I've been there and odds are that I'll be there again.
  
   I was cold sweat terrified even though I'd been through all the testing and trust my doc and we had many long conversations about it. I know why we talk like we do about Clomid on the board, and it makes sense for people who think it's magic baby candy, but I also know that, for people that need it and use it correctly, it's a good drug. I had to psyche myself up before the first pill, like I thought something horrible was going to happen the second I swallowed. It didn't, and I had plenty of monitoring and a doctor to talk to. It's a shitty place to get to, needing the drugs, but they can and do help so many people. ((hugs)) again.

  I am hopelessly addicted to Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and I pay cash so my husband doesn't rag on me about paying that much for a cup of coffee I could make at home.

  
  

  But it wouldn't taste nearly as good.

  
  

  And before you worry that DH is a jerk for checking up on my expenditures: we tried both managing our bank account.  Instead, I let him do it and occasionally give me direction on what to spend/what not to, and because of that, we are still married.  I hate math anyway.

  Tomorrow is our anniversary and I havent gotten DH anything.  At least I made him a card.

  I'm so bad at buying H gifts. Not bad at picking them out (I'm a really good gift-picker-out-er for everyone), but bad about not going to actually buy them. I do have an anniversary card (ours is next month) that I saw months ago and had to buy because it's perfectly us. 
  
  I'm the same way about Christmas presents for everyone, I always get caught up last minute before things need to go in the mail. I should start buying/ordering things when I see them and putting them away (thus completing my evolution into my mother).

  I haven't taken a shower for 2 days and I'm still spotting from my m/c. I'm not exactly fresh as a daisy down there right now. Is it bad that IDGAF? And, DH and I are going to a wedding tonight. I so want to pull the m/c card, sit in my sweats/filth, and stuff my face with ice cream and chocolate.

  ((Hugs)) I went from showering a couple times the first few days of my MC to really down and not showering for a whole weekend. Take care of yourself.

  So I admittedly stopped short of reading the whole thread before posting and didn't see this until after I posted, but I wanted to agree with @LDubHawksFan and say, it's not bad that YDGAF.  I barely moved for at least three days after mine.  Eventually, you will shower again.  And eventually, you will smile and actually feel happy.  T&P

  Unfortunately, it is a real phrase. It means in actual fact. It's just ugly. "In fact" is shorter and gets the same point across.

  This is the most endearing thing I have ever read. I love you haha.

  Followup FFFC: after spending considerable time here, I think there might be something seriously miswired in my brain in that I can't get on the Benedict Cumberbatch Sexy Train (also my 70s band name). I think I get it objectively, but I just don't feel it. What else can I watch him in that might make me see the light? Honestly, I was sort of more into Watson. What is wrong with meeeeeee? And for the record, I'm usually not the one attracted to the pretty boys - my favorite recent TV guys are Matthew Rhys, Rupert Friend, Bill Hader, and Corey Stoll. And also for the record, I am definitely always on the Loki Sexy Train.

  I enjoy the show, and he's great in it, but he's not my bag either. The voice is nice, but it only carries so far. For the record, my crush on the show is Detective Lestrade.

  You guys,
  
  I know you were waiting with baited breath.
  
  I'm back.
  
  In my absence: 1. please stop torturing ducks, 2. GBCB was weird, 3. MOAR WINE
  

  Just going to jump in here because it's a pet peeve of mine....
  
  The phrase is actually "with bated breath." It comes from the verb "abate," which means "to reduce or lessen."
  

  
  

  But @littleliverpill can say anything - She's earned that right being in Vietnam.  

  
  

  In actuality isn't a real phrase.

  
  

  Unfortunately, it is a real phrase. It means in actual fact. It's just ugly. "In fact" is shorter and gets the same point across.
  
  But I'm confused why this came up?
  
  
  -----
  I apologize for not phrasing that in the most satisfactory manner. I only meant for it to be a statement of fact, with no ugly connotation implied.

  A Cumberbatch, hahahahahahahaha

  
  

  A Cumberbatch is a person, as in Benedict Cumberbatch. Please to see my siggy.

  This completely reminds me of an old coworker, who used to put random "the"s and "a"s in front of names and titles to express his confusion or disdain. He was the only guy stuck on a team with six women and was frequently exasperated with us. Example: 

  
  

  "What, exactly, is a Lady Gaga?"

  "Can you people stop talking about the Channing Tatum?"

  No longer posting on The Bump due to the appalling misconduct of the staff and of its parent company, the XO Group. Four thousand  active, engaged members do not represent "a few bad apples" and we are not trolls.

  Sorry to say I do not get the Cumberbatch thing.

  
  

  FFFC: I ate a whole box of Wheat Thins today.  Okay, I started it yesterday.  But still.  You know when you're doing other stuff and then you reach in the box and...oh...no more Wheat Thins...

  I much prefer drinking during the day. I can't remember the last time I had a drink after 9 p.m.

  I should look into day drinking so I don't have to pee all night. You may be onto something @cjchio
