FFFFFFC?

We're really phoning it in, huh.

I have no idea how to clean my humidifier, and it is probably chalk full of mold and my baby's gon die. I accidentally threw away the manual and I keep inspecting it and trying to figure out what I'm supposed to clean and where this elusive mold lurks that everyone insists grows in all humidifiers. I'm stumped. I need to figure out what model it is and google it, but I keep forgetting.

My baby still has never worn shoes.

Work gave me a cell phone when I started 2 1/2 years ago. I gave it to DH for his personal use and he carries it, and I carry no cell phone. Thankfully after a few months of never reaching me, all my co-workers stopped calling it.

It also took me 9 months to set up my office phone's voice mail account.

After years of being on call, I love being unreachable. There are no educational emergencies.

We were really unhappy with the daycare Emma was going to and so we found a new one.

The FFFC part is we never told the old daycare but just stopped taking her.

But this has also confirmed by decision to switch becuase she hasn't gone to them in 2 weeks now and no one has called. You would think with all the reports this summer of kids getting forgotten in cars they might want to account for kids who don't show.

Vinegar and water. We have a Crane (looks like a water drop) but I assume it would apply to most.

I just remembered it's chock full, not chalk full. Fail.

But, like...what do you clean? Like, what part of it?

I just went to teach a small group lab this afternoon. I reorganized the students from groups of 5 to groups of 7 so that the lab needed one fewer instructor. Then I left.

OMG, I'm so glad you corrected this. I wanted to say something but I didn't want to be THAT person.

ETA: so that's my confession. I'm THAT person in my head, all day, everyday.

sleepy33 · November 2014

The basin...is like the bottom part that holds the reservoir on top? That's what I can't figure out, there's like nothing to clean on it.

Ok, this is my humidifier:

I am also that person, which is why I lit-rally couldn't handle it. I also couldn't just edit it, I had to stand there in my wrongness and be wrong.

I've had skin cancer twice and had to have two moles removed because of it. I still go tanning at a salon occasionally.

This is LIT-rally the dumbest thing I have ever read. You seem like you love your child...don't let him lose his mother to something so preventable.

muffyvonmuff · November 2014

@afolske106‌ have you ever tried sephora tan spray? It's my favorite and won't kill you (I hope)

Jenball717 · November 2014

I used to tan as a teen, then my dad got cancer and I realized that not only was it like a slap in the face to him for me to be a consumer of a known carcinogen, I also NEVER want to have to fight the battle he fought. Nothing glamorous about chemo, radiation, bone marrow transplants, organ removal, or death.

That one hit a nerve.

Eta: autocorrect changed "never" to "nevernude". Wtf autocorrect?!

There's always money in the banana stand.

The base and tank. I fill them both with warm water and a little vinegar and let them sit for about 30 minutes. Then rinse out with water.

ETA - Ok, your humidifier is weird looking. Mine has 2 parts. The base and tank. So it's fairly easy to clean.

Please tell me you did not have melanomas and are still tanning. Melanoma is DEADLY. Not that skin cancer in and of itself isn't a serious wake-up call but you DO NOT FUCK WITH melanoma.

I just had a basal cell carcinoma removed. I will be wearing a full body bathing suit for lyfe.

Please stop tanning! Deadly diseases aside, you are too gorgeous to get all those wrinkles and stuff anyway.

Speaking of tanning. I never understood why it's okay to make fun of someone for being pale, but it's not okay to make fun of someone for being dark (please don't let that sound racist). I have been made fun of for being pale my whole life...people always telling me that I need a tan. Why do I NEED a tan? This is what my skin tone is! Seems like such a double standard

I guess this should have been a UO......or a random.

Yes!!! Me too!! I'm a redhead so naturally I'm pale. And when I'm out in the sun, I dont get a nice subtle tan, I burn to a crisp like a lobster and then go back to being casper. So, I figured by tanning in a tanning bed, I would get a nice, even tan and it would look good. Well, turns out the first few times I tanned, I burned like usual. As I've gotten older, if I tan in the bed, I actually do tan, and it looks good on me & it makes me feel better about myself. But, I still burn out in the sun.

I haven't had melanoma, but my cousin has. I know it's horrible and I know I should not be doing it. I really have no good reason to, there isn't a good reason to. I just feel a hell of a lot better about myself when I am tan. When I'm all pale looking, I see a big red headed fat, pale blob!

I think we've actually discussed this before...back in the day, having tanned skin was considered for the poor laborers and only the super pale were considered rich. However, somewheres along the way, people decided that those with tans clearly lived somewhere desirable like Hawaii, so tanning became popular. #historyontanningwithamjoy

Of course I LOVE my child. No "seeming" about it.

I have a related FFFC: A dude I was dating commented on my pale skin and I briefly tanned -- outside! -- afterwards (even though we stopped dating soon after that).

In my defense, I was young, insecure and dumb. These days I accept my pasty exterior.

this is american culture. i am made fun of if i get too tan. my whole life, my mom has pushed "whitening creams" for me and insisted i ingest pearl powder to whiten my skin...being that i was brought up in america..it's super conflicting. some years, i want to be tan, some years i want to be pale. as i got older, i've been choosing pale more and more because of potential skin cancer.

AlwaysForgetful · November 2014

Mine is: Today is #4's birthday. I feel like poo. #5 feels like poo and since #4 doesn't know it's her birthday, I was just going to take her out to lunch, get a desert and call it good. But not tell her it was her birthday. Tomorrow is her party and we have one gift for her (larger gift). So I am saving it for tomorrow.

SO and Auntie (remember my Auntie rants?) decided to put me on a guilt trip. Mainly because Auntie will not be here for the party tomorrow. #4 and her step great grand son share the same birthday. And normally their parties are on the same day. Well, she goes to ours (normally first) stays an hour and then goes to his. Missing none of his. Ok... Well, this time his is first. Ours is 2 hours later. So she told us that 2 parties (she is 10 years older than SO BTW) is to much for her. The truth is, she wants to go out with another aunt gambling. Like she does at least once a week. She actually missed #4's party for gambling. So I don't feel bad.

Well, #4 has an addiction to "burritos". She loves Mc Donald's breakfast burritos (#1) and she loves their chicken snack wraps. Both are super easy to make. Much easier than a standard dinner around here. LIGHT BULB! I mean, if you are having dinner for the kid, you make what they love, right? We normally do! So I am making breakfast burritos for dinner. SO and Auntie are NOT amused and are trying to back petal. Nope, not happening. Not after you tried to pull that guilt trip!

Yes, I am getting a very sick pleasure out of it.

No, @ajoyd, not melanoma. Same as what you've had removed. And thank you for the compliment.

Oh my gosh @jennlin‌ you're right! I totally forgot that my brothers ex was Thai and she said the same thing. That her family would pick on her for being too tan.

This makes me sad. We should be past this today. I get comments all the time, too, for being pasty; I rarely can find a foundation that is light enough! That being said, even though I tan well, I stay away from the sun. I'm paranoid about skin cancer and being wrinkly. I have a really expressive face so I'm assuming it will already wrinkle too soon.

I didn't read all of that post yet but I got to "not tell it's her birthday" and went WHAT?! ::sad face...::

I skipped the middle and read the end about mcdonalds which reminded me that FI and i will occasionally get breakfast burritos from mcdonalds and call it "picCUNTe" sauce. We are 5.

It is oddly satisfaction.

I have been craving eggnog since last night when I saw it at the store. I totally thought I had put it in the cart and all day I thought about having some, but for some reason or another I didn't. After we put the kids to bed I once again thought about the eggnog and finally made my way to the fridge...the temper tantrum that I threw was better than a 2 year olds, when I found out it never made it home!!!! And now I feel like my taste buds are going to die.
