Switching health insurance blows, why must it be in a different language? Every other word was a mystery to me and I'm in the health field. So now its dhs turn to talk to them. He's an insurance man, maybe he speaks the lingo.
There is this wack job in my breast feeding message board calling me ignorant because I don't believe food cures all diseases. This woman claims she cured her son's autoimmune disease. Lady, that's not how autoimmune diseases WORK. They can go dormant but they are never cured. Why? Because science.
She's going on about Western Medicine for profit blah blah. How it's evil & I just wish I could shake the dumb broad until her teeth rattle.
Nothing makes me more ragey than someone taking a big dump on hundreds of years of progress.
Why the heck is there a video ad playing on TB. Doesn't it know that I'm trying to discreetly bump at work? Also, the music is annoying. Why didn't I just turn off the volume......<---just did now, duh

@cattlebride now all I can think of is how I DH and I definitely need to get our stuff together when it comes to combining 401ks from old employers. Two things I can never wrap my head around: retirement funds and health insurance.

And I'm going to stay away from there. Because DHs autoimmune is controlled by western medicine and ignorant people like her who probably don't vaccinate are the reason my DH can die from exposure to your unvaccinated children.

When I do finally make it to a BMB, I'm sure I'll get banned after the very first 'vaccination' post.

My random thought: I can not wait to take my students to an amusement park tomorrow! I have two classes this year that are just awesome, we are going to have a blast! I'll be so sad when they move on next year
Not so happy= my chart is evil and FF is predicting AF. That usually means upset stomach. Not so much fun while chaperoning at said amusement park.

I honestly think once I get KU I am just going to lurk here. I don't think I have it in me to go to the BMBs. Maybe after the first trimester, but probably not during.
Also...shitty things people said to me last night:
1. "Oh I did fertility treatments 10 years ago and really in south Louisiana you are kind of just wasting your money. You should really wait until the fall. Your body temperature will go up and you will miscarry anyway."
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUQ? No seriously, I was stunned into silence.
2. "Well, we will be secretly praying you don't get pregnant so you can come to the tennis state tournament. Oh no, just kidding hehe."
NOT FUNNY.
Back story: I told the captain what was going on because I had to bow out of state and didn't want to seem like a flake and another woman on our team heard.
The BMB are kinda ridiculous. Every other post is asking if the symptoms are normal. Read a book. Seriously. Lurk other posts. You would think that getting pregnant all that happens is you get a belly, have a baby shower and a baby pops out!

Someone asked on 2nd Tri the other day what could be causing her dizziness. I almost said "Pregnancy" but I didn't want to get a warning.

After lurking and participating on this board, I was prompted to write one of my best friends an apology email re: asking about having kids all the time. I was blind and naive to this that this is a easy thing to do. I makes me sick to think that I was so insensitive to the possible struggle they may have been having.
I think most people are until they go through it. I never thought I was being insensitive, but I definitely asked quite a few friends if they were planning on having kids. Now I realize how uncomfortable that question can truly be. That's why I try to give people a break when they say insensitive things. It's almost never their intentions to be insensitive.
I am not your bitch. I don't work FOR you! I am a contractor! If I choose to work with you I will. You don't pay me! Now stop stalking me and get a job on your own! You have a bad resume and made poor choices!
Rant over! Thank god someone started this thread, I've been holding it in all day!
Random...or not so random, since we were talking about vaccines. Apparently my MMR vaccine wore off at some point in the last 30 years. My RE had me test for rubella before my IUI and my labs came back as "not immune." Easy fix, but seriously.
One of my students kept singing "do you want to see my Rich.ard" in class today as if I wouldn't get his implication. Can it be mid-June yet? I really need to move onto next year's crop of kiddos.
Today in class I took a swab of my phone to grow a culture that I'll be looking at on Tuesday. That will probably be kind of embarrassing!
I was looking around on my health insurance website and it had some sort of survey to fill out where I could say I was planning a family and receive a consultation. A nurse called me yesterday about it, asking about my health and if I know about doing this or that. She was very impressed that I already am taking prenatal vitamins, know when I ovulate, etc.

MH has friends coming over tonight. I like said friends, but I really just wanted to put my PJs on when I got home. Plus they are guys he works with and fart jokes and other stupid non-humor tends to occur with some frequency.
seriously? so do we open a new TWW for the ladies that haven't gotten a chance to post? also, I hope this means the postpartum thread is pinned since these things can clearly be done quickly!

Why does one bad apple spoil the bunch? Couldn't she just be banned and thats it?
My random: I can't believe my boss's last day is tomorrow and nobody's bothered to tell me who I'll be reporting to in the meantime. Naturally, I've come to this conclusion:
My randoms: I need more time on TB because I'm getting so far behind. I can't believe we went from a stage 5 drought disaster to evacuating homes due to flooding. I don't want to go to work tonight, but I'll probably have some time to catch up on threads. How can I teach my son to stop farting on me? That about sums up things that happen in this brain.
