It's been kind of a shitty week so far on the boards. More drama than usual.
You know, I had been wondering if it was always this batshit crazy around here... Guess I picked a good week to join the convo, huh? O/T, but where can I find this fabled glossary with all of the acronyms and abbreviations? I've figured out most by not being an idiot, but a couple are stumping me...

Seriously, the person who made this thread had to of known this wasn't going to go well.... why?

brianna91chavez · June 2015

This "everyone needs to be nice to everyone" and "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and "support everyone!!!" BS is sooo funny to me. How do y'all function in the real world? Where do you live?

Lol. If I've got to share someone's head it may as well be someone who's got a good one on her shoulders.

BTW - Anyone else notice that once those who were criticizing everyone (the OP and those agreeing with her) left the discussion it turned into bonding over our mutual love of tacos and helping newbies? I really do enjoy this board and the women on here. It may be the extra oxytocin I've got lately, but you guys are great.

So I know a meet up is impossible, but I feel like we should have a "date night" where we all cook/pick up Mexican food and bump about it.

Yummmmm.

We all have to come to the conclusion that a lot of people don't care about others these days. Its a free world and you can post whatever you want on whatever day you want as many times as you like, do what makes YOU happy.Most people who talk mess don't have a picture. I don't either, but you will never catch me talking bad about anyone, you never know what someone is going through personally. Some of you will never talk like that in person anyway.

Also one thought here...

"We all have come to the conclusion" infers everyone on this board. According to some recent polling, you mean to tell me that 2/3 of the voting members who don't agree with what essentially amounts to the argument you're making here have somehow arrived at the same conclusion about themselves that you have??? Quite the paradox. More accurately, I think you have slightly misrepresented the facts (by about 70%) and what you mean to say is "I have come to the conclusion..."

Please... don't speak on my behalf. I have not arrived at the same conclusion that you have. My conclusion is that there are a lot of great, supportive women on this board. Sadly, this board has been plagued as of late by narcissistic threads that don't contribute to the genuine dialogue many of us are trying to have. We have asked repeatedly that these drive by posters use a shared thread to discuss shared topics. There are plenty of social outlets for "hey look at me" posts. I recommend Facebook or Twitter for starters. These type of AW posters worry me as they are a sad reflection on the state of our society. So many have become egocentric and feel rules and common courtesies don't apply to them. TB posts guidelines for a reason and these reasons are being ignored by the non-contributors who come here seeking a spotlight which we don't care to cast on any one women when we are a community seeking support through shared experiences. I can appreciate the excitement, but not the narcissistic expression of that excitement. Just as society needs rules to funciton, so do forums such as these. Please review them here and respect the community.

All this taco talk is making my heartburn worse

Thanks for the glossary link, I can never find the useful stuff using the app... One more question though; what's UO? Unless I'm being spectacularly stupid (it's possible) it's not in the glossary.

Unpopular opinion. : )

Ugh, feeling stupid now. Should have figured that one out. Thanks!

lexismith91 · June 2015

I accidentally posted twice.

jscasher · June 2015

Guys I ate salad for lunch and baby did NOT like it. I eat too much grease, I feel sick. I eat healthy, I feel sick. I didn't have this problem in 1st tri, it's not fair!

rmbuchholz · June 2015

I just wanted to say that I totally agree with what other posters said about loving @VexyMommy !!! She's both honest and incredibly supportive in her comments. #vexymommyforpresident

Google chat room!
We actually did that in the Jan12 group once the babies were born. That was fun!

kmkrushi · June 2015

I got taco bell for lunch and was disappointed by my choices. I should have gone inside so I'd have more time to look for what I wanted.

lexismith91 · June 2015

I guess I was just taught that if u don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything and if your not interested keep it moving...I'm done.

Girl! Everyone is over your drama. We have moved on to totes more important things...like tacos!

VexyMommy · June 2015

Umm. . . I have a question and don't want to be an AW and start a thread on this, but is my profile pic and some week's leaders thing on the sidebar of anyone else's page? I'm hoping this is just showing on mine and isn't a TB wide thing.

lakesideknitter · June 2015

@VexyMommy - not showing for me, but I'm on the mobile version. That being said, I don't think anyone would argue against the fact that you are this week's leader.

Lsager424 · June 2015

@vexymommy - it's showing on mine as well! I guess you are being recognized for your rock-starness! Way to go!

You are a leader this week I saw it too!

VexyMommy · June 2015

:S BF's ex who had a child April 1st (with her 2nd husband not bf, no Jerry Springer stuff here) is on this site too. I always feel weird when our social worlds even possibly intersect.

Favoritemandms · June 2015

@VexyMommy, looking beautiful on my leader's list as well! Maybe time for a generic pic?

Meh. It's weird and uncomfortable, but I haven't talked crap about her, provided identifiable information about her child, or said anything about bf that she could use in potential custody proceedings against him so I'll probably just deal.

Edit: I was hoping it was just a weird thing on my page.

Favoritemandms · June 2015

Nope, you're famous! But luckily you're smart enough not to post stupid crap that it shouldn't be a problem.

thefithuntress · June 2015

All hail Queen @VexyMommy.

People out in the community have jobs too. That's how we function in the 'real world'. We don't sit home and post police all day.

I'm reading this as my spouse watches another rerun of Seinfeld but you gals gotta cool your jets. Some serious mean girls comments. Also, there are a fair number of people who seem to post their opinion on almost every thread. How's this possible? I'm sorry if I ask a "stupid" or redundant question but frankly don't have the time to comb through every thread! I work in pediatrics so maybe my tolerance for dumb questions is a little higher than others! Be. Nice. To others.
