Oh
I was totally looking for this thread earlier. I'm going to start by bitching about the fact that people can't spell in the subject line of their posts and it's driving my crazy to have to see them every damn day. Take the time to read through the post.

Yes!!

Am I getting cynical? Why does so much feel like MUD today?

kimb311 · July 2015

OMG! @nik6499 I was thinking the exact same thing! I honestly thought it was just me. I almost started a post about it!

jessica122015 · July 2015

My bitchfest is that earlier today I was sitting in a chair minding my business when I felt an itch in my bra. I proceeded to put my hand in my bra to itch under my right boob. A couple minutes later, I felt itchy again and I simple thought "this pregnancy makes me itch everywhere, so weird!" So when I put my hand in my bra again I felt something and I thought "oh duh, a crumb!" And I pulled out a BUG! It's wings were broken and it was trying to fly. I was so upset! My mom laughed at me! I killed the bug and it had yellow guts. I have never seen this type of bug before! I'm still so upset about it.
Also, I have a bump now and my belly button has popped out......... halfway. The top half of my belly button is sticking out while the other half is still chilling inside. After getting over it, I now show my family to gross them out

before I forget, here it is!! I seriously loathe clothing companies that force you into PLUS size clothing!!! I am by no means a small girl, I have always been between a 12-18. I have a big butt! Now that I'm pregnant, I was already in an 18 2 months in!!! I thought pregger clothes would be different! I mean everyone is fat then right?!!! So why is it when I go to the maternity store I feel like a heel cuz all the clothes are size 12 and below!!! They have a SMALL "plus" size section which to them is like 14 and above (I think) but they either had HUGE or SMALL...no I between why is this? The world needs to recognize there are more "plus" size then skinny people in the world now! I know in healthy and I know I'm pregnant not fat, but damn at 4 months I'm thinking I'm not gonna be able to stay in these 18s much longer, and I don't want to embarrass myself going into a store ((( any suggestions for decently priced, not so small girl, maternity clothing?

I promise that there is no need to feel embarassed by going into a plus size store. I have been considered plus size pretty much my entire life. I get complimented on my fashion pretty much daily. I'm not saying I'm offended that you said that shopping in a plus size store would embarass you, I am saying give it a chance, no one needs to know where you got it from if you're that uncomfortable saying (plus size store name) I just wish some people wouldn't be so hung up on what size they are buying and just concentrate on how freaking fab they look! On another note I know you're just bitching and I totally don't mean to take that away from you.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SHREVEPORT HAS ISSUED A HEAT

I live in Phoenix. I got into my car today after a day long training and my car thermostat said 120degrees. It took 10 minutes of me driving with full AC for it to fall to 113 degrees. This, paired with my continued MS and intense constipation makes me weep openly and frequently!

fmraglio · July 2015

@acoe85 I'm in Tempe and is it just me or is it freaking humid this past week?! I feel like no matter what I do if I'm not taking a cold shower or chewing on ice I just feel hot and sticky.

@nik6499 what does MUD mean?

acoe85 · July 2015

@fmraglio It's been miserable. Then you see those storm clouds to the east and cross your fingers for anything but humidity and dust, but NO SUCH LUCK . Bring on Hell's blow dryer!

@amw2133 MUD = Made Up Drama
I know you didn't ask me directly but I thought I'd go ahead and answer. I hope you don't mind

MrsBwIVF · July 2015

New bitch- new people on this board.
I know it seems like a veteran vs rookie mentality but most of the time, the newbies just stir drama because they haven't lurked sufficiently. And they almost always seem to just want support and a pat on the back vs getting any real opinions.
I like our group that's been here since day one, hell even since day 60. It seems that we have all learned the proper way to disagree and discuss issues without it blowing up.
Maybe it's the insomnia talking but that's how I feel. And yes, there have been some wonderful ladies who have joined recently and have been amazing by asking questions on acronyms, taking search bar advice or making sure someone wasn't being sarcastic before yelling at them for their perceived sarcasm. To you ladies, I say thank you.
Can you tell I don't do well with change?

kaitinperth · July 2015

It's Tuesday afternoon in Australia but wanted to add my little bitch - ALL paperwork, I seem to have a massive amount to catch up on & it's driving me nuts.

@Knottie15445834 of course I don't mind.

Thank you!! That makes a lot of sense and I'm going to have to agree.

@tinydove oh hell no!!!! I'd be pissed.

I was... still am, haha. I'm going to have a talk with her. I don't know what happened, things were better before I was pregnant but she's gotten really terrible lately. She just doesn't think, I guess? She'd be hurt if I dropped overbearing "hints" about her weight all the time too!

You could just ask her if she wants the treadmill. Seeing as she probably needs it more than you.

caitlyn5454 · July 2015

It's Tuesday, but "whateva, whateva, I do what I want"

I hate that I can't be out in the sun for more than five tiny little minutes before I burn. That's even with sunscreen sometimes. It's summer! I wanna do stuff! Currently have a burn between my knees from being at the beach on Saturday and it is miserable. Using all the ice packs.

My bitchfest:
What a perfect day for this. Not only was the humidity 100% when I got to work (I work outside) but I had to put together a huge shelf. I'm pretty sure parts of it weighed more than I was supposed to lift but I got it done (about 4 hours later). I still have to add the prices and find the product that goes on the rest of it that nobody had any idea where it was.
On a more sad note my 8 week old puppy has a very bloated tummy and I'm hoping she'll make it. Prayers please.

@awrtz92 prayers for your little fur baby!!

mrsduncan32 · July 2015

My bitch fest for yesterday would have been working with immature and inconsiderate people. I'm a store manager and I decided to put my notice in a month ago; giving then 6 weeks notice to find my replacement. Since then I have been demoted because I'm quitting and have been told I am not allowed to tell my customers I'm leaving and have to listen to an employee rant and rave about how bad her life is right now and have also heard her talking about me behind my back and about my other employees behind their back. She's making comments about how I talk about my pregnancy. I live in the small town I work in and have been in my store over 3 years so customers know me and know I am pregnant so if they ask how everything is going I'm not going to be rude and ignore them. Pardon my language but if this immature girl spent 5 minutes getting to know why it's so exciting for me to be pregnant maybe she would understand; 5 years of trying, multiple dr appts, surgeries etc. The only thing this tramp seems to care about is talking about her side job at the bar, picking up men, breaking up with her bf every other day, sleeping with 2 guys in 2 days and getting drunk and watching porn. OK that's my rant for yesterday.

I second @angetralala the plural things need to go away!! Everything is irritating me!

redfallon · July 2015

For some reason, I can't reply except for using the HTML code button. On any browser since yesterday. ~X(

angetralala · July 2015

@redfallon same!! Chrome had an update for Adobe compatibility, and I thought maybe that was the reason but it's not. This is bonkers. How will I enunciate with bold and italics? How will I gif??

Me too! I finally figured out I could reply by doing that but it's irritating especially when you want to comment and can't.

Ok, here's my bitch:
I'm a teacher. I teach kindergarten and bust my ass from the first week of August till the last week of June. I teach summer school through June for some extra money. I put in 10-12 hours a day and usually spend time at school on the weekends, plus I bring work home with me. It's a very demanding job.

I have July off. One blissful month. My DH asks me daily, so what are you going to do today? Why do I have to do anything at all?! I want to sit on my butt and read or watch TV. I'm on vacation! I'll do laundry, clean up, and have dinner on the table. Stop asking me what I'm going to do!!!! I'm going to relax and continue incubating our baby.

My parents and it seems like everyone else is jealous that I have time off in the summers. They also just assume that I'm sitting on my butt doing nothing so they EXPECT me to be available whenever they need ANYTHING, no matter what time, day or night! I am so sick of being treated like my time isn't valuable because I'm off right now. Everyone had a career choice...if my job is so easy then why aren't you doing it?!!!

mtr2015 · July 2015

Here's my bitch:
I feel like the new girl at a High School full of very outspoken mean girls. My first experience posting in an online forum has gone horribly! I keep being told that "no one is attacking me" but after reading over a hundred fifty comments, that's definitely not how it feels.

For four days I've been reading responses on my thread. It's become an obsession and I hate it. Ever time someone says something helpful or empathizes I feel better. For a moment. And then there's another comment about how ungrateful I am. My husband and other kind people keep telling me to let it go,that I'm a good person and these people have no idea, but I'm sensitive and now defensive and it has stolen my joy!! I can't get proper sleep. I can't get over this cold. And I'm miserable.

There's so much I want to reply to, but (as some have pointed out) every reply just escalates the situation. So I'm posting here as a last ditch effort to maintain my sanity. This is a board where we can bitch safely right?? God I hope so! And I know it's Tuesday now and not Monday but I don't know what else to do.

So one of the last questions on my thread asks me how I think my son would feel if he read it (like, it's going to haunt me now!) and if I told him I originally wished he was a girl. And I'm just supposed to let that go as though I'm contemplating it in quiet reflection when really I feel incredibly defensive of our relationship! If and when we ever laugh about that together I know he will be absolutely fine because it's silly and his father and I will give and show him love in a way that will make it so. I never thought I'd have to defend my love for my son before he was even born.

Exploring other boards here has made me realize that it's not just me. This group is not at all what I thought it'd be. It's sad because unfortunately, for me, the kind supportive people are overshadowed by bullies. I have been told to stick around- that there's a new controversial topic every week and that this is totally normal!! I'm glad that this place gives those people who find this "fun" a chance to have some, but I am certainly not one of them! This. Has. F-Ing. Sucked.

This website is a microcosm of the world. Not all people in the world will be nice to you, not all people in the world will agree with you, not all people in the world will be from your same background and culture and place where you live, not all people express themselves the same way.

Welcome to the world.

Ok, your thread is gone and done with now. You're the only one harping on about it. You do understand that this is not real life, right? None of us know you personally. We are allll strangers to you. You can put your phone/computer away at any time and walk away. And for the love, stop calling people bullies. If you hate it here so much, and it's making you that miserable, it's time to take a break. Take a few days to let it go and come back when you aren't so wrapped up in it. Now you're just dragging it out and causing more unnecessary drama around here.

adecembermom2015 · July 2015

@mtr2015 Omg if you want your thread to die then LET.IT.DIE. Don't bitch about it on other threads because those "bullies" that disagree with you aren't only limited to your single thread. If I felt bad for you before, I don't now because you are rehashing it.

mtr2015 · July 2015

Ok, so no. Not a safe place. Got it.

This can be a very safe place but it's usually frowned upon to go to another thread to bitch about your failed thread. Just change the subject, jump in and let that one go. People will forget and I promise we will find some common ground and maybe even mutual respect.

yl1m32015 · July 2015

The only safe place is your therapists office. An online forum is not. The people you just called bullies and mean are regulars around here. Once again, if you'd lurk on other threads than your own, you'd be able to get to know the board. We are not mean, we are not "bullies."

mtr2015 · July 2015

Actually I have been lurking on several other threads and have found quite the opposite to be true.

Well you picked an odd time to get involved. Lots of trolls and MUD the last couple of days. Great job lurking though, definitely recommend that. Please don't throw the "bully" word around. That's super frustrating to use that in defense of people that disagree with you. It sounds childish.

ACarter0914 · July 2015

Totally should have let it go @mtr1594 I get your feeling hurt, at lot of your post was really harsh and unnecessary but harping on it isn't the answer besides do you get along with your close friends 100% of the time? I know I don't so what makes you feel like your going to get along with a bunch of random women 100% of the time? Your not.

mtr2015 said:

Then why stick around? What's the point? No one is driving you out. Many of us have asked you to stay and get involved, yet you keep posting with resistance. I can't help but think you just want to create drama for yourself so that you can play the victim some more.
