  • I'm not too happy that our plane tickets to go visit FIL for Thanksgiving are going to cost just as much as our plane tickets to go to Hawaii next summer. The only thing that's making this trip worth the money is the fact that I won't have to spend thanksgiving with MIL...
  • @flowerpower5838 and @bntfroggie big smiles for you ladies!

  • Can someone explain why lingerie maternity shots are taken? (Also is this what people are referring to when they say "no bare belly" shots?)  This isn't to be cynical, I really do want to know. Do these have the same purpose as the boudoir shots where only your SO sees them (and occasionally people on pinterest)? And what do people do with them once they are taken? If I am opening up a can of worms I apologize.

    I have a pet peeve about thread titles. I absolutely despise the titles "help" "advice needed" etc. I don't want to go into every AW thread jsut ot find out they couldn't use the search function.

    I'm just irritated I clicked on the "Help" one so it keeps showing new responses :-/


    The repeat doesn't bother me that much but I do really dislike the title thing. Title it what the post is about.

    Eww just eww to lingerie maternity shots. And generally when I say bare belly I mean even just lifting your shirt or not wearing one. I'm just really not into it. If I want to see it, I'll look at my own. Also, I feel like the women (that I've see at least) that are into the bare belly shots can't just simply lift their shirt. They have to give you side boob and bare belly right along with their ass and pubes. It just makes me nauseous. :-&

    @SadiePantsR and @flowerpower5838, great news!! :):) 

    @soxfan9968, it's carbs, protein, calcium, I mean it's a  pretty well rounded meal if you ask me!! ;)

    @spacemountianeer ditto. Though I have to admit some are pretty hilarious. I look at them thinking WTF was actually going through their heads when they decided that this would be a good idea?!?!? 

    I only have fish at home for dinner but the thought of eating it grosses me out right now. All I want is pasta and fries. Eurgh.

  • I am astounded at the amount of people asking for money via Go Fund Me or similar websites. There are obviously extenuating circumstances that I can understand it would be a great idea to start one, but many of the ones that have come across my social media feeds (including my niece's which just so happened to spark this rant) are for frivolous, money grabbing reasons that just grind my gears. Seriously niece? You need money for studying abroad? Get a JOB like I did, ask your parents (they are the ones that probably suggested the GFM) or take out a freaking loan.

    /end rant

    Ha ha my cousin set up a Go Fund Me for her second anniversary trip to a sandals resort, she was like if you were planning on getting us anything for Christmas this year, please just give us money.  It was disgusting.  She got no money and I couldn't have been prouder of society.  She also set up one for a trip to Australia for some honor society trip and got $75 to "make her dreams come true".  I'm sorry there are people you should bug for money and it isn't the folks you are friends with on Facebook.  They are also completely out of money and have been mooching off of my Uncle, but he's finally had enough.  Leeches are the worst.

    No joke, a woman I know (not well) posted a 'Go Fund Me' for her and her family...they were asking for $500,000 (or something close) to pay off the mortgage of the house they JUST bought and their student loans, so that they can travel as a family and make 'real' memories... Um ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! No, I will not buy you a home so you can go on vacation. SMH.

  • Those are some serious wtf! Gofundme pages!  We do donate to a couple, but seriously 1 is our friend (and my nutritionist who helped me with my PCOS diet) who found out she has ovarian cancer, and the other was from one of my former Head Start parents- last year her baby had to be born early due to a congenital heart defect, and the baby lived for 3 months before dying :(

    Both pages were to help with transportation funding/ hospital bills.

  • I'm so TIRED. Today has been a long day at work, and there's still food to eat, a shower to take, laundry to do, and Skype sessions to keep up with my family in Mexico. All is wanna do is nap and that's the only thing I can't do today!
  • I've only ever donated to one go fund me page and that was to help a friend financially whose 4 year old daughter had brain cancer. She unfortunately passed away later in the year but both parents were able to take a leave of absence from their jobs to spend their time with their daughter who had a limited amount of time left. Asking for money because you don't want to work and nothing is wrong is lazy I would never give my money to people like this. They would get all my eye rolls.
  • OMG- 10 minutes to go... I'm dying of heat!  It is seriously 85 degrees in my office, while its only 75 outside!

  • @skruhmin when DH and I did a Whole30 his coworkers stayed grumpy because his lunches were equally noxious.
  • I knew a military wife that (while her and her husband were very well off) set up a gfm to buy him a motorcycle. They could completely afford one on their own (and actually already had one, they just wanted a new one). She played the big "he just deserves this so much because he's a military man who serves his country" card and believe it or not, raised the money. It pissed A LOT of people off and lost some friends. There are actual military heroes that deserve these and other things and they basically ripped everyone off.
