MamaMunn · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at?

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately?

ShallowSeas · January 2016

Win: I'm really good at doing make-up. I would love to make it my profession, but I know where I live I would never make much money as my full-time job.

Wine: My favorite wine is from a local winery here. Its Oliver Wine Soft Red. I love all of their wines, though, but I think Soft Red is my favorite.

Whine: Mostly myself. My emotions are all over the place. TTC is hard. One day I'm so optimistic and the next day I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I don't know how to feel.

smmatt08 · January 2016

Win: Baking!

Wine: Not much of a wine drinker, although I am starting to drink more. I generally pick it based off how creative the label is

Whine: this little cutie because she wants to go outside in the single digits every 10 minutes!

edited because no one wants to see my dog that huge on their screen!

anj27 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Nothing in particular but I am generally good with my hands and following directions, so I can knit and have other useless crafty skills like cutting shapes with an Xacto knife. I am really good at sleeping.

Any Malbec.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? Flaky friends. My bosses for making me doubt the survival of this company and consider looking for a new job.

Lecool · January 2016

WIN: I love my job, and I'm really good at it.

WINE: I'm not picky! Anything white.

WHINE: Myself/DH. This week was really tough for TTC. DH works a lot of overtime, and works graveyard shifts. I work two jobs. This was my FW and we tried to HIO but our schedules just don't let that happen. Yesterday was O day, and I even planned on going in late to work so that we could BD. Unfortunately the only opportunity to do that was when DH got home from work at 5 in the morning. After a 12 hour day, he was exhausted and wasn't in the mood. I got upset and started crying because I was missing O day, after missing -1 as well. It was a mess. I'm hoping next month our schedules and FW align better.

@severmilli12 I wish I was good at makeup. I want to learn how to do more. My makeup has been the same daily basics since I was a teenager.

PeggyOlsonFTW · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Remembering things.I can remember high school acquaintances birthdays (even though I haven't seen them in 15 years) and where DH misplaces everything. (Which is great for him, but frustrating for me)

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

Pinot Noir. I've never met one I didn't like.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? I'm with @severmilli12 on this one. I'm getting on my own nerves. TTCAL is so damn hard. I just want to feel normal again and not feel uncomfortable around pregnant friends. I feel like an ass because I'm so excited for them, but I can't show it.

sarah0985 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at?
Baking and cooking. Especially into desserts that require technique. Just don't ask me to decorate it.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down.
I'm not a big wine drinker. Like at all!
I'll usually order a white and used to love Riesling but can't do the sweet anymore. Over the summer I discovered malbecs and really liked that.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately?
Everyone! Patience is pretty short lately. I don't snap (as in Temper) but I just don't want to be around many people.

@anj27 love that your good at sleeping! Haha. I used to be good at sleeping. Seems the older I get I just can't sleep in as late or sleep as long in general as I used to....

MrsDannyOutlaw · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at?

Pssshhh...as if I could pick just one thing. I'm great at everything!

In all seriousness though, I'm good with people. Communicating, understanding, working through difficult situations to provide an outcome that satisfies all parties.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

I'm not a big wine drinker. Beer is my go to, but a group of us ladies in the neighborhood do Wine Wednesday each week. They have turned me onto Moscatos and sweet reds. Which is odd because I have never been one to enjoy anything sweet. Be it food or drink.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately?

Does it have to be a person? How about a situation? DH has to go on a business trip and that interferes with TTC. Thankfully, his boss is being flexible with him because he and his wife are also TTC. He gets it. However, I also have jury duty soon. So trying to plan his trip around O and him being able to work from home to watch DS after school while I am stuck in a courthouse for a week is a pain the rear!

Edited to add, @severmilli12 I can relate to your whine 100%! I'm going BSC over here! I told DH the bonus of jury duty coming up is that it will keep my mind occupied during TWW. Not to mention, I'm sure they would frown upon me peeing on 500 sticks in the courthouse bathroom!

bornmommy · January 2016

Win: I'm awesome at my job.

Wine: Concannon Petite Syrah and Cupcake Red Velvet are my two favs.

Whine: A professional group I am in that isn't Doug a very good job of respecting everyone involved.

_darth · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at?

Math and programming. I have a new assignment at work, and have been kicking ass, so it has renewed my confidence.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

A good Chianti Classico. My favourite is still Australian Shiraz, but I have to be in the mood for it. When I don't know what I want, a Chianti is always a good choice.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately?

I've actually been mostly okay this week. Nobody is driving me off the walls.

bornmommy · January 2016

@anj27 I wish I was good at sleeping! I think I'm developing insomnia...-again... Uughhhh

Sparty18 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? I hate to admit it, but I'm really good at finding information about people and reading people. So, I am currently using this skill to look up and evaluate guys for my friend that is dating on Match. I maintain a spreadsheet for her with my ratings based on information I find and alert her of any red flags. I don't give her the specific information I find so that she can form her own opinions and have normal dates without already knowing everything about them. I enjoy it way too much. Yes, DH knows I am doing this haha.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down. Our go to bottle is usually Arcturos Cabernet Franc. We are biased towards wines from Traverse City, so we support the Michigan wines.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? A coworker that always has to one-up everyone's stories.

Tippy05 · January 2016

@severmilli12 - I love that you're good at makeup. I also have had the same basic look since highschool and can't wear lipstick to save my life.

@sarah0985 - I also can't sleep in. My kids usually keep that from happening, but even on those rare occasions when I'm alone I can't seem to sleep past 6:30 or 7:00 (then I feel guilty for doing it).

Win: What's something you're really good at? Not really anything. I'd like to consider myself really good at listening to other people a

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

I like white wine. If I'm drinking it with dinner then a good pino grigo, but if I'm drinking socially or without a meal then Reisling or Moscato. Anything sweet.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? One of my girlfriends. I love her dearly and she's such a great person, but sometimes she can be a little too intense. She's constantly calling me trying to offer her teenage daughters as babysitters (which I totally appreciate, but we don't go out much, so when it happens you'll be the first to know) and lately has been calling me to bitch about her new gym and the staff and a little bit of everything and nothing. Just. Stop. Talking.

sldp123 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Meh, nothing really extraordinary. I'm good with math and numbers and budgeting, even if I don't stick to it. And bargain shopping. And @anj27 I'm good at falling asleep, but not sleeping in general I guess, because now that I'm older I can never sleep in, but I can fall asleep within seconds of hitting the pillow, haha.

Wine: What's your go to wine? I'm a weirdo who doesn't like wine.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? Anyone else on the road during rush hour.

housewifehobbyist · January 2016

Win: Like @anj27 I'm really good at sleeping. As I get older and have less time I really do consider it a life skill. Also organizing and event planning.

Wine: A nice dry rose

Whine: My marketing director, who comes in maybe 2 weeks a month total and recently told our boss that "the commute is just really long and she can't promise normal office hours" when he told her she needs to be in M-F 9-5. Girl you were hired three months ago with the same living situation, schedule, and commute and offered a six figure salary. FIGURE IT OUT!

picklesplease · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Going back to the GTKY question, I'm really good at organizing and seeing the big picture, which definitely comes in handy for my job. I love teaching and love being organized for it. It keeps me on my toes. I'm also using my organization skills to help some of my students graduate early, which is technically on time. My English as a Second Language students are always a little bit behind their classmates, so getting them out of here in 4 years is considered "early."

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

Rex Goliath Cabernet. It is just delightful and helps me slow down to appreciate the good things in life.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? I'm echoing a few people's response. I'm getting on my own nerves. My health issues are not going away. I have a feeling this is causing my body to go into "crisis mode," which means that my cycle is all over the place. Just get your sh*t together, body!

skiingstark · January 2016

Win: I am good as skiing, I love it. I use to be a ski racier, ski coach and ski instructor. It is soo much fun to ski down a mountain with fresh powder, it is like a drug.

Wine: 7 Deadly Zins, such a yummy wine at a moderate price.

Whine: If I have to do spend one more day doing a test, I am going to scream.... Ohh wait I have 5 more days of this. I have to do Content test for SS, then a reading/writing in history test (because we only teach history now to help English out) and then the District SS test. All of theses test take 3 days.... When teachers complain that the students are being tested a crazy amount, we are not lying.....

bornmommy · January 2016

@housewifehobbyist lol!!! It's so strange to think of sleep as a life skill but you are right!!! It's pretty much up there in the "basic requirements for success!" Hahaha

bornmommy · January 2016

@skiingstark you're not lying. Testing got in way of legal hours I needed to provide services for my kids which got in the way of their LRE... Our system is such a mess!

sugarpixxie2 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at?

I'm good at life I guess. I am a property manager and I am amazed every day of all the people who live at my properties that can't figure out their life. It makes me wonder how they got this far without my help. Examples..... what is a money order? Why can't I move in with no income? my shower rod fell down, can you come put it up?, my radio has a high pitched sound... can you provide a device to block the high frequency signals? Can you scan these 500 documents into your email and then email them to me? Can I have a service animal for my service animal because my dog has anxiety? *sigh*

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

I go for red wines. Wine in a box, wine in a bottle, whatever. Malbec and mixed reds are good. nothing really sweet though.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately?

not too much lately (although it sounds like I'm annoyed at my job I really love my job). I am annoyed that I somehow knock my bbt off my nightstand every morning. Then I can't find it in my sleepy state and dark room. This morning after looking on the floor and under the bed I finally had to turn on the light and get out of bed to find it.

anj27 · January 2016

@sarah0985 @bornmommy @sldp123 Hahah, who knew so many people would be envious of my sleeping skills? I'm almost 34 and my skills haven't really diminished. I take after my mom, who has taken an afternoon nap as long as I can remember and to this day. I wish it were a skill I could teach or share with you all.

@Sparty18 A spreadsheet! Like of all the guys she's dated or does each guy have their own spreadsheet?

m6agua · January 2016

Win: I will echo people and say my job. I am a Graphic Designer and do some photography/design on the side too.

Wine: Pink Moscato

Whine: Honestly no one. It's weird since my MC I have been hyper aware of everything, people, what they say, how they say things, and more. This oddly has mad me more relaxed and sensitive to others personalities so I don't get frustrated as easily.

sugarpixxie2 · January 2016

@sparty18 that spreadsheet actually sounds like fun !

MamaMunn · January 2016

Win: Another cooker/baker over here! Seriously I love cooking. For me it's a stress reliever!

Wine: Cupcake moscato is my favorite

Whine: The inlaws are always on my nerves! Sometimes I feel bad that they annoy me so much, because I think they mean well but ugh. I'm actually kind of nervous for the day we have a baby because I think they are going to be smothering.

Sparty18 · January 2016

@sugarpixxie2 It is!

@anj27 Haha, yes each spreadsheet will be for a batch of guys (typically 10-15) that she is currently talking to or that she has found in a search and wants to message. I then rate each guy on different criteria (e.g. looks, overall profile, etc...) and then list pros and cons. Then for each batch, I'll rank them based on my findings (including things I find from searching them, but I don't disclose these specifics). She then updates the spreadsheet from time to time with the current status of their conversations and will track any dates they go on, etc... Apparently she is getting ready to send me a new batch of 30+ guys, eek, that will take some time lol. The most time consuming part is figuring out their names based on the limited info typically included in their profiles, but it's like solving several small mysteries!

MrsDho11 · January 2016

Win: I didn't start doing it or learn how until college because neither of my parents particularly enjoyed it, but I'm really good at cooking! Baking too... but I don't really enjoy baking.

Wine: Pinot Noir or Riesling depending on if I want red or white.

Whine: No one specific, but I've been pretty crabby about people in general... lots of pet peeve triggering!

AndiPandi127 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Planning ahead.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? People who use the "report" button as a dislike button. Before you tattle, ask yourself...can you not handle this on your own? Do you have to tell the teacher?

mrsdee15 · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? I can binge watch Netflix and drink wine like a boss.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

Any of the red wines by Cupcake or Coppola. My personal favorite is Malbec. ETA: DH once told me my patronus would be Malbec. I agree with him.

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? People who drive like jerks. Does it really make that much more difference in time if you cut me off rather than wait for all the space after me?

whiska · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Trivia. No one will play Trivial Pursuit with me anymore and my buddy for bar trivia moved. Sad trombone.

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

I had a sweet rosé in France that I actually liked, and I like champagne. The bubbles help. There's not much alcohol that I like to drink but I love to cook with wine!!

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? The vending machines on this campus. They're trying to be healthy so they replaced all the Three Musketeers and Pop-Tarts with like, Chex Mix and Nutrigrain bars - every single vending machine. These are only *marginally* more healthy than what was in there before, which I find to be an insult on everyone's intelligence. Just offer a mix! I want some Raisinets sooooo bad right now!

PeggyOlsonFTW · January 2016

ha! @mrsdee15 Your win made me laugh out loud

momstahp · January 2016

Win: What's something you're really good at? Crocheting, I'm pretty good at that, especially since I basically taught myself with youtube videos

Wine: What's your go to wine? Dark Horse's red blend. Always the best!

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? whoever is responsible for getting @PocketFullofShells banned. She is amazing and it makes me so sad that someone who has been such an amazing part of this community is gone over something stupid.

therealvday · January 2016

Win: styling outfits

Wine: King Estate Pinot Noir

Whine: My coworker who plays dumb to get out of doing work. And she is two-faced yet everyone loves her. So annoying.

They know who they are and I hope they are quite proud of themselves. And no, not cool at all. Definitely influences me to keep my participation more limited.

BabyWi · January 2016

Win: I am very good at being sick today, apparently. Ugh.

Wine: Sauvignon blanc, specifically Barefoot brand. I'm not fancy.

Whine: For starters, this cold! And also my adorable fur baby because all she wants to do is play and all I want to do is relax. Can't blame her though.

virginiaham · January 2016

Win: Seeing and working toward the big picture.

Wine: I'm not a huge wine girl, but a friend introduced me to the 14 Hands Cab and I've been a believer ever since.

Whine: Nobody in particular, probably me for not paying closer attention, but I know who like 10 people are on here these days. Did everyone have a SN swap party and I just missed the memo?

Agreed. Just because you don't agree with something someone has said, doesn't mean you should report them. Reporting is for serious TOU violations only.

Moment of silence for @PocketFullofShells

Win: What's something you're really good at? Solving problems

Wine: What's your go to wine? The kind that always satisfies and never lets you down

Anything sweet

Whine: Who's getting on your nerves lately? My dog. She has some foot allergy or something and she has been keeping me up at night because she is chewing on it. I bought some wipes from Amazon and really hope they help her.
