Oh I have a good one. I'm positive this is a legit FFFC.
I don't think castor oil is the devil - as does the ENTIRE Bump, apparently.
I've read studies (from my own research and from my midwives) that negate the theory that castor oil causes your baby to poop and then they risk aspirating meconium. And, to really slam dunk this confession: I actually took it while pregnant with DS (40w4d) AND with my DD (41w3d)under my midwife's supervision (with DD).
With my DD, I wanted a VBAC and I was going to be induced at 42w and in my case, induction = repeat cesarean.
Results of castor oil with DD: no diarrhea, no meconium, and my water broke later that evening.
Results with DS (my first pregnancy): no diarrhea, no meconium and my water broke later that evening.
I can't conclusively say that castor oil brought on my water breaking/labour - but that's how it went down both times.
Soooooo...there you have it, ladies.
**say in voice over from old Batman and Robin tv show** Is this the end for CourtJack on the Bump? Will she be chased away by the overwhelming flames of her peers? Will she be banished to the land of BabyCenter and WhattoExpect? Tune in........to find out.
I had no idea this was a contentious issue
Run over to the 3rd Tri board and do a little lurking. It might be the most contentious issue I have seen here yet. I was surprised to learn this as well.
My FFFC is that I could easily change my status to lurker. I read everything y'all post and most of the time I just don't feel like I have anything worth much to contribute.

I think *the* most contentious is asking to be induced. But yes, castor oil is a close second...maybe only to vaxes.
My confession is that one day the use of "I seen..." will result in me going insane & committing some sort of crime. How do people (who have spoken English for their entire lives) think that is proper use of the language?! YOU SOUND SO STUPID! Someone on my FB just posted a long status & I couldn't read it because she wrote "I seen..." more than once & I couldn't handle it anymore.

I feel like this a lot too. I'm usually late to the thread and so many have already said what I want to say or contribute so I don't post much. Or the convo has already moved on and my commenting would be way late.

I feel you on this. But I will say, I think you have legit contributions. So I'm glad you do more than lurk, @dennyandlee !

I'm trapped in the box! Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I now have a hot Friday night date with stalking the 3rd Tri board a little harder.

Totally- I'm always reading but don't post all that often because I would have to respond to so many people, or the convo has already moved on.

Oh my goodness yes! This drives me insane! My parents pronounce stuff wrong all the time so I think me and my sister refused to have that issue growing up but my coworker bless her heart she cant pronounce nothing right. She says "ast" instead of ask(mind you she's white) She says LIBARY instead of library, that one really bugs me, she says when something is supposed to POST, she says Postes! Oh my goodness It takes all my self control not to scream out the correct pronunciation. She's nice but it just feels like laziness to me for grammar!
Okay, I've got another that is also an indictment on the US public education system. The crib we ordered is being shipped by fedex ground/freight from the west coast to the east coast. I check every morning to see where it is and had to look at a map this morning to figure out how far away Missouri actually was from Washington DC. I know that it's in the general center of the US but otherwise, not a damn clue. This kid is gonna be so screwed when they have me and H to "help" them with their states etc in school since we're both awful at anything not on a coast line/border.

Oh don't get me started on geography. My hubby still wont let me live down the whole where is Yellowstone located? Hey I'm an east coaster, give me a break I told him! Needless to say I guessed the wrong area...*face slap*

Unless it's on the east coast, the west coast or is Texas, I don't have a facking clue where any of the states are...

IMinnesota, all I've got without looking at a map is cold, near canada, and somewhere in the middle. Maybe by Wisconsin (?) and apparently the home of awesome tater tot inspired dishes.
1. DH is out of town so I made fettuccine Alfredo with chicken last night for dinner because it's delicious and because DH won't eat it on his diet. It's not dairy free but since I'm home alone that doesn't matter Also, I ate all of it between last night's dinner and my late afternoon snack today. At least it contained whole wheat noodles and broccoli.
2. I ate something called Churro nuggets for lunch.
Bahahahha!!! Yes, we're by WI, right under Canada. And yes, it *can* get cold, but the summers are actually pretty hot and humid and SD is next to MN and under ND.
@winniethepoohspants, my mom always just stuck a cotton ball in my ear to help hold the drops in and then let me run around because there was no getting me to be still.
Im still trying to think of a FFFC. I'm pretty boring. Maybe I will be able to come up with one later.

I took it too with my first at 41 weeks (after much consultation and research) to attempt to avoid induction. It worked. I haven't told anyone IRL
I passed my glucose test from Tuesday and I'm so relieved that I've been celebrating by eating all the chocolate. DD is sick so I picked her up from daycare at 12 (daycare called right after I just finished my healthy, but not filling, lunch at work). She fell asleep and I ate 2 bowls of Reese's peanut butter crunch cereal.

I never took it, but I did take evening primrose oil and drink raspberry leaf tea with my second. My labor was short (I slept through most of it and from when I woke up with painful contractions to delivery was 8 hours) and delivery was easy (20 minutes). I'll be doing both again this time.
FH (facking husband) and I are having an argument. So I am currently at Taco Bell stuffing my face. Y'all gotta pick up the pace and entertain me because I am not going home any time soon and I need you to entertain and distract me.

I just finished eating 7 prunes. Tomorrow morning we shall see who is victorious, and if this was a well thought out plan or a terrible idea.

I agree on the lurking status. Some times I read for awhile and some times I get on a kick and comment on everything. Usually I can't check and really play until later in the evening and by then all the good stuff has been said. And, as you can see from my lame attempt at UO yesterday, I come late to the game and repeat stuff.
@dennyandlee I stuffed myself with taco Bell yesterday as a reward for walking at the gym. No regrets. Husband regretted it around 5am though.....when he also realized I used up all but 6 squares of toilet paper and there were no back up rolls. And as a good husband, he didn't want to wake me up when I was finally getting some good sleep so he just jumped in the shower. Love him.
Sending the most non-creepy hugs your way...eat some taco bell for me please. I've been craving it since I got KU and can't eat it because of stupid celiac. Honestly, H bought it one time for the guys working on our bathroom remodel at our house and THAT almost started a fight. First, "Hello! I want to eat that too". Second, "We don't have a working bathroom with people working on it right now and the plumbing shut off...WHY would you buy construction workers taco bell?!?" Common sense fail all around.
