So...this is the first time my fingers have swollen due to preg. Before it got too bad, I left one of my rings on and bought a fake to replace the other (they were different sizes) is it obvious that one cost less than $10?
Also, I'm sure I'll come back. I'll miss this thread
I'm also eating a gluten free cupcake right now with TONS of frosting and it is divine...especially after eating mac n cheese. I quit the scale, obviously.
@crdo I HATE when people get bent out of shape at RESPONSIBLE dog owners who are picking up after their pets! Before our beloved beagle passed away, this happened to me and my H a few times, and it always made me livid. If they wanna be mad at someone, they should redirect their anger towards the TONS of people who let their dogs crap all over the place and never pick it up! Grrrr...I feel for you SO much. Hence all the instances of all-caps. Sorry. I just get really fired up. I'm on your side!!!
I've never heard that black dogs would be hard to get adopted. I can see the black cat thing just because of superstition. That being said we had two black stray cats show up and they were so sweet and loved DS so we kept them. We also had a all black German Shepard growing up and he was the absolute best dog ever. I don't get not getting an animal just because it's black.
Sadly, as other PP's have said, black dogs DO get overlooked and shelter workers say they are often left behind in favor of lighter colored dogs. I heard someone say it's because there's not as much contrast in their faces--black fur/black nose/dark eyes don't let the facial features stand out as much as with animals who have lighter colored fur/faces. This is NOT my opinion, of course. I had two wonderful black dogs growig up--one named Brutus and one named Skip. They were fantastic family dogs. Some shelters even have special adoption days where black dogs have reduced adoption fees. I think I've even seen "adopt a black dog" month or something...anyway...yeah, sadly, it's a thing.
*Edited to add: Jeebus, sorry these are reactions to posts from like, a million years ago. I am always so late to the party. It's just...I still wanna play!

The bump sucks, July got cray, newbs suck, people feed babies Oreos, and you've been missed!
@WinniethePoohsPants im afraid I might be love titting everyone's posts. I swear I wasn't a bad kid but I could've said yes to most of the ones in Mays thread! Yikes. Haha
Omg I just figured out what love titting is! (I think- "loving" lots of posts, right?). If so, I do that a LOT. That took me waaaay too long to figure out.
I'm in for the new fb group! I was feeling so awesome yesterday when there were desktop ads and not on the app bc I use the app. I jinxed it.
I haven't caught up with the last 90 posts. But PM me with your email if you want in the Facebook group. I'll message with @fishwife799 in regards to active members.

THANK you. YES. *fist bump*
I've decided that guy and all his bass-ackwards brethren who think the same are just idiots, and will stink eye the hell out of him whenever I see his ridiculous rednecky face. This is as classy and mature as I can be about it, because fools make me ragey.
Omg I'm on "This weeks leaders" board... what the dang heck? @ahernandez16 apparently we need to get out more ;-)
Haha! I think mine is from all the love tits on our game yesterday. Apparently I'm kind of a prude. I felt much more scandalous the last time I played in high school.... Hahahah
Ok so I'm horrible and haven't been able to keep up on the randoms thread lately....sounds like a facebook page has been created for the regs, right? And did I read somewhere that people signed up for labor buddies already?

The LB were "assigned" awhile ago, but I know there were some who didn't respond in time and might still be looking. Worth a shot to ask? Maybe start a new thread? *insert evil emoji* I KID!
Complete random of the day...I'm IN LOVE with a kid's recycle group I'm on in my neighborhood. I just scored 3 adorable dresses, 1 sweater, 1 too cute for words shirt, 1 pair of pants and 2 PJs in the 12-18 month range AS WELL AS a pair of snowpants in 18 month size that is brand new for $13 total!!!

I'm not sure on who still needed one, but there is also the option of asking a set already together if you can join and make it a threesome. Then you could love tit that post on the NHIE thread
My friend who is 8 weeks ahead of me just text me that her water broke last night and she's in the hospital. I'm so excited for her!
And also now panicking because that's me in 8 weeks. I know we all say this a lot but how in the actual hell is April already half way over!?!
Ah! 8 weeks sounds so much shorter than 2 months!
My coworker gave birth at 4:58am yesterday. She was exactly 7weeks ahead of me. Delivered at 37.5wks a healthy baby girl weighing 7lbs6oz. Helpful rando coworker looked at me over the baby pictures and said:"you're next!" like I was in an M Night Shyamalan movie.....Nope. Working from home today!
Yup!! And people are all up in arms because she needs to cancel a few dates of her tour (not sure if its the whole tour). I'm sure if thats the case, she will refund ticket sales. Hopefully....

Isn't that so exhilarating?!?! I totally feel you. Great score, mama!
Re: Weekly Randoms go here...
Also, I'm sure I'll come back. I'll miss this thread
P.s. should I start a thread about it?

Nesting makes me hurt.

Also, even with the FB group, I'm sure I'll still be active over here. I'd just really like it if TB could get its shit together...
