My parents for not telling me that my mother's knee surgery today was a knee replacement surgery (ie 3 day hospital stay followed by rehab stay). If I had known it was going to be that complicated I would've driven back there (4+ hours) this past weekend. And now I'm traveling for work next week, so I won't be able to go this weekend either.

My body is the biggest TW right now. CD1 = horrible cramps and me wanting to eat everything in sight.

@julesDP Im with you on body being a TW today. Im sorry about CD1 for you!

I would like my body to decide what it is going to do and either get AF going or give me that BFP, ugh!

My BIL... Firstly I found out almost 2 weeks ago he got his girlfriend pregnant (she has a 4 month old) and they have told all of her family but are hiding it from ours (I am good friends with one of her cousins) probably because they know they really shouldn't be having more kids since they can't handle the one they do have (again not his, but he has stepped up as dad high would be admirable if he didn't quit his job 2 weeks before that kid was born, and his parents have been supporting the 3 of them since...)
Secondly, I started planning my sons first birthday party and set up a fb invite thing so I could remember to invite everyone and quickly got a text message saying that if this one girl was coming then they sure weren't. Of coarse she already said she was, her son and mine are little buddies. I'm not un-inviting. Sorry I wasn't up to date on your high school drama. I think it's pretty sad that they won't consider coming to their nephews 1st birthday because of 1 person. There's going to be 30+ people here, it's not hard to avoid someone. I didn't even make the time to respond to that text message. Grow up.

Rant over, whoa.... I think I needed to get that out.

half-caff coffee. it's just awful.

@MrsN092714 holy immature high school drama. How obnoxious. FWIW, I agree with how you're handling it - don't play into their crap.

@LuND This. What's the point?? You can add decaf to this list.

Ugh, I KNOW. I'm trying to lessen my caffeine intake without entirely giving up my morning cup of coffee. Needless to say, the experiment isn't going well.

I would like to nominate the people who spread viruses through our school AGAIN. I know it's part of the territory of working with kids, but I have felt sluggish and nauseous for days. I had several kids go home last week and it looks like I'm fighting something off for the second time in two months. Just took my temp and it's 99, which is a degree warmer than this morning's temp and pretty much a fever for me.

Basherbaby · October 2016

My TW would have to be these stupid video ads that keep popping up on TB! Anybody else having this issue?

RunRestRepeat · October 2016

@Basherbaby (and anyone else having pop up ad problems) - have you tried enabling a pop up blocker? I haven't seen any ads so far, and I'm wondering if it's because I keep a pop up blocker enabled...

lulu1180 · October 2016

@Basherbaby I was thinking the same thing earlier! Thankfully, I just found out how to get rid of them. If you click on the drop down arrow in the upper left corner of the video (has a video camera icon), it should give you an option to never show video ads. Hope it works for you!

mrsdaddario · October 2016

@MrsN092714 I hate drama in adulthood! When I was making my wedding guest list, one of my bridesmaid's refused to come to the wedding if I invited X. X used to be married to bridesmaid's H's brother, but divorced him 4 years prior. But X had been friend's with all of us for 10+ years because her ex introduced all of us. So I was forced to choose between my BFF/bridesmaid and my other friend. I chose bridesmaid/BFF but to this day I regret telling X she wasn't invited. It was really heart wrenching. I think you need to do what is best in your opinion. This party isn't about these people, but about your son and celebrating him. I would tell this person that if they don't want to come to support your son, then don't bother. Their loss.

Basherbaby · October 2016

@lulu1180 @RunRestRepeat Thanks y'all! Those darn popups were driving me nuts.

manillabar · October 2016

@lulu1180 you just saved me with that tip! I didn't even know you could do that

lulu1180 · October 2016

@manillabar I didn't either until I tried it! Those new video ads were screwing with the memory on my work computer

JulesDP · October 2016

Bless you @lulu1180! It was messing with my work computer too.

LoggiesMamma · October 2016

@MrsN092714 ugh sorry to hear the news about your BIL! I know exactly how you feel. My sister insisted on having 5 kids until she got her princess, but completely ignored the fact that they were living off welfare and disability in a 1bd apt. !!!

Sirius37 · October 2016

@lulu1180 You have saved my TB life with that tip.

My TW today in the fingerprint unlock option on my Samsung phone. Why do you randomly decide to stop working after months of a flawless relationship? WHY?!

P.S. - Exactly how does one resize gifs on here anyway? Am I totally missing something obvious?

slaven · October 2016

@Sirius37 My iphone did that and I had to reset my finger print. I have eczema and get it on my fingers a lot so it changes my finger prints a bit. Getting printed to work at a substitute teacher was a pain because it didn't come up "right" when in reality my prints are just f'd up.

My TW Tuesday is my LASIK dr's office. I'm getting lasik Friday and at my consultation last Friday I got an RX for preservative free eye drops. The RX was in Korean and I asked for it in English so I could fill it on base where RXs are free. DH chimes in that the Army pharmacist can translate it, I tried pushing that they couldn't because there's the liability that it gets translated wrong. Fast forward to 4pm Tuesday when DH tried to fill it on base and they wouldn't do it b/c it's in Korean. The eye clinic tried telling me that it was against the law (Korean law) to write an RX in English. It isn't b/c Americans see Korean docs all the time and get RXs on base. Now the reason it's kind of a big deal is that one box of these eye drops will last me 5-7 days and I need them for a few months so a few hundred dollars just for eye drops when I can get them on base for free. I told the lasik clinic that a consultation with another eye doctor is cheaper than paying for the eye drops at a Korean pharmacy, so give me the English RX or I'm going elsewhere. Since it was end of day they had to get back to me today (Wednesday in Korea). Anyway, I'm getting the English RX on Friday when I go in for my procedure and someone I know had an extra box of the eye drops to last me until I can get it filled on Tuesday when the Army pharmacy opens.

adirat · October 2016

@slavenski What a drag! Good thing you can get other eyedrops in the meantime.

I'm sad I missed the TOU violation removed overnight in the pcos thread -- I could've used some drama with my coffee this morning! Guess that makes me the TW...
