So my TP Thursday is pretty mild, but I'd like to TP my body today. I have had this twitching in my hand at the base of my thumb like that whole muscle there for the past few days off and on and today it started in my lower abdomen on the right side and has been doing it pretty much non stop all morning since about 6am. Wtf?? I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing some vitamins or something in my body that is making my muscles spasm/ twitch?? Either way I want it to stop, it's so annoying.
I'd like to TP time. It moves so fast normally (my little brother turns 27 in a few days WTF) but during TWW it ccccrreeeeeps byyyy soooo slooowlyy until I'm at the point where I'm scrutinizing the toilet paper (hehe @cheframsey) for the special snowflake unicorn implantation blood
Mine goes to IT. My computer isn't working -- it won't boot up. IT person: "Try restarting it." Me: "Yes, I have tried starting it a bunch of times and it won't boot. It's just a black screen with blinking cursor." IT person: "OK, you need to manually restart."
Look yo I went into the BIOS to change where it boots from to try to get this to work. Don't tell me if I restart it for a 15th time that's magically going to work. ETA appropriate Bob's Burgers GIF:
I'd like to TP the girl on FB who keeps oversharing details about her pregnancy (Nope. I, the girl who sat behind you in 11th grade English, definitely does not need to know that you have a subchorionic hemorrhage) and incessantly sharing sonogram pics. I'm sorry that she's having some complications. Aside from it upsetting me from a TTC perspective, I don't need a tour of her uterus every week.

@JulesDP Mine is similar. *TW pregnancy mentioned* An acquaintance, really a wife of H's friend, is about 38 weeks pregnant and they refused to reveal the sex of the baby when they found out, at the shower, and just in general. I do not care at all about the sex and thought it was fine they were waiting to announce at birth. Except they announced on Christmas in a classic-AW move. Just freakin' wait two more weeks. She also just announced that she now knows what it's like to be a parent because she managed to feed the dogs while she had a bloody nose.
@adirat WHY do IT people always tell you to restart?! Like we didn't already try that!
My TP is that HSG, that shit hurt. Maybe I'm a big baby but when I heard cramping, I was like ok I can handle that. That cramping was 10x worse than anything I've ever felt. On the plus side though, it was clear!
**TW** I feel like the girl on the Babies 0-3 months thread that posted about her MIL needs a good TP. B*tch should be happy that her MIL loves her children and wants to hug/kiss and love them. Maybe I'm just bitter since I've heard my own mother refer to her granddaughter as an 'it' and say say "why would I pick it up just because it's crying? It's mother can do that". I'm seriously considering telling that girl she should seek therapy.

@haylsbayls Whew, at least I'm not alone. The last time this happened, it was reported to be a Russian attack on a bunch of website providers behind the scenes. I hope that isn't happening again...
@adirat I stopped talking to my parents years ago (maybe 7? Idk) but I wish people would appreciate what they have. And TB server crashing makes me feel like an addict needing a fix.

@Cheframsay I'm sorry it had to come to that, but I very much applaud you doing that for your mental health and your child's. Toxic people inflict their toxicity on everyone. You are a strong woman. You can have my badass Viola Davis gif from the other thread!
My company recently started using Concur for expenses. Early last week I submitted a huge expense report...as in $6,500. In nine years, I've hardly ever made mistakes on expense reports. But now that we have this crappy system (our old was also free and now we're paying for a subscription) I attached the wrong receipt to an expense and since the whole stupid process took so long, it just got sent back to me today and even though I fixed it immediately (on vacation, mind you!) I'll probably miss this payday and won't be reimbursed for another two weeks. All over the wrong $18 receipt. And to be fair, I did make a mistake but the system is so damn clunky it's really hard to go back and check every single thing. I think it says something that I never made mistakes before and now I've had two kicked back.

@adirat I was having a lot of problems yesterday and it just crashed on me a few minutes ago.
@ChefRamsay Which thread is she commenting in? I tried looking for it and couldn't find it. Also- I totally understand your feelings on this topic. I have had to set very firm boundaries with my parents and I have gone extended periods of time without communication with them. I actually went 12 years without seeing my mom for various reasons. It makes me sad my children won't have the close loving relationships with grandparents that I got to have.
Vitamin B6 I get twitches in my thumbs if I don't take one every morning. It was super annoying until my Aunt told me to take it. It really works I hardly ever get twitches anymore
Also, glad to know I wasn't the only one having issues with TB server today.
DH proceeds to tell me today he thinks we won't get KTFU because of a nodule on his man parts. Now he did mention this to me MONTHS ago but said he would get it checked out if it didn't go away. Silly me, I assumed he had taken care of this or it had gone away. There's been a lot going on the last few months and I sort of expected him to be an adult and follow-up on this... clearly that was crazy of me. It's not in a spot that I would notice. He then tells me that Doctor Google says it's nothing serious and his doctor didn't say anything at his last physical so it's probably fine but he thinks maybe it might be impacting us getting KTFU. I am calling his doctor tomorrow.
. And then, this little yeast infection I've been battling...gyn tells me today I have a YI and a bacterial infection and that DH semen is causing pH issues for me and I can expect this every month while we are TTC so here are two prescriptions with multiple refills. Why is this a problem now? It wasn't my normal gyn so I am not sure how much I am trusting this.
ETA: For wording and TB cutting off part of my post.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that experienced TB fails yesterday. I was getting so frustrated and then I was like, hmm is this the universe telling me to do something else?
@ChefRamsay I'm so very sorry to hear that about your family, but I applaud you and others for drawing firm boundaries or break off contact. I've had/have a very difficult relationship with my mother to the point where people have told me to drop her. It took us many years to get to a civil relationship.
I'm not sure if I should read that thread. Not only do I have a difficult mother who probably wouldn't be an ideal grandmother, but my husband's mother passed away more than 15 years ago so there isn't even that option.

@ChefRamsay Thanks for sharing the link Idk why but I couldn't find it when searching the board. I think what bothers me more then the fact she doesn't want her mil to show affection to her kids is that she expects her mil to help with other tasks. It's not your mil's job to help you do things you don't feel like doing! lol I mean it's great if you are lucky enough to have parents/inlaws who want to help out but that's not their responsibility.
I read that MIL thread, and IMO, somebody holding the baby is the best help ever. To me anyway. Then I can get shit done the way I want it done without worrying about anybody else doing it 'wrong' (not the way I do it) or half-assing it. Sounds a bit like an ungrateful twat, but who am I to judge. Rubbed me the wrong way though. I would definitely be more concerned if she were in a position like @ChefRamsay described. That's pretty crappy by the way girl, sorry you had to deal with that. *awkward hand on shoulder from well-meaning stranger* I'll be on my way now.

@sarelizr awww sorry you're feeling crappy. Feel better soon!
@ChefRamsay now I want to go lurk that board...
Also, glad to know I wasn't the only one having issues with TB server today.
DH proceeds to tell me today he thinks we won't get KTFU because of a nodule on his man parts. Now he did mention this to me MONTHS ago but said he would get it checked out if it didn't go away.
