There was a certain poster that I really wanted to flame the other day. But I noticed she posted her thread as a question, and I wanted the First Answered award so I was really nice in my response. But apparently not nice enough because I didn't get the badge. And after she posted on 6 more threads without reading or using our helpful tips, I really regretted not using my awesome flaming gifs.
@mrsmarygs hahaha I know exactly what you're talking about. Do the posters who post the question get to choose which answer they like? Idk how that works... I got my first answer badge with that weird guy who asked about blood thinner injections and his wife bleeding. I just answered to get the badge too.....
@wyomama0427 Yeah I remember when you got the badge. I was like, I want one too! I think they'd have to click something to say that their question was answered.

Once upon a time I was new to the birth month boards, and of all the apps in the land I first chose an app called Baby Center. I did not know that this app was truly an evil place filled with evil people. I posted on a thread that was an unpopular opinion thread inside of a birth month group. I posted how my UO was people who do not have BFP posting in BMB about fertility and how they should go to the TTC boards. I got flamed so hard SOOOO HARD. I was so embarrassed by these evil witches, that I committed a horrific crime in the BMB world....I....I...I dirty deleted. I then vowed to never join a BMB group again. But then I found a magical place called The Bump, where all the fair ladies made me feel welcome and warm and fuzzy, so I set up shop here where I've made the best of friends.
@wyomama0427 I'm in a good mood today. Like no one is in the office, and I had coffee this morning, and I felt like I should finally come clean of my horrific crime.
Gather the shame nuns: I was so tired this morning that I drank a fully caffeinated coffee.
I do this every day. I mean, I don't drink a whole pot or anything. But it's always full caffeine. Sorry third kid. Mama needs caffeine thanks to your sisters.
So here's what really happens, and this can be my FFFC:
I need time to fully wake up in the morning. So I throw some food at my kids (oatmeal bar or toast. Nothing I actually have to cook) and slap on some mickey mouse club house (crack for my 2 year old) and then drink my fully caffeinated coffee in peace while scrolling through Facebook and the bump.
After im finished, only then can we really begin our day.

Other than a few slices of homemade banana bread and a naked juice, I did not eat anything yesterday that wasn't processed within an inch of its official status as "food." I also had lucky charms for dinner.
Also, every time I run errands, I buy something for the baby. Yesterday it was an Old Navy layette set that was on sale, but it's usually a baby book. I know people say wait and see what you get from showers, gifts, hand-me-downs, etc., but as a children's writer, I can't leave my son's library to chance! So baby already has 30 books, and he's only the size of an orange.
If another coworker or supervisor at my job calls me preggers or preggie or prego instead of calling me by my actual name, I am going to freak out. *Snip*
Stuck in quote box**
I HATE all those words, I curl my lip when someone says it to me.
@mrs_tacos DS has probably over 200 books. I can't stop buying them. And I feel like this baby will need his/her own books so really we need to buy more shelving. DH thinks I'm nuts but I want to raise readers!

These types of words make me ragey. My cousin said "preglified" the other day, not even referring to me, and I almost lost my cool. 1: pregnant women still have names! 2: also, the word pregnant is not that long or complicated. I blame the Kardashians for starting the " cray cray" phase that makes everyone think they have to shorten everything. Gr. (Don't even get me started on cray and similar words. The whole word crazy is only one letter longer. How lazy do you have to be to not be able to say that one extra word?!)
Here's my fffc because I can't remember the really good one I thought of yesterday. I'm very generous with my love tits, but only if I like you. If I don't know you or you don't post much, I probably won't give you a love tit. *shrugs*
I stole someone's panty liner at work Wednesday. Don't even know who it belonged to... but the discharge is real and I forgot to grab one that morning.
@dpandmb He said he would rather we drink safe amounts of real coffee instead of the processed decaf. He really pushes eating and drinking whole/real foods while pregnant. He basically said, stay within the safe limits and you'll be fine.
@DPandMB I've heard the same thing that @Becky012016 's OB told her. Apparently the chemicals that put in coffee to cause it not to be caffeinated are more harmful than actual caffeine. But I haven't looked into the science behind it.

@DPandMB@Becky012016 I read somewhere that most decaf goes through a chemical process which may or may not leave some remnants that get ingested. Coffee that's decaffeinated with the Swiss water process is supposed to be totally safe but it's harder to find. May have something to do with it?

@mrs_tacos ooh what books have you bought? I need more ideas for DS and this LO's library.
When DS was little we bought a bunch of really simple picture books. He really liked "Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you see." it has one splash of colour on a white page so it's easy to see when they're little.
He also liked books with a sing-songy rhythm like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Hand Hand Fingers Thumb.
Once he started "getting" the stories, we built up a big collection of Pete the Cat books. He also likes Clifford and the classic fairy tales. The Sandra Boynton books are really good too.
@Becky012016 , @mrsmarygs and @MyNamesTaken thanks for the info. I actually hadn't ever heard that, but I am glad you shared. I have been craving coffee and was going to get some decaf. Now I will re-think that. Thanks again. You ladies are always so helpful
What is this Duke's mayo you speak of? Fried chicken sounds good. Maybe I'll convince DH we should make some. We just watched a Gordon ramsay recipe video where he made some.

I WANT my 2 year old to watch TV. I try so hard. He will not. His attention span is the width of a fingernail clipping. WHHHYYYYYYY won't he watch TV?
Also, I drink a cup of coffee every morning, and then I have some more caffeine during the day. I didn't do this with my first.
I live in "Lower Alabama" (aka Florida panhandle)
