My twatwaffle = lady who is always at our neighborhood park with her dog not on a leash. There are two signs (yes, I counted today) that say "DOGS MUST BE ON LEASH." Can you not read? Or do you think you're just better than everyone else?
I take DD to this park at least twice a week. I take my dog too. On a leash. Like the good member of society that I am. My dog, and I know he's not alone, gets a little freaked out when other dogs are not on a leash and he is. This lady is always like, "It's ok, my dog is friendly!! *gives a little wave*" Biotch, my dog might eat your dog.
My TW: people who are always complaining about taxes that THEY WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM. Not all taxes are evil.

@purplestars ew nooo I hate people that do that. My coworker has a sweet dog but she gets very nervous around others sometimes when they are roaming off leash... she's told me how stressful that is for her and I can only imagine how stressful that is for you with your DD and dog. Not cool. Not ok.
Can I call my husband a TW? We're keeping our goddaughter tonight for a couple hours and he was supposed to be going to the gym after work UNTIL he heard she was coming over. Now he's rushing right home. She will have nothing to do with me when he is around and he knows this. She thinks he is the greatest thing and basically looks at me like, "Girl, please." She's 7 months old, btw.
I WANT THE BABY TO LIKE ME! :P

@keiraanne i have done it before, today actually. and some people just came out swinging with swears in their own text today. so it think it is all kewl.
The dogs on the leash has me loling all over again! I'm reading The Magnolia Story (which is amazing BTW) and just read where Chip always let his dogs run loose and accumulated a bunch of tickets which he never paid. Apparently the tickets were all in Joanna's name and the week they brought their son home from the hospital the cops come knocking on their door with an arrest warrant for Joanna. I just can't help from laughing at what her face must have looked like. I would have died and then come back and haunted my husband for the rest of his life if that were me.
@purplestars omg nothing gets me quite worked up as people like this! Irresponsible dog owners drive me CRAZY. I feel like all I can do is love my baby doggies and take care of them to the best of my ability, but when your ignorance interferes with the safety of my dogs - fire. Some examples are: no leash, not picking up messes, and letting dogs jump or get into other people's space unwelcomed.
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but the only times I'm hearing from girlfriends (by text or phone or whatever) is if they need or want something. One friend, for example... I hadn't heard from her in like two or three weeks after she bailed on plans, so I was pumped to see her name ping on my phone yesterday. There was no "Hi! How are you? Hope you're good!" It was just "Hey... do you have a recommendation of where I can go to get my hair done?" Or they message me with their crises or first world problems, but lately none of my girlfriends think to ask how I'm doing or if I'm okay. No wonder I feel zero desire to share our news...

So much this!!! That is exactly why ive cut everybody out of my life the moment i got serious with bf (now H). I had realized that ai didnt know before him what it was like to have someone really care for me. Not to brag, but im the giving, generous type, and everybody around me was taking advantage of that. Theyd call id answer and be there WHATEVER they needed. But the minute I needed just as much as an eae or a shoulder... There was no one around anymore.... They d resurface when in need a few days/weeks later.
My middle aged divorced aunty dropped by last night to visit. I have not seen her in 4 months. I asked her if she knew that I was pregnant because I announced it on the family chat and didn't see a message from her. She goes "Oh yeah! I saw that!" No congratulations or anything and proceeds to tell me about her fuck buddy and how she is now dating his best friend. She is super classy.
I found that a few of my friends who are still single sort of withdrew from me the same way when things got serious with now DH and we got engaged. I tried to initiate things, but was unsuccessful. It still makes me sad sometimes, but it did make me realize that I had a few really great friends who have never changed the strength of our friendship as our lives change. Looking back it was a blessing in disguise. I still.care for those who I am no longer close to, but those friendships probably wouldn't have lasted as close friendships anyway.
@JessDG The same thing has happened to me with a good friend. We had some dramaz this past summer, but we were rebuilding our relationship when I got my BFP. Communication has been almost nonexistent since then, no matter how much I try, so I've stopped. It is sad, but such is life.
@VLillyV oh my god. How awful. I'm so so so sorry. That's so traumatic for anyone to go through. Hang in there. I hope this dog gets caught. Try to take care of yourself right now and relax (easier said than done, I'm sure). I'm angry and upset for you.
I'm angry and upset, too, especially at that dog's owner. That's the real TW here. I'm sorry, but if you have a dog you know may become violent it is your responsibly to know the location of that dog at ALL times and take any measures possible to ensure it doesn't escape.

If it's a pet, of course, and not a stray.
Im so sorry! (its crazy we were just earlier talking about stupid owners not having their dogs on a leash...) Edited because pregnancy brain made me tag the wrong person. @VLillyV
My clinic doesn't start until 9 today but I am meeting with my resident at 8. Which means I got here an hour earlier than I needed to and he pages me at 745 asking if it's alright to push it back because he scheduled a meeting with someone else at 8. No resident, just no. I'm here and had to leave an upset child at daycare because I was rushing to get here instead of spending an extra few minutes distracting my little one so I didn't leave while he's crying
