I may just be me, but when TB gods close down a thread I always think in my head, "HA, eat it beotch!" But that's primarily because I'm being a vindictive child and have no patience with today for some reason.

@lurvleybunchococonuts I felt the same thing, especially after the "leave it to the people that run the board" comment. Like we were making all the rules up as we went along.
@lurvleybunchococonuts I couldn't agree more with you. She was on the defensive right away. Makes me feel just a touch sad, but when she got more rude, I was done with that.
@nitnat007 right? It's so bizarre how many people think we make these rules up arbitrarily and have any control over it. The "I didn't know there were rules" excuse is so lame.
ETA: words
@ajsanders-2 Yeah, I hear ya. That's why it's always a surprise (a nice one) when people legit say, oh my bad, sorry about that! Going on the defensive with the "well it's okay cause I'm new" attitude drives me insane.

@lurvleybunchococonuts it really is. In all sincerity we ALL make mistakes, but be humble enough to own them. attacking in return, no matter what your situation is never going to be received well. I did love that Admin stated exactly what we had been saying as well. Small victories!
So, my bff just told me this afternoon that she is already totes KU and she just had her IUD out a whopping 3 weeks ago. Text including pic of a blazing hot BFP and all. ETA obviously, I'm happy for her. I'm just struggling over being benched and weird feelings about my loss this week so...
@nitnat007 exactly! If you screw up, just own it and say sorry. It's not a big deal. Unfortunately it seems like very few people understand that and are too self absorbed to admit they could have possibly screwed up so they proceed to blame everyone/thing else. It's sad and aggravating at the same time.
ETA: @kbamomma33 *hugs* I'm so sorry girl! That is so rough. That's great for your friend, and kudos to you for being supportive (I would have had a really hard time with that). It's really unfortunate that she didn't take your feelings into account before messaging you all that

You know, I'm actually glad that she texted me instead of called, so that I could have the reaction in private. I do think that she was trying to be considerate in that regard. I was def not prepared for the pic of that blazer though!
@kbamomma33 That's true, I suppose I meant more the pic/extra details would make it harder. I imagine in her excitement wasn't thinking that far though. It's great, but such a bummer at the same time. *hugs*

Glad you were able to react in private as she texted you. You seem like you were able to be supportive for her. I sincerely hope you have amazing, empathetic support. Especially for when you're struggling. *more internet stranger hugs*
I know I'm supposed to hate the drive by's ...but I kind of love them. They make my days go by more quickly and I'm sad when I miss a post everyone references. But people be crazy! Like how can you miss the "READ THIS FIRST". This is more a UO but it's how I feel today.
Thank you @pebbledam My knee is way less swollen now, almost normal looking, but it hurt pretty bad yesterday because I was a jerk and tried to do too much since we just got back from out of town and I was trying to get caught up. The pcp appointment is this Friday, to get cleared for surgery. I'm hoping the orthopedic will schedule soon after (I'll probably phone stalk them once I get the approval paperwork) so that we can get this show on the road!
@kbamomma33 stop being a jerk to yourself :P I know it's hard af, but take the help from others. I hope it gets taken care of quickly and that your recovery goes quickly and as painlessly as possible. Take care of yourself!

@kbamomma33 Dude, I'm sorry. No matter how happy you are for someone, or how much you love them, it's always hard. I'm glad to hear that the swelling is down!
@blackhottamales I actually used to kind of like drive-by's, too (especially when I was just lurking). There's definitely a certain entertainment factor. But, my opinion changed the first time one caught me on a bad day. I mean, I always got why they were bad, but when that one caught me off guard I finally fully understood. Now they just make me mad. I totally understand where you're coming from though!
@kbamomma33 *hugs* I'm so sorry. What a hard time to get that news. It's perfectly ok to take a step back for your own emotional health before being fully excited and happy for her. Also, I hope it's smooth sailing through the appointments and scheduling process!
@kbamomma33, so very sorry to hear about that text! All the hugs in the world!
Putting this as a TW just in case:
I've been trying to avoid Facebook like the plague recently, there's this post going around of 'people who are about to fall pregnant,' and of course my name is on there so everyone keeps tagging me and saying you are next. Well folks it were only that easy. Of course I have a friend with the same name, and she texted me saying if I am, you'll be pregnant soon too. Hunny, please, I wish. I mean I know we haven't been trying long, but apparently some people think you can get KU like in a blink of an eye.
@ajsanders-2 Ugh! That facebook post sounds truly awful! I've had to take a major step back from fb as well. Too many posts on there are triggering at this point. *hugs*
@mileswithmyles I know! I think the names are based off of stats from popular names or something like that. I swear I've been on it for like 4 years now....
I guess this is when I count my blessings that my circle of friends all think we're soooooooooooooo young to want to have kids at 29? Lol
I have one friend (just the one) who has two kids, she had them at 26 and 28, and she has a lot of mom friends she's met, but she says they all treat her like a teen mom.
Like, no one im friends with on fb talks about babies....at all.... but also...... I would unfriend anyone who tagged me in anything that wasn't either 1) a picture of me, 2) an adorable animal, 3) a funny meme.
@doxiemoxie212, At times I wish my friends were like yours, but most of my friends already have kids, and there's only a few of us left that don't. So, its tough.
@doxiemoxie212 I'm in a similar place with most of my friends. Marriage is the furthest things from most of my friends' minds- they're still mostly about getting drunk and banging anything they can get their hands on.
We we have a few friends that are married, but most of the ones with families are at least five years older than us.

@zamora_spin@KariAnn323 Have you watched the Orphan Black finale? If so what did you think? We decided to wait and watch the last 2 episodes together. Finished it last night.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm still processing it I guess. It was interesting to know exactly how many Ledas there were. I think I was so worried about losing one of the main clones that the "happy ending" seemed a little too neat. They also made me feel a little sorry for Rachel in the end; I don't want her to be part of clone club, but I do think they redeemed her a bit. Also, what happened to Charlotte?

My FB is mostly people with kids/trying to get pregnant, with the occasional person who's still way too in to partying. Most of my friends are actually like 10 years older than me, though, so that skewers things just a bit.
