whats up?

dreamscapes_ · March 2018

There's a show on Netflix called 72 Cutest Animals. I'm watching it. It's so adorable.

prpl11butterfly · March 2018

I am realizing I am going to suck at keeping up on this board. I want to be supportive but there are so many women here and I can't keep up with all the posts. I try to respond to something but then can't remember the SN and then can't find the comment I wanted to reply too to find the SN. I sort of wish it were set up more like Facebook where I could comment on everyone's post individually.

dreamscapes_ · March 2018

@prpl11butterfly I honestly just open Notepad and type my responses in that as I read. That's the only way I'm able to keep things straight, so I totally get it.

kindbytealikat · March 2018

@prpl11butterfly I hear you I have to double team. I read on my laptop and respond on my phone then save and it goes over to laptop so I can copy and paste the format for my comment

galactickates · March 2018

So I totally thought everyone was being a little dramatic when they talk about stranger danger on TB... NOPE!!!! I fully admit I was wrong! Anytime I want a little drama I lurk August 18. That board is cray... but it just hit next level scary crazy. Stranger danger is REAL and anyone who doubts that check out their latest FFC - last page. That whole exchange creeped me out so much it's made me rethink what I share here. I know most people are good but there are some real nut jobs out there.

dreamscapes_ · March 2018

Yeah, I tend to be very cautious about what I share in public forums. I only share where I work because there are over 70k of us that work there.

kindbytealikat · March 2018

@galactickates that was my board with my last loss....Maybe I dodged a bullet, I haven't lurked there for obvious reasons but now I want to investigate LOL

Kath525 · March 2018

@galactickates wow! That's crazy! Thanks for the entertaining read though! Haha!

I'm watching this is us. I love this show !!!

Stargazer1lily · March 2018

About to indulge in some call of duty with H (video games nothing sexy happening here lol)

suzycupcake · March 2018

@Stargazer1lily I knew I liked you for a reason!

@galactickates *goes to lurk 8/18 ffc* Hopefully it's the 3/2 thread you're talking about.

eleven_ · March 2018

@galactickates lol I love how she's trying to be all ominous about the fact that she's faking a pregnancy to strangers. She's not scary, she's just a freak.

suzycupcake · March 2018

Just read. Another comment below my gifs.

And reported. Hopefully they are using the same ip address in said 'multiple accounts'. But really, what could this person possibly do to anyone?

suzycupcake · March 2018

@eleven_ It could be a guy. That's what I say. Probably a sociopath.

eleven_ · March 2018

@suzycupcake I actually thought about that when I wrote she. Some kinky guy who gets off on reading about morning sickness and bloating lol.

meggyme · March 2018

That’s crazy!!! Why would they just come right out and say it though? I never understood ae’s. Way too much work for me.

AFM: apparently mucinex can cause insomnia. No wonder I’ve been sleeping like shit lately.

galactickates · March 2018

@meggyme wasn't that so creepy. Reading it later it gave me the heebee jeebies.

Also PSA DO NOT LOOK UP "Creepy gif" I couldn't even scroll down a row. It's awful. Save yourself from the horror.

suzycupcake · March 2018

Omg I totally just looked it up. I was gonna post one of them to be funny but then I didn’t.

prpl11butterfly · March 2018

Maybe I'll have to lurk that thread.....and I'll avoid creepy gifs.

I do all my bumping on mobile. **TW, children mentioned** I have a 2.5yo DS and niece who is 9, I don't often have time or space to open a laptop. And when I do, DS loses his mind to play games.**end TW**. The alternative is that I love tit comments but then I feel bad because I don't want people to think I love what they are saying. For me it's "I read, I support you and I'm sorry for what your struggling with here" as well as "omg I love it". Hell, even having emoji buttons like Facebook would be great.

lurvleybunchococonuts · March 2018

@prpl11butterfly lovetits def have multiple meanings and I think *most* of us know that it doesn't always mean "OMG I LOVE IT"

I think the majority use the lovetit like that when we're on mobile. It can be difficult on long threads to respond to everyone, even on the computer. A lot of times I'll have a notepad next to the screen so I can type responses while I go through and then copy/paste it. I like @dragonette505 method of quoting what she's responding to and commenting; although I imagine that can get long and messy too. Honestly, I really don't mind the mobile app (I might be one of the only ones) are there things I'd tweek? Yes. But it's really not as bad (IMO) as so many people try to make it seem. It's def not perfect by any means, but I don't know why so many people (mostly when lurking BMBs) expect it to work like exactly FB. It's TB, not FB, you learn to

it's imperfections... Or maybe I'm just that strange

prpl11butterfly · March 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts I don't mind mobile all that much. It's glitchy, but what app isn't really. I used it for my A15 and it's certainly not any worse then it was then.

And here this, I thought we might all could use this.

wishiwaspreggo · March 2018

@eleven_ I realize I never responded to your question about Wayward Pines! Okay, the show is SO different from the books. You know how Pam is young and hot and really sadistic in the books? She's like a sweet granny with a dark side on the show. Not nearly as sinister as I was hoping. And David Pilcher isn't that sinister in the show either. They really tamed it down. I was excited about the reckoning scenes (because I'm sick like that) and wanted to see the crazy costumes and beatings. But no, it was just a public execution with throat cutting. In the books you could really sense the dread and mob mentality but not so much in the show.

I'm still watching to see what happens because they altered the plot so much. It's an okay show, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it if you didn't even like the books that much.

A book by that author I do recommend, though, is Dark Matter. That messed with my mind so much I had to re-read it as soon as I was done. Total mind-effer.

meggyme · March 2018

There’s a spot on the app where you can request new features (which is why there’s a contraction counter and dietary info on it now. Seriously, why?) and I keep suggesting they make a button that would automatically tag people. Like you read a post, click the button and it would automatically put the “@“blahblahblah for you. They don’t seem to care about improving the community. Only reinventing the kick counter and period tracker apps that already exist.

prpl11butterfly · March 2018

@meggyme that would be a great improvement!!! Some SNs are so close that it's easy to mix them up with someone not even involved in the thread.

galactickates · March 2018

@meggyme I had requested an inbox notification on the app. It's impossible unless you check to know if you got a pm. I hate that! This whole app needs a revamp

galactickates · March 2018

Happy international women's day

thinking of all of you ladies

maureenmce · March 2018

This puts the random in random thread, but you guys, have you ever felt like the universe is messing with you, like, on a very specific personal level? I just took a new job and come to find out my ex husband works here, on the same floor. He's very nice, it's been like 10 years, we're both happily remarried, but...not what I expected! (And he didn't expect it either!) Anyway, today I get my first paycheck and by some fluke in accounting it has his last name on it! I haven't gone by that name, again, in like, a decade. Apparently the payroll company had done my paychecks on a previous gig years ago and associated that name with my social security number, even though that's not what was in my start paperwork, but whatever. Then! Today! I walk past him in the hall, turn a corner and slip on some water on the floor. COMPLETELY wipe out on the concrete hallway floor, twist my ankle and bruise my elbow. WTF UNIVERSE.

Luckily, I work freelance and will only be in this work situation until end of June but COME ON.

suzycupcake · March 2018

Trump to meet with Kim Jong Un. This is unsettling. My unsettling is unsettled.

maureenmce · March 2018

@suzycupcake What could go wrong??? *laughter that turns into panic*

catlady2015 · March 2018

@maureenmce - oh, come ON! what are the odds of that happening? Hope you're feeling better!

lurvleybunchococonuts · March 2018

We're in PA! 240 miles left out of the 1120 total. Almost to my momma's!!

prpl11butterfly · March 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts hope the last miles are smooth sailing! Enjoy your time there! I don't know how you ladies manage to be so far from your moms, I'd go crazy without mine close.

lurvleybunchococonuts · March 2018

Guise we made it to NJ. I've been gone for all of 1 day and I think I'm homesick. I miss my kittens

#pathetichomebodywhine

galactickates · March 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts - I was wondering if you made it! I'm glad we got an update. I'm always immediately home sick after leaving my house. Even just to go to the grocery store. #I-understand
