Just what i needed! wtf warranty people! All the “fixes” they are planning to do are just surface bandaids or cause more damage that they don’t own up to! Maybe I’ll email the ceo again.
Ha! Totally didn't realize I added a picture of one of my dogs. He definitely has a WTF look going on though. Lol
My wtf is to McDonalds...all I wanted was an oreo mcflurry with EXTRA oreo...what I got was a cup of ice cream half way mixed with oreo. Where's my extra oreos!?!?! Ugh...
@wildtot definitely write the CEO, cfo, all the higher ups. You'll get things handled the way they should be. I'm sorry you continue to have to deal with the warranty bs
WTF ovens?! My big oven smells like leaking propane so we had to get someone out here to check it out. My two double wall ovens don't work. We can't afford to replace the oven AND the damn bathroom...actually out of the two I bet I could spend less on the bathroom (although, never done a remodel so I could eat my words there). Oh the joys of home ownership.
@zombiehoohaa omg mcflurries!!! How have I gone this whole pregnancy without having one?!?! WTF
TTC History:

DS passed away Nov 2020 due to prematurity and birth trauma. TTC: March 2021 IUI #1 Nov 2021, BFN IUI #2 Dec 2021 BFP. MC Jan 2022 IUI #3 Aug 2022 BFN IUI #4 Sept 2022 BFN AMH test came back at .081. Was going to move on to IVF with DE, but have decided not to. Will be leaving it up to the universe now.
Wtf !? Came home started cooking, don’t have all my ingredients- call husband who is on the way home. Have him pick up what I need. Gets home and I missed one major ingredient. I just want some damn pepper casserole! Instead eating jimmy johns
WTF this death cold?!?! I sneeze like 10000000000000000 times an hour, I've gone through packs and packs of tissues, my cough hurts and I have zero energy. I just feel like crap all around. I don't know what to do to get some relief.
WTF to myself and all of my coworkers, especially my boss. We have this April 1st deadline every single year when some of our clients have to submit a letter to their school district. Apparently this year, every single one of us completely forgot? April 1st is Sunday, it hasn't been discussed and isn't on our calendars, so either we all forgot, or some people remembered but didn't bother to tell the others. Oh and also 75% of our clients are orthodox Jewish or Hasidic, so getting them to sign and fax letters the day before Passover should be really fun....
My boss has been doing this for 30 years. I legit think she's distracted by her newfound dating life (she's getting divorced) and just forgot. Granted I forgot too, but I've only been Doing this for 4 years. Major wtf.
@zande2016 ugh we are going through quarterly summaries and a deadline i had for end of next week they decided to move to this Friday (announced today).
So part of our flooring is missing supports which is why i shakes. And our builder warranty keeps insisting it’s normal. DH is super over this and doesn’t want to deal with it but i don’t think it’s right to just let it go. I’ve never had to deal with lawyers but a few people keep suggesting it.
All you McFlurry lovers/haters have to check out Carvel's Carvelanche. They always use a lot of mix ins and they don't overgrind it. I think that's one of the first things I'll send my H out for post-baby and post-GD....Carvelanche with chocolate and vanilla ice cream and butter finger mixed in. Mmmmmm.
@zande2016 That sounds so good. We don't have one around here though, sad! Every McFlurry I've ever had has been so badly mixed I've give up, and like @BrittG13 I hate when my Reese's are dust particles, so we gave up on Sonic too! We're blizzard loyalists in this house. I'd take a royal reese's brownie blizzard any day of the week.
@zande2016 I've never heard of that place and it looks like the closest one to me is near dh's work...I'll be making a pit stop there this weekend! @BrittG13 Sonic is such a disappointment with theirs...I just can't with them.
@noideawhatshesdoing LOVE Dairy Queen!!! Hate that the closest one is now 30 minutes away. My brother and sister both used to work at one. So we would always get extra goodies in our blizzards. Mmmmmmmm...
@wildtot your H needs to get his head out of his butt and do something about all this warranty issues. It's incredibly unfair that you are left to take care of it all! Sending you hugs!!
so i'm in a crap mood and feel a little run-over by mounting BS and grey weather and feeling like crap today Cliff notes: WTF Mimi "rules", WTF corporate america/HR and playing by the rules getting you screwed, WTF at DH wanting a baby shower so badly
-How many times do we have to ask my MIL not to give DD fruit in syrup!? Yet again, MIL watches her Monday and feeds her nothing but carbs and sugar and on Tuesday DD has bad poop and diaper rash by Thursday. Only 4 more weeks...then DD goes to daycare full time and MIL goes back to just heating up bottles when LO arrives. Really this is just one thing in a long list of ignored house rules, but her poor bum! - I told my boss if i officially did maternity LOA i'd get screwed and have to take most of it off unpaid instead of playing vacation loopholes. He called HR on a hypothetical and assured me it'd be fine and we'd make it work...guess who was right. Had a one on one with my "leave specialist" today - they figure i'll be up to 2 week sick by July (had to empty it 2 years ago for DD and we accrue like 1 hour a week) and they'll "gift" me 2 weeks which is different than the "unlimited flexible vacation" that is our normal policy but cannot be combined. So I'll get 4 weeks paid, but can take additional bonding time unpaid with job protection up to 16 weeks, but will be sent bills from 3rd party for my portion of benefits for those unpaid weeks. So negative pay really and not "unpaid". I need to work for 4 weeks before I can take additional "unlimited flexible vacation" and need to be cleared by dr to come back (6-8 wk) so no coming back early and going back out because why bother after a MONTH back and DS will be 10 wks old and already been in daycare part time for 4 weeks. DH said take as much time as i want/need and don't worry about the $ because we've been saving and can cut back on the kitchen stuff and home improvement timing... I just hate that I was right that following the rules and officially opening my leave of absence ticket got me majorly screwed and really blue about the confirmation of how badly this company treats employees and country treats working mothers. - DH and i were talking a lot last night as neither of us could sleep and we had a lot to discuss between maternity leave and the wedding travel and so on...so he starts talking about how he really wants us to have another shower since it's a boy this time and everyone bought the freaking pink version of everything last time and he was going to ask his mother if she was planning to throw one. I went completely off on him. I already wanted to graciously turn down any second showers because 1) just had DD 2 years ago so second shower feels tacky/greedy 2) both my bridal and baby showers were complete drama cluster f's and i'm STILL really hurt by MIL's treatment of me during them 3) I just don't want to go. He wasn't getting it so i went all the way there about how awful his mom was during the last one and I'd already paid my dues and if he wanted it that badly he could wear a wig, a dress, and shove a pillow up it and sit through it himself since it's only his family anyway so i should be the one suffering through it. He said it was more about the chance to get his family together than the free stuff though he wanted the free stuff (which i pointed out is wasteful as we don't NEED anything and people who want to buy clothes are just going to buy us clothes without a shower). Told him I could hand a CO-ED bbq if he wanted the family together that badly but made a deal that he wouldn't say shit to anyone about hosting one and I wouldn't say no if someone offered.
Ok thanks for letting me rant...DD is still on a food strike so I ordered bertucci's delivery to cheer us both up which is now here. Long weekend for me...but that means hardcore packing up my craft room/office tomorrow while DD is at daycare which is kind of bittersweet...new room is earmarked for my stuff but probably won't get unpacked for 6+ months
+1 to team dairy queen! I'm sure half of my weight gain is because of the $5 lunch. I mean a blizzard is $5 anyway so basically I just get free chicken strips right? Now I want a blizzard....

I have never had a blizzard from DQ! I always go for the dipped cones...there's one right down the street from my office..hmmm maybe i'll pass on the mcflurry and go for a blizzard..hmmm

@gingerbride26 What a frustrating day/week you're having! And totally want to see your H in a wig and dress with a pillow shoved up it, sounds like an awesome compromise. He wants the shower and you don't, so why doesn't he just have one and leave you out of it. Also, H and I are seriously worried about the sugar content thing down the road with my mom, MIL will be fine, but my mom is all about the sugar. So I feel like your posts about the fruit in syrup are my future. Ugh.
@MrsMiller8588 There is a DQ between our house and the doc office, we've made a bad habit of stopping there on the way home after every appointment. I think it's part of the reason H comes with me!
I wish we had more DQs by us, the closest one is like 40 mins away so I've only been a couple times. Carvel is huge in my area, it's funny for me to hear people have never heard of them.
All this ice cream talk is kind of depressing me, back to my carrot sticks and hummus.
I’ve never heard of carvel @zande2016 lol. I love DQ though! They had this chocolate covered strawberry blizzard for Valentine’s Day. It was soooo good!
@gingerbride26 I’m sorry it’s been a challenging week! I hear what you’re saying about a baby shower. I know with at least my people, most of them won’t take no for an answer and sometimes it’s just easier to relent (warranting appropriate behavior from everyone). I’m pretty sure my friends are going to insist on throwing me a shower since I threw one (or helped) for both of them but they’ll both have newborns when it’s shower time for me so it really doesn’t make sense.
@noideawhatshesdoing I've tried it before and didn't really like it. Maybe I tried the wrong flavor though, which ones do you like? I actually can eat some ice cream, the mix of fat, carbs, and protein seems like a decent bedtime snack for me to give me good fasting numbers the next morning, i just have to be careful about portions. So I can eat one Snickers ice cream bar for 18 carbs and be fine, but I couldn't eat a Blizzard/McFlurry/Carvelanche, or an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's (like me husband does, the jerk). It's really hard to eat just 1/2 cup of Ben and Jerry's!
@zande2016 I don't care for the vanilla or chocolate at all, they are a weird texture to me. I like the peanut butter one and the oatmeal cookie. The caramel is just sort of meh to me, but hubs likes it. Haven't bothered with trying the rest of the flavors because the PB is my fave, but to tell the truth, I'd probably eat anything that had pb in it.
I feel special - we have DQ and Carvel...and Baskin Robins, TCBY, and a bunch of hand made family run places @noideawhatshesdoing yea sorry, wish i had upbeat encouragement - it's ok for occasional visits/days with grandma, but any routine watching makes setting boundaries with proper food a nightmare. She brings it to our house when she watches DD - none of it is stuff we keep in the house. @hillbillywife thanks. So far MIL has been a lot less INTO this pregnancy than the last, so i'm hoping that means she's checked out enough that no shower or if she insists now that she knows it's a boy this time, be ok with co-ed bbq (she flat out refused to consider co-ed last time)
OMG @gingerbride26 I miss TCBY so much! They all closed around me. I am a really big fan of those fancy yogurt bars where you pick your frozen yogurt flavor, serve yourself, then add all the toppings from the topping bar.
@gingerbride26 We've sort of resigned ourselves to the idea this will take place with my mom, she won't be the main care taker for LO, so at least it will be somewhat occasional. My 5 year old niece has a lot of serious food allergies and can't have certain things, so the worry is mom will go overboard with our kid to make up for it. Mom can't see that niece is happy with the treats she does get and isn't missing out because she doesn't know what she's missing out on with poptarts or whatever.
@noideawhatshesdoing that's a good sign that she understands/respects food allergies! I was gluten free for 5 years before we figured out what was really wrong and my mil NEVER had food I could eat at family events or could remember what gluten was. She might be open to treat boundaries! Plus if she's not primary care and it's occasional, you should be fine!
