Funny fact: You can’t say happiness without saying penis. (Not that i think you have to have/have access to a penis to be happy, just think it's funny)

prpl11butterfly · May 2018

Lmao @catlady2015. I can't use the words "quantity" or "quantities" without giggling a little. My last boss had a dirty minds and she always giggled. It rubbed off on me.

@prpl11butterfly Hahaha...hate to admit that took me a second but I get it and I will never forget it now.

I was working yesterday (PetSmart) and was doing some pricing and changing up the toy planogram, and we had a lot of clearance toys and my manager said to just mark them to $2 so they would just sell quick so they don't have to be counted for inventory at the end of the week. SCORE I bought a bunch of the $2 toys for my dog, and they were the Tuff brand. Normal price anywhere from $15-$25 per toy. With how quick my dog goes through toys, I was excited to get them super cheap!

prpl11butterfly · May 2018

Sweet score! And it's nice to meet someone who knows what planograms are

I use to make them in my last job.

Whitmore1027 · May 2018

@prpl11butterfly Literally my favorite thing to do at the store. Looove changing up planograms, pricing and all that stuff I can do to make things look nice! Glad to know you knew what it was!

Hey guys

I randomly am peeved at the moment regarding our HS graduation procedures. They want the whole faculty to wear hoods, even if you didn't get a Masters, to graduation. They literally have a closet of hoods that people have donated, so that people can borrow them in various colors for graduation. So, they want you to wear a hood of a school you didn't go to and pretend you have a masters for the purpose of graduation for the seniors. Really? Wtaf.

spottedginger · May 2018

@oaklandava that is so bizarre. Does the administration not realize that the hoods signify a specific achievement and that by wearing them, some of the faculty are misrepresenting themselves? I’d opt out. It is ethically questionable for sure and poor judgement.

oaklandava · May 2018

@spottedginger
RIGHT?! I am so peeved by it. I mean, my husband and I both have a Masters so some people think my comment is pretentious. But, it's not. Also, we can't find one of our hoods since our move and they are like you can borrow one from us. Neither I nor my husband are going to wear a hood that does not signify our specific degree AND our specific University. Not happening.

prpl11butterfly · May 2018

Yea, that seems really wrong. It does not seem pretentious to me that you would say that. You worked really hard and earned that masters. That shouldn't be belittled because it will "look good" for everyone to have them.

catlady2015 · May 2018

@oaklandava - that's just wrong. I used to work at a medical school and you would only wear the gown/hood of the school you went to. Some people on staff helping with graduation would wear the bachelor's gown/colors and that was totally fine. That's a badge of honor and it represented all your hard work and achievement. It's totally not pretentious, it's wanting to adequately represent yourself.

spottedginger · May 2018

The more I think about this is worse it gets. While I don’t think it is nearly as bad as civilians/ non-veterans who wear military garb to get special treatment without service, it is a similar concept in taking credit for someone else’s service/ sacrifice/ commitment/ work.

oaklandava · May 2018

@catlady2015 You're totally right. I know. It's infuriating to both myself and my husband!
@spottedginger EXACTLY! What the actual hell!

galactickates · May 2018

What's going on ladies?

My H and I just went to a near by pond to get some lily pads for our pond. It was so beautiful out!

At first I thought there was an oil spill in the pond and I got super outraged that people could be so irresponsible. Turns out I'm just an idiot and it was the reflection of a rainbow.

Easily mistaken for oil IMO

CraftyG · May 2018

@galactickates oh that sounds like such a lovely evening, sounds like the gardens going to look beautiful when it’s all finished!

As for me I’ve got another weekend by myself if anyone’s got any movies/ series to recommend? I’m in a reality trash/ anything that’ll make me bawl like a baby mood. Last time I watched the first series of the handsmaids tale and it was absolutely amazing, I fully recommend!

**Edited because spelling is hard

galactickates · May 2018

@CraftyG thanks! It's coming along great!
Season 2 of the handmaid's tale just came out. There are 4 episodes so far!

We've been watching Billions. So good! It won't make you cry but it's a good show

suzycupcake · May 2018

@galactickates I'm so jelly right now. Please tell me you have a teleportation device to beam me up to that pond!
Billions is a wonderful show. We've been watching since it started though we are behind a few episodes right now because my husband is taking forrrrrrrrrrrrrever to decide when we will catch up. Ugh. We have a strict rule about show cheating.

Ladies, someone posted this on the IF boards

SkilledSailor · May 2018

@suzycupcake I saw a video like that last fall! At the time we had just gotten our dx and I didn't know if I should laugh at the stupidity or cry that those people were possibly KU and I wasn't. Actually, I still feel that way. Haha

nmbrcrnchr1 · May 2018

@galactickates I don’t know what I’m more jealous of...the fact that you have a pond in your back yard or the fact that you live in a place with such beautiful scenery near by!
@suzycupcake oh my gosh, ridiculous! But so funny
@eleven_ just gonna put this out there, not a fan of you changing your avatar bc now I have to realize it’s you! I recognize most everyone by their avatars first and then their name lol.

doxiemoxie212 · May 2018

1am. Can’t sleep. But I’m getting hot stone pedicures with my mom tomorrow! So that’ll be nice.

Pond with newly acquired lily pads

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2018

@doxiemoxie212 +1 it's 1:45 and I just woke up from a terrible dream and can't go back to sleep yet. And yes, I am handling said bad dream like a child: trying not to cry and refusing to close my eyes.

doxiemoxie212 · May 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts awww lol you can do it! It’s just a dream! I have faith in you!

meanwhile it’s now 3am, I’ve taken a bath and had a snack but I’m still wiiiiide awake (obvi with that song that says “I’m wide awake” stuck in my head).

suzycupcake · May 2018

@galactickates That is so beautiful! Will you please share how you did that? I know that black stuff, I don't know what it's called, but we used the same stuff to line our sidewalk dirt areas to put black mulch in it and then planted desert plants, but how did you get it to wave like that? Also, how did you get it to divide and how deep did you dig?

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2018

@galactickates love the pond!! Super pretty

@doxiemoxie212 I am pleased to report I was able to fall back asleep by about 2:15 and if I had any more dreams I don't recall them. I hope you were able to get SOME rest!

nitnat007 · May 2018

@galactickates That is awesome! Really great job setting that up. It looks like a really peaceful spot to hung out around during the summer. Jealous.
@doxiemoxie212 @lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry you ladies had bad nights sleep. (hugs) I hate it when that happens and all you can think about is that awful dream. Enjoy your pedicure and both get some rest!

Did anyone else see that post in the 1st Tri board? I have so many questions!!

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2018

@nitnat007 1st tri is an odd odd place of driveby's and repeated questions. I always have questions there lol

Eta: actually all trimester boards are odd

galactickates · May 2018

@suzycupcake I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you talking about the molds? You just buy them pre made at home depot or Lowe's and dig until they fit in the ground.
Example of what we used on the top. You can buy them super cheap at Lowe's

ETA - pinterest and YouTube have lots of tutorials. When we were looking for ideas we googled
DiY Back yard waterfalls, DIY back yard ponds.

Which one, lol? The one with Lukas and Aemelia (I think it's a troll, just too much hot button craziness for one post) or the one with the woman who went "I need an answer to this so rather than google it and find out right away, I'm going to post on a message board and wait hours or even days for a response."

Although at least 80% of the posts over their fall into that latter category. I don't get it. Why do they post about factual/non-subjective things rather than just quickly google and find out? It's the same thing I don't understand about TTGP. Wait a day or two and test again. Why is it SO IMPORTANT to know now?

eleven_ · May 2018

@nmbrcrnchr1 Is this better? Different, but still Eleven?

nitnat007 · May 2018

@lovesclimbing The Lukas and Aemelia one. That was one elaborate story though, just not sure she did the homework on the math. Not to say that it is not possible.
Why wait when you can leave your destiny in the hands of complete strangers that have zero qualifications to back it up with. Sounds like way more fun. (sarcasm overload).

CraftyG · May 2018

I am crying. I’m watching a show where one family from the top 10% of the uk swaps places with the bottom 10% and lives off of their budget for a week. The rich family have a treehouse at home that the poor kids are loving so the rich dad said screw the rules I’m going to pay out of my own pocket for the wood and him and his kids spent a day building a treehouse so that the poorer families dad could bond with his kids in when he gets home from work! It’s so beautiful!

CraftyG · May 2018

Oh my god. After they went back to their homes the poor parents saw the treehouse and immediately started crying and their little boy was singing about his treehouse he was so happy! And I swear to god these rich people are the kindest I have ever met, a note came up saying that 7 weeks later they had helped them to pay off 3/4 of their credit card debt and all four of the adults have a joint savings accounts for a house deposit for the poorer family

galactickates · May 2018

@CraftyG what is this show you are watching?!
I have serious FOMO right now. I'm such a sucker for stuff like that

suzycupcake · May 2018

@galactickates Ohhhhh I thought you were using landscape edging and making it wavy through the soil, which would be a crap ton more work. Thank you for linking me to those. I didn't know I could buy that! Ordering some now for our yard. What did you use to get the waterfall effect?

CraftyG · May 2018

@galactickates it’s called Rich house Poor house on our channel 5, it’s amazing with a glass of wine. I remember one episode where a little boy from the poor family couldn’t play football because he needed new shoes so the dad bought him a new pair and he literally went to sleep cuddling and crying his new shoes because he was so happy he could play with his friends

galactickates · May 2018

We used those . We made a burm with dirt and placed what I sent you in combination with flag stone to make the waterfall. They have waterfall molds available. We did it the hard way. You will have to get a pond mold for the water to pool in at the bottom and get a pump. My H is loyal to the little giant brand. It comes with a hose. Which you hide with rock/ dirt/ plants whatever and it should just circulate.

suzycupcake · May 2018

Thank you so much!

offtoneverland · May 2018

@CraftyG That show sounds amazing! I would love to watch it, but I'm not sure it's available in the US. Boo!

Please keep telling us about these wonderful episodes you're watching!

SkilledSailor · May 2018

@craftyG That show sounds amazing!
