People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

I have zero good confessions this week. But I am now going to go look at the bumpadmin profile to read up on the shut down threads for my flame fix. Thanks for the tip @marebear15

I had an interview this week for a non-profit health organization that I'm really interested in. In the interview the hiring manager asked me how their cause affected me personally. I was caught off guard by this question and quickly came up wit "actually my grandfather passed away from xxx disease 15 years ago, so it's greatly affected our family" Which. was. not. true. He did pass away, but from a different disease.
So then I had to quickly call my mother (who also works at this organization) and tell her "If anyone from HR contacts you.... I told them Grandpa died of xxx disease. I'm sorry! I panicked!"
edit for typo
@lulu1180 also a great suggestion.
@coco2787 oh no!, but seriously a good deal is a good deal. would it be wrong to sell them?
eta: my FFFC (which in all honesty are usually lame) I am making ZERO effort to do any work today and when some one asked me if I was busy I said yes, but I spent my morning ordering wool socks on zuilly.
TTC#1 10/2016
TTC/IF:included medicated cycles, IUIs and 2 rounds of IVF with 1 embryo each.
BFP finally in 12/2018
TTC#2 06/2021
planning FET

@lulu1180 thanks for the tip on where to find some entertainment/flaming. There goes my productivity for this afternoon!
My FFFC is lame but it's blasphemy here in New England: football season hasn't started yet and I am already tired of Tom Brady and the Patriots. Seriously, why are TB's Instagram posts always considered newsworthy? "Up next at 6:00, we have the GOAT on a horse!" SMH
And, not being one to turn down free food, once she was full, she wandered the house with an uneaten one forever trying to find somewhere to hide it.
Apparently she doesn't like them, because now I give her a tortilla rvetu day because her little confused face while she tries to decide where to put it amuses me.
@coco2787 Awe I'm sorry. I'm sure that really stung seeing them come. But 100% you can't pass down a great deal like that. Free is free!
I have no real FFFC. If I had to choose one... even though drive-bys and all that crap annoy me, I do get some enjoyment out of seeing the creative responses you ladies give. Whoever said the "my favorite tests are by far the positive ones" a week or so ago killed me dead. Too funny.
If anyone has not seen the butt baby thread, it's a classic and I suggest you stop what you're doing right now and read it!

To go off of @jhems776, organic food is a joke and there is so much science behind that. Stop bragging you eat organic, IDGAF about your "luxury apple", Karen. You got tricked into buying a more expensive apple for no reason. Enjoy.
I somehow did not properly put my tampon in this morning. I was running around and suddenly felt very odd "down there". Ya, because my tampon was falling out! So uncomfortable and I wasn't by a bathroom for a loooong time.

But why would I want to eat something that has been sprayed with synthetic chemicals over naturally sourced pesticides? Why would I want to eat something that has been injected with preservatives just because they look 'prettier'.
To each their own, but at the very least, science does prove that eating organic produce does maximize antioxidant and micronutrient benefits. And A LOT of science agrees that it's best to minimize processed foods in general because it can increase the risk of things such as cancer. I love science but it has gotten a lot of things wrong when it comes to women and their reproductive health.

Honestly, I don't read the research, but pesticides and GMOs scare me . What is the cause of the increase in food allergies and such? (I don't deny other possible reasons such as abtiobantib and over cleanliness.) Many professionals also claim there is an increase in autism too (not convinced personally, it could be possible differences in diagnostic criteria/awareness) but if there is an increase, why?
Also, what happens with the ugly fruits/veggies? I hate to think of all that waste

For example, my chickens free range on multiple acres and hand excellent welfare. However, they are not considered organic by legal standards (I feed them non-organic feed and would use things like antibiotics or pain medications if needed). Organic means that certain things (mostly focusing on medications) are not used to care for the animals. (I personally think a sick animal should have access to antibiotics if indicated, but that’s my [personal and professional] opinion.)
Best. thing. Ever.
I needed that so so much.
My FFC is I refused to let an older couple go ahead of me at costco because I really wanted to get thru the till so I could get a poutine lol.
I lied to them and said I was running late for work which is why I couldn't let them go ahead of me. it was a lie forsure but once I got in my car I got a call back from a job I had interviewed for yesterday and found out I got the job alls well that ends well lol
