  • @themadcamel I just started watching this over the weekend! I think I'm on episode 6?? It's crazy! And I don't want to be attracted to him because he's effing creepy but I can't help it.
  • @themadcamel @b_1029 Anybody else love Penn Badgley since Gossip Girl?? I haven't watched that but I read the book and it creeped me out BAD. I probably will not watch IT for that reason. 
  • @jennifer_louise @b_1029 yep, I loved Penn in Gossip Girl. His character is definitely creepy buuuuut I find myself rooting for him, which I know is so wrong! If you took out the stalking and other terrible things, he actually seems like such a nice guy lol.
  • Penn Badgley doesn't do it for me. I find Shay Mitchell to be way more attractive in that show. Damn, she's hot!!

  • @lulu1180 one of the other 3rd grade teachers (who is also a close friend) has a student that we always laugh about behind the scenes. He's a great kid, just quirky and kind of funny looking. We've always said that he looks like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family. My friend texted me a picture of the kid doing the floss and had face swapped his face with Fester's. :lol:
  • @themadcamel #1 That's way funnier than it really should be.  #2 I first read that as he was flossing and had to remember that the floss is now a dance....totally showing my age right now  :#

  • @kbrown2385 I love that show! I’m pretty much throwing away our house but I plan on moving after we find something and start fresh 😂.

    @holly321 Please start a blog! Sorry about the pup! 

    @Themadcamel I liked Penn in Gossip Girl and hear a lot of people like it!

    @marebear15 The FOMO is so real. Not to mention they got the board organization LOCKED DOWN so easy to do the creep lol.

  • @marebear15 totally feeling the FOMO, too.  
    @holly321 I am resisting the urge to google "cat herpes" but my curiosity might get the better of me.  I didn't even know that was a thing. I'm also wondering if the other cat's vet records literally say "Diagnosis: just an asshole". LOL :D
  • @emeraldduchess, I am not sure how many forms of cat herpes exist, but this one causes conjunctivitis and upper respiratory issues.  He got an injection of antibiotics yesterday and is already doing so much better.  

    And I would approve if “asshole” was Indy’s diagnosis, it is quite fitting.
  • @themadcamel I heard "you" was an amazing series!! I think I might start binge watching tonight. Is there just the one season?

  • @cdnrunning so far just one season but I believe theirs another book so I would bet a 2nd season will come soon hopefully ! 
    I really enjoyed the season show 
  • @b_1029 YEP!! My first two days, the cramps are debilitating. It's like a big eff you on CD1 and 2. Advil/Tylenol takes the edge off but always wears off in the middle of the night.
  • @cdnrunning I've noticed the same about weekend/weekdays. All in all I'm glad there's less happening over the weekends so I can actually get stuff done.

    Also, agreed @b_1029. My PMS is worse too, but I am always in denial and pretend those are early pregnancy symptoms. Every cycle. 
  • @jennifer_louise you make a good point. I'd be a 100% non productive if there was a ton of activity here over the weekends. Sooooo not sure what my excuse for getting nothing done this weekend was  :D

  • @cdnrunning I've found that Midol works waaaaay better than Tylenol or Advil. I only had Tylenol on me yesterday and after 2 hours I was still in pain so I ran to the store for Midol and got way more comfortable.

  • @cdnrunning you should definitely watch it! There’s currently only one season, but the episodes are 45 minutes long and there are 10. 
  • Thanks @inthewoods23 - I definitely need to change things up because the advil/tylenol regimen doesn't quite cut it.
  • Anyone see what the original "Disregard" thread was about?  Just an oops post?

  • @shamrocandroll yes. She was a reg who has moved on and my guess is she was lurking and got mixed up as to where she was.
