  • @inthewoods23 I'm so sorry you had to see that.  Sometimes it feels like FB is giving us all a big middle finger. 
  • @begging4abump hotel staff toooo.

    @inthewoods23 I posted earlier (on this thread I think?) about changing FB settings for ads--but that only worked for FB ads, not instagram ads, which I had to turn something off on my phone to stop seeing PG/parenting ads there. I tweeted IG about it & they did not respond, but other ppl I know did, and something finally stopped MOST of them.  Anyway, I get soooooo hot and angry over this, so I feel you and I am also so so sorry it's happening to you. It's like "do you WANT me to use this platform or not? How many of these do I have to mark irrelevant for you to get it?!!"
  • @inthewoods23 ❤️❤️❤️

    A plumber was here earlier working on one of the bathrooms not far from my cubicle and now there's a strong stench of sulfur coming from there. I have to walk past it to go to our break room! 😩

  • @kagesstarshroom I don’t think so. I think I just ate too much of it. Eating normal amounts never effects me.

    I am off to google more about pineapple and implantation. I might have to jump aboard the pineapple train.
  • Anyone else a fan of Queer Eye? Everytime I watch it I think about revamping my wardrobe, tossing all my skin care products and starting over. Too bad I can't have someone remodel my whole house for me!

  • @kagesstarshroom yaasss! I did so well last year, 3rd in my pool. It was pure luck, and now there's a lot of pressure to do well this year! 
  • @inthewoods23 Last year, if I am remembering correctly, was CRAZY bc there were some major upsets in the round of 64 and everyone's bracket was a bust by like the sweet 16. 

    @jennifer_louise I definitely feel the pressure to do well in a consecutive year when I do well either in the football or march madness pools I do to, like "prove" it wasn't luck even though... I feel like most sports betting always is luck haha. 

    To both of you and anyone else interested: I think we should post our final four/champ predictions here by Wednesday evening at the latest? Does that sound good? I want to know who to root for when my bracket busts lol and I'd like for it to be yall have chosen! I haven't finalized mine yet, but I filled it out earlier just to have it done. It has my cleverest bracket name yet: Zion + Tigers + Bears OMY (bc there's that Duke guy Zion Williamson whose name the announcers say like at least once an hour, no matter what teams are playing.)
  • *TW for death of a pet*

    Today just sucks. Stupid drive by has me angry. Then I went on to FB for a moment and the top of my feed is my aunt saying her dog (who got spooked and ran out of Petco yesterday and went missing) was struck by a car and is now dead. She doesn't want kids so her fur babies ARE her babies and I AM JUST. SO. BUMMED! 😭
