@whitealbum29 I don't remember which GIF you're referring to, and I just spent an embarrassing amount of time going back to try and find it, hahaha! But thank you!

So, @brookert615’s is so much better. My skills are limited. Mine was taken from googling for images. Apparently the picture is from some news story where a woman *TW* had a police officer friend pull her husband over so she could tell him she was KU in a “cute” way. Major eye roll, but the image worked. */TW*
Honestly, when I did the google search, I was hoping to find an image of an HPT in a police uniform. Sort of sad that doesn’t exist.
Me as Captain Stark White of the Pee Stick Police, Line Eyes Unit: Bitch no, there ain't no second line there! You blind?? 😅
Omg I just remembered the one chick who mentioned "the pink line and the white line". I had snark on that one. Like omg there's a WHITE line on the tests?? Lol

@flowntheloop Thank you so much for the sweet nominations! I was also one who gave you the “crunchiest” award but I absolutely meant it in the best way❤️ Like the way that YOU would prefer—“nature-lover” AND “health nut”. Everything you list/share makes sense to me, as I grew up super organic with suuuuper ‘on it’ healthy parents: aka eating molasses & honey instead of sugar, carob instead of chocolate (cruel joke!), tofu instead of meat, smoothies/juicing & green juice & hemp hearts, eating only organic before the mainstream had ever heard of this stuff. We had a garden & used food & tinctures for medicine, my mom was a midwife & talked about how the cycles of the moon really do effect a woman’s cycle and what day she gives birth, etc. So I see you & 💕appreciate you💕 & only wish I was doing even more things like you! No negative connotations whatsoever from this camp.😊
@flowntheloop I also nominated you, but also meant it super positively! I don't think of it as negative either, and I can be a little crunchy in some regards as well. I admire you for it!

@flowntheloop Oh yeah I definitely meant it in a positive way about both you and @kagesstarshroom ! Definitely the health-conscious, nature-lover kind of connotation and to me at least, seeming to have kind of a "holistic" approach, talking about TTGP in terms of our overall whole-body-and-mind health in a way that we might not hear our OB/GYNs talk about it. It's largely how I am too, I don't think it comes across as much on the board for me tho
@shamrocandroll & @whitealbum29 Ditto & ditto. I did not realize either of you were also on more of the natural-health-mind-body-spirit spectrum. Nice to learn a bit more about you all & what we have in common.
@inthewoods23 I just want to give you some more props for that awesome GTKY yesterday. You’ve come up with some good ones! P.S.: Woods, were you also responsible for starting that one awhile back where we shared pics of our wedding dresses? That was another all-time fave.

@flowntheloop thank you! I love that I give the impression that I have my ish together, as I sit here at my cluttered desk with a gigantic pile of papers to grade.
@inthewoods23 - just saw your post from yesterday about your SIL and her BF taking a 24 hour trip across state lines. My brother and SIL do the same thing! She can't tolerate my (freakin *awesome*) family for very long. It drives my SO up the wall. They will take a 24 hour trip to visit my parents like 3 states away from them.
