I love showing this part - one of the stairs. Yes that side is completely rotted and the nails do NOT hold it down at all.
I could talk about the awfulness of it all day. 😆 Maybe I'll save that for next week so I can guarantee my spot on the weekly leaderboard next week!

YALL. MH thinks the neighbors tried to poison our dogs? It's like 10pm, & he is SUPER UPSET & investigating w/ a flashlight in the yard (...this COULD be funny if it were purely absurd, but these neighbors 1. suck & b. hate us. [lol @ "1" followed by "b"... ]) DH saw the older dog eat something by the fenceline & now the pup's nose smells like bleach. I looked up what to do, & we gave him some creamer (we didn't have milk,) & he seems fine. I wouldn't let MH induce vomiting bc he just wanted to SEE what he ate & the internet specifically said not to w/ bleach. I just... whyyyy. This was the pup who had hives badly earlier this week & DH thinks these incidents are related. I am hoping it's all nothing & MH is just being nutty, but also can't help but worry--about the situation & the dog & the fact that MH feels like these ppl are threatening us.
@kagesstarshroom oh no! I hope your pupper is okay! What crappy neighbors if they are behind this!

@inthewoods23 Love the deck! Our back patio is wood, and rotted from rain hitting the end of it (it's mostly covered but the end extends past our roofline). I'm jealous of that gorgeous work!
@kagesstarshroom oh no, your poor pup! I hope YH is wrong about the neighbors bc if he’s right they are the most vile humans! I don’t understand how people can harm animals 😢

Happy Friday from my dog who has been attached to me all morning and is helping me try to get my sh*t together for work. I had 3 beers last night and feel hungover. Coooooool
@inthewoods23 Beautiful and Amazing! I'll await specific details in my FB inbox after you stalk and friend me. Bwahahaha.

@kagesstarshroom I dunno why, but your comment didn't load before so I didn't see it until now. But WTF? That's awful that your neighbors are so bad that he would even consider that a possibility! Any chance you guys could somehow record the fence line and see if anything unusual is going on? Either a cheap security camera or a GoPro or something? I hope he's wrong!

@kagesstarshroom What the crap! I hope your pup is okay! Sending all the positive vibes! I surely hope it's not something that was intentionally done by your neighbors .
@shamrocandroll Yes! I want us all to live happily ever after in our own BMB lol.
@b_1029 Awe he's such a sweetie!!! Sorry you feel crappy! I feel like beer gives me the worst hangovers anymore!
@kagesstarshroom What specifically has your husband thinking they tried to poison your dog? I really hope he’s wrong but holy cow if these people are trying to purposely hurt your pet they are pure evil.
@b_1029 1 beer or 5, I wind up with a three day hangover. Aging is fun! Hope it wears off soon.
@b_1029 your dog is so cute! I can't even think about what 3 beers would do to me. I had a slightly-closer-to-adult-sized glass of wine last night (I usually pour myself like 5 sips worth and spend 3 hours drinking it) and woke up with a little headache in the middle of the night.
@tyrion_ These people are... stupid, *not* a word I like to use as a teacher, but applicable here--and nasty and a little on the unhinged side. Their lease is not being renewed--and who knows if their landlord mentioned all the complaints from neighbors or what. Additionally, there's no reason anything we own that smells like bleach would be back by the fenceline? It makes more sense they threw something over the fence either just out of shear stupidity or intentionally. I, truly, can go either way--like, DH could be getting wild ideas in his head oorrr maybe they are either quite stupid or intentionally evil. I really don't know.
@shamrocandroll Thanks for your concern! Yes, I had my husband point our camera at the fence line, actually, in case they are truly doing something evil. And YES about the Dream Team BMB.
@celticknotfire I have been wondering about her too! Hope she is okay. Also, yes, MH is livid already--I would be upset if we found out for sure it was them.
General doggie update: Jasper is fine this morning! Here is a pic of part of what made us concerned--his mouth on one side is like, slightly discolored, and he has these, like, burn-looking spots on his snout right above his nose? Thanks everyone for their concern!
@kagesstarshroom Poor puppy. I hope he’s okay. I do not take kindly to neighbors trying to poison a dog. I’d be extra diligent about watching him on that side of the yard for a while. And, definitely report it if you find proof.
@kagesstarshroom Beautiful boy! Glad he’s on the mend. I would likely be like your husband and assume the worst when it comes to people like that. I’m glad their lease isn’t being renewed and I hope that means they’ll be out of there soon.
I know not everyone always pays attention to all of the threads, so I just wanted to let people know that something happened in today's FFFC thread that I feel like anyone who is a regular on this board needs to know about. Not trying to start anything here... I just know that I would want to know about it, if it were me, given the personal nature of this community. So... if you feel so inclined, head on over there to see what's going on. Cheers!

Thank you @shamrocandroll. I completely agree that the regulars need to be aware & make their own determinations.
I also want to say that I just posted something that may seem totally against my nature in the GTKY thread from yesterday. But honestly, I feel so much better now that @b_1029 & @mercury94 shed some light on a situation I was previously unaware of, & that’s where my post is coming from. It is not snark aimed at anyone else, it’s in full support of their protection of this group.
Yall are too sweet, seriously, thank you for all yr well wishes. Jasper feels the love. I will keep you abreast of any updates to the neighbor situation...
@kagesstarshroom sending more love for Jasper (and some real *fist shaking* at your neighbours if they really did try something as disgusting as that). I don't blame you for assuming something fishy is going on, I'd think the same thing. Glad he doesn't seem any worse for wear.
TTC History:
Me: 36 MH: 39, TTC since Dec 2017

Dec '18-Mar '19: Letrozole + TI - all BFN
Apr '19: Letrozole + TI, - BFN. Repeat SA (27mil) & DNA fragmentation test (17%)
(also, dang, that FFFC thread ::fans self::) Thanks for pointing us there, @shamrocandroll & thanks to everyone's fave detectives for getting things out in the open. So much makes... sense now...
DH just came home & said, "I need anti-inflammatories" (random?) and immediately went and took some sort of pill in the bathroom, but I also forced him to take some green tea bc... ::taps head:: I have all this TTC knowledge, and it's good for more than TTC!
@tyrion_ I understand why you’d feel that way and I’m sorry this is one of your first impressions of TTGP. If we can help ease your mind in any way, please let us know how. We just try to protect our own which is basically what this all is about. As long as you’re honest, I don’t think you’ll have any issues here!
@kagesstarshroom I am so glad to hear that Jasper is doing ok today. But what an ***hat of a neighbor you have, to even suspect that they would do something like that?! Definitely keep an eye on him for any strange behavior and always keep hydrogen peroxide on hand in case you need to act fast. Poor boy. Steak dinner for him tonight.
Wow......That was not entirely what I was expecting in the FFFC thread today. Falling down that rabbit hole was.....unexpected.
@tyrion_ Just be careful about what you divulge in a public forum like this. I can tell you for sure that the large majority of the ladies who participate here are genuine and wonderful, and make it all worth it.

@shamrocandroll I am such an open book but definitely learned my lesson with my first bmb and reading all the insanity of the 2014 catfish. I really stay pretty private but I am guilty of letting my guard down from time to time. This crap just reminds me that there are some real mean people out there.
@nitnat007 Yes to steak dinner! Well, or: a friend of ours dumpster dove all these (still warm, totally fine) roasted chickens that I'm gonna get from her to turn into a dogfood feast! I read so much about what to do if your dog is poisoned last night haha that I feel like an expert on certain things--and yes to hydrogen peroxide! Anyway, snot posting to that rabbit hole of a thread itself for reasons, one of them being most ppl said a lot of what I would have wanted to say anyway, so--again, thanks to all those peeps.
@tyrion_ Yah like, this FFFC thread is a+ not normal for this community. I second @b_1029 on how supportive everyone is here--& I'll add, in my experience esp. on TTCAL. I think the key word there is "community"--that's why the whole thing sucks. It feels like a betrayal in some ways to the larger community--we are all super protective of each other, rooting for each other, and have each other's backs. But lol if this were my first week I might also be like dayyymn.

It is not snark aimed at anyone else, it’s in full support of their protection of this group.

(also, dang, that FFFC thread ::fans self::) Thanks for pointing us there, @shamrocandroll & thanks to everyone's fave detectives for getting things out in the open. So much makes... sense now...
DH just came home & said, "I need anti-inflammatories" (random?) and immediately went and took some sort of pill in the bathroom, but I also forced him to take some green tea bc... ::taps head:: I have all this TTC knowledge, and it's good for more than TTC!
Stuff like this makes me question jumping back into these types of forums.
I came back during a vulnerable time because I felt alone and that definitely doesn’t help.
Yay anxiety.
Wow......That was not entirely what I was expecting in the FFFC thread today. Falling down that rabbit hole was.....unexpected.

@shamrocandroll I am such an open book but definitely learned my lesson with my first bmb and reading all the insanity of the 2014 catfish. I really stay pretty private but I am guilty of letting my guard down from time to time. This crap just reminds me that there are some real mean people out there.
@tyrion_ Yah like, this FFFC thread is a+ not normal for this community. I second @b_1029 on how supportive everyone is here--& I'll add, in my experience esp. on TTCAL. I think the key word there is "community"--that's why the whole thing sucks. It feels like a betrayal in some ways to the larger community--we are all super protective of each other, rooting for each other, and have each other's backs. But lol if this were my first week I might also be like dayyymn.
Not us:
and then...
