@begging4abump you get a message to your inbox saying you got a warning. From what I can tell nothing else happens (I tried to see if I could start a discussion and I could) but not 100% sure. I don’t know what the abuse points are for either 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah, you just get an inbox warning... FYI, if you respond saying something like "WTF, this is totes ridic" they won't bother to respond to you. Ever.
But you still have all privileges until you reach like level 4 in which you can't start discussions or whatnot and are 'jailed.' Not that I'm personally familiar with this or anything.
If you get banned, you also get an inbox message I think and you're pretty much just done. Forever. So, uh... find a friend.
@shamrocandroll don't the BGs know your Mr. Rogers gif is just him singing the "middle man" verse of "Where is Thumbkin"?? You were just singing an innocent preschool song to her!
Right??? Mr. Rogers is the least offensive person ever! Speaking of which, has anyone seen they're making a movie about him and Tom Hanks is playing him!? He looks just like him in the trailer! I'm excited!

Off to go see if I got a warning. I probably earned it. You know... as much as anyone else, except OP. @dpchickens Weren't you in jail this past fall or winter? ... and apparently I am good!
I, too, got a warning. While I admit, I did break the TOS by cussing, I was just in a really bad mood when I saw that, and was so done with the nonsense. Also, as a former reg from TK's Snarky Brides board circa 2009, I felt my inner b*tch come out and couldn't restrain her.
I appreciate the love about my witty comment, though! It feels good to get remembered that way, lol.
It all depends on their mood or who's on vacation or whatever. I never got a warning when I used a gif to call kmorales a B. 🤷 Js<div> 1st Tri girl must mean progesterone? I can't brain the dates she's talking about. You would start estrogen priming in the first half of your cycle, butit sounds like she's saying she hasn't got AF yet since her retrieval. They would need to be doing FET with embryos from a previous cycle (instead of fresh transfer), have started PROGESTERONE already, and then maybe she's getting an evap or whatever from her TRIGGER??? 🤦. I have no idea, but that's about as close as I can come to making sense of it.
How is everybody's weekend???? DH is busy giving me cr#& for hanging out on my phone, while he hangs out on his phone, doing very important antivirus stuff. :/ Sure.
Oh! To the Elizabeth Warren thing, I haven't seen it, but that sounds pretty horrible. I swear that's exactly their intention to de-incentivise marriage on a societal level and undermine the concept of FAMILY. Ughhhh like really, let's all just be roommates for tax reasons? It's so sick, imho
@BusinessWife I was annoyed at my first one, I used all abbrevs! My guess was she just reported us but I have no idea how it even works. MH and I have the same conversation all the time. He’s always telling me I should be on my phone less but he’s pretty much glued to his + his computer (mostly for work, but still). I haven’t seen anything about Elizabeth Warren but I’m awful at keeping up with news- going to google now. My weekend is pretty good, we went to a cookout at my bffs house last night which was fun besides *TW*
there were 6 couples there including us- 3 of them had babies all born within days of each other so they were all like “omggggg they have to be best friends!” One of them is my bffs baby so hearing stuff like that is always hard for me, because I wanted our babies to be close on age and even if I get KU this month, ours will be almost a year younger 🙄. The other couple has a 2.5 year old and even though she didn’t directly tell me, which annoyed me tbh (seeing as she said “so what’s wrong with you and YH? - side note, she knows we’ve been trying a while), I figured out that she’s pregnant, like 10 weeks along. I remember last year when we went to my bffs FILs lake house together, she was saying how easy it was for her and her H the first time (1 try unicorn, of course) and I was just like ah cool it has been like 6 months so far haha. It was just a hard TTC day for me, especially since all the babies are at the stage where they’ve just started smiling and trying to interact. Blah.
@emeraldduchess people are crazy man. I guess you never know till you’ve had to try more than 5 seconds 🤷🏼♀️ I’m sure she didn’t mean it rudely but I took it that way.
WTF @b_1029?! I know usually people are well-meaning but as @emeraldduchess said, somebody clearly needs some sensitivity training. Extra hugs, friend!
@b_1029 Holy wow. I wish there was some snappy comeback for that, but there's really not. Well, there is but it would probably involving yelling or tears. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Wow, I had no idea people were getting warnings and things from the rude drive by people on here this past week! I'm sort of happy I didn't say anything, but really enjoyed the comments others were giving! Thank you for speaking your mind everyone who did! Love the gifs @dpchickens
@b_1029 Ugh. I hate that person. It’s not okay to ask questions like that. I feel like anyone who has any idea how IF works knows that it’s frequently unexplained. I’m so sorry she talked to you that way. Head up.
@b_1029 That sucks so much. It just serves as a reminder that people don't "get it". I'm sure she thought that horrible question was her being sensitive and asking about your TTC journey. *insert eyeroll*
**TW pregnancy**
Well, I just had the most embarrassing moment at church. Not 5 minutes into the service, our worship minister gets up to do church announcements, and casually inserts that he and his wife are expecting. It just hit me wrong, and I was not prepared for that. So I started crying, and ran/walked out to the bathroom. I told DH that i couldn't stay, so we just left. Before I even hit the parking lot, I had text after text of people who saw me leave and wanted to check on me, which is really thoughtful, but we haven't told anyone about TTC, so now several people are asking me if that's why I was so visibly upset. I hate that I'm having to expose this part of me on someone else's terms, because of what was essentially an IRL drive-by. At the same time, one of the women who texted me told me she's dealing with IF, and I didn't know. So it's good to know I'm not alone in this crappy situation, I guess?
@b_1029 wtf? good grief. I know people don’t know what to say sometimes but like, that’s not a normal thing to ask.
@shoogapoff I’m so sorry you got blindsided today. I’m also going to give a wtf to people asking specifically if that’s why you were upset. Definitely very nice of them to reach out and say something kind but no questions please. I hope you are feeling better.
@shoogapoff I had a similar experience a while back. Our pastor was telling the story of how he ended up adopting his son, but it included a lot of information about their IF journey and the decision not to do IVF and I just lost it. I had to leave and waited for DH outside because we were ushering that week, so we couldn’t both leave. It really sucks when something public causes that reaction. It also really sucks when people think they are helping and just ask all the wrong questions. I’m so sorry that it happened to you like that. Lots of hugs your way.
@b_1029@BusinessWife - The Warren thing was about her student loan debt forgiveness proposal...individuals making $50,000/households making $100,000 and under could get $50,000 in debt relief. But people making above that amount (up to $250K/household) would be eligible for forgiveness too - it would just be on a sliding scale.
Ughhhh I’m so sorry @b_1029 I hate that someone did that to you. 💜💜💜 I feel like people get nosy and entitled and it’s awful.
@shoogapoff I’m so sorry, I had something very similar (and awful and embarrassing) happen to me when I got blindsided too. I still think about it. I could physically not stop crying, and also couldn’t leave. It was awful. Please know I’m thinking of you, and sending you strength.
(Friend who had been trying for 5 minutes announced her pregnancy to me in front of everyone. We had arrived late and everyone else knew but me and MH. Another friend turned to MH and said “dude! You’re next!!” And I started sobbing. And could not stop.)

@b_1029@shoogapoff I’m sorry, ladies. Those comments and announcements were just not fair. I’m starting to get into the anger stage of grief. I just would like to go into public for a day or two or online and not have other people’s pregnancies shoved in my face and hear how easy it was for them. I know not everyone is public about their struggles, but it seems like everyone around me is pooping them out whenever they feel like it or having oopsies.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 I agree, and definitely feel you on the anger stage. Also, I know you probably meant "popping them out", but I love the image of "pooping them out"!
@shoogapoff Bahahahaha...... you know those butt babies!!
