Also, I had to out myself to my manager last night. I'm traveling for work with just the two of us and we went out for dinner. We sat at the bar and I had to say I wasn't drinking.
She was nice enough to subtly acknowledge that I told her without making a big thing of it, which I appreciated.
I haven't been feeling too bloated the last few days. All of a sudden my underwear are tight and I want to take them off...ugh, I am ready to go home.
I have a thing about tight undies. I would rather go without than wear anything that digs in. Might be why I am still currently wearing maternity underwear...they are just so much more comfortable.
I'm not particularly bloated or anything, but I have to sit in my suit for 3.5hrs on an airplane this evening. Sweatpants and couch can't come soon enough.

So my fiance wound up having to work late yesterday and I didn't get to go shopping. So now I have to go bra & undergarment shopping after work. (I need things to wear under my wedding dress, which is lacy and white). I'm glad my tits aren't hurting like they did last time!
I'm super hungry today. I don't remember that kicking in so early last time!

I'm so ready to head home. Found out that H is planning on going camping with a veteran buddy of his which means I get the house to myself for at least one night!! What does this mean? Grandparents may be getting calls to take DS for a sleepover Friday night This would all be more fun if I could have wine, too, but I'll settle for a milkshake.

MH had a Costco sausage and is now curled up on the couch in agony. Feel for him because that sucks but can't deny being a little frustrated that I must cook, clean up, and entertain DS on my own.
Hey all, how are TB people finding out about here nowadays? Is there a recruitment or... maybe NariaDreaming, is a good person to tag for this question?
I have a SIL who is big on TB and I'd rather her not find me. Wondering if I have to go ninja stealth...
Not much active recruitment these days- though I do have a new home IP address so I can start finding lost souls myself.
When we burned their community to the ground, we went down in infamy. They still talk about the exodus in whispers on the boards

So for funsies I went to TTGP on the Dump to see what was going on.
A poster actually called out another for daring to start her own thread instead of posting in another general thread.Cray Cray Dump
"Finally, lurk more. Get in the TWW or WTO threads. This board has threads to join in and no one is really special enough for their own thread because it bumps down important ones we could be looking for. Plusandalso to get support here, you generally have to give support. It's a two way street."
So this poster thinks that having been off of BCP for over a year and not having a natural cycles is not important enough to ask for advice. <eye roll> Otherwise that thread was pretty name and not horrible advice being given.
They also have a weekly "Grad" post for people who got their BFP in the past week. No one is allowed to post a response, just "love it" to say congrats or whatever. And if you aren't a frequent poster then you aren't allowed to post in that thread. <more eye rolling>

Why so many fucking rules? How annoying.
And the rules (not sure who enforces them) are only helping to kill of what remains of that site. Within reason posters should be able to ask questions. I know if everything was buried in a WTO/TWW thread or other generic title then I would miss a lot of threads where I might be able to offer advice.
FFC: I got flamed over there. A woman made some comments about "people of a certain demographic," and how she was having a bad day because of all the "baby mamas" at the grocery store, and topped it off with a comment about someone "not even speaking English." I was *so* upset by this, but I was new and trying to make a good-faith effort to be part of the community, so I held back and just asked her if she would explain what she meant by all that. That's it. Literally, "Could you explain what you meant by that comment?" Like 867 people came at me hard for daring to question a reg, and someone actually called me a bully. I read plenty of TD TTGP back in the day, and that shit never would have been tolerated. That place makes me sick.

Oh wow. That is just beyond comprehension (both the original comments and the response to your question).

The glory of TD used to be that if you made fucked-up comments, you would get called out for it, whether you were a reg or not, and the only people tossing out the word "bully" were the randos who would drop in for drive-by BFPs or people about to go bat shit crazy. My how things have changed. I find their app easier to use, which is why I tried to join in there this time around, but I couldn't handle how special it's become.
Ugh I'm sorry you're in beta hell NariaDreaming. I'm team enjoy the week if you can.
I had the longest day at work ever and still have some stuff to do tonight. I also need to con DH into bedtime so I can eat chips and watch the Bachelorette.
Why do I freak out ever day I don't have nausea? I had so much nausea with DD from the beginning. Maybe I should POAS again...one of the digital ones.
I'm totally team poas, but remember every pregnancy is different! Mine have all been incredibly similar usually so much all day nausea and food aversions from the day my test turns positive, but this time nope. But i poas on sat and got 3+ so that makes me feel better.
Pee in All the things!!!!
*on all the things. We don't need to pee in anything other than toilets and cups.
I knew about TCF from the exodus but my BMB ended up on facebook instead. I went back to TB after my BFP just because I already had an account and quickly realized it was not the same as it was before. I'm sure if anything gets mentioned about this forum over there it will get deleted, they are all about following the rules and freak out if anyone breaks one.

This. People there are so sensitive yet they apply zero sensitivity to others. Besides the BF board, I hated that place.
