I need to rant, I just came back form Joann fabrics and while walking around I found these cute wooden forest animals but I couldn't get them because the stupid new chip in the credit cards are making life difficult. Even though I was trying to run my card as credit it still wanted my pin number. WTH man I've used my pin maybe twice in all the years I've been with this bank. I know this system has been set up to try and keep people safer and all that but seriously it seems to be nothing but a pain in the ass.

lovetruly2015 - If you're having issues with the chip function, I would report the card and damaged and have them send you a new one. My first chip card from Capital One wouldn't work as a chip card and started not working as a swipe card either. I requested a new one and the new one works great.
Certainly could be something wrong with the one they sent you if you're having issues.

The card and chip work fine. I just don't know my pin and it seems like everywhere I go now they want my pin. What I need to do is fine the paper with my pin on it. I just think this is a stupid system all the way around. Seriously the whole point of running my card as a credit is so I don't have to put in my pin, so why is my pin now required to run credit in certain places. Lame.

That is a pain in the butt lovetruly2015! Hopefully your bank can get it sorted out.
I just got back from a day at the zoo with my DS's preschool class, it was so freaking hot that I'm basically just a puddle of blah on the couch now. I highly recommend the frozen limeade at Sonic for a hot afternoon, we stopped on the way home and it was just what I needed. They're only 79 cents today too!
I should throw in some laundry and I need to start on prep for dinner soon, since I have the afternoon off, but I don't wanna.
I feel like I'm getting sick or its allergies. I hope it's just allergies.
My brain has so much going through it right now. I started working a couple days a week from home a few months ago, and now I'm going to open an LLC and try to form my own company. I'm currently working on a team, which I plan to continue, but I'm not sure how to separate the tasks I do for them and what I'll do for the other agents. It's very confusing and I'm not getting much help...whomp whomp
Random old man started a conversation with me today with "8 months?" I smiled and said "no, 5" then he followed up with "whoa, people are gonna stare at you". People have no idea what pregnancy really looks like and should just keep their mouths shut.

Pin and chip is the standard for credit cards all over the world, the US is way behind and super vulnerable to fraudulent use. It's tough to make the transition but I think it's worth it. But I've never been asked for a pin with a credit card so they probably screwed up and ran it as a debit card.

WTF? Dude is an ass.
Agree! People can be such idiots. I got this kind of comment all the time with my last pregnancy. Yes, being short and little pudgy doesn't help matters but seriously! Just say I look great!
Y'all I'm exhausted and cannot think of a single thing that I want to eat for dinner. Ugh!! That's my complaint for the day.
flyakite I haven't felt hiccups yet. With my toddler, I felt hiccups constantly...she had them all the time in the womb and as a baby and even now if she laughs too hard. I was wondering if I would feel them this time around...but I can't remember when they started with my daughter.

VISA, MasterCard, all the rest got tired of having to do fraud monitoring and dealing with sending people new cards all the time. The PIN adds a second factor that makes it harder to just steal your card and use it. It's annoying as hell, but banks that have put it in place are noticing a decline in credit card fraud.

Pregnancy rage would have made me respond with something like "at least most of them will be polite enough not to say anything" and glare.

Yea, most of the frustration comes from the fact that most of the stores that are just starting to accept the chipped cards are sort of half-assing their implementations, which gets everything all wonky.

I had a surprisingly pleasant interaction with a customer today: Customer "I didn't know you were expecting!" Me "I am!" C "when are you due?" M "September 1" C "you're beautiful. I wish you a happy, healthy, uneventful pregnancy"
This woman needs to give the rest of the world lessons on how to approach a pregnant woman... Like the guy briannea dealt with. I'm so sick of hearing "it's going to be a long summer for you"
Guys, my baby is measuring a full week ahead. I'm pretty sure she's going to end up like her daddy and be super big. Also, I apparently had some glucose in my sample today, but they think it was probably the caramel macchiato I had before the appointment. Probably should dial back on the sugar.
Went to a play date at the bouncy place today, then got DD moved into her big girl room. I love the orange and gray! However, we got her a bed instead of just having her mattress on the floor and she is currently crying for 'my bed' and won't sleep

fem that's my fear in switching DD into a big girl bed. She's in a toddler bed now. I changed her sheet last week and when I went to put her down she was crying for the "uddah one". FX your DD comes around to the new arrangement quickly. Keep us posted!

Well she's asleep for now, I'll let you know if it lasts!

I measured a full week ahead when I went in a couple weeks ago too! I'm getting scared! I'm so much more obviously pregnant than I was this time before!
I'm getting really frustrated with the whole swimsuit thing...I really wanted a 2-piece that wasn't a tankini, but I'm really hating the look. I tried the high neck halters thinking they would cover a bit more in the chest region and make me feel ok about the belly hanging out but it just looks like I'm trying too hard. I think I'm just going to get a one-piece and be done with it.

I considered looking at one pieces, then remembered how much it sucked to have to go pee in a one piece.
I have a tankini on order from Kohls that hopefully I like when it shows up.

That's what I meant. I'm usually too tall for one pieces...

See that makes sense. But a lot of stores where I am don't utilize the pin option for credit cards. So it seems to me like someone could still just steal my credit card and use it with the chip regardless. Right?
Yea, without the PIN the only better protection you get is against skimmers, where thieves put a little machine in the card swiper that copies the info off your magnetic strip of your card and can make themselves a copy of it for themselves.

My doc said I was measuring 2 weeks ahead at my last appointment. According to her, "some babies just come out big and there's nothing you can do!"
I left repeating "deep breaths" to myself on the car ride home.
She's measured pretty much exactly on track until now, so I'm hoping it's like a random growth spurt.
But my H was so big that his mom's OB didn't want her to even try a vaginal birth and went straight to scheduled C-section.
