UO Early FFFC

[Deleted]

Confession...I've had rhubarb upside down cake for breakfast 2 days in a row now

[pghtruelove]

I pretty much eat candy for all my meals lately.

[erbear]

I've never had rhubarb.

Rhubarb is amazing! And it's really easy to grow. It's H's favourite fruit, although technically it's a vegetable (in the same way that tomatoes and cucumbers are fruit).

This picture was part of my "on this day" it's from 5 years ago, at our old house. That is all rhubarb. It was above my knees and some almost waist high.

I think I got 4 2.5 gallon bags out of that picking.
What's really sad is, I don't even like rhubarb. When DH bought the house it was already there. We kept it because my mom uses rhubarb.

FFFC: I've eaten rhubarb in cake and pies before, but had no idea it looked like red celery. WTF? I thought it was just a normal little fruity looking thing? Actually, I guess I never really thought about it at all.

[pghtruelove]

I've also never had rhubarb, I don't think it's really a thing here. I never even saw it until I moved south.

[veggiemo]

Not a big rhubarb fan, but my mom grows it and my grandma makes pies.

UO: I don't feel like LO (or DS) is growing up too fast. I think it feels just right!

Also, I was gonna rag on you about posting this seemingly random post in the UO/FFFC thread. But, then I realized the thread is about RHUBARB...and I figured, carry on with the optical illusion.

Don't hate on our very controversial rhubarb opinions, KKLL! We are really spicing up the conversation in J15.

[3dimesdown]

Also I can't fit that whole pic on my screen, so maybe that's why all I see is a wall with a rock in the middle? Is it worth getting my phone out to look at it or does someone want to just spoiler it for me?

[veggiemo]

Got the illusion. It was your comment of "that's all you need to see" @hazeldublin, about the wall with the rock in the middle that made me go back and look again.

[mrsdee1982]

I can't see it. What am I missing?

[pghtruelove]

I cheated. I googled it.

Here's one: I don't see a need for the Birth Announcement thread to still be pinned.

Also, I hate that the last person to post in it is some random.

This bothers me so much too.

[belle0720]

Gosh dangit I don't see anything but a freaking brick wall and it's making me angry.

I like rhubarb pies. Funny story, I once half awake/half talking in my sleep exclaimed "it was the rhubarb!" my sister and I like to exclaim it every once in a while.

This is so not an UO thread. What have we become?

[belle0720]

UO (which I'm sure someone else has UOed before) I just don't get the whole Lularoe thing. They look like something you'd by at Styles for Less for $5. I "attended" a party the other day and was tempted to buy a black pair to check out the quality and then I decided they were too expensive for a pair of leggings.

Besides the leggings, everything I've ever seen LLR just looks like something the Duggars would wear. All the sleeves and skirts are just a little too long or something?

[belle0720]

Kristykristyleelee I could've sworn they were $35 in the party I attended. I'd say $20 is how much I'm willing to pay for good leggings. I have some from Costco that I'm wearing right now that are amazing and were $20. They're plain black.

[Bluedaisy]

The illusion thing went completely over my head. Don't like leggings (they make my legs look like sausages ) and don't like cooked fruit so not a fan a rhubarb. I like the random stuff thread but don't care if others don't. Hmm maybe I think I've got it all...

[belle0720]

3dimesdown LOL the only LLR clothes I've seen were the ones in that one party I attended, but yeah I was really underwhelmed. I'm just confused how it's this huge craze right now. I'd rather go to TJ Maxx.

[tiffbot]

I don't know what I'm looking at

ETA nvm

[veggiemo]

Nobody is replying to my UO either. Guess it's not that good.

Regarding random threads, I am definitely a skimmer. There are 3 or 4 posters that I will read their entire randoms post no matter how long. But most people I just skim for key words. I always try to contribute something, although it's usually mundane and no one ever gives an F.

[belle0720]

I looked up the answer to the optical illusion, it was driving me nuts!

[beersandweirs]

veggiemo I agreed with you about the time moving at just the right rate until about 2 weeks ago when I started to have all the feels about LO getting older. But man, when we were back in those newborn nightmare days, I couldn't wait for them to be over...

[jillywilly]

I'm supposed to be getting stuff done before vacation and just spent over 10 minutes trying to figure out that stupid illusion.

Also, totally used it before, but since we're talking about LLR again, I think I'm the last person on this board to not own a pair of leggings. I've got a big butt and wide hips, I just don't understand how they'd be flattering, unless I'd wear them in place of tights in the winter... but normally I don't wear dresses in the winter. Boot cut pants or skirts for life.

Mine were $25 as well.
Seems like your consultant wanted to bump her profits up

Did you guys know that the 'creators' of LLR are mormons? I don't know why but since I've known that (couple days), I am lest interested in buying...

That makes sense to me.

Also, I tried to go back and look at the LLR party to see how much things cost, but I guess I left the party cause I was tired of the notifications.

Definitely did not know that.

I agree, makes me less interested in buying in the future.

Weren't you talking about watching Sister Wives the other day...?

But them being mormon definitely explains why all the clothes seem too long to me.

[jillywilly]

I would totally be pregnant for 15 months if it meant getting a six month old baby instead of a newborn. There's some fun parts about having a newborn, but for me, I honestly felt like a weight lifted and I felt more like me again after six months, and things seemed to work again. It might be partly because that's also when I stopped pumping, but DS just seemed to get so much more interactive and person-like at that age all of a sudden.

Also - FFFC, I really kind of want to formula feed potential baby #2 from the get-go, but I know H wants me to give breastfeeding another go, so I'll probably mom-guilt my way into it. I've also spent more time worrying/thinking about this than I should, given I'm not even remotely pregnant at the moment.

[belle0720]

@hazeldublin I had to look up Canadian Goose Coat. Parkas with fur in the hood? Yeah I wouldn't buy one of those. But I'm in California, I wouldn't have a need for one!

ETA: (so that I'm not tagging you in two consecutive posts) Agree about loving the newborn stage. G is so much fun now, but holy cow I do not have a second to myself anymore!

[belle0720]

UO? I don't like Uggs. I've never owned a pair or any footwear that resembles them.

Apparently I have a lot of opinions about clothes.
