WTAF to Fishy McBites. I must have blocked those out or we didn't have them here.

[br

We don't have mcfishy bites but we do have hot dogs at bk

we had brats at mcd's

Those mcfishy bites look good.  My mom brought me a milkshake when in was in the hospital but then DH's grandparents came and wanted to see the twins so I had to escort them to the NICU. Looking back I should have told them to chill and watch the game show network with me while I finished my shake.

I finally signed up for pottermore because of that damned patronus quiz. I'm irrationally upset that I got sorted into Slytherin. I'M CLEARLY A RAVENCLAW! My patronus is a sphinx cat though. Lol.

I'm a Slytherin too!

Another ginger in Slytherin!  

It's because I said I'd bring the ginger cat, isn't it?

Which made me think of a FFFC!

I was that pregnant person who told everyone in our immediate family that they HAD to get the Tdap vaccine in order to hold the baby. People were.... not happy. My family treated me like a Mom-zilla. Looking back, I guess I was probably stressing myself out more than I needed to. But when literally every single health care professional I encountered told me to not, under any circumstances, let someone hold the baby who hadn't had the vaccine, I just trusted them.

This is not unreasonable. There was an outbreak declared here the week before DD2 was born and I put the hammer down. Public health was very avid about it as well. I also had a 1L of hand sanitizer on the counter for everyone who came in and asked anyone to held her for the first month to please wash first. This was my third baby.

Well between bobynnumbers, gingy, and fire, we can totes turn this house around.

I tried to be that person. But I also have an irrational fear of pertussis. My stand partner died from it in college.

I think I ate 17 million of these. I'm shocked they didn't come back for a second year because I ate so many of them, artificially propping up demand.

these seem to be quite popular in Minnesota...

Cherhorowitz the flip flop comment in the article struck me. I was told that I HAD to wear flip flops to the interview. If I didn't it would be an automatic fail.

I just remembered he also told my friend she wasn't allowed to wear black underwear. like if you accidentally bent over in your low rise hollister jeans and he saw black it was a big no. Crazy town

I worked for them for a bit. I was also in their calendar. Allow me to impress you with my knowledge. They don't make anything in the color black. Too much of a bummer, dude. Or they're racists. Probably the latter. But it was the first sign Abercrombie and I wouldn't get along.

:: looks down at all black ensemble ::

I was pretty shocked when Abercrombie started the lingerie company gilly hicks and offered occasional black bras....but no black underwear. Weird merchandising.

I probably should have posted this yesterday because clearly it's an UO but I wish more people would have visited me in the hospital after I had DD. It makes a difference that I didn't have her with me since she went straight to the NICU but I wanted all the company. Some family came to see me and 1 co worker during the two days. Not one friend came to see me. Also after my family realized they couldn't see the baby, they decided they weren't coming back the next day to see just me. They were all like "call me when you are home with her and we will come by." Ummm thanks. I'm lonely and sad and hurting. I could have really used the company.

One of my Uncles had kids relatively late in life (he's 55) and has a 9 year old and a 5 year old. I feel no real bond with them because I'm generally awkward around kids and also the cousins that feel like cousins to me are the ones that I grew up with. My dad just told me that he and my mom are having them come over to babysit them in a week and a half. I'm trying to think of a good reason to get myself and L out of the house that Monday night to avoid feeling obligated to pay attention to them/dealing with them wanting to hold L, etc. Then I feel like an asshole because I should like my cousins, lol.

I am sorry you felt alone. I hope you let them know at some point it would have been nice to have company. I know a lot of people are not comfortable with hospital visits with out invites.

Although your immediate family should have reached out, checked in and asked if you would like company. (IMO)

Or all the people that were willing to come "help" once the baby came home (which was mostly just a ploy to try to hold him). Where were they when we were going back and forth to the NICU and could have used actual help with the dogs or maybe picking up some groceries?

Oh right, no baby to hold so who gives a fuck.

I made my parents and brother get the tdap vaccine. Why the hell not? It is so easy and NBD for them and so important for the baby so if they put up a fight I would have told them to pound sand.

One of my sisters suddenly had a fear of needles when I told them. -_-

The other one was being a jerk about it for a while, and then one day she cut her foot really badly on something and had to go get it anyways. LOL. I win.

[HelloSweetie]

Last year the dentist told me I'd probably need a root canal on a specific molar eventually. Then we moved and right before we moved again it started hurting. So it's been like six months and I still haven't gone because I can't afford it. I just take a lot of ibuprofen. This is my fffc.

I didn't ask friends to get vaccinated to hold DS, just that they wash their hands & not visit if sick. But family members that were going to regularly see & hold him & act as caregiver to him? Yeah, I asked (not require) they get it. Everyone was cool about it. I don't even remember it being a thing when DD was born in 2009.

[doneanddidit]

I was all set to confess my lack of guilt for being happy to be alone this weekend (first time in 4+ years) even though DS wasn't happy about me not going with he and DH on the trip.  But then DH tells me that his dad didn't come (DS was excited to see grandpa) and DS isn't feeling well (he got meds on Wed. and he went to school yesterday and we thought he'd rallied). So I do feel guilty because I know DH is going to stick it out just so I can still have my weekend.

I rage quit my town fb group thanks to two back to back racist posts. I know NH is 103% white, but it's still a bummer to know that your neighbors can be ignorant asshats.

That's a confessiony enough random, right?

And to stay on topic, I was cool with parents and in laws visiting us immediately after both babies.

I had a student today tell me he used to get in fights at his old school a lot. I asked if he was doing better here. His reply: "hmmm...how do I put this...there are a lot of ignorant people here. Ignorant colored people."

This is a 14yo kid. I I formed him that was one of the most blatantly racist things I've heard someone say to me out loud. He was shocked and truly didn't realize that would be offensive. WTAF.

Makes it even worse that he apparently carefully considered that verbiage before he said it out loud! Did he apologize?


The first post was about a kid who got in trouble for painting his face black (despite the school telling students not to do this) for "black day" for spirit week. Don't ask me about why black day, either. Black is not the school color.

Second post was about supporting our cops, how a riot in our town would be put down quickly, and then devolved into calling minorities looters and thugs in the space of about three posts. Fuck everything. I just can't. I fought the fight on the blackface post but by the time I got to the police one I just couldn't. I know I should, I know I should.

This just makes me upset. People shouldn't have to deal with pain because medical/dental insurance is awful and procedures are expensive as fuck. I'm sorry.

Thankfully she was only there for 4 days. It was more that I was tired and lonely and sad. MH was there but he was sad too. They came to see me the first day in the hospital and then I didn't see them again until after she was home.
My aunt and cousin did bring me pizza and salad when they visited me at my house which was nice. I just didn't like being in the hospital alone with just MH and listening to the woman in the bed next to me bitch about how she wished her baby was in the nursery ALL DAY LONG. I heard nothing but complaining all day.
