Unless it takes us more than 3 years to conceive, I'll be done having kids by 30. That being said, I don't think that anyone is "too old" to have kids... Unless they've hit menopause, but that's different.
Today is a twat. It's going so slowly, and I think we need to run to the medi-center after DH gets home.
My nanny knows we are trying to have another baby and I'm pretty open with her about my treatments because she's the only "friend" I have down here. Plus I have to drop off DD at her house every time I go to the RE so things eventually come out. We were talking about my old boss having IUI done, who is 38. She said, "Isn't she too old to be even having children?" And I said, "She's 38." And then she said "Yeah, that is waaaayy too old. I can't even imagine having more kids at my age." SHE JUST FUCKING TURNED 34 LAST WEEKEND! I said that she's not even considered advanced maternal age and that I planned on having kids up until 40 if that's what it took to get me the family I dreamed of. She looked at me like I was out of my damn mind. I am so angry at her.

So sorry for the pain SheilaTheTank, try a heating pad, maybe? @erin2021, that sounds so uncomfortable, I'm sorry. Hopefully dipping it will solve the problem. wowcheezits, how terrible. I know how bad that hurts. People really have no idea. Hey did you ever get those lining supplements? Big hugs to you. swivelchair5, what an asshole! I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you can get it fixed without shelling out too much money. Too bad there were no cameras or anything, maybe you can check on that. ((HUGS))
My finger is a twat. For some reason, under my wedding ring I get a horrible rash, almost like eczema
I know it's because moisture keeps getting stuck under my ring and then irritating my finger. That or I'm allergic to the metal in the ring.
I used to have this same problem until my jeweler suggested I take my ring off while sleeping and don't put it on until I'm finished getting ready in the morning. They said that my ring had a buildup of hairspray on it and it reacted with the metal giving my finger a rash. I haven't had a problem since!
Also, sleeping with rings on is bad for the prongs and can damage the ring. This from a jeweler.

Really? That sucks. I never take mine off to sleep.
Mine is the coworker who said to me, "Time to have another one!" when I made mention that my toddler will be 19 months on Sunday. If she only knew my struggle...
((Hugs)) Someone (a stranger no less) said that to us at a birthday party on Saturday. FUCK YOU.

Ugh I was tagged in a fb post today where a friend announced her pregnancy. She posted a 'now we're just waiting on *insert my name* "
Granted that I haven't been trying long, but they don't know when/if I've been trying...

I don't have any kids yet, but how do you guys respond when you get the inevitable "are YOU guys thinking about having kids?" question? I just say, "sure, one of these days" and change the subject. But man, it seems like I have people asking me several times a week now (coworkers, friends, family). Because obviously it is 100% their business.
I ask them if they are going to pay for them and that we accept all major credit cards and cash. That usually shuts them the fuck up.

My students. I legit had an ENTIRE class yesterday NOT do their homework. When I told them like 100 times to do it.
Also because it's end of quarter and they're all like OH SHIT I'M FAILING MAYBE I SHOULD FINALLY TURN MY WORK FROM 2 MONTHS AGO IN! At least they know they're only going to get half credit for it.
I didn't know this. I almost never take mine off. I do take it in a couple times a year to get looked at/cleaned though...
Do they do this for free? I need to get my ring cleaned and have the prongs checked but I don't know the drill. It was made by an independent jeweler who isn't located here, so I can't bring it to her. And I didn't buy it at a specific jewelry store, so I feel weird just bringing something to a random jeweler and asking if they can clean my ring. How is this supposed to work?
Mine does as a courtesy or for a small fee. I just checked and one of my stones is loose so I'll go this weekend to have it adjusted and they'll probably clean it as well.

Either way they're twats.
We tried pulling that shit once in high school. The teacher gave us an insane writing assignment that we had to do in class. It was awful.
When I was in middle school if we got in trouble our teacher would make us copy the dictionary for the rest of the day.

It's a bit different since we already have one, because they're always like "you need another one!11elventy!" But people definitely asked us that before too. We just sort of shrugged it off.

Mine does it for free. My ring is my mother-in-law's original engagement ring and wasn't purchased there. It's a small locally owned business, but it is where we go for watch batteries, jewelry, and all that stuff. So I guess he does it a courtesy. I'm sure most places probably don't charge all that much to do it... (I feel like I wasn't very helpful...)

Oh, I told them if it happens again they were getting zeros and wouldn't be able to make it up. They had FOUR DAYS to do this assignment. FOUR. I was FUMING. Zeros demolish your average so punishment enough for me.

Mine does it for free, but they won't do the appraisal since we didn't buy them from them. They do have someone they refer people to, tough.
It is white gold. Apparently it has something to do with the mercury content- or so I've heard.
Maybe I'll try getting it dipped. It has only happened since I had my kids. I wonder if I developed an allergy as well!?
This is pretty common with white gold rings - but it's often not the white gold that people are sensitive to, but nickel. Nickel is in most white gold jewelry (though I know some places are starting to phase out the nickel alloy in favor of palladium due to the large number of people sensitive to nickel). It could also be dermatitis from moisture under the ring (I get this from my non-white gold ring sometime).
Yes! I have a nickel sensitivity and my ring begins to itch when my ring needs to be re-dipped. White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one other white metal (nickel, palladium, etc). Then the whole thing is plated (dipped) in rhodium for durability. After a few years (or less, depending on the acidity of your skin and how often you handle chemicals, etc) white gold has to be replated with the rhodium or the gold and white metal will come in contact with your skin.

My schedule is my twatwaffle. I work a 12-hr shift tonight (7p-7a) then I have an interview for my dream job tomorrow at noon. That was the best time they could get me in for the interview and I was already scheduled to work the night before at my current job. I'm just praying I don't say something stupid from lack of sleep and blow the interview.
Worst part of all is that I'm per diem at my current job and the only reason I scheduled myself part-time hours again was so that I could get the health insurance that the RE accepts. Well, my manager went back on her word so I scheduled my hours for nothing. I'm just so pissed to even be there right now. Basically, I'm working the hours that qualify for benefits but they won't give them to me.
@emilie818 - my ring is from a "chain" jeweler (Harry Ritchie's) and my warranty covers pretty much everything, so long as I have an inspection done 2x a year. But since they recently closed the one close to me and the next closest is a 90 minute drive, I've been taking it to a local place that does cleaning and inspections for free. They even fixed a bent prong for me at no charge. So it's worth a shot to call a few places and ask them what their price is for something like that.
I know a few of the independent jewelers around here do the small stuff like that for free to build loyalty.
My nanny knows we are trying to have another baby and I'm pretty open with her about my treatments because she's the only "friend" I have down here. Plus I have to drop off DD at her house every time I go to the RE so things eventually come out. We were talking about my old boss having IUI done, who is 38. She said, "Isn't she too old to be even having children?" And I said, "She's 38." And then she said "Yeah, that is waaaayy too old. I can't even imagine having more kids at my age." SHE JUST FUCKING TURNED 34 LAST WEEKEND! I said that she's not even considered advanced maternal age and that I planned on having kids up until 40 if that's what it took to get me the family I dreamed of. She looked at me like I was out of my damn mind. I am so angry at her.
ETA she had her kids at 19, 21, and 23.
I would not have been able to restrain myself from saying, "Well, I can't imagine having a child as a teenager - waaaaaaaaay too young! Luckily we aren't constrained by other people's narrow-minded imaginations, amirite?" Or maybe, "Yeah, I guess you could be a GRANDMOTHER at 38, right??" UGH.
