Thanks. I only went on that one night and it was all voice chat. I'm usually sitting on the couch with H watching TV so talking would be awkward. I'll try to sign in tonight!

Just let people in chat know you don't have sound and then we will know to keep an eye on the text chat too :-)
I'll try. MH was in a nasty mood this morning so I should probably smooth that over. He's iirrationally angry about me throwing paper clippings on top of him last night. It's his own fault for starting it.
Was it in a "omg confetti!!" Or "making it rain" sort of method?
Actually it doesn't matter, it's funny either way. Tell him to stop being a woman.
I clip several newspapers worth of coupons each week. This results in a large pile of paper clippings. He hates when I do it because the cat likes to spread them around the house. It saves us alot of money; but he never helps me, so too bad for him. He made the mistake of throwing a piece or two at me first. So I took a bunch and started throwing it at him until he got pissed and stormed off to bed. I'm sure he's got a laundry list of things that explain why he's really "mad" at me. Unfortunately for him, CD 1 started today after faking me out yesterday, so I really don't give a fuck.

OK, legit question: are we (collective we) mad at the BFP because: 1) she's "shocked" 2) she posted on the main board instead of TWW 3) she expects love 4) she's a relative newb 5) she got KU on cycle 2?
Legitimately asking. I post in all the threads (except drinking cuz I only log on during my daytime), so if I got KU I'd want to post on the main board so my WTDS/GOT/randomz people would see, but even though I followed that Direction of the Forum thread, there was no clear answer.

Customer service people are very under appreciated. I don't think I could handle that, I like being able to pass off annoying and angry customers to other people. We had a girl come in yesterday that I wanted to slap. Here's pretty much what went down.
Costumer comes up to the register "do you guys measure people for dresses here?"
Me: No but if your not sure of your size start with your pant size and go up or down from there"
Her: Confused stare " um ok"
Me: What size pant do you wear?
Her: um im usually a size 6
Me: "Ok so start there and then go up a size if its too small or down if its too big. But every dress is going to fit a little differently because each designer uses different patterns for each dress so you just have to try on different styles" Im doubting shes a six because she looks really small.
Her: "Umm Ok"
Me: You look a little confused still what I mean is if a size 6 is to big try a size down
Her: Yeah I get it but that's just hard to do for a dress im ordering
at this point I come from behind the counter because she's need more than just passing help, after about five minuets of conversation, Im thinking somethings fishy about this and we finally get the the core problem.
Me: what does the dress look like, maybe we can find it here in the store? ( I assume she found it online)
Her: it's a mermaid style... um kinda tight on top with a fluffy bottom, kinda
Me: What kind of fabric is it?
Her: Im not sure I wish I had my phone so I could show you the picture.
Me: Is it one of our dresses?
Her: No
SERIOUSLY!!! Are you frigging kidding me? Why the fuck are you here?!?!?! I helped her find to dresses in a 0 and a 2 in different fabrics and make sure to tell her our sizes will not be the same as the online one she found and to buy a measuring tape and measure herself according to the website directions since most online dress stores will give a diagram for that kind of thing. But seriously I really just wanted to say get the fuck out.
Fuck! People are so stupid.
At least I get to hide my eye rolls behind a phone. Also the mute button is my best friend when they constantly ramble on and on.

All of the above and also I am fucking sick of it.
If I hear one more person who is actively trying to conceive post an OMG I cant believe it BFP I am going to GBCGKU
Also, I would think you could do a main board post and receive genuine happiness from the board in general as you are an active member outside the WTO/TWW threads and have taken the time to get to know people.

Exactly! What the fuck are they expecting? To have an alien burst out of their chest?! You had unprotected sex so therefore you could possibly get pregnant. Not rocket science people.

I would say her number 1 mistake was that no one knows who she is. We have had people post main board BFP's after 1 month being here. But they were very active members of the community that posted all over the place, got to know everyone and gave support where they could. If you follow those guidelines (give support to get support) and you think people will ask where you are if you disappear, then usually it's a safe bet that you can post a main board one. Just watch what you say, I'm happy when I see BFPs, especially from people I've come to love, but they still hurt. Insensitive things like being "shocked" after two months TTC and "knowing youre about to be flooded with genuine happiness" are going to run people the wrong way.
I would say you're safe to post a main one. You're very active and we've all gotten to know you :-)

Exactly! And now that grads are more welcome to post than they were on TD, I don't think there is as much that factor of "will my absence be noticed" since they are encouraged to continue posting. But I have weird feels on this topic. I didn't post a main board BFP either time. After my first CP I posted my loss on the main board, honestly the support I got from that was a million times more meaningful than the love-tits I collected from a BFP post would have been.
July 2013 started TTC 7/20/2014=BFP; CP confirmed 8/1/2014 Dec 2014: Diagnosis = Unexplained IF 12/24/2014 Medicated TI (clomid)=BFN 1/22/2015: IUI #1 cancelled due to cyst 02/17/2015: IUI #2 cancelled due to another cyst 3/31/2015: IUI with Femera, 1 good follie, great sperm count = CP, my December Rainbow became an Angel
All of the above and also I am fucking sick of it.

ETA: that reminded me of this and made me laugh so I thought I would share.
I know everyone is excited to hear this - I set up chat on my computer Saturday night (no one was on) but I'll try to join the party if I get some time.

@wallflwr926, I love your confetti/coupon throwing story so much, but I'm sorry it ended with a grumpy husband. I hope it's smoothed over tonight. Maybe you should just tape all the little pieces back together and give them to him. That would probably definitely help and not be passive aggressive at all. The whole mental scene just makes me giggle a lot.
@ismellbooks, a mouth paper cut sounds like the WORST.
One time MH was jokingly pretending to put his belly button lint in my face. A few minutes later, I felt something on my tongue and SOMEHOW IT ENDED UP ON MY TONGUE. I was laughing so hard/so grossed out that I threw up. It's one of MH's favorite stories to tell about "us". Sweet, right?

Now I'm going to be pissed if I don't get a velociraptor.
