Fall into Randoms Wednesday

[pinkcat]

I do love fall, but I would love it so much more if winter didn't follow. If we could go Fall, Spring, Summer, that would be great.

I am pretending that it is still summer and wearing all of my summer clothes as long as I can. Soon enough I'll be longing for the days where I can wear sandals again- I am in NO rush to get out my boots, coats, scarves, etc. Let me keep wearing dresses to work please and thank you.

I love Daylight Saving Time. I love the sun until 9pm. Yes, please.

Yea that's true. I guess I'm complaining about it ENDING. Technically Nov 1st will be the sending us back to "normal" time but I think they should keep daylight savings all the time!

I love fall!

[singingsea]

I do get bummed out by the lack of daylight. On top of reg depression I get S.A.D.

I swear I need to buy a light box.

I like somethings about fall (piles of leaves to tromp through, the end to the super hot weather) but other things I dislike (everything Joy said).

25 Pictures That Prove Pumpkin Spice Has Gone Too Far

I post this as I eat a pumpkin doughnut.

Doughnuts and cake-y products are totally fine as pumpkin spice, to me. Candles too. Candy. These things make sense.

Do it! We have a happy lamp and it helps.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. If only we actually got to enjoy the cooler weather that is supposed to come with it. We are a well into the 90's over here. DNW to be sweating while putting out my fall decorations.

I have a light-up alarm clock that it's time to start using - it gradually lights up for 30 minutes before my alarm goes off, and it is SO helpful to me to not wake up to pitch darkness.  I also had a blue light that I used to use - it really helped.  Then I lost the charger when I moved

Fall is the gateway to winter. The weather only gets colder, the days only get shorter, the clothes become heavier and everything feels sad because the warmth and sunshine are the furthest away they will ever be. Fall is that gentle bend into sleepy winter. Flowera die, leaves die, and the further we get into it, the more people huddle inside instead of outdoors.

Spring - my favorite time of year - is the exact opposite. Rebirth, beautiful colors, flowers, days getting longer, everything turning greener, warmer weather and basically the world coming alive again. So much anticipation in Spring; so much loss in Fall.

well, I'm suddenly depressed.

I for one like the death and decay that is fall.





Does anyone remember goth talk on snl?

Sure, it can look like that (at its worst).  So can Fall, if we're being honest.  But, Spring can also looks like this:



And yes, Fall is beautiful.  But, the feeling of Fall is just overall sad and empty to me while the feeling of Spring is just hope and renewal.  Of course, you can't have rebirth without death first so I fully understand that we have to get through Fall and Winter.  They have their place.  I just don't like them much.

Gimme all the fall. DNW any more 86 degree days. I'm tired of sweating and ready for pumpkins and football.

Do you guys think it'll be OK to post a rec for a documentary that deals with pregnancy development? I have the thread all written up and ready to post then got worried it might not be the right place. It was just so interesting that I wanted to share.

Here's my theory on this board: We don't have a lot of new members coming in so the people who are still here chatting have all been generally trying a long time. The sensitivity of the board is higher now than it was when we first started or back on TheBump on TTGP.

So, in short - I'm not sure. On TTGP? Absolutely post it. When we first came here? Absolutely post it. Now? I just have no idea.

That's what I was thinking. It's about 50/50 on how it will be received.

I think it would be fascinating to watch but other may think it would be better suited for the pregnancy board.

I agree. That's why I asked. Didn't want anyone to get upset. It was just really fascinating and got into details about genetics and stuff.

Also I love the start of fall. It means my birthday is only a few days away.

I love apple picking more than pumpkin picking. In general, I don't really care for pumpkin. Pumpkin coffee is gross. Pumpkin beer is gross.

And I genuinely fear the development of pumpkin spice tampons.

If anyone is interested:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click here to see more.}It's a BBC documentary called Countdown to Life. It's 3, one-hour episodes. The first two are available to watch now on BBC and YouTube and the last one airs next week.

Can someone please send some beautiful fall weather and everything that goes with it down to Florida? We'll give it right back, I promise!

And I am one of the weird ones that loves standard time. I hate Daylight Savings Time and wish they would get rid of it. I love when it gets dark early and is light earlier in the morning. DNW sunlight at 8pm and darkness at 6:30am.

Did anyone watch Scream Queens last night?

If you did, please explain to me WTF I watched...

I love fall! Granted in the past 6ish years, I've only had fall once. I don't think my new state will have fall like Michigan or Colorado but it will be more then Hawaii!

We have our friend in town that we haven't seen since the last winter, and he'll be staying with us for a few months. The money will help tremendously, but I'm not looking forward to having to make sure I have a bra on at all times.

I'd be very jealous! Most of my summer days were at least 110.

joy I'm watching the Pope leave the White House footage. Making me think of you! Good luck with the Pope visit to your city!

Re: Pope. I'm not Catholic but I just teared up when the security guard grabbed a small child so the Pope could kiss him. I'm not sure why the Pope kissing a child has moved me to tears. *rolling my eyes at myself*

I cried watching him kiss the babies and the little girl too.  The Pope and everyone in the crowd looked so joyful it was hard not to cry!

We didn't get quite that high, but had many high-90/100* days. I was just saying how happy I was that we were only in the mid-80's.  I think today it's even in the 70's. So excited.

I watched it... no idea...it was trying to be weird just for the sake of being weird. And not really funny at all.   I stuck with it to see where it was going, but I don't think I care enough to watch it again.

I did. It was ridiculous and campy which is why I liked it. Do you watch Glee or American Horror Story? It is by the same guys who created those shows. It was like a bizarre hybrid of those two shows.

Ugh. I'd die. We had a handful of days where it was in the 90s but that was it. When I went to college in SC move in day in August was the worst. So damn hot.
