In college, I once fell out of my friend's above ground swimming pool while playing drunk volleyball. The whole right side of my body hurt for 2 weeks.
I quit smoking when we went through fertility treatments and all through my pregnancy, so I had quit for over 2 years. I have the occasional smoke now that I've had her, like 4 or 5 a week.
DH keeps on talking about how he wants to milk me during sex, as in actually get milk out. I'm extremely grossed out about the whole idea. Last weekend I talked him out of it by shooting milk into his mouth without him actually touching my breasts, because as far as I'm concerned they are still off limits.

Inspired by all the lurker talk: Even though I'm not a lurker and have been around since the great migration, I still feel like a wallflower because I don't post too often during the day (hs teacher woes). So when I do, I'm anxious until someone LTs or replies because I'm worried that you are all like "who's this bish?" It's stupid.

Maybe you should post about whether or not it is appropriation on Parenting... /sarcasm
Ive never ventured over there save a crazy thread or 2. Im going to guess they disapprove?
Someone over there posted about how she wanted to get braids and was worried about offending someone. They jumped all over her and it became an argument about racial sensitivity and the degradation of heritage. It was kind of ridiculous.

It wasn't the OP they jumped on, it was some twat who said something like "no one can own a hairstyle" and that pushed a lot of people's buttons and she just kept digging a deeper hole.
And that's why I teach my students to recognize when they need to stop talking and walk away. I also only vaguely remember the thread because I was reading it during a MOTN wake up.
I'm with you on the dreads. I wish I would have done them in high school before my husband and I started dating because he is not a fan.
My FFFC is a terrible mom moment. We bed share with my son (not in our original plans but here we are) and he is rolling and crawling now. So this morning I woke up to my son crawling around on the floor. I have no idea when he rolled out of bed or how the hell I missed it but it scared the crap out of me. Our bed is only about a foot off the ground but still, I may need to rethink our sleeping arrangements.

Just thought of another FFFC: I'm going to a Pure Romance party on Saturday. I plan on drinking a lot of wine and probably blushing and giggling like a middle school girl a lot.
ooh I have another one: I for the life of me cannot figure out how to copy/paste from my ipad. Said ipad also often causes me to forget that my laptop doesn't have a touch screen.
Dreads.. Meh. Not at all shocking to me. There was a point that I wanted to dread mine too. I might do it someday after I am completely gray because I have every intention of being a long hair, organic tomato growing, pot smoking grandmother.

griffindor24 the visual of your LO just crawling around your room all night is pretty funny but I'm sure it was worrisome!
My FFFC is that I told my sister I was would get her a powerball ticket because she doesn't have it where she lives. She gave me her numbers and wanted me to get a random one as well. I totally spaced getting it until too late. Thankfully none of her numbers matched. Her random one probably would have won though. When she asked if we won, I just told her no. Whoops!
I don't think the dread thread was ridiculous. Just because some don't see how it is offensive doesn't mean it's not. It's like all the offensive/ignorant things I see regarding Native people, it's infuriating to me and my family but a lot of people don't understand why. That doesn't make it less offensive. Even if you're well intentioned - intent versus impact. Dreads are a no.
I didnt see the parenting thread. The stance was same as yours? dreads worn by someone who is not African american is offensive?
griffindor24, DD has fallen off of my bed a few times, LO not yet because I have been more cautious with him. If you didn't hear him cry, the fall couldn't have been too bad. I can only imagine finding him on the floor though. With DD we used bed rails on the bed for a while which was a huge pain in the butt but it mostly stopped her.
Dreads are not even remotely specific to black people and their history. People of all cultures, religions, and races have been wearing dreadlocks for a variety of reasons for thousands of years. Portions of the WHITE ancient Greek population wore them FFS. I am so sick and tired of the tiptoeing around trying not to offend people who are determined to be offended. JFC with the stupidity.

I definitely get the hippie thing. My parents raised me in a very hippie way complete with camping trips in our pop-top VW Bus named "Alice" on the weekends. My mom even went as far as to buy us organic tampons at one point. I'm definitely not quite that extreme but it has certainly carried over into my parenting and preferences.

I'm not sure I'm ready to stop bed sharing so I might be heading out to get bed rails today. Great idea!
I grew up in a small surfing community and dreads on white surfer guys and girls were just common place. That type of hairstyle is just part of the 'look' of the surfing community. Some of the surfers were Pacific Islander w dreads, some white, some African American etc.
One of our old neighbors at our house that we just sold in LA is a white surfer pediatrician with dreadlocks. I didn't think twice about it because again this was just part of the surfer 'style'
