If there was a rando thrown in there, then I don't remember it after I wake up. I know it's weird, huh?
I don't know if it's weird. I know my BF had one about her ex boyfriend last week, which is weird because she said even when she was with him she wasn't attracted to him. Then she woke up sweating next to her H lol
Anyone else have sex dreams? With or with SO?
I have more sex dreams during pregnancy than the rest of the time (although they haven't yet started this time). They are always with H, and I've always thought that makes me slightly boring :-)
I hate the board/sub board thing. Totally support having a private board, just wish everything was over there. It's a PITA to switch back and forth on mobile and I feel like I end up missing a lot. Not sure if this is why I've been participating less or not. I just feel out of the loop all the time and I don't like it.
As a new poster, the division between a public and private board is one thing that made me hesitate jumping in. I think it's hard for newer people to feel like they're really part of the community when there are things happening over there we're not a part of. I understand wanting Internet privacy- that's never a bad thing. It's just a bit of a catch 22 to want to participate enough to get to know everyone well enough to join the private board, and yet there are only a limited amount of threads/discussions over here to be a part of.
I think it's definitely harder to join a new community when you are by definition excluded, at least to start with, from some conversations. I was nervous about jumping in and starting to post, and that was before the private board started.
I do enjoy the more open conversations we have over there, and I think it's important to keep some things on the public board too. It can be a bit annoying, though. There isn't a shortcut from the private board back to the public board on mobile - you have to go to the home page and then click back through. Once or twice I've forgotten that I'm on the private board and completely missed the daily randoms.
The heavy smell of butter/popcorn in movie theater is gross.
I love this smell, but I haven't been to the movies since before I got pregnant. I would much rather watch a movie at home than deal with having to go to the theater. I also can't think of a single movie that I just "had" to see right away. DH went and saw Star Wars with a friend, but I guess my UO is I just don't care that much about 99% of movies. I'd much rather get into a TV show, where you can watch it in 1 hour-ish snippets, and get more invested in the characters, story, etc.
I think the word "uneducated" gets thrown around a lot on TCF, not specifically this board, just in general. Most times "ignorant" would be much more appropriate.
100% agree. Or perhaps "close minded." I think the willingness to see perspectives that you don't immediately see, whether or not you change your mind on your initial perspective, is often at the center calling someone "educated" or not. But a person's level of education often has nothing to do with how "smart" they are. Some of the people in my life with the least amount of formal education are the smartest people I know, and vice versa.
I don't like Amy Schumer. I don't think she is funny and she looks like a cabbage patch doll and it freaks me out.
I didn't like amy schumer until I watched her movie. Have you seen trainwreck?
Train Wreck was the reason I stopped liking her. I just wanted to reach into the screen and smack the shit out of her the whole time. I thought she was just pathetic and not at all funny. Now all i can see in her is that character.
UO: I hate microwaves. I don't like the way food tastes when cooked in them and frankly (tinfoil hat FFFC) I just don't trust that radiating our food is a good idea. We don't own one.

Also I can't even picture my husband in a strip club, he would be so awkward! He dreaded that his best man was going to pull some shit at his bachelor party and there would be strippers (it didn't happen). But he definitely watches porn without me and I don't mind.
Oh yeah, sex dreams. Have them several times a year. Sometimes with DH. Sometimes with DH but he looks totally different. Sometimes with random dudes. And nothing pisses me off more than when i wake up from a good sex dream before I'm finished.
Andplusalso Amy Schumer: related to her body shaming, plus size critic comments earlier this week...
I dont believe for a fraction of a second that she is a size 6 like she claimed to be. I'm two inches taller than her and weigh five pounds less (so slightly more streched out and smaller frame) and I'm a solid size 10. I couldn't care less what size she actually is and hate that she takes so much shit for being "fat," when she so isn't and is totally all awesome woman. But the point is, if you are going to portray that you are a champion for all of us loving our bodies just the way we are and respecting each other, at least be honest about your own
I hate people throwing out "uneducated" at others. I find it so degrading and offensive. It's up there right beside "see you next Tuesday" for me.
There is an appropriate time and place for this one to be thrown out. But some of the smartest people i know have high school educations and some of the stupidest assholes i know have advanced ivy leage degress so yeah, assuming someone isnt as formally educated as you are and, therefore, they are just wrong is mostly a pretentious dick move.
I also think there is a difference between social intelligence (i.e. Ability to bring people together, diplomacy, kindness) creative intelligence and intellectual intelligence. My brother is extremely intelligent as far as vocabulary, computer programming etc, but he isn't as gifted socially. I also worked with creative designers that could draw the most beautiful piece of artwork but they had poor communication skills.

I mean, everyone is uneducated about many things. For example, I am uneducated about economics. I am also ignorant of many of the struggles faced by minority populations, because I'm just a boring white girl. So, I would not find it offensive if someone called me out for saying something incorrect about either of those topics.
I totally agree with you though when someone throws it out about something you are, in fact, knowledgeable about and they're just trying to imply that if you actually knew about it, you would OF COURSE come to their OBVIOUSLY correct opinion. That makes me ragey.

Yes. That fills me with rage.
There was one memorable occasion last pregnancy when my dream ended in the right way just as the alarm clock went off. H didn't know what had hit him that morning. He still talks about it sometimes.
UO: I think it's dumb that people who have the title of Doctor use that title in their personal life. I don't get why this single title has been chosen to carry over outside of a professional context. And I see zero difference between an MD or Ph.D. for this. All the respect for the insane amount of school for any of them, but if I'm addressing a formal invitation for you to attend my wedding, I'm using Mrs. because I'm not expecting you to perform any medical services there.
Yes! We have several patients that are either MD's or PhD's. The PhD's are the ones who point out the fact to us and want us to refer to them as Dr. Imapretentiousass. Most of the MD's would rather us refer to them as Mr. or Mrs.
ETA: I'm not saying these people aren't deserving or haven't earned their title. Its just in my personal experience that the PhD's tend to point it out more.

Agreed. I feel the same about military people who expect civilians to refer to them by rank. Um, thank you for your service, for real and sincerely, byt I'm not under your command so, no, I am not going to refer to you as *insert rank here.* My father was a Corenel ( seriously i cannot spell this word to save my life. ) in the Air Force but away from work and out of uniform he was Mr. Last name to everyone, even other military people. He never would have expected anyone to refer to him by rank except when on duty.
I don't like how Netflix is organized. They need a creative director (i.e. me) and I will organized the shit out of that.
Right now it's like they just plop in whatever movie. I wish it was visually presented more like blockbuster was where you have new releases aka actual new releases not a 10 yr old movie Netflix just received the contract to show. Then a sub header of comedy only, drama only, horror etc.
I know you posted this like a zillion hours ago, but OMG yes! I HATE how Netflix is organized. I've realized there is a lot of content that I'm missing out on because of the way it's set up.
Do we have any MD's or Ph.D's who care to weigh in? Doesn't carolyngrace have a Ph.D? Is my memory faulty? It's quite possible.
I'm a JD, which is a doctoral level degree. We are the only doctoral level degree that I am aware of that doesn't go by Doctor. Not that I want to be called that, even if we did. I also don't want to be called counselor outside of work nor would I ever include Esquire after my name on anything that isn't work related. The fact that I busted my ass in law school doesn't mean people need to bow down to me by acknowledging my accomplishment in every day life and I don't see why I would go out of my way to point it out.
On a similar note, i would never say "your honor" to a judge unless we are in court and on the record but if I run into a judicial officer outside of work I do address or introduce them as Judge or Magistrae soandso. But if I were a judge I wouldn't expect everyone to acknowledge my job that way all the time, especially non attorneys.
I have never experienced anyone correcting me if I don't call them by the title they prefer, so perhaps I am biased here. I can see how it would seem annoying and pretentious if someone were to correct me, but at the same time I understand that their title is important to them.
This is where I'm at too. To be honest, I love my dr, she delivered me so she literally knows every medical thing about me and my kids. Sometimes H refers to her first name in conversation and I correct him like 'no!! She's doctor!" She's so nice and laid back I don't think if she ever heard him say that that she'd even correct it herself, lol.
ETA- on the flip slide, one of H's best friends is now a doctor, and yea it would be really weird if he started wanting us to call him Dr. Last name. So I guess I do get it and I just never really thought about it.

I have never had anyone correct me in the way I address them. However, in professional situations I always call them by their title, but I think that is pretty common.
I was a TA in college and in one of the labs there was a kid that kept calling the professor Mr. Professor, not Dr or Professor. It always struck me as kind of odd, and one time the professor corrected him, and it was a little awkward.
ETA: I know there are some professors that aren't Dr's, but those were few and far between and not in our department.

When I have sex dreams I always wake up while having an O.
My FM has a Ph.D. And I've never heard her refer to herself as Dr. T always Mrs or her first name. I think she only uses it at work but she is the CEO of her company and her email signature for work.
In the context of the classroom a PhD should absutely, positively be refered to as Doctor. I'm shocked people would err on the side of calling their prof Mr. or Ms.
H and I tried watching Trainwreck last weekend. We turned it off halfway through.
I would never watch this movie w H. It's more a movie you watch with a bunch of girls. It's like trying to watch clueless or gossip girl with H. Nope nope nope.
UO: I hate microwaves. I don't like the way food tastes when cooked in them and frankly (tinfoil hat FFFC) I just don't trust that radiating our food is a good idea. We don't own one.
The moon landing didn't happen and you don't trust microwaves.....
