When I post asking for advice I always want to tag the end of the entry with offensive remarks to weed out the bad advice.

"I need new makeup - please post a picture of your makeup with your reply so I know you don't look like an uggo or a clown"
"I'm having an issue with my diet - no goddamn vegans or raw foodists, you're going to tell me to switch to your diet, and I have no interest in that"
"I need a new moisturizer - please only reply if you don't have nasty fried hair. Oh, you probably won't know if you do... so post pic with reply, please"
"Looking for plastic surgeon - please don't reply if you haven't actually ever HAD work done because you don't REALLY know the doctor is amazing, you dumb bitch... also... please post before and after pictures of your work so I know it's ACTUALLY good and not just what you THINK is good."

LOLOLOL

I also want to include a disclaimer of "no, I'm not retarded, so yes, I already tried super obvious stuff."

That doesn't even work.

"Oh yeah, and I already tried unscrewing this screw, it's stuck, I can't get it undone"
"Did you try a screw driver?"
"Yes... I tried a screw driver. Clearly it didn't work."
"No, but I mean... did you try TURNING IT?"
"...Yeah. I tried turning it."
"Counter clockwise?"
"...Yes, that's how you unscrew things, and therefore, how I attempted to turn it."
"But is it a flathead or a phillips?"
"It's a flathead, and YES that's the screw driver I used."
"Okay, but did you put the flathead so that it was in the GROOVE of the screw?"

I hate it when people completely misunderstand what I'm trying to say and jump in to correct me on something I wasn't even saying.

Me: did you know there are loads of trail runs here?
Friend: oh you don't want to be doing that at first, start with something easy first
Me: no, I didn't mean I want to do them, I just found it interesting, I mean, do they run to the top if the mountain and then along? Or do they take a lift up and run along and down?
Friend: no I think you should run from here down to another town.
Me: no, I'm not talking about me doing anything! I'm just curious about how other people run. Aaaaaargh!

That happened to me about an hour ago, and not the first time today!

OMG I love you. I'm seriously LOLing so hard and remembering a thousand threads that looked exactly like this.

I seriously had one of my threads turn into that... so I had to change my first post to be like "I'M NOT FUCKING LOOKING FOR ADVICE I'VE ALREADY TRIED, ASSHOLES"



I mean, do they run to the top if the mountain and then along? Or do they take a lift up and run along and down?
If you never got a straight answer... usually up along and then back down. ;D

OMG, I'm guilty of bouncing around like a loon w/ a broom to Aqua's "Candyman" in my kitchen. I love the 90's music far more then the "now".
Heck, i heard Usher's "My Way" and about peed myself with giddy... it was the 1st song i ever choreographed in middle school and i still remember it.

I have pretty crappy music taste - I tend to like stuff everyone else regards to as shit. But I LOVE me some Britney too!

I would like to see you dancing your ass around to some Toxic....;)

I'm a horrible dancer. Super awkward. All I know is how to wiggle my ass a bit. But if it pleases you, if you guys come here for a vacation one day, I'll shake my ass for all (dozen pounds) it's worth! ;)

Update to my medical bill woes... I applied for financial assistance and just got a letter saying they are taking care of 100% and I don't have to pay anything. Which is FANTASTIC! There are a few smaller bills for xrays, ultrasounds, etc that aren't billed directly by the hospital, but hey. That's $5.2k I don't have to pay :)

Possibly reflecting the changes the industry itself has been going through. Tons of competition = bitchiness. Insecurities lead to people feeling like they need to prove themselves by quoting how much they make, crap they've bought, etc.

Im at the end of my exam period for this semester. Last exam tomorrow and its been so brutal Im at breaking point. I feel like I have nothing left to give. I only need 15% to pass my exam tomorrow and I dont even think I can get that. Its like my brain has completely shut down and refuses to cooperate. Ive literally done nothing but study 16 hrs a day for the last 16 days straight. I cant do another hour but I somehow have to get through this. :(

Grrr I hate my stupid bitch of a housemate so much. So much to go into but she's finally moving out on July 29 and it could not come faster. So nervous though she's going to leave and take all my stuff (or out joint stuff) and I'll come home and be left with nothing. I just want my washing machine :(

try being there when she leaves or having someone else there. and maby make a list before hand! and write your name in big letters on your stuff in case she *forgets* this is very shitty. just be there with another friend when she moves out so she doesn't try to pull anything.

Awww thanks :) Its in Veterinary Genetics which is actually a relatively easy course but Ive just run out of steam for this exam block. The first 6 exams we had were killers and too drained to care now, but I dont wanna fail!

Good luck with yours girlie! At least we will both be relaxing tonight. I plan on having my first drink at 11.05am. :D

I hate my SO.
I know everyone hates or dislikes there SO at some point cause heck no relationship is perfect. But i really just...ugh... I secretly wish his ex girlfriend would come and "steal him away". Its bad enough i have to friends with that jesus freak on FB {my SO is too}.

He sits and plays battlefield all night, gets all "pissy" and into it {me man. me shoot fake ppl.}. Heaven forbid you want to go to bed early. Throws a piss fit over dinner not being a 5 star meal and heck if its late.
He says we can't afford a dog, but goes out and buys boots for himself that are like $100. What do i get? A long over due $20 haircut. Fair?
Goes to airsoft events 2 times a month but throws a "well we can't afford it" every time i try find my own hobby. Tells me to stop looking at MFC {guilty pleasure} and makes fun of this site. Comes home and doesn't even play with his daughter {reddit and his laptop are more important} . His dad acts like he owns this place and comes over whenever he feels like it {not ever phone call first}.
Wow... I really need to start considering things. Times like these i could use a female friend!

Do you feel hatred towards him a lot, or just on occasion? If you've tried talking to him about how he makes you feel, then itcould be time to put pen to paper and weigh up the pros and cons of your relationship...?

Honestly, a lot.
Like when i know he's coming home my stress level goes insane. I do everything i can to avoid him when he's home cause he just annoys me to no end. I'm only happy when its me and my daughter during the day. His days off are something i've come to dread.

Like today, i've been dog sitting my parent's dogs for a week while there on vacation {here at our house}. Of course the house is gonna start smelling like dog and it might get a little more messy then usual. I was planning on waiting until they were picked up today to start cleaning up room by room at a nice even pace. But this morning he goes:
"When i come home i'm gonna clean...*sigh*...UNLESS YOU can do the WHOLE house yourself...that would fantastic!"
Like seriously? Since when did i sign up for slavery?
Bitches about having to do yard work. Well YOU bought the house with 2 lot yard. Shut up and just do it. Half the time your parents do shit for you anyway spoiled ass brat!
Oh and cause he's LETTING me get a haircut i apparently owe him a backrub..... ::)
{Mind you i'm paying for HALF of it out my own money that i've had since X-mas.}

So yeah, that list....being written today. I do better when it written then out of head. {I have a horrible temper}

I have to put in my two cents.. I think its time to start saving up and get rid of him. And get yourself a dog.. If hes going to be pissy about you being one minute late in cleaning I say give him a real reason to be pissy. (and I hope it pisses on the game cords)

Umm, yeah. That guy sounds like a creepy controlling jerk. Hopefully writing it all out has helped you realize you deserve way better.

However, please don't get a dog until you are in a more stable happy situation. An innocent animal doesn't deserve to be brought into a stressful unstable house. Also, if you can't afford a haircut you can't afford a dog, sorry. For example, a week after getting my puppy, she cost me an unexpected $300 when she sliced her leg open. These things happen.

Sorry for the rant, but I also like animals more than most people.

Totally get what your saying about the dog. I know it isn't the right time for it, that's just animal lover xtreme me talking there. The whole 'dog watching" week i just had made me all bratty and wanting one of my own you know. It was nice to have a companion and protector. But i'll keeping waiting and take all my fluffy love on my parent's dogs. lol.

awww sorry you are going through this situation. This is why I dont think women should rely on their SOs for income. Is there a way you can stash away some money for yourself? Financial control is terrible. I saw my mom go through it my whole life until only a few years ago she started her own bank account my dad cant touch. Even though only a small amount goes in each month (prob less than $200) its enough to give her that little independence she wanted all these years. Dad objected at first but think he forgot about it after a few months. It wasnt a leaving fund just a rainy day fund so if she wants to get a $200 hair cut or buy new dress or shoes she can.

Ironically its how my parents are too. My parents are very well off, thanks to my dads working, so my mom has lived super comfy for like ever. She got money from him and all but hated it. When i left home and had my own life she went out and got a job. That taste of independence forever changed her. She treated herself to Victoria Secrets like almost weekly and all that. Sadly she had to stop working due to her bad wrist, which stops her from lifting and doing heavy work. {She did elerly care}. Her soul was crushed and she is still miserable about it. She hates asking my dad for money cause its degrading. I agree. I hate having to "earn" a haircut every half a year or get new underwear cause he finally noticed i've worn them to death. Comfort and dependency is a double sworded bitch. I keep telling myself to cam again cause having that $100+ of my own {that he had no idea bout} was wonderful. Not having to wait until my birthday or holiday to hope for my own cash. So i keep toying with the idea...:thinking:

I confess:

I drank about a fourth of a beer...just because I felt I kinda deserved it, but it wasn't anything how I thought it would be and I just dumped the rest. In fact, it made me feel kinda guilty.

(I had already pumped before....so no worries there....plus, I'm supplementing with formula. Not strictly breast milk...just before anyone says anything about alcohol and nursing..lol)

but yeah....flushing it out with water. I feel more guilty about drinking that little bit of beer than about eating that box of cookies yesterday!

Just because I'm so eager to get a hot body, and beer is the last thing I need if I wanna reach my goal. I will wait until I go back to work before I have a celebratory drink. :)

I don't think you are mean at all, but yes there are some vicious people here. In fact there is one poster I've gotten into some nasty mud slinging with and it's a woman. Generally the really nasty posters avoid me and I avoid them.

I also confess that I'm not impressed with my husband as a new daddy again. He just barely changed his first diaper...after a week!
and my 30 pills, GONE, because of him....because of his "boredom at work".... :/
Then him sleeping until noon today while I'm up doing laundry, getting my boys ready, I'm trying to get ready, making breakfast, cleaning, ahaslkdfhjaskldfhjzals;dfhgaklsf....AHHHHALSDFJASL KDFJ...grrrr
I'm doing my hour of cam right now, and all he's doing is just trying to get Kane to sleep so he can take a nap...when he needs to just be with him...hanging out, walking around, showing him stuff, playing with him, talking to him..not shoving a bottle in his mouth to try to get him to sleep. He'll sleep when he's tired!!! alksdfjasdklf [email protected]

Avery, if I may ask, are you pumping instead of breastfeeding from the breasts? I ask because I discussed this recently with a relative. They just had a baby and felt funny about breastfeeding so instead they pump exclusively. This is something I would consider because it's convenient like formula but free like breast milk. She was going back to work right away and she wanted dad to feed since he would be staying at home.

I am just pumping. Only because that way I can actually SEE how much milk he's getting. I did breastfeed in the hospital, but I just didn't feel like he was getting enough. When I pump, I can only pump about 2oz total each time. I try to pump every 3 hours, but it ends up only being about 2 bottles a day I can make. :-\

I know it's not much, but at least he is getting some breast milk. I think the more I do it, the more I'll be able to produce. :)

So, for now, he's getting his 6-8oz of breast milk a day plus formula. :)

I confess I am in the mood to piss people off.. Most of the time I'm polite as I can be but today I really want to piss someone off.. I really want to piss off one certain person today.. I might even branch it out to a whole month.. Its not like I'm dancing right now.. I have too many other things to get done.. and I have a month to do it.. I really want to really piss him off to the point he moves on and find some other girl to try to control cause I will have none of that. Damn I'm even back to my mixed accent cause I want to be able to get things done.

That sounds exactly the way I think I would do it. Hard for me to say for sure, not being a mother, but sounds very reasonable. I was reading about this online and some mothers were complaining about women who pump. I thought that was silly because at least the baby is getting breast milk, who cares if it comes from the breast or a bottle?

I've seen these posts too on some of the baby forums.

The way I look at it, there is always going to be something I do that SOMEONE doesn't agree with. I can't, don't and won't please everyone.
(Whether it's my tattoos, my job, how my kids get fed, etc...)
The only ones I care about making happy are my family.
and they love me and appreciate me regardless of how they get their food..lol
At the end of the day my kids are healthy, happy, loved, cared for and FED! :)(Whether it's from a bottle or a tit, formula or breast milk)

and the quote, "The people that mind don't matter and the people that matter don't mind" will always be one of my favorites because it's exactly how I feel about situations like that. :)

Best attitude to have and I wish others felt that way also. As long as your kids are taken care of that's all that matters. Many people my age were bottlefed, including me and most turned out fine.

Congrats on your new bundle of joy! :)

I always think it's asinine that complete strangers have the balls to tell you what is right and wrong, when it's not even their fucking kid. WHO GIVES A FUCK IF IT'S NOT YOUR KID?! Seriously.

^Well, it takes a village to raise a child.

But I get what you're saying. Backseat parenting is not cool. Plus I have no doubt that Avery is an amazing mother. It's clear from all her posts that she's truly devoted to her children and their wellbeing and happiness.

I'll probably end up bottle feeding my kids. If I ever have any. Adoption and such.

Anyway, I want (in this order):
-Olive Garden
-Ruby Tuesdays
-Red Lobster
-Chili's
-TGI-Fridays

I miss Large-chain American restaurants.

I read this and in my mind the following things immediately came up as things I want:
- Olive Garden breadsticks and dressing-less salad
- Caraba's spicy chicken whatever the fuck it's called soup and their desert that's like... a bowl of ice cream with caramel sauce and cinnamon something or other pecans on top
- Chili's Salmon with rice (with GODDAMN CORN IN IT!!!)
- Outback's AMAZING bread!!!
- Texas Roudhouse's New York strip steak...
- McDonald's chicken nuggets and fries with an orange soda and a butterfinger McFlurry to dip the nuggets and fries in
and finally
- Wing Stop's garlic parmasean boneless wings with french fries and hot cheddar cheese sauce.


Holy shit. Need to go grab some carrots or something to chew on and keep me busy!!!
