etsy? My H loses collar stays all the time, so I get him some new ones regularly as a joke. I haven't done any new ones lately because I got both the clean and naughty versions on redenvelope.com
When I was in 6th grade I had a black pleather skirt that zipped up the front. I use to hide it in my backpack and changr on the bus on the way to school. Sadly, that was probably the most rebellious thing I have done in my life.
Speaking of taking things literally. When I was young, i thought relief was spelled R-O-L-A-I-D-S. I thought this for way too long given my spelling abilities.

Lol, you edited. I wasn't sure if that was part of the joke
But I lost my underwear at Crossfit earlier this week. I changed in the ladies restroom and I didn't wear them to workout. They were not in my bag when I got home and started doing laundry. They were granny panties.

I thought Juicy Fruit gum would literally move me. "The taste-the taste-the taste is gonna MOO-oove you!"
I begged my mom to buy me a pack, and on the way out of the store I stopped in my tracks and popped a stick in my mouth. The taste did not move me.
Random confession: I want to download and play with the Tinder app. It sounds like fun what with the swiping if a guy is hot and vice versa. I am perfectly happy in my marriage and have no interest in cheating.
There are posters that I'm positive hate me solely because they never like anything I say. lol
ETA oh and I also am afraid of people being creeped out by me liking their stuff so I do the like and avoid cycle too.
This makes me feel like I am supposed to be paying more attention to who likes and does not like my posts. I, mean, I am pleased on some level if a bunch of people like something I say, but I don't keep track of who likes what or how much. This combined with the posts where people report feeling judged for things I have never felt judged for makes me think I am hopelessly oblivious and/or socially inept.
I know I should be all "cook baby cook!" but now that I've hit 37 weeks, I'm kind of ready for this baby to get here already. I'd be completely fine if I went into labor tonight.
Plus ever since I found out my due date I worried about having DS right around when my niece was born on the 24th. I just know it's going to happen because I turn 38 weeks on the 21st and doc said last week that he wouldn't let me go past 38. And I don't care about the date because "ZOMG DS needs his special day!" It's because I don't want to stress every year wondering when B/SIL are having niece's birthday party and figuring out who gets what weekend since they live in a different city and there will be travel required for my mom to attend niece's party. It would be easier if they were at least a week apart so there was a "natural" best weekend for each and not overlap.
But it's completely out of my hands, so I just wait...

I often don't like posts because by the time I get a chance to like it, the post is hours old. I will like some things way after the fact, but sometimes wonder if people think that is weird.
I'll go one further - I side eye gestating a baby just to have it die minutes (?) after birth rather than taking the more humane, IMO, route of termination.
Oh, I do too, but I admit that's from my own (godless) point of view and experience. The friend who posted this is Mormon, and I'm kind of assuming this family is, so I "get" that they don't see that as an option.
wow ... you would side-eyed them? instead of feeling sorrow and compassion from them? some people do not believe they have the right to stop the beating heart of another person.

My nephew's birthday is the day before DS1's (fun fact: I went into labor at 38 weeks at his party) and it's annoying to plan around SIL. Can't flame you.
But we can get away with one in-law dinner to celebrate both, so that's a plus
I totally overthink likes. Totally. In HDBD I'll want to like a post but then I think people will notice I liked one post but not the others. So then I think I'll like them all... But then I worry about hurting the feelings of the people who post after me. So, usually I end up not liking anything.
Apparently I'm a narcissist who thinks all of you notice wtf I do.
Likes: I am aware of when I'm over-liking someone's posts, but don't care. I like what I like, damn it.
Sometimes I do like things just because I don't want anyone to feel left out. So if I ask for advice, I'll like the first few replies, and then feel like I need to like either all or none of the replies after that.
Similarly, I don't like when I answer someone's question and don't get a like, but someone who gave basically the same answer after me does get a like. I'm petty and I notice. Even worse if the OP quotes or tags that person specifically to thank them. (I don't hold grudges because there's not enough room in my brain for that stuff, but I do notice in the moment.)

And I am very pro-choice and would terminate a pregnancy if I were presented with a diagnosis like anencephaly (which is what the fetus in my OP had; mistaken diagnosis of that is pretty impossible) that is wholly incompatible with life. I do not think it's compassionate to continue that pregnancy, but I understand others have different viewpoints on the matter. I don't have to agree to have sorrow for their situation.

Me, too
In general, though, I tend to err on the side of over-liking.

I don't side eye people for either choosing to terminate or choosing to carry on with the pregnancy. I've taken care of patients who have done both. I just can't see judging either decision, because that is hard as hell and I honestly have no idea what I would do in that situation.
But I will admit that I judge people who think termination should be illegal. And not in a "We have different opinions and I think you might be wrong" kind of way, but in the way that makes it impossible for me to look at them the same way again. And I honestly question their intelligence a little. I don't mean people who say, "Oh well, I don't believe in doing this". Believe what you want. But people who say, "Because I don't believe this, it should be illegal" get a huge side eye from me.
Sometimes I worry that certain posters think I follow them around and like everything they post. I mean, I do follow them around and like everything they post, but it's because I AGREE WITH THEM and I want to be friends with them. Occasionally I'll skip liking their posts for a few days to compensate.
Lol, my confession. I think I'm one of them. Pretty sure you like all my posts haha! Makes me feel loved :-P

Confession: I never "like" anything, so don't be offended. Now I am worried that someone has noticed this.
Confession: I changed careers to get summers off.
So as for those teacher martyrs, I am with ya. I am so sick of the "ohhh but we work soo hard, we deserve the summer off". Yes, many many do work really hard all year. Some of you do not let's face it. Lots of people work 12-14 hour days on a regular basis and do not get paid overtime (i used to be one). So give me a break. Just admit , it is AWESOME to have so much time off. Why all the defensiveness???
ETA "you" above refers to teachers in my school. just so no one flames me i just needed to GET THAT OUT

My husband just told me that my daughter broke her rocking chair last night. He was sad and apologetic, because he thought I would be sad. I am not sad. It was ugly and took up a lot of room. His aunts bought it and made a huge deal about giving it to us. They wanted it to be a heirloom. I an kind of happy it is broken.
I know I should be all "cook baby cook!" but now that I've hit 37 weeks, I'm kind of ready for this baby to get here already. I'd be completely fine if I went into labor tonight.
i'll sit here with you. i know that every extra day inside is good for his development, but at this point whenever someone asks when i'm due i have to refrain from shouting "NOW! ... i mean, technically not for another two and a half weeks, but any second is fine by me."
re: liking posts - i try to be generous with my likes because i feel good when people like my posts. it doesn't really matter who, but it's nice to know someone is reading what i write. i have a complex that i'm sort of invisible (online and in real life) so it's always shocking to me that anyone knows who i am/thinks i have something valuable to contribute.
also, i like having the ability to "like" things long after the conversation has ended without actually commenting and dragging the thread to the top of the board again.
