Dammit, too late. I stopped reading to respond. Oh well.
Mine is this- P has been exceptionally clingy and stopped sleeping through the night and rolls his face into the crib bars and only wants me and only me to hold him, feed him, play with him. He will only nap if I hold him. He'll play on his own but he needs to see me or he starts screaming. So trying to clean, cook, or do chores is out unless I haul his play gym into each room since he hates being worn. I get it- he's teething and trying to master new skills and this is totally normal and ok for a 3 month old. But holy fuck has the intensity drained me and I am now counting down the minutes till H gets home so I can be like YOUR TURN and run away. I am just so over it and hope to God this is just a brief phase.
I let my boss know a co-worker left several hours early the other day, without letting anyone know. Granted, he specifically said for us (his next-door cubemates) not to tell the bosses, because he "didn't want them to know and wanted to go hang out with his friends." He has left early at least once a week, which would be fine if he was scheduled to do so, but we aren't really in an environment where people can just leave several hours early on a whim. Really, we are lean on man power as it is, so any time someone leaves early, it really hurts the rest of the team work-wise.

I kind of feel bad, though!
Don't feel bad! He's not getting paid to hang out with friends, he's getting paid to do a job, and if he's not there to do that job, other people (you) have to pick up the slack.

I remember that phase. I did that a lot at the beginning.
"No, you can't stop for gas on your way home. Come get this kid, and do not talk to me, touch me, or breathe in my direction for at least an hour."
Being home with a baby is not easy. I hope this phase passes quickly for you.
There's an intersection in town that always has someone holding a "woe is me/give me $" sign. It's always a different person and it's always the same intersection. It rubs me completely the wrong way. They could legitimately need help, but it reeks of scammy to me. Flameful, I'm sure.
This would freak me out! I would probably mention it in passing to my OB, like "hahaha...ha?" And hope for another u/s.
I would probably be like "um, so, I'm still worried about size" and ask for another ultrasound. I'm not even superstitious, but it would freak me out too.
Thank you!!!! My H is making me feel like a crazy person for being freaked out. I mean, I probably am a crazy person, but it was a real creepy thing for my kid to say!
I understand the hate read. Someone left a creation "science" journal in the conference room (and I'm DYING to know who). I spent most of the afternoon reading and laughing at the pseudoscience and reading about the organization.

Re: hate reading blogs, specifically fundie blogs
One blog mentioned that I read is Rockstar Diaries. Even though they are Mormon, that isn't really the main thing she blogs about. I think she's mentioned it a few times, and it's in her "about me" or whatever section, but she is annoying for many other reasons. I actually started out really enjoying her blog back in like 2008 or something. I guess I think of hate reading blogs as watching a show that's a little eye-rolly or silly and you realize it's ridiculous, but it's still entertaining. Like Dance Moms. Or like how so many people here don't want to unfriend or block ridiculous friends or relatives on FB--for the entertainment value.
Fundie bloggers have to know not everyone will agree with them, and for many of them (to be fair, I don't read very many of them), I think they like that attention because at least it's attention. It's page clicks. It's money in their pocket. If they were really offended by people disagreeing with their beliefs, they wouldn't/shouldn't share them on the world wide web and make a living off sharing their views on their blogs. Now, I'm not saying anyone should go absolutely nuts on someone's blog; in fact, I've never even commented on the blogs I read. But I'm sure many of these bloggers are laughing at the comments all the way to the bank. Good for them for having a lucrative blog; I'm just saying I don't really feel sorry for them.

In Lori's case, she thinks she's being "persecuted for Christ" and she eats that shit up.

Was it Ken Ham?!
You know, aliens are going to hell
No, but their annual meeting is held in conjunction with an Answers in Genesis meeting. Isn't he with them? Man, it's so bad.
Maybe my flameful is that I don't care if this is their religion, I will still mock their "science"

Sure, most of us would. But would you then go out of your way to find more and more of their literature to pour over almost daily just to get yourself riled up over it for funsies? That's the difference.
I generally don't go out of my way, but if something pops up I can't help myself but fall down the rabbit hole a bit.
That is SO tame compared to some of her really repulsive stuff. Like the time she gleefully described her son in law force feeding her granddaughter as she cried unrelentingly with every bite.
Why would you read this? This is not a TV show; these are real people, presumably.
I guess I just don't get the entertainment value here.
I have no good answer for why I do this. It's horrible, I know.

meganew that would freak me out big time! Any chance you're measuring ahead (fundal height)? I was, and they did a growth ultrasound at like 36 weeks to check on size.
I am pretty shallow and I don't volunteer at a homeless shelter. It's amazing I have any friends at all.
Why are you taking everything I say so literally? Lol. I'm sorry my opinion on Kim K is so offensive to some. Yall are so breezy I bet nothing bothers you!
Your Kim K opinion isn't offensive. I don't care who you like. I'm offended by the assumption that I like 50 Shades. Lol.
Disliking someone because you don't like them? I get that. But really when I read that someone doesn't like Kim K (for example) because she doesn't volunteer enough, I just assume that this is just BEC territory.

Oh you didn't! This is one of the most flameful things in here.
Seriously? Its flameful that she told her superiors that her jerkwad coworker has been shirking his job to "go hang out with friends" so that she and the rest of the crew can pick up his slack? LOLNO. Fuck that.
I took a picture of a hem with my phone and made h look at it. We scrumped later that night and I thought if H showed me a butt plum I would not get near his peen for a good while. Men are truly led by their dicks.
My H took a picture of one of mine because I had such horrible pain with it by the end of my pregnancy- he was afraid I had an infection after just looking so I demanded a picture, lol!
Well if that wasn't bad enough, he forgot he had his phone set to automatically upload pictures to his cloud online. So my angry butthole was technically on the internet for a day or so until he remembered. I was laughing too hard when he told me to get upset.
Silent disco has become a common name[1] for a disco where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via a radio transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to nothing
@deadthing - you are more than welcome to join us for the low, low price of $30. Oh, and you'll have to give her your DL to hold onto until you return the headphones.
I told M I had a hemorrhoid and the first thing he said was "can I see it??". I never told anyone that because I thought you'd all think he was weird. Turns out he's in good company.
But I didn't show him. Gotta save a little something for the wedding night.

This really pisses me off.
I'm grumpy today already, but the ignorance here is astounding.
Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. Now I wish I hadn't.
It might be better if I had just showed up oblivious and perhaps drunk, having rolled off a public bus, because parking will suck and be expensive. Aarrrgghhh
