I posted my bfp on GetP even though I got pregnant quickly this time. I couldn't decide if posting made me a bigger asshole than just wandering away without thanking people for their advice.
I think the difference was you tried to be an active poster. You can't control whether it takes you one or ten cycles, kwim?

Honestly, I do a little ^o) every time v starts this post. I like her a lot, but I don't get why someone who never contributes anything juicy to these (well, with one notable exception) starts them so frequently. And that face can now be applied to mbcdefg if she complained about it being slow (I didn't see her post, so it may have been a comment in passing) and then decided to contribute with...a post on asthma.
I don't have anything exciting to add - I've really wracked my brain and either only have more lame stuff or have stuff that's too personal - so this post may make me a hypocrite.

Hey hey hey, now, I also contributed a post on danish.

I want to know where this millionaire sister post is, v?
The best thing I can think of it that I came downstairs (my office is in the basement) and saw this before I was fully awake. I screamed and dropped my breakfast all over the stairs. You can laugh at/with me.
I try to post salacious not-boring things in these threads but it never gets a bigger conversation going since I'm still a newb and no one "knows" me. Kinda makes me roll my eyes when people say the lurkers need to come out but then no one notices the lurker posts!
I will say I feel included in the MM posts so thanks for that!

Your avatar always makes me do a double-take because MH had that photo as his phone's lock screen/home screen/whatever-the-hell-it's-called for a year or so.
I'm always like, "Mr. MB? WTF are you doing here???"
Here's a confession--I feel like I am a big reason DH fell apart during the great shitshow of 2013--not enough tough love when he needed it the most. It's been a long road back, and we're still on it.
One of our staff just got back from a post-elopement Vegas trip and our ofc manager put a (very half-hearted) pot luck lunch together for her. I didn't bring anything because, frankly, I forgot (no reminders after a single email earlier this wk) so I decided not to take part. One of our other staff (who already gets on my nerves) stood at my office door trying to get me to come eat their crappy food for like 3 minutes and I was just, "nah, I'll pass."
I did stop by the lunch to give the bride my well wishes. And then I went and got Wendy's. Lol.

Mostly, I just think they can be fun threads if anyone out there wants an excuse to get something off their chests. Random posts tend to be extraordinarily boring so why not have one of these every once in a while?
Confession: yesterday was my husband's birthday and I was away, didn't leave him a gift or card or treat or anything (nor will I do that that when I get home) and didn't talk to him. Bad wife. That's really all I have right now.
I will also say that I'm doing a lot of huh? when reading the my sister is marrying a millionaire thread. Being a millionaire is a very comfortable existence, but most millionaires are not exactly living like Paul Allen.
Nothing wrong with being well off. My parents are probably technically millionaires, but far from the Paul Allen status and they don't rub it in peoples faces. They're frugal in their own way and worked hard to get where they are.
I feel like I know way too much about his finances from the 48 hours I met the guy, it made me feel uncomfortable and it was weird. Within the first hour of meeting him, I knew how much he was "worth". When I know how much is in your bank account and I just met you, then that's weird. Unless I like, asked.

The OP was deleted but replies are still there.
Oh! Was it the MOH post?
I started reading that, but got lost in wall-o-text and needed sleep last night. I guess it was more than the standard I don't like my sister's fiancé.
Eta - I know I can be guilty of wall o text myself. It really had more to do with being too tired to process it.

Get this out of your head right this second!
I'm feeling calm and happy today, so confessing this is more like an acknowledgement of a fact. I know there are days that posting this same sentence (and any type of either positive or negative response) would have destroyed me.
Contributing confessions for the good of the board!

It was me. I have sister issues. I'm jealous. the end.

One of my favorite stories is when my mom was sitting around with my (cool) uncle and my (bitchy) aunt - her in-laws - talking about how to best take care of my grandma. Grandma lived on the same block as my parents and then once my dad died my aunt immediately schemed to move Grandma 450 miles away.
My uncle's worked in banking for years and has invested wisely, and lives in Florida. He offered to just buy her a condo or something near him so that he could check in on her. Bitchy Aunt scoffed and said, "Well, we aren't ALL worth a million dollars!" Uncle turns to my mom, smirks, holds up two fingers and silently mouths, "TWO million."
I know I've said this before.... But it's really starting to become a bigger (ha) issue. I'm really really unhappy with my recent weight gain.
Recent photos of myself make me want to vomit. Like I'm just gross and chubby and ew. Not to mention I jiggle everywhere.
I want to do terrible unhealthy things so that I can quickly drop 45+ lbs.
I know that with continued healthy eating and exercise I'll see a difference. But that also takes a few months and I want this weight gone faster than that. I'm just impatient and frustrated.
I feel like I literally woke up one day 45+ lbs heavier. Wah.
I feel the same way about photos (and life in general). I hope you don't do anything unhealthy though. Maybe if you gained it super fast, it will come off just as fast?
I've been awful at sticking to a diet, so that hasn't worked for me. I'm sure the half pizza I ate last night isn't helping. Blah.
I won't do anything unhealthy. I've got too much going for me.
It's just frustrating because I'm so unhappy yet I keep hearing "you look healthy" or "you look great with some lbs" or "men like curves".
I don't care what others think. I care what I think. Ya know?
I'm cranky today and my clothes are fitting tighter + it's hard to eat healthy when traveling.

Our fifth anniversary - the wood anniversary - is in a few weeks. MH has been down in the basement for about a month now, working on a gift for me. Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out a way to get him something decent while spending the least amount of time or money possible.
Oh, and most of the time, I could not possibly care less about sex.
Flameworthy: I think it's weird when couples with kids call each other Mommy and Daddy. Does everyone do this? "Daddy, can you get the blanket?" Unpopular: I don't see the appeal of Cards Against Humanity or Apples to Apples. It's like madlibs, but without the creativity. You're just pairing words together that someone's already thought of. Where's the skill/humor in that? Confession: I saw Sam Heughan (Jamie on Outlander) last night at an event and I prefer him in a kilt. He was wearing a suit with his hair in a stupid bun. I did enjoy watching the midseason premiere though.

That we're not even allowed to talk about!
When has that ever stopped anyone?
It's the fracking GBCN. The Internet never forgets. Or is that "excuse" only reserved for certain posters.
Sometime last year I borrowed a few thousand from my son's savings account. I've been paying it back here and there but I still owe him $1950. I can't believe I borrowed money from my 2 year old.
To pay for a credit card.
My parents cleared out their three kids' savings accounts to buy a house. *shrug* I ain't mad.

I bought DH a Mets matryoshka for our 5th wedding anniversary- not exactly romantic. He had a wooden rocking chair from my childhood repaired so that it could actually be used. I'm sitting in it right now nursing our DS. Our marriage has survived the glaring disparity in anniversary presents!
I'm going to need more information on why this is.
XH and I fell apart in 2009. Was sober but started calling me fat, etc. No sex. In early 2010 found out he was cheating and using drugs. Left him. Since then I haven't dated or anything. It's just me and the kids. I really have no friends and my sister and brother and I aren't close. Not interested in dating. And since I really can't get out of the house, it's been rough. But I realized a few days with the anxiety I've been having I could really used my berries razzed. (to quote grey's last night.)
So I know you didn't mean it like that, but at first I was kind of at the inclusion of it in this particular context.
LOL!
I hope you get your berries razzed soon. I am also dying at that expression.

So fucking boring. Ugh. This post, on the other hand, has been interesting.
irene adler - hugs, you've lost a lot, too, even if you're not the one who's sick. It's an incredibly tough place to be.
I guess this is a confession, but man, what a difference in H's attitude a little sex makes. And that kind of pisses me off and makes me want to withhold! lol
