NitaX's reminded me that I am salty about my foot. The cortisone injection worked for about 4 months, but my plantar fasciitis is back. Conservative treatment didn't work. My orthopedist said maybe it'll go away on its own. (Seems totally plausible after a year, dude. :eye roll:) He won't do a repeat cortisone injection. His only real recommendation is a $400 biologic injection that insurance won't cover that has a 50 percent chance of success. I suspect that I will ultimately need surgery, but I won't be able to have that done until late 2017.
So in the meantime, there are only about 2 pairs of shoes I can wear and even those hurt some. My foot is THE WORST. Fuck you, foot.
I am long term lurker, but a year ago I read here that someone on GBCN did the whole 30 and their plantar fasciitis went away. So I tried it because I had been having issues with my feet for years. I think I went to the doctor once about it and she sort of blew me off, and I don't recall what she suggested I do about it. In all honesty mine is not a terrible case, mine usually bothers me in the mornings, but it was enough for me to try the diet. After three days of doing whole 30 I was able to get out of bed in the morning and walk normally. I had spent years hobbling to the bathroom each time I got out of bed. I don't follow this board closely enough to know if you have tried this for your PF, but it really helped me a lot.
Do you all still consider yourselves the AP board of GBCN/The Nest? Remember how low the bar is before you answer. Lol. Ok, I'm done now. I actually like everyone as long as you're not saying some dumb shit. I air my grievances in real time.
That wasn't something we came up with! I'm fairly sure ML called us that first, and not as a compliment. We used it ironically.
But now that you mention it, this board is a lot like my kid's gifted and talented class. All these super smart kids who can't keep their shit together. NINE YEAR OLDS throw literal tantrums that require teacher backup because someone told them they were wrong about the best Pokémon.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but my friend whose son is in the G & T class has recently started getting into intense arguments with his classmates and it's all about Pokémon. In retrospect, I think it's just as well that DD didn't get in to G & T.
Ohhhhhh I thought AP stood for attachment parenting. I was scratching my head over why CEP would be the AP of GBCN. But then I decided it was a harsh - but fair - assessment.
Can I just say that as a board outsider and long time GBCN'er that you guys have always been full of drama? I mean this as a compliment. Maybe the debates feel different when you're in them, but from my vantage point, you all have been wildin' out since '08.
It's pretty much the truth. I also feel like now isn't the time to welcome Republican opinions. That should've been done years ago when there were more of us moderates willing to discuss the other side of issues. Now the party is left with extremists. I don't really care to hear from them, much like I don't care to hear sloppy liberal white tears. Alas, there's nothing we can do about that now.
Other than that, I've been airing grievences the whole year because WTF?
I meant more like you (who has been here), kateaggie, y4m. Evem habs though she hates me for some reason. Not the Julie, AW variety. And until this year I thought eclaires was a Con so I probably don't know what I am talking about. I just like talking current events and politics but this echo chamber is old and tired.
Oh never. That's in my top 3. It clocks in at #2, just beating out "children can consent to sex work." But it loses to the epic festivus thread of 2013. Because nothing can top that.
which is also why I am not sorry arbor is gone with her crazy ass bullshit people love and choose sex work, as if that is the majority.

I'd like to air the grievance that pescalita came to vacation in my neighborhood and didn't get together.
(Though, to be fair, she didn't know it was my neighborhood until I called her out on it at the end of her family trip. Also, she was on a family trip.)
Also, I keep falling asleep ridiculously early and then waking up at like, 2 am. It's a vicious cycle. 3.5 years after moving to CA and my body is still on Eastern time.
I'm ducking pissed that they can't even make a kids' movie without it being racist and sexist. DD1's class went to see Sing today and her teacher said it was horrible. One example she gave me was that the "gang members" (actually called that in the film) were gorillas. I mean WTAF?
Girl, I can attest to this. I just got home from seeing it. It was unfunny, and for a movie called Sing, it had surprisingly little music, but I was really irritated by the "gang of gorillas" and also a really unfunny ongoing joke about a Japanese girl group. It was a very tone-deaf movie.
damn. My kid loves singing and music and I was looking forward to taking him to this movie. Not anymore.

I was lol! I am so full of rage at Rs that I full on don't care anymore about anything I leaned conservative on nor do I think Rs are actually conservative on anything but social issues. I was always pretty extremely socially liberal and I used to think fiscal issues should influence my vote but not anymore. Also the more money my family makes the more I roll my eyes at our pathetic tax burden (but don't tell my h I said that) - we also live in a no income tax state which plays into that too.
And really seven years of living around everything I always thought "not all Rs" about has changed my mindset quite a bit. It's made me a person I don't necessarily like at times.
Climate change is one of the main things that's pushed me further to the left too. Im so angry at the anti intellectualism and the way Rs pee on everyone and tell them it's raining.
Wrong. Lots of people see the downfalls of unions. I am not a fan of unions but it's not because I am necessarily anti-union. Unions are meant to balance the power between the employee and the employer and the needle for awhile moved too far towards unions. And I say unions not employees because unions are often after their own interests and maintaining their power vs actually serving their employees. I do not think unions should be abolished but I do think we need to examine their current state and what needs they are actually meeting and who they are actually serving.
What.The.Fuck is wrong with people?! People are wrong.
She's not still here, is she? It seems like a whole bunch of people defected from the board since I was here last. Not saying I miss the people I don't see... just that I notice some people aren't here, but I have no idea why.
Nope, gone. She doubled down on some anti-Semitic remarks back in October and refused to apologize.
And that was after she told several people on MMM that communism was awesome! (maybe not in so many words, but close to it.) And told posters whose lives have been impacted by communism and dictators that their experiences were not valid. Again that's not the direct quote, but it was definitely the essence of her posts.

And don't get me started on CBAs that give the employees less than they're entitled to under the law and then make it difficult for the well-intentioned employer to come into compliance with the law because there's a CBA in place.

well this is where I stand but when the topic comes up (albeit rarely as of late) I only noticed iammalcolmx chiming in with me. I am good with being corrected!

It's not really a grievance per se but I'm really curious about what all the old regulars who used to sit and post on here 24/7 are doing with their free time now (tamb, this, vicmo, starry, lhc, among others).

I assume they are on another board, possibly together, posting away. No one breaks an internet message board addiction like that!

This is what I assume. You go somewhere else and post.
I'll confess that Tamb used to really intimidate me, and then she started posting on MMM and I was like, oh.

this used to intimidate me. She was really funny and nice at first but over time adopted a very aggressive posting style. If you didn't agree with everything she thought and said, she had no trouble making it very clear that it was because something was wrong with you. Anyway i realized she must have had her baby by now so I checked on FB and saw that she unfriended me. I think she unfriended a lot of MMM people.

She always seemed so strange for so many reasons. I obviously love children's clothing to an obsessive level but yeah.
Also I figure I will eventually be run off this forum because everyone obsessed with children's clothing has been lol. NOTALLCHILDRENSCLOTHINGLOVERS! Some of us do have some sense.

She unfriended me, but that was before I said anything, lol. I called her out on MMM after she unfriended me, probably because I didn't leap to her defense when @kirkette called her out for other shit.
She definitely became the queen bee of MMM and it was not good, IMO. It changed the dynamic of the board and not in a good way. If you disagreed with her on anything she just ridiculed you or laughed. She also was someone who needed to post EVERY THOUGHT IN HER HEAD and needed validation before EVERY choice or decision, and it bugged me. Starry was the same way.
EAT WHAT YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST. NO ONE CARES. DON'T LIVE POST YOUR BREAKFAST EITHER. AGAIN, NO ONE CARES.

I could never figure out what she did with her time. Then it hit me - she posts here, lol.

Aren't the questions posts basically just that? I mean, I think for a period of time they served a valid purpose but now they are a collection of helplessness or passive aggressive "look at what a good mom i am for thinking about this!!" type things.
