I tried it for 3 months with no success, but my H and I have unexplained infertility so I'm not sure what the acupuncture could fix to begin with. That being said, I really loved my acupuncturist. He treated me way better and was more informative than my regular doctor. His recommendation was that we do an IUI combined with acupuncture, which I may end up doing one of these days but not in the near future. We've been trying unsuccessfully for 2 years now, and I'm becoming attached to our childless life.

I wasn't referring to when you were saying "this is hilarious and a little wtf". I was referring to the melodramatic conclusion you made that someone saved your kid's picture for a year in order to mock you a year later. As if the real purpose of March Madness was some long con to get you to post your kid's picture.
I don't think you're all humorless hags, for what it's worth. You're not a hive mind. Just some of you are humorless hags. And really, we owe you guys quite a debt for taking Assbride off our hands.

Do you guys not remember Karma saying you guys should do MM with a FUPA category? It's not like that was some sort of dig at your board.
And yeah, I'm still fucking baffled how anyone came to the conclusion you did. It's absurd to me. So, like I said, different board culture. We both think the others' way of thinking is totally nuts. Obviously my way of thinking is right though.
I get you guys want participants for MM, so do your smoothing over or whatever, but leave me out of it!
I was actually hoping no one else would sign up so I could cancel it due to lack of interest, but this thread sort of got the interest flowing. Now I'm stuck making all these goddamn polls.
Personally, I just felt like your reaction was so completely absurd.....that THAT was the conclusion you came to...that it was hard for me to respond with any sort of seriousness. It's days like these that show just how completely different our board culture is.
You kept the photo of my son to mock for a year? That's fucking weird. I'm sorry, but it is. I'm not wounded so much as baffled. I don't get why anyone over there cares about me at this point, let alone enough to save my pictures for mockery a year later.
If I seem a little creeped out by that, I really don't think that's out of the realm of reasonable behavior.
It might be creepy if that's what happened. But, you know, a more reasonable explanation would be that she remembered it and did a quick Google search for the old post in order to recreate it. Seeing as how the pictures are still on The Nest from last year. But you're right, the more sinister/crazy option is the most obvious choice.
What creepery is this? Someone duplicated a photo for MM that was posted online specifically for last year's MM? EW!!
And that fucking bitch better not even TRY to make it out like her little wiener kid wrote that herself. No one is falling for this shit!
NONE OF THIS IS FUNNY
hi there. as someone who is also hyperbolic, i appreciate your craft here. but either you all say "yo, this is an inside joke thing that we do!" or you continue to act like we're BSC for thinking the photo duplication is weird which will make us think you're BSC, which will mean another lameass board war about how ML is, like, so OOT and mean and somesuch shit and then EVERYONE'S eyes will roll out of EVERYONE's head and we'll all be blind.
so, how about a straight answer from club groomz?
Hi. I admit I'm completely baffled as to why this required explanation. Whodda thunk that people would read it as stalkery over mockery? But please don't take it so seriously. It's funny is all. I have no idea where the "ML is mean" shit could possibly come from since you guys haven't had any mean in you for a long time. We're not that mean, and I'd say we're meaner than you guys are (as evidenced by LHC's wounded response to all this).

WHAT?! This is worse than getting pregnant after you said you'd be a bridesmaid in someone's wedding. ALZI IS THE WORST. Next time you better plan your baby's conception appropriately. I'm so disappointed in you. Babies ruin everything.

We encourage cheating so that feelings don't get hurt. And the winner is not necessarily who has the cutest kid/pet/whatever. It's based on the campaigns! Last year's campaigning was fantastico. The Clete videos were legendary. And Alzi brought it hard too (you better be back this year). You've gotta have a sense of humor and waaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands if you want to win.

How much it costs is going to vary based on the troop. Some troops are big into activities and events and earning badges, and that costs money so they have to raise it somehow. It's usually more out of pocket costs for the younger ones because they can't do much of the fundraising stuff on their own. Daisies can participate in cookie sales, but I question what the leader must be smoking if she thinks kindergarteners can do anything for longer than an hour or two.

When I said something to my doctor about being close to "advanced maternal age" (while making quotation fingers and rolling my eyes), she said something about that actually being 32 or something (I forgot already because I'm so old...memory is going). She had another name for what 35 was. So basically my 35 year old ovaries fall asleep after watching Matlock.

Add me to the list of people who think it's fucking amazing.
I had mine for the full 5 years. I haven't had kids, so they had to stretch my cervix before they could insert it. That part hurt like a sonofabitch, but that lasted like two seconds. After insertion, I felt like I had just normal period cramps for a day or two. I did go to my ballet class right after insertion and would have been fine to participate. I had taken two advil prior to the procedure, but I don't know if it really did much.
I spotted for a couple days at most. Then my period disappeared entirely and didn't come back until I had it removed 5 years later (minus maybe a total of 5-10 days of spotting over the entire 5 years). It was glorious. I experienced no PMS symptoms whatsoever. The only change I noticed was a dulling of my sex drive, but that didn't bother me because I still responded to foreplay and all that jazz just the same. I did not gain weight on it, but I didn't lose weight on it either. I manage to gain 10 pounds every time I switch birth control pills, so the fact I didn't gain any weight when I got the Mirena was good enough for me.
I had it taken out 2 years ago and haven't experienced any side effects from it. My period resumed just like normal.
Obviously, like with any birth control, you never know how your body will react to it. As long as you aren't spending an arm and a leg to get it put in, I say it's worth trying it out and see how it works for you.

Camping donuts are a must. They're 75% of the reason we go camping.
You need a metal coffee can, and these are becoming hard to come by. Put a few inches of Crisco in it (we use the butter flavor because....butter). Heat that until it turns to liquid. Then take a roll of biscuit dough and cut them in half. Drop them into the liquid Crisco, turn after maybe a minute until both sides are golden. Then take them out using a slotted spoon and put it in a paper bag with a cinnamon/sugar mix. Give it a shake to coat. And then die happy little deaths with each bite. Trust.

Why you should vote for me -- I was a Knot Mod for the AFB board and didn't use my mod powers once. When I became the mod for the RE board on the Nest, I used my mod powers only to edit out the links to spam posts because, let's be real, the rambling broken English in them is hilarious and should be treasured. I strongly believe that a mod shouldn't mess with a post unless it is spam or personal info. Or to change anyone who just comments "MUD" to "I'm a boring idiot with nothing useful to say".
Most importantly, I do not want this responsibility at all. I'm just competitive and like winning stuff.
I vote for ML to change to "About Abortion." Number 1 in the list and TONS of hits guaranteed!
We're going to have an abortion sub-board, so you can't have it. Our co-mod The Ghost of Jerry Orbach is going to be dispensing the dos and don'ts of DIY abortions.
