General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[claireybell]

Your fishys are lovely J, id love a big ol fish tank, very relaxing. Bless your friend for doing that, its very sweet gesture & hell i could do with some yummy chocs right now nom nom!! Have you & the make friend ever had 'relations'.. Just thinking of donor prospects

 

[pacificlove]

Thanks for the positive vibes! I am feeling them!

J, I love those Koi, I had 3 in a 90G tank for a while a few years back. When the biggest guy reached a fat 16" I gave them all to a neighbour with a huge natural pond in his backyard. Pretty sure they reached over 2 feet in no time in all that space! I wish I could have a 180G tank
Mom and dad are looking after my 4 fish tanks since I moved away. (didn't want to put a 90G tank through a 1500km move) but I am sure my parents will be glad to give them back to me next spring! I have a 10G, 25G, 33g and 90g tank waiting for me.

In the meantime

LOL Claire
Yes...much better than very short ones ...
well so I've heard

 

[JLM73]

And this ladies...is what THREE POUNDS of Russel Stovers Oop chocolates looks like Dear Lord it will take me a YEAR to even eat half of this

 

[pacificlove]

Ok, I could eat that in no time... Send 'em over J, I'll help :drool:

 

[JLM73]

LOL theres more than in the pic- that's one of three layers, the box is 2 ft wide

Cool way to market the oops ones tho...I will have to do that too

 

[DobbyForever]

LOL! Love the fish and the chocolate. That was nice of him! Can he be the donor? Better yet, can he be a live in penis? I like this guy!

I'm still working on a small box SO brought. The German Team brought boxes of chocolate from Germany over when they came to visit, so he snagged one to bring for me right before my sugar pill week was supposed to start. Only 1/5 (like 5 pieces hahaha) of the way through.

Hope your temp rises, Bree!

CB, when are you testing again? I want more tests hehe.

Baby dust to everyone!

AFM, my temp was just over 97.9. So I am royally confused. If I Oed on Saturday, then having such a low temp makes sense. 97.9 at 2dpo makes sense, it's a little low for my usual 3dpo. I just hate that Friday's temp was on 2 hours of sleep/ taken almost 2 hours late so it's not reliable. UGH. Or maybe I just surged and didn't O. Which would make more sense. FML. I want to just go to bed so I can temp lol

 

[JLM73]

OH noooo Dobs
He is the guy I dated in 2007- still my best friend but MARRIED lol
Remember they are the ones with the weird ass open marriage kinda thing
Knowing his weird wife she would say Oh yeaaaa give her some cups
I know he wouldn't stay in his lane tho, and I'm not trying to wreck anyone's home marriage etc.
Tho I will admit last year after a wee too much
I did throw the idea at him over the phone- he kindly declined, and I don't have the nerve to ask again.
His reasons were he had an agreement to "donate" to a woman when he lived in Cali, and she agreed NOT to interfere in his life later, look for him, or do child support etc.

They even signed a notarized contract detailing everything...welll she went back on ALL of that tells his daughter to this day he's a POS and doesn't love her (she's 14) AND Cali courts made him pay child support with very little visiting rights- so he has been burned badly.

Now admittedly the woman is a nut, and he knows I am none of that but
1- He has 3 girls and me being Team BLUE he def wants to be involved if I had a boy...which is a prob- Waaayyy Soap Opera lol
and
2- He is a good dad and wouldn't want any kids in the world he's not involved with actively.

3- he admits he never should have gotten married to her ( admitted to me not her) but would never divorce...uh yea Awkward- I don't want to give him any pushes to get one.

No doubt we are still 99% compatible in all our interests and likes, but ehhh

I likely will ask him again in a super serious way...just haven't cuz he def backed off the friendship contact last time ...gah men pfft

 

[JLM73]

Holy Sh*&Balls!
Just saw an old ass message from Nov 11 he sent me at 11PM saying "Love you"
Uh yea...that's why I haven't asked lol He sends me stuff like that when he takes his Ambien
I assume it was about the pic i shared but - doubt it given his Ambien track record lol

 

[JLM73]

Ugh AF has been really light all day, and is now heavy...so changed my chart to Med

 

[DobbyForever]

Ah yeeeeah sounds like he has a case of buyer's remorse and wants you. Props to you for being the stronger person.

 

[JLM73]

No doubt. If I said let's do it he would lol
Oh well- he cheated and lost out- so we stayed friends and he learned the hard way about eyeballing the neighbor's greener side of the fence...guess the grass has browned lmao
He is damn sexy tho...sigh
Oh well even if he accepts donating to the cause- it is def NONassisted
and best believe I'll hand his ass some pre-seed lube and a porn mag ...and wait outside the door to make sure it's fresh

 

[Breeaa]

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol yeah I would steer clear sounds complicated. You'll find a better guy to be a donor

 

[JLM73]

Claire...I'm sure its just me the night owl and you the early bird still up lol
TWO am and finally took my ambien...it better work or I will be wearing tin foil on my head and noting the FBI sqirrel movements thru trees by late AM

 

[gigglebox]

Wow y'all were active yesterday!

Dobs, i'm enjoying your presence back here. Bummer about the wonky temps...hope they start making sense. Btw, we never did see the ring, is the engagement still on? Also, i asked you a few pages back....Taco Bell or Del Taco?

J, did you find any donor leads yesterday?

Bree, yay for ovulating!

Cb, any new symptoms?

PL, hope hub's absence feels really short. I know that can be a lonely situation :/ maybe check craigslist for some community events to keep busy? Ps, we got 21 eggs yesterday! Also dropped off a few dozen to 4 restaurants last night so hope we get some prospect buyers soon....or we're going to be up to the ass in eggs.

So, this phone thing...

It wasn't reported stolen, but i'm afraid it was. It doesn't belong to the guy i bought it from. Also, i told him via email i wanted him to clear it or give me my money back and he has not responded. What would you guys do? I'm afraid if i report it to the police i'll be out a phone (which can at least still be used as a mini computer by my husband) and $120. I tried contacting speint to have them contact the person listed as the owner, but no luck. They said they were unable to contact them, but not sure if they can't legally or they tried and couldn't reach the person.

Grrrrrr

 

[DobbyForever]

Honestly I doubt Sprint tried. It's like when retail employees say they will check the back. The back that doesn't exist. Lol

Taco Bell always. Del Taco is like TB vomit. I tried it once and never again.

I have pics somewhere (got a new phone). Engagement is suspended due to external pressure and SO having a bigger depressive episode than mine. We're going to see a couples counselor after thanksgiving. The government came at him for back taxes hard, so he owes them a few grand now so his logical brain is like return the ring. But i'm not giving it up just because shit hit the fan.

My temp is doing a drunk girl crawl up so I definitely Oed. The mystery remains when. 24-36 hours post start of rise is Friday afternoon to Saturday early morning. 8-16 hours post peak is Friday evening to Saturday early morning. I just feel like my temps don't support that well even though the cramping I had does. Had to put FF on OPK to get an O date after my lh surge

 

[gigglebox]

I'm not savvy to the temperature stuff at all, so i can't comment....suffice to say i hope you get the outcome you are looking for...or at least the outcome that's "meant to be". I hear a lot of great things out of couples counseling so I know that will do you guys some good. Honestly I wish i could afford some therapy of some sort...alas. Anywho you can usually pay taxes in installments, he doesn't have to pay it in a lump and sacrifice the ring. Hope you can find a way around that.

And, yeah, my AZ friends were raving about Del Taco, so i tried it on a visit. Not impressed. I like my grade D slop served in a flour tortilla, thank you.

Called sprint, they gave me the same song and dance. Due to "sprint policies", they aren't allowed to call the person who's name is on the account attached to this phone to verify what's going on with it. So basically i'm at the mercy of "Chanando", and I did email the dude just now and told him i suspect it's stolen. Hopefully that scares him a little into either giving me my damn money back or getting the phone released so i can use it, if he hasn't been lying this whole time.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gigs- from my experience you'll never hear from him again. But if it isn't reported stolen it shouldn't be a problem right?

Dobs- we went through a similar situation when we first for engaged where we needed money and needed it fast and my first thought was to return the ring too. Luckily hubs told me that was silly and we would figure it out. And we did. We figured it out. We've had lots of financial stress in about every way over the last two years and hubs always said "it always works out" and it actually kinda does always work out.

 

[pacificlove]

wOW, that's a good amount of eggs! Wohoo!! Even the 2 girls I had laying quit when we had a death last weekend Really not sure why..
This area here isn't much community compared to where we are going. It's a sad combination of oil field and military people who just never stick around long enough to create that.

Dobs: glad to see you are back!! Hope things turn around for you. DH and I managed to get rid of his $15K debt in less then 9 months. It is possible.
