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

[gigglebox]

Dobs maybe first guy profile stalked you and saw the pics? Definitely doesn’t sound like it would have been a good match….

So is Bar Guy a potential long term situation or just for funsies? Love that you mentioned height lol. I don’t think short guys get enough attention.

 

[gigglebox]

Wait so where DID you hook up?? Was it in a castle? I’m still pretending it was

 

[shaescott]

Short guy fan here (DH is 5’4”, no neck pain for me)

Update: I got the job offer I was hoping for! Day shift ED, 5 minutes from where we want to live. We drove down to tour and apply, and the lady there said we should hear back Monday. They didn’t have a non-smoking version of the cheapest ones so we had to go up about $100 from what we planned, but the two cheapest non-smoking building apartments were $35 apart and one was a 1 bedroom, one was a 2 bedroom. We said screw it, give us the 2 bedroom at that point, we can have an office for our computer desks like we do now. So hopefully they’ll approve us. We lived there before and got our security deposit back, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

 

[gigglebox]

Woohoo!! Congratulations Shae that’s awesome!!! And second room perhaps if a baby should come along…… XD
The apartment wait is probably just to run a background check.


Haha I thought of you on the short guy love haha

 

[autumnal]

Yay congrats on the new job, hope you get the apartment!
I'm glad the shorter guys are getting some love! People are so critical of shorter guys these days.. my husband is 5'8ish so not very short but I'm an inch taller than him lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Oh Shae that’s great news!!!!! Congrats! I agree go for that second bedroom! Yay

Yeah my social is pretty locked down. He only had access to my Instagram which is mostly just stories of random reels or A and me. It is entirely possible he just is intimidated because I have my ducks in a row and he doesn’t and he is very machismo. Idk it’s whatever.

Um bartender has long term DTD potential like I can look him up any time I’m at Disney lol. I joked if he moved to the bay he could be my kept man

Yeah I’m 5’2 so tall guys are fun but honestly these short guys are easier on the neck/ hand holding/ proportions for me haha.

But idk what’s in the water because this past month I’m pulling nothing but 25-30. must be all these Nicole Kidman movies with younger men lol

 

[gigglebox]

Oh duh *face palm* i forget you’re not actually that close lol my bad
Ok either i forgot your height or didn’t know! So when you say a guy is short is that relative to other men i assume? Shorter than you is hard to envision

 

[shaescott]

Literally everyone has mentioned the 2nd bedroom being good for an oops (or planned) and by everyone I mean DH and my mother, and all of you of course.

@gigglebox yeah I figure just background check and checking their records on us as tenants.

@autumnal I am 5’8”, so we have a 4 inch height difference. It’s never bothered me, but he also has wide shoulders, so my evolution brain (or whatever it is) is probably like “BROAD MAN PROTECT” his shoulders don’t quite fit in his own airplane seat and he feels bad cuz he’s taking up other people’s seat space not sure if the photo does his shoulders justice, but you can see he’s much wider than me lol


@DobbyForever men love a MILF

 

[HalfricanMa]

cute pic @shaescott

 

[DobbyForever]

lol Shae honestly my first thought was great so when there’s an oops you’re already set manifesting buahaha

Agreed suppppper cute picture of you two.

Yeah idk that I’ve met a guy shorter than me. I was pretty much eye to eye with these last two guys, though I was in a short heel with one.

Haha yeah was just there for work. Not sure if I mentioned that but basically my school won a state award and the ceremony is at Disneyland. I got lucky and won the raffle to go so my airfare, airport parking, meals, and swanky room at the Disneyland Resort were all comped by my district. I just had to pay for my Disney ticket and meals on my extra day/my room for the extra night I stayed.

 

[DobbyForever]

Oh and I was taking a selfie full body today and it’s like from that aerial angle we all look better so maybe that’s part of why tall guys are nice. They look down on us and get that good angle

 

[shaescott]

Lmao vs my DH who gets my double chin view

 

[gigglebox]

Lolllll this is literally a thought I’ve had about myself and my husband getting the best angles of me lmao

Well I’m about to have a weekend of indulgence before I try to do my best with the weight loss/exercise efforts again. We’re celebrating end of school with junk food (the kids made me a list to go buy), movies, and probably a ton of video games. We just did end of year testing (for our home school, we have to test to prove to the state that they’re learning) and they all did great! I think I’m more nervous about it that the kids are. I’m always terrified we aren’t doing enough. They are excelling across the board compared to the national average of kids their ages so I’m happy and a proud mama.

Anyway this is it, I gotta get back to milf status fat chance with the horrible sleep though…

 

[shaescott]

Gigs good luck on the weight loss efforts! Sounds like you’ve been doing an amazing job with homeschooling.

Update: we got approved for the apartment, I’m just waiting for the official written welcome letter, but I’ve gotten verbal confirmation over the phone from two of the leasing people that our move in date is a go. DH just accepted a job at Firestone, starting pay is $19.20 and there’s lots of opportunity for advancement, so it’s much better than driving for FedEx, that’s a bit of a dead end job. And it’ll pay rent.

 

[gigglebox]

Woohoo shae! Everything looks like it’s going in the right direction! Is hubby’s job just until he hopefully gets the better offer?

So we just found out today that my SIL and BIL are planning to move out of state not thrilled about losinh nearby family but iiwii. Sadly my MIL and her hubby will probably move too, but closer to her husband’s family.

I’m bummed because sil & I were finally getting close. Also our boys absolutely love each other so that will be hard.

 

[autumnal]

So sad everyone is moving away!! Sorry gigs. Good luck on your fitness journey though.

Congrats on getting the apartment Shae and hubs getting a job!

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and have been having a hard time at work, I've been really out of breath this pregnancy which never happened to me before. My doctor just said to make sure I get iron and that this pregnancy is probably just harder because I'm older LOL.

 

[DobbyForever]

Yay Shae that's awesome!!! And yay for hubs finding a job with growth opportunity. When do you think you'll move?

Gigs I'm sorry. That sucks! Are they moving for a job or just need a change of scenery or like cost of living? I'm with you! These 20 somethings got me wanting to get back to milf status, too. Plus, I noticed my cycles were starting to get too long and my ovary was starting to hurt which means I have a cyst. So I'm back on bcp and also on Jenny Craig and trying to hop on the stationary bike for 25m at least 4-5x a week. Luckily the bcp seems to help because I was still gaining weight despite all that but a few cycles on things are trending back in the right direction. Still hoping to lose 10-20 pounds though.

Autumn I'm sorry this pregnancy is so rough. I know they say the upside to the symptoms is a reminder that your bean is in their growing but doesn't make them any easier to deal with. Hoping the iron helps!

AFM I'm building my summer roster But one interesting standout is this one guy. He's only been with two women, his gfs of 5-7 years. So that's why he's cautious about dating. He lost himself in his last 7 year relationship, and he wants to focus on himself. But he's got great communication and doing all the things I need a fwb to do to make the act enjoyable ie actually hanging out with me before we sleep together. He does have roommates, and he was saying that he doesn't want me to be uncomfortable the first time because it should be special and nice. So he's currently planning an overnight trip for us. Either Napa or Carmel are on the short list. We also have a running joke that if we're still talking in winter that he'll take me to Tahoe. But yeah we took a lowkey walk in the park while he was on break yesterday. We're doing something tomorrow. He's so introverted, it makes me look like an extrovert. Just slightly over 6'. Engineer. 29. From Chicago. I kinda get the vibe he might end up getting too attached HAHAH but that's a him problem. I'll probably also get too attached, so that's a me problem.

 

[shaescott]

Gigs oh no! I’m so sorry everyone is moving away. That’s really tough.
DH is planning to keep this job for maybe a year to gain experience.

Autumnal I’m sorry about the shortness of breath, that’s really rough, especially this early in the pregnancy.

Dobs summer roster, oh no This guy sounds like a good one. Just make sure he knows if you only want FWB, sounds like he’s definitely a “fall in love” kind of guy.
We are moving tomorrow! AHHHH it’s bittersweet, but we’re so ready to be closer to family and friends.

 

[DobbyForever]

Oooo exciting but so much work. Did you call in reinforcements?

Yeah he knows. I told him straight up he can't meet A. It came up because he asked if I had ever taken A skiing and he made a joke about how our hot tub activities would look different if A was there. So I had to put a hard stop on that. I wouldn't mind it becoming something because I do still hope that one day I'll find a life partner, but yeah right now I'm just in my healing era and sounds like he is too.

Hahah yeah I had too very NSA guys on the roster but they talk a big game. They want to just send snaps, and I'm like I get you two are in your 20s. But I'm 35. You missed that boat by 10-15 years lol. I'm too old for this. So they have about one more week to hit it before I quit it. But yeah the other candidates for the roster are also a bit mid. And as feral as I am, my body is a temple so admittance is a bit strict hahaha.

 

[shaescott]

Oooo exciting but so much work. Did you call in reinforcements?

I think you meant this for me but I’m not 100% sure
Yes, DH has a great friend group and they’re all driving up to help us tomorrow morning. We have most stuff boxed up, they’ll help us load the uhaul and unload at the apartment.
