Right Now I'm...
Right now I'm not feeling too well. I'm not sure if being pregnant is making me a bigger baby than usual, or if I'm just using that as an excuse to try to go home early today...

Waiting on birthday cakie-poos to finish baking!
Amberrrrrrrrrr! How are you? I was thinking of you over Christmas. Take care of yourself, that is your first priority. This is a very special time.
Whoa! How did I miss all of this?!
Yes! I was just over in another thread responding to his reaction that everyone was blazing him. I was trying to make him feel better. Then I come over here and see this and wish I had not tried.Why do people feel the need to attack you, Dubs? I really don't like it.
Hmmmm. That is kind of you to give them an excuse but having a strong flavor hardly rationalizes feeling the need to jump all over someone for no good reason.
I think of you as a wise person who is an eloquent speaker that is informative and factual and adds insight to a topic without sounding supercilious. When you speak upon something, I listen because chances are you know more about it than I do or see it differently than me and I learn, grow and become better informed for hearing what you have to say.

Really, Bunwat? You see no good reason why Kyle might have felt anger at the way he's been treated in this group? I don't think you're being honest.

Classic projection.
"Projection is a defense mechanism that involves taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people. For example, if you have a strong dislike for someone, you might instead believe that he or she does not like you. Projection works by allowing the expression of the desire or impulse, but in a way that the ego cannot recognize, therefore reducing anxiety."
Bunwat, you are the person who has difficulty being challenged, not Kyle. Kyle was directly challenged (mods asked him to change his behavior) and he responded by changing his behavior. He became more compliant.

Let 'em carry your crap and open doors for you and rub your shoulders. People treat you like a delicate flower while you're pregnant and you should enjoy it! Once that baby is born they won't treat you like you're special anymore...even though that's when you really need the TLC. Such is life. Murphy's laws and whatnot.
Exactly. We should have a so mamas don't lose their heads thread. Shit is hard.
Seriously. I love little but God help me, I would not survive another one without being institutionalized.
You betcha! I have a similar reminder about my mom. She was not a single mother but she raised 3 kids and that alone deserves my patience and understanding.
I've been spending about 25 hours per week with my new grandbaby, who is now three months old. It is exhausting.
Enjoying my new laptop and speedy internet.

I remember the tiredness of the first three months ...and the hunger.

I don't want to glomp you, Amber, so much as give you a gentle hug and talk to your belly and sing to it. :)
::whispers to Dubs::Let's glomp Amber.
::stifles giggles::K. What should we wear?
::turns red trying to not giggle harder::okay, okay. I'm good.
::tries to stay calm and quiet::
Pirate otters...yeeesssss.
Otter mermaids? (or pirate lobsters?)
::braces self with pillow armor::
::whispers excitedly to Dubs::Pirate otter mermaid lobsters...yeeeessssss.
::Tries to make out the pattern of Geektastic's armor::
::cries from the air particles::Ninjassssssssss!
::uses lobster claw to dig through costume mound to find Dubs::
Every time you call her Dubs I think of Dubby on Middleman. I loved that show, so thanks.

Oh! You'll love it. Love it, love it, love it.
If it's afternoon here can we still be fun lovers?
Oh good, that will make the weekend a whole lot better.
I always vote for more fun.Right now I am taking a break from putting together little's new kitchen and hiding from football watching men in my living room.

They lost me at a "racy PG-13" and the probability that someone might read a book that jumps into action by the first chapter without realizing that would be the nature of the book.
