Oh my god we used to take BAGS of expired swiches home. I didn't have to feed myself ever! When my manager started to catch on we'd leave some in the trash for him to see the next morning. VERY, VERY against the rules. Which is terrible because they were always fresh delivered that morning and we were supposed to…

Wow, the audacity of calling neko case a hack is... Astounding. Is this sarcastic?

I just have to say, with many months if pregnancy to go with my first, I read every single one of the thoughtful, informative and honest posts in this thread. This was a much more nuanced and straight up conversation of the pros and cons and challenges and rewards then I have yet to come across in my other pregnancy…

Haha, okay that I could deal with. Kinda funny kinda cute, but I already have two animals whose poop I have to deal with and am putting off thinking about my future baby's poop as long as possible.

Oh shit. Too late. "If Obama had a daughter"...??? Christ.

Oh my god... My friend is planning my shower but I've never been to one... I couldn't BELIEVE it when I heard that people do that. Just, ew.

In Canada it does work like employment insurance. I will get paid 55% of my wages while on maternity leave which combined with parental leave (which men qualify for) gives me about a year. Granted at HALF the pay. I have yet to look into whether my employer has to pay but I don't think so...

That is a really good point. This period if the pregnancy is very tough to get through and I'm already annoyed at the "opinions" and intrusive questions I'm getting from the family I've told.

I'm really afraid to tell my work I'm pregnant. I was going to tell them at 12 weeks but I feel so sick all the time right now at 9 weeks that I'm thinking of spilling, just because I feel like I want them to know I'm not at my best right now and I feel like puking every minute so forgive me if I'm making a lot of…

She looks like mine...

Haha! My SO changes the name that displays on our landlines all the time. Right now one is "mine"and one is "nachos" so that made me laugh :)

Yup. New Regina songs give me that birthday feeling. That's the feeling-name I was looking for :)

When I was taking Latin in university my boyfriend and i "Latinized" our names (-us and -a at the end... 'J's turn to 'iu's etc.) because we just couldn't help it after five hours of him helping me study. we STILL use those versions as pet names (dorks).

I totally got it. It made me laugh :)

Just bought it on Amazon after reading the description. Fascinating, thanks!

I have one! I have one! Yay bossy toe!!! Now I have to name my other toes so they're not jealous...

Note to self: use term "douche canoe" this week... (A canoe full of Douches? A canoe size douche for a canoe sized vajayjay? So many questions...)

Wonderful! I'm thinking if my first day is any indication a lot of those heightened emotions will concern food... Which isn't such a bad thing with the 24hr grocery store in the corner (and a boyfriend whose good at going to said store for me :)). Thanks!

Ok weird, because I just, like JUST, found out I'm pregnant and the like 5th thing I remember feeling (after blind panic, etc.) was the urge to have salmon cream cheese, and then the ensuing rage after flinging everything out of the fridge while thinking my mom must have come over to my apartment and eaten it all. And…

Exactly, I agree! But still a cool car. Thx :)
