Confessions or UnPop Ops or something?

LDYGTR13 · June 2012

I'm so glad to hear that, Trashy! I hate hearing about people having issues. Especially stuff like that. I'm glad y'all are on the right track now.

Well since he is cop I am going to assume he knows about gun safety.

THAT is inappropriate, IMO. But would he do the same in public? None of the officers I know would be comfortable placing their firearm on a table in a public place...

ErinG93 · June 2012

Kim, I think it's ultimately your FFIL's decision about whether he carries or not. I'm wondering more about why your FI won't talk to him?

baystateapple · June 2012

Sorry, everyone. Computer malfunction.

I think my friend is honestly just looking forward to having girl time and isn't thinking about the rest. She has three kids and no friends close by where she and her H live, so she's really excited. I just don't feel like running around, especially after this past week. H and I were talking about having some fire spinning people come over on Sunday night when I get home and I'm really looking forward to that.

Nat, I know you didn't mean it like that, but man. I wish my H had shaped up and put himself in gear before it got to this level. The grass is always greener, and nobody's relationships is perfect, I know.

kimandjosh22 · June 2012

I think FI feels like he knows what FFIL is going to say, but I feel like FFIL should at least know that it makes me uncomfortable.

mkrupar · June 2012

Cfas I know, but when we try to plan things it falls apart. :-( I never did get to see Anna before she left DC. Sads.

We have season passes to King's Dominion. I don't know if you and your H like amusement parks, but we could totally go.

Maybe he doesn't really think it's a big deal? Maybe he know it's not really his business? Those are my guesses.

Thanks :) It has been a heck of a lot of hard work, and I still get pretty sad that our first 7-8 months as newlyweds pretty much sucked. But I can see us being even stronger in the future.

eorea · June 2012

Erin, I am never around early enough. When I do make it to an evening thread everyone is already gone.

I mainly just lurk. I miss posting.

Cfas, The documentary was before the show. They look so young. Zak doesn't have all the muscle. Aaron is actually really scared. He doesn't even want to do the investigation. It's a good watch. A little slow but really creepy. I think they have it on Netflix.

Loopyseven · June 2012

H will be home later tonight. I should probably go clean up the apartment. But I think I'll procrastinate it a little longer

I agree with this. I don't know why your FI can't just say, "Dad, I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I do want you to know that Kim is pretty uncomfortable about the idea of anyone carrying a gun at the wedding." or something to that effect.

ETA - Maybe it's just an "I don't get it" on my part, but I fail to see why he HAS to have his gun on him at the wedding.

snuff9861 · June 2012

Nope wasn't trying to get anyone too riled up, just everyone seemed so bored. I've been flamed (rightly so) for stupid newb questions. So joining in: Saw all 6 Star Wars movies at Christmas...MEH. I think Ewoks are cute.

Never seen Dirty dancing, so watching a remake doesn't interest me either. Liked Footloose with Kevin Bacon, again no desire to watch a remake.

Habs2Hart · June 2012

Fluck. It's storming again. I'm so over thunderstorms. Last night I was supposed to ride, and then it was storming with tornado warnings. Today it was supposed to be sunny and hot, and it was until five minutes ago. Now it's raining and storming again. It better clear up before four. I need to ride!

kcscejal · June 2012

I love Panera's M&M cookies. Since we moved Panera is now 2 minutes away instead of 35 minutes. I like being in a bigger city, but it makes it very easy to spend all my (well, really, H's) money.

gurrlballa10 · June 2012

Confession: I want to start TTC now. I have had some serious cervical issues and H had testicular cancer when he was 19, so it scares me shiiiitless that we may not be able to have kids. But I'd rather know now then wait to find out.

On those same lines, it freaks me out thinking about having a baby, because I have no maternal instincts to speak of. I feel really uncomfortable holding other peoples kids, but I am hoping that changes when we do get a little one.

AbbeyS2011 · June 2012

I only skimmed over the gun at the wedding stuff, but my take on it is this: unless this wedding is some kind of high-security affair, or total down-home redneck/mountain people hitchin', why does anyone feel the need to be packing a loaded weapon? I would definitely be nervous.

This is where I feel like i'm stuck too. I don't see why it is a necessary thing, especially if it makes me and my family uncomfortable.

Loopyseven · June 2012

Cfas - that cookie was delicious. I'll go back next time I want one. It's easy to go there regularly since it's in the shopping plaza behind my apartment complex. There's a Qdoba in there too so I'm all set. (also a Noodles & Co, but I'm not impressed).

AbbeyS2011 · June 2012

Now I want to go home and make giant M & M cookies. Not sure why.

The wedding is at a B&B in a little town in Vermont...i don't see why carrying a loaded weapon is a necessity. But FI keeps telling me FFIL will say it is.

Loopy I love their iced shortbread cookies that are normally in shapes. They're sooo good, but sooo bad for me.

The only good reason to TTC in my opinion, is because you want a baby now. It doesn't sound like you actually want a baby now. I think it's better to find out later that you can't conceive than it is to bring a baby into the world that you're not ready for. It sounds like if it were not for those issues, no way would you be trying now.

It is probably a security issue on his part. The shiiit they have to deal with day in and day out makes them pretty paranoid.

I agree. I don't want a kid now. We don't know if we'll have fertility issues (we shouldn't, but you just never know), but I won't be TTGP just because we might.

I do want a baby now...sorry if that came off that way. It's just those two issues are always on the forefront of my mind. We have both discussed it, and while we aren't currently trying, it will happen regardless in the next few months.
