Ok ladies, I need to get back to cleaning. I think I'm gonna break down the boxes in my living room and put them in our storage closet outside. Make a little room and we won't have to worry about the cats getting to them.

Edie if you have Snow Leopard you should be ok. I think they're releasing (or just recenlty released) Lion. I was on Tiger, so the operating system that was out a year and a half before Leopard was out.

<div>No kidding. I have a "friend" who is convinced her child got autism from a vaccine (the child was never diagnosed, but "a mother knows") and is continually railing against vaccines and trying to convince others not to vaccinate. She's a nurse. ffs.</div>

JessAndTrav · July 2012

I'm here, and I'll probably be here all night unless I fall asleep like I did this morning.

I'm frustrated. H is house/dog-sitting for a friend of ours (they pay, so it's nice to have some extra money) and considering I've hardly seen him in the last 3 days, I called him when he was getting off work to see if he was going to come home for a little while before going to feed the dog later tonight.

He was like, "Uh, no. I have church"

I really wanted to ask him to skip church. I'm getting really stressed out and frustrated over our upcoming move--we still don't know where we're moving for sure at this point--and yesterday I was ridiculously emotional about it, and instead of making me feel better, he was just pissing me off.

I would really like to see him, but I can't whine about it since he's getting paid and, you know, it's church and all.

But I also don't want to get up and drive to the house where he is (it's like 20 minutes away) because I know that I won't want to leave until I'm falling asleep and then I'll just stay there and sleep uncomfortably.

Sorry that got so long.

Ugh, people like that piss me off. It isn't much different than mothers thinking their children are special snowflakes so they get away with anything. Because a "mother knows". In that case, it is even worse because she is a nurse and she is a position where people trust her and her judgmet.

tidetravel · July 2012

For the record, the retort to the "you don't vaccinate your kid and you're exposing my kid" argument of "well, you vaccinate your kid so what's the problem" makes me equally ragey.

Oh, Hai guys!

MyUserName1 · July 2012

I think that's an excellent point. This anti-vaccine generation didn't live through scarlet fever and polio and the many, many other waves of illnesses (nearly plagues) that wiped out thousands of children. But if they keep not vaccinating, it'll happen again. Thousands of children could die of a disease and these parents could have prevented their children's deaths.

I had mac problems a few months back. I took it into the Apple store and found out it was a software problem. It took 3 hours, but they fixed it for free. Maybe you could try that?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Night Thread : She is a twatwaffle. She actually had support of the autism community until, oh wait, he son no longer had it! Autism isn't something that goes away and by her saying that many people came to the (probably correct) conclusion that he son never had it. IMO, that really shattered her word. Also, a lot of people don't want to give their kids vaccines because they don't see the positive anymore. All they see are the very rare times that something goes wrong. We don't see the distruction of the disease anymore. My mom says if more people saw what polio did to the people hwo had it, more would not be as against vaccines. I did a final paper about this in college.
Posted by crfb87[/QUOTE]

I agree with you and muni on this too. I don't really know much of anything about these diseases but I know if I have kids I would never want them to have to go through that kind of stuff. I mean that is why we have vaccines for them, right? Because they were scary as shiitt and were killing people.

I thought about asking him to come by after church and feeding the dog (the house is just a few minutes from our church) but by the time he does that, he'll only be here for like 30 minutes, and that's just a waste of gas.

I'm just being whiney. The last couple of days have been mood-swing central for me, and it's annoying, which just frustrates me more. I suck at being normal lately.

JessAndTrav · July 2012

I intend to vaccinate Nathan. H and I had vaccinations as babies and didn't have any side effects, so I think that Nathan will be just fine.

willywally5 · July 2012

Lynda that plantar wart sounds awful. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Don't even get me started on the anti-vaccine folks.

I had a great aunt who survived polio and her quality of life was not so great.

mkrupar · July 2012

Hi Tide!!! How are the kiddos?

Lynda that's my last resort, but other people I've talked to with the same issue have said it's a lost cause. I'd hate to spend hundreds of dollars for them to tell me they can't do anything. I was hoping to recover the files at least, but it appears the hard drive has become corrupt.

You know I'm totally fine also with doctors that don't accept patients that refuse the vaccinate their kids.

strlzfan11 · July 2012

My sister (if/when she & her H ever decide to have kids) will probably have some tough decisions to make about the MMR vaccine. She had an allergic reaction to it as a baby and my mother refused to allow her to get the follow-up. The school district gave our mom a hell of a time when she went to register her for kindergarten because she didn't have it. Eventually they got over it, but then again, this was close to 25 years ago when almost everyone vaccinated their kids.

Thanks, Edie! I (obviously) really love it as well! :)

Tide - overall, it's gone really well. Not a single day of morning sickness, he is reportedly very healthy, I've managed to keep my weight in check and my only complaint (aside from recent mood-swings and overall bitchiness) is back and pelvic pain, which has only been an issue in the 3rd trimester.

Agreed, and I'd probably seek them out.

Hi everyone! We're all doing good. We went through quite a rough patch there for a while with moving and money and life stress, but I think we've finally gotten a handle on everything.

The kids are awesome and amazing and annoying at the same time. Both of the twins are walking now (ahhhh!) and they're starting to talk a little here and there. The three are learning to conspire together, which is really bad for us. Also, everyone's starting to come in to their own personalities so it's starting to cause chaos in the household. Needless to say, M and I look forward to 9pm everynight.
