Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day?

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake?

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot?

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today. How shall I tell my mom that he is a total crock of shiit next time she starts talking about how great he is?

Celles · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day? No. I'm on flex time and usually work 9 - 5:30 on raid days and 9:30 - 7 on non-raid days. He works at a bank and has odd shifts; one day he may work 7 - 3 and the next day 10 - 6 or later, if he closes.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake? We're still long distance, so... none.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot? I typically knot from work, so TK doesn't really cut into "us" time even when we are together geographically.

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today. How shall I tell my mom that he is a total crock of shiit next time she starts talking about how great he is? I'm trying to come up with a witty quip here, and drawing a blank...

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today.

<strong>
Can't help you there. Which holisitic doctor? Is he famous or a local hack? I would just try to encourage her not to try his cures. Argue it might be harmful, especially if it mixes with potential medication she takes.</strong>

OOooo what did the email say!?

katiewhompus · April 2011

The guy was Dr Mercola. Generally revered by all holistic people and I think Oprah is a big fan of his. I've been side-eyeing his emails ever since he sent one out about how people shouldn't alter their animals because it causes cancer, then today his email was all about how depression was not a chemical imbalance and could be cured by exercise, sunshine, and positive thinking.

Say what?

Well then I'm screwed! I have no motivation to work out, I haven't seen the sun in 8 months and I can't think positive thoughts until tax season is over.... oh and I might as well throw my psych degree out the window since Dr. Tom Cruise says there's no such thing as a chemical inbalance...what the what!??

maratea · April 2011

Well, I know what I'd tell you mom, but I'm pretty sure her ears would bleed after I finish. It would probably be a string expletives relating to the doctor (as in motherfuckingcuntbagdouchelickingassfacedNOTAREALDOCTORpieceofshit). Good day sir.

katiewhompus · April 2011

Here's his bio page

http://naturalhealthcenter.mercola.com/Our-Practitioners/Dr-Joseph-Mercola.aspx

She doesn't see him, but reads a bunch of his stuff. The problem is that some of it rings true (gluten being a contributing factor to my fertility for example) but then there's a bunch of horse dookie thrown in.

Nope, our jobs require us to work evenings and weekends. FI starts around 3-4p I start around 6p

We're both pretty busy right now. I have school and 2 jobs, he has work + his own company. We both try to eat dinner together and watch some tv before bed every night.

Generally, he's at work or at his shop. I'm usually on here between classes or while killing time before work.

Good luck with that. Can you pull up facts that discredit what he's saying?

DodgersBride · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day? No. We normally get home around 6:40pm. I work til 6pm and FI doesn't have set schedule. We carpool so he generally works the same hours as I do though. I'm sure if we didn't ride in together he would go in earlier and leave early.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake?
We are always together with the exception of work.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot?
I normally knot from work and rarely get on while at home or on weekends. I will occasionally lurk on my phone when we are not doing anything.

See, Oprah sometimes backs the wrong horse (read: Jenny McCarthy). I would just try to refute with facts and if she won't listen, she won't listen. Ya did your best.

Steph0871 · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day? close to it. I'm home around 4:15, and H is home at either 5:30 or 6ish, depending on how late he teaches.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake? um. an hour or two in the morning, but we're running around getting ready. Then a good 4-5 hours at night and most of the weekends.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot? He's usually watching MMA or history channel, playing video games or just bugging me.

KaylaSue19 · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day? Usually but if not it's because we are out running errands together. Otherwise he is sleeping because he is on overnights. He only has 2 more days of overnights though, before going back to days/evenings (12pm-9pm) and I am very excited because I might actually start getting some real sleep again.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake? During his work week - 2-3 hours during the day.

Weekends- Depends on the season. During the summer he fishes all. the. time. so I don't see him as often. During the winter we are together most of the time.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot? Go on his computer, watch tv, whatever.

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today. How shall I tell my mom that he is a total crock of shiit next time she starts talking about how great he is? I would probably just tell her I don't believe in it.

Nina0528 · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day?
We're both home by 3:45. FI has 2 jobs, so sometime he will work 5-9 once or twice a week.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake?
A lot. If we're not at work, we're usually together. Very few of my friends live in the area but sometimes he'll go out with his friends (usually I go along if their wives/gfs will be there). FI does work weekends, though.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot?
Playing video games or watching tv

number55 · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day? If we can be. We work out right after work most days so we try to get home ASAP. But there are days it doesn't work out like that.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake? Um, a lot I guess. But not always interacting.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot? Usually plays video games.

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today. How shall I tell my mom that he is a total crock of shiit next time she starts talking about how great he is? Find stories about crappy holistic docs.

mehgank · April 2011

I'll answer these since there's no GM thread yet (and I can't generate one, grrr TK gods!!).

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day?
Yes, except for the days we/I go to the gym. Then it's more like 5:30pm with a late dinner around 6:30 or 7pm.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake?
On the weekends, we're together the whole time. Weekdays, I'd say about 13 hours. This is, of course, when he's not deployed; then that timeline falls to zero.

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot?
I usually knot during my breaks at work (coffee breaks, lunch breaks, etc), but if I happen to pop by using my phone at nighttime, it's usually when he's showering or playing video games.

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today. How shall I tell my mom that he is a total crock of shiit next time she starts talking about how great he is?
I have no idea. I'm terrible when it comes to stuff like this. Case in point: I spent an hour going "uh-huh.....uh-huh" to my dad on the phone Saturday night while he was telling me all about the New World Order, illuminati, and all this other hoopla with the president and some 40ft tall owl statue in the woods. This was all while I was getting ready to go out on the town with Will, so I had him on speaker while I was putting on my makeup and doing my hair. Every now and then, I'd hear Will snicker in the other room. He must think my family is insane.

Rosie109 · April 2011

Are you and your H both home by 5pm every day?
Yep. He is home by 4 and I get off at 4:30 so as long as traffic is good we are together by 5.

How much time do you spend with your bf/fi/H when both of you are awake?
I wake up in the morning with him around 4:50 and lay in bed and talk to him while he is getting ready until about 5:10 so that gives us 20 minutes in the morning and then a few hours at night.. probably 5pm-8pm

What does your bf/fi/H do while you knot?
glare at me. jk, he watches tv, plays with the dog, etc. I knot at work too during which he is working as well.

And random story, but I feel like a holistic doctor man that my mom swears by is a total crock of shiit after reading his email today. How shall I tell my mom that he is a total crock of shiit next time she starts talking about how great he is?

I dunno. But my grandfather's coffee group (yes old retired guys meeting every morning at 7am for coffee) has instated this policy that if you have heard a story or something before you can raise your hand and the person has to stop telling it, so maybe try that. We do it in my family all of the time.
