Random Thoughts V

[ImJustKCClone]

Had a dream last night that Dh made us both dr appointments and I was mad because I don't have to go for like three years or something. (I think this came from Dh telling me last night he had a dentist appt today)
So I'm there and this doc is like "are you sure you aren't pregnant?" And I'm like yeah, pretty sure. Well he's like I'd like you to take a pregnancy test anyway. So I do. Now mind you, I've never seen one IRL so my dream made this all up. After like a minute, it bounced around a percentage of pregnant/not pregnant. The final percentage was like 55% not pregnant, 45% pregnant.

That'd be kinda neat if that's how they worked.

Granted, it has been a while...but I'm pretty sure it's an all or nothing determination.

Idk if I'm ready for children yet.

you'll figure it out

I'm just trying to figure out how someone could be 45% pregnant.

have you ever seen those weigh ins on shows like the Biggest Loser where the number bounces around before settling? That's what it did. So it'd be like 60% pregnant, 10% not pregnant, it was really weird, haha. Yeah, the commercials tell me it's a yes or no thing. I think the % was more of a accuracy thing. Like based on your hcg levels, the test is 55% sure you are not pregnant.

think it was more how certain the test was. Like a 55% chance of snow.

Shoveling the heavy snowfalls is so bad for your back. You may want to consider getting a thrower now. I guess I didn't get one until I was 30 so you may be OK.

Like NW said, "2 stage is good." It's really helpful for after the plow comes by and dumps all the snow from the street onto the end of your driveway. I bought a 24" and wish I had gotten one that is a bit bigger.

Meh, just pace yourself. Took me decades to learn this. Shoveling is not a race.

The last couple of years I haven't even fired the blower(s) up. They just sit in the garage like this picture from last winter.

we'll figure it out

Yeah we will!

 

[cowgirl836]

Yeah we will!

there is no "we".

There is DH and myself

and you and your hand or some poor girl, IDK.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

this is how rumors get started.


Also, I think a couple people at work may suspect this. I went to an after work thing Tuesday and just had water (and turned down a free beer). I did this because I'm not a big beer person and with the holidays approaching, I know I'll be getting plenty of extra calories.

Anyway, shortly after I made that comment about sticking to water, one of them said something about all the people at our company with babies. I thought dammit, they think I'm pregnant now, ha. They'll figure out I'm not eventually, I suppose.

Girl whose job involves getting cows knocked up; doesn't fully know how human pregnancies work.

Ouch. That was harsh.

It's true. She's a freak. And I like it.

I wonder if the advertisers know that a huge portion of this site's traffic is derived from a half dozen people talking to each other. Or, maybe the random thoughts people are just really good customers at Fareway and Heartland Flags?

Somebody gotta make this site free.

Sometimes blunt force is necessary.

I kind of wonder if any of the 20-something folk have ever heard "the rabbit died"?

How many of those threads started three months ago though? While I'm sure it's still high, you've got to look at posts per day, not overall posts. Gameday threads destroy this one in daily traffic. In fact, many threads created during game days destroy this in posts per day. Heck, some of Angie's Friday OT threads do too.
