Fffc? I'm going to miss pumping at the office. Not the act itself, but I loved my mini break and being able to hang out here during the day. They don't have to know you quit pumping 😉. Just pick up your bag and disappear for 20 min. Lol. Kidding...kinda. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was going to say the same thing. ha ha ha!

guster the Hemnes is the one I like. But I don't like how expensive it it. I think I found one on wayfair for a better price but I've never ordered from them before. I got H's bed on overstock and so far it is great. easy to put together, sturdy.

OMG guys...I know I haven't been around, I suck.
But if you pray, please pray for the controller at the company I work with. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 1/2 years ago, underwent chemo, had a double masectomy and a hysterectomy and went into remission. She found a lump 2 months ago and had showed her dr, who told her it was nothing. She went yesterday and pushed for a scan, which was performed this morning and she did not get good news. The scan shows a 'highly suggestive malignancy.' I'm crying, this is so unfair. It isn't fair to anyone, but twice? Fuck cancer.

I just read the most disturbing domestic violence report. Ugh. I need mind bleach for sure!
In other news, I have done very little productive work today. Not interested. I just want to go home and nap.

I was going to say the same thing. ha ha ha! Lol... me too!!! You guys are the best & the worst at the same time 😉. But according to Dutch law you're allowed to pump until your baby is 9mo, dd is 14mo. My boss has been very lenient, so I won't push it.

Morning.
I dropped M off at school. It's his last day there. I talked to him about it, but I don't think he gets it. I need to get his teachers something, but not sure what.
Hanging out with M2 until we have to pick M up later. Fun times around here...

Hi from vacation! The weather let us down for most of the day and it looks like next week isn't going to be much better, which is a shame. I'm glad we booked nice big houses and keep my fingers crossed it will get better. Made a taco dinner for my sister and already am looking forward to it. Hope you all get a good glass of wine to celebrate the start of the weekend tonight!

FFFC
I don't know if this is flamable, but @mwhips post reminded me of it. When people ask for prayers I always respond with "sending love, or good energy, or good thoughts" or something along those lines. Because I'm pretty much agnostic and I don't pray i fee hypocritical if I say I'll pray for someone, and I'm some level I'm worried by saying I'll do something I most likely won't it will put bad energy out there. But I do belief in the power of good thoughts/ energy etc. anyway, someone I wonder if people think I'm an asshole because I specifically don't respond with prayers.

nam2013 you are in Norway now right? My friend just got engaged on the Trolltunga Trail today. Yes I am! I did that hike as a kid with my parents (we took a terrifying detour, my parents are certifiably insane). Your friends fiancé picked a nice spot, the view is amazing!!!

I always take those responses as just what you said, the person doesn't pray but will be thinking about that person. It's an equally nice thing to say

Along those lines this is probably a UO more than FFFCand maybe flammable, I don't like when people know someone is agnostic or atheist and tell them they're going to pray for them.

I don't think anyone would think you were an asshole. I believe there are a lot of people that aren't religious so not everyone prays.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Meh. If we're talking about the board I say pray, good vibes, sending love to me it's all the same. I can't keep track of if someone is religious or not. Now if someone reached out and was like STOP PRAYING FOR ME, then I'd stop for sure. If we're taking about real life, I totally agree with you.

ETA: My coworker is Catholic and she always tells my boss she's praying for him. He's told her repeatedly to stop....but she doesn't. It's annoying.
