My FFFC is that I don't like it when people post on FB "Please pray, God knows the need". I feel like they are just AWing, trying for attention. Everyone responds asking if they are ok and wanting to know what's going on.
I live in an area where religion runs deep. That's the first question people you meet ask..."where do you go to church". We are Catholic, but currently don't go very often. It's just too hard with S. Poor excuse I know, but it is what it is. And catholic is not the thing to be around here. It's almost looked down upon.

I have another...I wasn't planning on going to this funeral. I'm so far behind at work. So I just wore a navy shirt, skinny jeans and flats to work. I'm going to be that one person at every funeral, who wears jeans, and people talk about. I don't even care...I just want to hug my friends and let them know I'm here for them. But I always side eye the funeral jean wearer. I've never paid attention to what people are wearing at funerals.

mwhip currently drinking wine from a box. We couldn't bring tons of bottles on our trip and wine is extremely expensive over here.

But I always side eye the funeral jean wearer. I live in redneck country...jeans are a regular at funerals. It took a bit for me to get used to. Seeing people in bib overalls at a funeral just seemed so odd...but people here don't care. It's all about paying your respects and being there to support loved ones.

+1 and this is another reason I love BIL's girl friend. Out to dinner last night we're both agonizing over having to decide on a reasonable amount of food to order since we want everything. So we each order 2 apps as a meal and split them. It was the best. This is why I like tapas restaurants. Loooove tapas. Dh and I do tapas night at home on Friday most weeks, olives, cheese, some meats, salad, nice bread etc.

THANK YOU nam2013, I knew I couldn't be the ONLY box wine drinker! :-) And tgrimes I hope there are more people like you today than are like me. Except I'll know 5 people there today, so I'm not that worried. I think usually people are so consumed with grief and finding comfort, they are like you and don't notice what people I wearing. I'm socially awkward, even more so at funerals, so I notice weird shit to take my mind off what is going on. I try to make jokes at the wrong time...I'm getting better about keeping my mouth shut!

lfig both sides of my family were farmers. So yes to the bib overalls at funerals. And at least one set at most weddings.

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. I hated actually pumping at work, but I do notice it's much harder for me to keep up here now that I stopped. It was like 2 forced breaks for me every day

Everyone responds asking if they are ok and wanting to know what's going on. I agree that just sounds like they're attention seeking. A lot of my old HS acquaintances on FB seem to be drama queens and are constantly posting cryptic messages on FB looking for attention. Then they never tell people what the problem is. Instead they'll respond to like one person's comment with "I'll pm you." WTF, if it's private then why post anything in the first place?!

tgrimes, do you look at a menu before going out to decide what you'll get before you go? I do that constantly.

Pete is taking Atticus to a horror movie convention tomorrow with his best friend and son who is 5.
Dude is just going to think it's a big Halloween party so we're letting him pick out a costume tonight.
For once, I am happy to see Costco has Halloween items in early August.

Vague- booking on FB is so annoying. I feel like most people have stopped doing it, or my friends don't actually post as much anymore, mostly news now for me.
That black box of wine is pretty good. No shame here, it lasts much longer and cheap. We may have had a box of wine with us at the hospital this spring.
We are going live with a project tonight/tomorrow, so MH is picking up the kids and going to the new class orientation. No plans after tomorrow morning though for the weekend, which I'm okay with.

Hello from the hotel! Cadence walked in and asked where the living room was and why it was only a bedroom. Well, excuse me Princess, didn't realize you needed a suite!
The drive was long, but we got here before check-in so we went to a park to melt for awhile. So hot and gross. Now I don't want to move, but I'll probably need to feed the child soon.

Gravel is down! I can drive my car on the driveway! And they left the keys in the loader so A is riding the boys around and playing in the gravel lol. My dad's been stock piling gravel all year for us as a house warming gift.

Fffc that menu that tgrimes posted is way too fancy for me. If I went to that restaurant I'd have no idea what to eat.

Last night Pete was in the phone with a friend and they talked sports for a few minutes, then cats. For about an hour, he was going on and on about Sinny and his friend was talking about his own cats.
Times change...
