Either.

37 - BASE jumping or dentist?

I don't have a fear or dread of the dentist--not that it's my favorite--and I believe in the value of maintaining good oral health.

I also like thrill-seek-y stuff.  I've gone rappelling and sky-diving, so why not BASE jumping.  It would probably scare the piddle right out of me, but I'd still do it.

So I'll go to the dentist 2x a year, and go BASE jumping when someone else pays for it (and comes with me).

No.

But I will happily deal with their shit once they are teenagers and they hate you.

You're right, it could have been worse.

I was pregnant when we went to BH’s 20th. I had to be in a social situation with strangers sober. Do not recommend.

I can't even imagine.

I’m so excited to see how they start acting when they can feel porkchop start moving! I had 24/7 feline guards then. :)

Funny you should mention that. While I was settling up with the vet tech, a big black fluffy dog came in and Beau was totally calm and Dasha was growling and barking up a storm! The tech said "It might be that they're extra protective now with the pregnancy."

So, hunh. I guess they do know!

This could be an expensive job. ;)

Yes, it could. I consider a test of my wantpower. (Because right now I will have all of the yarn in the shop. My coworkers tell me that feeling passes though.)

No you aren’t. You deserve adult time. Let their husbands take care of the babies. Yeah right.

I apologize on behalf of my people. I know in my case, I hear myself doing it and am screaming DON’T TALK BABIES inside my brain, but the baby verbal diarrhea continues because I have lost ability to conversation.

This is pretty much the bane of the child-free people…and it doesn’t go away, I’m sorry to say. You’ll get really adept at steering the conversation away from baby talk!

I feel your pain.

It's not even that I don't like kids or anything like that -- you guys know how much I love my niecelings and nephews -- but it's never like this when I'm with any other group of friends who have kids.

And I get it, they are new, first-time moms, and that's a big deal for them and all, and I really don't mind when it's one of the topics of conversation, but when it's the only thing they want to focus on it makes me crazy.

I think a lot of it is that it's particularly IM who does it. She does it purposely because she's an inconsiderate attention seeker. When it's just been HH, and RS (HH is due in a few weeks, RS is trying) the topic comes up, naturally. We have questions, ask how everything is going, normal things, and then we move on, talk about stuff that is going on with everyone else and maybe circle back to it, but it's never the prime focus for the entire evening.

With IM though, it's like she relishes it because she knows she can dominate conversations even more so, now. Like, last night, the 4 single ones in the group, Agnes, myself, MG and LK separated ourselves a few times (we were at LK's new place, which is small, so we were still in the same room essentially, just off to the side from the baby brains) just so we could focus on something else. AND, what pissed me off the most was at one point, the baby got really fussy and was wailing really loudly while LK and I were talking and it was hard to hear any conversation, but IM just let him wail, rather than take him to another room or see if he needed feeding or changing or something. And, I can't help feeling IM was slow about reacting to it on purpose because god forbid that she and the baby not be the centre of attention at all times.

The best example of this (and the same thing happened last night) is the last time we played CAH at my place, IM showed up late (she was still pregnant at the time) and we were already in the middle of the game. As soon as IM showed up, she refused to play, started talking about their pregnancies with HH and derailed the whole game. She said it was fine for us to continue playing, but anytime it was Agnes' turn she would talk over Agnes about pregnancy stuff. This is typical shit when she's around. It's just very frustrating and I feel like a total bitch because I'm the only one who says anything about it.

Sorry, this went way longer than I intended for it to.

My list is pretty long - the supernatural shows like SPN, violent shows, crime procedurals… SVU is particularly bad for me. Only comedies and musicals percent my brain from going to the darkest timeline

Yeah, I can see how SVU would be bad. 

Nighttime sounds like a great time to watch something like The Nanny then. That was the first thing I marathoned when we got netflix.

bardowlatry replied to your post: Guess what episode I'm on?

Oooh, that’s a good one. I am still working on the assumption that I will be sleeping soon, so I need to watch comedy. Supernatural = demonic monster nightmares.

Supernatural (general, not the show) stuff usually doesn't give me nightmares if I watch before bed. Stuff like Luther and Hannibal do, however.
