Mother in Law is here.

She is great...... in small doses.

God help me.

May the Force be with you. Hang on to that bourbon... your sanity depends on it

FKUING COMCAST.

Sooooo..... here I come home last night, having had the day from hellll, and try to relax and watch _________ (show name to embarrassing, and NO, it's not a reality show) and bua-ha! I DO NOT HAVE THE EFFING CHANNEL.

Hence, after bickering with the remote for a while (Bren counted 2 hours, but he's ) I phone Comcast. Turns out that after 6 months of service, the chopfkucs realized "you should not be getting that channel" AZZHOLEZ. Since when? ARGHHHHHHH.

So, I overdosed on cherry cordial ice cream. That's that.

End of rant.

They're nothing if not Comcrapstic. Just because you like watching Canoga Park doesn't make you a freak, it's all that other stuff. Your brother knows nothing about cable television or how to rip it off, not a thing.

autumnchik,

Sorry to her that you have been having some memory fog - a friend of mine referred to it as her 'sometimers'. Just a thought - babies take a lot of physical energy out of their mother's bodies as they themselves grow. Could it be that your 'fog' is nutritionally based? That there is some level of nutrient or micro-nutrient that you are short of right now because it is supplying the baby's needs? It might be something to investigate and see if taking supplemental amounts of certain minerals or vitamins might help so that you don't go short.

That is a good idea. I am going to see my doctor on Wednesday and will ask him. I do take prenatal vitamins, but it does seem like the memory fog has gotten much worse in the last 2 weeks ... I wonder if it IS something I am not getting. Thanks for suggesting that

I hope it's nothing serious but the only thing that comes to mind is gestational diabetes. It can sometimes produce the mental fog that you complain of and can progress as the pregnancy progresses and the hormone levels change. It frequently is worse in the third trimester and a sudden drop in blood glucose can be a signal that the foetus is getting ready to show. I'm sure you'll find out on Wednesday and, if it is gestational diabetes, it can easily be treated and is only a transient condition. Of course, the alternative is that your baby is really a brain sucking alien.

Hahaha! I am actually leaning toward the brain sucking alien actually

I did have the gestational diabetes test last month and it was negative, thankfully.

BTW, thanks everyone for advice and responses ... and thanks Crikey for reminding me this will get worse!!!

The memory fog is still here ... because I forgot to come back and read responses on this thread until now!

Awww Stace, drink a couple shots for me ... and remember, this too shall pass How long is MIL there for?

Good thing the alien hasn't taken your sense of humour. Crikey is right, it will indeed continue to get much worse, at least until the baby reaches 18.

Tell me about it. I live with one of those at the moment!

Just think of the end of the road, carry a small flask with you at all times... and dance when she's gone. That's my advice

That reminds me of the time I used to work on an IT helpdesk. There was this one lady in HR named Betty Reade who had wind whistling through her head due to the wide open spaces. She used to drive us absolutely bonkers, and we would fight over who'd answer the phone whenever her extension popped up. One day one of my co-workers had a complete meltdown after a Betty Reade incident. So the next day I brought in an old prescription bottle filled with tic-tacs, and a label on it which read "To be taken in case of Betty Reade emergency" or some such nonsense, and handed it to her the next time she took her call. It's the little things.

[SpiritAlight 1]

Alien space babies?!

Hahaha!

Okay, I have a vent:

The Dog.

Does anyone here want an aging, muddy, smelly, shedding, lovable golden retriever?

I would trade him for the trouble a hundred feral cats would give me.

I am an animal person to a point...and I have come to realize that I cannot live with a dog.

He is like a horse and a pig all wrapped into one.

And he is truly lovable.

I am just a clean freak.

sigh.........

This is one of my many stressors.

Oh, a dog! Although it sounds almost as fun as alien babies you can strike me off your list of possibilities.

[SpiritAlight 1]

Waaaaaaahhhh

snif snif

:crying: :crying:

[SpiritAlight 1]

PS Thanks for that rabbit close up Crikey! I love it and it makes me smile.

Now back to finishing the doggie rant:

How am I supposed to find an apartment downtown with a huge animal?

Cats and small dogs allowed only in most places that do accept pets.

Am I destined to live in this void of culture waste land aka the burbs forever????

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I must be being punished for my negative attitude as of late.

sigh....

And that's one of the reason we will never have dogs.... or live in the burbs. I'm pretty sure both B et moi would die a slow painful where'sthebookstoreandthemuseum death.
