And then there’s the rule about not hanging freshly washed baby clothes outside—unless you hang them upside down instead? Or those red strings tied around a baby's wrists and ankles to ward off bad luck? Not to mention how strangers aren't even supposed to look at the infant until they've been baptized?
I won't even get started on the whole "no hair washing for 40 days after birth" thing. 😁
All of this happening in the 21st century on Maui. 🙂

The other day, my mother-in-law actually grabbed my belly and started kissing it 😲 I was honestly just frozen in shock 🙂
It’s really getting to me that this pregnancy is being so much harder than the first one—I'm constantly overheating, running to the bathroom every five minutes, and now I've got a five-year-old son who still needs constant attention.
I feel old. 🙂

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.🙈

I’d rather deal with someone else than the person who allowed this kind of advertising on the forum 🙂 Honestly, every single page and thread is just cluttered with ads that the forum owner is raking in massive amounts of cash from. As a serious entrepreneur and an American, I don't see any of that being reinvested back into us—instead, we get a server that crashes the moment 165 people log on and pop-up ads hitting me every time I open the homepage. You’re doing a fantastic job, forum owner 🤦

I'm looking for a decent gynecologist
Male or female, doesn't matter. Somewhere in Washington, D.C., preferably near a subway station. I'm pregnant and my current doctor is a total disaster.

Some people can’t even watch a show without getting worked up over the teasers for the next episode. Personally, thank God I’m a little slow because I rarely catch on to those things, but since CNN works so hard to make their previews incredibly obvious, some folks pick up on it immediately. Then they feel this unbearable urge to bring it up at least ten times in a single thread. Honestly, I just don't get it 😕. On top of that, they start linking articles, posting images, or using white text—which, by the way, means nobody can actually read it. It's just mindless. Then you have a few lunatics register (like that Unknown person or whatever her name is) who openly admit they’re just bored at work, so they proceed to spam and troll ten pages with two-sentence posts (of course, the "edit" button is basically science fiction to them).
Obviously, people aren't going to talk exclusively about cooking, since it's a reality show where you naturally develop feelings for or against the contestants, but obsessing over whether the food in the next episode is seasoned correctly? That's a bit much for me.

Look, I’m really not one of those people who spends all day tearing through different subreddits just to complain that a moderator didn't delete or ban someone within five seconds, but what's happening in the MasterChef thread has finally pushed me over the edge 😳 and I am, you know, a pretty peaceful person 🙂
For several weeks now, on this thread, someone has been relentlessly posting spoilers about who gets eliminated and who will ultimately win, even though the title explicitly says spoilers are banned. Everyone in the thread is already assuming it's the same person constantly creating new accounts just to ruin the show for everyone else. Can't we just issue a permanent ban or something so this person is completely blocked from posting in this thread?
Secondly, if the moderators are interested, the last 15 pages have been so full of trolling and fighting that I actually felt nauseous while reading 🙄
For example:

I get the feeling modern gastronomy is following the path of the gay revolution. Tiny, overly decorated little bites meant for old ladies.

link. And then, naturally, come the replies to that post where everyone systematically attacks anyone who goes off-topic.
I'm looking at the TV network's site right now; they have five or six moderators, so is ambermason16 really the only one responsible for this thread? Can't anyone else step in and do something?

Anyway, hopefully someone actually listens to me 🙂

I ended up ordering my cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes, since they’re honestly the only ones I've found that actually impress me with their selection..
here's a photo of what it's supposed to look like 🙂

just keep in mind mine won't have any of that fondant—I can't stand it. I much prefer a cake where everything is actually edible.

* $130 02/01 - 03/17/2010 ($113 with a discount for T-Mobile customers)
* $147 03/18 - 05/05/2010 ($130 with a discount for T-Mobile customers)
* $163 05/06 - 06/22/2010 ($147 with a discount for T-Mobile customers)

• T-Mobile customers can get a discount of $17 by reserving a ticket via text message (send a blank message to 2255). You'll need to show the confirmation text when you buy the ticket.

• Students, regardless of their carrier, can purchase tickets for $97 by presenting a valid student ID during the promotional period from 02/01 - 03/17/2010 or while supplies last. Ticket quantities are limited.

Hey, do I get an extra $97 off those $17 if I send the text?

silverscout91 said:Their pastries are honestly delicious, though I suppose they are quite pricey.

I know they aren't cheap. I was actually planning on just ordering the wedding cake from them and picking up the rest of the desserts at a local bakery over in Columbus. I tried some of their treats last year, but I’m really curious if anyone here has experience with their wedding cakes. Specifically, are they easy to work with, or are they the type to half-listen to your requests and then just do whatever they want anyway?

Reposting this since it got buried under a mountain of photos 😉

Donna Wood52 said:OB-GYNs also get turned on when a young, attractive woman comes in for an exam. No matter how hard they try to keep things strictly medical, there’s still sexuality involved. I’m not saying everyone is like that—some doctors just plain dislike women and prefer performing procedures without any anesthesia, while others might have had some awkward encounters. But logically, there have to be those who are secretly horny. 😁

Sorry, but this is pure nonsense. Like, if a young girl walks in, gets on the table, and turns out to have a yeast infection or something even grosser... what, are they suddenly aroused?
Doctors are trained to look at the human body; to them, it's just anatomy. At least for the vast majority, though there are always exceptions.
Someone above made a good point: how do you ladies actually know your OB-GYN isn't a lesbian? Maybe she gets excited when you show up naked for an exam? Has that ever crossed your mind? 😁

Alex Patel96 said:I’ve been seeing a female gynecologist for years and I honestly have zero complaints. 🙏 But I would never go to a man. It just feels wrong to me. I feel totally relaxed with a woman, whereas being with a man would make me die of embarrassment!🙂 God, that would be even worse than being assaulted!🤣

I just don't get how some women feel comfortable in front of a man.😕😕😕

Gosh 🙄

I've never felt uncomfortable, except maybe the very first time, but now it's no big deal. 😁 I actually see a male gynecologist, and besides, all I ever see is the speculum anyway—gender doesn't matter to me at all, whether it's gynecology or any other medical field.

Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction

It’s a similar vibe to that teen thriller role Cruel Intentions played by the young and gorgeous Sarah Michelle Gellar

Justin Jackson83 said:The announcement claims they're coming back because they have such a huge fanbase here in the States🤣

Who even is this Kiril guy?
Does he have some massive following in America too?

I’m predicting maybe 100 people at the show
Maybe a few more if I heard correctly that they're handing out free tickets everywhere

Who is Kiril??? 😲 😲
Here link just read it, the guy is awesome!!

Oldboy ☕

Hey, so I've been dealing with dark circles—specifically those purple hollows under my eyes—for about two years now. It's not even the classic puffy bags; it's just these deep purple shadows that won't budge, even though I get plenty of sleep, sometimes even too much. 😁
Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of them? Because thanks to these things, I look like I haven't slept in ten days.
