I have maintained for quite some time that Grandmas should probably be kept at a distance from the rest of civilized society.
Honestly, being in their immediate vicinity makes my skin crawl.😵

Take my experience at Target earlier today. I was there with a half-full basket—nothing major, just the essentials. I’ve got everything lined up on the conveyor belt, minding my own business, when suddenly this elderly woman comes charging toward me, panting like she just ran a marathon. She looks at me and asks, "Excuse me, dear, I only have this head of lettuce, could I possibly go ahead of you?" I mean, honestly, give me strength.
It was just a single head of lettuce worth maybe 4 dollars,$1.75 but then she pulls out a handful of nickels and pennies,
and I literally sat there for ten minutes while the cashier struggled to count every single cent. And meanwhile, I'm standing there, ready to pay,
and I swear, if I hadn't suppressed a massive surge of pure aggression right then, I would have lost it completely.
What kind of logic is that? It truly escapes my comprehension.🤦

I suspect there’s some sort of superstition floating around regarding touching a pregnant belly,
something along the lines of "touch the bump for good luck" to ensure nothing goes wrong with the mother 😬
Honestly, I can't wrap my head around what people actually expect to gain from such a gesture. Is it supposed to be some kind of spiritual epiphany?

I keep running into this while out shopping; I get the impression some folks might actually bow down to me—just because they're so enamored by the sight of a pregnant belly,
yet then there are patients who look at me with pure disdain. Perhaps it's because I still carry myself with the aura of a teenager😬

But truly, human stupidity knows no bounds,
especially when you catch a glimpse of two grown adults whispering and pointing their fingers... Their level of sophistication is about as high as a cheap chemical additive.🤦

Chris Mitchell4, your dear man has clearly watched way too many Hollywood movies 😬
The whole family shows up, the wife screams twice, squeezes three times, and boom—there's the baby.
It’s as if those films were scripted by people with the mental capacity of a goldfish..

I had my own ridiculous moment,
A friend of mine drops by, reaches out toward my stomach, and asks if she can touch. I let her.
She stays silent for a few seconds before asking, with this completely deadpan expression, "Is everything okay? Nothing's moving?!" As if... why on earth would anything be moving right now??
😲
Good grief, I really shouldn't have been so accommodating. How am I supposed to explain to her that there isn't some little hamster running on a wheel inside my abdomen all day long 🙂

Edward Ramos72, my regards to you🙏

Since my baby bump is now quite impossible to ignore, the neighborhood grandmas have started taking notice. Just yesterday, I was out front aimlessly sweeping the driveway with a broom,
and wouldn't you know it, one of those local busybodies comes sprinting across the street
clutching her hair and shrieking like it's the end of days.
I just stopped and stared at her, wondering what on earth was so wrong.
"Sweetheart, please, just sit down! Why are you out there cleaning with a broom?" 🙄
I told her, quite plainly, that pregnancy isn't some debilitating illness; it's simply a state of being. She got all flustered and gave me some "well, I wish you the best" nonsense... fine, whatever. So what am I supposed to do? Lie in a coffin and wait for the delivery? 🙂

I attended a wedding recently—I was right in the middle of the dance floor, not sitting down for a single second. People were staring at me from every angle as if I were out there chopping wood in the yard. 🙄

I have two acquaintances, both seven months along. Everything seems perfectly normal, textbook even. We decided to grab coffee, but the cafe had about six steps leading up to the entrance. They both just froze, looking at me as if I’d suggested we hike the Great Wall of China. As if! They started lecturing me about how it wasn't "healthy."
Honestly, I wanted to tell them to get lost since they've already turned into old biddies themselves.
There are certainly awful people out there, but seeing what some pregnant women turn into—and I'm talking about perfectly healthy pregnancies—is truly terrifying. 🤦

That works; just reach out to Nice.
Though, if you ask me, sticking with either Mrvica M or mrvica m—without the hyphen—is actually a much cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing way to go. 🙂

To wrap this up,
my issue remains unresolved.
I sent two separate messages over to Nice—the first back on December 13th and the second on January 14th—and I haven't heard a peep. What's the next move?

The asterisk is considered a special character, so that won't work.

Jerry Hughes74 said:Honestly, it drives me absolutely insane when my in-laws keep lecturing me about how I’m wasting money on baby gear and all this little stuff... they act like we’re just going to magically have everything ready the second the kid arrives. Like, yeah, right.
So, what am I supposed to do until then? Just conjure her out of thin air using some kind of magic trick? 🙂

🤣
It’s always the same meddling—questioning who’s buying what, why, or if it's even necessary.
Good grief, my folks are just starting with this nonsense. 🤦
People can be incredibly exhausting!

The best advice I can give you is to guard your peace. And no, before you ask, I’m not going skydiving or looking to pick up any habits; I'm perfectly fine as I am.🙂
