All you guys who are saying "she put on just the right amount of weight during pregnancy".....uh yeah don't go sharing that with any females you're interested in continuing to be friends with. I think if you're going to bear all the burdens of bringing crotchfruit into the world, you can slam a few fucking ho-hos during the process if you're in the mood. Having done nothing more than donated some semen, :stfu:
:sass: :tits: :midol: :fatty:

of course I wouldn't share that with most people

[notjoking]

But with my wife / inner circle
:stfu:

Life is about balance and treating pregnancy like a free pass to get fat eating shit food is simply not taking care of either the baby OR yourself. And that should be socially shamed. And we probably shouldn't be friends if we don't agree.

Luckily the tickets were refundable, so she cancelled the flight, booked the new seats and 5 minutes later re-selected our original seats.

:fuckyeah: $1000 saved that can go towards the JL Rubicon or the Hawaii flight in June.

Never known anyone who actually books first class seats with money. Nashville is 5/7, IMO.
We always do.

I don't want to risk not getting an upgrade and having to sit in cattle-class.

Me?

FUCK NO.

Our flight is from SFO to Nashville and back on Virgin. The last time I flew SW was probably 10 years ago on a flight from San Jose to Vegas and never again.

I don't really like them either... Just was curious since you were able to cancel like that. I normally fly AA due to living in Charlotte, they never allow cancellation.

I think they allowed the cancellation because how expensive the tickets were. The original price was $2,904 for two seats round trip which I think was due to the fact that we are going exactly when March Madness is going on there, March 16th.

Getting major red flags from a potential client...

So far she has been the type that instead of pulling together her thoughts in one cohesive email, she will email me five times in a row all with different thoughts.

We had a 10:00 am scheduled this morning about 45 minutes north of me. The roads in Indy were absolute shit due to ice. They shut down our main highway between at least twice and were diverting.

I emailed at 6:30 am requesting a reschedule.

Had nothing by 8:00 so I texted her. Got not response.

Called her at 8:15 and left a message telling her to call me when she got it and we would reschedule.

At 9:15 am she emails me back saying no problem then calls me while I'm responding to her immediately insisting that today was the only good day for her and that they would come south to me for 11:00 am. Ok, fine.

She sends me a text at 10:30 saying they're leaving. For a 45 minute trip on a good day. I check traffic reports and everything is still FUBAR.

It's now 11:20 and they still aren't here.

I promised myself I'd pay attention to these red flags this year and not take difficult brides.

Can I leave??

Traffic was extra heavy this morning. I made the decision to take a carpool exit to shave off ~5 minutes so I wouldn't be as late to work. Got popped by a bike cop at the bottom of the exit. Lost those five minutes and it'll probably cost me about $500. Ouch. Lesson learned.

Yup. Carpool lane tickets are about $500-1,000.

Posted signs here say minimum fine is $471. Hoping when I go to court the judge will be lenient and lower it a bit, or at least just slap me with the minimum.
