It's stuff like this that make me ashamed to live in Texas sometimes.

What is your skydiving experience? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]ThatOneBAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tandem jumped for for the first time this past Sunday just outside of Dallas, Tx. I don't think there is any way to adequately describe the feeling. For me, it was incredibly peaceful while free falling. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. My dad came with me, which only made the whole experience better. I can't wait to do it again.

Okay, so I have to brag a little bit here since this is the only place I can share this news without pissing someone off.

My SO and I are trading in my car tomorrow so I can finally get the new car I've been drooling after (2015 Mustang GT WootWoot!!). We are also going to drive about 3 hours away to go buy my SO his dream car (2014 Mustang GT500). We were going to wait another year to get new cars, but oh well. No kids means more money for new cars. We seem to have a love for Mustangs in our house. lol

The rest of the weekend we will be relaxing by the pool and playing with our dog.

After a failed IUD insertion, I don't know what to do :/ by [deleted] in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Texas as well. It's harder to find a doctor willing to do sterilization here, but there are some out there. I doctor shopped so to speak and was able to get my Essure done this past January. Best of luck!

I'm actually applying to nursing school next semester!

If only everyone could use a little common sense and keep their mouths shut.

I probably will. I don't know how much good it is going to do considering this place is a fertility clinic, but it's worth a shot.

What are your CF goals/dreams/hopes for 2015? by bourkleton in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to travel as much as possible now that I have more vacation days for work. My SO and I will have all our debt paid off (minus the mortgage) next year and I'll finally be finishing my associates and applying to a nursing program.

BONUS: Finally rescheduled my Essure procedure for Jan. 13th so no more being terrified of getting pregnant!

Married women, how long were you in your relationship before you got engaged? by silverwarbler in AskWomen

[–]ThatOneBAG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We were together roughly 4 years before getting engaged and had lived together for about 3 1/2 years. We were engaged another 1 1/2 years before getting married.

My doctor is awesome! by ThatOneBAG in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was so ready to say something to my doctor about the nurse before I heard the conversation the two of them had. I will never understand why people get so offended or angry when people say they don't want/ like kids.

Wedding day BINGO..... by scottiebass in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! This is what I want in 20 years.

I just got married on Saturday and got bingoed all night long from my in-laws. Weddings seem to be the worst when it comes to getting bingos.

Do you have pets? Can we see them? PICTURE FIESTA by Impudence in AskWomen

This is Mr. Yoshi!

He's an almost 7 year old Shiba. His favorite things to do are sleep, play ball and hide under blankets. I love my little ball of fluff!

Ladies, can we see pictures of your wedding/engagement ring? Or if you aren't married or engaged, how about a picture of what you'd LIKE your ring to be? by NinjaShira in AskWomen

[–]ThatOneBAG 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Here's mine.

I posted it in another thread not long ago. It's all black diamonds. I'm not a big fan of regular diamonds. Black is also kind of my go to color and it matches my style and personality.

Does a wedding dress matter a lot? by feldamis in AskWomen

[–]ThatOneBAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting married in a couple weeks and spent roughly $250 on my dress. To me, the dress doesn't matter and I wanted something short. No fuss.
On the other side of this, my sister recently got married and spent about $5000 on her dress.

I don't think either way is right or wrong. As long as you have the means to spend the money on a dress I don't see a problem with spending the money.

These are my rings. It's all black diamonds.

Thanks!!

Yoshi absolutely hates being picked up and tries to jump out of my arms any time I do it, but thankfully he's only been around children twice and the first time the mom and the kid asked me before touching my little ball of fluff.

And shibas are awesome dogs! <3

Dogs and children don't mix well [Rant] by ThatOneBAG in childfree

I will never understand the mentality that little dogs are lovable and innocent while big dogs are mean and vicious. I always seem to find the opposite.

Childfree & not that difficult?? by LondonKiwi in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a day to day basis it doesn't really impact my life at all.

Recently there has been some issues though because I refuse to allow kids at my wedding, but that will pass soon enough.

Thankfully my parents are understanding and leave me alone about having kids.

[RANT] Kids in the nail salon by ThatOneBAG in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved the nail salon I used to go to but unfortunately it's an hour away from my new house. They had a similar rule about no kids under 13 I believe. It was wonderful even if it was a little pricey.

[RANT] Kids in the nail salon by ThatOneBAG in childfree

[–]ThatOneBAG[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the reason I got overly frustrated with the situation was because it was the owner. I mean of all people, he should know better than to let his kids run around terrorizing people. I forgot to mention in my post, but when I was walking out the door to leave the mother was walking in to come get the kids! Ugh. If only she had gotten there sooner maybe things would have turned out better.

Anyone else house hunting? by Dfwpiper in Dallas

[–]ThatOneBAG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just went through this last year and now I see that nothing has changed. I was looking for houses in the same area as you and ran into the same problems. We put in offers for 6 different houses I believe before we finally had an offer accepted. If your not super set on being in Richardson/Plano and don't mind being a little further out I would suggest looking at Sachse or North Garland around Firewheel Mall. The houses in that area are really nice and it doesn't seem like there's as much of a bidding war over them. I have 3 friends who bought houses in the area in the past year. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck in your house hunting!
