I think this needs further discussion
Rkto's post over on BOTB from yesterday: http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/47021885.aspx?MsdVisit=1
Looking past the fact she's attempting to have a baby with a guy who endangers her career, dragged his feet for years in regards to marrying her, disappeared for a number of days and was entirely unreachable for his bachelor party, and has had unexplained sparkly women's barrettes in his possession....
Well, no, let's not look past all that. WTF is she thinking? And she wants to just turkey baster herself to get knocked up rather than actually sex up her husband? Can't say I blame her there. He's probably crawling with STDs.

All of it! I recognize the name from sporadic posting here or on AFB or NEY or something, but knew none of this.
OH WAIT. THE ENDANGERING THE CAREER THING. He's a pothead, right?
And the barrettes, I vaguely remember us talking about this at the airport in October.

Where does she post? She has a high post count.
I also don't know the barrette story.
I think she resides on Money Matters now.
The barrette story was that she found a sparkly barrette (I think in his car?) and never found out its origins. I believe this discovery happened after his bachelor party where he was "camping" and out of contact for something like 4 days. I may need to call in reinforcements to give the exact details.

I think he had convinced her that the barrette belonged to a coworker and we were all, "dude, he's a lawyer, his coworkers probably aren't sporting sparkly barrettes."
They also failed to file taxes for like 4 years.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Forget the back story. I just vomited a little in my mouth from the thought of sperm in a cup in my fridge.
I can only imagine some poor soul visiting and thinking it's mayo or salad dressing.
And further in the post, the reason she is considering this is because when she gets home, he is already sleeping?!
GET HIS ASS UP!
If he is too lazy to wake up to impregnate you, my guess is he is not going to be a very good father.

I love that thread! I do remember all of this but I never associated any one posted with that stuff.
LUGGAGE SCALE!!

FOR REAL. And, being the Bump, I'm really surprised no one has posted a "whoa is me, my H is in the military" story.

She posts on MM all the time. She has had a LOT of drama there lately, including something about her now-husband wanting to buy a BMW on a whim and she was struggling to convince him otherwise. She posted her budget, thinking they would oooh and ahh over it, and it turns out she's in credit card debt to the tune of $30k or so and can't account for about $4k worth of income every month.
I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but can certainly find the good posts if anyone is interested.

She deleted the budget post but at least part of it is cached.

OH and the BMW thing. They were deciding whether they should get a Civic or a BMW. Because that makes sense.
I have a Civic. I love that car a whole lot. But I was not making a decision between it and a BMW.

Ugh, rkto aside, that post makes me roll my eyes. "Car payment=FAIL" Oh, STFU. Some of us don't really have a choice in the matter. Jesus.

Seriously. There is a lot of good advice on MM but there are also a lot of people who insist that being completely debt free and spending $250 a month on groceries is completely feasible for everyone. It's not.

This one is where she admits to changing the amount of wedding gifts based on what the bride and groom "offer" (i.e. open vs. cash bar, afternoon vs. evening reception):

This is about her parents' will: if she dies before they do, then her husband thinks they should leave HIM an inheritance:
http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/43997309.aspx
She has literally HUNDREDS of threads she has started...these aren't the best, but they should hold you over until I find the good ones (she has DD'd a couple, so I hope the good ones are still out there!)
Yesss, thanks SB! That's the one I was thinking of. It came on the heels of her deciding "which $3000 watch to buy her husband." A $3000 watch he ASKED her to buy him.
Thanks to the bump forgetting that any of us would want any sort of privacy, here are all of her posts that haven't been deleted. Have fun.

1. WTF?? Aren't DWs generally just for very close family? I mean, isn't that the POINT of having a DW?
2. WhoTF gives such a weird amount for a wedding like $160? Does she have a sliding scale card in her checkbook? An app that calculates it for her? Stick to $25 or $50 increments, weirdo.
