The hurty-boobs pregnancy thing is no joke. No. Joke.
Oh, ow :(
- Jennifer Dittrich
Apparently it gets worse as time goes by. The first three months have been kinda low grade sore and more ultra-sensitive. All of the sudden this week it is like OW DONT TOUCH ME EVEN THE SHOWER HURTS!!!!!
- Mary Carmen
And I never had sore boobs as a PMS symptom, so this is totally new to me. I basically Google ever new ache and pain and weirdness. "XYZ while pregnant" and I am amazed at all the things that happen. Hormones are crazy. Like right now my body is in process of increasing my blood volume by 50%. This means peeing all the time, limbs feeling like they weigh 200 pounds each and exhaustion. WTF? How do people do this 10 times?!?!?!?
- Mary Carmen
You just wait - after the kid is born? I nearly duct taped mine together to keep them from moving at all, it hurt so bad when they did. I did sleep in a bra that was as sturdy as cast iron, though, because otherwise - ouch!
- WebGoddess
I just upgraded to maternity bras....these things are complicated.
- Mary Carmen
Get at least one that is a cup size bigger than you are now and built like an iron maiden. That will be the one you sleep in while your milk is coming in. It makes a big difference!!
- WebGoddess
Tmi, but I went up 4 sizes from pre-preg to nursing bras... But I feed twins. And whoa yeah discomfort at 3-4 mo is nothing compared to the first few weeks after... But you should have some time btwn now and then when it's better.
- Christina Pikas

There's a gazillion weird things that happen. At one point I started getting PUPPP (it's a thing!), and I took some weird folk remedy and got rid of it. DO NOT read "What to Expect When You're Expecting." I liked uplifting stuff like Ina May Gaskin.
- Laura Norvig
from iPhone
I don't want to Google PUPPP do I?
- Mary Carmen
Aw man. Too late.
- Mary Carmen
What was the folk remedy and did it work??????
- Mary Carmen
I don't like when boobs are in pain... not one little bit.
- Johnny
The weirdest pregnancy side-effect I've heard of (though it's not rare) is RSI.
- Spidra Webster
RSI? repetitive stress injury? Or am I missing something/
- Mary Carmen
Maybe for the fathers http://www.instantrimshot.com
- Johnny
lol
- Mary Carmen
Yes, that RSI. Some women get it during pregnancy. I guess the hormonal changes make them more susceptible to it than they'd be had they not gotten pregnant. (In other words, it isn't only related to doing more repetitive movements.) Took me a while to come up with the right keywords: http://www.google.com/search...
- Spidra Webster
MC, it was dandelion root. Worked great! Also, PUPPP is not very common. I'm an arse for mentioning it. Pregnancies make one want to share their own stories, I think.
- Laura Norvig
from iPhone
The RSI is from the hormones responsible for the softening per labor stage of those pelvic bones. Carpal tunnel braces are good for your wrists. Lumbar belly support gadgets are good for the pelvic pain and potential labial varicosities.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
from FFHound!
Thanks Janet. My back has been killing me. I think I'll look into some support.
- Mary Carmen
Yep. I totally got carpal tunnel whatever when preggers. The real bitch was sciatica.

Anyone here using Buffer to share content?
Just trying to figure it out. Seems promising but also a little confusing.

You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

- Bret Taylor
Thanks Bret! :)
- Matt Ruiz
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
Great! Thanks! Love FF!
- Scott Monaco
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Lovely. Thanks guys.
- Mitchell Tsai
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
WOW. that's really helpful！
- K.D.
Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro.
- Louis Gray
Cool!
- Josh Haley
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!
- Bret Taylor
This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
Nice addition!
- Michael Fidler
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)
- Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!
- Jim Connolly
awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :)
- Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..
- Franc, a rememberer
That's a cool feature
- Xitong Liu

I really need to shift gears. After working on a project for 12 years, it is weird to just let it go. But I want to free up my energy to move ahead in other ways. Very hard to focus on "winding down" effectively, elegantly, efficiently.

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782)
- Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

I would figure exercising at night is great. You don't have to worry about being too tired to be productive the rest of the day. It'll help you sleep well.
- Spidra Webster
Actually, exercising late in the evening can, in some people, inhibit sleep because of the increases in core body temperature and adrenaline that accompany strenuous work. The shift in hormone production that goes along with working out can also delay the onset of sleep, and throw ones circadian rhythms out of whack.
- Bren

heh. it does not keep me awake. at least, the routine i am currently doing. I can see it happening though.
- holly #ravingfangirl
it's not universal, but it can have that effect on some people. Caffeine is the same way, I can drink coffee late in the evening without noticeable damage to sleep quality, but a lot of people can not.

Thanks to the sequester, we're now losing access to all the peer-reviewed journals my agency subscribes to currently. Instead of being able to write a biological evaluation (part of the NEPA process) in 2 weeks, it will take me months, as I wait for the painfully slow process of interlibrary loans.

Okay, this is insane. Surely there's a better way to run a calendar for repeating events than ENTERING THEM BY HAND EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME.
- laura x
er...yes, there should be....do you know anything about what version of Drupal you're running?
- ~Courtney F
Instead of the phrase, "there's an app for that," you will learn the phrase, "there's a module for that." Of course, this approach only works when you have a nimble IT team willing to try out modules.
- Laura Norvig

Courtney, I have no idea. The new web person starts on May 13, so I am sort of loathe to make any big changes before then, since she may well have her own way that she wants to do things. I'm just updating the site in the meantime and growling. :)
- laura x
You can also clone a node and then would only need to change the date.
- Laura Norvig
from iPhone
It could be a permission issue, too - you might not have permissions to access the recurring events features? I *think* that recurrence is standard for the modern versions of Drupal's built-in calendar, but I could be wrong and it's included in some module I just *always* install. Shoot me a screen shot of the date entering form and I'll see what I can find out for you.
- WebGoddess
Eh, I already put all the dates in for May, so it's sort of a moot point at this point, but many thanks!

My system switched to a Drupal calendar and I loathe it. No waiting lists, 13 million clicks to load things up, lousy signup tables, and a patience testing interface. This was done to save money or some such, but it wastes enough staff time to make any savings irrelevant.
- Andy
What makes this even better is that we actually have two entirely different calendar systems. Plus apparently we add things to the city calendar. Make that three systems.
- laura x
There's the problem right there. You need one system that you add events to. And then a bunch of systems that all read from that one master to populate their own displays. Probably the city system would be the core system, and then the library Drupal event calendar could get its data from the city and display it. There's a reason geeks spend so much time building standards like iCalendar and CalDav.
- DJF
What DJF said. Somebody needs to take the lead and make that happen because otherwise, shit will get dropped or added to the wrong calendar or something...
- WebGoddess
which sounds like a perfect project for your new web person :)
- ~Courtney F
Exactly. More calendars = more complexity = more errors
- WebGoddess
I used to blog on a Drupal site and it was 100% H.A.T.E. When I can't even use the html I know and have to use some BS specialized tags, it's a fail. My sympathies.

Lolling at "used to". Some of my colleagues still do it that way and lib management encourages it.

Hardly anyone switched from weekly emails to posting so it's dead. Just not put out of its misery. Moved on.
