Just pretend you're playing an JRPG with some crazy fetch quest.
Better get crackin then!! Jr-Bash needs those eggs!
Brenner FTW.
Hehe. I'm sure food crazy is still preferable to the horrible sickness stuff, so it's good to hear that things sound normal. Glad she's back, Bashcraft.
@sluissa:
And with any quest, theres always a reward at the end ;)
I can't wait til that happens to me.
Really.
Of course I'll dread it when it happens. haha.
Oh man that brought back memories of when my mother was pregnant with my sister. She would get these terrible cravings for baked potatoes.
"honey, heres some money, could you go get me a baked potato from Wendy's?"
"mom...its like......9 A.M...."
"I'M HUNGRY!!!!!"
D: *snatches money and runs to Wendy's*
@doesntlikedede: Or in this case, a new fetch quest for a new craving :/ There will be a lot of fetch quests before the final reward for this one I fear. ;)
@doesntlikedede:
Possibly, but I'm sure I've done a fetch quest in an RPG before where I didn't get anything except a thank you.
mgso beta is letting me on as far as creating character, nz btw
It's strange... my wife is 7 months pregnant, but she hasn't really had any of the stereotypical pregnancy symptoms. No insane food cravings, no mood swings, and not even morning sickness. Now that I think about it, we're probably to blame for Mrs. Bash -- cosmic balance and all that! Sorry, man!! Seriously though, I feel very lucky... let's hope the delivery is as easy...
Eggs. Scrambled. Stat.
u might as well pick up an extra $100 worth of other groceries...you know...just in case...
@Woodwater: My thoughts exactly.
I need 1 dozen scrambled eggs... NOWWW!!!!!
Maybe she'll repeat the cravings from the first time? You could have the edge in buying stuff before hand...or just have a lot of extra foods.
My wife is pregnant, and due May 5th. So, you know, any freaking day now. Want to know what I did yesterday? I went to Subway to get a Cold Cut Trio, went to McDonald's for a large fry and a shake, and went to Wendy's for a Frosty.
Go figure, you know, since the McDonald's chocolate shake and the Frosty tastes exactly the same to ME. But to pregnant taste buds the difference couldn't be bigger apparently.
Fun stuff.
Wife wanted watermelon in February when she was pregnant a few years back.
$10 for a basketball sized mealy watermelon on a cold February night.
Good luck.
"I demand pickles. And ice-cream."
I guess she's feeling better if she's demanding food now :)
Did Mini-Bash clean up today?
My wife never had "GET ME THIS FOOD NOW!" kind of cravings, but she did have spells where she would eat the same food ALL the time...as in, every day. For practically six months she ate at Skyline every single day...EVERY DAY!
There were times we would both go into Skyline, I would watch her eat and then get something from somewhere else on the way home. I like Skyline but not THAT much.
Scrambled eggs late at night?
That's not that crazy. I've totally done that b/c I'm 1) Cheap, 2) Hungry, and 3) Lazy. Of course, I usually already have the eggs in the house. It could have been much worse.
my wife never had the get it now cravings either. However, all we ate for about 6 months was baby back ribs. I hate ribs now
My wife is at week 25, she's craving all kinds of goofy crap. Mint chocolate chip ice cream, black olives (in a can! not the jarred ones that are marginally less fecal in flavor), grape soda. Something is wrong with pregnant women.
Scrambled eggs at 10pm...cold pizza at 8am...meh :)
Yay she's eating now! :D
@PapaBear434: There's totally a difference. Wendy's Frosty kicks all the ass ever while the McDonald's milkshake became pretty mediocre a few years ago.
Also, what's with asking me if I want a chocolate or vanilla Frosty? Are there people who actually prefer the latter to the former?
do i really give a fuck about your wife?
are you gonna tell us when shes gonna take a dump too? what color is it?
pickles and peanut butter...yum
pregnant wife FTW
It's never too crazy to want scrambled eggs.
@Bash: While you're out you can pick me up a few things as well... let's see... I need a coke, something sweet... maybe some japan chocolate never tried that stuff before... and hell that will be all.
LEAVE ME ALONE, I'M STARVING!
I crave a combination of fried eggs with the yolk still liquid, rice, soy sauce, and some kind of salty meat (crispy fried Spam usually) every few days now - no idea why.
I seem to crave salty things all the time, though, like choosing the Three-Meat (Pepperoni, Bacon, and Sausage) pizzas over my old standby of Pepperoni and Veggies.
--and I'm not even pregnant... and I'm male... Wait, maybe I'm some type of horrible mutant! AAAAAAAAAAAH!
...In all seriousness though, I think I could empathize with pregnant-food-craving people quite easily.
@PTTSeven:
Sounds like you need to eat loco mocos.
Yippee your wife is back! My wife admitted years later that she just wanted to see what I would do when she sent me to Albertson's at 1 AM. Yeah I was a sucker and got strawberries, ice cream, and pickles. The clerk asked right away if someone was pregnant.
In this household, it's not uncommon to eat breakfast foods for any meal of the day. Eggs, bacon, ham, spam or breakfast sausage, pan-fried potatoes, oatmeal, pancakes and whatever else. Any combination makes a fine meal any old time of the day.
A few of my favorites are bacon and oatmeal (salty and sweet); a fried egg or two on a couple of pancakes (pancake dipped in egg yolk tastes good, or poke a hole in the egg and pour a little syrup or tabasco in it); and pretty much anything with pan-fried potatoes... sometimes with ketchup. Omelettes
@Konatsu: Darn thing jumped to the submit button when I hit space. I meant to say, Omelettes are also a good choice.
Why are you wasting time writing?! You should be gettin! Hungry pregnant women are not to be trifled with... ;)
Grats on you and the wife getting over the morning sickness hump. Hope it's all smooth sailing from here on out.
@Cathaoir: Yeah, the whole vanilla frosty concept is just strange. I still haven't gotten used to it since its introduction. Seriously, a vanilla frosty tastes like the standard soft-serve you can get anywhere. The original frosty, however, is special and is completely unique compared to standard chocolate shakes/soft-serve.
Glad Mrs. Bashcraft's back home.
Nothing wrong with eggs at 10 p.m. Or, midnight. Or, 2 a.m.
Mmm, eggs.
*heads to refrigerator*
I'll send her mine. I hate eggs...
Sausage and Pancakes, they're good at anytime of day.
Do not, let me repeat that, DO NOT argue with a pregnant woman. Their hormones are in an uproar already. I will not be responsible for what happens if you fail to produce the scrambled eggs on demand.
Ahhh, pregnancy, the time in every man's life when he realizes he should have installed a hot bar in the kitchen... Hopefully this is indicative of her health getting better, best of luck Bashcraft.
Oh, and Shyguy, you don't like eggs? sad day.
Scrambled eggs are good anytime of the day
Glad she's back and feeling well enough to order her husband around.
By the way... After Mini-Bash, what's the second one going to be called?
(And yes, I know that "Mini" isn't his actual name...)
...Scrambled eggs. Hmm. I'm kinda hungry.
Scrambled eggs 10pm? Wait 'till she wakes you up 4am asking for... foie gras with mustard seeds and spring onions. :P
I just want to point out that now Mrs. Bash has documented proof of you calling her crazy.... just saying.
At least it's noty as bizarre as wanting to eat dirt.
Glad to here that your wife is better, it's always a good sign when you want to eat!
I feel bad for whoever has to deal with me when I get pregnant. I'll crave tropical fruit that only grows on the equator....not like I don't craves those now though, that stuff is awesome :/
Do not argue with the pregnant wife. You must only obey.
