UO

It's my favorite thread of the week and I'm up early--so bring on the unpopular opinions.

alexeleni

I only kind of like chocolate.
Also, I think pugs and bulldogs are more funny looking than cute.

Those count, right?

drmrsmantis

Here's what I've got:

1. I can't stand Gymboree.  My MIL is obsessed with it, so maybe that's why?

2. I prefer the most disgusting, sugary candy in place of almost any meal (think fun dip, cotton candy, candy corn, etc)

3. I can't get into 80% of the threads on this board lately.  I try, but--meh.

My UO? I think it's ok to intro in an UO post. I'm Whittier. I've been on the bump since 2011, expecting our third due 4/17, and God only knows what my signature looks like, I'm mobile I'll fix it later.

I too hate Magic Mike and all the hype.

UO of the day: I think some people's excitement about my pregnancy is weird not flattering.  Not sure if that qualifies, but it is kind of annoying.

I would like to live in an old house with radiators and no closets. Cause that's how I roll. Best I can do this morning.

No closets!?!?! :-O UO, indeed! Give me ALL the closets!

I hate OITNB. I tried to get into it by forcing myself to watch season 1 and some of 2 but I think it sucks. I also couldn't get past the first few episodes of breaking bad without falling asleep.

I prefer to eat Pizza Hut pizza, Olive Garden pasta, and Taco Bell tacos over "real" pizza, Italian food, and Mexican food. Gimme the fake stuff any day! Just because someone spends more time making it, doesn't mean it tastes better!

Being a NYer I can't get down with the Pizza but, I dislike authentic Spanish food. Tijuana Flats and Chipotle are about as much as I can take.

I love maternity clothes. I love the tight shirts, the horizontal stripes, and the belly panels. Maternity clothes are the most flattering clothes I have ever owned.

I side eye people who say "once you start going, you'll always have to go." As the reason they won't see a Chiropractor. With that same logic, let's stop going to the dentist.

@ncountrygal No closets?!  I live in a house with no closets and it's terrible.  Luckily we have a basement but no matter what the house is always cluttered.  

I have 2 UOs this morning.

1. I hate The Notebook...I basically detest all the Nicholas Sparks movie/books.  It's the same damn plot over and over.  The Notebook is the worst, however.  People say it's the best romance, but give me The Princess Bride any day.

2. Coffee is gross.  I don't know how people can drink it without loading it up with sugar and milk.  Even then it tastes gross.  Tea is the same way.  How do people choke it down??  Gross.

Ncountrygal

The old houses I've looked at seem to come without closets. So okay, I'll get rid of stuff. I figure I'll have to add some storage. Otherwise, where would the vacuum and my bags of gummy bears go?

Chapstick only makes chapped lips worse. I know way too many people who can't live without it.

I heard that.  Isn't it also addicting?  I swear I read somewhere that it causes you to lick your lips more often, which forces you to constantly reapply?  Not sure if that's true, but it sticks out in my brain.

Old houses really depends on who previously owned the house. Otherwise you just use a wardrobe, it's not a big deal - although I think real estate wise they don't list it as bedroom without a closet. I love old houses so I'm with you!

My uo is I can't stand Dunkin Donuts Coffee. I'll take Starbucks any day!

All you starbuck haters and Dunken donuts lovers don't know what you're missing out on...

All Hail Tim Hortons!

To clarify, just because DD is my favorite does not mean I don't like other coffees. I love me some Einstein Brothers and sometimes Panera. I have not had the opportunity to try Tim Hortons ever. Is that a PNW chain?

ETA: but I stand by my Starbucks hate.

PinkDahLia44

@souptin, I did not realize you were one of our Canadian ladies. PNW was "Pacific Northwest." I have not been to Canada since I was 14 and I did not drink coffee back then. I will gladly try it out if I ever run across one, though!

ETA: I am originally from the Northeast, so I am biased towards DD.

mrsmopar67

Lots of Tim Hortons around Metro Detroit too. They are wayyyy better than Starbucks.

I have zero interest in maternity clothes or baby crap - I'll make due with my clothes and any hand me downs i may get. for the baby stuff... we'll get a car seat and whatever people give us.

I haven't bought a single thing for the baby yet. We're having a shower for each side (i have social anxiety so the idea of one huge shower terrified me). So i'm just going to see what we get there and for xmas. I figure, i don't need the stuff for 6 months. Why buy it now?

Here's mine: I think Magic Mike was by far the stupidest movie ever. I didn't make it past 30 minutes in because the dumb was making my head hurt. I didn't think the actors strutting around in nothing made up for it either. They weren't THAT impressive. The fact that there is all this hype and a sequel makes me kind of nauseated.

I never watched the first one and don't plan to, but what bugs me the most is that the girls I know that drooled over that one and the one coming up and talked about it nonstop are ones I know are NOT putting out for their husbands on the reg.

jk3610

Ooh i thought of another one speaking of magic mike. I do not find channing tatum attractive. I think it looks like he got hit in the face with a shovel.

A little free association here, but your post made me think of this:

@swoon13 they are expanding into the US....so its not totally out the realm of possibility.

However, the US menu is super bizarre and different then what they offer here. Fried chicken breakfast sandwiches? who would eat that? just strange and odd.

 I think for now they are only in US border cities but I am sure global coffee chain domination is very politely just around the corner for Tims so just be patient.

We had Tim Hortons here in Rhode Island for a few years. They all closed about 5 years ago, which was weird because they seemed pretty popular. I was not a fan though... I'm an iced coffee lover and theirs was watery and weak. MH loved it.

@amyA401  Did you know Rhode Island has more Dunkin Donuts' per square mile than any other state in the US?

WTF is it news that she had morning sickness. Ooooh no she missed another public appearance how sad for her.  Morning sickness sucks especially when you have it really bad but I just don't understand why it is news.

Bahaha, Timbits.

Now I want some DD doughnuts. I've been ruined by eating them my whole life, I'll never love another more because I'm uncultured swine.

My UO is that I don't understand why people wet their pants over pumpkin spice lattes when peppermint mochas are far superior. I don't like SB or coffee really but when I go home for the holidays I'm gonna have one or ten a day.

Peppermint ERRYTHING! It's the most wonderful time of the year!

But.... If you only watched 30 minutes then you didn't see Channing's dance to genuine... Which was what made the movie worth every.single.penny.

She didn't have morning sickness, she had HG. BIG difference.

PinkDahLia44  I have no idea what PNW is

Tim's is a Canadian coffee chain. As far as I know we dont have any dunkin donuts in Canada, but I have had it in the US.....I may be biased but Tims is by far better.

Tims is by far the best chain coffee. Leaves Starbucks and DD in the dust. (DD still has the best donuts though.)

False. Get thee to a Voodoo Donuts.

Never heard of em! National chain?

nope, completely overrated Portland donut shop

I'm from Portland, and I love donuts. But voodoo is not worth standing in line for 30 minutes. Unless you're vegan, because then it's a rarity to be able to eat donuts

Yeah, I had some while visiting my brother in Portland. Most of the selection is a little out there for me. Give me a plain chocolate donut and I'm happy.

There's a world of difference between between the dentist and a chiropractor... Chiropractics is so commonly accepted that I actually didn't know until I was an adult that it's "alternative medicine" not based on scientific evidence.

Total fucking bullshit

FYI I work at a chiro school and am involved in what curriculum  they are taught.  You want hokey not science medicine, look to rekki or  crystal healing.

Yeah...there is a reason my insurance will pay for me to go to the Chiropractor and not for me to have my Chakras aligned. I have scoliosis and am in pain all of the time. My family doctor suggested a chiropractor. Besides alignments, my chirpractor works with me through physical therapy exercises designed to strengthen my back muscles. Are there chiropractors out there that aren't great and suggest unneccessary treatments? Yes. Are there medical doctors that do the same? Hell yes. You do your research and find a good one.

I have the hardest time getting into homemade smoothies, much to DH's disappointment.

She was hospitalized. She doesn't have just morning sickness. I have morning sickness. That sucks. I've never been to the hospital. That would more than suck. 

Exactly. Her condition is actually really severe especially when she is constantly dehydrated and needs extra care. A lot of women that experience hypermesis, sometimes never go on to have more children because of how hard of a time they had.

Channing Tatum is gorgeous. Get your eyes checked people.

But yes, Magic Mike did suck.

kayneg924

Now I can't decide if I want Starbucks or donuts.... Shipley donuts are my favorite, not a DD fan

I hate breakfast food, I'll only eat cereal that's about it.
