I'll start.

If I have to pay you $400/hr to settle my mom's estate, and you keep me waiting 30 minutes while you kibbitz on the phone, you owe me $200.

I think it should be acceptable to take all your half eaten bags of potato chips to a bbq and call it potato chip medley. They're just going stale at my house anyway.

I am so going to try this the next time I got to my brother's!! I'll tell him I saw it on Pinterest.

You know, for street cred.

This is funny, and I support it.

Yes I agree!

Speaking of half eaten bags, I just found a half eaten bag of mini kit kats in my desk drawer.

SCORE!

oh it's an UO thread, I totally thought it was an OU thread like somebody owes me something ... not enough coffee.
I got nothing yet.
Oh wait, I see no problem with bribing my kid to behave. Different things work at different times, bribes, threats, ignore, distraction, they are all a-ok in my book.

I just rename bribery "incentive" the pay-off is "reward". This is totally what child psychologists do. It's completely legit Not only is it okay, it's stellar parenting the experts teach

I think some of the classic children's books are a little bit creepy. Like The Runaway Bunny. "If you become a sail boat, I will become the wind and blow you where I want you to go." WTF? And why is this little bunny trying so desperately to get away from the momma bunny?

I'm probably reading too much into it, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

Plus no sharing of popcorn!

I've never been a huge fan of popcorn. I'll eat it at the theater if DH or SD has it, but I'd rather just eat an entire bag of candy.

Never read the book, but maybe it is touching upon the baby bunny's need to grow into the big bunny its becoming, and the mama bunny saying no matter what you become, I will support you and help you get where you need to go.

Or maybe she fed up with his running away and saying I will buy your dumbass a ticket and lets be done with it.

Or Good Dog Carl where the mom leaves her dog in charge of the baby and he proceeds to throw her down the laundry chute, let her swim in a fish tank, and blow dry her after a bath. Good parenting, lady!

I forget what it's called, but there's also the one where the little girl doesn't take care of herself or her house and it rises up in mutiny against her. WHY DOES SHE LIVE ALONE?!

It's ridiculous to say that I need to bring DD into the doctor for something that A) The bump was able to tell me and that Could have been said over the phone. When the doctor doesn't even touch my DD when I get there, I shouldn't have to pay $100something and waste 2 hours of my day. Especially when that advice hasn't even benefited me yet.

Or when they hand you off to the nurse practitioner, or something. They are still billing you, or your insurance, doctor rates. I didn't see a doctor, don't bill me like I did.

I wouldn't even care if they did SOMETHING. But to tell me to have DD take miralax (which hasn't even helped, btw) and then send me on the way is ridiculous. Especially when I specifically asked the nurse if there was anything I could try to give her before coming in and she was just weighed last month, so they were close enough for dosing info to tell me: just about a half-cap. I didn't need a scrip and the doctor literally didn't touch her.

This would seriously piss me off.

I wouldn't say I was glad but kind of secretly relieved that DD doesn't love the pool so we are going to wait to go back until she is a bit older. I felt very self conscious about my post-pregnancy body at our local pool. There are a lot of hot babes that live here and I am definitely not one of them. So if there was a time for just women with jiggly thighs (and some jiggly other parts) to go to the pool I would be happy with that.
Mine was a joke, everybody should be able to enjoy the pool without a schedule like 10-11: hairy backs
11-12: hairy vaginas
12-1: babies who cry
1-2: cellulite
2-3: baldies (men and babies)
3-4: tiny boobs
4-8: everyone else

What if I have a hairy vagina, cellulite and tiny boobs?! Surprise

Please see the appropriate time slot for each one and only get into the pool then. Offenders will be banned permanently.

So wait. My vag can swim from 11-12, and my tiny boobs have to wait until 3-4 to get in? Ugh, not worth it.

How are we gonna know if someones vag is hairy? That shiit can stay in your bathing suit. I propose we change that time slot to old people who wear bathing suits that are too small.

I prefer 90 percent of my vegetables raw over cooked. I'm sure it has to do with growing up with a huge garden and picking stuff fresh. My mom didn't care if we ended up eating everything before it came in the house as long as we ate it.

Me, too. When I was super healthy pre DS, I used to love salad sans dressing, even.

Maybe she meant someone who has a supadupah bushy vag. You can see that in a bathing suit. Triple word score if that is an old lady.

Why? A nurse practitioner can do everything the doc can do. I assume if it was something more serious than the typical ear infection, cold, weird toddler skin rash, they would call the doc in. And I do think you get billed less for an NP than if you would for the doc.

I think I'd like to live in a co-op village. Not a very granola one. I'd still want modern conveniences, deodorant to be worn by all, and frequent carnivorous friendly meals served. It'd be kind of cool to live in a true community though where some people made the moolah, some took care of the kids, and some made us more self sufficient by gardening and raising animals and such.

Raw food is so good for you, more people should eat that way. DD1's dinner plate is usually 75% raw veggies. DD2 is not quite as good about it, but we are working on it.
And Shanado, I see nothing wrong with a 2 year old still having a paci. People need to chill out on that shiz. If that is how your kid soothes you can't just expect them to magically learn to self soothe without a paci at age 1.

We've been doing a lot more raw veggies in our diet too. Although, I was totally surprised when I found out some veggies get healthier after they've been cooked, like spinach.

That's what I was thinking. I mean, we get billed the same seeing a NP. As long as my kids are being treated like they should it doesn't really matter.

Tomatoes are healthier cooked too. Nothing wrong with eating raw veggies if that's your bag though. I'm pretty stoked that some are better for you cooked because I loathe a raw veggie. The texture is just too much. I think I have sensory issues.
