Page 1:

@Spooko thinks some people will never genuinely enjoy exercise. I tend to agree… I like the feeling after I have exercised, but I hate the process. Popular.

@RondackHiker doesn’t like cursing around kids, nor find little kids cursing cute. Popular.

@TwilightMV says Radio morning shows are annoying and not funny. Popular.

@peanutrach1 doesn’t like organic cleaners and feels they don’t work. I personally loathe the smell of bleach, especially in the kitchen. Yuck! Alcohol will kill most germs, but a lot of natural cleaners don’t do as well at easily dissolving greasy materials. Moderately popular.

@shanado doesn’t like catering to vegetarian/vegan food preferences with catering. I’m personally torn. I like being a good host. I think a lot of vegetarian (but not vegan) food is SO GOOD. Pretty Popular.

@Soxgirl07 says new is not always better and beauty is not more important than substance. Tough to judge without context, but seems generally true.

@FhStar81 hates it when people say they won’t do arts and crafts at home because they don’t want messes. I’m pretty meh on arts and crafts, TBH. I always preferred drawing and coloring. No glitter in the house though.

@SarahL77 posted something about racism that I’m finding way too hard to condense into one sentence.

@Manneek1977 says money is never clean. Literally or figuratively?

@Manneek1977 says there should be a national animal abuser registry. Popular.

@Packerfan79 hates musicals. Unpopular?

@chicala think Nip/Tuck is so terrible it is amazing. I think Seasons 1-3 are great and 5-6 are seriously horrid.

@Manneek1977 thinks organic food should be cheap enough for people to freaking buy. Popular. Government subsidies needed?

@Manneek1977 loves beanie hats. Unpopular?

@missyishere DGAF is her bed or anyone else’s is made. Low priority. Popular.

@Mackalien13 doesn’t like Lady Gaga. Mixed?

@prncebride doesn’t like Rebel Wilson. Unpopular?

@CinemaGoddess doesn’t think Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning should go to jail. I personally think the sentence was a bit harsh, but I can’t fully support his methods.

@Wordsmith226 (yay!) finds most hashtags annoying. I agree. Pretty popular.

@Manneek1977 thinks mothers should get free reconstruction surgery. Very Popular. I say deep subsidies, not 100% free. People always abuse free shit and take it for granted.

@CinemaGoddess says Trader Joe’s is overrated. So wrong! Everyone who love titted this is on my bad side for the next three minutes. kinda unpopular>?

@NativeFloridian says android sucks balls. I politely disagree but respect her needs.

@Darbie914 can’t understand how some people don’t enjoy reading. Pretty popular.

@eddy321 doesn’t think you should voluntarily need a job when you don’t have another lined up and need the money to live and support your family.

@Maebb has a pet peeve about gumsmacking and playing iphone games with sound in the bathroom.

@katem3277 says if you don’t play an instrument or write your own songs, she won’t consider you a musician. I think there are some fine vocalists who don’t write their own material. Unpopular.

@chapski doesn’t think the sex offender list should be just for child molesters and rapists. I’d personally prefer the default be for the worst offenders.

@catycate thinks Advanced Health Care Directives should be written in a much more black and white manner.

@Sunnymeg1 thinks $8 for a children’s movie ticket is too much.

@chapski dropped a UO regarding Bradley/Chelsea Manning’s sex change plans.

@BlueRidge8 likes Woodwick more than Yankee Candle. I assume those are candles, only from context.

@humptydance likes walking more than driving.

@missymo thinks movie popcorn is the best. False, but popular. My wife makes the best popcorn.

Today was definitely not our best, folks.

Considering how the claws were out last week, I'm ok with a more sedate week.

-discussion of transgendered and orientation

@msd-rdg says if you are wearing so much perfume she can taste it, it’s time to go home and shower. Offer her a baby wipe?

Page 6:

@nixieknox3 needs to share her juicy one from last week

@prncebride doesn’t think 30+ year olds should dress like punkers, ravers or emo.

@seahorse102410 hates red ink pens. The best part of them is no one ever steals them.

@luckydad says male stand up comedians should not try to tell period jokes

luckydad is over the zombie thing and demands something new. Popular.

luckydad says Rappers’ Delight is an awesome song, but way too long. Unpopular?

luckydad thinks public money should never be used to fund sports stadiums. Mixed?

TwilightMV says Coldplay doesn’t belong on Alt Rock Stations. LoisLayn23 added Train, Nickelback and Creed to that list.

LuckyDad

Did I break the tag function?

Page 7:

-there’s a Zumba “uniform”?

-@missyishere was a raver

darbie914 loathes when women use “I grew the baby so I get more say in XYZ”, specifically with baby names. I think there are times to play that card (I grew the baby, so you need to go get me ice cream) and times it’s not fair.

missyishere

I only raved a few times. My ex was big I to the scene. I was high enough to tolerate it.

Don't lie. You secretly still twirl glow sticks at night sucking on a pacifier.

I never once saw a glow stick or a pacifier. Maybe Iowans did raves wrong?

missyishere

I remember a lot of funny dancing and large amounts of marijuana at the raves I attended.

Weed + raves seems like an odd combo.

"Here, take this drug that makes you want to do nothing but lie on the couch and be introspective and eat chips. Now dance!!!"

missyishere

Everything makes me dance, though. Weed never slowed me down! @luckydad

I got my belly button pierced at a rave when I was 15.  8->

Hawt.

I have to say, one of the depressing signs of getting older was when a lot of women my age moved from "I have a pierced belly button" to "I used to have a pierced belly button".

I made the recap even though no one gave a shit about my opinion on walking!

Next time be more controversial. Like "People who drive instead of walking are big stupid fatties."

I had my tongue pierced in college,  then my current boss told me during my interview that if I wanted to be a skank, I shouldnt work in his practice. Oddly, I wasnt offended and have been working for him for 6 years.

But did you take out the tongue stud?

Conformist.

You know, I only ever "dated" one lady with a pierced tongue. It was fun, but overrated, IMHO.

Foam parties were fucking disgusting.

Hey, it's soap... right?

I never went to one. I was too old when they became popular that's a lie. I wasn't cool enough.

I also had my tongue and eyebrow pierced in HS. My mom took me to get it done. :-bd

I wanted my eyebrow but did my nose instead. I just recently took it out for good after having it over 10 years. I had my belly button done, too, but took out a few years ago.

Kitiara5512

I had my nips pierced but took them out when we were ttc. 

Pumping had me squirting milk out the piercings like lawn sprinklers.
