UO!

SunnyMeg1

I love going to the dentist. I love getting my teeth cleaned so much. I know people have fears but I can't understand those who don't go at least once a year when they can afford to and especially those who don't take their children. My high school BF's best friend was diagnosed with tongue cancer at 16. No smoking, no chew, no oral sex. The ENT didn't catch it but the dentist did.

This is my dentist appreciation post. @quidditchcapn1120

Also? Some people, like myself, don't really care for the hoopla that can come with engagements. I'd rather poke my eye out than have this grand proposal.

I'm the same in the way of not needing a grand proposal. DH just bought the ring and got.down on one knee and askedeme to marry him. Nothing crazy...but the ring abd the where/when of his proposal was a surprise...and I love that.

NO.

I agree with you @mabelshesthebomb. I never reay cared for dunkin. The only reason I drink it is bc there's practically one on every damn corner in town. I like McDonald's coffee better than Dunkin.

DH cringes whenever he hears a story involving a guy I dated. He never, ever, wants to know how many people I have been with.

Which sucks, because had I known this before I met him, I would have been A MUCH BIGGER WHORE!!!

DH picked out my engagement ring with minimal help.  I told him the cut I liked best and mentioned that I'd like sapphires in the setting somewhere, but that was it.  I love my ring but if I'm perfectly honest I wouldn't have chosen it for myself.  It's very simple and I just prefer more intricate art deco or edwardian style settings.  TBH, I would really, really love to have a band made to fit my right-hand ring and wear that on my left hand instead.  I did pick that one out, as a 5th anniversary gift, and while it's inferior quality to my engagement ring, it's more "me."  I feel like H's feelings would be hurt if I suggested making the change, though.

@HilarityEnsued I also helped DH pick out my ring (he asked for my help), found out the sex of my baby and "hate surprises" for reasons similar to you:)

I have trouble understanding why that would make anyone else "twitchy" and I don't think I need to unclench.

I don't like coffee, either. I don't like to drink it, I don't want if flavoring my chocolate, I don't want to taste it at all.

The smell of it in the morning is ok. I really like the smell of amaretto coffee brewing.

I agree somewhat with Mrs. T, but not so much picking the ring to be sure you like it. Women who chose the ring and the date and method of proposal and want to find out the sex of their baby ASAP and have major control over their baby and bridal showers and pick the exact version of all gifts because "they hate surprises" make me twitchy.

Something about the reason makes me want to yell at them to unclench. I realize that's judgy and ridiculous. Sorry. It's a pet peeve.

To me these are different types of situations.  I picked out my ring and I wanted to know the sex of my baby ASAP.  I didn't care at all about the method/date of proposal (or really about the details of the wedding other than that I wanted a rockin party), I didn't even want a bridal shower, I had no hand in my baby shower (other than requesting various types of desserts). 

I also "hate surprises" but really that has less to be with me being in control and more to do with the fact that I'm awkward as fuck socially and it's highly likely that I will behave in an off-putting manner if I'm totally caught off guard with some surprise focused at me.


I recognize that they're different things, and don't judge you for wanting more notice and not wanting to seem awkward. It's really the women who do it as a control thing that bugs me. I've a few friends that are great except that they feel the need to control and know about every.little.thing and it makes me a little batty. Just let go and chill a little. It's not so much that I judge their choices to know, but their reason and need for control.

This is may be somewhat flammable, bur this is UO after all, so here goes: I think its sorta tacky and just plain stupid when women go "shopping" with their man for their engagement ring. I also think it takes most of the excitement out of the planning when she starts planning her wedding months (to almost a year) before she even gets engaged. Call me a bitch for that...but eh. It just seems kinda lame and it takes the novelty/excitement out of the whole deal, IMO. This brought to you my one of my GFs who has half her wedding planned already, and just got engaged last week after picking out her engagement ring herself. Man..That makes me sound like a judgy bitch. Sorry y'all. I'm sure this will be somewhat unpopular.

Yeah, I do think you're being a bit judgy with the ring thing.  Not every guy just magically knows what to get for their GF.  Some want their GF to go shopping with them, or at least give them ideas about what they like.  MH was one of those guys.  Yes, he ultimately picked out a ring that I hadn't looked at, but was along the lines of the many others we did look at.  My cousin did something similar with his wife, but he actually asked her to pick out the exact ring she liked because he had no clue what to get her.  So either scenario is fine, because it's about preference for the guy and all.  Some are comfortable flying solo with it, others prefer the help.

I agree.  My DH and I stopped in a jeweler one day to give him a sense of what I liked.  Sliver band, square diamond.  Really, the only requirement I had was no gold.  What did I get?  Gold band with a round diamond.  My husband is the only man on the planet who gets it completely wrong, but that is essentially why I love him.  Plus, the ring is gorgeous and classic.

Gifts for your guests at a wedding reception or shower are completely unnecessary.

I probably do need to unclench in several areas but I don't give even a sixteenth of a fuck.

Yeah, but you're not trying to control every.little.detail of your baby shower/bridal shower/bachelorette party/family holiday because you don't trust others to do a good enough job and just use the excuse of disliking surprises.

I don't know how you can all drink more than one cider. They give me heartburn. It's damn near a wine cooler.

 My UO is that I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I love some stuff about fall, but to me it really just means that winter is coming, and I hate the snow and the dark.

I had this exact conversation with a coworker two days ago.I like fall itself, but I just keep thinking about the cold weather that is coming. I compared it to Sundays. I should like Sunday because it's a day off, but all day I think about the fact that the next day is Monday, so I don't enjoy it as much as Saturday. If seasons were days of the week, Spring would be Friday, Summer=Saturday, Fall=Sunday and Winter is Monday.

 

Interesting.  Similarly, I have always said that Thursday is the best day of the week.  It's the closest day to Saturday that's furthest from Monday.

I feel similarly to HE here, but I am going to go one step further and say that although I did want to know the sex of my baby asap-- It wasn't really a suprise.  I mean -- it was either going to be a boy or a girl.  That's it. 

If they told me I was having a penguin, I would have been suprised.

A good friend of mine bought her wedding dress 2 years ago. The guys still hasn't proposed. It is very awkward.

Yes, that would definitely qualify as fucking awkwars as hell in my book.

Hahaha... yes.  I just wanted to know because I felt like I couldn't do any sort of planning or preparing (as far as nursery stuff, picking out a name, etc.) until I knew.  We went semi-gender neutral with a lot of the big items (car seat, strollers) but I didn't want a totally gender neutral nursery, and I wanted to pick out his name so I could start referring to him by name. 


I probably didn't word my original vent well. While typing I was thinking of a cousin and friend who do the "hate surprises" thing as a control technique. Like my cousin once had a meltdown over not knowing if the family Fourth of July picnic would have certain types of pasta salad.

acaudill75

DH and I discussed whether or not we would have our kids chipped. They could have it taken out when they turn 18. I have no problem whatsoever with having something on them so that if the worst case scenario ever happened, we stacked the odds in our favor of locating and recovering them ASAP. Time is of the essence in those situations.

Fuck, we chip animals like its no big deal. I love my cat and dog, but I love DDs waaaaayyyyyy more than them.

I would definitely agree that this is an unclench situation.  I feel a little sad for her though because it's really a compulsion that is hard to control.  Like the anxiety that starts to rolls in when things aren't "planned".

 

Ha!  Yes your cousin needs to unclench.  Pasta salad is gross anyway.  Wait-- is that a UO?
