Serenla

Have a good Thursday!
I will be in and out as we are swamped at work, cheers.

There should not be participation trophies for every activity. Trophies are for winning. Kids need to learn how to win and lose with class.

This was brought up in a post the other day but I seriously judge any adult who does not atomically correct terms. My four year old says penis not pee pee I expect you to also. The are not Tatas they are breasts.

I will go a step further and say parents should not let kids win at board games. Candy land takes no skill and is all luck, I win as much as my kids. On the other Han I think it is just as important to be a gracious winner as a good loser.

I'm so sick of the whole essential oils thing. Sure, I can see how they may work for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, but don't tell me that choosing modern medicine over them when I was TTC is going to cause a miscarriage during this pregnancy.

I agree 100%. I think parents that let their kids win at everything are doing them a lot of harm. I think the earlier they learn winning and losing the better!

I agree, it took my 4 year old a week to understand that losing is a part of life and that we can still have fun even if we lose a game....it was a rough week full of tears but now if she loses at a game she just says "ah man I lost, you won" and goes on with her life, it's usually said with laughter.

Ugh, yes. I  see this all the time with my younger students in speech.  We play a lot of games and I have had to teach some of them that you aren't always going to win.  I'm very competitive, even at Candy Land

I hate the licensed women's sports fan gear that is pink. Cheer for your team in their ACTUAL COLORS.

Why does it have to be pink and covered in sparkles and rhinestones!?!

Because ALL women love pink and are princesses.

I agree with this, especially when you are at the event.  You look stupid in the crowd if everyone is wearing red and black (or insert your teams colors) and you are wearing hot pink or lime green.

I hate pink guns.  Why do they have to be special colors for women to shoot them?  My guns aren't "ladies" guns.

Because pink and sparkles are effing awesome!!!

I agree though. There is a time and place, Sports gear should be appropriate colors. Someone bought DD a pink yankees shirt, and while I love myself some pink, I cant even consider it a team shirt because it's not the right color.

I do love when the players wear the pink accessories for breast cancer awareness though

I don't let DD wear a bikini. Not sure when she will be allowed.

That's the one with the truly amazing Amazon reviews, yes? Love it.

If I have a daughter she will wear just bottoms until she actually has boobs to cover up. I think bikinis on little girls are just ugh.

I don't allow bikinis but I do allow 2 piece suits.

My daughter uses rash guards and bottoms...I'll allow a tankini if its appropriate, she has extremely fair skin so along with the age appropriateness, her skin is a huge factor in her bathing suits. My son also wears a rash guard with his swim trunks because of his fair skin.

Have you read the reviews for Wendy Davis' tennis shoes she wore during her filibuster of Texas' (ridiculous) new abortion legislation??? Golden.

I HATE hash tags. I don't get the appeal. I have seen people use like 20 hash tags in one post. WTAF?

Yeah if I have a daughter and she inherits my pasty white ass, I will probably put her in a tankini.

Yea tankinis and two pieces are different than bikinis. I do prefer to use one pieces though.

DD is fair like I am. But I don't let her wear a bikini for more than just her skin.

I think all Apple products are over rated and overpriced  :-O

I also giggled while looking through facebook last night when everyone was complaining about not being able to download the software because they either, didn't have enough room or that their phones claimed to not have it available. We are strictly Windows and Android in our house and never have issues with limited memory Both my tablet and phone have expandable memory.

OMG those are my favorite reviews. Lol and I bought the shoes, oh and joined Wendy's team. Side note but I hope she runs for governor!

I spent waayyy too much time reading the customer reviews and Q&A. Best waste of time.

OMG I've never seen this! This just made my day!

My daughter wears takin is because I am lazy and she can potty in them herself.

My Iphone 4 was free

Mine was 99 cents. I love having a smart phone but wasn't willing to pay hundreds for a phone when I used to get it free. This was a great compromise. Paying for data is expensive enough. 

I guess mine is that I don't get people who pay for expensive phones (really anything over $30 seems excessive to me). I have no desire to have the newest of something, I just need something that works. Paying for data is expensive enough, and I have the lowest plan possible. That $20 still feels like a spluge. Why someone would pay hundreds for a phone and than $100 a month to run it is mind boggling to me.

But there are better free phones out there my DH got the Samsung Note 2 for free and I only paid $20 for my Galaxy S3, 3 months after it came out. 

BTW, I'm just teasing, I don't want you think think I'm being mean people are free to choose whatever technology they want.

I think she will. I am terrified of Greg Abbott. He might be worse than Perry.

*GASP!* Where's my pitchfork?  I'm totally a MAC person, but mainly because, like someone else said, they are super user-friendly and I don't use it for much more than spreadsheets and internet surfing.

@thomas930 - comics trump computer preferences all day!

Sometimes I wonder if this is unpopular or not, considering how many people I see doing it but....

FFS people, the word is DEFINITELY. Not DEFIANTLY. Defiantly is a word, but only when it's used the right way.

Y'all don't know how good you have it! Every phone here is full price. I bought a dumb phone, nokia, no touch screen, nothing! It was 8500 Icelandic krona. 70$ Iphones? Yea, they are 160,000 icelandic krona. Look that one up. You won't feel so bad about buying phones anymore :-D :-D

I dislike macs very much, I also dislike some of the more pretentious users riding their high horse around. Not everyone is like that obviously but I love to tear down the people who are
