UO

Miles2Go

Aaaaaaand GO!


I haven't started one of these before. If I'm going to be getting notifications all day, you better be entertaining.

Also, no level 10 crazies, please. Level 1-9... Have at it.

I don't enjoy New Years Eve/Day. Never have. To me, it's really just another day and always anticlimactic. I'm completely indifferent to staying up for midnight. The last few years, I've just done the night check in my barn an hour late and given my horses apples at midnight. Some celebration.

This year, DH bought tickets to see Blue Man Group, which will be cool in and of itself, but doesn't make New Years any cooler, IMO.

As soon as I see someone use "lol" or "LOL" here or on Facebook (non-ironically) I write them off as an idiot.

Noted. I shall now include it in any and all responses to you.



Lol.

@aimee223 I totally agree with the gender reveals. My SIL did one and even though it was my first nephew, I really wasn't into it. I just think that people really don't care as much as you do. Will they be happy? Sure. I just think they are too AW and nms. But to each their own I guess.
I do however, love the siggy contest. I giggle everytime I scroll through posts.

I am currently trying to think of my own UO. But I swear someone covers mine every week before I get the chance. Stupid time difference.

To make a really long story short: I want to have an un-medicated birth, my partner thinks it's nonsensical to turn down the epidural/pain meds. When this debate first came up, I told him to do his research and come back to me because I feel like I've got a pretty decent case for why I would like to try without an epidural. ANYWAY, I needed stitches on Sunday and they gave me local anesthesia. My partner says, "Why don't you go for a natural suturing?" Haha, he's got jokes, whatever. We wound up getting into another argument about it after. 

My UO: My partner does not get an equal say in pregnancy/childbirth-related things. He does not get to tell me what I should or should not be eating or doing, etc. Yes, it's his child too, but it's my body and it's my vagina and what I say goes and he doesn't get equal say for once. Maybe that makes me a bad partner or a tyrant, but I really don't give a fuck right now.

My hair has gotten long... my baby just turned 1 a few weeks ago, and I don't think I've had my hair cut since before she was born. Honestly, it's a combo of tight budget and not wanting to get a $10 haircut from a cheap place...

At any rate, I have been getting so many compliments on my hair... normally, I wear it up (usually just a pony tail or some similar variation) because it bothers me being so long (midway down my back) but with a few Christmas functions in the recent past, I've worn it down to be "dressy." DH loves it long, and other people apparently do too, some have even said they hardly recognize me.

So, to sum it up, my UO is that I have really nice pregnancy hair, yet I still don't like it. :-p

If you're sick STAY THE FUCK HOME. I had a coworker who apparently came in all last week coughing and hacking over everything (she doesn't cover her mouth btw) and now, another coworker who had the misfortune to work with this sick selfish piece of shit, is in the hospital due to how severely the sickness affected her.

Good job you fucking bitch. I hope you coming in last week was worth it.

But how else are you suppose to know I am laughing? I do think it's used excessively though. Like when it's written after every other sentence. Geeze that girl is a laugh machine!

But will your husband spank you if you cut it?

I agree... DHs birthday is January 1, so that sort of improved the holiday once we were married, but the staying up late thing never held much awe for me either... I was never a big party person, so when I was younger, I always stayed up with my family just cuz it was tradition, and after midnight, I went to bed with no new revalation... very anticlimatic, as you said. I don't know that DH and I even stayed up last year.

But there's a penis growing in me. A penis.

I'm with you! It effin' pisses me off when people come to work sick and try to be the bloody hero or want to save their sick days. if I get sick from you and have to spend my sick leave because you're too selfish to keep your sick to yourself, you should expect negative outcomes. and when I say "negative outcomes" i meanEPIC MISFORTUNE (and not by accident).

I don't like to see pictures of babies with pacifiers in their mouths. One picture, whatever, every picture, ugh. What does your child really look like? I can't tell with that thing constantly in their mouth. Take it out for a cute pic!

I think it annoys me most when people on FB use it to punctuate something that is clearly NOT funny. Example: "Our truck got rear ended last night. Lol." Or "Sitting outside waiting on my mom's surgery to wrap up. Why don't they give the happy pills to the family too! Patients have all the fun! LOL"

Um, no.

I think not liking cinnamon rolls is enough to get me through this week. Although I will add Velveeta to the list since I'm feeling kinda saucy today. Nasty.

I'll see your pacifiers and raise you faces covered in food goo.

I thought of another.

My favorite place to shop for clothes is Costco.

Bold. I don't agree, but I like your style, you daredevil, you.

I don't like sleeping with DH. He snores really bad and it keeps me up all night. I get a lot of grief for not wanting to sleep in the same bed. We have a better relationship not sleeping together. 

I can't stand the post "It's a...." I will sometimes open the post but I definitely don't reply most of the time.

@Turn4Cindy
I think the pacifier pictures are cute in moderation. Like you have one. But i do see lots of pictures with the same baby always chompin on their pacifier and it bugs me too.

On the picture note: I cringe at potty pictures. I always see pictures of my FB friends kids sitting on the toilet with a caption like: "Harper went potty in the big girl toilet." Seriously, I think it's bad taste and that no one gets on FB to see that... Really though no one cares. Save those pictures for the family album.

This is something parents say "just you wait" about. Except my kid is almost three and I've managed to keep his face clean for photos. And I also hated pacifier photos so I took it out of his mouth if I wanted to take a picture. I think it's something that bothers some parents and not others.

I'm sticking to the one I came up with the other night: eggnog is nasty.

I don't mind babies with pacifiers as much as I mind 3 year olds with them. It just seems so unnecessary at that point.

Egg nog IS nasty. Currently there is a container in my fridge that a friend brought over, I gag everytime I think about pouring it out.

I dunno. I did one because my mom, sister and MIL all specifically, and excitedly, asked if I would do a cake. They're generally NMS, either, but my family actually was so excited about it that it was cute. *shrug* Same reason we actually had a wedding and I didn't insist on the courthouse. I don't care either way, and I think it's sweet that our family wants to celebrate together.

pandadair

I don't get the "I've known from the beginning." posts with regard to the baby's sex. You're missing a "coincidentally" in there, yo.

I don't like all these baby pics on Facebook everyone is describing, but, without them, I wouldn't get to hate read stfuparents when I'm bored. So I'm neutral.

I also really hate the siggy contest this month and I can't stand seeing most of the pictures people used because they're so gross.

I am also not a fan of this moths siggy challenge because it continually confuses me. I keep thinking all these ladies already have multiple kids and then I realize there's something wrong with the picture. ">

Christinaruth74

I thought of a UO the other day, but it wasn't the appropriate day so I waited and now I've forgotten.

For now I will say my UO is TV in a LO's bedroom.

Too soon? oh well.

I think we should start the Facebook group and cement the clique.

How 'bout 'ripe with child'...I'm ripe with a lot of things, but not a child. It grosses me out.

My son and I eat cookies and milk together while watching the ball drop. We dedicate the day to games and movies. It is now one of my favorite days of the year.....before this tradition came along, I didn't care about it at all!

My husband and I have a whole week to ourselves at a beach house over Christmas and I don't feel bad about not making the effort to visit family.

@mamacheez - Eww "ripe". Gross.

MommyDay2be

I agree that sick people should stay home HOWEVER I have the misfortune of working a retail job and it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to call in without threatening your job. In my opinion more companies should have this mentality. Everytime I'm sick and try to come in my boss gives me obvious advice in how to feel "better" and expects me to come in anyway.

Jillzy86

This may upset BF moms but I think it crazy to have a four year old and a two year old still breast feeding off the same mom. My DH's cousin leaves her boobs hanging out there during family parties while her kids run up to her for a snack. It's absolutely ridiculous and all of us are tierd of seeing her tits. If your child is in pre school s/he should not be drinking directly from you!
