I automatically read that as S12 and was like ZOMG what happened?

So should I lurk?

He also says, "Eat the cake, Anna Mae!" Clearly he was not being serious.

Oh. So he's joking about domestic violence?
Huh.

Is this your BMB? Holy stupid. I don't even know which post I would pick first to rage on.

It's not just Skittles though. Someone can't believe minors can get abortions without parental consent, but not get their ears pierced without parental consent. How could you be so fucking unaware of things that go on in the lives of people that aren't you?

Someone is complaining about "only" making $24 an hour?



WHAT IS HAPPENING????

I have no desire to go work. I love being a SAHM, and don't really plan on getting another job unless it's absolutely necessary for us to need a second income. 

MH is military, the available jobs around this area, are few and far between mostly being fast food type jobs. Sorry but not worth it. I will enjoy my time with my DS and make memories and keep our house, as H got more important things to worry about.

S14 is my BMB. I am so ashamed.

This was the worst one for me:

"When I go to the grocery store, I watch in horror as the obese welfare mother has her cart filled with chips, soda, baked goods, and ground beef.  She proceeds to the checkout to get a carton of cigarettes that goes right on her access/welfare card.  How about allowing certain food items and no booze/cigarettes?  Yes, there are beer stores that take the access/welfare card too.  So awesome that we have to pay for the health care of all these obese smokers too."

Oh the horrors of ground beef.

Um, yeah, lets. So they don't fucking die.

Well, they should die. To decrease the surplus population. Ba humbug!

I like most of the girls on my BMB but I have a hard time following because I am on my second kid. Plus some of them think CIO is lazy parenting.

Did I miss something?

Been having people keep questioning me if I will get a job... I just don't give a crap. I don't want to work.

Would the extra income be nice, yes, but then again, most of what I make would just go to daycare, so it would be dumb for me to work. I'd rather we live on one income, and I get to spend my time with DS since H can't spend that much time with him

@loislayn23's response is the best, though

Just finished reading (holyshit these threads get long).  Is it too late to talk about big words?

I don't side-eye a robust vocabulary at all.  I'm all for using synonyms for variety in text, or using words that more precisely capture a given meaning.  That being said, I hate the word "utilize."  It means exactly the same thing as "use."  It is typically only used to sound more formal, but instead sounds stilted, IMO.  No one should use "utilize" ever, unless you need two more syllables for a haiku.

Good vocabulary =/= dick

FTFY. Fewer letters/syllables.

"Big words" would be even shorter but now the meaning has changed, see? Using large (or more precise) words in context is not something to be ashamed of doing, like pp said she was.

I am not ashamed of it. I just think it might come off as a little high and mighty to some people. I like that I have a good vocabulary. 

I prefer the term "highfalutin."  :-)

I've always loved the word racketeering. 

Doesn't it sound like a sport/gymnastic move?

(I know what it really means. I still like it.)

Damn can't a girl even go grocery shopping you guys???

I've pretty much forgotten what was even said. 

I'm scared to click on the A14 link. We recently had to get food stamps and I'm sure it'll make me rage-y if a lot of people agree with the girl someone quoted here.

Mine:

I think sports are boring. I'd like for DS to play a sport, but if he asks to play football I'll try to find an excuse to say no.  

Also most easter candy is gross.

My mom burned some cashier after she criticized what was in her cart while she was using food stamps once. BURNED her. Twice actually.

Good for her!

Okay trying to catch up but have to run out again.

All I got is ground beef = Hamburger Helper = delicious

and I really like the word "cahoots" - and I like to turn it into a verb, "cahooting" which I know isn't a real word - I teach English. :-)

If the tumblr world is any indication, I think the next generation of adults will be pretty kickass. 

I agree with this.  It actually helps to give me a modicum of peace about some of the nonsense that people my age still believe (re: homosexuality, marriage equality, etc.).  I really do feel like much of that is dying out and it makes me so happy.

This, except according to my Dashboard, the world will be run by cat people who are obsessed with pornography.

Same here. I fail to see an issue.

Strangely, she ignored my request to cite what % of users were abusing the system and her source. Wonder why.

Velveeta skillets are much better.

They really are, even though I like Hamburger helper too.

Those 'completes' meal boxes are pretty good too.

I feed my kid Hamburger Helper on the reg. I steam veggies then mash them up & add them in. Other than spaghetti it's one of the only ways I can get red meat & veggies in him. Judge away.

I'll have to remember that. No judging, wasn't doing that exact thing a big marketing strategy with chef boyardee?

thebanich

I don't judge anyone for what they feed their kids. I just fucking hate hamburger helper.

We lived off hamburger helper, spaghettioes, and ramen when I was little. This is what happens when you have <$100 to feed 3 kids for a month.

For some reason the term "flame away" annoys me.

Because people always use it when they say something that's not flame worthy. I'm not goin to flame you for letting your kid watch bubble guppies. Porn yes, bubble guppies no.
