1. I really don't understand the obsession that grown women have with the movie Mean Girls.

If I wasn't at work, I would gif the shit outta this. I just don't understand how you DON'T understand?!

I will say, it may have something to do with the fact that I was 15 years old when it came out.  But, I doubt it.  

Right?! It's like asking why grown women in 1994 had as obsession with "The Breakfast Club" or "Pretty In Pink"

 

If you don't like it, that's your prerogative. But grouping all "grown women" and questioning it? It's a cult classic!

I think that I don't get it because I was part of the Clueless generation and was pre-Mean Girls... Like, was out of grad school and working when it came out, so I've *bows head in shame* never actually watched the entire movie.

I strongly dislike it when as soon as someone finds out where I'm from, they immediately think I just jumped off the shrimp boat and want to know if I've ever been to Mardi Gras and if we really have drive-thru daquiris. Although Swamp People is actually a very real culture down here, it is a very SMALL one.  And not everyone dresses in camo 24-7 or has a beard like Uncle Si.  Stereotypes are dumb.

Amen to that!!!! Drives me crazy!!!! However I would KILL for a drive through daquiri right now! Who cares that I'm knocked up and it's 11:30 am.

I just started watching Star Trek the next generation on netflix. I came from a very geeky home (Star Wars and The Lord of the rings were other household staples). It makes me happy

Also my five year old niece is into my little pony right now, which I loved when I was her age. It's not the same as it was back then, but it makes my heart happy

I also love princess bride, labrynth and cutting edge. Soo many good movies!!!

I can't remember if I have ever seen labyrinth. However my #1 all time favorite movie is Princess Bride. I could quote the whole thing... And in high school my friends and i watched The Cutting Edge so many times it wore out the tape (yep I am that old) Toepick!

If you can't remember, then you haven't seen it... that movie is unforgettable 

@yurizaba took the words out of my mouth. Even if you saw it once, 25 years ago, you'd remember it. 

P.S. I finally read The Princess Bride last year. I highly recommend it.

I have a coworker that doesn't believe in saying thank you.  At all.  I'm trying to decide how passive aggressive it would be to say "you're welcome" all the places where he should have said thank you as a hint that perhaps he should occasionally show some appreciation.

I do it this all the time especially when someone is just being flat out rude. My sister hates it.

Here's my FFFC...I don't sympathize with people who do not like people in their lives. I don't care if it is your mother, father, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, ect. Just because they have similar DNA to you, doesn't mean you have to continue to see or speak to them. If you CHOOSE to continue this relationship, that means you no longer have the right to complain about it. Wanting a happy life doesn't make you a bad person. However, keeping a bad person around does make you a stupid one.

I really wna do the dead with DH, but things kinda suck with us right now. He won't even sleep in the same bed as me we've been together for 4 years and it's been mostly fighting for us. I love him, I can't see my future without him. Ugh.

So I was sitting here eating one of the individual servings of petite dill pickles... I ate all of  the pickles, no more pickles in the house... so I'm sipping on the pickle juice

What's more is that one song keeps running through my head, "sippin on gin and juice"... but I replace it with pickle juice.

Confession: I get upset when people DON'T participate in their ticker change day. With my last BMB I got to know who people were based on those damn things. I  even lurk the days that weren't mine to read the GTKY. It was a lot easier taking people in smaller "chunks" over 7 days than trying to remember people from long, gigantic threads like this one....so PARTICIPATE for cripes sake!

(brought to you by a girl who started today's ticker change)

The ones who have each individual person called out with questions in the OP are beyond overwhelming. It's just too much so I don't participate. Also not a lot exciting happening here at ten weeks. Also I guess this can be my FFFC is that I'm a super paranoid internet weirdo and do not post pictures or personal information on TB and I try not to even tell anecdotal stories that could be identifying. So that's part of why I think no one knows me- I'm not a huge participant for myself. But I read everything and love giving love tits and offering support.

@sweetturnip Dude, Friday doesn't roll like that! You can come in and post your info and comment on other's stuff if you want, but there is no pressure to respond to every single person who participates (not that there is anything wrong with that...but, it is very overwhelming)

Well, both my mum and dad had green eyes, and were very pale, and they were both Mexican. The thing is that people believe many stereotypes are true. But (as every other country) citizenship doesn't come with an adscription to religion or race, and that seems difficult to understand to many.

But you're not like REAL Mexican then. j/k As a Spanish teacher, I spend all day correcting stereotypes.

When i read erotic lit I get irritated when the guy comes like 3-7 times. Really? I don't know a single guy who can go more than once in a 12 hour period.

I once dated a guy who would want to like 5 or 6 times a day... We took a vacation together once, and like every 2-3 hours, he'd be in the mood again.  It was freakish.

This! Thank you. I have VERY few people that agree with me on this. My mother is not a good person and I don't want her in my life. I always get "you have to talk to her, she's your mother!" I don't see how that makes a difference... She is still a bad person. I have many other amazing people that I DO want in my life, I would rather make time for them than struggle through a relastionship with her. DH has been one of the only people to support me on this in the past couple years.

I totally agree. A mother is someone nurturing and kind. The woman who gave birth to you is something different. I see the distinction.

Yes!  My sister is a basket case and frankly I trust her about as far as I can throw her.  She's an adult, I can't fix her life so she just stresses me out.  That, and she makes no attempt to stay in contact with me, so I've only spoken to her a few times in the last 8 years.  And I completely cut off my step dad when I was 14 because he cheated on my mom and was basically an asshat afterwords (I also thought he was my biological father until I was 21... yes, I have issues).  My youngest sister (not the basket case) still tries to have a relationship with him which I don't understand because he puts no effort towards it at all, it just makes me sad.

I am the same! Mom is White, dad is Hispanic. Same skin tone and everything.

For some reason strangers feel it is okay to ask me "Where are you from?" I always give them the smart ass response of "I'm from Florida". Some times I ask them to guess, because people are always wrong.

Laurell K Hamilton writes in excuses for that stuff. The men are all supernatural in some way so have more stamina and in the Merry Gentry series Merry is descended from a line of fertility fey so has the ability to bring her men around again....and again....

There is no feeling like you're married. You're married and have a husband, engaged and have a fiancé, or dating and have a boyfriend. "Husband" is not a term of endearment. It's a title. That you get after you're married. Not before.

I hate when people do this on facebook. 

Me: Oh, congrats on being married. How long have you been married?

Person I've Revently Reconnected With: Oh, we're not married. But we practically are!

Me: Are you engaged?

PIRRW: Not yet! I did get a promise ring three years ago though so hopefully soon!

Me: ....

It annoys the shit out of me!! It was actually my first (only?) UO a few weeks ago on this board.

Or when their status is ''married". Then "it's complicated" then they're broken up and all of a sudden "MARRIED" again!!! *eye roll*

Agreed. I was with DH for over 10 years before our wedding day (we met my freshman year in college), we bought a house together, and his parents would call me their DIL, but he was NOT my husband until he was my husband.

I used the term significant other when I wanted to convey a stronger tie than BF/GF.
