Post-its--Sooner style

sooner1981

This poll is designed to determine how many of you formerly hated and/or currently hate me? If I have made an appearance on your post-it, tell me why. Too many studies? Can't handle misinformation being spread about sugar-loaded formula? Used to pay $300 bucks a week to a nanny for childcare? Bring it!!

You were never on my post-it. I will admit to having rolled my eyes at a few of your TL; DR responses, but I've always liked you.

Although I probably do like you more now than I did at first.

Never post-it status. Sometimes rolled my eyes at a particularly long response, but more in a "Oh, you!", hair-ruffling kinda way. Plus, a love-tit from Sooner is like a rare and magical beast, worth at least 10 regular love-tits. #itisknown

jennlin

indifferent, but never on a post-it.

sooner pros:
bmb twins #feb2012
very smart- wealth of information regarding AAP
always cites her sources
always nice, never heard her use a dirty word (maybe, at least you don't engage in petty fights).

sooner cons:
seventymillilon line responses that i don't have time to read
a lot of my #itscultural parenting styles disagree with AAP

overall positive, but we disagree on parenting

tashad18

You have never been on my post-it.  I'm sure I have disagreed with something you have stated somewhere along the line, but I disagree with a lot of people that I still like/consider my friends.  You really have to say something completely offensive or just continue to be a unlikeable person to be on my post it though. 

psychdoc12

Always liked you. I'm an MD and you talk my language.

skyla13

I'll be honest. You're on my "posters who scare me" post-it. But I really like you, and certainly don't think you're mean or petty. I just find you intimidating sometimes. Sometimes you give so much information, I feel like I need to just homer back in the bushes before I say something stupid and cause YOU to not like ME.

Never on post-it.  The one time you called me out on something, I went back and did more research and changed my mind.

Never on my post it. I appreciate a good debate (if one comes up) and I love that you have links and information to back up what you say.

Lee81

Never on my post tit. I used to wonder why so many people were down on Sooner so I am glad to see that reason and logic prevailed.

jennlin

will @sooner1981 please come back and validate that you don't hate any of us for admitting we at one point didn't like you, but still like you now? feeling vulnerable here.

txmom13

Always long, but thorough responses. Never on my post it. (Even if I'm not an OU fan!)

carawasa

Not on my post it but I have rolled my eyes at some of the longggg responses and vocabulary because we all don't speak the same language #ifyouknowwhatimean and I don't tend to take internet business that serious. Ugh I hate "confrontation." my palms are sweating.

MtnChickaD

I have always loved you.

Heck no. I've loved you from the start.

Thanks, guise!! I had to post and run this morning, but I was afraid of clicking back on this poll when I got back!

Just to clear the air:

-- I was never mad because my nanny was out sick. In fact, I gave her unlimited paid sick days because I didn't want her to feel compelled to come to work sick. I was mad because we had a "24 hour fever free" policy, and two mornings that week, she had waited until 7:00 am to call me to tell me that her fever had come back at like 5:00 the previous evening so she wouldn't be able to come in that day. And I was irritated that she hadn't called me the night before, when she already knew she wouldn't be 24 hours fever free by the next day, to give me the heads up to start searching for a last-minute sitter. My schedule at work is super rigid some days, and last-minute sitter problems send my anxiety soaring. I understand it is unavoidable sometimes, but I still remember the frustration of that week and the complete lack of communication... Also, I am sure being super pregnant at the time didn't make things calmer

-- I have never participated in wine/beer discussions. I have never really drunk alcohol, so (as my IRL best friend once "lovingly" told me) I have nothing to add to those conversations about how much a good drink would be appreciated on certain occasions.

-- I only ever mentioned my husband's job or my job when I thought it gave some meaning to what I was saying, like if I was giving advice about something he had told me that I had relied on in making a parenting decision. Since I do have a passion for citing my sources, I thought it was relevant to mention his occupation, in the same way that people say all the time "my pediatrician said that..." Definitely didn't want it to be annoying. I never, ever wanted to marry a doctor because I thought their hours sucked and they wouldn't have any time to hang out with family. Thankfully I met my husband and started to like him before he told me he was in his first year of medical school!

-- I did believe and still do believe that artificial sweeteners are better for you than sugar. But I also believe that water is better than both of the above. Can we still be friends?

--long posts are my trademark. I get all the feels for posts and I can't control my fingers. Please, seriously just skip my posts, rather than be annoyed. I promise I am not trying to make everyone read All. The. Words.

-- I am a very laid back, non-judge, surprisingly crunchy on many things (except co-sleeping) kind of person. Unless you are being purposefully ignorant (cough, lc###, cough), I don't keep track of who I get into debates with. I love topics that spark interest and conversation. The point of these boards is to have fun and maybe occasionally learn a thing or two. I value almost everyone's input!!

-- @carriet2018‌ you were never on my post-it. I still laugh thinking about your AE reveal with the perfect gifs for every response. You should give lessons and charge an entry fee!

-- @jennlin‌ BMB twins for lyfe! I get your reasons. And don't judge your parenting. You and @crunchymama11‌ both sound like super amazing parents. I just don't like when people try to use essential oils in diffusers against their doctor's advice to cure cancer or bacterial pneumonia in their infant, etc. and i think the decision to co-sleep ahould be made thoughtfully and rationally, after reading about safety precautions, not in desperate middle of the night in our waterbed situations. Other than that, I am an extended bf-ing, baby wearing, cloth swim diapers and training pants, early introduction of table food, organic food when I can afford it, clean anything with baking soda and vinegar, still waking up at night to nurse my 9 month old, kinda person...

--to all who have responded on here that we are good, the feeling is entirely mutual. Please don't leave me for FB. I don't know what I would do with all the free time that would create in my life!! I know the lack of gifs would make me a sad panda.

WAS on the post-it for hating animals. But I lurve you, and your cute little scuba gear.

Wait--hating animals??? Have you seen my adorable rescue dog and have I told you about how I jokingly ask my husband if we can get a guinea pig all the time?

Answer is that guinea pigs are not appropriate pets for adults. We have to wait until our daughter is a little older, then I can get myself a pig and say it is for her birthday.

LOLZ, classic Sooner. TB will now have 5 minutes to respond. @sooner1981, do you wish to reserve time for a rebuttal?

Dammit you beat me to it!

Hey now, the cliff's notes version of paragraph 56 of my response said "too long? Don't read. Ain't no thing."

The only time I was slightly annoyed was when you said you have a "surrogate medical education" or something like that. Comes off as a bit arrogant, esp when your H put in all those hours and has a degree and stuff. Thats not really post-it worthy though, its more of a miscommunication or personality difference or something. Otherwise, I am impressed by your research skills and I do really enjoy your posts!

Oh, I sincerely hope I never said that. Because I can promise I have never even thought it! I did spend many, many long hours eating dinner and holding up flash cards for my husband (and my brother when he lived with us for a year) for various Step exams and in-service exams, so I do feel like I have a lot of random knowledge about which cranial nerves control what fingers and the symptoms of really rare tropical diseases (hint: it is always a person who has just returned from a business trip). And I used to love to debate endlessly about sticky medical ethics scenarios that they discussed in that class.

But I don't assume I know anything about actually being a doctor. You guys totally deserve a freaking medal and free donuts for life for all the studying, training, 100 hours weeks, blood/sweat/tears, and administrative hoops that you have to jump through to practice medicine.

I'm wondering if she is getting you mixed up with married2premed. She definitely said that.

This, I 100% remember married2premed said something like that. I don't recall Sooner saying that, but my memory is terrible.

Phalaenopsis

nope, not mixed up, she def said it. it's buried somewhere. it's cool I was just busting sooner a little, noth but respect over here

I hope it was just a misquote or miscommunication or some kind of bump shenanigans. I really promise that thought has never crossed my mind. Except in the context that I was saying earlier about still making my husband laugh as he is telling me about a random diagnosis and I pull some random piece of flash card information out of thin air on response.
