UO Anyone?

Let's get this started!

SPAM inspired me this morning.

I really strongly dislike little debby/hostess style snacks.  The last time I really ate them was every once in a while in high school, and then recently had a twinkie - and barf.  That was super gross.  Maybe I'm just not eating the right ones, but I figure I'm better off without them ;-)

I wish I didn't like Little Debbie's...my food-related UO: I don't like ice cream. I know I should be all

They always leave me a little disappointed too. They don't live up to what I remember then being when I was a kid. Although, every now and them a Suzy Q does hit the spot but then I just feel gross afterwards.

More of an FFFC than an UO but I'll be taking Will in for his checkup tomorrow and probably won't remember....

I side eye some of the parents at jacks school. We live a half a mile away and walk whenever possible. So many kids live so much closer and their parents drive them. Some even live within sight distance of the school and I will see them get in their cars, get in the drop off queue and then drive back home. Next door is a 5th grader and two houses down is a boy in jacks class and his older sister. I've offered to have the kids walk with me both years and no one has taken me up on my offer and these are parents that I know!

I hate going to the spa, getting my hair cut, pedicures etc it isn't relaxing. I just feel awkward.

I hate massages too...not a fan of people touching and rubbing me

School should be year round.

I'm with you on this one.  When I was visiting relatives who live on a street that is a half mile long from end to end with a school bus pick-up where it hit a main road, I saw all these parents loading kids into SUVs and minivans and driving them to the bus stop.  This was in Florida, too, so it's not like they would have had to go up hill both ways in the snow.  Why?  Is there something I'm missing, like the HSA has a non-vaxxing rule and all the kids have polio?  Is there some other reason people feel a need to drive somewhere that it takes less than 10 minutes to walk?

I think middle names are incredibly important.  I see over on the Baby Names board people commenting on things with, "it's not like you're going to be using it very often [in reference to a middle name" 

IDK.  I've just always loved middle names, combining the first and middle names, and using them often - though not all day, every day. 

Alex doesn't have a middle name so neither does Grayson. I have no idea why his parents didn't give him one but he wanted to carry that on with his son. I think that is just as important as a middle name.

I don't know that if we have another boy if he'll have a middle name or not. If we have a girl then she'll have a middle name and she'll either have my middle name of Ann or we'll give her a middle name in honor of one of our moms.

I live about 10 minutes from the school and rarely walk. Judge away folks. In the morning, it's hard enough trying to get 3 of them out the door on time. Try to do it even earlier to walk? Not likely. In the afternoon for pickup, sometimes I'll walk if it's nice. If I could let the baby nap for 10-15 extra minutes and drive, guess what, I'm driving. Not sorry.

I hate caramel , milk chocolate and cake. This could be a driving force in my dislike of little Debbie snacks.

Middle names are uber important in our world. We have used them to honor maiden names or deceased family members in our family. Which is good because it have us an out for the ridiculous hyphenation going on for DH that I refused to keep going.

We live half a mile from school but it's across a busy street and on my way to work so I'm going to have to figure this out down the road. In big on walking if you can but not sure of the logistics down the road.

I agree that anything that is a traditional snack cake or food is gross.  Makes me want to vomit just thinking about it.

My UO: It is perfectly acceptable to spend most of your day at work "window" shopping on the internet for clothing that you might want.

A little late to the game, but I don't see the big deal about driving your kids to school/daycare even if you live close if it is what works best for your schedule. Our daycare is a few miles away, but even if it were a five minute walk from our house, we would still drive him every morning because that's what would work best for our schedules. There is a tight window between the earliest time we can drop him off and the time we have to be at work, and if dropping him off rather than walking saves even 5-10 minutes, that's worth it in my book. (Also, if you walk the kid there, you have to walk back to your house to get your car for work, so it takes double whatever the walk time is.)

So I don't mind if people want to do it because I don't know or care what their personal reasoning is.

Also another late UO, inspired by the Emmy's thread: I haven't been interested in watching awards shows in years. They just don't do it for me anymore.
