UO

kaylakim

Let's see what this Thursday has in store for us! Anyone have a UO?

kaylakim

I don't like ketchup. @maryannespier‌ talking about it in yesterday's spam post made me feel a little queasy. Gag

kaylakim

Yuck yuck yuck! I think it's because growing up my brothers would pour it on everything in mass quantities. My one brother loved putting it on bread=ketchup sandwich. Gross!

lancomechica

I do not like Ketchup either.

I used to LOVE ketchup, now not so much.

My SO loves ketchup, too. I'll eat it but usually just with a grilled cheese. He puts it on beef stew @maryannespier‌ and I'm appalled, as well!

Also team ick for ketchup, while dh is team the-more-the-better-put-it-on-all-food. :-&

I finally remember on Thursday! wahoo.

If we are stuck in a small or enclosed space, such as an elevator or plane, do not put on body spray/perfume. I also think it's rude to slather on super smelly lotions (ie bath and body works) in spaces where I can't easily move/leave. I'm allergic, yo! Your need to smell like flowers on our 3 hour flight means I will be an allergy and asthma mess for at least the rest of the day. This also applies to spray-on-sunscreen being applied in ridiculous cloud forming amounts in the locker room walk-way instead of outside.
[-X [-O< :-L

Eta: if I can smell you before I can see you, you are wearing too much.

I eat ketchup on eggs. Forgot about that, yum!

Ketchup is okay on French fries and burgers only. And only when combined with mayo.

This UO brought to you by our visit to the library yesterday.

There was a little boy there who was monopolizing the toys and bossing all the other kids around. It was beyond obnoxious and we actually had to move Thomas to another area in the kid's room because this kid was taking toys out of his hands and just wasn't sharing. He had no adult intervening at all.

So I guess my UO is that even if you don't believe in helicopter parenting, you still have a responsibility to raise a compassionate, empathetic person with some semblance of social skills.

Also, it is inappropriate to have your toddler wear a Hooter's hat.

It is normal to me! Yum!

And me! Yum Yum!

@kitten80 stole my UO. Cologne/perfume should not be allowed on planes. Deodorant, however, should be mandatory. Team no ketchup (and pretty much all condiments).

atlvol

I just finished my breakfast.  Eggs with ketchup  

[Deleted User]

Ketchup on fries only.

theuntaggablek

I kinda like Hello Kitty.

grapeskittles4lyfe

how about ketchup-scented perfume? (on eggs?)

*hork*

rondokye

I'm in the mayo is for fries category.  Although, I don't mind dipping them into ketchup as well.

Apparently it is a UO that I don't think it's cool or necessary to go through my husband's phone to check up on him. A couple of my coworkers were talking about how they do this regularly with their partners and asked if I do. I said no and I've never felt the need to. I was called naive and dumb.

@citrusfamily omg! They send you emails with demands? I am so not prepared for raising kids with all of this technology. 

As an aside, how do people who are cell phone only plan to handle that as the kids get older? I think it would be awkward to give my 8 year old a cell phone of their own... and but I wouldn't want them answering mine all the time. How do you teach them phone manners? It blows my mind! LOL

@byjove03 I didn't think of that...we're cell phone only. Maybe we'll add a cell line for the house? It won't be LO's but could be the # we give out as our house # in the future...?!? Things to consider

We have a "magic jack" for the house phone. The service isn't pefect but it is super cheap and gives us a number to have as the house number when we don't want to give out our cell numbers, and could be useful with older kids too. 

sparkymcgeee

I'm with Val. Fries, and burgers only. And meatloaf.

I think that we've talked about this before but I believe what goes on in other people's marriages is there business. I believe in transparency in my marriage. No secret passwords or shit like that. Secret anything gives the appearance that there's something to hide. I don't check up on my H but I have and I could if I needed to.

I think that if you have to look then deep down you already know the answer.

I 100% agree that what works in my marriage doesn't have to be what works for everyone else's. I guess I didn't really appreciate being called naive and dumb because my marriage isn't the same as theirs.

NewbieMomie

@danielledunning‌ you're naive and dumb to those b's because they're clearly jealous or going through something themselves. That would also make me naive and dumb bc my h and I share everything, no passwords or locked phones. I even tell him when an ex- boyfriend sends me a hello text and let him read it with my responses. Nothing to hide here.

I'm team ketchup on fries, hot dogs, burgers and egg sandwiches.

My UO- I'll consider holistic approaches to certain things before medical approaches. SOME things, not life threatening. I'm having tooth trouble and they gave me a shot of trameel to calm the nerve last night. Totally homeopathic so I tried it. If it persists though I'm heading to a root canal sadly. How about you ladies? Any preference or heck nos?

I agree. The only time I bother to look at DH's phone is when we are both waiting for a response on something and I hear it chrip...I checked his phone a lot when we were selling the house, lol! Otherwise, IDGAF.

I check DH's phone only to see what crazy stuff his mother or dad say. All for comic relief!

I know some people really enjoy driving, but I hope everyone necessary for these decisions cooperates so we can all have driverless cars asap. Then we could get shwasty faced at dinner, not have to worry about kids being dumbasses on the road, people in their 90s could still go out, no more getting lost, etc. etc. It would be awesome.

A friend of a friend that works in the field said it will be a reality in 10 years or so. I cannot wait!!

Awesome! I really hope that happens before Pickle is of driving age  :-SS

This is terrifying to me.

UO: I do not like cruise control

FFFC: using cruise control makes me feel like I'm not in control of my car, and my brain goes to Herbie and I start to imagine I'm in some kind of sinister possessed car. I avoid using it whenever possible.

giraffeluvspi

Team no cruise control over here. I do drive a pretty technologically advanced car, though, so I'm limited on how much I can protest the idea of cars that drive themselves. It would just be sad if we all lost that skill. I know my parking skills are suffering now that I have a car with sensors in the front and the back. When I swap cars with DH I need to give myself a mini-pep talk before backing into a parking space which I'm embarassed to admit.

ilovemyducks21

The perfect sauce is Goop. It's ketchup and mayo mixed. Perfect for fries. And anything really. I've been on a ranch kick though lately. Especially on my scrambled eggs.

On the phone thing, that's definitely not a UO. We don't check each other's phones or emails, although we have the access if we were to need to. No secret passwords either.

[Deleted User]

Losing skills happens. It's a normal part of advancement. Tons of women my age don't know how to sew, for example. I would not be sad if no one could drive. I don't trust human drivers with their sleepiness, distractions, and road rage.

Mom2bois85

I gasped and clutched my pearls at the thought of anyone disliking BBQ sauce...

Bumper stickers are dumb. All they are, are people trying to get attention for something. Not a fan of personalized licence plates either. I mean, really?

Flame away

MRads

I'm team Ketchup, as long as it is Heinz.

And I'm with @KateJuly2013‌ not a fan of bumper stickers.

KateJuly2013

@BetsyD2010 I read an article recently saying that sick fuckers target cars with Baby on Board stickers. Moms with babys are easy targets.

Excuse my language but there arent any other nouns to accurately describe such people.
