I love a good beard!

JWest07

I love beards, including long ones. I also love handlebar moustaches, especially long ones that cover their lips.

No to facial hair, though I suppose some well-groomed stuff might be acceptable.  My DH just... can't.  Nope nope nope.  I'm so glad his job prohibits it.

Pro tip: never move to Oregon if you hate beards. Growing them is pretty much a professional sport here.

I said pass gas when I was younger I never really thought it was weird until I was older, and we said threw up. ">

This. I still don't think it's weird.

I am a "throw up" person too. DH however is a barf guy. He teaches our toddler all kinds of wonderful things... The first time she told me she didn't want to eat her dinner and that it would make her barf I knew exactly who was responsible. Now he didn't tell her to say that but he says things when he reads to her and doesn't realize how much they absorb...

When I was little I had a friend who said pass gas instead of fart or toot. I always thought it was so weird and proper. I was never into the potty jokes as a kid but hearing a kid say passed gas was strange.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with barf of puke instead of vomit if you're actually talking about vomiting.

@AprilMay9‌ - my parents somehow believed that "poopy noise" was a better replacement for fart. Really?? Even as an adult now, I'm still laughing about it. They also were 100% against the use of "sucks." If only they knew what I heard on the bus every day...

My UO:

I cannot stand listening to "The Little Drummer Boy," and "Do You Hear What I Hear." I also despise candy canes (unless they're consumed within a chocolate/pretzel candy).

The Pillsbury Dough Boy and the Downy Fabric Softener bear are creepy and not cute.

My MIL says poofs, which I think is odd

Not that I own a Britax or necessarily intend to buy one, but if the foam on my baby's car seat cracked in half without a good reason and the company just told me to tape it back together and called it safe to protect him in a crash... I'm side eyeing the hell out of that one.

Farting at my ILs is called fluffering, or if someone wants to be funny they say they shot a bunny. I have no idea where it came from or why. :-??

I just bought a Britax marathon, and the padding on the outer cover would have more absorption and cushioning, in my opinion.

JessieAlbin

Wouldn't taping any part of the seat, essential or not, count as an alteration to the seat and then absolve the company of liability in the event of an injury in a crash? I'm not calling the thing a death trap but it sounds off to me. At the very least it's awful customer service; I mean, L.L. Bean is sending out a sled part to @Aprilmay9 on a 25+ year old product. How hard is it to replace a piece of foam, especially when you're selling safety products to new moms? It just doesn't sound like a smart business move if they want to instill consumer confidence in their target market.

JessieAlbin

Well... That's what I get for having an opinion before collecting all the info. Carry on, Britax.

He car seat company isn't liable for anything in a crash regardless.
