Haddock got a Doc McStuffin's balloon yesterday at the toy store. He wanted it, but the girl kept trying to push the boy balloons on him. I told her he liked Doc and that's the one we wanted. She looked at me like I had two heads. Her opinions are unpopular to me. 

Parker frequently dresses up for tea, pours tea, wears jewlery, and prefers barbies (naked barbies) to trucks a lot of the time... doesn't bother me a lick when he carries around a babydoll, he needs to learn to nurture too... he may be a daddy someday. -- Even if he's not I don't give a fuck.

both kids play with both gender toys, don't care, not a big deal.  Pisses me off when people make jokes about him being overly feminine, or potentially gay... so I say, I don't care if he is, (I really don't) I just want my son to be happy and if that doll is making him happy, then that's just fine with me.

@haddocky  DS loves Doc, so do I  

IMHO it's one of the more enjoyable kids shows to watch. Although, the other day she said something that rubbed me the wrong way and now I can't remember what it was. Must not have been that hard of a rub, huh. 

haha hard rub... hahahahahahaha.

I can attest to Ford making the 12 passenger vans still. We own one that was bought while I was still pregnant, for work purposes not because we plan to have 9 more children.

Julie probably only uses her fancy blender for all the meals in her household. She probably had to sell the microwave and stove to buy it. I feel sorry for her kids.

I don't shop Gap.  Old Navy is cheaply made, I don't shop there either.

It's been a long time.  I don't have an opinion yet.  I'm sure I'll get one based on the others. 

I also agree with MAS that pulling the movie was stupid. 

hmmm... I'll be back.

I love ON, but mostly because I can jeans that are long enough for me without paying a fortune.

Yeah but they aren't even made of denim anymore they stretch out and look crappy and fall apart... at least in my experiance.

I'm just going to put this here...

Also, I feel like we have to give ON credit for rockstar jeans, AKA cheap enough to buy in several sizes after you have a baby and your body is wonky.

And all the over mothering... trying to make everyone get along... REALLY? ugh... good riddance.

I have a UO, brought to you by my work's Christmas happy hour the other day -

You (in general) should not use the Christmas work function as an excuse to get intoxicated and flirt and hook up with (married) coworkers, and then expect people not to talk about it the next day. I don't know what it is about Christmas work functions that let people think they get a pass for doing so. It's always Christmas time. It's like they bottle in pent up sexual desires for each other and let it all out at the end of the year. You're giving Christmas a bad name!!

I drive a 2004 Honda Civic with 175,000 miles. Clearly, I'm good peoples.

2000 Accord with 290,000.

Does that make me more good peoples than you? :P

I'm on Team Hoping she got into a desperate situation and made a really bad decision but knowing that is probably naive at this point with everything I've learned trying to get to the bottom of it to make a mod decision.

I'm probably the only person that team. The cheese continues to stand alone. :P

I think I'm somewhere on that team, too.

Also, I'm not as good a person as you guys, because my used CR-V only has 50k miles on it. Sigh.

Coworkers plural? Was this a group event or several individual pairings?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Several individual pairings. But I wouldn't be surprised if a group event happened that I don't know about. You guise, this place can give "The Office" a run for their money. It's so dysfunctional, painfully awkward, and just offensive. But you just can't not watch it. Says an employee that's been here for 9 years...

@chiboo9, are you Pam or Meredith?






If I were to choose between the 2, I'm gonna go for Pam.

Something about Meredith rubs me the wrong way...

















Amiright, ladies?

My UK Playstation thinks I'm still there and lets me watch BBC iPlayer and 4OnDemand here

I'm one who pays full price often. I just don't shop enough to know when the sales are, or to be getting the coupons. Plus I also procrastinate a lot, so when I need something, I need it now and can't wait for a sale. But we also have a shitton of boy hand-me-downs, most of our friends had boys before us. So there are somethings that DD has worn that have been worn by like 6 other kids before her.This makes me feel less guilty about the money I do end up spending on clothes. 

I adore gymboree. No where else consistently sells dragon themed apparel and DS1 is still obsessed with them.

Um.. of the shows that make it over here, sure. Of what is actually on TV, it's really about equal amount of complete shit.

A colleague is a huge fan and showed me some episodes. I just didn't get it.

DH and I were just doing this dance on Sunday before we got ready for DS2's party. The boys were not amused.

I never said I didn't like the gap and baby gap! I loooooove both. But with one income my wallet does not love them as much. If I was working all bets would be off.

I know someone who would say your DHs income was plenty. Lavish actually. Range Rovers are the norm. 

OMG! I love you!

Is there video evidence of this dance? If so, can we see it?

I think I just had an epiphany on why my back has been hurting all week. 39 might be the year I need to retire my sweet dance moves.

The Office (US) started out okay, and should have ended LONG BEFORE it did. It got stupid, and that taints my overall opinion of it. This happens to too many shows. Make like, three seasons of something, then stop before it gets dumb.

Also Creed was the best character.

Ugh, this is exactly how I feel about HIMYM. I felt very bitter about the last season. I devoted a lot of time and emotions in those characters, just to find out what should've been done 10 seasons ago!

Whoa Nellie! Tell me who has said that a toddler is overly feminine or might be gay because he is playing with a doll. because let me at them. Seriously. Let. Me. At. Them.

Fucking thank you.  I won't divulge but I will say this, they got an ear full from me... I mean maybe it's all in jest but no, fucking no. He is a BABY, he plays with what makes him happy and that's fine by me.

Fair enough. But what about the spin offs? Anyone else out there love Torchwood?

@byjove03, I like Torchwood! I keep bitching cause it's not coming back for a while!

sparkymcgeee

I actually agree about the statue of liberty. That was jumping the shark a bit for me. DH is terrified of the weeping angels. I LOVE them. They're my favorite villain. Cybermen creep me out.

The more I hear about Dr who the more confused I get. The plot of it is so lost on me. I started out thinking it was about a doctor, in a hospital, like greys or ER. Weeping angles and cyber men makes me think not so much.

The story line is sort of wibbly wobbly....
