Pineapple on pizza is delicious! Sorry, The Whole Internet.

@hypermusic LOL! My former roommates both LOVED this Hawaiian pizza from a nearby place that had ham, maraschino cherries, and of course pineapple. It grossed me out, but mostly because of the cherries and ham (I don't eat meat, so it was just the idea that grossed me out).

Bacon isn’t that great. I don’t get why people go nuts for it.

I don't want people to touch me...at all.  No I don't want to shake your hand, no I don't want a hug. My husband and kids are the only exception. This isn't just pregnancy, it's ever minute of the day.

Beyonce did not become a great musical artist until the release of Beyonce. Before that, she was a great pop star.  Her previous albums had some great hits, but a lot of filler.

If I catch you on the road not using your blinker, I automatically think you're lazy and inconsiderate. If I catch you texting while driving, I think you're an asshole.

Lazy, inconsiderate, asshole driver right here!  Lol

Well, I do try to use my signal - maybe it's 98% of the time, but I was lazy this morning, and I felt bad about it but I did it anyway.  And also it's not really texting if I'm in the bump.  So... Pass?

I am annoyed when people stick their head in my office just to say “hi” multiple times a day. I don’t need a stop and chat every time you walk to the kitchen.

UO sometimes i strongly feel like some people should be forced into being sterilized.

Example my half brother. The man has 4 daughters with 4 different women. Hes raised none of them. Doesn't pay child support. Hasn't seen 3 of them in years. Is in his 40s and in and out of prison for drugs. Wants more kids because he wants a son. I told him I'm pregnant he wbted to know what I'm having. We said we don't know yet. Went into a speech on how he will have another in the next year or 2 until he has a son.
Said and I quote "i won't stop until i get a son,".

Low key hoping someone shanks him in the ball sack.

I eyeroll at all the Kobe Bryant stuff. Is it sad he and his daughter died in the crash? Yup. It's sad when anyone dies unexpectedly or at a young age. You know what is just as sad? The other people who also died in the crash, including another 13-year-old girl, who you hardly hear about. The Bryant's are not more special just because he's famous. I eyeroll at everyone, famous and not famous, jumping on the train about what an inspiration and we're grieving and everything. I'm not grieving. I'm sad in the same way I'm sad for anyone I don't know who dies unexpectedly. I couldn't have picked him out of a crowd of two. 

I guess it's just part of my general disgust of celebrities, and them being treated as more important than anyone else. I hate that he Kardashians every move is a headline, I hate that Chrissy Teigen's every supposedly "witty clap back" on Twitter is a headline, etc. I specifically avoid clicking on any headlines mentioning them, but I hate that I'm still aware of it as a consumer of news just from seeing headlines. I hate that Beyoncé and other celebrities get sit downs with the president and just the whole celebrity culture. 

jwhite3116

I 100% agree with you @coldlife
Today I saw a headline and it said Shaq breaks down while talking about Kobe. Well no sh*t! They were best friends. That's what best friends do, they are emotionally distraught when something happens to the other. It's ridiculous, really sad, but the media around it really is ridiculous.

@jwhite3116 i rolled my eyes today at a. Article that said kobes wife breaks silence on his death for the first time.
Hes been dead like 2 or 3 days not a damn year of course shes not agreed to be interviewed yet!

lachnessmomster

@BusinessWife Girl, I'm surprised at you! STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING! 

@psychobutthead Yikes. As if finally getting a son is suddenly going to turn him into Dad of the Year. That's so unfortunate for his daughters and for the women who are raising babies alone, because he's not in the picture. Let's hope there's not another little girl who arrives sometime in the future who also won't have her daddy.

@coldlife I don't know, man. I'm not a huge sports fan by any means, but I've been thinking about that helicopter crash for days. It's haunted me. Obviously I didn't know any of the people who were lost or the families affected, but I think there's something to growing up hearing someone's name and being aware of their impact, whether it directly affects you or not, that resonates with people. I remember back when I was working at JcPenney, and someone walked by and said Michael Jackson had died. I was never a fan, and to this day would prefer not to listen to his music (particularly post-Leaving Neverland - yikes), but for a minute, it was a shock. There was a denial like, "There's no way Michael Jackson is dead." But he was, just like that.

I also think that it puts people face-to-face with how fragile life is and that it could all be over in a moment. I get that tragic things happen to ordinary people every day, and it's not that one person's tragedy is more or less important than the next, but Kobe was an inspiration to a lot of people. It's not really fair to tell people how they should be feeling about anyone's death, really, as long as it's sincere and not an over-the-top grab for attention. I DO think that the media coverage, particularly in regards to his wife's grieving process, is pretty atrocious. They reported the facts, and now it's time to stop posting clickbait articles every hour and let the families grieve. I don't know. Just some thoughts.

MY UO is that I'm obsessed with the royal family and have been following this Prince Harry/Meghan Markle drama like I've got money bet on it. Admittedly, even I am getting tired of their daily nonsense and who they're suing now, but I'm still very much invested. I've also been a long time Kate Middleton fan and got up at the crack of dawn to watch both royal weddings. I can't help myself.

psychobutthead

@lachnessmomster yeah I'm really hoping women start refusing to have kids with him. I wish men went through menopause like women and their swimmers just all dry up.

@hypermusic OMG pineapple on pizza is my favorite topping... i wont even add anything else... just pineapple

cornichonmam

@tyrion_ American bacon is not bacon, it's so gross and greasy. Canadian bacon isn't bacon either.

I love Hawaiian pizza but the cherries are a step too far.

@lachnessmomster I've got mixed feelings on the royals. As a Brit I can appreciate the work they do to promote the country, but then they have so much wealth and power just because of who their parents are (not that it is much different for many celebrities @coldlife). As for the whole Harry & Meghan drama. On one hand I completely understand that they want a more private life (like his cousins enjoy) and Meghan had been treated badly by the press, but they are walking away from the protection from the paparazzi that their royal titles grant them, and they have come across very entitled through the whole process. They have said that in the future they hope to pay back they £2m of taxpayers money that was spent renovating their "cottage", but they are already wealthy AF and Harry inherited at LOT off the Queen Mother. There are a lot of people out there who live much harder lives to earn a lot less. Rant over.

I don't really know what to do with my U/S photos, so I keep them in a drawer for a bit and then eventually throw them it away. I don't have any reason to keep them.

lachnessmomster

@roo_baby Lol! I have little memory boxes for each kiddo, which are great places to throw those random items. I always hang onto them, though!

sarah0985

@roo_baby I too have a small memory box for my daughter. Scans, a print out of my first hcg test, her hospital hat and bracelet. I don’t add much to it Anymore but I really like looking at it on her birthday. I’ll make one too for this little one
