I think cart covers are ridiculous. Just strap your kid into the grocery cart already.
I thought they were unnecessary too. Until I got Hamd Foot Mouth disease from one. Only 5% of adults ever get it. Awesome.
I'm surprised that everyone don't catch something every single time they touch those things! A very large percentage of the population don't wash their hands after using the restroom or wash properly in general so NO THANK YOU I don't want someones fecal matter in my child's mouth!!
If you don't at the very least wipe down a grocery cart before putting your child in it you are an ignorant and not to mention negligent fool. People purchase raw meats from grocery stores. They fondle said meats and then touch the handles on that grocery cart without ever having wiped their hands.
The risk of e-coli and salmonella alone are enough reason to use a cart cover and/or wipe down a cart.
I LOVE YOU!!

I will be using a cart cover FOR SURE. Carts are disgusting and I realize that a lot of places have things to wipe them down but not all places do. Carts are plain gross and I dont even like touching them
I was on the fence with cart covers. Then, the one time we put DS in a cart without the cover, he ended up in the hospital the next morning because he picked up a stommach bug from somewhere and couldn't stop vomitting. I don't know if he picked it up from the cart, but I'm not chancing it again.
I suck at quoting today. Meant for first reply poster.
I just wanted to clear myself up. I was bumping from my phone and kept hitting the wrong button. I was trying to quote the 2nd reply, not the first. About the suits.
On a somewhat related note, I think Easter baskets for infants are really dumb.
I thought I was the only one. And almost gave in to TB peer pressure to make D an Easter basket. Then I smacked myself.
D will not be getting an Easter basket and I'm pretty sure he won't give a sh!t.
This - and I did not wrap DD's christmas presents - she was only 3 months old! We only bought her a stuffed musical lamb anyhow. My mother bought her a ton of stuff and wrapped it all - I was unwrapping gifts forever and DD was just sitting there going "What is this?"
I think wall to wall carpeting is almost always tacky.
And I think it's rude to ask someone to remove their shoes when they enter a house.
The shoe thing is a very Midwest thing. When we moved out here, we were like WTF?
So if someone treks through mud prior to entering my house, it is rude to ask them to remove their shoes? Will they be paying to have my carpet cleaned?

I read something that said about 90% of shopping carts have traces of fecal matter on them. FECAL MATTER. I ALWAYS use the wipes they put next to the carts. Gross.
You didn't read my reply But on a lighter note I read that 65% of statistics are made up on the spot

Word. I think there was even a study done saying the handle bar often contains more faecal matter than a toilet seat. Um, no thanks...I think I'll use the cart cover!
Edit: sorry just now read the replys after this and I am not the first to mention this. oops.
See? That's different to me. You had already developed "relationships" with people, you were known, etc. You do not get hmmmmed from me! I guess I'm picturing someone who started fresh out the gate and never looked back. But now you've made me realize that any number of people with gold/platinum status and a recent start date could have had their post count started over so now I feel like I have to bomb this UO.
Now I have to come up with another one ...
LOL Sorry I bombed your UO.

Oh, and I thought Luke was precious in his bunny suit. We actually busted Spencer's out last night and he was just as cute in his. I question the sense of humor of anyone who can't get on board with an adorable baby rocking a bunny suit. Yes, they are ridiculous.
Ridiculously awesome.
I pretty much always agree with you..
It is safe to say I lurve you I think... (is that creepy??)
I think that the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is used too much.
On a semi-related note, I loathe the phrase, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Someone needs to refine this. What the hell is the point of having cake if you can't eat it?
I always thought it to mean, "If you eat the cake, it's gone. You can't eat the cake and then expect it to still be there, all moist and delicious." Can't have it both ways, or something like that. Always made sense to me.
I understand what the phrase is intended to mean, but I just don't follow the actual verbiage.
To me, it should say, "You can't have your cake and a glass of milk."

I think having a shopping cart cover that you don't wash after every use or at least every few uses is just as bad as not using a shopping cart cover.

Past 6 months old I think posting the 'adjusted age' of your preemie is bullshit. When your kid is a year are you really going to say 'adjusted age: 10 months 3 days"?

Oh you are so right! When my son turned 6 months old his preemie status dissappeared!
Haha no I just like to swear and I'm trying to cut down around LO... so now it comes out in other ways. It bugs me no more than any other UO bugs its holder, I imagine.

I actually don't have a UO today. I am enjoying reading all of them though.

My UO:
I looooooooooooooove Britney Spears. I think she is incredibly awesome.
Thank you
I had fun with it.

Well said. All the side eyeing and judgeing is sort of irratating. I kept thinking get a life.

Sticking with the germs topic:
My real UO is that nail salons are gross. 3/4 of them do not sanitize properly. I don't even want to think of the germs in those places.
