Re: *~*~*~UO Thursday*~*~*~
bwahahaha - awww no leopard print for pretty little Cadence?
I have two saved up from this week and I actually remembered them today!!
1. I don't understand the point of naming your kid and then calling them by their initials instead (ex: Denise John Smith and then planning on calling him DJ) The only time I can see the point is if you're carrying down a name that you don't particularly love (or if you're naming a Jr), and you prefer to call them by their initials rather than the name. But other than that, I don't understand the point. I have a friend who named their baby Aurora because she loves the name, but she calls her AJ. (???)
2. I think skull & crossbones on baby attire is unfitting. I don't know why, I just do.

Me too! Hate it.

I generally hate it, too. I also cannot stand colored camouflage as a fashion statement! I've been in the army reserves for almost 14 years, and we don't wear it for fashion. it serves a purpose. I can't stand pink or purple or strangely colored camouflage patterns!
Where's MirroredImage to PSA this? For real. If you want to know what fruit your LO is pick that one, or don't, but please don't use every ticker available from TB.
Both, but especially the S&CB. It sqeeves me out.
This is definitely not a UO.
....I can kind of maybe understand two (maybe one for development and one for size if you're too lazy to click on your bump profile and see both each week) but any more than that (that don't even have any different info, just say "x weeks and x days pregnant! This many more days to go!" is completely pointless.

I think I hated the MP posts more - "This is what came out _____ is that part of my MP?" *shivers* Maybe we can just do this now:
MPs are pretty skeevy looking. Some have tinges of blood, some are just mucus-y.
MPs regenerate and the loss of part of one or the whole thing does not mean labor is imminent, but it *could* be.
I think that about sums it up - right?
YES! Thank you!
Ohh I really hate those, too! So annoying... I also hate being behind a car with a million and one Jesus bumper stickers plastered all over it. I get it. you're Christian, you love Jesus. One time I told my friend that I was going to get a bumper sticker that says "Jesus hates bumper stickers."
The natural deodorant wearers, I understand why . . . but what else?
[getting testy as a moderately crunchy mama
]
I think having a gender reveal party is overkill and a little AWish. Just my UO
DH and I will certainly do something special to announce our baby's gender but I'm not going to have 15 people over for cake and ice cream.
Oh and to add on, "NO, we can't predict how soon you'll go into labor and/or have your LO based on when you lose your MP, if in fact that is what just happened!"
Oh, I remembered another one.
It drives me bananas when people misuse terms. "I could care less" for instance is the biggest one, because by stating that you could care less, you are stating that you do in fact care to some degree. What you mean is that you couldn't care less, which implies that you don't care at all, not even a little bit.
Another one, and maybe this is more of an exaggeration but when people say, "Whelp, nothing worse than _____" (a cold shower, burnt toast, lost bag, locking your keys in your car etc) ...Uh, I can think of a lot of worse things than that. Similarly "Nothing better than _______" (finding $20 on the ground, someone buying you lunch, a nap after work...) Again, lots of things better than that you dummy!!!!! Why not just say "I love (or hate) it when ____"

Lol, the natural deoderant wearers are exactly what I was thinking of. The people who ONLY buy organic and will not touch anything else. The people who don't eat anything other than tofu or soy, who only eat twigs and berries for breakfast... and so on.
I don't consider people who cloth diaper and buy the ocassional organic choices, just FYI. Just the extreme crunchies.
ahhh right right right.
Bwahahahahaha!
Now that you mention it....
Yeah, recycling and doing other things to not completely destroy our earth asap, coupled with eating food that comes from real sources rather than chemically engineered in a lab is for LOSERS.
...Oh wait, that's me.
Hummers (the vehicle, not the sexual act) and disposable diapers for all!! Let's trash this joint!

I'm hit or miss with Olive Garden. I generally don't eat anything with red sauce there, I think it's bland. But their salad, soups and breadsticks are good!
It'll be interesting to see things get riled up here. I don't think we have enough snark quite yet, but I think once everyone gets comfortable enough, it'll happen.
I haven't seen a GBCN or a GBCB in a while.
I think you should share your list.
I live in a mecca of crunch, and I still don't know anyone that extreme. It's just all about making better/more natural choices when you can.
I think I love you.

I didn't say GREEN people... I'm all for that. Crunchy and being green is different IMO. No need to get defensive, it's an UO, being that it's unpopular. It's ok to think differently.
Damn, I should trade in my natural deodorant for the kind that contains mercury so I can increase my chances of getting Alzheimers ::fingers crossed::
And what's the difference between someone who buys organic occasionally or someone who buys all organic? Sorry if I don't like pesticides, wax and preservatives on my veggies.
Lastly, being a vegetarian also, I can assure you that there isn't anyone I've ever met who eats "only tofu or soy" (tofu is soy btw) or twigs and berries for breakfast. ....Get this... vegetarians also like vegetables, fruits, pasta, bread, cereal, oatmeal, beans, PIZZA etc. You really need to try to not be so closed minded.

I totes went and threw all my recycling into my regular trash, you know, to be a cool kid.
I lived in in too, right in L.A...the family members on my mom's side are that extreme. They didn't wear deoderant at all, I actually would have been for the unscented/natural choice compared to none at all. I hate stinky hugs.
On a related note, I give a huge side eye to those who come on here to do the opposite. You don't have m/s? Aren't constipated? Your nipples aren't sensitive? I'm sorry, somebody call the waaaaa-mbulance.
The grass isn't always greener, people. There's been a thousand reassurances that it's totally okay to *not* have symptoms on this board, it'll be alright!
Can you tell I'm one of the bitter ones who feels like they've been hit by a Mack truck, backed up over, and left for dead? Ugh.
