Re: UO Recap, 5/16 edition
Spooko thinks it?s very tacky to update your FB relationship status to being in a relationship with person B while still married to person A. I feel like some divorces take forever, but in general this is tacky. Somewhat POPULAR
pghmortdoll thinks Guiness tastes like hairspray. I know some people don?t like it, but that?s a new one to me. (Please note: Booze =/= food.) UNPOPULAR
Bostonkisses2 thinks Claymation is creepy. She is very, very wrong. So wrong. It?s cute and charming! Slightly POPULAR, much to my chagrin. Wallace and Grommit are crying somewhere.
RondackHiker doesn?t like completely perfect thick lawns. POPULAR
RondackHiker thinks there are times it is responsible to euthanize an animal before it is completely crippled or dying. I agree, although there probably is some nuance of disagreement as to when that point is. VERY POPULAR
RondackHiker likes jorts, particularly on little boys. VERY POPULAR, somehow? The Jort haterz must have missed this one.
pghmortdoll thinks smash cakes are a waste. I agree 100% POPULAR, with some controversy
kryptic doesn?t like beer. Somewhat UNPOPULAR, but preferences do vary.
No. That beautiful formatting and compiling the true popularity of the UOs is though. It's forcing me to finish the whole thing before posting, more or less.
Oh the
ETA: Too late. Oh well, I'm leaving it because of reasons.
// I love you too. //
thank you, I have been waiting for this and it came at lunch time when I can actually read it. The stars have aligned.
Bostonkisses - I agree, claymation and anything with whatever animation is in The Nightmare Before Christmas is creepy to me.

About me 2007: Started TTC. 2008: OB prescribed clomid, went to RE and was Dx with PCOS. 2009: IUI #1 w/follitsim and trigger = BFP. B/G Twins born at 33 weeks. 2012: TTC #3, Round 2 of Letrozole w/TI = BFP, missed m/c at 8 1/2 wks. Currently on the bench as we make plans for a new home. Anxious to start TTC #3 within the next year!
KJmashup can?t get it up for the Black Keys. Music UOs are ok, although Taylor Swift and 1D have been beaten to the point neither is worth discussing. For me, the Black Keys are like the Foo Fighters. There?s nothing wrong with them, but nothing that excites me either. They just kinda exist. SOMEWHAT POPULAR
Pfft thinks the term ?bravery? is thrown around too much. I agree. VERY POPULAR
nancy30005 thinks birthday shout outs to children that can?t read on FB are ridiculous. I disagree... I think it?s used as a literary device. VERY UNPOPULAR
speer06 thinks it?s dumb to water grass. She should look into low water landscaping using native plants! not addressed
speer06 enjoys Natty, and also Guiness. Sounds like she?ll just put any beer in her mouth. I can?t fault that too hard. not addressed
JellyBelly doesn?t understand the point of homeschooling. CONTROVERSIAL and discussion inducing, as the topic often is.
acaudill75 doesn?t think a doctor?s note is a sufficient reason to wear skirts to work. This isn?t really a UO, but it amused me. It?s interesting, because in some professions like Law, a skirt is viewed as more professional than pants. This also may have inspired more comments than anything else. Stanky vag. DISCUSSION INDUCING and GROSS
amykins thinks teens should have free, unlimited access to BC without parental consent. I agree. Ignored, presumably because POPULAR.
mamaREB29 thinks if you?re dining on someone else?s dime, you should show some restraint with what you order. I agree, especially with booze. VERY POPULAR with some discussion
(everyone likes food)
(meta talk)
JellyBelly has no clue how to edit quote trees and feels stupid for it. Not sure where the UO is there.
Made it, second week in a row! Whoop!
LOL at meta talk.
And yes, this.
Agreed. Good job LD!

LoisLayne23 loves the Duggars. I have nothing against them, although if *I* was polygamous, I?d be having waaaaay more sex than they seem to. Then again, I know how much of a C-Block ONE child can be... Many people think the Duggars are crazy, and there was lot of Duggar Talk. We?ll call this UNPOPULAR.
Google Drive is amazing!
ETA: So, I can't keep the Duggars and the Sister Wives straight. I fail.
Wait - when did they become polygamous? I thought all those kids came out of one uterus?

jorkz821 dislikes perfume and cologne. I agree. CONTROVERSIAL. Oh, and for me, BBW = Big Beautiful Woman.
piglet6609 doesn?t like booze at all. not addressed
piglet6609 also doesn?t like the ?9 months on, 9 months off? mindset with baby weight. I agree, especially if the mom BF?s for a full year. not addressed
mamaREB29 doesn?t think people should use the word ?lucky? when referring to baby weight loss, as she worked her but off to lose it. some controversy.
(mostly duggar talk and Blanket Training)

(discussion)
I fail so hard. I thought the Duggars were the Sister Wives. Ugh. Laugh at me all you want.
I like claymation. I know a bit about the process it takes for it to happen, so I have an appreciation for claymation and stop motion animation.
mrs_sexy doesn?t understand how winning the lotto can mess up a person?s life. The issue is, money can change relationships, and the cliche that relationships matter more than money is true. Also, a lot of people blow through it way too fast. Look at MC Hammer for a great cautionary tale about sudden wealth. Technically UNPOPULAR?
(Duggard talk)
When mbenit4 sees a well behaved child, she thinks that child must have been taught not to think for themselves. Sarcasm? Please don?t confuse your recapper if it is
Page 11:(more lotto talk)
mbenit4 doesn?t get why so many people are against CIO. Discussion Inducing, since it was phrased in a very moderate, tempered way.
mbenit4 doesn?t get the ?must get to disney? mentality. She also doesn?t get the need for family vacations. I don?t either. I never really liked family vacations. DW, meanwhile is like a crazed animal that is always trying to plan vacations and road trips for us, costs be damned. I feel like this might be the difference between her being SAH and me feeling like I don?t get to spend enough waking hours at home. I do love to travel, but I?d prefer to save our money for one big trip than piss it away on a bunch of little mini-trips. Somewhat POPULAR
mbenit4 thinks all children should be taught to swim. I agree. VERY POPULAR
ReeseFox vented
eddy321 doesn?t agree with the blind love for all soldiers. I agree to a certain extent, especially considering the statistics that are coming out about how much sexual assault goes on in the military. Obviously there are good and bad people in all walks of life. But deployment is tough, and I?m glad someone else is doing it and not me. Not really addressed.
LuckyDad thinks Christina Aguilera is hotter now at her current weight than she was as a skinny teenager.

(creationist museum talk)
I feel like I grew up on it. I made my own stop motion video with my action figures. I'm still pissed I can't find the VHS tape in my mom's house that has it on there so I can upload it to youtube.
Seriously though, Gumby. Wallace and Gromit. So beautiful.
I had a UO earlier this week and I do remember it but I feel so crappy that I don't have the energy to type it. It wouldn't have been too scandalous anyway.
Now, LD, question. Do you like Christina the way she was her last season on The Voice or how she is now after dropping like 20 lbs? She's still not skinny teenager but she's svelter than she was a few months ago.
You're not alone in this opinion.
ETA: fixed?
If I had to pick, I'll take the slightly more svelte version. But neither would be kicked out of bed for eating crackers.
Well, the Tim Burton stuff is SUPPOSED to be creepy. So if you're mostly talking about Nightmare Before Xmas and Coraline... yeah, those are cute/creepy. Creepute?
::high fives LD::
I'm really glad you managed to win the Teen Diva war between you, Britney, Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore. You always had the best voice of the bunch.
I'm surprised this is a UO!

Now for this week's "awards":
MOST UNPOPULAR

I have inconsistently declared a Most Unpopular Opinion. Some weeks there is too much dramz to be worth it, and others I get lazy.
I love how much joy this seems to bring to people. Especially since I've made it pretty clear just how easy it is to make the recap. Just don't talk about food or Taylor swift. Helps if you make it a clear UO, not a shoot-off discussion. And yeah, occasionally I lump shoot-offs in. But a person could say "I think the color yellow is ugly" and I would recap them, weak as that UO would be.
ETA: Cuz seriously, I've thrown out some really weak UOs in recent weeks and recapped them myself. It's not just nepotism.

I would never ruin good cheerios like that. I use my words to hurt, not physical actions.
