Re: ~~~UO Thursday*~~~

  • Drivers who cut in line on the way to work are bad people. You're on your way to work. Chillax. Work isn't going anywhere. 

    My friends have selected mediocre baby names.

    I don't ever want a dog. Why would I want a slobbering, shedding animal that jumps on all my friends who come over (gets their clothes dirty and smelly), begs at the table, and whose poop I have to pick up with my hand? No thank you.

  • I HATE blue cheese. HATE IT. I know all cheese is technically mold but the fact that it is literally blue and green sickens me. I also dislike people who say, "O you just haven't had it right" or "Try it in my buffalo chicken dip." No no no! I don't like the way it looks and it smells like feet. Keep it away from my pregnant self before I vom on your shoes.

    That is all.

  • Mmmmm, I love Blue Cheese! Any sharp, or pungent cheese really...

    I'm kinda disappointed in Nov '12 board. I'm not sure if I'm comparing it to my other home board or what, it just seems so... Slow. And nothing but small chit chat that keeps it going. Maybe it's because alot of women (I'm assuming here) are on the FB page?

    I refuse to join the Nov '12 FB group. I like to keep the bump on the bump... I have enough going on on FB. Anyways- I hope Nov picks up. I had high hopes

  • Yeah, I'm hoping this board picks up too.  My home city board is pretty slow too, so I need some action somewhere!!  I may join the Nov '12 FB group, but I know I will never be on it... because I only come on TB at work (for the most part) and FB is blocked at work... and I rarely go on FB when I'm at home... maybe once a week.  Agree with PP, let's keep the bump on the bump people...

     

    I really don't like sharing my UO's because I don't like being confrontational, but the one I will share is (which I guess isn't that unpopular at all but...) rude people drive me nuts.  People who take up 2 seats on the bus, sitting in one, their bag in another when the bus is full.  Or putting your feet up on another seat... seriously?  Or saying at a restaurant, "I need ______."  No, you do not neeeed those fries.  I would like ________ please, or May I have _________, please?  How difficult was that?  Feels good to get that off my chest. :)

    Anniversary DS was born 11/30/12... so in love :)

    I have been lurking and feeling the same way. I come from the Oct '11 board and things get pretty spicy over there. You always have me girl Wink

  • I hate the line "Men shouldn't tell me what to do with my uterus!" I know the pro-life vs pro-choice debate is a tough one, but don't trivialize the pro-life stand point as simply being about men wanting to boss around your uterus.

    My EDD is Nov 2nd, and DD came 2 weeks early, so I lurk a TON. I do like the feel of the board better. I introduced myself in the beggining to the Oct '12 ladies, but I haven't posted often so I'm sure I just look like a rando when I do post. I need to post there more often... Thanks Hannahsmom21 :P!!

    I feel the same way. My other BMB is a pretty tight group of awesome ladies. I'm hoping this board picks up and becomes a little more personal I guess. There is only a handful of posters that I recognize that post daily here. It just seems like a bunch of new people everyday. Which is fine but I just like getting to know people I guess.

    Exactly, I like to have a feel for people, and know who the frequent posters are.... My other BMB is starting to slow down a bit, and it makes me sad :(

    Me too except I did join the FB group.  Coming from TTGP, which was very lively, I'm highly disappointed in the Nov '12 bump group and if my EDD was any earlier I'd jump ship for October '12 instead.  I don't see the appeal of the FB group over the Bump. Yes the bump goes down sometimes, so what?

  • Oh I got a few more...

    I put DDs carrier on the top part of the cart, and will do so again with this LO.

    I roll my eyes at posts about not gaining weight during first tri.   ....really?

    I also hate repetitive posts. We do not need 5 posts about the same issue/same question just because you wanted your own post. Scroll down the page. Or check first tri. This makes me stabby

    Why is it bad to put the carrier on top of the cart? Aren't there little slots for it to sit there perfectly? I don't have kids yet.

    I roll my eyes at those posts too. I'm pretty skinny but I'm gaining weight already. We're supposed to, after all.

    I guess it's a big no-no and considered unsafe because the cart could tip over. O_0

    alot of judge-y mc-judgeson mommas and researchering mommas will come out of the woodworks and will preach about it later on in our pregnancies I'm sure. I never understood it and agree with you- it CLIPS IN! It's made for it IMO. I'm always right there as well, it's not like I'm putting her up there and walking away.

    I always clipped the carseat in the top on carts and will do it again with this LO. I think it's weird having LO down in the basket, they feel so far away.

    Yes to all.

    TTCAL and PgAL are so active and my July10 board was active and May12 was really fun when it was crazy active- it has since died down to almost nothing due to the FB group.

    Makes me sad to see.

  • I admit- I am somewhat of a name snob. Mostly the correct spelling of names.

    I judge my Sis and BIL- they named their daughter AmeLLia- 2 Ls. I have found out that my sis was against the 2Ls but BIL thought the double L pretty. So, I feel better about my sis Stick out tongue

  • Agree with you ladies, I sooo hate seeing how little activity there is here. I am on the FB group as well but have really been missing this board and have been coming back and trying to participate. I think the layout of FB is so much easier to use, everything is much faster. You don't have to open a thread to see what it's about... there is so much more activity on there. But at the same time, I love the boards and miss them. I was on TTGP for a couple of months and there was always a ton of activity. I totally get that not everybody wants to join the FB group, and I feel so bummed that because so many people did, this place kind of got deserted. That, along with the fact that I just miss it, I want to keep participating to keep the activity up.

    I realize that it's not really an unpopular opinion now, but there it is. I'll try to think of a better UO Smile

  • I don't understand why women will schedule a c-section when there is no medical urgency. When they just want to do it because they're "done". The same with being induced. If there's no medical issues and no medical necessity, I just don't get it. Why can't you just let nature take its course??

    Is that UO? Tongue Tied This is my first go at it.

  • I tend to get really annoyed by people who don't like dogs.

    I hate people that tell me"you won't treat your dogs the same once baby gets here." Uh, yes I will. They are my babies as well and always will be.

  • This is not an UO but when my son was about 3 months old I had him in the carrier on the cart and we were walking across the cross walk and hit a nasty bump in the pavement and it flipped out.  I had my hand on his seat and I caught him with my left hand but only enough to break the fall, he still hit the ground (or the carseat did anyways), he was fine, I was NOT! Worst experience of my life. I'm not trying to persuade anyone not to do it, I probably would have still done it knowing it *could* happen, I would have thought "oh that won't happen to me!".

    I love dogs! And after dd came, I thought I'd be the same around my dog and I wasn't. It was weird. But maybe because he lives with my mom. I had to leave him with her when I moved out, but he was the family dog anyway.

    Doggiemom- that's good to hear :) I will admit, my dog was by baby before DD came... And Our relationship changed. I find myself less patient with him, and we are now putting up a fence so I can just let him out. I'm not proud of it, but I defienetly don't give him the attention that I did before baby. I used to bring him to doggie day care when I worked, and did lots of one on one training with him... Even considered training him for therapy. Like I said, I'm not proud of it... But it happened.

  • Speaking of Facebook, I cannot stand it when family posts family drama all over Facebook for everyone to see. My mom's side does it ALL.THE.TIME. I stay out of it because I don't think it's appropriate. There are some matters in family that are meant to be private. I hate that they don't understand that >:P

    I hate when people post vague dramatic things on FB. Two examples:

    Maryann: Wow, this sucks :(:(:(  wut am i gunna do?

    And then people ask what is wrong and Maryann says, "i don't wanna talk about it" or, "text meeeee"

    or

    Maryann: Wow, I cannot believe you would be so selfish. How can you live with yourself? You really hurt me.

    And then, again, no details. WHY put it on FB, then?!

    Me too!  I got spoiled by TTCAL and now PgAL.  Those boards move so fast.  I try to post here at least once a day, but it's hard when there's not much going on.  We need to make an attempt at spicing up this board a bit.

    My UO:  I HATE when parents carry a child over the age of three everywhere.  ( Not counting kids that are sick or hurt or just need a quick snuggle.)  I'm pretty much basing this on my stint at a daycare.  We'd have parents carry their 5 year olds out of the building EVERYDAY just because they didn't want to walk.  I wanted to tell the child:   "I'm sorry....you weight about as half as your mom, she does not need to carry you."
