U/O!!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: U/O!!
Oh man, I am loving this UO thread.
I love - I mean, LOVE both Honeycrisp apples and NPR. Oh Tamb, it boggles my mind that these two things are on your "blah" list :-)
I also love coffee. Actual coffee. I would rather drink piss than go anywhere near mcd's "coffee" - I've been to gas stations that do it better.
I can't do beer, although I keep trying to like it. Jane Eyre and CITR are faves. I've never, ever set foot in a Walmart (won't on principle), but spend more time in Target than I'd like to admit (there's one really close to my house...) I agree with the long unkempt hair UO, even though I'm most definitely rocking exactly that right now. I'm loving living in a state where hats from October-April are completely acceptable this year.
My UO is related to the walking post: I've never, ever used the elevators in malls, dept stores, etc. Now that I'm pushing a stroller (DD hates the ergo unless we're walking outside), it annoys me to no end to have to wait in line behind perfectly able-bodied people who are too lazy to take the stairs or even the fricking escalator. Seriously, WHY take an elevator up one floor if you're in perfectly good health? (carrying heavy packages, wrangling strollers/toddlers are obvious exceptions). I find this appalling on so many levels.
How do I not know this book? If you like it, it must be fabulous. **Runs off to Amazon**
Also: a book I read that just blew my mind is Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony. She's a Native American author, and the book is about a Laguna man who comes home from WWII with PTSD to the reservation, and tries to find healing for himself and his people. It's about the powers of destruction and the healing power of connection, and it interweaves a lot of native storytelling, and I LOVED IT.

What it's like to cloth diaper twins, Part I.
Cloth diapering twins, Part II.
I wish I loved coffee and beer. I like one type of beer, tap from Germany, and well that is kind of hard to get in the US...
I wish I lived somewhere with awesome public transportation, I hate driving and think it is the biggest waste of money and resources. It is also way more dangerous than public transportation.
I love Walmart, not because I go there, but because it means the people who do shop there don't shop where I want to shop. Walmart raises my blood pressure with all the kids running around and crazy looking/acting people, I like that they stay there and I can enjoy Target and other stores.
ok...get ready for this I USED to hate....babies! Yes I was the snarky b*tch at starbucks who was all like..."who the f*ck bring's a baby to starbucks?" or Olive Garden...or pf changs....I was just bothered by the sight of children...mostly because I hadn't been around any. I was all ew they cry and poop they're so lame and not for me.
NOW IM OBSESSED with my baby and most of yours lol!
I do love some honeycrisp apples and NPR too. And naturally, I agree with you (as always, it's no longer a shock) about mcd's coffee. I find it to be swill, unless they add 900 calories of sugar, whipped cream, chocolate, and caramel, and by then it defeats the purpose. I miss you, lover. Haven't seen you around much

I would have disagreed with you...however I went and tried the never ending pasta bowl recently...and it says you can get sausage or *ROASTED CHICKEN* I got the roasted chicken...she brought it to me and I thought it was tuna because of the smell...there was dark meat/white meat and I realized this is canned chicken. Which you can buy for like 10 cents...but they are charging 2 bucks for it here... what was the sausage? vienna sausages? I returned it and had an Italian Margarita and no lunch...I was pretty drunk after that....
BTW it was just spilled into the pasta so did not look roasted...from can to plate probably didn't even rinse it!
Oh wow, that sounds incredible. Maybe when I go to the bookstore this weekend, I will pick it up. Thanks for the recommendation!
I love Rodeos. And Chuckwagon races. Yep. I sure do. I LIVE for them in the spring/ summer/fall. I grew up with a lot of people who complete in rodeos and chuckwagons. It is a lifestyle I suppose.
Im looking for the CFR and we are contemplating going to the NFR in Vegas this year.
My UO which is more of a FFFC.
Who or what the french is Jane Eyre? Erye? Is she an author, or is it a book called Jane Eyre? I am clearly not a huge reader. I love reading, but I read what books my MIL passes down to me. No clue as to who the author is most of the time.
It's a book by Charlotte Bronte. A lot of people read it in English class.

Aahhh, haha, gotcha. Now I want to read it since it seems everyone else on earth has! I hate being behind..
I miss you too! My stupid job is inhibiting our romance. I'll still be popping in and out for some quickies during the week though!
::humps creamsicle furiously and then goes back to work::
I had no clue what everyone was talking about either.
Me either..
I don't like beer, coffee or wine except the fake wines (wine coolers and arbor mist).
I haven't seen any real housewives or jersey shore and I don't feel like I am missing out on anything.
This. No offense to anyone, but I am on everyday. If I don't recognize your SN or Siggy and you magically appear out of no where to announce your pregnancy, then to be honest I kinda don't care. That may seem really mean but we all "know" eachother now and I would only care if any of you had big news.
I don't mind it, but i hattte going to the grocery store hungry. I usually go right after work or i have to pick something up on my way home, and i am always starving, and i want to grab everything.
Yeah, I feel like a more appropriate place is your new BMB.
My rule is that I can't be hungry! If I am, I easily blow a couple hundred dollars. Not okay.
Hahaha this. We recently moved to a small town where it is about 3-4 miles long. Everyone drives everywhere. People drive to the bakery when they are literally one minute walk from it. I feel like the weirdo who walks everywhere. I grew up in a city where everyone walked even if it would take 45 minutes to get somewhere.
My UO: I think girls lack self worth. I have girls who tell about guys they are into. The guys are always losers. By losers I mean, they cuss them out, or they are choosing between them and another girl. Or they have treated the girl badly before, but she is convinced that this time it will be different. These girls will put their dreams and education on hold for these guys. And it has been 90% of the girls I talk to. They don't seem to realize that they deserve a man that will respect. They don't want to wait, so they settle. It's so hard to watch, and you can only offer so much advice. This is more of a vent than an UO I guess haha.
I agree. But I hate Macaroni Grill even more. I am picky about Italian food (my mom makes good dishes she learned from my great grandma who moved to NY as an adult) so I rarely eat Italian food out.
I do like Olive Gardens salad and bread sticks with a side of alfredo sauce for dipping.
I've never read any of the girly books mentioned in this post. I'm not a fan of that era.
I do, however, love The Catcher in the Rye. So much so that my first born's name is Holden Jane.
I've never taken any public transportation, but I think I would like it.

Come on over anytime. I'll give you a list.
A friend of mine likes to disagree with me about catholic vs. public schools. She feels hers is all high and mighty, and it's all "education, education, education". Mmkay. She took her kids on vacation and they missed the first week of school. Ok cool. Disney is empty. But um, the first days of school are important, not only academically but socially! That's when kids find their friends, find lunch table buddies, etc.
I don't usually participate in the UO... but mine would be... I totally stereotype people who drive minivans. I have 3 kids and people ask when i'm getting a minivan. I say, "NEVER". I'm sure they're convenient, but I grew up driving fast cars and a motorcycle. My mom's everyday driver is a new corvette. The last thing I would ever drive is a minivan. I got one as a rental, and even though the options were nice and my boys got a kick out of the sliding doors, I wanted to put a bag over my head while I drove so people didn't see me. I'll take my gas-guzzling 7 passenger SUV anyday.

Yeah you have to read it! I feel kind of sad that you haven't. I guess this is an early FFFC, but I feel sorry for people who haven't read some of the great classics. They aren't for everyone, but surely you can find something you like. My mom and siblings don't read and I feel sorry for their lyfe
I liked salt during my pregnancy with Hazel, but I've never been a salt fan. If I was a pickier person I'd order my fries salt free.
Next time you're at Target, pick this up and try it. Let me know if you change your mind:)
Macaroni Grill is also atrocious.
My grandmother came over from Italy, so I'm with you on growing up with good Italian food.

I will go with you! I love it, too. I find it really relaxing. And it drives me crazy when DH wants to come with me "to make it easier" for me. Uh, no.

It's not canned but it definitely isn't fresh roasted chicken. It comes in from whoever they purchase it from in baggies that they reheat. I had a customer ask me one time if it was canned. It's just not good. I was told when I was working there that 93% of their food is prepared fresh. I call bullsh!t. I will still eat there though. Their stuffed chicken marsala is good.
The only thing I love about Macaroni Grill is the bread.
The Catcher in the Rye is one of my all time favorite books. I love that name!
I LOVE salted caramel and if you love it too you must find this ice cream. This is the best ice cream I have ever tasted.
