    My UO is I think you posted an introduction for attention.  You have already been posting around here for a few weeks, had some pretty hot topics (that cause me to side eye you), and your name is recognizable (possibly being on a post it note or two).

    Beeraritas are good. Bud light makes one that's premixed in a little can.

    I like it mixed with Sprite or other beers.  Oooo mixed with cider is good.  Black Velvets FTW!

    Gross!!  You people are ruining beer!  I love a good microbrew, and we've got a bunch out here :)

    Me and DH live in freaking Milwaukee WI and yet he HATES beer. I will have one every now and then but prefer wine WAY over beer. Perhaps I will make him one of these mixed beers. He might like them then. He claims he "really wants to like beer".

    My UO is when I go to the chart gallery in FF and come across charts with like 50 rows of symptoms listed underneath the chart, making a veritable rainbow of little coloured squares that just goes on and on and on.  All I can think is who has time to sit and analyze every single thing you feel all the time every single day?  I can understand the obvious ones, cramps during period, sore boobs and pains around ovulation time, maybe noting a bad sleep night...but 50 different symptoms?  If you can't see all of your chart and symptoms on one computer screen, you've over-analyzed!

    Ugh, NONE of the men above do anything at all for me. Everyone makes fun of me, because I don't tend to like how most of the celebrities out there look. And even when I do, I typically only like them in character...like Seth Meyers in SNL & Ben Whishaw in Perfume & 007.

    My itty-bitty UO is that I hate the word andplusalso. I feel like it makes the poster look stupid.

    My UO:  I don't think monogamy is necessarily inherent for a good relationship.

    I don't necessarily think this is unpopular... I think many would agree IF both parties are consenting. Personally I would be livid if DH was to be with anyone else and he won't be getting my permission to do so... so it would be considered cheating. If however, I had a change of heart and consented, I don't see how that's anyone's business but ours as long as our child doesn't get mixed up in it.

    I have a family friend where both parents had significant others and lived under the same roof with them..... their kids were old enough to understand what was going on. IMHO very weird and detrimental to the kids. Why be married if that's how you choose to live?

    Psshh...when were UOs on TTGP exciting? I lurk on other boards to read UOs. Those are way more fun.

    True, it's never been super exciting over here but, lately, we can't even get to page 3 with spats or disagreements. I'm tired of everyone getting along, dammit! (I should probably be careful what I wish for...)

    This is definitely not unpopular. Except maybe for those idiots who like to create new screen names just to try to stir up drama. 

    Shocking I know but I don't mind the people who create a SN just to say something they wouldn't otherwise say under their real SN. A lot of these people take these boards very seriously and value the relationships they have made and we all know one good flaming can ruin your reputation no matter how good it was before, but sometimes you just have something to say. I think it is a little bit cowardly to do so, because at the end of the day it is just a message board, but if they need to get it off their chest and then move forward posting under their real SN then whatever. Sometimes it can also lead to a good discussion and you can see what other people have to say about a topic that otherwise would not be brought up. As for the people who do it for fun, to create drama or as a truth or dare challenge from another board or whatever the reason at least it keeps things entertaining, this place can become pretty stagnate at times. No one is required to read the post or reply so NBD in my opinion. And I will add another one so I don't get accused of having unoriginal thoughts. I don't care for the term Rainbow baby being used for the baby you take home. I think it is just that in my mind when talking about a baby being here on earth versus heaven (if that is what you believe in) I equate rainbows with heaven if that makes sense? If I suffered from any losses (which I am very greatful for not having so) I would just prefer take home baby, but I respect anyone who uses the term and understand wanting to give it special meaning, it just is not for me.

    If it worked for them, what's the big deal? Who are you to determine if a different family dynamic is detrimental to someone's kids?

    A good friend of mine has both a husband and a wife, and the three of them live happily together. Two of them had "kids" together (who are now grown up, one with kids of his own). It works for them because they love each other and their family makes them happy and fulfilled. Not all families fit into the same mold, nor should they.

    I'm not sure if mine is actually a UO.  I don't understand why people buy apartments and town homes (or like dwellings).  Why would you pay to own a property and still have to share walls with someone?  Apartments don't even have a yard (unless you live on the first floor).  I just don't get it.

    Of course I understand that in big cities and places like that it is common and is understandable in those situations.  Other than that though I personally wouldn't waste my money.  I hate sharing walls with people and I love a huge yard. 

    There are 3 reasons I can think of:

    1. It is all they can afford. Townhouses, condos and apartments are usually cheaper than houses.

    2. They are using it as an investment and hoping not to stay there too long.

    3. Old people or people who work really long hours don't want the additional hassle of taking care of a house.

    I see where you are coming from, though. I think most people would rather be in a house but unfortunately not everyone can afford one and somepeople aren't physically capable of doing the upkeep a house requires.

    Luck be a: Please use paragraphs. It is annoying to read a giant as$ wall of text.  Plus, not that I really took you seriously before but I can't take what you say, seriously; when you can't even be bothered to take the time to use breaks.

    Not that this is really flame worthy for this particular post but I just need to get this off of my chest. What is it with you constantly taking the other side ( or technically the UO) Is that your goal in life; to constantly go against the grain? Is this a "devils advocate" thing? Do you just like to shittt stir and constantly make yourself the fool because you constantly white knight for people and it's ridiculous.

    Depending on what the general consensus of the board is, I can normally guess without a doubt what your opinion on the matter would be.

    Lately I assume that people posting one giant wall of text are bumping mobile. Sometimes the mobile site takes out the line breaks. Of course it's possible she never put them there in the first place, but I tend to give the benefit of the doubt.

    Tongue Tied

    I think without knowing everyone's situation, this is an unfair statement. We own a townhouse instead of home right now for a few reasons. We bought it 3 1/2 yrs ago and all the houses in our area in our price range were so tiny, especially the bedrooms. Now that we can afford something bigger, it isn't realistic to move right now. I am still getting my Ph.D. so we have no idea where we are going to live after I'm done, or even if we are going to be living in the same state.

    Instead of renting, we decided to make an investment. Would I love to be living in a house right now instead? Sure, but we didn't have the money for it. Super judgmental.

     

    Yes

    My UO:  I don't think monogamy is necessarily inherent for a good relationship.

    I have a family friend where both parents had significant others and lived under the same roof with them..... their kids were old enough to understand what was going on. IMHO very weird and detrimental to the kids. Why be married if that's how you choose to live?

    If it worked for them, what's the big deal? Who are you to determine if a different family dynamic is detrimental to someone's kids?

    Except it DIDN'T work for their kids.... honestly if I am a teen (which two out of the three were) and I knew my mom was having sex with her boyfriend while my dad was downstairs with his girlfriend, I would be wanting out of there ASAP. It is just not appropriate to have that kind of stuff going on in your house with your children there (I would hope this isn't a UO.. but oh well if it is it's Thursday).  They try not to bring it up now... but I defintiely think it was detrimental to them as kids. They all tried to move out as soon as was legally possible.

    I'm not sure if mine is actually a UO.  I don't understand why people buy apartments and town homes (or like dwellings).  Why would you pay to own a property and still have to share walls with someone?  Apartments don't even have a yard (unless you live on the first floor).  I just don't get it.

    Of course I understand that in big cities and places like that it is common and is understandable in those situations.  Other than that though I personally wouldn't waste my money.  I hate sharing walls with people and I love a huge yard. 

    I'll agree that with the exception of cities, I wouldn't buy a condo.

    We own our townhome and are very happy here. We got a great price on it since it was a foreclosure (around 1/2 the price of the average home here) and it is in an area with great school districts. As PPs mentioned, price is a big one. We live in a very expensive area and likely wouldn't buy a single family home in this county. As far as sharing the wall is concerned, we only hear our neighbors when their kids happen to be stampeding down the stairs. We have never heard anyone yelling, etc.

    We will likely use this as a transition home once the market goes back up (lol assuming it does). We can make a good profit off this house and then use that for a downpayment on our next home. It is honestly nice having all of our trash, etc taken care of by our HOA. At the moment for us, it's also nice not to have lots of upkeep outside. We may decide to move to a single family... but we love our neighborhood so much that depending on how big of a family we have, we may stay.
