Re: UO!
I like loud flashy kids toys. I will trade listening to the same song a milllion times for the ability to go pee by myself any day of the week.
ETA: they are a good warning system. If the toy stops making the noise it's time to go investigate what the kids are doing.
I have not enjoyed Christmas since I was little.
If you don't have the time, find someone who can do it for you. It's not rocket science. A tired, happy dog has less energy to spend on mischief.
Even better, take them some place where they can run off leash or go for a swim.
Twice a day, every day.
I hate the New Year's Resolutioners at the gym. I am dreading them coming in and taking up all the machines and all of the room in the fitness classes from January - March.
It's great if people can actually make a change and become committed to exercising regularly, but the reality is that most of them give up by March.
I haven't been part of uo lately so I'm sorry if this has been discussed, also it's bound to offend. But why make your child take a picture with Santa if they are upset? I personally don't find it cute or funny.
Winter makes it difficult for us to walk our lab, so DH will throw a ball around to get her running at the least. We will also take her to our local doggy daycare for playtime.
Missy, walking downtown Seattle the other day I totally smelt it in the air. It's so funny that now it's legal. I'm personally past that stage in my life right now, however I wouldn't rule it out if we were on vaca or something. I just can't see myself doing it right now.
Spicy, I agree with you about the backpacks. Usually the backpacks are stored in the closet, or in a cubby, especially in the younger grades. Who would have the time to run and grab them? IDK.
I can't see it. Clicky?
I've been seeing this all over facebook.
I watched the movie Ted last night and all I wanted to do was get high, in fact that movie would have been better if I were High! Legally I can smoke pot where I live, just not buy or sell it....
Puff puff pass, lady! Seriously, though Ted would have been so much better stoned.
Hopefully I'm clicky-ing the right video:

I can't watch it b/c I'm at work.
I like them too. J likes playing with them and anything that keeps his attention long enough for me to pee or do something without him "helping" is magical in my book!
I like my theist friends here on TB, because they're not douches like some. I also realize not all my theist friends think like the video, but don't be surprised if I voice my opinion when you post god in school blah blah Mike Huckabee crap. I found out our school is still saying 'under god' during the pledge of allegiance every morning. I know it's no offense, but it drives me a little batty. We are not one nation under god in our home, but I would be largely accosted if I were to mention it to the school.
I am tired of people preaching about religion not allowed in schools. It is allowed in certain circumstances. Older kids lean about all religions in school the teacher is not allowed to show favoritism our dislike towards one religion, students are asked to talk about religion to each other, and after school religious groups are allowed.
Prayer is not allowed at large functions such as graduations and games in a manner of 1 speaker talking to the whole crowd. Teachers are not allowed to engage in religious conversations unless the teacher is teaching about the religion. Religion must not be put on a pedestal for the sake of the right to religious freedom of people who do not follow that religion.
So prayer is allowed in school under certain circumstances. The right of prayer has not been taken away completely.
ETA Religion cannot be put on a pedestal by people of influence such as teachers, principles, valedictorians, coaches, ect.
My UO: I still keep a checkbook register of all expenses. It helps me stay on track, and I always know exactly how much money I have. My DH never did this when he banked alone before we were engaged, and he was constantly overdrawing his account because he'd forget about bills that had been paid, but hadn't come out of the account yet. He hasn't been overdrawn since I took over the money situation in 2006. My friends and coworkers judge me for being so 'old school', but they're the same ones constantly biitching about having no money and being overdrawn on their accounts because they forgot about something that hadn't come out yet and just went with the amount their online banking said they had. I may be old school, but at least I didn't pay 35 dollars for a burger at lunch because I overdrew my account.
Love that!
What drives me crazy is that people keep coming out with the same quote about asking G-D why he let ___ tragedy happen and his response about being told to get out after every.single.tragedy. as if it was just said. The way I see it is that this is the same as that abortion slant that we were discussing the other day: it isn't the relevant issue and people are misusing a tragedy to push their own agenda. Let's talk about gun control, let's talk about helping the mentally ill and let's talk about school security. THOSE are the issues related to the Newtown shooting.
Did anyone else see this ridiculous article that blames the lack of male aggression in a "feminized environment" for the fact that so many were killed? Ugh

I love wrapping presents too! I wrap as I go though because I don't love it enough to do it for 3 hours.
I let my kid sit on Santa's lap and took a picture even though she was crying.
I think people who are using the CT tragedy to push their own agendas should be ashamed of themselves. It is so disrespectful to those who were actually impacted.
I don't like pillowcase dresses either. I also judge myself for paying $40 for DD's first tutu when I know I now can make one in a about 15 minutes for about $5. You know what I judge the people who sell them for that much too.
I hate wrapping presents and have a ton yet to do. You're more than welcome to help if you want. You just have to get through a blizzard here.
Agree x a million. Whenever people are like, oh your dogs are so well behaved, I'm just thinking yea, we set limits and we walk them - it's not rocket science!
I would love too! It just stopped snowing here but the wind is still howling. The windows are rattling. I'm sure it will start back up again shortly. It was pouring down rain all night and then started snowing. I have no idea how cold it is but I'm pretty sure it's going to be slick under that snow!
Yeah but they are cute usually and not having to make them is worth the money, they are a pita!
This may cause an outrage, but I don't even know what a pillowcase dress is.
Glad I am not the only one.
I'm for people stepping up and doing the right thing for their pets. If they're not willing to do that, I can't get too mad about rehoming. As long as they can find something stable, it's probably better for the pet.
They are cute! I don't think they're too hard to make though. You know that annoying V-tech walker mentioned in the toys post.
I used it to do this
then this
and end up with this
Except minus the cute kid
Lol! We have that walker. I have tried making tutus but halfway through I get frustrated and give up. Plus I can never find anything other than white tulle in the precut rolls and I don't want to have cut a million strips. There's a local lady here who sells them on facebook and I just wait until she has ready made sales and buy them for cheap.
That's a good idea
I used the rolls and cut them myself but I did it like this.
Wrapped the roll around a piece of cardboard used two rubber bands and then cut it on both sides.
Not that you asked for a tutu tutorial or anything :P
LOL I take it back. That's adorable. Especially with the jeans and boots. Where did you get the shoes?!
I agree with the bellbottom pants though. One of the names I loved was Matilda Jane. Matilda is SO's great grandma and Jane is my MIL. But I cannot get over the Matilda Jane clothing company. They look like clown clothes. And I have a friend who dresses her ten year old in them and then takes tons of pictures and puts them in a "Matilda Jane Fashion Show" album on her FB.
They are Romeos!
Awww she's a doll! I think it's sweet your mom made it for her. Even if I'm not a fan of pillow case dresses I can be a fan of Gator!
