Re: Unpopular opinion Thursday.

  • I hate that women come here to ask us if they're KTFU.

  • I don't know how unpopular this is, and I don't know that it should be posted here as I find it to be more fact than opinion, but Kevin Bacon is seriously one of the least attractive humans just ever.

    Agreed.

    I'll play off this UO and say I think it's weird to hang out on a BMB you're not apart of. Like before we all started getting our BFP, there were people posting "I hope this is my month!" posts. There is a TTGP board. Go post there instead of clogging up the month boards.

  • I'm sitting in my office with my pants unbuttoned and partially unzipped. They were just too uncomfortable with all of this bloat. Thank goodness my top is long.

    I second the comments Re: the Am I KU? posts and Kevin Bacon Wink

    I was on TTGP and believe me, there was WAY too much BS over there.  Plus a lot of those month board pre-posts were from us anyway.  I don't really care about people posting on month boards before they really get started, but it does bug me when the board is starting to get established (like ours) and people drop in the "OMG am I preggerz?!?!?"  But that annoys me on any board.

    I'm definitely guilty of posting one time in the September 2013 board, though it wasn't a "ermahgerd I hope this is my month" centric post (I did mention this but it wasn't the focus)... I was mostly living vicariously through the ladies there, wondering if anyone was going to announce their pregnancies on April Fools day like I wished I could.

    Even though it's highly unlikely I am that far along, if I go by my m/c date as my LMP, I would be due Sept 20 and 15ish weeks for April Fools day.

    Looking back I think it's completely ridiculous I posted there. HAHA

     I was going to say that  is a pretty brutal and intimidating place.

    I LOOOOOOOOOOVE my April '11 FB group!!! Its really nice to know everyone by their real names!! I know it kills the TB boards, but I, personally, love it. 


  • My UO is that people should have to pass a test to use the self check outs at the supermarket. It should also be a requirement that you be able to read English - it only makes sense to me that if you are not strong in your English proficiency and that is the language the machine operates in, you will probably have trouble using the machine and will ask for help anyway - why not just have a cashier ring your items through for you like normal?

    And lady with your large purse/small child sitting on the weigh scale attached to my machine, adjacent to your own? MIND YOUR SPACE. You're slowing down the process for me by not letting it weigh my groceries.

     The Jan 11 board was totally killed by the Facebook group. It's so sad. But then again, I don't post many pics on here so I like becoming FB friends with specific people from the board.

     

     Also - Dora the Explorer is the second most annoying show. The first is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

    haha   yeah!  We're all on FB on May boards and can keep up with each other a lot better that way :)

    We made a june 11 one in the beginning. All of these non bumpies got in. It was horrible. After we had our babies though we made a new one, much better! Also, I have heard that some of the summer 13 fb groups are awful. Mods on a power trip and such.

    My wedding month board made a FB group, and we have all become very close. There have even been a few GTG's Smile

  • I'm not a big fan of all of the short hand and abbreviations on here. Don't get me wrong it makes life easier, but I feel like I need a bump dictionary by my side to read or post!

  • I hate how mean these boards can get.  On my last BMB I was afraid to post anything in fear I would do or say something wrong and people who go off on me.  Or if you didn't post often enough, they would tell you that you didn't belong and were intruding.  WHAT?!  lol  I get that it is the internet, so you can get by with being more rude than you would in real life, but does that mean we SHOULD be rude? 

    Then again it does prove for some pretty interesting posts...

    Yes, this. The July board has had major drama partly due to starting a FB group way too soon (and partly because of crazies).
