UO thursday

reinedecajun · August 2013

My UO is more of a vent than anything. I live in a college town and today is game day. First game day we usually tailgate if its on a weekend so well miss this one. My issue the news just now said while the stadium holds 10,000 plus...that gamecock parking holds 800! Well no fucking wonder downtown is a cluster Fuck every game. That makes zero sense to me. Andplusalso they are enforcing no smoking for tailgaters. How on earth is that going to work? They are outside for one its 10,000 plus people for second.Good luck enforcing that one city of Columbia.

Oh I have another, which is also more of a vent. People that suddenly come out of the woodworks wanting to gtg before we move. Seriously, we've been here 6 years and now you want to hang out because "you want to gtg before we leave". Wtf?

I hate the smell of vanilla candles, room sprays, air freshers, etc.

I dislike cinnamon. The taste, the smell. Hate it. Those cinnamon brooms that come out around Halloween smell awful to me.

I live in a college town too....but it's a art college so right now my town is full of hipsters and kids trying to be unique but looks like everyone else

I have a few today: 1) I can't stand the weekly pregnancy photos with the whole set up of the woman holding the appropriate sized fruit, a chalkboard withstats. Seriously this girl on FB posts these: this week she was holding a bucket of Ears of corn and had a tub of popcorn sitting next to her chalkboard. No one cares about your bump as much as you do. A weekly photo is fine but I'm not hiking to the grocery store for every photo op. 2) I am not particularly fond of the pebbles look on little girls. I just don't find it cute at all when they have a pony sticking straight off their head. Now @bubbajug Eleanor's side pony was adorable! I have another that I can't remember now!

Thanks @lizwindersonRN !!

I also don't care for the pebbles look, therefore I am grateful that we have the side pony option.

My H plays on a 2 hand touch football league every fall. I think it's the dumbest thing ever. He has to drive an hour to go and he thinks he needs to have practice with his team mates before their season starts. They also ordered jerseys. I think it's all over the top ridiculous. There aren't even refs for their games.

I love fall, football and everything connected to it! Bring it on!!!!

Here's mine. Don't refurse to discipline your chlid and then bitch and blame other things because your kids is a hooligan. This is really directed at my cousin and his wife. Both their kids are hellions but their son, who is 3, is the worst. They don't believe in any kid of negative discipline. No timeouts or anything like that. They believe in discussing things. You cannot discuss things in depth with a 3 year old. You certainly can't with a temper tantrum 3 year old. I wouldn't even care but they get on FB and whine about how they can't control him. Blah. Blah. Blah.

I hope this isn't an UO! If it is, I don't want to be right.

I absolutely hate those memes that have the badly drawn creepy guys in it. My 16 year old nephew absolutely loves them and posts them all the time and I don't know what he sees in them. Except what he sees is from the perspective of a 16 year old emo wannabee, so who knows.

A customer just called, and her name was Randi. My coworker who took the call thought it was the cutest thing ever, and confessed that she loves boy names for girls. And if she has a girl, she wants to name her Ryan (after her brother who died).

I get the significance of the name, but I don't like it for a girl.

I love boys names for girls also! If Frankie would have been a girl her name still would have been Frankie lol.

I love fall. Best time of year. Except.....I could care less about football. My DH has been driving me nuts with his fantasy football stuff and everyone calling him or texting him about the ones they are in. Drives me nuts!

My point: I don't like football. I normally go shopping on Sundays because that is all that is on in our house.

I'm with you! I don't like it either and thankfully my H has zero interest in all sports. His dad and brothers absolutely love football and other sports though so if we go over there the TV is always on with some game on it. I'm so glad my H isn't like them!

I don't understand certain parenting styles. At the park yesterday I heard a mom offer her 2 ish yr old the items she packed for lunch. The child refused everything. Then mom said " we'll maybe your friend will share her lunch". I'm sorry, but I missed the part where this was potluck. This is your lunch, eat it or be hungry, dinner is at 6.

That kind of thing is so silly. Similar thing for me that I do not understand.... giving someone with completely immature reasoning skills open-ended choices that really shouldn't be choices. It's so flipping stupid. "Little Johnny, do you want to put on sunscreen now?" "No." "Well you need to put it on...." WTF did you think little Johnny was going to say. How was that a question? Ugh.

The preschool I used to work at would encourage only open ended conversations with the kids. You ever try to have a open ended conversation with 8 two year olds? Thanks NAEYC
