I think chocolate is gross. Other than in brownies. I hear that is pretty unpopular.

Me too!! And I also weirdly like brownies. But most chocolate literally makes me gag, I can't stand the smell.

I've never been to Disney either. We always went on big vacations every year, idk why we never went.

However I've been blessed to see cool places like Alaska and South Dakota and...Missouri....

1) I really don't like Ben Stiller. I mean... I just... other than Dodgeball and parts of Zoolander I just find him unwatchable. I've never seen There's Something About Mary because every time I try I can't make it through...

2) I started wearing bras at 11 too... Mom was SUPER AWKWARD about it... I get my bras at a local store that measures you and actually carries all of the large sizes, plus they will tailor bras for free if you need a minor adjustment.

3) I've been to Disney LAND, but not Disney WORLD... it kind of blows my mind how many people I know who got engaged or married there, or go there every year without kids. I just always imagined it as a place for kids, so clearly I'm just missing out on something...

I've been to both, and I can see why as a DL vet you don't "get it" re: childless adults going to WDW. The World is truly a destination onto itself. With four theme parks (including Epcot and the delightful challenge of drinking around the world) there truly is something for everyone.

And outside of the parks, you've got a vacation within the vacation. 20 resorts with themes as different as possible, some AMAZING restaurants, fantastic spas, shopping and entertainment at the Boardwalk and Downtown Disney... I could spend an entire vacation at WDW and not even have time to go to the parks if I wanted to enjoy the entertainment and amenities of the deluxe resorts.

I've been to WDW 18 times (I go down every other year for the marathon, and I have friends who live in Orlando, so it's fairly affordable) and honestly- I still haven't seen and done it all!

ETA: The number 1 reason for an adults-only trip to WDW

Holy advertisement Narnia! You should work for WDW. I've been like 8 times, 4 of which were as an adult, and I'm unapologetic about it.

I think the paleo diet is stupid and annoying.
Being a feminist means that you are in favor of equal rights and treatment of men and women. Period. This is not hard.
Disney is awesome. I went there for my honeymoon and we just took our 2 year old and 1 year old there this May. They loved it.
I buy my bras (I mean my 1 bra) from VS because they are the best quality IMO, however I dislike them as a brand and company because I think they are racist as fuck and I don't like giving them my money (hence my 1 and only bra). In case you were wondering, here is one example of how VS is racist and gross:

Sorry to drag up yesterday's post guys, but I want to address this.

@Marcilene1, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you probably know little to nothing about the paleo "diet". By the way, "diet" is used in terms of lifestyle, not a crash diet. Hence why it is usually called the paleo lifestyle.

I've gone into this before, so I'm not going to say too much about it, but to be honest, I find the bolded statement pretty ignorant. You think it's stupid and annoying? That's quite the blanket statement to say about a way of life that occurred literally millions of years before processed foods and starches came along.

So, I know this is UO, but seriously -- that is just dumb. At least do a little research before you totally negate it as stupid and annoying.

Dude, paleo is not how people lived for millions of years. Nice try though. And we are not biologically the same as people that lived millions of years ago, so we shouldn't eat as they ate.

And yes it is quite annoying. Not so much the diet itself, but the people doing it that cram it down other people's throats and gloat about how awesome they are. AKA- you.

I am not trying to cram it down anyone's throat. I wish people would be more open-minded about it, that's all. Not calling it stupid and annoying. And you're right, biologically we are not the same. But our bodies are not made to thrive off of chemical, genetically-modified food.

I don't wish to get into a debate about it. I just hate to see something so natural get put down all the time as being "stupid".

ETA: Also, I am not gloating. I am not completely paleo, it's just something I lean towards. I do not think I'm better than anyone, I don't think anyone could possibly be better than someone else -- especially based on food choices.

How you want to eat concern yourself and yourself only.(and maybe your doctor)

You want to eat paleo? Fine! But don't push it down my throat! Especially when people who do paleo eat stuff like almond flour and coconut oil.

Oh, so your cavemen people did grind their own almonds to make "approved" pastries? Fascinating.

I have to give you that one. I can't imagine them doing anything of the sort.

I'm sorry this turned into drama, my point was not "EVERYBODY NEEDS TO DO IT!", my point was calling it stupid is just not right.

Obviously, I now regret saying anything -- it's something I feel passionate about, and I hate to see it get a bad name. That's all.

Show's over, folks. I shall keep my paleopinions to myself.

@Jasperk23 - I don't disagree with you on the "calling it stupid" part.

Diets are such a touchy subjects. I did Atkins back in the days and was so fucking obsessed with it. It made me ballistic when people told me it was crap. Meh.

I thrive for a balance diet. But at the same time, I do believe that to be truly happy and balanced, I need some Cheetos and cupcakes and greesy pizza once in a while.

To each their own.

Thanks A LOT!!!! I told myself no chips today. Now I'm eating Cheetos with my PB&J ...... It doesn't even go!!!

I personally don't understand the paleo diet but the people I know on it are so freaking annoying!!!! Supposedly according to these ppl this diet will cure any illness that you have.

I hate anything that people try to shove down other people's throats, be it diets, politics, religion, child rearing, etc. There's a huge difference between saying "this is what I believe and why, but I respect if you choose to do differently" vs "the things I believe are the ONLY way to do things, and you are wrong and evil if you don't agree with me".

I completely agree! I super love this!

Ok, just to clarify:

I don't think people who are doing the paleo "diet" are stupid. What I think is stupid is calling it the paleo diet/lifestyle/whateverthehell because what you are eating in no way resembles how our paleo ancestors ate. At all. Cutting out processed foods/gmos =/= the paleo diet/lifestyle. You want to live paleo? Go out and hunt some deer and forage some fucking berries. Don't bake almond flour muffins. Or don't call it paleo. I just feel like this is another fad/scam for some people to make money off of (because it is).
