I don't think Ryan Gosling is attractive. I think men with beards are more attractive than men without facial hair.

So wrong.
Maybe he could be if he grew a beard.

DH has a baby face but he looks hilarious with any type of facial hair. His head is a dirty blonde but the irish comes out in him if he grows his face. It's like Darrin McCarty red/brown<-for those of you are Red Wings fans and it's spotty. He's 36 years old and can't grow a full beard. It's kind of funny.

I have never dated anyone that couldn't grow facial hair.

DH has a beard. When he shaves it off he looks like a 12 year old and it grosses me out. I like a beard on my man.

I like a happy medium. DH looks like a true mountain man when he grows a full out beard and looks ridic clean shaven. He looks really good with a goatee and a little scruff. Luckily, he keeps a beard for a little over a month (Move-ember).
DH grew a beard for his sisters wedding (long story short, he was pissed at his parents, his parents hate facial hair and tattoos. So he grew a beard and I wore a dress that showed my tattoos for the wedding, because we are that petty haha). He has kept it since, and it makes him 100x more attractive to me, even though I thought he was a total babe before. Also, another UO. If you have kids, please don't talk about how one of them is the favourite in your speech at their wedding, mention another one, reference the still born baby, and completely omit your eldest. It makes the wife of the one who wasn't even mentioned really fucking mad.

Wow, what a crummy experience.

My DH has a baby face too. He wants so badly to have a beard or goatee or something, but seriously can't grow one to save his life. It is patch and not full at all. I tried to be supportive this last go around because he really wanted it and all that, but after four months, he shaved it all off last night. Back to my baby faced husband. Now he wants to grow his hair out. It turns grey the longer it gets. I doubt it will last long.

Thankfully DH doesn't like his own facial hair and has no desire to grow it. I challenged him one time and I learned my lesson haha. He also has grey hair but his hair so light that it doesn't show. If anything he looks younger than me which is ridiculous and he's 7 years old. Not fair!

Not allowing your children to be around animals and teaching them how to properly behave is doing them a disservice. We have a family in my neighborhood that runs to the other side of my street when I walk my 2 calm dogs (they aren't a pulling or excitable) with my toddler. Their kids have cried at the sound of a small dog behind the fence. Freaking out around a dog is not a good idea.

Yesterday my SIL decided she wasn't going to go with a DCP because they had a dog and "it's too dangerous when the baby learns to walk." Uh...our sitter has a Great Dane who weighs more than our sitter. It never once entered my mind to be nervous or concerned.

Yeah, we have a dog, so unless the DCP's dog was a vicious a-hole, like MIL's dog, it would't even occur to me that it was a red flag.

UO: I don't get all the hype surrounding Channing Tatum. He's a decent actor( loved 21 Jump Street) but I don't find him all that attractive.

Have you SEEN Magic Mike?! Seriously. I don't know how you could type that. Then again, I didn't really like 21 Jump Street!

Yeah I didn't like Magic Mike...I'm sure that's another UO!

I haven't even seen it! Maybe that's more of a FFFC.

I just saw it a few months ago. I knew I wasn't going to like it but thought, hey. Why not?

When we first moved to SC we had a division party. This guy came with his two kids who were like 5 and 3. They FREAKED OUT when they saw our puppy. Like crying, running away. She was just standing there. I don't think that's healthy at all. Then they spent the rest of the time jumping on my couch with their shoes on and teasing the dog through the glass door. I totally agree with your statement.

Is it bad that half the time when I get dressed in the morning lo and I have pretty much matching outfits on? I must really like skinny jeans and bright top.

my kid HATES having her hands dirty. but is usually thoroughly painted with whatever she had for lunch. as long as it isn't on her hands, she's happy.

DD is this way too. Whenever they paint at daycare, they make a comment on her daily sheet like "Hannah chose not to paint today". If she has access to a tub of water, she will repeatedly wash her hands.

...maybe she's OCD.

My kid is the same way. She won't finger paint. And she asks for a napkin repeatedly at every meal and wipes down her hands, her face, her tray.

I agree. At the same time, the parent/s might have legit phobias about dogs. Not saying it's right to pass that on, but I guess I'd rather assume that this is a struggle for them than assume that they're just being negligent.

Super late to the game UO, inspired by work: Professors shouldn't push their worldviews or politics on students. I realize that you think you are "right" and are "educating" your students, but it's disrespectful and poor teaching.

the head of finance did not teach finance. I listened to him go on and on for 2.5 hours of how Republicans were the devil and liberal 4 lyfe. To this day I want to go back there and tell him to stfu. All his tests were take home and you could work with others because he literally did not teach. Head of finance. Tenure. Jerk.

This happens to me with DD a lot. I swear I don't mean to do it. I always laugh at myself when I realize it.

Us too. It is pretty much a daily occurance at my house.

I know I will and plan on dressing DD and 2.0 in coordinating clothing. Partly because I know it's going to happen any way, partly because it's cute, partly because my style has a ton to do with what they will wear. I also take tons of pictures and I like that our clothing doesn't distract from the moment being captured because it 'goes' together.

If people buy them the same outfit they will likely wear them at the same time for those people.

Nothing ground breaking or scandalous. @IndigoVader‌ mom is offering to take children! But get in line, I'm first!

Totally late - but just wanted to add that just because kids are scared of dogs, doesn't mean their parents are sheltering them.

We have two 80 lbs chocolate labs. Our boys love them, get knocked over by them constantly and deal with their barking.

Put my kids in a room with a dog under 20 lbs? They freak. Aedan cried several times last weekend at a friend's house last weekend because their tiny, chihuahua (sp?) freaked him out. And they are both terrified of my IL's new dog.

Now, I don't encourage the fear, make them feel safe and usually laugh, so I agree that parents should do something to make their kids comfortable around dogs. But it never fails, my kids are freaked out by small dogs. It's weird.

Spending $100+ on sheets is obscene. I've been looking for some, and just the fitted sheet is $90ish. That's too much.

Cleveland potholes are bad! Even if you can get a claim through the city they only reimburse about 75% of them and the amount is like $50 for hundreds of dollars worth of damage.

If you can't miss that hole you shouldn't be driving.

My husband has lost two tires to NYC potholes. His option was pothole or car next to him.

What about when the whole thing fills with water and you can't see how big/ deep it is. That's not a fair call at all

I think income based assistance should look at more than just your AGI.

ETA: I can only play here today while covering a coworker's breaks, and it just took me 13 of the 15 minute first break to read through this. I'll be back, though.

like what?

Bills, rent, etc. Not necessarily for "luxuries" but for necessities.

I agree with a recent ruling that women should be able to ban whoever they want from the delivery room, including the father.

I saw this too and I agree completely.
I totally thought you would disagree with me! I almost tagged you on it.

Really @meatballesq?

Not in a bad way. I feel like you have string feelings about fathers rights for some reason but maybe I'm confusing you with someone else. I always think of you and your husband having an extra strong bond. I meant it in a good way. Also I saw your other post and couldn't respond. Hugs momma. Hang in there.
