UO Thursday

Maelara · June 2014

So, can we make this one as spicy as the last couple weeks?? Have fun ladies!

NLJ82 · June 2014

I hate hugs. That's not spicy...and I don't even know if it's an UO, but I hate them. I don't like to be touched and all my mother in law wants to do is hug me & all my co workers want to do is rub my stomach. Not even my own mother (Thankfully she knows better).

Imma cut someone.

wildflower75 · June 2014

I HATE wearing pants and have only worn dresses for the past 8 years (approximately). I also hate flats and sneakers but had to succumb to them during my first pregnancy because of my SPD.

abbyful · June 2014

I hate wearing shoes. Sandals are okay, but I prefer to be barefoot. (Sucks I live in the Midwest, shoes/boots are a must during the winter. I need to move someplace warmer.)

mommymeg143 · June 2014

@wildflower75...I hate wearing pants too. Ugh! My closest is full of dresses.

I'm going to springboard off of your flats comment and say I hate heels. I've never been a fan and would much rather wear flats or sandals. I think it has to do with my friends all being right at or just under 5 ft tall so if I ever wore heels around them I looked like a
giant. No bueno.

wallygirl · June 2014

I don't like shoes. Well I do like them and own a ton but I prefer to be barefoot. I seriously could be the spokesperson for southern barefoot and pregnant women. They are the last thing that goes on before I walk out the door and the first things off when I walk in. I love when the weather gets warm because I can live in flip flops which are the closest thing to being barefoot yet still go out in public.

Maelara · June 2014

My UO - I will be using a leash for DD. She runs away and I live on a very busy street. Once the baby gets here I cannot risk her safety because of some side eyes.

I seriously don't understand people's problem with this. I think it's a great idea. I mean...don't go putting a collar with a leash on her but those backpack leashes are adorable and very handy!! Go for it, girl!! Side eye those bishes back.

Lol! The collar and leash made my day!

No, it will be one of those cute little backpack types. I saw some at toys r us the other day. I'll pick one up soon!!

I don't think OJ Simpson killed Nicole and Ron alone or even at all.

I will squeel with delight if Hilary Clinton runs for POTUSA in 2016.

Every child should take swimming lessons by the age of 4. The latest.

I have zero issues with boy dancers or boy cheerleaders. Or girls playing football.

I think it should be illegal to put a child- under the age of 12, in a convertible or jeep or back of trucks or motorcycles.

If you take your child to the pool you need to put sunblock on that child. If you don't, I hope you burn and itch for months.

Alid86 · June 2014

I also don't like hugs either - my one friend says hugging me is equal to hugging a board (she's right).

I don't like crunchy peanut butter...DH and I have to buy separate kinds!

MalachiteDrake · June 2014

@KUinCBUSsaid: People who claim pregnancy is 10 months long make me crazy... (I guess this isn't really a UO, but more of a random statement). 40 weeks is NOT equal to 10 months. One month is longer than 4 weeks (exception: February).
All of that said, I recognize that pregnancy can SEEM like it takes forever.

So..... to the lovely ladies of N14, I am so thankful (perhaps this belongs on the thankful thread, heh) that y'all seem to understand how math works. For reasons I cannot understand DD's BMB seemed to be constantly debating this issue and I only realized this morning that I haven't seen a single 10 month-er here

Pregnancy is 10 months - 10 lunar months (all lunar months are 28 days/exactly 4 weeks long). Western cultures generally use a modified solar calendar (Gregorian) most of the time, so it's nine Gregorian months long. I think that's where the confusion comes in, when someone is talking about how long a pregnancy is. They don't remember to mention which calendar system they're using, and if they're speaking in lunar months and don't say so, they sound like a loon. :P

ETA: Quote fail.

I was at my niece's(7yo) recital over the weekend and my sister used to attend the school too. There's a boy who is a freshman in HS and is an absolutely exceptional dancer. He does EVERYTHING, Contemporary, Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip Hop, you name it! He won a few awards this past year and he's also on his HS football team. I concur, more boy dancers!!! I also religiously watch So You Think You Can Dance and the guys they let through are always amazing.

drives me nuts...

365.25 days in a year / 12 months in a year x 9 months ~ 274 days

365.25 days in a year / 12 months in a year x 10 months ~ 304 days

40weeks pregnancy x 7 days in a week = 280 days (which is much closer to 274 than 304)

I cringe whenever someone says its 10 months.

Dimples0101 · June 2014

I hate the word "preggers". How's that for spicy?

mexinugget · June 2014

I'm not a fan of letting little boys hair grow out super long. I don't believe all little girls have to have long hair and i don't believe all boys have to have short cropped hair. I do think though that by the time your little guys hair is to his shoulders, he needs a haircut. I mean to each their own, but i'm not letting ds hair get that long.

emoxymoose · June 2014

I thinks it's disgusting when cohabitating people go to the bathroom in front of each other. Everyone I know does it, and act like I'm a priss for shutting the door.

No, I'm not uncomfortable with gross things between H and I - I mean I pushed out a baby in front of him... But why must EVERYTHING be public between married people, and why is it that I'm the weirdo for wanting to push excrement out of my body and wipe my butt without someone watching.

mamatohne · June 2014

To whoever was disappointed by getting a skor blizzard vs a s' more blizzard, S's ore blizzards are gross!!! (I made dh stop to get me one and I was so disappointed)

Dudes. Let's keep this G rated. We can't get too crazy up in here.

sweetbabyrahe · June 2014

MY UO is I don't understand why anyone cares if it is 9 months or 10 months. It isn't even 40 weeks. It's 38 if you deliver on your due date because the first two weeks are pre conception. just silliness I say. I'll just be pregnant from now until this baby decides to come.

I couldn't agree more. I think it's *mainly* the randos. Every time I see one I want to run in and post a link to the exact same thread a few down.

I will, however, AW the shit out of my scan once I get the results on Tuesday

tacky? I hope so

feel free to link a different thread in there. That would be hilarious. That goes for everyone!

It is illegal for kids to be in the back of trucks, at least here. I don't know why it should be illegal to be in the back of a jeep or convertible so long as proper safety precautions are taken (including eyewear). I don't agree with the motorcycle argument at all, at least not here. Every motorcycle rider is required to have eyewear, and kids under 18(?) are required to have a helmet on. I'm not saying it's the safest mode of transportation, but a helmet does do a lot in the way of preventing casualties in case of an accident. I've been riding since I was around 3 years old (as soon as a helmet fit me properly). I'm also curious to hear your thoughts on dirtbiking at a young age and if that's included in motorcycles.

Most of the rest of yours aren't really UOs.

-----------

It's not illegal where I live, at least it wasn't. I should check to see.

I guess sfter working so many years in picu I've seen so many fatalities involving young kids in the back of jeeps or motorcycles I became somewhat skeptical of children riding like this. I worry more about jeeps because if they roll the child's head can sustain severe head trauma. Understandable it's most likely an irrational fear I have from seeing traumatic accidents with kids.
Dirt bikes and atv don't bother me quite as much, I think it's the helmet aspect. I get super worried with kids on motorcycles when it's more of a crotch rocket or when it's raining.

And hey, I'm trying to add UOs that are not food related!

Some of this may be me and I apologize! Not a rando, just come up with different questions on similar topics (i.e. registry). Plus, sometimes I get confused with continuation of old threads (like the daycare one today)

I'm glad you listed a bunch that WEREN'T food UOs!!

I agree 110% on the motorcycle thing. I have never ridden on one, and I can imagine they are a ton of fun, but I'm super scared of them. This goes for adults, too. I have personally known 3 people killed on them. Safe drivers, wearing helmets. When it comes against you and a car, guess who is gonna win.

lisaren · June 2014

And just throwing it out there, I love this board and the randoms don't bother me (ok yes some days it does) but I do wonder if this board isn't just a little too much rainbows and sprinkles. I mean really, not everyone gets along this great in real life. Snark is good. Love is good. Fake is not. I feel that some keep their real opinions of others and/or their opinions to themselves because of the rainbow label.

JamieK1882 · June 2014

(first of all, I know, I know this is a "food" UO that I hate but I think this really might be unpopular so I'm posting)

I don't like beer.

emoxymoose · June 2014

@‌lissydee In response to your meme People who constantly complain about people on welfare get on my nerves like no other. It's probably not as bad as it seems, but this is the number topic that comes up whenever my family gets together. I always have to leave because it makes me physically sick.

I'm tired of people acting like others are living the high life and getting food stamps, which is hardly ever the case. If you need help, I'm happy you have some, if you're milking the system then I believe, one way or another, you'll answer for it.

SugarSnap83 · June 2014

I don't mind people touching my baby bump- now random adults in the grocery store, probably not so much, but coworkers, family, friends, no problem.

I think most yoga pants are acceptable to wear out in public ( and so damn comfy!)

mander82 · June 2014

I wanted to keep riding my Harley this summer til my leather jacket no longer fit me, but DH said no way. Not a UO, just adding my 2 cents to the convo.

I do wear a helmet and full protective gear though. I always followed my brothers advice to me "ride like everyone else on the road is trying to kill you" ha ha.....it can be scary, but very fun too

Blasphemy.

I've tried! I just can't acquire a taste. The only kind I like is framboise (sp?)-the raspberry one. I can also stomach some cider beer.

Other than that I'm a mixed drinks/wine kinda gal.

Now I do love being prepared and all but damn, flashing your NRA permit in everyone's face, making constant statements about your rights, and all that jazz are just annoying! People in my state are out here training for a government take over and we have one of the largest private bunkers for any apocalypse that might happen.

And those stupid memes about guns not killing people but *insert weapon/ person of choice* killing people.

Why not just have a gun and you know- keep all the flashy shit to yourself. Learn how to use it. Keep it away from your children and/or teach them safety. And only pull it out if it is the last resort.

Typically, this is what most responsible gun owners do/attitude we have.

wildflower75 · June 2014

I'll probably get flamed for this...
I don't agree with co-sleeping... at least not in the same bed...next to the bed or attached to the bed is fine in the beginning but sleeping in bed with DH and I is not ok. I think the main reason I am so against it is because I know so many people who complain about getting their kids to sleep outside of their bed and I'm like "you created this situation yourself"... then they go on to complain about how it has changed their sex life or even worse their marriage in general...
I'm sure many of you co-sleep or plan to and I honestly don't care what people do.. I just don't agree with it and I feel like if you create this environment for your child then you shouldn't complain about it.
~This could just be me venting from all the complaints I hear from co-workers~

Oh you'd enjoy it here then. That is a HUGE UO. My friend decided that just because he could, he was going to carry his gun into Krogers with me. You know as if someone might need a gun shopping for milk and eggs. I guess if someone held us at gunpoint for the $100 in our neighborhood grocery store, I'd be glad he had it?

Not sure if this is directed at me or @excitedpreggo12, but your friend sounds like an ass. Most people who carry don't advertise it.

missnacholover yes my friend was being an ass that day. For sure. That's why I said you'd love it here. You'd be rolling your eyes at many of the gun swingers here. They're so proud and way too flashy.

Yeah, that shit bugs me. If you want to go through the proper channels to get your permit, go for it. There's no need to brag about it. People are dumb.
