It never occured to me that having a pup was like having a baby when it comes to everyone's unwanted judgemental advice. Fuckers.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in this life that won't invite unwanted judgmental advice from Fuckers.

I was challenged on my selection of Secret deodorant over Dove by a total stranger. I shit you not.

Did you back away slowly, giving them the stink eye? I think that's what I would do in that situation.

1st. @peanutbutterfox, Pun intended?.......... :-B

2nd. My BFF moved to NC a couple of years ago and then my hubs cousin who I used to hang out with moved to CA 2yrs ago, there's two people gone from my hang out cirle. Just recently I had a day to myself and I was going to my phone list and realized all these people I know and I've only hung out w/My bff and my c-i-l. WTH, I'm a sad, sad person.

Speaking of socially awkward, DH and I appear to be the only daycare parents not interested in becoming BFFs with the other parents. I've mentioned before they have all these trivia night fundraisers. But there's honestly not a chance in hell we are gonna spend $50 on tickets, plus food, drinks, and babysitter pay to hang out with people we don't know. I mean, I have friends. If I organically became friends with a daycare parent because my kid is friends with their kid or something, fine.

We also have a private Facebook page and several people posted multiple pics from their vacations saying "little Danny is having fun, but we're missing [daycare name]!" The last place we think about on vacation is our daycare. I can't tell if we're assholes or these people are insane.

They're insane.

I have no fucking idea what jamberry nails are... I thought it was a color of nail polish. I'm assuming I've missed the mark.

Clearly you have better FB friends than some of us.

It's strips of nail polish (typically ugly art) that "sticks" to you nails forever. Except it doesn't.

I have lots of Jamberry feels.

so this is like the Lee press-on nails for a new generation? Hello middle school I loved me some lee press-on nails.

It's more like nail wallpaper.

thebanich · July 2014

I so rarely hang out with people that aren't related* to me that when it happens I talk waaaaaaay too much and get super obnoxious. I always leave feeling like a total jackass. All my good friends live far away. I need friends.

ETA: Why won't fucking mobile let you edit? I'm trying to stay off my work computer TB.

myskyegirl · July 2014

I won't let my feelings be hurt that I wasn't invited to the NE Hangout. LOL <:-P

thebanich · July 2014

This is going to sounds really terrible. And I would never want to try to "compare" loss of life but.. its UO day and I guess I feel the need to be flamed.

I don't think you can compare what happened to MH17 to 9/11. They are not the same thing. On NPR the other day they kept calling it the "Netherlands' 9/11" and my immediate reaction is. No, its not the same.

Again. Lives were lost and it is devastating and all my thoughts and prayers are with those families.

1Panda · July 2014

I also have no friends. I had one, but she recently moved about an hour away, and our talks/visits are becoming less and less frequent so I imagine in another year or so we probably won't talk at all anymore.

I joined TB in hopes of more social interaction, but my fear of making a jackass out of myself keeps me from interacting too much. I almost have to pep talk myself when I do post... "this is the internet and you are annonymous. Who cares what these people you don't even know think?! Just push the damn post button!"

Anytime I hang out with people, I have a great time, get in my car and immediately assume I was a total moron and they hate me. This includes any ladies I've met here.

It's odd because I'm a fairly Fuck You, I Rule person in general, but I get weird in groups of women. IDK what it is.

My UO: I don't think Jamberry nails look great, and if one more person on my news feed starts selling them, I'm going to scream (sorry to FB friends who sell, I love you, I really do). I extend this Scream Threat to Pampered Chef, Thirty-One, Stella and Dot, etc etc etfuckingc

I'm on a nail kick, apparently.

Cannot agree more, on both accounts. My MIL also sells Plexus, and I had to block her.

Seems like all the NE get together girls are claiming to be awkward. Maybe we should sneak in some booze.

I'll be the overly talkative one. Please don't hate me.

I have a feeling that chatty people will be extremely appreciated.

I think this is kind of just an ethnocentric viewpoint, but I don't fault you for it. it was an attack, and many died, so it's the same vein as 9/11.

I guess it is short sighted of me. I don't know. It was an attack but they weren't searching for a passenger plane to shoot down. They thought it was a cargo plane (according to a few reports, I can't say this is a fact)

I know this doesn't make any difference. Perhaps I should I have kept these thoughts to myself.

I understand it's not on the same scale, but I'm sure the Netherlands are feeling that same hideous sense of confusion and vulnerability. I think it's lazy on the part of news outlets to just go for the obvious analogy. That's my issue with it.

I'm not trying to compare numbers. Its the intention behind what happened I guess?

Someone make me shut up.

I put my UO in my "Walmart vigilante" thread, but I will place it here as well. If I saw someone stealing a cart full of groceries and baby stuff, like diapers, I wouldn't say a word. If I did anything at all, I'd go buy them a gift card or something.

+1

On more than one occasion I will purchase things for the person ahead of me in line if they don't have enough money. Not if they are buying booze or something, but twice there has been a mom with her kids and whatever her benefits were were not sufficient to cover the food she was trying to buy, so I bought it. DH was incredulous as to how I spent $60 at Publix three days in a row but I told him he doesn't know my lyfe.

Booze is just as important, especially if there are diapers in that cart.

phunkyphish · July 2014

I don't really have an UO for today, but this has made me realize that I've never really cleaned our Dyson that we received as a wedding gift....5 years ago. It still works awesome, but I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.

UO:

I have a better time hanging out with the guys then I do the girls. Women are hard for me to connect with for some weird reason.

ScoutNumbers05 said:

I don't like suffering Olympics. Why does 9/11 have to be worse or more tragic? If you are a family member or loved one, the loss is the same. It's all bad and it's all wrong, and there are no winners here. Again, I think it's lazy to just slap a "X's 9/11" label on something because it's dismissive and fails to honor the particulars of each event. But that's cable news for you.

I assume this is directed at my UO. I don't think one was more tragic than the other. I just don't think that you can say they were the same thing. Not from a numbers/loss perspective. I'm really bad at trying to get across my point here.

------------ I can see what you mean. It does feel different if it's a deliberate attack vs an accident, at least when you're looking at it in terms of historical significance. But in the end, loss is loss for the people experiencing it, right?

Correct. And I really do recognize that. I'm not a total asshole.

I'm going to go eat my feelings. I'm really sorry if I offended anyone.

My UO, as a S/O of a conversation with MH this morning: I prefer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory over the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

oh hell no. Hell to the no. Nope.

I did not realize the movies had different titles, until now. *-:)

Fuck this. I would not be able to be in her house, did she not see Poltergeist? It?

thebanich · July 2014

OMG. Why can't I just answer questions like a normal person? Every time the HR director asks me a question I go into a long winded explanation of why/how something is done the way it is and she just sums it up in like 5 words and walks away.

I'm must have woken up on the dumbass side of the bed this morning.

My great aunt collects dolls. They are on every surface of her house. They creep me the fuck out. I love her, but I was always scared to death to go to her house when I was little. As an adult, I just invite her over so I don't have to be watched by 456 dolls.

I could not sleep as a small child if my dolls were facing me. I would stare at them until I thought I could see them moving.

Then I would run to my brothers room and sleep on the floor.

myskyegirl · July 2014

I don't have a phobia or anything but a whole collection of clowns sounds horrible.

My grandma collected empty packs of Marlboros and Jack Daniels bottles.

@littlestjerry, I am 5 pages late with this, but from one asshole to another - I am kind of snickering at "Muffins with Mom" and "Donuts with Dad."

P's school does this, but I kind of love it. What's not to love about crafting macaroni necklaces and scarfing free mini muffins and being with her instead of at work? The social interaction part of it is a small price to pay.

I watched both of those movies for the first time in her clown infested livingroom and then slept there on the couch. Kind of. I didn't actually sleep much.

That is terrifying! I'm glad you didn't sleep much, if you had, the clowns would have killed you, no doubt.

Interviews are the worst. Also, I recently read an article that you can hire a creepy clown to stalk your kid for their birthday. Why the fuck would anyone do that? And of course at the end of the article was a gallery of creepy clowns. I hate clowns,

I have to laugh. It might be a little funny to do this to like... a 16 year old.

Obviously I'm a great parent.
