1. My confession: I have actually agreed with some of the things @FarmBoysWife has said lately. This has not always been the case, that's why it is my confession.
2. I almost always grocery shop in yoga pants, but I do put my hair up, and put on some tinted moisturizer and mascara at the least. I think you can wear yoga pants/sweats without looking sloppy. I only really notice outfits if I like it, and want to copy it. Well unless you are wearing house shoes, pajamas or a bath robe, that is weird to me.
3. No opinion on the asshole thing, because I am FTM. I have however called students assholes to other people (never to the student).
4. I believe in death with dignity, but I only think it should be an option for someone who is terminally ill.
1. When I originally posted that only ftms had love titted, that was true. I also recognized many ftms are aware that kids can be assholes, little shits, buttheads, etc. maybe I should have clarified that.
2. I still maintain that if someone has never ever thought during their child's childhood, "my kid is an asshole (or insert your word of choice)" you're lying or heavily medicated or not the one actually parenting. This gig is rough and not always fun and easy.
3. My baby seems to really enjoy his zoo cage.
Married 11/23/11, TTC starting 10/12, BFP#1 11/30/12, Adoption of stepson finalized 03/19/13,Loss of our daughter at 20w4d due to incompetent cervix 03/27/13, BFP#2 06/28/13, DS2 born 3/1/14.
I'm a STM and love titted. While I may have a lot of words to describe my toddler, "asshole" is not one of them. Gremlin? Sure. Stink pot? Okay. Naughty spawn - for sure. I don't see them as being "assholes" I see them as toddlers. I will however assess the situation again when they are teenagers....
edit: words
This. I don't cuss so it skews my opinion, but I'm not cool with calling my kids names like that. Punk, snot, grump - I can dig those. Do what y'all want; it's not making me gasp in shock and judgement, but I ain't on board with that one.
My confession: Even if I'm totally on board with what someone is posting in a debate, if I come across a terrible misspelling or typo, I think twice about love titting or supporting it. Big errors drive me crazy when it can easily be fixed before posting. And I know... Ain't nobody got time for that. But it still bugs me. So it goes like this in my head: "Yeah girl... Darn straight! Couldn't agree more! I'm sooo love titting this. Waaaait. Oop. Nope. ::sigh:: Fine. ::reluctant love tit::"

I can't stand when people use the word ain't. It makes me not want to love tit their post. I'm not saying I don't cringe when I see grammar and spelling errors (I'm a horrible speller but I spell check) but ain't IS NOT a word. So in my book it shouldn't be used.
Ain't is actually a word. It's in the dictionary.
Well, I don't take people serious when they use it. In my book it isn't.
If we are being picky, I think it should be "seriously."
The best thing is when someone is all fired up trying to prove a point and there are spelling/grammar errors. That's all I see, the argument or point gets bypassed!
This.

A word here or there doesn't bother me if it's misspelled. If da hoe thang iz lyke dis, I want to tell them to go back to school.
Like wear the hole time they type there misspelling everyone word or misusing them. they're must be hundreds of teachers out their that cringe just thinking about that crap.
As a middle school English teacher (although I recognize I'm not an "expert") I've been holding back and just want to say, "ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" It DOES drive me nuts!! There,their, they're/it's vs. its/period problems/comma issues/woulda/coulda/shoulda, etc...yes, I don't understand why or how grownups forget them. But, my 11 year olds- yes. Grammar is a huge part of my curriculum. But then I remember (some of the time) it's the internet, and rules are often broken. On the other hand, most of my posts onTB take so damn long to write because I'm a perfectionist proofreader, which I just can't help. I don't get all that stabby on here (but if it's REALLY bad, eh...) as much as on paper/public signs type of stuff. (Like once I saw a sign outside a Midas that read "Tire Sail" @-) ) That's bad!! We all use improper grammar from time to time, which I get, totally. But, as @jazzyexpo put it so eloquently, whin yew uze sertain type of language, I winder....
(*disclaimer* Many adults have unresolved learning disabilities, of which of course this does NOT apply to...nor does it apply to my students who have them either, obviously.)
I am more lenient to people who are mobile, I have had a few awesome autocorrects that are not caught soon enough. but I am a born Texan and ain't is part of my vocabulary, its not that I am under educated (I have 3 degrees) its just that its part of my culture.
I understand having a few hang ups on grammar and spelling. However; if you truly discount everything a person states because of one simple mistake you might be an anal retentive asshole... there are real reasons people have spelling/grammar difficulties besides ESL.
Just a few that I or friends/family members have and unfortunately try to work around or in spite of: dyslexia, dysgraphia, speech impairment, ADD, etc.
Yes, the majority of mistakes people make are because they are rushed, do not read over and correct their mistakes and/or don't recognize the mistake (true issue), but the lording over is just as unattractive.
There is a difference between simply not spell checking and then using the wrong word! Right-write. Their-there-they're. So-sew. To-two-too
That has nothing to do with being mobile or just not caring to spell check...
I think you need to inform my phone of that. It autocorrects things wrong all the time. Plus I type too fast and do the wrong their/there/they're. The worst is it adds plurals to everything! Typos happen.
On that note, I judge people who point out grammar mistakes in an argument. It means they have nothing of value to contribute.
