I think American Horror Story is annoying. Admittedly, I've only caught a few episodes here and there. But, it seems like Ryan Murphy just chooses to do things for the shock value and to be "edgy", not because it enhances the plot or makes it any better. DH enjoys the show so I'm giving it a shot this season instead of just watching an episode here and there, but most of the time I end up just shaking my head at some of the choices the show makes. I'd really just like to see more genuinely interesting characters, not characters who just make crazy-ass choices in the name of entertainment. Flame away.
@FlemDance ... I've started DVRing the show after all the talk about it but haven't actually seen an episode yet. No real point to this post. Maybe it's vandalism?
I don't and never will understand why so many people get hyped up for football or any sport they don't know how to play themselves for that matter. I'm sure a large majority of fans of football have never played a game in their life either. I guess I'm a more 'go out there and do it yourself' kind of person and only bother to watch hobbies or sports that I understand because I have played or done them myself.
AHS is a very uneven show. The first season was amazing. The second was muddled. The third kicks ass because Hello Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates.
I haven't seen the new one yet. I'm scared of clowns.
Love Ryan Murphy though. Love him.
First one was great. Never finished the second one, it sucked that much. Third one was a snoozer. This one is really creeper and already full of creepy killer clown stuff. You should give it a go!
OK another UO. Branching from the AHS uo. I think the Walking Dead is sooooo boring. My husband loves it. So does everyone I know personally. I have tried time and time again and I just can't even.

I love me some Walking Dead. I have no interest in the whole zombie craze going on but for some reason, I get sucked into this. I think it's the cliff hangers at the end of each episode. I JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!
The rash of "parties" I am invited to is ruining my favourite season. Kids clothes, leggings and make-your-own jewelry all within a two week time frame.
I haven't gotten my kid a fancy halloween costume. I haven't had time to put out the decor or even get a pumpkin (though we went to the pumpkin patch). I will probably wind up figuring something out last minute to make. UO: refuse to have mom guilt over this. He's 5 months. He doesn't care.
If you live near an Once Upon Child they have cheap Halloween costumes there! I got a really cute Tigger costume for $8. They had racks and racks of them.
I don't know how I feel about Disney movies. I wasn't raised on them and never got into them thereafter. I mean, I will not restrict DD from them, but I will not make an effort to buy all the DVDs either.
Apparently, this is a UO but I thought last week's "bat signal" was harmless fun and is not a bad thing once in a while. No need to be serious all the time.
UO: Black Friday is stupid. I have no interest in fighting crowds to get a good deal on a toaster, TV or whatever.
I love online shopping for this reason. I can sit on the couch in pjs and shop to my heart's content. Black Friday isn't as big a thing in Canada yet but Boxing Day can get crazy. Rarely is there anything I want so badly that I will venture out into those crowds to get it.

I thought it was fine for a day but if you are too cool for the board and the board is not cool enough for you (hence the FB group) then why come play with said folks?
I think the conceal and carry law is stupid. Just because you are able to get a license to carry a gun doesn't mean you need it strapped to your hip 24/7. My neighbor thinks he's "Johnny Law" and likes to mow his lawn with his gun strapped on his hip exposed for all the neighborhood to see. We live in one of the safest suburbs and our neighborhood is primarily young families with small children.
Not UO (I hope): I think it's ridiculous to have stores open on Thanksgiving. I'm too full and tired to deal with that. I worked and Thanksgiving once and it sucked balls whether you volunteer or not!
UO: I think it's sad when people say they hate/loathe the holidays. Does it really kill you to hear happy music or to deal with happier people for a month or 2? I've done retail, I know people can be jerks, but come on. Let's enjoy the end of the year damn it!

This. I have been a Black Friday shopper since high school. I will happily get up at 3am to go shopping for great deals, but I hate the idea of stores being open on Thanksgiving. That time is for families, and sometime it can be heard enough to get people together without having to throw an extra work day into the mix.
Too tired to deal with quoting, but I thought last week was fun. The nfg'ers should come by every week. This board lacks in good fun sarcasm. Chipotle, qdoba, moes...all vary by location. We have 2 chipotles - one is usually really good the other is usually kind of meh. I was at qdoba once and they ran out of chicken! It wasn't even busy, just poorly managed. I don't get why people respond in threads that don't pertain to them. Someone says hey, anyone doing this? Dealing with this? Etc. 15 people respond, nope all good here. Must you reply to every single thread?
I'm beginning to like you more and more. The commenting "not here" on "Is your baby doing this/are you experiencing this" threads annoys me to no end. People are posting them to find solace in other people that are or aren't experiencing it...not to make you feel worse about it. ISN'T THIS PLACE FOR SUPPORT?! But seriously, that irks me.

DH's friend showed a Disney princess movie to his daughter--the Little Mermaid maybe--and she's apparently completely stopped listening to him after that. She talks back etc. If you really think about it, Disney princesses on a whole are not good role models for positive parent-child relationships.
You make a good point. Also, the whole princess thing bothers me. I feel they are a little too... sexy maybe. We have some good friends with a 4yo completely Disney princess obsessed. She owns every dress up dress from the Disney store. Last time I saw this girl she was walking down the stairs from her room in plastic heels and fanning herself. IDK. Just too much for me.
I'm not really liking the newbs and or people that haven't posted or introduced themselves starting threads.. Like hello who are you? We've been here for a long time and you show up now? Sorry not sorry

That reminds me of another UO. The name changes are getting kind of ridiculous. I can barely keep track anymore of who is/was who.

Is this directed at me for starting the UO thread? Because I've been here since the beginning, yo. I just went MIA while on maternity leave because bumping at work is fun but bumping at home with a newborn is hard.

Lol no not directed at you just other users who I've never seen once respond to stuff and then ask questions. It's annoying.
Also I did a name change and acct change in jan because I couldn't remember my log in crap for some pregnancy brain reason and I've been here since aug of last year so I understand that. Another UO I love SOA. And the walking dead and chipotle so suck it! Haha

We don't have Chipotle so I don't know about that but I'm with you on the cilantro. Ick.
