Can we do UOs today?

stoneycakes · November 2014

And maybe FFFCs tomorrow? Because I know a lot of people won't be around Thursday and Friday.

stoneycakes · November 2014

Not that I actually have a UO to contribute or anything. It just seems like nap is going to be a bust today and I'm looking for some solace.

I think mothers with small children need priority parking more than expectant mothers, and I'm irritated by places that clearly think otherwise.

I totally agree. I have been known to circle around a parking lot multiple times to pick the least temper tantrum inducing spot.

I totally agree with this, no need for pregnant women to have a closer spots. I'm getting around just fine, and did with my last pregnancy too. It pisses me off when DH feels like he needs to circle around to find me a closer spot. I'm all like just park the car already.

That's so great that you guys didn't have symphysis pubis dysfunction, and didn't feel like your body was going to crack in half then shatter into tiny pieces every time you took a step with your left leg.

With the kids, I always park next to the cart corral, so I don't have to walk away from the vehicle once I get the kids strapped in.

Can you not get a temporary handicap parking placard for SPD, TJ? I don't begrudge a closer parking spot to anyone who's in pain.

I'm just being a bitter Betty this week. I don't know, I never asked. I prefer to suffer in silence and give dirty looks to the B's like @mamalamb10 described above.

UO: Ketchup is delicious on almost everything. Especially chicken, chili, and tamales. Yep, I eat like a toddler.

stoneycakes · November 2014

^^^For the record, I completely disagree with this, but I gave the L peen for your enthusiasm

ETA: This was in regards to TJ's post, but then Awful came in and interrupted me. Because she's awful.

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner isn't hard. It just takes a little planning. I already have the stuffing, potatoes, and cranberry sauce done.

Yeah. I think people need to stop using the term "hard" when they mean "time consuming."

stoneycakes · November 2014

It's effing dark out already. It's not even 5 pm. Unpopular.

I had SPD and no special parking. Just the ability to park my ass in the tub for hours and wear a special belt.

My UO is math sucks.

I think it's weird to see ovulation cycle charts in signatures. Even if I knew you in real life I would have little interest in what your uterus is up to on any given day.

Supportive members of Infertility boards really appreciate seeing each other's ovulation charts in signatures. It's how we help each other.

Damn I really am in a mood today. That opinion is not unpopular - ask MH.

Another vote for the cart corral parking. Especially while grocery shopping with 2. V goes in the cart from the corral and can't run off while I stick G in the wrap.

My BFF sends me her chart when she's TTC. Because I ask for it. And then we obsess over it together. LOL.

Does that make me weird? We draw the line at cervical fluid. LOL.

I love kitchen paraphernalia from restaurant supply stores so much. I don't know why more home cooks don't shop at them. Everything is so practical, no bells and whistles and built to take abuse. I went to buy a food safe bucket to brine my turkey in and walked out with said bucket, a 1/2 sheet cooling rack, a pair of $3 tongs and 4 food storage containers that are 10x as durable as tupperware.

Meesh, why would you want to use ketchup when you have maple syrup as an option? Everyone knows pancakes, waffles and French toast are vehicles for maple syrup. Have you ever tried ketchup on a grilled cheese? If you like ketchup, that's where it's at.

Amen!!

I bought a half sheet pan from a supply store in 1998 for $5. I still have it and use it several times a week.

I have to agree with this one. Dh and I went to one when our forks went walking off (service of 12 down to 5 forks) with the intention of just buying some cheap restaurant tableware.....but found the exact design of dh's tableware set so just bought another dozen forks. Dh's first wife had bought the set and dh had no clue where to find them. We were given an industrial size pan scraper as a freebie with the forks....that's what I used when I need to scrape diapers.
