UO Thursday

carleym93 · July 2015

Anyone got a good one? I need reading material. I have a clingy 16 day old baby that won't sleep unless she is on my chest so I'm trapped in my bed until further notice

Mine is that I don't care about the lion killer that's in the news. He's my dentist or at least was. And always has such funny stories to share. He paid a lot of money for people to take him on this adventure and relied on them for their knowledge. I Don't think we should kill lions as they are endangered.....but people are more upset about a lion than human babies. Like seriously... I think there are bigger things to get offended by. Priorities people....

Yep, didn't even know this was a thing. Saw a brief post on Facebook. People do lots of dumb things and the media selects what's going to be an issue and what's not. I agree there are bigger problems to focus on.

I think this is a pretty UO.... But I will never understand why people throw full blown birthday parties for their children's "first birthdays". It's all about the parents really. I saw pictures on Facebook of one recently where they were trying to get the baby to open gifts... She obviously didn't care.

My UO may just affect me...but at this moment...I hate doctors! I've seen 4 different docs since being in L&D since 11:30a yesterday. All 4 have differing opinions. I've been in tears all day long and at this point I just lay here and half ass listen to what they have to say. Im so done. If I could sign out AMA without losing my OB doc, I so would. I miss my family and being here is literally making me sick!

I was lurking on one of the other boards & the amount of ungrateful women bitching about what they got from their baby showers made me wish I could throat punch them through my phone. As my kids love to say "you get what you get so don't throw a fit". If my 6 year olds comprehend this then so should a bunch of grown women. Nuff said %-(

I would also like to add when did people get the idea that other people should provide for their children?!.. k end rant

So much this! I WILL add though...that its important to teach "good gift giving" too. Someone gave me their maternity clothes and postpartum BRAS AND UNDERWEAR at my baby shower. There was definitely some blood on stuff....

Otherwise, I am so grateful for everything I received. Probably more clothes than I'll ever need, but that just means I won't need to buy clothes for my daughter!

I can't believe you'll lurk a board that has preggie beetches at that stage of pregnancy. I was about to lose my mind over them on our board. Thank goodness baby shower stage of pregnancy is over

I deserve ALL the baby swag on porcelain china while peacocks frolic in the grass behind us...

Oh no way!!!! Someone gave you used underwear?!?!?! Yeah it's ok to be "ungrateful" about that

emmacake08 · July 2015

My UO is that I'm sick of people who get into any physical activity that requires tons of $$ on gear. I see guys riding all through town on their $1000 bicycles with full bike dress and shoes like they're on the Tour de France. Another acquaintance is into rock climbing all of the sudden and just bought $600 worth of gear :-? Whatever happened to putting on tennis shoes and going for a hike?

Omg this! It pisses me off when people brag about their accomplishments skiing for this reason! Like, great you took a HELICOPTER to the top of a mountain and used your several thousand dollar gear to do some tricks with your fancy go pro and selfie stick... I live in CO so I can't escape this kind of bragging! If you're good at skiing you probably also have a trust fund. Nuff said.

Priorities people....

Here's my UO take on this - the story stands for 'bigger picture' stories, not just the death of one lion. That is, is it ok to sacrifice one animal of an endangered species to use the funds to conserve others? Who is responsible for allowing these sorts of things to happen - ie should the USA place stricter laws on trophy imports? And What kind of person gains pleasure from killing?

Secondly, imagine how much GOOD he could have done for the environment, or indeed people, spending that money on conservation or aid work in Africa, instead of getting his personal jollies killing an animal.
