  • I wonder if bacon condoms make your vag smell like burnt bacon afterwards? Lol. So gross!

    ...and I'm done with my oatmeal...

    Sorry! I know how that feels, I was eating away last time and then a video of a deer giving birth came out on FB and I lost my appetite and ran for the toilet!

    @DrillSergeantCat- oh god no! Just so much wrong going on there. Lol.

  • WHY omg this is so awful and so funny all at once


    That "meat" looks so displeasing, too. I mean, you're trying to sell a product that will make people feel good about themselves... Why advertise with a lil smokey? At least upgrade to a kielbasa or something. In marketing and IRL, size does matter.

  • @AdventureMama Seriously! I just want to ask them if they picked up a thesaurus by mistake..

    This made me laugh out loud at work! Sometimes, you have to wonder…

    Also, what, exactly, does heaven spelled backwards mean??

  • First, bacon is awesome, unless it's in a non - food format. then gross. 
    I like cargo shorts, but I like it when my husband wears his flat front shorts, like his golf shorts and other khaki flat front pants or shorts. He's 6'5" so the biggest issues is usually finding a pair that are long enough, but as long as they are long enough, I prefer flat front shorts over cargo shorts.  But I am partial to that preppy look. 
    Lastly, my UO ( I am not sure if it is really unpopular) is that I feel bad whenever any personal information gets hacked (like when Target and Anthem got hacked), but I kinda happy that the horrible website, Ashley Madison's hackers posted the info. 
    I find it gross sites like Ashley Madison exist. If you feel like you have to cheat, just don't and get a divorce instead..Not that I think divorce is the answer to everything, but cheating a deal breaker for me.
    And of course Josh Duggar is the first (and only, so far) celebrity to have a confirmed account.

My UO, which I am sure is probably a huge one here lol but anyways, I don't like names ending in ...iliana. Guiliana, Liliana, Eliana, etc. I'm sure there are lots of ladies who love these names but I'm just getting sick of seeing so many of them! I know this isn't necessarily flame free though ;)
    I really like those names, but I hate the inevitable nick names that would come from having such a long name: Julie (Guilie just looks weird), Lily, Ellie.  I think I even had Eliana on my list until I realized this.
    Giuliana is on my list and I also would hate the nickname Julie, Jewel, Jewels, etc. but I think if you tell people "her name is Giuliana" they're less likely to use those nicknames. It's 4 syllables so saying the actual name isn't hard if people just aren't lazy lol. (Because Harry Potter is the greatest reference point for everything) no one called Hermione "Her" or "Hermy" or anything dumb! Except Viktor Krum but he had trouble with English in general ;)
    True.  When people tried to call me Mandy, that's exactly what my parents told them.  But when she goes to school and I don't have much control anymore, anything could happen.  I would be irked by a teacher or a friend calling her by an unauthorized nickname.  It becomes her choice to either go with the nickname or not, and if I've spent nine months of my life agonizing over the perfect name for her, that is what I want her to be called!  I should probably just get over it now though, because really anything can be nicknamed.

    I'm going to second this. I was so excited to get them and I think my expectations were just too high. Their chili cheese fries on the other hand. YUM!

  • @thecoffeebunch  My parents misspelled my name on my birth certificate, and I have spent my whole life correcting people on pronunciation and spelling, so it is a sore subject for me.  Ayden is pretty straight forward.  But I know it is a sensitive subject for many, and I do not mean to offend either!

    @bredoll - I have avoided getting the gummy vitamins because I know my husband will just eat them all.  He's asked me already several times if I want to switch to them!


    No No No, Im so sorry if I sounded snarky. You did not offend me. Ayden seems like a relatively "new" name with different spelling, compared to older names. I guess I was just stating his spelling is different than some (Aiden, Aidan) but not like the newborn name I have come across (Eyen which is pronounced Ian) I have a very uniquely spelt name that no one can seem to pronounce if read or spell correctly if I tell them my name… Mika. I get it. :)

  • Some things:

    Bacon is gross

    I don't love nicknames. I want my kid to be called the name I give them. I also don't get when parents call a kid by their middle name? Just make it their first name if that's what you want them called.

    I do not follow any professional sports. I begrudgingly watch college football with H, but that's it.

    Apparently there are a lot of sandwich related jokes to be made? It's seriously disgusting. I fortunately don't have any tasteless friends sharing them, I just happened to see a thread full of them in a local FB group that was all strangers sharing them.

    OK, bacon is awesome.  :D And you comment about the name, YES! That was one of my unpopular opinions was this exactly, though I understand why some people do it but I just can't. Both my parents went by their middle name, a BF in school did too and she was always annoyed at the beginning of school correcting everyone. It stuck with me. Oh, and I love college football. :)

  • I think intentionally deviating from the original spelling of a name (unless it's an ethnic variation, like Pieter vs. Peter) is just a promotion for illiteracy.  You are in effect telling your child they do not need to spell anything correctly, because hey, you sure didn't!

    My oldest is named Peter. When we were filling out the birth certificate we were joking that we needed to stick a 'y' in there somewhere to make his name you-neek ;-)

    I've seen snarky on TB, and this my friend is not it.  And yeah, Eyen is mortifying. I recently came across a Gehovany (pronounced Giovanni).  Now that is unfortunate.

    Oh I know.. I hate talking names because I don't want to offend anyone… most sane people name a child a name for a reason but you have those few that you wonder about...

    I'm not a fan of regular words being used as names- Symphony, Harmony, Cadence, Steel, Talon, etc. are some examples off the top of my head.

    My UO - people should be given a common sense test before being allowed to have a child. I have an acquaintance that is TTC that has asked me no less than 4 times which prenatal vitamins I take and how many of them. She bought some really expensive ones from Whole Foods, didn't like them and didn't understand why it told her to take 3 a day. So I told her again that I take the VitaFusion gummies and take the recommended dosage that is on the bottle. She just texted me 30 mins ago to ask how many I take because she doesn't like that it says to take 2. They taste like gummy bears, just eat them. My husband sneaks them when I'm not looking because he likes how they taste. 


    Wait, you don't think this woman should have a child because she can't remember what type of prenatal vitamins you take? I must be missing something ...

    I think (and could be wrong) that the frustration comes from the lack of common sense to check her own bottle of prenatals for how much she should be taking. Instead the friend keeps comparing what she is taking to what the poster is and the quantity.

    I LOVED showers before having kids. Now all I think about is the time "wasted" doing my hair after I've washed it. I shower without washing my hair a lot. I only wash my hair every third day since having kids, and I was one of those people who HAD to get in the shower ASAP in the morning because I felt gross with greasy hair. Oh well.

    I don't have a baby (out of the womb) yet and I only wash my hair every 2-3 days... Couldn't imagine doing it more - plus I've been lazy throwing my hair in a pony tail everyday - no patience to straighten it unless I'm going to do something special.

  • If you like to shower take lots of them when your baby is tiny and napping all of the time or not mobile at all!!
    So enjoy your showers while you're not rushing, and only shaving... Never because that takes way too long! Haha

    It just gets harder to shower because even if you shower while the toddler is sleeping they some how always wake up while you're in there. If I sit on the couch and bump or watch tv the whole time she naps she sleeps for 2 hours.... Never fails.

  • I have never heard of that and my initial instinct was to vomit. However, if they made it with cinnamon toast crunch, maybe I would try it. But corn flake ice cream, I just can't.
    I know you can't have it right now, but when you're able to drink alcohol again 1 part of RumChata with 1 part of Fireball tastes just like the milk in Cinnamon Toast Crunch.



    There is a bar in the Luxor in Las Vegas that used to have a martini that tasted like the milk after you eat Fruit Loops - OMG, so dangerous! Without fail, I got one every time we went (almost 20 times in 3 years) and was heartbroken when they changed the menu and didn't carry the ingredients anymore! :'(
