New UO Thursday!

Let's hear 'em ladies!

kynbar5 · September 2015

I Just can not handle the "child leash" invention.

bntfroggie · September 2015

@kynbar5 my mom tried something like a child leash when we were little except it attached to your wrist and her wrist. She used it at Disney, but quickly gave up when my brother and I decided to see how many people we could capture in our leash. Ha ha the leash didn't last long ha ha.

Haha! My mom had one of those with my little sister. I just feel like these days everything is so backwards. People are carrying their little dogs around in baby slings (I've personally seen this) but their kid is on a leash. W. T. H?! Or the doggy strollers. Ugh.

skruhmin · September 2015

We got one for my first son on a monkey backpack. Didn't last too long because he loved to just sit down when we hooked him up.

2goofykids · September 2015

Lets see... I don't care for frappuccinos of any kind. Too sweet, not enough coffee d:

bntfroggie · September 2015

I don't like coffee at all. Let the shock begin, how do I survive.

Like this?

skruhmin · September 2015

Pretty much @bntfroggie. Needless to say we didn't use it too much after

And I want to know what you're going to do to cope with being a total mombie when newborn stage hits. Is it going to be one of those "I will never like coffee" eating crow moments?

I'm foreseeing you will be the biggest coffee drinker on this board come April

Well I made it through 6years of college with no coffee, but honestly I'm not sure. It's the taste of coffee I hate so I seriously doubt that will change.

PinkSunglasses16 · September 2015

I didn't like coffee either till about 5 yrs ago when i was introduced to caramel machiatto creamer, then the holiday creamers came out and i was a goner.

No coffee for me either! I hate the taste. Caffine yes. Coffee No!

red3ye · September 2015

I only like hot coffee when it's cold out. I survived new baby without coffee. But I admit, I love me some cappuccinos. Had a guy ask me once why I drink coffee at all in the winter when I add more sugar and creamer to it than actual coffee.

Parker16772 · September 2015

My UO is that I hate anything mint and especially chocolate with mint like those chocolate mints from olive garden or thin mint cookies. Yuk!

YES!!!! And coconut. Blech!!!

PinkSunglasses16 · September 2015

UO: skinny jeans, i just can't pull them off and i have found most people cant either. Stuffed sausage anyone?

And don't get me started on guys in skinny jeans gross!

Parker16772 · September 2015

Guys in skinny jeans..just no.

skruhmin · September 2015

Have you heard that skinny jeans are actually causing medical issues because they cut off so much circulation?

I've heard that and I can't say I'm surprised.

klgiles12 · September 2015

I'm personally a tea drinker myself so I understand the aversion to coffee... well I did until I broke down and had a cup to relieve my awful constipation... thanks for that tip hubby.... Still prefer tea. We'll see come March/April. :-)

spacemountaineer · September 2015

I'm not into football at all. The information I get about games results on my facebook feed is more than enough. I would much rather watch rugby (fast pace and much shorter).

@bntfroggie - I'm not a coffee drinker either.

@pinksunglasses16 - I can't pull skinny jeans off either. Even when I was a size 4 and 128 lbs. I couldn't.

SarahFoley725 · September 2015

Y'all crack me up. Well I think leashes are ridiculous! I feel like I could have used one for my drunk friends a few years ago though. I've also seen dogs in carriers and strollers etc. I love coffee...and mint...and coconut hahaha

If I had to pick an UO for myself it would be that I think Uggs are so ugly. I know they are supposed to be super comfortable but I just can't stand them. In college I was on the same bus route as the sorority houses and I would just cringe all winter long. My mom has a pair and it embarrasses me.

Swillah · September 2015

I hate soda. I don't like how it makes my teeth feel and the fact that coca cola will dissolve a tooth and they use it to clean blood up at crime scenes pretty much turns me off all together. Think of what it is doing to your insides.. yuck

blueeyedrose86 · September 2015

I also don't like coffee, but I LOVE the way it smells. Just can't handle the taste. Some days I feel like I could use a boost, but I just nap with DD those days.

I see one legitimate purpose for child leashes: for parents with special needs kids that like to run. I have a friend with an autistic child who bolts as soon as the door opens and doesn't look back. It's a scary situation.

ACleanLife24 · September 2015

DAMN IT PEOPLE now I want coffee but I shattered my cafeteria... (OK it got moldy I didnt want to wash it, so I told DH I broke it and actually broke it to hide that fact... so really its to me to blame... )

UO- I Dont get the need for all this "baby food"... blame it on being a FTM but I was fed milk and then bits and bobs from what my parents had.... likewise all my cousins... (maybe with less seasoning or a "specially" made selection of steamed carrots and diced chicken)..

Aren't babies just little people? shouldn't they eat people food?

FlipFlop1025 · September 2015

I'm not a fan of friends becoming reps for all the latest companies - Mary Kay, Jamberry, Rodan and Fields, Norwex, Avon, etc. These sales parties get stuck in our group of friends for months because everyone wants to host one to get the discounts. I normally end up getting suckered into buying something, I can't say no! I need to start leaving my credit card at home!

Ugh. My friend just started selling scentcy and it's an endless bombard of "so, we have this new scent, warmer, plug in, etc".

Ugh so someone sent me a FB message yesterday and I was like I haven't heard from this person in like 10 years, then I remembered she was doing some sort of wrap thing and I was like I'm going to ignore this message.

Baby food is gross. A lot of people i know do baby lead weaning where you forgo the purees and just feed the baby things they can eat while allowing them to lead.

skruhmin · September 2015

You forgot to mention BeachBody. So annoying!!!

Baby Led Weaning really is awesome!!

kynbar5 · September 2015

My mom and aunt sell Juice Plus. It has caused some very heated arguments. I'm just glad they stopped bringing it up to me! Drives me insane!

YES! I also hate that this seems like a problem exclusively for women. My husband's guy friends never say, "Hey, dude, I started selling Dudebro Junk Cleansing products. Do you want to host a party? You'll get 15% off your next Dudebro purchase. If I'm the top seller in my region I get a Dudebro flesh-colored Pontiac Solstice!"

Do you work in advertising?! This was awesome! Lmao

flowerpower5838 · September 2015

@skruhmin I will say that at least Beach Body is a legit avenue to health and wellness. I don't sell it nor do I know anyone that does, but I have some pirated copies of Power 90 (the wimpy version of P90X) and Insanity and I thoroughly enjoy them.

I can't say the same for their nasty shakes though. Tried someone's once and it was gross.

Eta - still super skeezy to try and make money off of your friends and fam though

And those who get healthy on it - great. But my Facebook is cluttered up with 50 posts a day of Shakeo selfies and people talking about how they love their shakeo, blah blah blah. I guess it's the new food selfie. It comes on as cult status and it's annoying. I block so many people because of it.
