    I think GoFundMe is the worst thing ever. It may have started with good intentions, but I have seen way too many fund our first home, honeymoon, vacation, and tuition accounts.


    I'm with you. I'm surprised how many people start GoFundMe campaigns for themselves, too.  I know it's a very convenient way to spread the word and to get people to donate, but I hate the 8% fee.  I think the old-fashioned way of sending a check to a benefit account is most beneficial for recipient.  Just think if $15,000 was raised for a family with medical issues... that's $1,200 they're missing out on!

    Ok, this was brought up on my last BMB and I have to say I have been thinking about it for over 2 years now!

    I can't wrap my head around the concept of dinosaurs. I believe that they existed and that real fossils have been found. I believe that the world was created in the Big Bang billions or trillions of years ago. I am on board with the changes in climate and vegetation. But what gets me is that there were these reptiles who had all these incredible adaptations and features that died out, but now many of those same adaptations and features can be seen in all types of animals today from birds to fish to mammals. For some reason, it weirds me out that we can even make comparisons to modern day animals. I know I probably sound really dumb, but this is something that always bugged me about dinosaurs.

    I think the push for college for everyone is over-done. I believe in every student being held to a "college ready" standard so that if they choose to go into a profession that requires a degree, they'll be prepared, but I think it's ridiculous to expect everyone to go and to look down on those who choose a different path.  (This might not be universally unpopular, but as a high school teacher I've met resistance here: "Of course they should ALL go to college!" ) [-(
    I am also a teacher and completely agree. I think kids need more opportunities to explore careers and trades in high school as well. I know many people that became successful mechanics, carpenters, electricians, etc due to a school with a great program, but most of these have been cut due to funding or be fact all kids are supposed to go to college. Let's teach our kids how to think and live in the real world instead.
    I cannot agree with this more! MH was pushed into college and ended up majoring in technical theater because it was the only bachelor's degree where he could use his skills of carpentry and electrical work. Would he have rather been a contractor, electrician or carpenter? Hell yeah! But instead he has this dumb bachelor's degree that he can't use to get a job, but because he has a college degree, no  construction company wants to hire him because he is over qualified. Not cool.

    @concreteayngel This is more of a FFFC but I LOVE Taylor swift and Ed Sheeran! With that said, they are definitely my guilty pleasure music. I even surprise myself with how much I like them. They're songs are just so damn catchy! DH makes fun of me because I actually bought the Taylor Swift album because it wasn't on spotify :\">

    I am kinda tired of all the Pope coverage. I live in NYC and that's ALL we have been hearing on the news. I get it. The Pope is here. Roads are closed. Use public transportation. Blah blah blah...

    @yogahh I work (and this weekend I live) in Philadelphia and have to stay at the hospital from 7pm tomorrow night until noon on Monday!!! I'm not on call and only have to be in the hospital during my 12 hour shifts but who wants to be trapped at work for 4 days!!! I wanna go home and sleep in my bed, cuddle my fur babies and not shower in a shower trailer while sleeping in an empty exam room. I am a faithful catholic but sorry Francis....you're really cramping my style.

    So, maybe I misunderstand people sometimes, but it seems like some women only have sex with their SO to conceive. I've heard things like, "last month we only had sex on the day I ovulated so I know that's when we conceived!"

    This is so weird to me. Sex is fun. We do it all the time. I have no idea when we conceived, because it could have been any of, oh, I dunno, all the days? 

    And I imagine that sex is completely awkward. "Hey honey I'm just going to lay here and read a baby book while you deposit your sperm in me". 

    I get if someone can't for medical reasons, but otherwise people should be getting naked and having fun! 
    Couldn't agree more with this!

    @TheThornBird I partially agree with you...but I know/know from TB plenty of couples who have lower sex drive and it works for them. I'm sure it's a bigger issue when the people in the relationship differ in their desire. Definitely hear you when it's talked about in certain ways though, like depriving of sex because they think it helps to conceive to "save sperm" *face palm*

    I think Channing Tatum is super overrated. He's not THAT gorgeous (not saying he's not good looking, mind you) and his acting is just meh. I have not seen the Magic Mike movies and have no interest in seeing them.

    mlangblom  I'm one of those lol I feel weird saying I'm pregnant and not we're pregnant.  I feel when I say I'm pregnant I feel like it's being selfish because it is his child too.  Then again I understand what you are saying too.  It's one of those weird things lol


    I am so over the political crap that is going on right now.  I'm sick of the circus show they are putting on.  Dr. Carson is coming here to speak next week and there are people already organizing protests.

    I don't understand why everyone is so gaga over the pope.  The pope is NOT God.    I'm not Catholic.  In my opinion, the pope is nothing more than an over glorified preacher.   Hasn't anyone read the ten commandments?  Thou shalt not worship idols!  The way people go gaga over him, it is almost like he has become one of those idols we are not supposed to worship.   Hey you asked for unpopular opinions.
