OK, here's mine: sometimes I miss watching commercials. I feel like I'm missing out on things, and my hubby always has the remote, so I can't even take over. Because of this I never see movie trailers. (This would probably be a bigger deal if I ever saw movies, but it does still annoy me.)
One huge difference I noticed when I moved to the States is the amount of commercials on TV!! It's nuts! I wish I could send you some of the commercials I watch, that would seem like a good deal

We have a ROKU TV and open air channels. We only watch morning and evening news and the rest of the time Netflix. So for the most part I never know whats new in retail or movies. We don't ever go see movies in theater anyways (embarassing but the last movie I saw in theater was War Horse, I think) but it's terrible I can't even chat about upcoming movies with other people.

I don't like my sweet potatoes/yams with marshmallows for TG dinner. I'd much rather have a plain sweet potato with butter, salt, pepper and maybe some sour cream.
Nooooooo!! I love sweet potatoes with the marshmallows! And sweet potato pie...omg...I could sit down right now with a whole sweet potato pie and a fork and murder it. I'm not proud of that.
My husband LOVES sweet potato pie so I do make him 2 of those on the holidays

My UO... I cannot stand the term "baby daddy"! It seems like everyone these days refers to the child's father, boyfriend, husband, etc as baby daddy. Grrr, it irks me so much!
My UO is--- I hate when I see people on the baby name board stressing out and creating polls about what to name their kid.... When they are not even pregnant. Like "we need a boy name because we are going to start TTC soon" .... How about just see if you get pregnant, see if it's a boy (if you plan on finding out), THEN put time and energy into the name.

I think that people who are TTC and on the bump are likely having a difficult time. I didn't join until after I was pregnant, but it also only took us one cycle this time. I imagine that if you're having a hard time and you really want a baby, picking a name is something you can control. You can't make yourself conceive that month, but you can pick a name to take your mind off of it and give you something positive to look forward to. I don't spend any time on the name boards because I honestly do not care to help a stranger name their kid. There's just no telling why they are there. Maybe we are going to start TTC actually means we've been trying for months and I don't want to admit that. Just my two cents.

Good point. But if they don't want to admit they've been trying for months, they could just avoid even mentioning that they aren't pregnant and let us assume they are.
It's just strange to me when they act like there is some urgency in choosing a name when they have tons of time to toss ideas around.

Are you serious right now? Does it really bother you? Like, does it actually matter if they're pregnant or not? It's strange to me how insensitive you sound. If it's not physically hurting you then who cares what their "urgency" is on picking a name? Edit grammar because it matters.

I have to totally agree @kynbar5 Seriously, why would anyone have to avoid mentioning they're not pregnant just to avoid offending you in some very very strange way..?

Serious? Not really- I don't actually get upset about it, and sometimes might throw in my opinion on their names like I might for anyone else. Just an observation I've made and thought this thread was to vent opinions that might be unpopular (which mine apparently is!)
I guess I've just never been the type to plan names way ahead like that, but if it really is a way to cope with the difficulty TTC, I do have compassion for them.
I know it's Friday but apparently I have an UO from Baby Showers Board. Someone asked if registering for an iPad was tacky and the general consensus was, yes it is. But I had to disagree. The only way I would find it tacky was if there weren't other items on the registry in an affordable range. Like, a registry with just an iPad or just a few other items would be tacky because it seems like you just put a bunch unaffordable items on there hoping for cash. However a registry with an iPad and a whole range of items in different price ranges wouldn't seem tacky to me. People would have choices then.
(I think she was saying the iPad would double as a camera to take photos of the baby and when the baby gets older, he/she could be entertained by it on car rides and stuff.)
