  • @mrsstuessy I have to agree. I love my kitty more than anything and I treat her like my baby...but I hate the word furbaby too. No real reason why...I just do.

  • My UO is I kind of hate this thread. UO is pointless to me. All the things here can be said on FFFC...
    Thursdays are always the most boring to me on this site...

  • @PepperAT  I hate that too.  I am generally a happy person but that question makes me feel like I always have to be smiling which is ridiculous.  I'm allowed to not have a smile on my face.

    Most of the time salad is just "eh" to me. I'll eat it if it's served or comes with a meal I order but I never go out of may way to eat it. With one exception. I make a delicious black bean salad. It has tons of nutritional value, plus it's VERY filling. But I am obsessed with black beans, so any excuse to eat them...

    Black beans are my jammmmm.  If you're talking a black bean salad where black beans act as the base, I totally agree.  I just think the lettuce + misc + croutons type of salad is highly overrated.

  • I guess my UO is that I don't get the warm and fuzzies about TTC.  Like I don't have a secret Pinterest board with baby stuff, I don't have a cutesy way I plan on telling DH if I end up pregnant or any fun ways to let people know on facebook.  I find most announcements played out and cheesy.  I don't get excited about gender reveal parties. Maybe I am just the scrooge of TTC:(
    @HurricaneAmelia
    Announcements are fine by me (we'll probably do one because we're so far removed geologically from our friends and family, so otherwise they wouldn't know), but gender reveal parties make me roll my eyes so damn hard.

  • PepperAT  right? and of course, it's only ever women who get told to smile, or asked why they're NOT smiling. have you ever heard of anybody asking a man that?? i sure haven't. 

    TheJerilu  i'm with you on the gender reveal parties. they're just so....self involved.

  • @babymish I know! I laughed at myself. I did it out of obligation... haha. I just think we should replace the Thursday thing. But it still needed to be up for today... ha. 

    @TheJerilu - My salad still has the lettuce in it, but not much. Mostly I add it for the color and as a bit of a filler. But it's all black bean, for the most part. Black beans, corn, chipotle dressing, tortilla crisps instead of stupid croutons. Yummmmy. I would literally choose it as my last meal.

  •  @sammajane19  Yeah, never thought of that! 
    But that reminded me of a time I was walking down the sidewalk and I had a guy say to me "you would be so much prettier if you were smiling"  Oh really!? Thanks jackass! I will keep that in mind for next time I'm walking all alone!

  • @PaukMeKiande I agree with you there, if you're coming on a site called the bump to talk about TTC you need to expect to see people
    mention BFP's, children, other people's pregnancies. The only time I really find them necessary is for mentions of domestic violence or abuse etc, the kinds of things where you're llikely not prepared to stumble on them talking about TTC

  • My UO is that I hate it when people use their social media profiles to try to sell me stuff or push their opinions.  I'm just trying to snoop on your life and your vacation photos I don't want to buy your damn weight loss products or read your political rants!  I doubt that anyone has ever changed their opinion about a controversial topic just because they saw a well written rant on FB about it...

  • @mrsstuessy  ugh. Furbaby. Gag.
    @PaukMeKiande I'm with you. When I was on the TTC before DD there was no such thing as TW. I was so confused by what it was when I came back. 

    My UO? I really hate Benedict Cumberbatch. Everyone I talk to is like "OMG HE IS SO SEXY" and I think he's super ugly and creepy. 

  • For those of you who don't like Gender Reveals...my Mom has requested one if I do get pregnant this time around.  If I just do it with my immediate family members who actually care, is that less obnoxious?  So basically not really a party...just like, a cake with coloured icing...nevermind, now I sound boring as heck.

    My UO is that I don't trust people who don't like animals.  I am not talking about people who are indifferent or "just not pet people", but people who actually dislike all animals freak me out.  I think there must be something wrong with them.

  • Oh one more....I was an bump member in the past when things were different and I actually don't like how there are almost no personal posts anymore *ducks under desk*  I liked when people could ask whatever question (within reason - the "am I pregnant" ones were of course obnoxious) even if it meant some repetition.

    @HopingForOneAgain DH comes from a super huge family so even though I was anti-gender-reveal we did one for just close family. It felt less creepy and gift grabby that way. Just my feelings on it. 

    @DoctorDonna sorry girl! ;) the good news is we won't have to fight for his affections! He's all yours! 

    ETA: spelling
  • But Benedict Cumberbatch has the coolest name ever.  I don't care how creepy he is :P

    I am prone to agree with that as well.  The Bump was very different in 2008-2009 in that you could post individual questions which got repetitious at times but it was cool and expected.  The drive bys were never cool and some got really ugly.

  • yeah, we also did a gender reveal with our immediate families. They did truly care and were excited to know so it was fun. I also don't get trigger warnings. But I have never had a loss or been through IF, so I don't feel like I get a say.

  • Also, @KristoB , I agree that UO Thursday and FFFC do have a lot of potential for overlap, but I love reading the UOs! I was thinking that I good way to make both two distinct topics is that UO Thursday should be things that people think while FFFC could be reserved for confessions about things people have actually done.
  • @CoonMom  I love that idea.

  • My UO is people who ask others their opinion on their "baby names"  I was bored and started lurking on the baby name board!  People are so concerned that everything is too trendy, too overused, too this or too that.   This is your kid's name!  Who cares if people thinks it's too trendy!  You're the one that has to call the child by that name for the remainder of a lifetime!  If you like it, name your kid that and forget about the rest of the world!

    Just a thought. ..We could do a thankful Thursday. 
    I started a Woot Wednesday for stuff like that about 2 months ago and it wasn't terribly popular. So a Thankful Thursday probably wouldn't be either
