UO Thursday

sLass42 · May 2016

Loving Thankful Thursday, but I'm a creature of habit so went out on a limb and started this one.
What's your unpopular opinion today?

MollyandD · May 2016

I hate the movie "A Walk to Remember." I love chick flicks, and I wanted to like it, but I've always hated it.

Another one one is that I have an obsession with vinegar, which my husband hates. I use apple cider vinegar to clean, and I rub some with a cotton ball on my face before I moisturize. I will put white or balsamic vinegar on pasta. Even now, I have some salt and vinegar almonds on my desk at work. If I feel sick, I drink a shot of apple cider vinegar or pickle juice to kill whatever bug I have picked up. (Works like a charm.)

housewifehobbyist · May 2016

My UO is that I'm hating the 70s/90's inspired spring fashion this year. Everything is all loose and flowing and meant to be worn without a bra and I am a grown ass woman with grown ass titties and I need a bra! On the bright side my checking account is probably better off for it.

AMEN! I feel like this whole "braless" fashion has been going on for way too long now! Where are my D's supposed to go for support?! LAWD!

Edit: Spelling... so easy to make yet so embarrassing

kiki75 · May 2016

If loving salt is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
interesting salt

sLass42 · May 2016

Finally though of a uo for today, and the thread wasn't up yet!

My simple yet controversial UO...I hate oreos.
If I eat them it's only the middle and I give the cookies to DH..

Lecool · May 2016

@sLass42 Great minds must think alike, because I was totally going to say that my UO is that Oreos are gross.

*internet five!*

Also, @housewifehobbyist while I'm not a fan of the 70s/90s fashion, as a member of the itty bitty titty committee, I'm stoked about the small-boob fashion! *Buys ALL the bralettes!*

sLass42 · May 2016

@mollyandD I also love vinegar!! I put it on salad, pasta, steak, etc. Apple cider vinegar is my go to, but I'll use white vinegar on food too.
@housewifehobbyist the flowy stuff doesn't do it for me. If I end up with the new style I'll just find some cheap camis to wear underneath. I feel too old to have my stomach hanging out there and braless lol
@Lecool ha, oreo hating twins!

mtmama2 · May 2016

@MollyandD I have never ever heard of anyone not liking that movie! I always skip the end of it when I watch it because it makes me cry.

@housewifehobbyist I agree with you x1000000 I was shopping the other day and the employee helping me said "that would look so cute with this bralette, you should try it on" so she hands it under the door and I'm like Where the hell is the rest of it?! Have you seen my DDs?

@sLass42 Oreos are the worst. I also hate fortune "cookies"! Those are not cookies, they are tasteless wafers in a weird shape. I always open them for the fortune and then give the fake cookie to DH

My UO is that I don't like it when people take a pretty common name and spell it in a weird way when they name their kids. I know it is a very trendy thing to do right now but when I see names like "Raychel" (just an example!) it just makes me

varimama · May 2016

Omg I totally agree with @housewifehobbyist I keep getting emails from Victoria secret on their bralettes and I'm like no way am I going to find enough support in those! I know many people with small boobs want big ones but honestly sometimes I'm jealous and would like to not need a bra always or not have to double up on sports bras for intense exercise... Don't get me wrong I like how I am (and so does DH) but sometimes I feel like it'd be nice.

MrsDramaK · May 2016

I hate Beyonce. Sorry I just don't get the appeal. The woman power/feminist thing doesn't really seem to actually be about woman power/feminism. I don't really like her music, I don't like how she dresses, and she sort of comes off as a snob (granted I've never met her in person so this is just based on public appearances.)

@SienaC I hate fortune cookies, there the worst. Also while I'm not into the classic oreos I like the thin ones dipped in chocolate.

thj101 · May 2016

@housewifehobbyist I'm loving the 90's fashion... probably a little too much.. On Saturday, I wore white jeans, a black t shirt, an unbuttoned chambray shirt and white converse, and DH said, you look like a 90's ad for the gap. LOL. But dang it, it's comfy! and easy... I don't have to think!

My UO is I don't like craft beer. I can't get behind the movement. I've tried several.. hated them all.

NamelessAria · May 2016

My UO is that I think we may have been a bit too mean to some of the newbies lately. Don't vote me off the island!

My other UO is that I don't think I should have to tell my SIL happy mother's day. I also don't think I should have to tell my brother happy father's day. I have no problem telling my parents/grandparents happy mother's/father's day but siblings? It's just so weird to me and I refuse to do it. I get total side-eye from my family over this but sorry, not sorry. To be fair, if/when I have a baby I don't expect/want my brothers/SILs to tell me happy mother's day. So I'm not having a double standard here at least.

@thj101 This breaks my heart! I love craft beer so much! In fact we are going to a brew fest this weekend and I am soo excited!!

ETA: @NamelessAria I agree with you about the family member "Happy Mother's Day" thing. I say it to my mom and MIL but that's it. It feels weird to say it to sibling and even friends sometimes.

Lecool · May 2016

@MrsDramaK and @mylove071407 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

katesmama0706 · May 2016

@sLass42 ugh oreos. I love the vanilla cookies with the lemon filling ones and that is it. The regular ones? No thanks.
@SienaC I hate the unique spellings and DH's family is full of them. Just stahhhhhp.
@MrsDramaK @mylove071407 I was literally just talking to someone about this today. Beyonce is a brat. I hate her and haven't liked her music in a long time.

My UO today, Facebook/Instagram mentions of any oil/makeup/supplement/product you are taking or selling gets you an automatic delete.

mtmama2 · May 2016

@Lecool that video is absolutely hilarious!

@katesmama0706 I was just talking about this the other day! I HATE it!

kiki75 · May 2016

@SienaC and @MrsDramaK Clearly you've just been eating the wrong fortune cookies! One place we get teriyaki they're total crap (I won't even bother with them) and some of the other ones (LaChoy!) are crap but there's a grocery store here that sells a big bucket of the best ones. I could eat alllllll of them. If H didn't love them and try to eat all of them himself.

They're like crack. But luckily eating them is a production and each one is fairly low-calorie so I can't do too much damage.

@NamelessAria Yeah, I think that the 'insert yourself into an A-B holiday' movement is all the doing of the card companies. Mother's Day? That's for your own mom/MIL and grandma. Not your sister in law. She's not your mom. Nope. I also don't get the thing where you're apparently supposed to wish other people happy anniversary and send cards and stuff to that, too. Unless it's a milestone year, that's a celebration that's just between those two people.

Aurora1973 · May 2016

You guys talking holidays has me thinking about my UO. Well, birthdays aren't exactly holidays, but my UO is that once there are lots of kids in an extended family, birthdays for adults become somewhat unimportant. I mean, of course a card is appropriate, or at least a phone call. But unless it's some sort of milestone, with parents, two sisters, two brothers-in-law, my OH and his family, plus four nieces, a nephew, and a stepson...and obviously more to come...it becomes cumbersome and expensive to buy gifts and/or throw parties for everyone. The exception is for milestones, although both my sister and I have had our 40th in the past couple of years, and no one, least of all us, made a big deal out of it. And that's they way I like it, to be truthful.

But my youngest sister demands tons of attention for everything, and her birthday is no exception. She cannot just take a hint from the rest of us. I love her, but geez.

ETA: succinctly, birthdays, like Trix, are (mostly) for kids.

katesmama0706 · May 2016

@Aurora1973 I'm about to clutter up the page but I've gotta ask! I haven't seen OH a ton, whats the acronym? Google failed me!
I'm with you on milestone birthdays only! My husband's family wants to have a birthday party monthly for anyone who's birthday falls in said month. Yeah, no thanks! I'm not buying 30+ gifts a year for birthdays I don't care about!

linzrunz · May 2016

@Aurora1973 My SIL is that way too and she is 28. I mean, I don't mind an acknowledgement of the birthday like a family dinner on or around your birthday (basically an excuse to eat cake), but she builds it up all month and expects presents every year). Her's is at the end of October and mine is four days later. Then three days after mine is my MIL's. So, even though I don't want a big deal to made of it, I want SOMETHING done. Mine usually gets skipped over with a big deal made out of SIL's and MIL's birthdays. I'm pretty sure last year my MIL gave DH my card to give to me. She couldn't even bring it over to me herself...I live literally 30 seconds away from her....maybe a whole minute if you have to stop and wait for a car at the stop sign.

whiska · May 2016

Sounds like the youngest @Aurora1973 !! (Coming from the baby, lol). It feels like my siblings and I have grown out of our birthdays (ages 41, 38, and 31) so that we just celebrate my nieces' and nephews' now. And I've grown to be okay with that. We call on the day to show we remembered and care. For me, DH and I go out to a nice dinner and I buy something a little extra special like boots or a purse. That's it.

But we actually all make sure to get together for my mom's birthday (in her 60s now). So I guess there's some polarity there - the youngest and the oldest get more love.

My UO, related to other posts today and maybe not unpopular but less shared, is that I don't associate myself with Mother's Day at all. Like, the fact that I'm TTC and thought maybe I'd have a baby by now doesn't even register as related to Mother's Day. Maybe I don't consider myself a potential mother because it seems so far away? Maybe I've disengaged from that dream a bit to protect myself? I don't know but I'm sorry for everyone struggling this weekend, or who gets blindsided by unwanted advice or comments. You'll be in my thoughts.

I don't know why, but ETA - rereading "struggling" in my post sounds really negative and like we're failing to cope with something. We're not. We're strong and I believe that we're each strong enough to handle whatever unwanted fears, sadness, anger, envy, or anxiety that crops up.

No problem! We don't have to replace this thread (I love it) nor do we have to do Thankful Thursday every week.

MollyandD A Walk to Remember is one of my favorite movies!

sLass42 @Lecool @SienaC @katesmama0706

Yay for being cool and loving Oreos @mylove071407

I make a mean Oreo cake!

My OU is I hate coffee. Please don't vote me off the island.

RatParade · May 2016

I love oreos and fortune cookies and peeps and cadbury eggs and candy corn and cake and pie and sugar in any form I can get it.

ETA: @katesmama0706 It stands for Other Half

katesmama0706 · May 2016

@RatParade THANK YOU! I was trying to make the H for husband and kept coming back to "other husband" and was like "ummm brother husbands? sister wives? what?"

pretzel2plus1 · May 2016

@Lecool I'll join you on the itty bitty titty committee (barely an A cup) and say that I'm loving the current fashion!! The only exception is the crop tops; I don't feel the need to show my stomach, but the flowy-er the better! Sorry, @housewifehobbyist and @Schumerator, I hope this trend is here to stay.

I realized today that I hardly ever have my own UO or MBF or WTF or anything, and I pretty much just piggy-back on others' comments. Maybe that's my UO? Is it totally obnoxious?

Lecool · May 2016

@pretzel2plus1 I bought my first crop top a few weeks ago. I thought I would hate it, but I don't. I still only wear it when I'm feeling really, really brave though.
...And I also let my UOs & MBFs be inspired by other people's comments!

HopingForOneAgain · May 2016

No no NO people! No grown woman can go without a bra! I am basically an A cup and even I can't get away with it! Just nooooooooooooooooo!

@sLass my son does that...he eats the middle of the oreo only...then puts the cookie part back in the bag. It's...gross....

My UO is that I think beer and sushi are both disgusting, and I am convinced that no one ACTUALLY likes either - they just made themselves get used to the taste. Mmm hmmm.

katiegeminimoon · May 2016

My UO is that I dislike a lot of things people really love: beer, wine (I know, I know), pickles, cherries, mustard, coffee. I want to like some of these things but just can't!

katesmama0706 · May 2016

@ktcakes87 I hate all those things. They're awful

SnobunnieMel · May 2016

@sLass42 that meme is the dream. I only eat the Oreo insides.

I hate coffee and beer too. They taste bad.

Lecool · May 2016

I do not understand you coffee haters.

katiegeminimoon · May 2016

@katesmama0706 that's crazy! I've never met anyone who dislikes all those things too!

@Lecool I try to like coffee, I just can't. I want to though!

MrsDramaK · May 2016

I'm with @TheJerilu I could have understood the beer hate, there are so many varieties of beer it can take a long time to find one you like or even tolerate, personally I can't stand Miller or Bud Light or any of those other cheap canned beers, but sushi? Sushi is amazing, nothing compares to fresh good quality sushi.

Also coffee is a warm delicious slice of caffeinated heaven.

HopingForOneAgain · May 2016

Seaweed on sushi = smells like a lake. Plus every kind I have tasted reminds me of wet cardboard (with the aforementioned Lake smell). Bleh.

@mrsdramak WAIT I DIDN'T SEE THE COFFEE HATERS

That's like three of my four major food groups. Only pizza is still sacred.

BigBadWolf12 · May 2016

@SienaC did you read the book "A Walk to Remember"??

The ending is left open ended so you can read it as in she lives OR as in she dies...either way!
