UO Thursday 9/3

dubcompanion · November 2016

Time to share your unpopular opinions in our first UO of turkey month!

dubcompanion · November 2016

I don't like wearing scarves, even ones for fashion. As it is, I'm wearing a pullover hoodie, and I feel like it's going to strangle me.

Spartanrd4 · November 2016

@dubcompanion omg I love scarves- its my favorite accessory!

I really hate anything on my wrists- I don't wear bracelets, watches....I've become pretty minimalist as I've gotten older- I wear the same earrings every day, only wear my engagement ring/wedding ring- don't wear necklaces that much.

Finallyhismrs07 · November 2016

I honestly don't like the monthly siggy challenges. Half of the pictures end up huge and it is just one of those things that gets on my nerves while scrolling through posts. Don't hate me!

librarymom917 · November 2016

I can't stand Bruno Mars or Keith Urban's music.
Their songs just annoy me .

dubcompanion · November 2016

@Finallyhismrs07 Yeah, I try to scale down my siggy pictures for that reason.

@Spartanrd4 Bracelets irk me too. As does any ring that's not my engagement/wedding ring. I'll tolerate a necklace for a few hours. Oh, who am I kidding - I'm a plain Jane!

I really don't get the hype of unmediated births. I've had one. It wasn't fun. It hurt like hell. I didn't feel empowered after. I got an epidural the next time.

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

@librarymom917 yes to both! I also really don't like Brad Paisley's songs.

DrillSergeantCat · November 2016

I hate when people say Turkey Day instead of Thanksgiving.

@mcdonald-bailey I'm with you. If that's your thing, go for it, but as for me, gimme the drugs.

librarymom917 · November 2016

@Gators&BoSox there's maybe one or two Brad Paisley songs I kinda like, but I'm not a huge fan either.
George Strait, Garth Brooks, Miranda Lambert? I can listen to them all day.

KellyT22 · November 2016

@Finallyhismrs07 I was just coming here to say that! My computer makes some of the siggys (siggies?) huge! They're fun for a couple of days, then I get sick of them.

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

My UO is that I don't like yoga. I just don't think I'm a zen kind of person (that's a yoga thing right?) I have tried it twice and it's just too slow and weird to me. We laid down in the dark and people hummed..not my cup o tea.

DrillSergeantCat · November 2016

@kellyt22 & @Finallyhismrs07 if you go into your preferences on the signature settings tab, there's a button that says "Strip images from all signatures" or something like that. That will stop showing the pictures, but it also stops showing tickers too.

kap1988 · November 2016

I really don't give a crap about sports. To the point that when someone mentioned the World Series to me yesterday I had to struggle to remember which sport does that. I just find them all mind-numbingly boring. I'm sooo glad my husband doesn't care about them either.

That one hurt my heart. I love sports!

I'm with you @Spartanrd4. I'm not crazy about jewelry and rarely wear any except my wedding ring, so I accessorize with scarves so I feel a little more put together.

dubcompanion · November 2016

@kap1988 I never cared about sports, but my husband has slowly brainwashed me over the years - to the point I found myself crying over baseball last night!

Maybe I was just tired and hormonal - the top of the 9th inning had just ended, and I was positive the Cubs were going to lose. I was pissed we got so close only to lose, and also pissed that I'd be exhausted the next day AND sad.

Me and DH's reaction (albeit nicer):

kap1988 · November 2016

@dubcompanion I do love A League of Their Own!

dubcompanion · November 2016

@kap1988 It's a classic!!

RunBooRun · November 2016

I'm on the limited jewelry train. The only things I wear consistently are my wedding/engagement rings and my fitbit. I absolutely hate rings and bracelets. If I'm wearing ears or a necklace, that means I put in extra effort that day.

Took DH a while to realize that jewelry is a wasted gift on me. He bought me a few bracelets when we were dating and I really tried to wear them, but just couldn't after a few times. The only jewelry he's bought me since was a birthstone set that I actually wanted, but only wear occasionally because it was very nice and very expensive.

AandDM2014 · November 2016

I too am a no sports lady. On a scale of 1-10, my level of caring about sports is 0. Sorry, don't care that the Cubs won and whoever they were playing lost.

RunBooRun · November 2016

My level of sports caring is about a 1. I'll watch the world series if the Red Sox are in it and I like Superbowl commercials. Other than that, I don't really care. I do end up at ~1 Red Sox game a year, but I plan the game around what food I'm eating.

chrlyr · November 2016

I truly hate picking out names. I feel like I used the only boy name I actually really like on DS. Everything else is meh or terrible. I'm glad I don't have to name a girl. There's a very fine line between cute/trendy and trashy.

Spartanrd4 · November 2016

I love sports when its my home team- but I'm not bandwagon and become fans of other teams just because they are in the championship game....if my team isn't playing, I could care less. Even the Superbowl (my city's football team sucks and will probably never be in the Superbowl)- I only really watch for the commercials because I don't care who wins because I'm not that invested.

Same here. I have to have team loyalty to endure watching/caring about a game.

This is me. Baby is still unnamed. We can't agree on a name so guess I'll see at birth.

UO: I don't get the love of frozen yogurt. Where I live there are tons of frozen yogurt places popping up, specifically My FroYo chains, and I don't see what's so great about it. Plus it's expensive as hell when you consider that you have to weigh the yogurt and toppings. It tastes like watered down ice cream to me. Gross. Give me my cookies and cream ice cream please and thanks.

They were popping up every other week here and they lasted about a year and now they're pretty few and far between. I like them because it's healthier and you can get a bunch of different toppings.

peony2418 · November 2016

I like to convince myself that I'm eating healthier with FroYo instead of ice-cream, but I think the piles of M&Ms, Reeses, Snickers, Gummy Bears, and Cookie Dough I put on would probably negate my theory. LOL.

disneybaby84 · November 2016

@peony2418 those are the best things to put on ice cream

jenny0228 · November 2016

@Gators&BoSox I'm with you on yoga. I want to like it. I want to be a person who can relax and stretch and breathe. I know that it builds tons of strength and can be an amazing workout. But I really can't get into it! I don't like other people's bare feet - that is one weird pet peeve I have. Other people's toes so close to me..... just, no thanks. So already yoga has a strike against it for me. But I've tried it and I just don't get it. It's not for me.

AandDM2014 · November 2016

@chrlyr Imagine having to pick out three! Well six if you count middle names too. I'm having such a hard time that these babes may be unnamed for their first few days of life.

Oh man, that thought didn't even occur to me! We're struggling to pick out a name for one babe, but our BMB has so many multiple mamas! I'm sure y'all will come up with some amazing names for those sweet babies!

For some reason I think it would be easier for me! I could be less indecisive and pick ALL of my favorites ; ) ...this is obviously just me dreaming about what it would be like. I'm sure in reality it's overwhelming. Can't wait to hear what you pick!!

AandDM2014 · November 2016

@Foersty Yup, it's a struggle!

@kjd291 Yes, that should make it easier, but I'm having a hard time finding any that I like that I feel relate to the babies even a little. I've picked one I like, but when I told DH he said "maybe...". So not helpful!

mtmama2 · November 2016

UO: I get disproportionally rage-y if I'm driving on the highway and I pass a vehicle in the right lane. There are literally signs on the road saying "slower traffic keep right"! I don't even care if people want to drive 15mph under the speed limit, but do it in the right lane!!

I agree with @dubcompanion and @Spartanrd4 about sports, I have to have team loyalty to enjoy watching it! Our know someone playing on the team

Windows 10 is the bane of my existence. Every time my computer updates something else crashes. I want to go back to simpler times.

serenity13 · November 2016

I've also become a very minimal accessory person - even on my wedding day I only wore my favorite pair of earrings that I wear just about every day, besides my wedding/engagement rings. I used to wear bracelets, necklaces, a watch, multiple earrings (4 in one ear, 3 in the other, but only ever wear 1 in each ear now) & a belly button ring that I took out for the last time about a year ago.
UO: I feel like 30 is probably the maximum age girls can get away with wearing non-ear piercings.
I feel bad for all the jewelry I've accumulated over the years (mostly fashion jewelry, not real stuff) that just sits in boxes probably never to be worn - at least by me - again. I do love my scarves though!!
And I'm with many of you in the not-interested-in-sports category. DH is obsesseddddd with sports and every. single. day our tv is on whatever game(s) are happening - football, basketball, hockey, soccer, baseball...college, professional, international...doesn't matter - he loves them all and I'm totally ok with that being his thing & he's ok with me not sharing his passion.

We had to have a computer fixed in my department at the hospital I work at and the IT guy said that he has a job simply because Windows sucks.

Agreed! I freaking HATE it! My IT guy refuses to put it on any of our work computers thank goodness!!!
