Add me to the list of people with a Grandmom that says "warsh." We're from Philly, I have no clue where she got it from. She also says "wan," as in: "I wan at Bingo last week!"

@labby18 I too am not a fan of milk... and my dad is also from Pittsburgh so I definitely know that weird "melk" pronunciation you speak of.
Yeah and I was raised in VA and my mom is from a different country. I have a pretty effed up vernacular. I also was in speech therapy for like 7 years...hence why my accent(s) isn't as bad as it could be. But I'm so glad I don't say "warsh" lol
Ahhh my grandmother says "warsh" she was raised in rural Virginia. Is this how they say it there? It's awful. And "warshington"
If she's from the northwestern part of the state yes. I'm from the coast. I think "warsh" is an Appalachian vernacular. My fam in Pittsburgh say "warsh" and "melk" just YouTube Pittsburgh Dad and he sounds just like my Uncle.
The food related blasphemy in here is appalling... good thing I like you all. Mine is also semi-food related.
I am SOOOOOO sick of the health crisis posts about the stupid Starbucks drink. Like yes, it has a lot of sugar. So do most smoothies, soda, etc. Like get over yourself if you're going to go around spamming pictures of its nutrition facts. Major eye roll.
I'm also in the I-hate-when-people-call-pets-their-children camp. Throw tomatoes at me, but boy does it annoy me. A girl at work is due in a few weeks, and is still going around saying she still doesn't know if she'll love her baby as much as she loves her cats... probably the biggest eye roll of my life.
Definitely agree with the jumpsuits, and rompers are hit or miss. I've yet to try on one that flatters me. Just out of curiosity for those in the all spaghetti straps are undershirts camp- what do you feel about strapless tops/dresses? I'm totally in agreement that camis should be worn under a shirt or cardigan but the spaghetti strap tanks that are made to be worn alone don't really compare to a sports bra (in my possibly unpopular opinion..)

Hahahahahahaha! My dog went from being my "baby" to being the most annoying thing on the planet/one more thing I have to take care of during the day after my son was born! Sometimes I feel bad about it but usually I'm like meh. She's a dog.

Ugh yes, if you don't want to consume 70-something grams of sugar, don't. But don't stop me from enjoying my sugar high. I was majorly upset when I realized all 7 McDonalds in my town had stopped serving the Shamrock shake because of "too much dye."
I had taken to referring to my dogs as my babies. This was absolutely because I was depressed and thought I would never have children. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm working very hard to make sure I always call them dogs or puppies. I also don't like calling them brother or sister like they are equal to the children.

Can't get on board with the food UOs. Totally agree with the pets thing though!
UO: I find those one piece jumpsuit things totally ugly and unflattering. I have yet to see one on a real person that looks good.
Lol, well I think I look really great in rompers i have two and they are very flattering in pictures. I love them and wore them all the time last summer. Gap and Jcrew made some cute ones.

My sister, who doesn't have any kids and doesn't intend to (by choice), absolutely thinks her two dogs are equivalent to other people's children and it is SO annoying. When my other sister will say something about my nephew, she feels the need to reply with something that she thinks is a corresponding comment related to one of her dogs. No, your dogs are not the same as children.
I think the pets being = to real babies thing is not worth the argument. Its one of those things you will never convince someone of. Once the human babies arrive they will understand but before? NEWP.
