This season of Big Brother sucked. They were all terrible people except for Kevin and I'm glad with who won last night. The other person didn't deserve it. All of the jury members deserved to be there considering they were all stupid sheep.
I love that show so much. I hated seeing all of the bullying and personal attacks. It was awful.

gildah · September 2017

Ok, you all are going to hate me, but here goes.....I hate being asked to bring food to parties unless it's a potluck. I don't mind if the hostess calls me and asks me privately (i.e. I'm super overwhelmed is there anyway you could bring that artichoke dip you make?) But I hate getting an evite to celebrate something and then being required to bring a dish. I got an invitation to a baptism the other day and they asked for side dishes. I'm like, wait a minute, are you tellling me I have to go to an hour long Mass, then a baptism, bring your baby a gift, AND keep a side dish at a safe temperature in my
car? Grrrrrr

Shima42 · September 2017

I hate 'reality' television. I think it's boring and craven.

Fish is the most disgusting and repulsive food known to human kind. *barf*

This. And lobsters, crab, and pretty much all shellfish are just bugs. They are literally bugs of the ocean. Six or eight legs, exoskeletons, pincers, antennae, etc. They are bugs and therefore disgusting.

I agree that this season sucked but disagree with you on the winner. The
options both sucked but if you look at game play I'd have gone the other way. But in reality all the options sucked.

cups4 · September 2017

@sparkymcgeee this season SUCKED. I am so happy they all watched themselves fawn all over Paul. I love the winner and I was wanting him to win. The loser played the best game, but with those bunch of morons I can't give him too much credit. I also feel like they couldn't award the best player the win as a lot of bitter millenials who all thought they were they greatest. Kevin should have won Fan Favorite, and I am upset about that.

yesthisiskim0401 · September 2017

I think Elana of Avalor needs to hook up with her body guard. I totally "ship" that.

Alright, you and I are about to go down. The person who won DID NOT DESERVE IT. The only two people who actually played any sort of game was Paul and Cody. (And, what a sore loser cody is. You can be pissed it didn't go the way you wanted, but then don't act like you are too good for the game.)

I feel the jury was just bitter.

cups4 · September 2017

I can't stand when people tell me DS is "all boy." It's mostly when he is running around playing. I didn't realize toddler girls sit still and don't run. I correct my parents when they say it, but I haven't with my ILs. They have asked me if I ran around when I was younger, like it is a trait only my husband could have passed down.

That shit irks me so much. "Boys will be boys" makes me want to claw people's eyes out.
I only have girls and I'm super defensive over the sexist shit people say (like them only being complimented on their looks or me always being told they're "drama straight from the womb").

I'm disappointed in you! I love all the "bugs" in the ocean. They're delicious.
We actually went to a really nice seafood restaurant this weekend for our anniversary. The lobster was amazing.

thedawkterswife · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401*shudder* I am SO thankful my kid gave up watching Eleana. Though, that might have happened because mama told her Eleana is on vacation. Sorrynotsorry.

kpc914 · September 2017

@cups4 Ewww. Everything about how little girls should act vs little boys irks me to no end. This is our first pregnancy, but it is also part of the reason we are team green. I can't deal with that BS.

kpc914 · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401 wtf...someone has actually said that to you? "drama straight from the womb"? I would go off on someone for that

Yep. And I know we're going to get the "going for a boy" comments once we announce. I hate people.

duck_duck_goose · September 2017

@gildah I completely agree! I find it so rude! My SIL has a BBQ every fourth of July and tells us that she will provide hotdogs and water, and that's it. If you want any other grilled meat or sides of any kind you need to bring it. If you don't bring enough for the whole class you get some major side eye. Drives me bat shit crazy.

My UO: Thanksgiving is my least favorite or the 3 big holidays. Thanksgiving food is my least favorite kind of food and it takes everything I have in me to choke it down. Except funneral potatoes. They are my reason for going to dinner on thanksgiving.

Poppy0419 · September 2017

@duck_duck_goose blasphemy. I'll eat your portion too. My parents restaurant does thanksgiving dinner style meal for Sunday Lunch and it's AMAZING. I may not always get up for church but you better know I'm there devouring that.

@gildah THE WORST. Don't invite me to a party to bring something. HATE. IT. I don't mind if its a friend who needs help though. I've been there.

Um maybe a FFFC but I've never seen Big Brother.

My UO:

ugh idk. I can't think of one right now. I'll get back to y'all.

sparkymcgeee · September 2017

I love thanksgiving food so much. So so much. I love that holiday. It's not as much work as the others (well for me since I don't typically cook it) and there are no things to buy except food (which you buy for the others as well) and at the end of the day you're done. You don't have a ton of leftover food if you plan it well and you don't have to take down a ton of decorations or deal with holiday aftermath mess. Just clean your kitchen and move on.

I hate thanksgiving. I've been in the kitchen making so much stupid food for it since I was six. That's 22 years of being a scullery maid, and chef for other people sitting on their asses watching football and getting hammered. This year we are going to Disney, and I don't even care if we don't get stuffing.

I get that. I wonder if at 15w I'll be feeling up to cooking. I always make a few things to take to family functions but never the full meal. I've been saying for a few years now that I want to have a dinner with just us four. But I lived five minutes from my parents or siblings or grandparents so I haven't. I might this year though. I can do the dishes only I want. That would be kind of amazing.

I got a terrible stomach bug two days before thanksgiving, while I was 38 weeks pregnant with DS. I was pretty blah, and told DH and the kids to make a list of must haves for dinner. It was SO simple. It was awesome not to feel pressured to make aunt Betty's green bean casserole that no one actually likes. I highly recommend only doing "must haves"

momo214 · September 2017

My UO: I hate BRU and TRU. They're overpriced with horrible websites and shipping options and the store gives me anxiety. Anytime a friend registered at BRU and a second store I always pick the second store. Good riddance.

sandbar517 · September 2017

I LOVE Thanksgiving food and I like that it's one of the few holidays that don't get involved in any kind of religious or political debate. Just be thankful. Good message, even better food. Yum.

I SO agree with PP about boys vs girls. While I would never go so far as to name my baby Storm and not reveal its sex to anyone, I HATE that people pigeonhole babies into what they will or won't like before they're even born. I hate "gender" reveal parties (I guess that's my UO today) but I hate even more that now people feel the need to "theme" them. Which will it be? Guns or Glitter? Touchdowns or Tutus? Ugh. They're the worst.

firefliesandfjords · September 2017

The Thanksgiving hate hurts my soul. I could eat that food all day everyday.

My UO: Leggings are pants, and no, you don't need a shirt that covers your backside. As long as the leggings are opaque, they are no different than any other pants. You don't need a shirt to cover your ass in sweats or yoga pants or jeans. It should be the same with leggings and I hate that arbitrary rule. I also purposely go out of my way to wear leggings in front of certain people in my life that follow that stupid rule and never shut up about it, just because it annoys me that much and I'm petty AF.

Maybe YOU don't need a shirt that covers your backside.....

mileswithmyles · September 2017

I love Thanksgiving! The food is my favorite and my family does a good job of sharing the cooking responsibilities so it isn't stressful.

firefliesandfjords · September 2017

@gildah People can wear what they want, without imposing rules on other people. If someone doesn't like it, they can not look.

Yeah no. Still not real pants. I'm 110lbs and there's no way in hell yall gonna see my butt or vajayjay in my leggings. And this is coming from someone who literally sells leggings.

firefliesandfjords · September 2017

I fail to see how completely opaque leggings are any different than yoga pants.

cups4 · September 2017

@firefliesandfjords
^I'm with her

I don't care about "body type" either. If you buy the right leggings that are thick enough, who cares.

JenniatONU · September 2017

Oh yay. Body shaming, and it's not even Friday yet.

gildah · September 2017

Hey, totally not body shaming, just saying that I personally keep MY derrière covered. I couldn't care less if someone else doesn't though. In fact, I don't think I've ever even noticed anyone else in "inappropriate" leggings!?!

kpc914 · September 2017

@firefliesandfjords I'm with you! in general, why do we feel the need to tell women what they can and can't wear? I'm not a fan of when men wear cargo pants and shorts as an everyday outfit. What cargo are you carrying besides your wallet? But, you don't see me telling them that cargo pants are only allowed when logistically necessary/useful. Wear what you want and forget what people think.

sandbar517 · September 2017

@kpc914 I absolutely agree that everyone has the right to wear what they like, but I also have the right to think it looks terrible. Which is the case with me and leggings. (Not to mention so many other things.) Not body shaming, or saying people can't wear them, I just think they look terrible with nothing over them.
ETA Regardless of body shape or size.

kpc914 · September 2017

@sandbar517 valid point...hence my dislike of cargo pants/shorts hahaha.

@kpc914 I think I may be one of the only (if not *the* only) women on earth that likes it when my man wears cargo pants/shorts.

We're hikers though, so maybe it's just a happy memory association.

gildah · September 2017

I hate cargo pants, but mostly because they are hard to fold neatly.

suchaglencoco · September 2017

I love Thanksgiving and I love hosting and cooking and baking.
Maybe that's my UO- loving to host.
I hosted DH's family Christmas one year and sewed mini stockings for everyone's silverware holder and put their first initial on them. Including the kids. I loved it.
I really like keeping schedules so a lot of the times I'd rather host than not so we eat at an appropriate time and the kids stay on their sleep schedules.

And I don't ask people to bring things! That's just rude! MIL insists on bringing a dish or salad to most things and that's super sweet, but I never expect her to.
And if someone asked me to bring something to a baptismal meal, I'd be furious. Although, I do offer to bring something to get togethers, but that's because I want to, not because it'd expected or asked. People can be the worst.

ivyvines6 · September 2017

In regards to cargo shorts, SO just bought what he would call "grown up" shorts. First time not buying cargo shorts, and first time buying shorts that come right above the knee. I guess thirty inspires different shorts preferences...

(leggings are pants, even if you're too stuck up to wear them yourself)

My UO: I hate shaving. I feel like a child when I shave. I'm so annoyed with the society preference and conditioning towards hairless females. It grows there for a reason, and I shouldn't be looked at as "dirty" or "unhygienic" for electing to not remove it.
