veggiemo we went to 3 different parades in 3 different towns...maybe NJ is just bad at parades! Even the kids were super bored!
All this last weekend, or you're saying spread throughout the year? Because I would probably be on the parade hate-train too if I had to endure 3 in a row! And my kids would surely be bored with it by then.
1 last year, then one on July 1 and one on July 4. All in different towns nearby. My SIL and DH are obsessed with parades so we all get dragged along...
Wait wait wait...are you people flushing wipes?!?! Please tell me you're only dealing with your own septic system on this bc this has totally fucked my city's water/sewer system and I have always had a hard time believing people actually flushed wipes. But if you are using them for adults, throwing them away sounds pretty revolting.
I don't flush the wipes, I put them in with LO's dirty diapers. Then wash my hands, LOL!
Oh and carrots, I use the wipes on DS, not typically on myself. Unless it's the kind of poo where I really need some extra reinforcement. In that case, I would flush it. But that doesn't happen very often.
I just thought of another UO after reading the randoms again - I think it's kind of silly to buy anniversary presents for your spouse. H and I have always looked at it as "our" day, so we try to plan something together - a date night at a nice restaurant we want to try, or a shared experience on vacation, etc. In four anniversaries, I don't think either of us has actually bought the other a legit "present." To each their own, but I kind of like having one less day I have to find something to buy him.
I feel this way about 99% of holidays. We do not celebrate with gifts. When it comes to our wedding anniversary we discussed and both agreed to make a big deal about it. Because quite frankly every year married is a big deal. Having a child makes this even more true. I think it should be celebrated accordingly.
ETA I guess I also feel this way about mother's day and father's day. And to be clear it's not about the gift being fancy or expensive but it's the thought that goes into showing you care for the reason you are celebrating.
I'm all for making a big deal out of the anniversary. But I don't think a big deal has to be a gift. We put a lot of effort into planning anniversaries that both of us will love. Pre-baby we actually planned big vacations for our anniversary, which to me is way better than receiving jewelry or another physical object, and those vacations did take a lot of though, and ultimately, helped strengthen our marriage with shared new experiences. But, every couple is different, and should celebrate their anniversary how they want. For a lot, that involves gifts. It just doesn't for H and I, hence the unpopular part of the opinion
I don't get the chapped dry asshole comments. It's not like there is lotion in the 2-ply that moisturizes your b-hole...
it sounds like there are some real speshul sneauxflak assholes in this group.
I blame hellish hemorrhoids from both babies back to back for my delicate derriere. Or maybe you and @jemomma 's bholes have seen a lot worse than 1 pli
It's really hard not to click that 3dimesdown , but not sure if it's SFW.
It is SFW. Just a yahoo article about your TP giving you micro-cuts in your crack. NBD, feel free to print and post in your work bathroom next to the one-ply.

We should probably all just start carrying squirt bottles and little towels around so we can rinse and blot dry instead of wiping and potentially injuring ourselves with that dangerous TP!

Omg. I only read the last two pages of this thread and I cannot stop laughing. And you can get moisturizing tp for the chapped bunghole... you know that Cottonelle w/ Aloe? It's amazing. But so bad for the environment. But that's a different topic for a different day.
My UO is brought to you courtesy of July 4th: Parades are the worst holiday tradition. They are hot and boring and noisy and add zero value to life. Half of the parade is always just people walking behind a car. Why god why?
ETA: also, I will intentionally switch your toilet paper roll if I know you are one of those crazies who insists it has to go a certain way.
Agree the only cool thing about a parade is if you are in the parade and get to sit lazily in a car or on a float cruising around. But then if it involves hand waving for hours then no thanks to that either.
@poppyc8 when I worked for the SPCA I had to walk dogs and chase our kids camp kids in the parade. I basically used to run the entire parade route, in between hoisting kids on and off the float that is. It sucks.
Kristykristyleelee, I'm also in the no bones in my meat camp. But I did not know you can get boneless chicken thighs.
In regards to presents I rarely if ever buy stuff for myself so yes please to any and all presents. Plus I'd feel like a total dolt buying something like a Pandora charm for myself but I love to be given them.
carolyngrace Yes! I accidentally picked up a box of lavender scented trash bags and they are the worst. First off, the Glad folks need new sniffers cause they think lavender apparently smells like Lysol. Lysol makes me think of cleaning up vomit and now every time I throw something away I get a nice whiff of Lysol-lavender + garbage smell.
But damnit, I bought the darn things, so we will use every last one of those bags.
Lol I'm trudging through mine also. Damnit when will the box be empty?! There's at least 100 in there so... Months and months...
I love giving and receiving gifts, but I also think it's a very personal thing and each couple needs to find their own balance. H and I have compromised. I give him fewer gifts than I would naturally be inclined to, and he gives me more. We both think we've got the best end of the bargain, although it took a couple of years to get there!
