I loved the book. I thought it was beautifully written and gave such insight into the mind of someone with bipolar disorder. Maybe it's a UO that I thought it was excellent, but I did. Maybe I'm alone because my MIL is bipolar/manic depressive and so the book held great interest to me in particular, but I'd like to think I know a good book when I read one haha.
Fair enough. I enjoyed parts but overall found the book just dreadful. I could hardly keep reading after the big reveal of the song for their dance.
Fun fact - we're family friends of the author. I feel like a bigger jerk for disliking his book due to this.
I don't mind the daily drinking thread and quite enjoy the random thread. My issue, for lack of a better word, with the drinking thread is that by the time I sit down in the evening to join in its already on page 6+. Most of the east coasters have passed out/gone to bed and the board is as bumping as it was a couple hours prior.
#westcoastproblems.
My UO: I don't care for chain restaurants except for Olive Garden, and really only like their salad dressing and bread sticks.
Samsies. West coast is always late to all the parties. Even these threads are like 6 pages deep by the time I get to work.

UO - I hate white pizza. I don't understand the point. If I wanted cheese on bread with no sauce, I would have a grilled cheese.
I have no idea what white pizza is. And why is it called White Pizza?
It sounds like cheese sticks to me? And in that case, I LOVE cheese sticks, probably more than I love actual pizza. Most pizza places put way too much sauce on the pizza for me.
Cooper is my fur-baby. He is our family, and yes we think of him as a real member of that. Do I think I love him the way I'd love a child? No, but I love him as much as I could possibly love a fur-baby. For people who can't have their own children or grandchildren, animals can be a huge part of their lives. What they call them shouldn't make you want to "stab them in the eye"
I understand that some people feel that way. It just bugs me for some reason. I don't know why, and I understand that it's irrational.
ETA: I do think of pets as members of the family. But it's different somehow.
I think that by people saying that their pets are their "fur-children" or "fur-babies" they are admitting that their pets are a part of their family, but not like have human children. When you adopt a pet, you agree to take responsibility for the pet for the rest of its life because they don't grow up and become able to care for themselves, unlike human children.
I have no idea what white pizza is. And why is it called White Pizza?
No tomato sauce so its white bread, white cheese and white garlic...
My favorite white pizza is one I tried in Germany and ate many, many more times throughout my stay. Thin crust, creme fraiche, garlic, gruyere and muenster cheeses, caramelized onions and bacon. Droooool.
Lollipop I will join you with the pets thing - I don't like it when people call me my dog's mom. I am not his mom. I am his owner. I do shower him with lots of attention because he's my buddy - he's very spoiled and lives a good life. But we're not in a mom-son relationship here.
I also dislike when people put the "I'm going to be a big brother/sister" sign on their dog for baby announcements.
You will probably dislike me one day then. Buffy is our baby. She knows what mommy and daddy means and runs to the appropriate person when the word is said. Do I think she is a human child? Of course not. But she is my baby girl and I love her dearly.

Edit - should read: board ISNT as bumping as it was.
By the time my entrée has come out I'm too full from the salad and breadsticks to eat it. That's my favorite thing about OG.
UO: Flavored coffee is gross. Almost all the time. I fully admit I used to I like it, but I have learned the error of my ways.
You have obviously never had New England's Best Coffee. Their coffees are the shit and actually taste like the flavor. I usually have their Almond Joy or Kahlua flavor. I just wish they had a bigger K cup selection in the store.
I actually HAVE had New England's Best. That's what I used to (very occasionally) buy when I "liked" flavored coffee. I only ever liked Hazelnut...maybe French Vanilla on occasion. This was like, oh it's the weekend, let's have some yummy flavored coffee. Now I just can't even.
I do put flavors IN my coffee sometimes... like flavored coffee drinks, when that's what I want. Actual flavored beans, nope. Yuck. I think it's largely because I strongly prefer dark roasts and all flavors are light roast.
Agree 100%. White pizza is delicious! Given the choice I will always take white pizza.
I love love love white pizza! DH only sort of likes it but he prefers red sauce and I usually let him win that one. There is a pizza place that we go to like once a year and we always HAVE to get white pizza because it is delicious!!
Do people actually eat pizza with no sauce at all? Not even olive oil or garlic on anything? That seems like it would be sort of dry and not that great.

Hank too. If he's looking for dinner MH will tell him to "go ask mom" and he runs to me and gives me a FEED ME NOW! look. It's awesome.
And I fully intend on having Hank involved in any future pregnancy announcements. I think they're adorable when family pets are involved. They may not be human, but they're definitely family.

Like I said, I get that. It's really just the terms that bother me. I don't care if people refer to themselves as their pet's parent. I just find theterms overly cutesy or something.
I'm not great at explaining myself with these types of things
My UO is why the fake eyelashes everyday???..especially when working in the food industry! SMH
Pretty sure this is not allowed. I could not even wear stud earrings in my kitchen because of the loss risk. I can't imagine false eyelashes would be an exception.

Jumping on this train of thought... When the boys hear my car pull into the garage, DH says mommy's home!! And they know to run to the garage door. He will sometimes even say this to them when I am not home because he thinks it's funny to watch them run to the door. He's mean.

I was explaining my thought process behind it because you said the term bugged you. I see it as pet parents implying that their pets ARE different than human children.

We can do the same thing to our dog, he'd be sitting in our lap and the other one say "Mommy/Daddy's home" and he'll jump out of our lap and run to the door. He's a little special lol.

I don't dislike people who do it - not at all! I just meant I wouldn't do it because I dislike it. Just like I dislike white pizza. Doesn't effect me if you do it - it is just my UO, and I know it is unpopular because every single announcement I've seen has been that or a jar of spaghetti sauce. Lots of people like to call their dogs fur-children and fur baby. I just don't.

All these ladies local to me are bitching about low gas prices because their husbands work in the industry and are getting laid off. I don't care.
Wow....I think you win the biggest bitch award of the day.
Getting laid off is terrible for anyone regardless of the industry they are in. My husband is in the oil business and I am so thankful the company he is apart of is strong enough to stand the problems right now.
There many companies in the country I am living in doing layoffs which unfortunately are affecting many locals. Locals, who have limited access to good jobs and need them to survive.
All these ladies local to me are bitching about low gas prices because their husbands work in the industry and are getting laid off. I don't care.
Well, don't you sound pleasant. Will you laugh in their faces if they lose their houses too?
You realize it's not just people that work in the oil and gas industry that are getting laid off right? Everyone is vulnerable right now.
This is exactly right. My SO and I are ranch foremans. You wouldn't think the oil industry would hurt our jobs, however, our boss is in the oil industry and when he isn't making a good income, we get affected. We have to cut back and worry about whether he will be able to afford to keep us if it continues to struggle. So yeah, it does have an impact on a lot of people other than just those in the oil business. I personally would rather pay a higher price for gas if it means having a job that I don't have to worry about losing.

This happens to me all the time, but just from her avy.
So he can't do it on the other 364 days of the year? There has to be a reason? If someone's husband doesn't spoil them one day out of the year, does that mean they don't love them? LMK.
Well he can and he does, I just like to do things that benefit the both of us (or just him, because I also very much enjoy doing things for my husband) while he would be perfectly happy to do things for me all of the time. So Valentine's day gives him an "excuse" to do something for me. I was making this comment exclusively regarding our relationship, not trying to comment on or judge anyone else's. I was also being very lighthearted in the whole statement.
Maybe the fact that is was juxtaposed with the comment akraus2015 made is what is confusing... I was agreeing with her original statement as my own stance and then adding that my husband would not like that. That confusion might be my own doing then because I was not as clear as I should have been in my original comment.
I also might be a little confused about what it is exactly you are upset about, sorry.
I'm not upset! Your post just sounded super braggy & I was poking fun at it. I'm not sure what you're getting so defensive about?

Random UO: I hate leather car seats. They are either freezing or 1000 degrees and when you wear shorts your legs stick to them.
Really? I have never had this problem with my leather. But it is beige not black, maybe that helps. Also different car manufacturers have different leather. I hate the BMW leather, but the Infinity and VW leather is good. Lexus leather is the best though.

My UO is Facebook related, but I am over the monthly baby shots. The first 12 months can be cute, but seriously, 16 months? I can't wait until they have 35 month pictures. Which reminds me that my cousin tells people her daughters age in months still. She's almost 4.
