My UO: I think vitamins (and prenatals) are a waste of money. I don't see the point of taking them if I'm getting everything I need in my diet. I know some people don't, and that's fine if they want to take them. But goddamnit I don't need 1000% of Vit C and 3x the folic acid than is recommended.
Vitamins are to SUPPLEMENT your diet, not replace it. You should be getting everything from your food. It's infinitely better to eat your vitamins because they are absorbed better by your gut when eaten in the foods they naturally reside in. There's a reason it's in those foods.
But, not everyone eats a well balanced diet so vitamins fill in the holes.
I get that, I really do. As a dietitian I constantly recommend vitamins to people. BUT, if my diet is complete I see no reason to have "extra" of anything.
Another UO: Just because someone comes to your door does not mean that they are an intruder. People in my area are complaining on nextdoor about "intruders" and the most recent was a kid with no coat at 2 in the morning who was disoriented and banging on their door. That doesn't scream intruder to me. The kid needed help. People need to calm down.
That sounds like an intruder.
Is no one else wondering what the hell a kid was doing outside with no coat on at 2 in the morning??
DH was 40 when DS was born. He has classmates that are grandparents and their grandkids are the same age our child.
But the generation lines in his family are all fucked up a anyway. His oldest sister is 20 years older than him and had her 1st at 16, and her second 5 weeks before DH was born (so MIL and SIL were pregnant at the same time). MIL has several great grand kids older than DS, then one great great grandkid just a bit younger than DS.
My family isn't much different. There is the same age gap between my mom and oldest brother as there is between my oldest brother and me.
My youngest sister is 11 months old and my son is 2 1/2. My family gets weird looks all the time.
It's still technically possible that I could end up with another sibling. I think my mom's head would explode if that happened though. And my dad would probably have a coronary.
I wish smoking in public was banned. Not just in parks and around children but everywhere. I have serious allergies and I hate it. If you must kill yourself do it at home or at a cigar shop or something. I live in Florida where it's nice to eat outside a lot and I never get to because everyone is just smoking and killing their lungs. Go away smokers.
I don't smoke and I am also allergic to it. I hound my friends and family regularly about quitting if they smoke. However I don't really feel like we have a right to tell business owners what they will and will not allow in their establishment since smoking isn't illegal. I have the right to decide if a place gets my patronage based on their smoking policy. There are plenty of places that would choose to be smoke free and there are some places that should absolutely 100% be smoking free at all times. I live in a city that has banned smoking in most places and I have seen a lot of people lose their jobs. Bars have closed left and right and league bowlers have gone to surrounding cities because they don't have a smoking ban. Plus I feel the city really screwed over a lot of restaurants by just a few years prior to this ban they made them install very expensive filtration systems and in many cases required separate entrances for the non-smoking and smoking sections.
This is one of the very few reasons I actually like living in New York. You can't smoke anywhere! That shit is under super tight wraps. Even bars and similar places can typically only apply for special smoking permits for special occasions and stuff like that. I hate going to other states that don't have stricter bans on smoking in public places. It seems so archaic to me knowing what we know about smoking and it's affects on both smokers and second hand, nonsmoker health.

There was a lot more to the story, but he never tried to enter the house. Yes, the kid needed help, but he didn't need to be lumped in with the recent break-in. Two totally different things. There have been so many "intruder" posts lately, that people are getting paranoid. They're also panicking because a coyote might attack you and your giant dog or because there was an alligator in the swamp.

Ok. In the future, tell the whole story in your first post or don't post a blanket statement UO with an example at all.
ETA: I'd rather be classified by you as "paranoid" than be dead.
Hmm I think I have one. I LOVE playing sims. All day everyday! I would love to sit in my house all day and play this nerdy game. I literally have every single expansion pack. I haven't played it in a few months because my lap top keeps crashing.
None of my friends really know how deep my love for the game goes. They know I have it and play it, but they do not know HOW much I love this stupid game.
do you have simsfreeplay? I am at level ridiculous on that game. you should become my neighbour lol
Maybe not 50, because my mom's over 50 (she'd kill me if she knew I just admitted that) but yes I totally agree. I think it should depend more on the person's mind capacity though. Because there's some 80 yo's out there that are in better shape than some 50 yo's. But, yes, after a certain point I think you should have to retake your drivers test because there are A LOT of people out there that should not be driving.
How old are you? 12? My mom's almost in her 70s.
My parents had kids very young. I'm 28 29 and my mom is 50 and my dad is 51.
edit because I forgot I had a birthday in January haha
I find the newbie playdate thread frustrating to all hell! I have questions, but searching through those threads to see if they have been asked is infuriating!
It was determined that you can just ask. We don't expect you to read the whole thread.
ALSO - I wish the last Newbie Playdate would die.
ALSOALSO - I wish I could sort posts by post date and not last active.

H and I are both about the turn 31 this spring and my mom is turning 60 this year, Mil will be 62 or 63. They keep up with us just fine. I haven't thought that 60 is super old since I was a kid and my grandma was 60.

I thought that I had explained enough. My thing was when I see someone posting something about an "intruder" I assume there was a break-in. I guess that technically, being in someone's front yard is intruding, but I still don't see why that should be posted with the same panic as a break-in.
I'm still checking locks and paying attention to my surroundings like normal. Just because I don't think the way they classified it doesn't mean that I don't think there was a problem. If someone I didn't know was knocking on my door at night, I would call the police, too.

Someone banging on your door isn't an intruder. They may be intruding on your privacy but they most certainly shouldn't be lumped in with someone trying to actually break into your home. I hope that the kid got some help
No, not always, at 10:30 last night we had someone banging on our door and when MH went out to check, with gun in hand, turned out to be the fire department because our neighbors had called and reported a propane leak and suggested it may be us because he saw that we just got propane last week.

Wow.... read through all 11 pages. treble was right... nothing of note really.
My UO will bring Sims back up... I liked Sims 3 more than Sims 2. I missed being able to make my sims look more like actual people versus cartoony versions of themselves, but I love the ability to go anywhere.

We're saying the same thing.
LOL I kind of thought so... but wasn't sure? I got distracted while reading when someone barged into my office asking if soy sauce in a packet was still good after 3 months. Glad I'm not the only one then!
Don't feel sad Becky! At least not because of that. Being a young mom =/= being a fun or even a good mom. I am certainly not saying it means a young mom can't be those things, it just isn't a given. But I know what you mean, I felt old as hell too knowing there are people who can't legally drink trying to get pregnant... and that they will likely get KU long before me. I am seriously going to get lapped here soon.
I never planned nor wanted to be a young mom. I always knew I'd be in my 30s before having my first child. This doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Same. I wanted to have my shit together and feel financially stable (not saying that anyone younger than me does not already have this accomplished... I just did not until a couple years ago).

It seems so archaic to me knowing what we know about smoking and it's affects on both smokers and second hand, nonsmoker health.
Federal and state taxes on cigarette sales are a tremendous cash cow.
Pushing smokers to the fringe of society more but still telling them "Yup, buy these cigarettes and fund our programs, but don't come near us" disgusts me.
Either make smoking illegal and deal with the fallout of tax loss (or putting that burden on another part of life) or let businesses choose to be smoke-free or not and let people decide where they want to go.
I have no idea if this is unpopular or not; it's just how I feel about smoking.

Oh no I don't have that! I will check it out and PM you when I get it

Well NY is incredibly stupid. They've all but outlawed smoking at this point, but to make up the difference have jacked up the sin tax on cigarettes. It's impossible to find them for under $10/pack here unless you want to drive out of your way to buy in bulk on the reservations.
The plastic company I work for is doing market trials on a new cup to replace styrofoam that is recyclable. I'll have to see if there are plans for to go containers.
This may be an incredibly odd UO at the moment, but your siggy (rooskie) is hot! I don't know what it is about the guy with Mindy, but I just find this sexy! I want some whip cream and him!
*hangs head in shame*
I have to say that Danny has totally won me over in EVERY way this season. When he did his stripper dance? I about lost my shit.
