[jtizzay]

Yallow insert gif puhlease!!

Let the roll ladies!

[jtizzay]

Of course I had one. Then forgot it. Snooze.

Will be right back after this commercial ?

[northernlghts]

Which is why I'm not doing anything big highpeak. Two sandwich trays from Wegmans, a couple snacks and cupcakes. I called everyone two weeks ago, I'm definitely expecting 12 people, possibly 6-7 more. Done.

E's party was definitely for me. I obsessed over the decorations, which happen to all come from pinterest. So I guess that makes me a pinterest mom.

UO Thursday:

[yalllow]

UO 1. I love Judge Judy. I wish I could talk to stupid people like the way she talks to stupid people. ::sigh::: #socialworkwoes

2. I can't stand seeing "friends" on my FB thread that I know receive assistance from the state for one reason or another and share Conservative Bullshit crap. You're a dumb ass and if I was Judge Judy I'd tell you so in front of 10 million people. 

edit: spacing

Agreed on over-rated 1st. birthday parties. I'm not having one for Levi. My sil on the other hand insists on bringing us a sandwich tray and a cake. Ok. We'll have 6 adults and my 5 kids. Sounds perfect.

The older I get the less opinionated I have become. UP? possibly. I just cannot get hung up on too much as my life has thrown me curve ball after curve ball. I once had very set beliefs. My strongest O today is that I need to be open minded to other people.

[linzerd]

I'm trying to think of one but I so suck at these...all my opinions seem to be popular!

1. You shouldn't post pics of other ppl's kids on social media
2. You shouldn't plan your own bridal/baby any kind of shower

That's all I got at the moment...

[lincbeesmom]

UO: I don't think the Hilary Clinton personal email use "scandal" was a big deal. At All.

[linzerd]

lincbeesmom, I don't either, I don't even get it, really. NBD, who cares?

Yes exactly. I think the media was looking for something to pin on her since the election is coming up soon.

[maganonymous]

I don't have a UO, but re: the Hillary Clinton thing. I don't have a huge opinion on it, but considering Gmail has blocked log in attempts to my old email account about 20 times this month, I can understand why people might see it being a big deal having state matters sent to a less secure server. I'm not even important and people in Austria are trying to hack my account...

[yalllow]

Random thought.... do we still have UO amongst ourselves? We've known each other one year and some of us longer... lol We're like an old married couple at this point. 

[kimberpoo]

eeee mine was the exact opposite of linzerd today! I think it's perfectly ok to post pics of other peoples kids on social media, as long as it is (of course) tactful and not bad/nude/embarrassing/etc type pics. like, my kid and your kid have a playdate = mommy pic overload! haha.
example: I had a playdate at my place for LO and a few of our best friends who have LO's about his age. pics posted. on the other hand, I took a ton of pics of BIL and his daughter's baptism (she's 7). they did the full-body dunk, so his LO had on a bathingsuit. I asked his permission before posting any of those pics as she is a bit older and the bathing suit thing made me feel like I needed to ask first. he was happy to have me post them and the family was glad to be able to see them.
I would, of course, respect anyone's wishes who didn't want lo's pics on FB or wherever, but I wouldn't understand why they felt that way unless the pic was questionable.

[linzerd]

I guess I get it with the hacking thing, but idk, stop trying to find things to slander her with!

I'm talking more specifically of my my best friend who posted pics from A's bday party on FB the other day.  My only concern is that my friend probably has hundreds, maybe even over 1000 FB friends.  She's a self proclaimed "people person" and also self proclaimed "slut".  For example, I know for a fact she has slept with over 100 people. So, that being said I don't know that she really knows all her FB friends, or trusts them for that matter, but I certainly don't and I don't really want them to see pics of my kid.  Plus if I had wanted an album of pics from her party posted on FB, don't you think I should have been the one to post them?  She is, after all...MY KID.


ETA: Maybe I am overreacting, but idk, it just irks me.

I'm cool with a pic being posted if it's been approved by myself or my DH. SIL put dd on her Christmas card this year without asking. Neither of us have met the majority of the people she sent said card to. Would have been nice to have been asked so we could politely decline!

[katka512]

linzerd I don't think you're overreacting at all. I don't have any pics of LO posted on social media. It's important to me that her picture not be out there. When SIL posted some, I asked her to remove them and she did.
Post pictures of your own kid. Don't make decisions like that for someone else without permission.

WHOA!  Now that, is not cool.  I would have probably lost my shit.

[katka512]

Also it's weird for a stranger to ask to take a picture of your baby. I've had that happen a couple times. Why do you need a picture of a baby you don't even know? I think it's creepy.

[bebeski]

I got nothing but agree with pp - strangers taking pics of your LO is a no go!

[bsouls]

Sometimes I hate Judge Judy, sometimes I like her. I currently like her and I like when she calls people out for just trying to be on TV.

I hate when people post conservative shit or say, "thanks Obama." A women I work with talks about being broke and not being able to afford shit. Her son has been on Medicaid because she can't afford to pay for his insurance - but, it's cool, bitch about the assistance you receive - republicans wouldn't pay for it, if they had their way. But, she's also concerned about her ability to carry a gun that she has never owned.

And, the Clinton thing is dumb. I stopped listening to any of it, but I thought they said something about having her own server created. Like, it was a personal account that she used for business and pleasure, but not like on Yahoo or Gmail. So, I it was pretty secure - it just wasn't the government account she should have been using. I could be wrong. I don't care and most of them do it.

Just like I see lots of people these days combing their work cell and personal cell - who wants to carry two fucking phones?

Also, as far as getting older and being or not being opinionated. I feel I still have opinions, but I just don't care about shit enough to get worked up. I have long hair, so I don't care.

[jtizzay]

linzerd my mil did that. I received her card w my lo's face on it. The kicker is it was one day before people received mine.

I would be livid!

[babycaps]

Not directed at the post before this one that linzerd posted, but I don't care how many ppl anyone has slept with. 1, 3,5,10,100,300, it's none of my business.

I would care if someone posted pics of LO w/o permission. And wouldn't post pics of anyone w/o permission.

I don't think clintons email thing is a big deal.
I like Hillary Clinton!

I also like my new bedtime: 930pm. I'm old!

[fish8412]

We don't allow anyone to put pictures of LO on any website. I am surprised at how many people don't realize that it's illegal to put a picture of a child (under age 18) on a website without parental permission.

[angelsnight]

I agree that first birthdays are totally for the parents, but I am still excited to have Lo's on Saturday and I loved planning it. I guess my UO is big parties every year, especially the early ones the kids likely won't remember.

We're not going ALL out, just immediate family and friends, but with spouses and kids that still equals 26 not counting us. I went with plain colored paper products (No disney plates, etc) and kept decorations to a minimum, doing a lot of it DIY. We're just doing subs and our parents are bringing a dish, but total it will all probably run about $400. I can't imagine doing that every year. Until at least her 5th, after this birthdays will just be grandparents, maaaaybe aunts and uncles, cake (probably homemade) and ice cream.

[linzerd]

babycaps how could that NOT be directed at my comment? That response seemed a bit passive aggressive. To clarify, you are right, it is no one's business how many people someone has slept with. I suppose I was subtly making reference to the fact that my friend is not a very good judge of character. Or that she shows her lack of a good judgement call. I don't think promiscuity is a very good quality. I love her to death and she has been my best friend since we were 15 & 13 and met at summer camp, but over the years I have seen why my mother didn't like her and thought she was a bad influence. This is why I am not ok with her posting pics of my kid for all of her facebook friends that I don't know, to see. It's about who is doing the posting, really.

jtizzay that is actually something I could see my mother doing, now that I think about it. Good thing she doesn't send out Xmas cards!

[bsouls]

linzerd just because your friend chooses to have casual sex does not make her a poor judge of character. Now, if she's not having safe sex, so she's constantly getting diseases or she's bringing guys home that are stealing from her then I think you might have an argument for poor decision making.

I've typed and deleted a lot of shit. But, yeah, this type of thinking is exactly what fucks with women. Our vaginas aren't a prize to be won.

[yalllow]

I just thought... 100???


That's it??
