UO: I can't believe that people actually get bent out of shape when someone says "sorry for CD1/BFN".
You know that people are just trying to be supportive, right?
I actually like when people say it to me. It's nice to feel supported by others who actually understand what it feels like to get another CD1 or BFN when trying to get KU. It's not like I can talk to anyone else (besides DH and maybe my mom) about how I'm feeling upset that my period started.
I think it's good that it helps you. The threads are supposed to be a source of support. It's only awkward for me because of my cycle lengths. Sometimes I feel like saying, alrighty, see you again next week.
I don't think tanning (as in beds, not necessarily outside but people shouldn't really do that either) should be a thing, unless you have a medical condition that needs you to do so. I'm so thankful my mom refused to let me go when I was a teen. I fear for my generation's skin health in the future.
I'm always battling H over tanning. He wants me to look tan, I don't want sun damage or wrinkles. He can buy me an expensive and non-orange fake tan anyyyyytime
I'd just say "Do you want me tan now, or wrinkly and cancerous later?"
I think if tanning turns you orange, then you shouldn't go tanning. This applies to spray tans as well.
I'll take this one step further:

This exactly. My mom has gotten melanoma spots a couple times and it is so not worth it.
One of the people I know of Facebook currently has a duckface selfie as her avatar and her face is orange. There is so much wrongness there I don't know where to start.
Currently, as in you may unfriend them? I would I were you.
This is also the friend that lives up the street that I have nothing in common with, sells that stupid Beach Body thing, and can't take a hint that I really don't want to hang out anymore.

I wish the whole tanning craze would just go away. I especially hate when people say that "tan fat looks better than pale fat." Like, what? What a horrible message to send. Let's fat shame AND encourage skin cancer at the same time!

LT for agreeing with me. I'm sorry your mom has had melanoma spots It's so scary!
My mom stopping me from tanning made me angry at the time, but later realized she was saving me from something very bad in the future. One of her parenting wins.
MH smoked cigarettes for 15 years and used an e-cig to quit. He hasn't smoked a cigarette in two years and an e-cig in one. I agree people can be obnoxious with it, but if it helps someone quit then I'm all for it.
I agree. I guess I completely forgot to specify that I was talking about e-cigs with the crazy flavors. We have "vapor shops" popping up all over the place in my area. They're not being used as a tool to help people quit like they were originally intended. Instead they've become like a portable hookah. I really don't care if people want to use them, I just don't get the hype.
I use an e-cig...I stick with menthol, I'm not big on crazy flavors. I didn't use it to quit smoking, I honestly started because it was SO much cheaper (a pack of cigarettes is like $6!!)

UGH I have never heard that before. Not fucking cool.

The couple that she has found were found early so they didn't spread but it is scary! I still like to get sun on my skin but with an appropriate amount of sunscreen.

MH had all kinds of flavors too. He had one called "Unicorn's milk." It fucking turned my stomach.

I had a possible melanoma removed when I was 23. I don't go tanning and I am not that fair skinned. If I can get that from not tanning I fear what can happen to who do. Skin cancer is not a cool fashion trend.
Hmm... I do want to do DW at some point. It will more than likely include children because there are a lot of trips I want to take! But drinking around the world just reminds me of the around the world frat parties in college that never ended well. I will stick to 1 type of alcohol at a time!
DH and I got into a terrible argument in front of the restaurant in Canada (our last stop of drinking). Now we each just split a beer around the world...one each didn't turn out well for us (well more just me).

C'mon, bunny. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels either.
EDIT: Obviously a joke. OBVIOUSLY. ::scared someone can't read sarcasm::

Shit that is scary. People around here want to tan in the winter to keep from being too pale. Um it's fucking winter you are supposed to be pale.

I've been told this - on more than one occasion. The first time by my weight watchers leader, years ago.

I'm a waitress, and I've been thinking about this for a while now. Pretty sure it's a UO.
I think the current system of paying/tipping servers is bad and it's getting worse. I think it should change. Exactly what that change looks like is something I waffle about. Maybe a proper wage/salary based on experience and ability ,or a commission based system where the server gets a base wage plus a percentage commission on their sales. I think it would be better for employees and customers.
My eyes are so goddamn sensitive to the light I got transition lenses for my regular glasses. I need sunglasses even in the dead of winter. I was so pissed when I realized they don't change in the car. Next time I get new glasses (which needs to be soon because my eyes are shit again) I'll try to get the magnetic clip-ons again.
The light buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurns.
The winter is the worst, especially when there's snow on the ground. Talk about OUCH.
Dh came back from a snowboarding trip sunburned!!! He wore wind protective stuff, he wore his googles, but didn't think he needed to wear sunscreen on extremities because "it was winter!"

Yuck. I think my brother had Eggnog during Christmas time. I hate that stuff anyway (UO?), I was not going to try the vapor.

Screw the servers. They only handle our food.
j/k - MH's tips pay for our gas and groceries. I would love more consistency week to week.

I hate the tipping system. I pretty much tip all servers the same unless my service is really really really unbelievably bad. I hate being the judge of someone else and tipping to me seems like judging. Maybe the server is having a bad day. It happens. They don't deserve to be punished for maybe not providing stellar service. Just pay them a normal hourly wage and get rid of the tipping system.
