My dog> other people's cats >other people's dogs I'm a cat person, but I love MY dog. And he's so chill and awesome that he's ruined me for cat ownership.
I don't understand the obsession of watching movies in the theater, even the super fancy ones with reclining seats and ice cream sundaes. I would much rather watch a movie on my couch in my jammies. DH goes to movies so often he buys movie passes on-line in bulk.

If you have movie theater sound quality in your house, make room for me.
Some movies are really just meant to be watched in the theater. Any superhero/big action (LOTR, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, etc.) movie is 100x better in the theater. Those are the only ones we really go see, though, and we only see them once.
Ok for all you ketchup on hot dogs people. What do you put on sausage?
Nothing, because I only eat it at breakfast.
On the RARE occasion I might have eaten an Italiansausage, I would put all the condiments. Ketchup, mustard (but not yellow mustard because gross), mayo, possibly some relish, and/or peppers & onions.
Maple syrup goes on breakfast sausage. Duh.
Also I can't believe no one has said bbq sauce on sausage yet. BBQ sausage is awesome.
Honestly, the dogs/cats which is better conversation is all in jest. I prefer dogs by far. When I say dogs are better than cats it's a hyperbole for me saying that I prefer to have dogs over cats. I don't hate cats. I don't wish ill on cats or cat owners. I care about animals in general regardless of species so I want to see cats treated well. It would just take a very special cat for me to be its owner. To be fair, there are some dogs I've met that drive me insane. fuzzylogic is right when she says it's all about the owner but that really is a different conversation if we're talking preference of dog vs. cat.
TL;DR- it's superficial and silly debate. The blanket statements of dogs>cats or cats>dogs is hyperbolic.
Oh I know it's in jest. At least I hope no one here is going to GBCTCF over someone's opinion of pets.

I LOVE movie theaters. I'd even rather see a movie at the dollar theater over watching it at home. Partly because giant screen and surround sound, partly because community. My absolute favorite is new movies on opening day. The energy and excitement of everyone makes it better. I especially love when everybody claps and cheers at the awesome parts. It's magical.

I could see if a person wanted to see a certain movie right away or it had amazing effects or something. But yeah, not me. I put the closed captioning on, I talk throughout, get up often, etc. I am a pain in the ass movie watcher LOL

I have ADHD. The only way for me to sit and watch and entire movie without pausing it 7 times or being simultaneously on my phone/computer is in the theater.
I think "Surprise" Showers are stupid. I know I'll have a shower and I don't see what is the problem with me.knowing the date.
Dammit I want to buy a cute dress and not.plan something else on that day, sister and SILs
It actually seems pretty cruel to allow an unsuspecting pregnant woman (who may or may not be frumping it up that particular day) to walk into a party at which everyone will be staring at her throughout. I only found out about mine because DH told me to "dress nicely" that day. Bless him.

Apparently UO: DON'T FUCKING WANDER INTO MY OFFICE AND DEMAND HELP. I just might be doing something important (like my job) and you are interrupting me. Time to close my office door again.

I like ticker change threads and usually start mine on my BMB. This pregnancy has been such an effing roller coaster; counting each week that passes is one big way that I cope. As arbitrary as it may be, posting about it on my BMB gives me a little something to look forward to every week.
I'm all for the idea of free-range parenting, but I cannot stand the parents that don't correct their kids when they need correcting. This post brought to you by the bowling alley party kid who ran in front of other kids repeatedly chucking balls down the lanes. My H thought I was overreacting with my level of being annoyed, as it was kind of a free for all in there, but IMO that parent should have stepped up and corrected their kid at some point, he was 4, maybe 5?
That's not free-range parenting, that's being stupid. Yes, you correct your child. Just pick him up and move him back to where he belongs.
I feel validated. I seemed like the only one who was bothered by this kid's behavior. I err on the side of helicopter when it comes to correcting my kids, but if they are behaving, I'm cool with them having plenty of freedom.
Speaking of movies. I rather watch kid movies than adult ones.

There will come a time, when you've watched Mulan every single day for 6 months, that you would rather gouge your eyes out than watch another kids movie.
But I prefer cats over dogs in general. But I'm kind of a cat whisperer.
I dislike all coffee. I do not understand the big fucking deal about Starbucks.
Now for a real UO (maybe): I think I might be a bit of a free-range mom. Hovering over your kids every second doesn't seem healthy, for the kid or the parent. I don't really see a problem with a 9 year-old at the park alone, if the park isn't that far from home, though I know plenty of people would freak out. I don't see why kids can't roam their neighborhood without the cops picking them up and accusing the parent of negligence. I think people have gone way too far with the whole surveillance society thing and we're doing children a disservice for it.
I think it depends on the kid, but I agree with the general hovering thing. Not that I'm very good in practice. It's hard to watch my kid climb to the top of the playground equipment because half the time she'll try to fling herself off of it without being cognizant of the potential consequences. So I hover more than I'd like to ideally in my mind. Scraped knees, minor injuries - sure. The daredevil I apparently gave birth to? No amount of explaining or talking gets through the danger to her. Though the broken arm helped some - now she listens a bit more about being careful instead of just flinging herself off and expecting we'll catch her.
But my brother at 9? He was allowed to roam the neighborhood, but he was kind of dumb then. Like, he broke into a friend's house to play Nintendo because his friend said he could while they were on vacation kind of dumb. So. Yeah. I mean, he turned out all right in the end, but yeah.
I'm sad for myself that comedies no longer make me laugh. Didn't they used to be funny? Someone please give me a rec of a truly hilarious movie that will make my face hurt. No lame chuckles, real laughs.

I want you to know that I love tit this for the sentiment, but I can't imagine getting sick of Mulan. Shrek, Princess crap, and dumb kids' movies, sure. But Mulan is awesome.

I haven't been to a movie a movie in a theater for 2 years either and the last one was because H wanted to go. I am definitely not going to try it now when I have to pee every hour. In general I prefer 1/2 hr or 1 hr shows to movies anyway. I think if I went to a place with the reclining seats I would fall asleep and then be pissed that I spent money to sleep.
