C'mon in ladies. Tell us your UO's.

Not even a food UO? REALLY?

Even when it's breaded and fried? Topped with sauce and cheese?  That's the only way I like it.

Does all that sauce, cheese, and fried amazingness hide the awful taste?

I love eggplant. I used to hate it but I've grown to enjoy it.

I don't know how unpopular this will be after yesterday's May 15 blow up, but I don't think I'd be comfortable sharing personal pictures/social media info with a BMB. I love you ladies but creepers don't tell you they're creepers and there's no real way of knowing until it's too late

I thought that too, and then I posted my wedding pics here in like 2 seconds. Guess I'm already ruined!

Wait and see. My January 14 group have transitioned from internet to real life friends -- it depends on the group dynamic, but don't count it out. Those women are my lifeline for a lot of things.

ETA: But I didn't join the FB group / share IRL information until AFTER we had gone through our pregnancies together and babies were born. Wasn't just a jump in an share your real name kind of situation.

Really the whole East Mediterranean region. Eggplant is very important in Turkish cuisine.

Oh the country. Got it. My first thought that it was a member. Like when people page WH when someone disses on Adam or hashtags.

If there is a sour/bitter taste, usually they aren't prepping it properly! When sliced, its supposed to be salted and layered with paper towels to absorb the bitter/sour taste.

Thank you! I knew I was missing something. I will try eggplant every now and then just to see if I like it...nothing so far.

Interesting. Maybe I have never had it prepared the correct way!?!

I have no idea what this is...off to Google.

ETA: It seems to be a humus-ish dip. I would definitely try that!

UO: I have zero interest in Big Brother and wish the thread at the top of the board would go away already.

I don't worry so much about pictures, because I don't feel like I can be tracked down. But I will not share my personal fb page. I don't want strangers to have access to have information about me and/or my nieces/nephews/family.

[gabride2010]

Maybe UO?? If/when H and I have children, we do not want any pictures on any social media, and we will strongly request that our families do the same.

We have had the same discussion, I'm pretty sure this is going to be much harder than we think, FIL is a FB whore.

+1  Dh and I had that discussion before. SIL1 was known to hijack pictures! When her son's dad would take pictures of them at the fair, at the zoo, etc. (he only gets 2 weekends a month with nephew) she would save his pictures from FB and crop son's dad out, and post to FB the fun weekend that she took son to the zoo or where ever the pictures were located.
