There's something about warm lettuce that I enjoy...
Like in what context? I've heard grilled caesar salads are good but I've never tried them. Warm lettuce seems skeevy to me
Usually with taco dishes you top it with lettuce but i bake it right in... I'll heat up lettuce on a sub because I like the way it tastes... It's kind of weird I know...

Aha, yep I jumped back off that train. I eat my leftover Chipotle (when there is any) cold because I don't like microwaving the lettuce. But I'd put fresh, washed lettuce from the farmer's market straight into a salad no problem.
I believe in vaccine injuries and my DD is at a very high risk for an auto immune disease and is on a delayed vax schedule (no more than 2 at a time) sanctioned by her dr. I feel that to run around shaming parents for seriously weighing pros and cons of what they put in their child's body does parents and children a disservice. I'm not good with words especially when I'm upset so I won't go any further. But it's seriously offensive to call parents stupid and god knows what other terms I've seen for even questioning a CDC vax schedule or choosing what they believe is the right course of action for their child/ren...
Flame away.
I also don't this is flame worthy. You have a legitimate reasoning behind your delayed vaccination schedule. Personally, I feel everyone should vaccinate their child/ren, but that is my opinion. I look at as there are people, both young and old, that can't be vaccinated or that have compromised immune systems and if these people get ill from a disease, they could end up hospitalized or even worse. I try not to judge people for their decisions, because in the end, it isn't my decision or my family. I don't agree with people not getting all the facts before making a decision, such as Jenny McCarthy claiming her child developed autism from a vaccine so no one should vaccinate their kids. That just instills fear in people. In the end, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I may keep my children away from unvaccinated kids because even though mine will be vaccinated, the vaccine doesn't work 100% of the time. Only you and your doctor can decide what is right for your child.
The first time someone said something to me about jenny McCarthy re: our vax beliefs/schedules I was legit stumped. I didn't even know her stance! I find it pretty insulting to be told not to believe everything "Jenny says" (you didn't say it) as though those questioning vaxes or coming to non mainstream conclusions are incapable of thinking for themselves.
WAIT A MINUTE...are you talking about THE Ryan Gosling??? Poppy where you at?? I need backup here...
Yeah, he just doesn't do it for me. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's because he's so pretty. Also I find a complete lack of chest hair kind of disturbing. He's just really NMS.

Eek you're on your own! I don't even like getting lettuce on my toasted subs because it gets all slimy and gross when it's heated up

Baby bows - I agree with a lot of the other posters that the little ones are adorable. I put them on my daughter until she started taking them off. It drives me nuts to see the enormous ones that are seriously the same size as a kid's head.
UO - I think there are way too many "princess" themed clothes for little girls. I refuse to buy my daughter anything with crowns and the "I'm a princess" sayings on it. I don't like the message it sends (however, I don't feel as much of a loathing for Disney Princesses or Sofia the First).

Here's a UO: I don't think it makes you progressive, open-minded, or feminist to encourage your boy to play with girl toys or your girl to play with boy toys. I think buying them both and letting them pick what they want is fine, but if you're secretly proud when they go for the "other gender" toy and quietly disappointed when they choose to play with gender-traditional things, you're just as guilty of trying to put them in a box as parents who do the opposite.
My UO (or maybe it's a confession): After all the scary personal security stuff that has happened on TD, it kills me when people post pictures of themselves ALL.THE.TIME. on here. I get the random HDBD post or whatever, but seriously? Every single day? There are still creepers that lurk over here and can see that stuff. And really, if you're posting pictures of yourself every day, it's extremely AWish and you're going to get a side eye from me.
@honeylemon - I get what you are saying, but there is nothing wrong with posting pics in posts related to posting pics.
Yes, I am guilty of posting two posts this week that required photos. Both were to liven the board up and to have a little fun. I see nothing wrong with posting pics of our 38-40+ week bellies, and also the pre-pregnancy post was more than just photos. It was a list of GTKY questions, so again, not really anything out of the norm. Both posts were very active because people enjoyed it. As far as the safety of the photos, no one is holding a gun to anyone's head forcing them to post pics. If someone wants to steal my photos, go right ahead. I am not all that exciting nor am I that attractive, so if someone really wants to act like me, then more power to them! As the old saying goes: "Mockery is the best form of flattery."
Well, as the 3rd busiest board on GBCB I don't really think we need much livening up but even still, there are ways to do it without looking like you're creating threads just to show off pictures of yourself. Also, sure there is nothing wrong with posting pictures in posts relating to posting pictures, but you post them in threads where nobody else is. It does scream AW a little bit.
But you don't have to defend yourself - you do you, it's just it might attract some side-eyes.

I think I'm outspoken about my pro vaxx views and sticking with the schedule, but that's because I know there are people out there like your daughter who for some reason can't safely follow the CDC guidelines. I feel like people who choose not to vaccinate for no reason other than they don't want to are thumbing their noses at the luxury of being able to safely make that decision because they live in a 1st world country where most children are vaccinated. They get to make that decision because so many other parents choose to vaccinate, but at the same time they are selfishly putting people at risk who can't get all the vaccines. It makes me angry.

My UO I hate public proposals. Just kinda creepy to me to have people gather around and watch a stranger say yes or no. It's just not as special to me.
Also any dog under 100 pounds full grown is little to me. I love giant breeds.

I don't like all the picture posting threads because I don't feel comfortable posting pictures of myself online and so I can't participate. I don't want the board to become full of those types of posts That's what Instagram is for.
Do you post pictures of yourself every single day or multiple times a day in as many threads as you can get them into? And/or start threads just for the purpose of posting pictures of yourself?
I participate in them usually 99% of the photos used have been onTD already or are HDBD and my face is rare these days :/ I should be more careful but I really don't think I'm someone to steal
Me too, but no I don't think I am excessive. I hope anyway!
Here's another UO from me - I don't get why people try to cheat their GD test. Wouldn't you want to know if you had a condition that, left untreated, could potentially harm your LO? Sure, having GD is a pain in the ass but I'd rather follow a diet for a few months than risk putting my LO in danger.

How do you cheat the test?
Some people think if they eat certain foods before the test or avoid certain foods before the test it will make them more likely to pass. I mean obviously follow your doctors orders if they tell you to fast or tell you not to fast, but other than that follow your normal diet.

Situations like yours are exactly why everyone else should get vaccinated, and on schedule, if they can. Unless your child is at a specific risk (like yours), weighing the pros and cons should be a no-brainer. It seems like most people who go with the "we'll use a delayed schedule" decision are only doing so because they feel like it's some sort of logical middle ground between two extremes, which in this case is just not so, and they often don't realize that there's any risk in delaying.
I hate how much baby boy stuff is sports-themed. DH and I are not into the "major" sports (football, baseball, basketball) at all. I really hope people don't buy us stuff like that.
smilesp We are not sports fans either, and I have managed to not buy 1 sports-themed piece of clothing or item for DS so far. We also only recieved a few sports-themed clothes as gifts from some who don't know us very well. Don't despair, there are plenty of other cute clothes out there!
Sorry to anyone who loves their little companions but I hate little dogs. Okay I don't HATE them, but I really dislike them. I've never met one who can sit, lay down, stay, etc. they're all over the place jumping and yapping and being ugly. Maybe it's the owner, but I've met too many little dogs to tell! The way they bark even pisses me off. Pretty much any of these ugly things. In some cases so ugly they are cute (pug)
+1 for the little dog hatin'! Yes of course there are always exceptions (and I'll agree with PPs who said the beagle doesn't belong here), but as a general rule I'm not a fan of yappy little dogs, and I cringe whenever someone brings one to the dog park (yes I know they have as much right to be there as I do, doesn't mean I have to like it). I think little dogs with underbites are particularly non-cute, and I hate how the white ones always look a little dirty around the mouth and eyes.
Also people often expect my big (medium? 45lbs) dog to be trouble, truth be told if we're out on a walk and we encounter little dogs they will start yapping and barking and growling their heads off and she usually just stares. Sometimes she will stop in her tracks, but other than having to drag her a little we can get past the little ones without incident while they continue to go apeshit on their side of the street.
I don't like onesies, I think they are useless and would rather use a shirt/shorts/pants from very early on. Once they hit a year I will pretty much refuse to put my kid in them.
I also dislike vaguebooking/vagueposting, because well I'm nosy as crap.
copilot2012 I'm Latin so ears get pierced within the first week of life. I am trying to find out how to get it done here in Belgium because here it's not as common and I want the dr to do it.
Also, sorry for never getting back at your PM on the dump, I saw it only a couple of days ago. Oops!

shmee - I agree. My old doctor told me to not consume anything sugary for the 2 days leading up to the test. And guess what? I failed both times my 1-hour because of it. My 3-hr I passed with flying colors because I ate what I normally eat. My body could not handle that sudden rush of sugars after two days of no sugar, hence, causing me to fail. Everyone's body processes sugar differently, and as mentioned the test is to see if you have GD to protect you and your child.
I loved being team green when I had my shower because I didn't get a bajillion outfits because people didn't want to buy yellow and green. I get that outfits are cute but practically speaking it was way better to get more useful stuff.
This might not be too UO but I think female deodorant smells like flowery butt hole. I wear men's deodorant.
I used to wear men's, now I switched to primal pit paste which I love, and I use the Lemonade or Orange Creamsicle kids scents (same strength as the adults) and I love it!

Vaccine rates in 3 world countries, like mine, are actually higher because we know those diseases actually kill people. For example the MMR vaccine has a 91% vaccination rate in the US and in most countries in South America it has a 98% vaccination rate.
I am pro vax, but I always get flamed for not following the CDC schedule. Here in Belgium we follow a different schedule and we don't have 9 month old shots for example, but we get them all., with exception of the chicken pox and flu vaccine
