melody330, I mean you never know what could be hiding in there. Lol.
In the same vein, DD has decided that socks are for cleaning not wearing. If she could vocalize, she'd probably tell everyone else that they're doing it wrong.
Another one since I'm watching the news this morning. I don't think celebrities should open their mouths about 90% of the social issues they talk about. I'm sorry, but how can you expect me to take you seriously about donating to a cause when the outfit you're wearing costs more than everything in my closet? If it's that important to you, don't live in a 30million dollar home and donate some more of your cash.
In the spirit of this weekend ahead... I hate Valentines Day. I would much rather have DH surprise me with a fancy dinner and some chocolates any other day of the year than to pay 3 times as much for it this weekend. We have a couple's "spa day" gift card to use that we got as a wedding gift, and thought this weekend might be nice since we'll be around (for once)... The place was going to charge us $50 EXTRA just because its Valentines weekend. No. Thank. You.
Belly buttons are evil and scary. He has always known he had one, but at bath time yesterday there was water in it and he freaked the hell out!
I am like weirdly obsessed with my kids belly button, it's so weird looking because he has a hernia and a granuloma. When he figures out his belly button is evil and scary I'm going to have to agree with him.

Agree and also we don't care who you're voting for because your other life choices aren't exactly admirable. If I was running for president and some loony celeb endorsed me I'd be like thanks but no thanks.
UO: I don't want my husband to EVER surprise me with anything, vday, Christmas, any regular day. He's the worst at spending money on things he could probably get elsewhere for half the price and we don't have the money for that crap. A present from him gives me more anxiety then joy so we just do things together as gifts to each other.

We are the same way, although DH has gotten better. He is the spendthrift and I'm the one who'd rather have money in my retirement account than a gift. We've have a few moments of him giving me gifts and I'm pretending to be excited while thinking "WTF I do not need a $300 necklace..."
Thankfully we're pretty much over giving gifts to each other besides what the other person asks for and going out to eat.

Popular! No desire whatsoever to do anything remotely V-Day related out and about.

DH and I don't do anything for Valentine's Day. We have a standing agreement that its basically just another day for us and we never do anything special. Everyone now and then he will get me a card, or maybe one from DS. I don't mind the holiday in general, but we just don't celebrate it.
Speaking of venereal disease day. I always volunteer to work that weekend because I make obscene amounts of money and that means more to me than going out to an overpriced dinner with MH. My boss actually tried to give me off Saturday night, and I was like nu-uh. We've been closed for a month and a half, a lot of the membership hasn't heard that I'm pregnant, and I'm going to milk these mother's for all of their cash while they're with their significant others. Nothing makes you look better than giving a big tip to the pregnant chick.

melody330, my mom is scared of belly buttons. She can't touch hers and if you touch yours in front of her, she freaks out. I guess it's like nails on a chalkboard for her.
ginabini, we rarely celebrate Valentine's Day. And if we do, we do something the weekend before or after to avoid the overly priced stuff and crowds. Now that we have a kid, Valentine's Day is basically us giving each other a handful of our favorite candy - not romantic but give me all the candy any day!
beebe918, my H and I basically tell each other what we want for holidays. And we only exchange gifts for bday and Christmas/Hanukkah. We give something small for our anniversary, and that is the only thing that's a surprise.
DH got me flowers the other month when morning sickness was really getting to me and that means way more to me then getting something on Vday. I've never been a huge Vday fan. I will however get my kids stuff because my 5 year old is super excited and "secretly" made me a card already, so adorable.

I don't like jewelry and one of the first things I told H 10 years ago when we started dating was to never buy me jewelry. I don't wear any kind of jewelry at all.
H and I both don't wear wedding rings. H did give me an engagement ring but it is sitting in its box in my nightstand.

OMG it's soooo annoying..this is why we stopped going out on Valentines Day. Our anniversary is Feb 19 so I think from now on (it's our one year this year) we will just combine the two and celebrate on our anniversary.

I'm the same way! I hate jewelry and told DH he lucked out b/c I'll never expect or want him to buy me jewelry for any occasion. He did buy me my DREAM engagement ring and we have wedding bands, but I only wear the rings when we go out of the house for something. My DH hasn't taken his off since we got married.

This is me! I wear my engagement ring and wedding band. That's it. I don't even have my ears pierced!

I hate Valentine's Day. Mostly because my birthday is the day before, and it royally screws me over for getting to do anything fun (especially if my birthday falls on the weekend), because they jack up the prices for hotels, restaurants and a bitch to get into, and even flights are more expensive. My husband falls into the same issue, as his falls on Thanksgiving week every year (this year, his 40th birthday actually fell on Thanksgiving). DD is lucky, her's is the day before Halloween...and that isn't centered around restaurants, flying to see family, or staying at hotels....so we see no price difference there. And this baby will be mid-July, so no holidays there either. Lucky ducks!
This doesn't really apply to now since it's winter but I think people who don't wear helmets when riding a motorcycle are idiots. Especially if they're driving on busy roads.
I don't mind Valentines Day, but I would rather do something special together to celebrate instead of the whole gifts/expensive dinner. I don't like that men are expected to get their significant others flowers, chocolates, etc. Get me flowers randomly just because you were thinking of me or wanted to surprise me, not because you feel like you HAVE to due to a dumb holiday.

It makes me livid to see people on motorcycles not wearing helmets. I used to live in PA, and there is no law saying you have to wear a helmet (can't believe there is not), but it's just so stupid. You fall off, and there is a good chance you are dead.
It also pisses me off when I see kids riding bikes without a helmet. It's so dangerous, and I know it's a law in some states. I know parents say well my kid won't wear one. I say, no helmet, no bike. We established that rule the first day my son got on his strider bike, and he's only 2 but knows helmet first.

There's no law here either on helmets and 50% of the people I see don't wear them. Yet it's a law you have to wear your seatbelt. Makes no sense!
I'm big on bike helmets too. Everyone always makes fun of me because I wear one. I'm not taking the chance of getting knocked unconscious while riding alone with the kids! Maybe I'm crazy.

glaze, yep H and I wear helmets too. My husband wouldn't, but I make him. I tell him it's a good example for DS. And my aunt is a pretty serious biker and was in a crash years ago where had she not been wearing a helmet, she probably would have died. I don't look that cool without the helmet so adding the helmet isn't hurting my look too much!
