I don't think UO means what you think it means....
UO= unpopular opinion. This would be the opinion of my husband and how he thinks I'm forgetful. I have a hard time lying so instead of telling him...I confessed here. I got it out. I know it's not your typical UO.I guess I could've waited for the confessions tom but that would be old news.
Wut? So you do know that UO=Unpopular Opinion but you still apparently don't know what it means...literally nothing in your OP was either an opinion or could be interpreted in any way to be unpopular. I don't get it.
Eta: here's a suggestion for when you have a confession on Thursday. Wait until Friday and say "FFFC: yesterday I left my garage doors open for the third time this week. I didn't tell my husband." That way, you aren't just saying random things that don't at all align with the UO thread in any way.

Re: showers for second children - this is totally a regional thing. I get eye-rolly at pearl-clutching because it's very traditional in some areas. It really depends on what is being celebrated (much like bridal showers for second weddings) - if it's about celebrating the mother in a time of transitioning roles, then another shower isn't appropriate. If it's about welcoming the new baby, then NBD. However, in either instance, the mother-to-be shouldn't be throwing it for herself, and that will always be a breach of etiquette.
Re: thongs. Commando all the way. Very freeing. Jeans are perfectly comfortable. I hate when I have to wear underwear and it's another excuse to avoid dresses.
Re: small dogs. Big or small, some dogs are assholes. Some dogs are poorly trained. Some dogs are annoying or needy. I don't have a big dog because I have neither the time nor the space nor the interest. I love my schnauzer. Supposedly, he's a mini, but he's well above breed standards for a miniature. Not quite big enough for a standard. But he's the best dog ever.
Re: what people say to you about ttc. Like joy, in the middle. You can't control your initial reaction to poorly phrased things, but in the past, I've seen people (I've been people) who take things very personally where it is clear nothing mean was intended. That doesn't mean it can't hurt, but if it's festering, then I don't think it's insane to look at where it came from and put it into perspective. Now, having said that, I suck at this advice. It doesn't mean it's not still good advice though. Believe me, I heard any number of things after my son died that made me foam at the mouth with insta-rage, and believe me, I know how the sting of a thousand small cuts and unintentional jabs can leave you bleeding everywhere. But there is a point at which you have to get over it or push the hurt away or become bitter. I'm at that place with my work right now. It's never easy, no matter what it is. But if you can't change the situation (people saying thoughtless or insensitive things), then the only thing you can hope to change is your reaction. And there is no magic pill for that.

Your right. Made absolutely no sense at all. Sorry for messing up the flow!
My UO is at myself. This is the third time this week that I left the garage door and door to my house wide open. WTH is wrong with me! The worst part is, you can see the inside of my house from the main rd. I'm surprised we haven't gotten robbed. I'm def not telling my husband this time...esp after he reminded me to shut the doors today! Ugh!
You know this is a FFFC or WTF, not a UO.
A UO would be like: I see no problem leaving my garage open all day while I am at work. (This is not true for me, just an example).
Um. No. I have a large dog but small dogs are adorable. Wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG.
Small dogs have always been used as hunting breeds, i.e. beagles. Schnauzers and Doxies have been used for rat and badger hunting as well. Just because they aren't necessarily used for that now, doesn't mean they are pointless. I have a bird dog, two in fact, but I have no intentions of using them for that purpose. They do about as much as people I know with little dogs, which is lay around and enjoy life. Also not pointless.
Small dogs are also used frequently used as service animals and companionship for the elderly. Again, not pointless.
Late to the game, but THIS. I have a mini doxie and a boykin. My doxie has the better nose for sniffing out stuff to flush or for the boykin to retrieve. And pets aren't just valuable to their owners because of their size or "usefulness". I didn't pick my dogs solely for what they can do for me.

Yes, I am aware. I have participated in this thread the correct way in the past. Totally didn't make sense..I get it. My brain has been foggy this week...hence leaving my doors wide open. I apologized in my last post.
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
UO: You're not a vegetarian if you eat chicken or fish. You just don't eat red meat.
My father apparently struggled with this concept for years. He finally gave up the ghost when he remarried and starting hunting again and couldn't pretend anymore.
Dont like gym rats who wear see thru clothing and visible thong!!!! I don't want to see that! Not cute! And wearing a thong to workout in, can not be comfortable!
People wear those for workouts?!?
yes! at least at my gym. mind you, i live in california.
hippojoy @kemye13 lazyreader dont get me wrong ladies, I wear thong regularly. but to the gym??? i mean im sweaty when I leave gym, so that just cant be comfy!!!
I wear a thong to the gym unless I'm wearing shorts with the built-in underwear. When I get sweaty all of me gets sweaty, so underwear is required, and I usually have on stretchy pants so it needs to be a thong. None of my thongs are the least uncomfortable, sweaty or not.
I guess Im just weird. I wear my most hideous undies and most unattractive sweats and long shirt to the gym. People probably think the same of me

I don't think thongs are ever comfortable. I only wear one if I know I'm going to take it off right away. Now, your talkin! My DH would say the same!

Can't feel thong when it fits properly. Never get a wedgie. Nothing to wedge.
Yes, lol!! nothing to wedge! I can wear them daily just not the gym!
My UO: I have no interest in the new Magic Mike movie. I didn't like the first and don't think Channing Tatum is that great looking. I like the dancing but that's about it.
FFTC? I didn't even see the first magic mike movie
I only watched it because someone else had it on and we were at their house. DH puts it on and constantly asks if its making me hot.

I couldn't agree more! The show about nothing! My husband watches it daily and hysterically laughs through the whole thing. I don't get it. I find the show annoying.
UO= unpopular opinion. This would be the opinion of my husband and how he thinks I'm forgetful. I have a hard time lying so instead of telling him...I confessed here. I got it out. I know it's not your typical UO.I guess I could've waited for the confessions tom but that would be old news.
Wut? So you do know that UO=Unpopular Opinion but you still apparently don't know what it means...literally nothing in your OP was either an opinion or could be interpreted in any way to be unpopular. I don't get it.
Eta: here's a suggestion for when you have a confession on Thursday. Wait until Friday and say "FFFC: yesterday I left my garage doors open for the third time this week. I didn't tell my husband." That way, you aren't just saying random things that don't at all align with the UO thread in any way.
Or use the sparkly new randoms thread that bunny started.

Was actually going to...but came here instead. It just makes sense with the kind of day I had. Fail #5 of the day! I just need to go to bed.

Sorry, I thought it might be. Most of the "vegetarians" I know eat chicken/fish.
I call myself a flexitarian. I'll eat bacon and sometimes fish, but I rarely eat meat. It's a funny label I'll put on it since people are funny when you say you don't eat chicken, beef, turkey, ect.

My friend tried to "convert" me in college.
NOPE.
My husband just turned it on when I wasn't paying attention. I totally just channeled the "Steve Carrel NO gif." Let's just say it worked and we are now watching something else.
So? No one would judge you if you took a minute or two for yourself.
Didn't someone once suggest a quick, at work O for stress management or something? I feel like it wasn't for stress though, but something more strange. Halp!
I don't like thongs. I like to say "all the things" after ALL THE THINGS! Pugs are all over the internet, clothing, posters, stationary etc. I don't get it. They look like they shrunk in the wash. I think small dogs in general are pointless, it's like having a ferret on a leash. You want a dog, get a labrador. Starbucks coffee is nasty.
Edit - I have no strong feelings toward ferrets and am a cat person so not really a fan of dogs in general.
UO - Labradors are also overrated.
Being on the board of directors for a large pug rescue, I will say that yes... your opinion sucks. I hope that one day pugs take over this world and that you will realize NOT to judge a book by its cover.
