We did confessions; how about unpopular opinions?

[catbus]

Because I'm kind of bored. Share your UOs!

I'm staying in fairly safe territory. I think the Rockabye rockers are ugly. (Brought to you by a friend gushing about them because they're on Zulily today.)


I also think Anywhere Chairs are ridiculously overpriced and not that cute. 

[ijack]

I hate donuts.

[thebreakfastclub]

I really don't care for Thanksgiving food. Stuffing makes me gag.

[MamaMaui24]

I think shaved, styled baby mohawks are stupid.

I don't particularly like Thanksgiving food, either. And I think pie is the suck jest form or dessert.

I don't want to live in a world where this is an unpopular thought.

Suck jest = suckiest. Autocorrect.

I feel the same about all of this.

I hate beer, wine and most other alochols

[emilyinchile]

I think a large part of why I have trouble coming up with unpopular opinions is that I am so sure that my opinions must be correct because they are mine

[catbus]

Ha. This was totally supposed to be on MMM. LOL. I can throw down way better stuff for the main board, just give me a minute... 

[catbus]

I still don't think jenny1980's food thievery was that bad.

I love Orla Kiely bags.

I don't think it's career suicide for a woman to carry a nylon messenger bag (like Timbuk2) for commuting.

I don't "get" Starbucks. It took me almost a year to use up a $25 SB GC that a CW gave to me for Christmas.

I don't understand the point of mascara if you already have dark lashes.

I'll be happy to take your starbucks gift card next time. I got daily and I "get" starbucks.

And well, black mascara makes it look like you have more and longer lashes. It doesn't matter that they are already dark.

I have long, dark lashes but they look better curled. Mascara holds that curl and fills them out. That said, I do have to be picky about my mascara because anything lengthening tends to result in lash tracks under my eyes.

I figured when I saw your first post.  I stuck to a MMM UO!

I don't like coffee. Tea is my preferred caffeine vehicle. I love Starbucks.

I'm just bitter because I have the worst luck with mascara. Honestly, the worst. I've just convinced myself that I don't need it.

it must be nice

I don't think offering defined benefit retirement plans for government employees makes sense.

For the tax payers?  Yeah they totally don't.  But since I have one it makes sense for me.  <)

I have dark lashes that don't need lengthening.  I use mascara mostly because having a little bit of extra black at the base of my lashes helps my eyeliner blend in.  I'm bad at drawing lines.

I also don't get Starbucks.

I DO own a Timbuk2 computer bag... but also? You live in Seattle. That might have something to do with your mind set about Timbuk2!

I don't understand why parents take their kids to the emergency room for a high fever. Fevers are normal. Unless there is some secondary condition, trouble breathing, severe headache, etc., it's not an emergency.

I honest think expecting your kids to pay for college on their own is morally reprehensible.

Also? I hate Outlander.

its suitable for both MM and MMM

not every childhood medical ailment requires a visit to the pedi. when i had dd, i joked that i had 25 years of experience watching other peoples' kids when she was born. i had picked up a TON of advice and learned a TON from other peoples' experiences that i used w/ her that kept us OUT of the pedi's office.

You know, I used to like you.


I think it's complete BS that women need a book to tell them how to take initiative.  I'm really over the phrase "lean in."  If you want something, go after it.  Do you really need a book to tell you it's ok to do that?

I'm going to be a snob, because I once made homemade buttermilk ranch that was delicious. Ranch from a bottle or packet?

A very high fever (104+) can indeed cause seizures and brain damage. A fever of 102? No.

I'm still a little devastated that Whitney Houston is dead.

Yep.  That goes along with mine above.  99% of the time my kid has a virus and there is nothing the pedi can do for it.
