This is probably really flammable. I don't care that in many Asian countries people eat cats and dogs. I do think it's terrible how poorly the animals are treated in many cases. Animal cruelty should absolutely be stopped wherever possible. But what makes the life of a dog any more valuable than a pig? Why is horsemeat shocking but not deer meat?
Just because the animals are domesticated here, doesn't mean that owning them for meat elsewhere is inherently terrible. Something tells me that even if they were selling organic, chicken-fed, free-range dog meat, lobbiests in North America would still try to shut the operation down.
DD1 has turned into the asshole 3 year old at home. The attitude and back talk are really starting to irritate me. I have implemented consequences(no princess movie, etc.) It's been bad this week when we get home from daycare and in the mornings getting ready. I had told her starting on Tuesday she needed to shape up or no grocery shopping tonight. This usually works, but had made no difference this week. I went at lunch today and got the groceries home and put away and back to work. DH thinks I'm a little harsh, I'm sick of being talked to that way. It's great that she behaves in public, but the at home stuff is out of hand.

Ugh, I find everything about the Duggars repulsive. I'm mildly interested in families with a million children in a "watching a living nightmare" kind of way, but the way they raise their kids and their beliefs about men and women are appalling. I assumed anyone who watches them was hate-watching - but people sincerely enjoy them? Does not compute.

Oh, this reminds me of a genuine UO that I meant to put in my "for the next UO thread" spreadsheet.
I can't get worked up over what Michael Vick did to the point of wanting him thrown in jail/banned for life from the NFL/etc.

Nevermind, I never want to meet you because I would punch you in the face for this opinion
I don't know if this is an UO but it's my vent. I hate when people say they have a Christmas baby and their baby was born in 12/26. No you don't...you have an around Christmas baby. Mine was born on 12/25 so I have a Christmas baby...12/24 can say Christmas baby too.

I can honestly say I have never ever thought about this so I for the first time in history I have no opinion.

I was with you until I got to the bolded. There is no difference between 12/24 and 12/26 in their proximity to Christmas so if a 12/26 can't be a Christmas Baby, then neither can 12/24.
But I'd totally call my baby a Boxing Day Baby if I had a baby on 12/26 anyway.

this is weird
either lock your strange rule down to one day or not. 24th is fine but 26th is not makes no sense.

I don't think this is flammable. I agree.
Along those lines, I disagree with pro-horse activists who have successfully kept "wild" horses protected in the US...they are not native and really bad for ecosystems.
I just was on GOMI and ended up on some fashion blogger from Utah's website...all I can say is that I think wearing 4 inch heels is insane in general, but when you are 8 month pregnant (no wait, 9)...you are fucking insane. This chick wears minidresses and heels for every post. I am lucky to not wear maternity jeans 7 days a week - the days I don't wear them I am wearing yoga pants. It's just unnatural to wear stilettos when you are that far along.
lol, I am only partially as passionate as I sound about this.
I intend to never stop wearing my maternity yoga pants, so ....
Chickety China the Chinese chicken Chickety China the Chinese chicken Chickety China the Chinese chicken Chickety China the Chinese chicken Chickety China the Chinese chicken Chickety China the Chinese chicken Chickety China the Chinese chicken
I have a friend who thought the line was, "Chicken vagina..." something. The day he sang that I almost fell over from laughing so hard.
Also, you all know that it's actually "Chicken from China is a Chinese chicken..." Right?
Lies. It is definitely "chickety China, the Chinese chicken." There is no "from" in there.
This reminds me of an ongoing argument my BFF and I have about "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. She swears the lyric is "I know Saint Peter will call my name" but she is definitely wrong. It's Saint Peter WON'T call my name.

I can't get worked up over what Michael Vick did to the point of wanting him thrown in jail/banned for life from the NFL/etc.
See, and when I hear people are all Eagles obsessed, I immediately add an asterisk in my mental spreadsheet. I do the same for Steelers fans, because of Rapistberger. Or the rest of them who are also criminals.
Right, so, not a fan of what either of these guys did. But Vick's punishment seemed way out of line with the level of wrongdoing, especially when compared to Roethlisberger (or Ray Rice until there was video, or Ray f***ing Lewis, etc. etc.)

Please elaborate. I had to look this up (had no idea who he was because I don't watch sports). Do you think he shouldn't have gone to jail at all or do you think it's ok that the NFL let him keep playing once he got out? I get not trying to further punish those who have served their time, but he definitely deserved to serve the time he did.

DS suffers enough with a 12/27 bday, and now he can't even call himself a Christmas baby

That's because Roethlisberger, Rice, and Lewis weren't punished ENOUGH. Not because Vick was punished too harshly.
They are all dirtbags.
BTW sorry if my original response to you was mean, I like you but I can't get behind wanting more leniency for Michael Vick. The man is a monster for what he did (and I'm not saying rapists and wife beaters aren't).

Like the ones in Corolla, NC? They're the only ones I'm familiar with. I think they're neat but I don't know what their effect on the environment is.
There are tons out west. They overgraze prairie and change plant communities, compete with native species, etc.
I'm not familiar with the herd in NC but there is a herd on an island here in GA that people loooove.
I always thought they were neat until I learned more about them. It totally ruined the lovely image of wild horses roaming free across the grasslands! Knowledge sucks, lol.
"Watchin' X-Files with no lights on, we're dans le maison, I hope the Smoking Man's in this one. Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic, like Sting I'm tantric, like Snickers guaranteed to satisfy."
I have a thing for wordplay, so I love that song. I also love Tubthumping by Chumbawamba.
Now, if anyone defends Smash Mouth, we have a problem.
How is wordplay related to Tubthumping? lol
It's not. It's related because it's another annoying song I love from that era.
