I do have an animal related confession though. I think christmas cards with photos of people's pets are annoying as shit. There's an attorney at my company who has 5 lap dogs and he and his wife send out a card every year of the two of them plus all the dogs wearing santa hats. I think of it every time I see him, all throughout the year, and snicker to myself.
it's their family. what is there to snicker about?

This. My dog is my child. If people take pictures of their child and put them on a card then so will I.

I'm lol that now dirty south is claiming she was going through a whole lot of personal turmoil last year that prevented her from getting to the post office. "You guys don't know what I went through! Nobody ever asked!" ....uh, I'm pretty sure if you were going through tough times you'd at least have told your SS recipient, instead of repeatedly insisting you were going to the post office THAT DAY.
But you don't even NEED to actually GO TO the post office. Both USPS and UPS (maybe FedEX, IDK) will come to your house and pick that shit up from you if you print your own label.
What if you don't have a mailbox at your residence? Our mailboxes are at the front of our neighborhood. So, the mail person doesn't come to the residence unless there's a large package to be delivered (small ones are put in a locked box and the key is put in your box).
(I'm not saying this is an excuse for GoDawgs, just something I've wondered about when I have to return an online order via USPS. I usually just go to the post office.)

This is really random, but I don't get the hate a lot of people have for the Atlanta airport. I find it easy to navigate and it has awesome food options.
I agree with this. Now the Miami airport, I fucking hate.
When someone asks how old my kids are, I always say 18. It is clearly a lie, but they are so well-behaved most people just go with it.
So you can't find a joke in there, huh? Shocking. It was said TIC (as were the f/u). I do, however, wear matching smocked dresses with my kid (my son, because he's better looking that my daughter).
Lol, never has a child's name been mentioned so much in an UO thread:) Finley wins best dressed! I also love cats.
Too bad she is at my parents today, so no BOOTD. I packed her bag with only X-mas smocked dresses. So everyone can just envision envisage her in a $70 pillowcase and pity her.
If Pope Francis says "who am I to judge?" regarding the gays, then I can say the same about Phil Robertson. Who am I to judge?
Wait -what? How about who the F is Phil to judge? He might feel entitled to his narrow-minded opinion, but when you're feeding off the teat of the general public as his family is with their massive onslaught of product endorsements and other shameless self-promotion, you also must realize that publicizing your bigoted opinions will have consequences and reactions.

The little gift shop where I work is selling Duck Dynasty merch.
I can't believe they're making money off of selling camo coffee mugs and mason jar cups and tacky-looking black and camo clothes with "Duck Dynasty" silkcreened on them.
I can't believe such objects exist. WTF is going on with the world?
I must have the Grinch's original heart. I saw the photos of the father and daughter recreating the wedding photos before they were posted here and thought it was super AWish. I also read a synopsis of The Fault in Our Stars when it was recommended here and gagged.
Maybe this is more of an irrational irritation than UO but I can't STAND how people use months for their baby's age after 12 months. I seriously saw someone refer to her toddler as 37 months old the other day. I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD THAT IS. Why can't you just say 2 or 2.5 or 3 years old? Why is everything 21.5 months old. 27 months old. 17.5 months old?
In line with this thinking, I have difficulty with something that is completely flammeable. Long story short, friends of ours lost their baby son in Feb 2011, so it will be 2yrs ago this coming Feb. It was and is completely tragic, and I completely understand it is not something one 'gets over'; and I can totally understand marking major anniversaries or indicating holidays are hard. But on their FB pages, both of them commemorate the day the child was born and the day of the death almost every month (e.g. 'it has been 1 yr 8mos since X brightened our lives and joined us' or '17mos ago today was the last time we saw X smile'), and nearly every single posting is about how they visit the grave or see a sign about their child. I will never, every say anything and I know everyone processes pain and loss differently. But it is both heartbreaking and irritating to see their lives still completely revolve around the loss and my first thought is always "please just move on" along with a mental slap to not think that way.
the one girl that is trying to get the diamond water thing started is OUT OF HER MIND. and the art installment? who does this girl think she is?
I wish Andy Cohen would do a Bravo all-star show with all of the crazies. Can you imagine crazy Aviva (RHONY), Ole G Vicky G (RHOOC), and crazy GG (Shahs) on one show? I would die.

This is really sad I used to always say something on the day my brother died, I almost always post something on his birthday. But it would be so painful to say something like that every month. I just can't.
