unpopular opinions

kikibaby

I'm only on page 4, but I have to say now:  I love Dumb & Dumber, Forrest Gump and Two and a Half Men.

There, I SAID IT.

Not really an opinion.. but I don't really understand why people would have a BB and a regular cell phone? Unless of course the BB is given to you by your company and they pay for it and blah blah blah. But, I have a BB and it works just find as a phone & for email.

Oh ok. I hate all wedding shows so that would by why I don't know who that is.

Jayjoe - I have never personally dealt with that, but it sounds really effing obnoxious.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: unpopular opinions : I don't think they're ugly by any means, I just don't like them. I made the decision not to try any on and I actually found my dress on the first day, 4th dress. I can see wanting to try them because you never know what would look good on you; my own dress was picked out by my SIL and I wasn't too keen on it on the rack. As soon as I put it on, I knew it was the perfect dress.

To be fair, I probably would have said, "no strapless dresses" if I didn't know that it was pretty easy to add straps. But obviously I'm glad I didn't say that.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: unpopular opinions : I don't feel this is an unpopular opinion. I feel like my opinion on this is unpopular though. I don't measure my worth at all from my work so when I become a SAHW I'm not going to feel guilty at all. Most people (especially in this country) feel guilty if they take a vacation that's too long even if they're great employees. I feel like work just gets in the way of my life and I can't stand it. I also hear a lot of people say "What would you do all day?" The question is what wouldn't I do? I would do everything I want to do. I would be in more dance classes, spending time with my dog, painting, decorating, cleaning my house which is a task with the hours I work, cooking, gardening, and yes even watching tv. I just don't know how people could be bored having freedom and I'm not going to feel bad when I'm not working. GPB: This isn't an attack against you. Just wanted to add a S/O opinion off yours
Posted by L-Bride[/QUOTE]

You'd think so, wouldn't you LBride.  But I can tell you from the last 3ish years experience, that's not what happens.  You end up doing a whole lot of butt sitting, TV watching and internetting.  Sometimes you'll go out and have coffee with someone, but most of the time not.  Sure you've got all that time, but YOU'VE GOT ALL THAT TIME.  So you put things off, you take more time to do stuff.  So you lay off, and it takes you a little longer and then a little bit longer to get stuff done.  Definitely not what you think it is.

I got to work the day that she broke her neck.  It was interesting because they shot it backwards.  She was laying on the stool and the Clint yanked her by her arm.  In the movie they just showed that backwards.  Cool...

I don't understand why people who don't need BB's have BB's. The president of a bank, yes. My 19 year old sister, no.

[QUOTE]I would not be surprised if Hilary Swank came out as a lesbian. But yeah, she was cute in Buffy: "Get out of my facial!" L-Bride, I completely understand and respect your opinion. I just know a lot of SAHWs that cook and clean, and then sit around and watch TV all day while their husbands struggle to pay the bills. In that instance, I feel like they should get off their a$s and help financially. But if you're in a position where you don't have to work, then more power to you.

Dude.  I would never be a SAHW if we couldn't afford it.  And I don't even watch TV so there's that.  I think that's a bizarre generalization about SAHW.

Yeah, I've noticed that when I have a LOT of free time (like between jobs), I get as much done as when I don't have a lot of free time. So... I agree that the extra free time is likely to be spent with TV watching.

Actually, H loves his job.  If we won the lottery, I couldn't see him not doing what he does because it is who his is.  Cripes, we can't go on vacation without him staring at bridges and roads and evaluating them.  For the record, apparently we crossed 3 orange bridges on our last road trip.

That's just my experience with the SAHWs I know. I never said every SAHW was like that.

I can't stand if when people use text shortcuts when they are not texting someone. I feel so stupid because the people on here use a lot of them I don't know.

I think our education system is circling the toilet right now and might home school my kids when I have some. -I am a teacher by the way...

I don't understand why the general public needs a say in things they don't understand. Don't we elect the smart people to runs things for a reason...they actually know what they are doing and have a better chance of being successful than the person who barely graduated from high school. Thus being said, why do parents get away with telling principals and teachers how to do their jobs? Who went to college again...oh yeah, I remember, not you so please stop talking. -In case you read this far, no I don't think every parent is uneducated, but they should not be thought of as the experts in something they didn't spend years studying
