@cschiano, for the record, I think the zombie housewife costume is rockin'. I am neutral on adults in costumes, though, so there's that.

Damn work getting in the way of knotting again!

I agree with everyone about The Bubbler. Shocking, I know. I also have no interest in getting into her shit again so I'm leaving it at that. 

I hate other people's feet. I like my own because I have cute feet. Even though I have cute feet, I wouldn't include them in a siggy pic ALL UP IN YO' FACE because, ew.

I do not know what a planter's wart is and I do not want to know.

@cschiano - I'm with you on the baseball thing. I couldn't care less. Football and hockey ALL DAY! 

@LivLeighton - I love you and will cheer you up with my twerkin' next weekend. 

@BriSox81 - WE GET IT. You like Breaking Bad! Also, I agree with Liv about Dexter up to season 4. Season 4 was fantastic. And I also hate random defriendings on FB especially when you still interact with the person in some ways. Grow some balls already.

I can't wait for drunken twerk offs. 

And I know you get it. You're just mad cause I don't like Dexter

Confession: If no one mentions me as one of their favorite posters, I'm gonna cry. 

I mean, probably not REALLY cry, but I'll pout. 

No pressure.

Thanks @swazzle and @amapola14 .  I've always been really into Halloween. I think I get it from my dad who has a flair for horror and the dramatic (his yard at this time of year is like a haunted house). 

CLoGreenEyes

@cschiano, my dad loves Halloween too (his birthday is actually the day before, so he feels a strong connection to this season, lol). I used to HATE giving out candy while I still lived with him, though, because he would dress up in a costume with a whole mask and everything, sneak outside to the front of the house, get down on his knees, and ring the doorbell. When I answered, he would rush the door and scream like a deranged lunatic. And even though it happened EVERY SINGLE YEAR for like four years I could never seem to figure out when he was gonna do it! Got me every time!

@swazzle, @livleighton and @brisox81, I will out-twerk all of you, just wait!

Swazzle

Oh my god. 

I think I just figured out my 'Michael Myers is my BFF in my dreams' situation (do you guys remember this or do I need to retell the story?) from reading these posts.

I was about to comment that I'm not big into Halloween and dressing up but my dad dressed up as Michael Myers every single year when I was little -- I totally forgot about that until right now! 

CREEPY. And maybe it all makes sense now. Or maybe it's even more fucked up?

1. @buddysmom80 FALSE.

2. @swazzle Mind. Blown.

Confession/Irrational Irritation:  I get really upset when people say I'm intimidating, aggressive, and mean.  I've actually made a concerted effort to be a LOT nicer within the past year.  I've held my tongue so many times I've lost count.  I've given good advice and have de-escalated a lot of hairy situations on here.  I've been nice to newbies. And a LOT of NEY sayings originated from ME!  An example being engagement pony.  Came from me YEARS ago.  I bring a lot to this board, and I'm not saying I'm perfect, but it hurts me when people act like I'm so awful.

Confession/Irrational Irritation:  I get really annoyed when people automatically associate anything close friends of mine do with me.  And it's happened to me several times on this board.  Just because I'm BFF with someone does not mean that everything she says or does is a reflection of me, or something I automatically endorse.  So don't take it out on me.

I'm stuck in the box.

@loves2shop4shoes, I clarified in the other thread, but I just want to apologize again if I've offended you. I didn't realize it was a sore spot, and I'm sorry for hitting it.

As an aside, I think it's awesome that you made engagement ponies a thing! Didn't know that about you.

Confession: This was fun. Thanks, @Brisox81.

II/UO?: I hate that women poop at work. I would sh*t my self before pooping next to anyone in that building. I get that it is a bodily function, and not everyone can hold it like I can, but jesus I hate being in the room when others are pooping. The worst.

@swazzle Yeah, he is. I think it sounds weird, though. I like calling him my partner. Plus, I figure that by the time I get comfortable calling him my fiance, he'll be my husband and I'll have to start over.

Confession: I honestly enjoy confusing people when I refer to him as my partner, especially when people don't that he's a dude.

Confess: That's reaally the reason you call him your partner ;p

It's not. I NEVER liked calling him my boyfriend. It always made me feel like I was in high school. And it's not like he's suddenly not my partner now that he's also my fiance. He'll still be my partner when we're married, but I'll probably transition into calling him my husband then. The confusion it causes is just a bonus.

Irrational Irritation: A week or so ago bubbles posted about loving Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch and it made me want to scream "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FANDOM!" at the top of my lungs...but I was at work when I saw it so I couldn't. I don't like you and I don't want you to like things I obsess over.

Confession #1: I'm really stressing out about the fact that BF hasn't found a job yet

Confession #2: I really want BF to propose RIGHT NOW! (okay, BSC moment over).

Swazzle

@bethsmiles - I loved your post and you make me smile.

Confession - I cried for 30 minutes last night due to friend issues. My best friend who is impossible to make plans with cancelled our tentative plans for Tuesday. She only lives an hour away but I haven't seem her in months.That happened in the morning. In the evening, my ex-roommate cancelled our double-date plans for Saturday night, claiming her BF has to work. She didn't suggest another night, or just making it a girls night either. I miss being able to depend on my friends :-/

Confession #2 - I wish I could believe BF is planning on proposing by the end of the year. That's what I've been hoping for throughout the past 6 months or so, and he did say "within the year" at the end of the summer, but I just do not see it actually happening that soon. I don't think he's been saving any $ for a ring, and he keeps wanting to put $ into my Etsy business (which I'm grateful for), but I'd also like to think he's at least planning on us getting engaged within the next few months. BSC Rant Over.

UnPop Op - I hate Halloween. I've never had a great time going out as an adult, and I hate the stress of figuring out a costume that is cool or clever or funny AND looks good on me. I've stayed in the past few years and have thoroughly enjoyed avoiding the craziness.

Irritation (not irrational, IMO) - Freaking bubbles. I don't get you. If I tried to join in on a forum and had everyone "attack" me and disagree with me I would stop TRYING to join in. Why do you even bother? Just give up and go away or (and this is what I would do if I were you) - sit back and lurk for a long time (like, several months), and then come back with (yet another) new SN, and try not to say anything that will get you mocked. I just hate when crazy newbs like yourself seem to enjoy this drama.

Okay, back to drinking and waiting for Parenthood to start... 

Carry on.

Confession: I want newbs to say I'm their favorite reg even though 1) I haven't been around much lately (hello Lurky McLurkerson) and 2) I've been a lot more bitchy around here lately than I used to be.

Unpopular op: I don't like dressing up for Halloween. Adults in costumes freak me out. Kids don't bother me, but I'm THRILLED that I'm travelling on 10/31 for work this year, so I can ignore Halloween altogether.

Irrational irritation: Ditto BriSox on the starting an 'ask me anything' and then disappearing. What the?

ETA: RE: Fartbubbler - another excuse with 'waiting until next month to talk to my NP'. CALL HER. Also a confession: I would hate to be called FartTiger, but find Fartbubbler hilarious.

LOL.  I am late to this, but I can't get over "FartTiger".  maybe it is just too early and everything is funny to me...  ??

@bethsmiles My stupid new computer won't let me click the Love it button on your post. I laughed out loud, really loudly. I think I startled my 75 year old dinosaur boss. My goal in life is to scare him so badly that he farts.

@bubbles####### Really, I can't be bothered to remember or look up all those fucking numbers every damn time. Anyhow, did you ever think of maybe, I don't know, LEAVING A FUCKING MESSAGE WITH THE FUCKING NURSE AT YOUR DOCTOR'S PRACTICE??????? They have voice mail, they have these fancy new fandangle message pads, they have a thousand ways to get a message to the NP. Your excuses continue to be invalid. If my 11 yr old made up this many excuses I really don't know what I'd do. And it's kind of in the nature of an 11 yr old to do something like that. How old are you again??? Yeah. Exactly. YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A VERY IMMATURE FUCKING CHILD. JESUS! TAKE THE FUCKING INITIATIVE AND FUCKING DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR FUCKING SELF.

@cschiano That costume is amazing! Really great makeup work.

I'm saddened by the Halloween haters. I love costumes even though I'm being lazy and reusing the Giselle ("Enchanted") costume I made last year.

Irrational Irritation: Every damn time someone bashes ACA, I take it personally. My dad (and stepmom) spent my entire life up to this point, writing it. Literally. So when someone starts going "WAH! I DON'T LIKE IT!" I want to flip my shit and tell them about how my dad barely ever made it home for dinner because he spent so many late nights at the office, writing and rewriting so that these ungrateful fucking bastards could have access to quality and comprehensive health care. But, hey, if you want to die of fucking sepsis from a minor scratch because you can't get treated, be my mother fucking guest.

Trust me, he is aware that it is not perfect. He wanted it to be so much more, but it is a start in the right direction. And I'm mother fucking proud of him fighting for the rights of all people, even those assholes, for the better part of his life.

CASK85

@Beanbot2002, I had no idea your dad was in politics (or associated with law making). IMO so much of the dislike of the ACA seems to come from confusion (largely based on conservative propaganda and scare tactics) about what it means for people. It pisses me off too. Unfortunately having health insurance won't cure people of ignorance. ::insert Chandler Bing "ba dum bum" drums here::

bethsmiles

@Hummingbird125 - I'm not a huge fan of Halloween either. I haven't dressed up in years and enjoy staying in that night. I do like scary movies and carving pumpkins though

beanbot2002

@cschiano Yep! He works for National Association of Community Health Centers as the COO and VP of Policies and Issues. Basically he's a lobbyist, but his orginization helps to open health centers in areas where there are several under and uninsured folks living. He used to run a community health center in the valley in Texas. Then he was recruited by director of HHS in the late 70s and parents moved here. A couple of years later NACHC recruited him, with HHS's blessing, and he's been working with congress ever since. I love him to pieces and could go on and on about him for days. He's a pretty special dude in my book.

Hummingbird125

@bethsmiles - I'm with you on the pumpkins but I hate horror movies - I'm a wimp and do not enjoy being scared!

@beanbot2002 - your dad sounds awesome! I am a big fan of the ACA in general, especially since I'm going to be uninsured come 2014 without it (at least, I'm assuming I'll be able to get/afford coverage that way). Unfortunately, I've found the NY state application confusing/difficult so far and I'm only partway through. For instance - there's a part when I have to select my current insurance provider and then there is a drop down with hundreds of options in no order whatsoever. I've gone through it twice without finding mine, and the chat button didn't work when I needed help, so I'm goi g to try again later!

Hummingbird125

Oh, and I thought of an irrational irritation:

Every time I pick up a prescription at CVS the pharmacist asks me to click "next" on the signature tablet and then sign - BUT THERE IS NEVER A "NEXT" BUTTON - so I just pause waiting for the signature part to come up. I've nicely mentioned to two different pharmacists that "you know, it doesn't actually say 'next'" but they always say it. I get irrationally annoying at this every time.

@beanbot2002 I live in MA and we've basically had a slightly better version of the ACA for years now. My blood boils when people complain about it. I'm one of those people who wants single payer healthcare for everyone, and so I consider the ACA an essential step in the right direction.

beanbot2002

@Phira My dad was very close with Teddy and they wrote a major part of it together during their years working together. My '15 minutes of fame' is hanging out at his house in McLean, VA with my dad. LOL

Confession: My BF emails me a "good morning, i love you" type email every day on his lunch break (i work in a prison and can't bring my cellphone in), and I've kept every single "good morning, i love you" email since we started dating in a special little folder. When I'm having a bad day or just bored, i read through some of them and it makes my day 10x better. Sweet or creepy? I can't decide.

Irrational Irritation. When I pull off on an exit and the car beside me decides,"oh, i better get in the turning lane to go left instead of right" and tries to cut me off. NO. You are not cutting me off just because you can't read the little sign that says which turning lane is which. I WILL speed up so you can't get in front of me.
