    I couldn't agree more.  I can't stand seeing the pictures.  It just upsets me and makes me cry.  Then I can't get the images out of my head ugh.  I am quite aware animal abuse happens and people need to be aware, but please don't give me the details and graphic images on it!

    I follow/have friended several local dog boutiques and whole food/organic dog food companies and I see this stuff over and over and over. And then I have friends that post things too. In fact, I started this morning looking at a pitbull in incredibly bad shape. :(

    Agreed. It is sickens me to see those poor animals. I can't help but start imagining what kind of pain they must be in, what kind of fear and loneliness they must be feeling. It breaks my heart, but it's not going to make me drop everything I'm doing to forward the cause. I already do what I can when I can; posting those graphic images does nothing but turn my stomach and make me cry.

  • Dry shampoo does not equal clean hair.

    Agreed! But, I do like it for gym mornings since there is no point I'm showering until after. It also is great if you're curling for an updo. Makes more volume at the roots... I rarely used it for it's intended purpose.

    AMEN.... I almost posted something at the beginning of the week saying that exact thing bc I'm so sick of seeing those pics. It breaks my heart and I can't take it. I wrote a nasty letter to the SPCA once bc they kept sending me a letters with pics and fairly graphic stories about abused animals. I told them they didn't need to send that crap out to get support and they'd never see another dime from me. I support what they do in saving animals but it angered me that they used the "shock" value. It's hard enough for me to see/read that, but what if a child had picked it up? All that to say, I totally agree with this UO! :) hot topic with me lol...

  • @Panderp & @RockABye I feel those feels. When we were looking into adopting a dog, we went to the local humane society. I cried for two hours afterwards. And it's a no kill shelter with very good conditions... I just can't fathom why someone would abuse, neglect, or give away an animal, and those "guilt people to donate with cruel pictures/stories" kill me. And now I'm tearing up.

    So YAY Christmas music and other happy stuff!

  • I think it's complete bullshit that people aren't flipping out about the government shut down. I feel like everyone just accepted the fact that grown men are behaving like infants, and they are just getting away with it. The fact that local police have to guard the U.S.S. Constitution because the Navy can't do it right now is absurd.
    I just said almost the exact same thing to my boss yesterday!!

  • I hate gender reveal parties where the couple already knows the sex. In general, I think they can be a fun, exciting way to find out together with your friends and family... But if you already know, it's just a little too AW-y for me.
    I absolutely agree with this. I'm also not sure I'm supportive of them after the first child.

    I was going to post the same thing. It seems so odd how AW-y having a baby is anymore. Fancy gender reveal parties, multiple baby showers, multiple maternity photo shoots, monthly infant photo shoots, elaborate 1st bday parties... But then again I'm not a fan of being the center of attention, so my view is a bit biased.
