Re: Anyone up for UO post?

  • Here is my unpopular opinion: I hate the smell of scented laundry detergent and ever more so, fabric softener. I just think that clean clothes shouldn't smell like anything. When I am out in public and I can smell fabric softener radiating off of someone, it makes me feel like I am going to puke.

  • I don't understand the use of paper towels in your home bathroom. I thought everyone used a cotton towel. I know now paper towels are being marketed for home use.

    We started using free and clear detergent over a year ago and now I'm the same way as you!

    • I wasn't really impressed with Fogo de Chao and everyone seems to rave over it.
    • I also wasn't impressed with Robert Andrew's spa and everyone seems to rave over it.
    • I hate when people who never go to church and don't even belong to a church get married in a church or baptize their kids in a church. I can see the reasoning behind having their child baptized but then it makes no sense to me when they don't go to church after that event.

    I really liked a couple of the things at Fogo, but it wasn't worth the price at all IMO.

    What you said about church is exactly why we didn't get married in a church or baptize DS even though some family members wished we did.

    Yeah, I think my favorite things were the fried bananas, popovers and one of the fruit salads which were probably the cheapest things to make.

    Same here. My mom kind of gave me a guilt trip for not having my kids baptized but I would have felt like such a hypocrite to go and join a church just to have the baptism and then never go again (like so many people I know have done). Its complicated for me because I grew up splitting my time between a catholic church and a protestant one and never really feeling like either one was right for me. When they are a little older I will look into finding a church that is a good fit for all of us.

    There was one steak that I could have eaten a ton of it was so good, but the rest...meh. And I couldn't eat a ton because it only came by every so often. But for someone like my friend who ate plate after plate of everything and loved every bite, it'd be worth it (we were there for his birthday, so it made sense).

    I went for several months for regular facials leading up to my wedding and at the time all of my waxing.  Now it's inconvenient for me to go because it is kind of out of my way.  The girl I was going to was amazing, but I thought the spa could use some updating.  I love About Faces in Annapolis.  I go there for all of my services now and love everything about that place.  The spa is much smaller, but services have been amazing so far.

    I don't really like it either. My friend used to work there, so I would get a deal and she did my wedding make-up. But for $60 the pedicure wasn't the best.

    Yeah, it better be amazing. I find that whenever I've gone to expensive spas for manis/pedis the polish usually chips off faster for some reason. I'll stick to my $30 place.
