He shows love for me every day and I figured it was nonsense to buy each other gifts for no other reason than a "holiday". <br />Car dealerships are on the top of my list of places that cause me angst and anxiety.Terra Heckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01528404663373917950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-83954064842999968962019-03-25T18:40:21.587-05:002019-03-25T18:40:21.587-05:00That last gif made me laugh.

I was really glad when restaurants in MI finally started having no smoking at restaurants altogether, instead of the "smoking or non?" idea.<br />We did go on a date during the month of February so I consider that we did "celebrate Valentine's Day"<br />It's super super culturally unacceptable to take a baby out before they're a month old here. I distinctly remember having to take Cyrus out when he was ten days old to get his passport photo--being so sick and in so much pain because the doctors still hadn't figured out what was wrong with me (the first meds they tried didn't work)--and being scolded by a tiny elderly lady because neither baby nor I should be out so soon after birth. And I was like...yeah, I don't want to be here, either. I wouldn't have totally been cool with staying home for a month. But after that, I like taking him places. I do think that taking him to school every day since he was a month old has been the reason for his occasional sickness---kids are so full of germs.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-75633358899028410042019-03-25T17:34:46.986-05:002019-03-25T17:34:46.986-05:00My brother was so weird about the horses during th...My brother was so weird about the horses during the winter. He kept locking them up when it got below freezing. I kept telling him my dad NEVER locked them up unless it was like NEGATIVE 30.... animals are made for cold.. heck, WE'RE made for cold.<br />YES - the home inspection can be the biggest joke - which is a shame because people really rely on it hoping for trustful & honest help in getting a good home. Such a shame.<br />I honestly dont get how FUELED UP some people get on Twitter. They get so offended over the smallest thing. I'll never forget when I said I didnt know who one of the Braxton sisters was on Dancing with the Stars... I literally had a dozen people jumping on me, calling me an idiot & other choice names & even someone saying I dont deserve to live & someone should kill me for not knowing. SERIOUSLY????

I mean, how many people are buying houses that end up having problems because it wasn't checked out properly?? Ooooo car dealerships/sales people make my blood boil, haha. My high school car finally bit the dust a few years ago & I had to go through the whole dealership process... it was a nightmare. I might make my husband buy my next car because I don't want anything to do with it!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570998543949978481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-85206706269866306042019-03-25T09:10:49.820-05:002019-03-25T09:10:49.820-05:00I feel the exact same way about Valentine's Da...I feel the exact same way about Valentine's Day. It is not something that we celebrate at all. We did our first year of marriage and we realized just how silly it was. It's just another day to us. We did get a small stuffed bear for E this year but that was it.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-48065001493159303902019-03-25T09:10:21.378-05:002019-03-25T09:10:21.378-05:00A friend of mine is from Iceland and posted an art...A friend of mine is from Iceland and posted an article about how they let their babies sleep outside in their strollers during the winter (well insulated of course) and I thought it was very interesting! <br /><br />https://qz.com/351821/for-generations-icelandic-babies-have-napped-in-sub-zero-temperatures-outside/Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623280007555128318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-43123957168131544512019-03-25T08:21:31.910-05:002019-03-25T08:21:31.910-05:00Those same babies will likely have a lot of sick d...Those same babies will likely have a lot of sick days at school due to not having a healthy immune system.<br />Smoking is stupid and I have no patience for anyone who thinks otherwise.
