1. Do you have any pet peeves? If so, what are they? Meetings that could have been an email. Meetings that are a million times longer than needed because people can't stay on task.
2. What song will always get you out onto the dance floor? Depends on how much alcohol has been consumed
3. Do you believe in love at first sight? What about soulmates? No to both.
4. What is the last thing you googled? Current stomach viruses going around
5. What advice would you give 10 years ago you, if you could talk to them? Go to therapy.
And finally...6. Chiefs or NINERS (!!!!) ? Chefs.

I hate it and somehow I have a h and dd who do all of it I am laughing (because I can laugh now) at those of us who finally handed this gross dude (who was incessantly and obliviously sniffing his snot) tissues while we were taking a final exam in my college chemistry class. To which he declined, indicating he had some. 🙄

1. Do you have any pet peeves? If so, what are they?
Avoidable incompetence. A convenient catch all, but dear god, I HATE it so much.
2. What song will always get you out onto the dance floor?
Ummmm probably 80s/90s lady music. Britney will work for sure.
3. Do you believe in love at first sight? What about soulmates?
I think I believe in connection at first sight? I do believe in soulmates but like someone else said it’s not a one soulmate per person deal, and they don’t all have to be romantic. My BFF is my soulmate for sure.
4. What is the last thing you googled?
“Was Apples to Apples discontinued?” (It sort of was! But then re-released)
5. What advice would you give 10 years ago you, if you could talk to them?
Oof, who knows. Ten years ago I was married with a one year old living on the other side of the country, so let’s just say PLENTY OF THINGS.
And finally...6. Chiefs or NINERS (!!!!) ? Team snacks.

1. Do you have any pet peeves? If so, what are they? People asking for things they could do/get themselves. Like in that episode of Curb your enthusiasm where the mom(?) is like "Somebody get a sponge!" And he is like "You! You get a sponge!" 2. What song will always get you out onto the dance floor? 90s poppy punk like Fat Wreck Chords stuff 3. Do you believe in love at first sight? What about soulmates? No, no. I mean sometimes someone is hot and then it works out in other ways too, but that initial feeling wasn't "love", in my opinion 4. What is the last thing you googled? An old scandal about a teacher at the high school I work at5. What advice would you give 10 years ago you, if you could talk to them? But the house now. Save money. And finally...6. Chiefs or NINERS (!!!!) ? No curr. I guess niners because I live in California inquiring minds want to know.

Since it's so slow around here, i thought I'd post some fun questions, just to (hopefully) get the board moving a little. 1. Do you have any pet peeves? If so, what are they? 2. What song will always get you out onto the dance floor? 3. Do you believe in love at first sight? What about soulmates? 4. What is the last thing you googled? 5. What advice would you give 10 years ago you, if you could talk to them? And finally...6. Chiefs or NINERS (!!!!) ? 1.) Close talkers. I need my bubble please don't cross my bubble. 2.) Cotton Eyed Joe 3.) I dunno. I did say I was going to bone my husband one day on the day we met but that had more to do with lust than love I'm pretty sure. 4.) Purple Parrot Club in Rehoboth. We learned on a meeting that my boss was there recently and sang karaoke and there might be video proof. 🤣 5.) 10 years ago? Get rid of credit cards, save more, work on financial health. 6.) I really don't have an opinion because I don't football. I'll watch for the commercials and the halftime show if we're not busy but it's not a main focus.

Update to my answers Pet peeve dh driving below speed limit on freeway and over speed limit on surface streets. Just a few mph but annoying. I think it was kittyriot who mentioned lights left on or windows left open? I know youngest is home whe bathroom light it left on. Started when he was afraid of the dark as a kid but continues at age almost 24. And dh and windows. Today Honey you know it's raining why are all the windows open? Or summer sweetheart it's 110 please close the damned windows

And 10 years ago me please force your husband to get his hearing checked. Cause maybe by now he'd have hearing aids and hear you the first time instead of the eleventh time

Dh makes noises in his sleep sometimes and I threaten to suffocate him with a pillow. If he dies in his sleep it's his sleep apnea not me. Honest

I think eating sounds are a common pet peeve.
I've thought of some many more I have. Can this just be an airing of grievances thread?
People who don't clean the snow off the top of their car.

1. People who hover silently while waiting to be acknowledged. I will turn it into a battle of wills.
2. Most line dances.
3. It sounds lovely, but no.
4. "spider web font"
5. Don't freak out, your water is going to break tonight. Yes it's early, but he will be ok. However, make them keep you at least another day in the hospital because the PICU is bullshit. Breastfeeding is, too. It's not for you and he'll be better for it. You deserve to enjoy the Winter Olympics.
6. Just here for the chicken wings.

1. Do you have any pet peeves? If so, what are they? Bad grammar and leaving things around the house instead of putting them away.
2. What song will always get you out onto the dance floor? 90s pop will usually do it.
3. Do you believe in love at first sight? What about soulmates? No to love at first sight or the concept of soulmates exactly, but I do believe when you meet someone who is right for you and you have good chemistry it can click very very fast.
4. What is the last thing you googled? Restaurants in Las Vegas for an upcoming work trip.
5. What advice would you give 10 years ago you, if you could talk to them? Set boundaries with your mother now, don't let things go just to "keep the peace."
6. Chiefs or Niners? Bang bang, Niner gang! Duh! But my husband, who grew up an Oakland Raiders fan, is wearing his "I just hope both teams have fun" t-shirt to the watch party we're going to, and I think that's hilarious.

The teacher scandal was that (long ago) a teacher got a student pregnant basically as soon as she graduated. I gathered from what my students were telling me that this was also an affair on the part of the (married) teacher. That child was born and the wife stood by the teacher I think. The child of that affair grew up and went to the same school where the teacher works, where the student/mom graduated from, where I now work. The kid graduated last year. I couldn't find anything about it online, but kids are still talking about this 19 years later.

1. Mouth noises. The existence of ClassDojo. Surgeons who give better pain control to men.
2. I don’t think I have one.
3. No for love at first sight. Yes for soulmates, especially platonic ones.
4. RN to EMS certification (not changing careers, just as a volunteer gig).
5. Trust your gut. You’re right.
6. I need that shirt that says “I hope both teams have fun and Texas loses.”

I don’t believe there’s only one person that’s your soul mate, I think they come in many forms. My bff and I joke were platonic life partners, in the last 20+ years of being friends I can’t remember a single time we fought and we continue to spend the majority of our time together raising our kids and living life together. 4. Gymnastics meet scores for my daughters competition 5. I would tell myself 10 years ago… this is a hard question! I was a new first time mom, happily married and life was so good back then. Maybe to take the whole 12 weeks of maternity leave instead of going back to work, though we needed the money… I don’t know.
