support our troops
I know this is completely off topic, but I feel it's worth it. It literally takes 5 seconds to send a card. http://www.letssaythanks.com You can pick out a thank you card, Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed…

A Cautionary Tale of Christmas Treats
Last night was Cigar Night. All my buddies meet at my house. It was raining, 35 degrees. I built a fire under cover of the deck. Because of the weather, only three guys showed up. Because of the cold, I reationalized, I needed something to warm the inner Road Dog. Nothing pairs with a La Gloria Cubana like Port Wine.…

There is a bug inside my scale.
Yes, there is a bug inside my scale. Literally. I've had this particular scale forever... I think my mom had it when I was in junior high, and I'm almost 30, so it's been a while. I tried to take the screen off and remove the little critter, but the scale is made so that you can't do that. So... I decided that he would be…

What would you do with a $100 bonus?
I'm getting a $100 bonus at work, and I'm wondering what to do with it. Should I pay a bill? Probably. Get myself a very much needed pair of sneakers? Save it for something bigger that I want (a bicycle)? Save it for when I think I may be going out of town for a week in January? What would you do with it if you got $100…

What color shirt to wear in a video
I'm so embarassed, but I have been asked to be in a video tomorrow promoting the healthy living resources they did last year at my work since I'm a "sucess story." I have to talk about my experience, what motivated me, how I feel now, what's changed, which resources I used, etc. So obviously I want to look my very best,…

small dog owners & winter
I have a chihuahua & I live in a suburb of Chicago. Our winters can get brutal. This will be her 4th winter & were already having the same old problems. Going outside to potty is a dreaded deed. We have multiple jackets that don't seem to keep her warm enough & even have boots because her feet were freezing if she was…

Am I too old?
For this shirt? http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/helix/tops/PRD~667898/Helix+Bird+Tee.jsp I am not wearing this one, but one very similar. I am a 40 year old guy (but I am told I look like I am in my early 30's). As you can see, I spike my hair up (gives the illusion of height). I don't really dress my age. I…

Does this make me gay?
It's Saturday night, my wife is out of town with my stepdaughter so I am alone in the house. I'm sitting with the dog and watching "Fashion Police". The dog is a male Golden Retriever, if that helps. I did watch a football game earlier. But, come to think of it, that might even be more gay than watching Fashion Police. So…

Went and cut our Christmas Tree yesterday!
We buy a permit to cut a tree in the National Forest every year. Today was the day! Packed up this morning and headed up north. Surprised to find there was quite a bit of snow! Didn't expect there to be any. The roads were MUDDY! Glad I had my M1009 with boggers. I had it in 4L a lot. We ended up on some old logging roads…

Sent this email to Best Buy today. It's self explanatory. "About 4 weeks ago, my wife, Jannette Vallandingham, bought a laptop. About 3 weeks ago, she bought a Wii Fit. Next week, we were planning on picking up an iPod for Xmas. Anyway, Thanksgiving, when the ads came out in the paper, my wife saw that the Wii Fit was on…

I hate it when....
I know we all have certain post, topics, tips ect. that we hate! :explode: I just want to hear everyone just let it out here. This could be fun and cause drama all at the same time :laugh: So let me know what you can not stand on MFP that people do. Example: I hate it when people eat only 1200 calories (just an example…

would you be offended?
Hello everyone, As I am thinking about the holidays I am making a list of things I want to get people as gifts to avoid over spending by just looking around in stores for things they might like. I have quite a few people on my list who are very hard to shop for. One person in particular, who I am very close with and I…

So let me introduce you first to Andy, Esty and Testy (Androgen, Estrogen and Testosterone) – the competing hormones that make my daily journey through menopause a living nightma... er... challenge. Theirs is the gift that keeps on giving – 15 lbs of unshakeable flab and the reason I joined this site. Testy does double…

New Mexico Chili Cook off
This is an actual account as relayed to paramedics at a chili cook-off in New Mexico. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in New Mexico, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili…

Proud Mother
2 years ago, I gave birth to twin boys who were soon after diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. I've struggled for the past 2 years with every emotion known to man. My reason for being on MFP was because I became an emotional eater and stuffed my pain down with food. I've been here for 3 months and I've lost 30lbs so far. I…

Looking for a good book to read
Hey there. I am looking for a good book to read. Doesn't have to be diet related or anything like that. Just not a fan of romance and I don't want to get into any series. I'm debating re-reading Eat, Pray, Love - so any books that are similar would be good. Let me know your suggestions! Thanks! Stephanie

Dear....
Before I start, this not an original thought for a post, but since I can't find the original I thought I would start my own. So here goes. Dear Man that I love, First, I love you with all my heart. However, I do not love it when after I spent an hour last night deep cleaning the kitchen I wake up to bacon grease all over…

Avocados
I just found out that avocado is a Spanish word from the Nahuatl word ahuacatl, meaning testicle. :noway: I've never been particularly fond of avocados. I'm even less fond of them now ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado#Etymology

Starving Day!!
Holy Crap, what happened to me today. I have been doing pretty much the same thing for a while now and today has been one of the most starving days i think I have ever had, and I still have to workout before dinner. I have burned a lot of fat lately and am wondering if that is due to an increase perhaps in my metabolism. I…
