Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

When I was 12 or 13 my best school friend told me you can summon devil by looking in the mirror and calling his name 3 times, then she started to call... I was in tears begging her to stop after she said it for the second time. I was petrified!
At 50 I still don't look into a mirror in the dark, I am to afraid.0 -
random tidbits:
NONOELMO is a very old screen name I used when my daughter was very young. Her first words were No! and Elmo. She often repeated the no as no no! Thus nonoelmo is a historic name.
My dogs are Sorcha and Bruno. Sorcha is a 10 year old blue standard poodle. Bruno is a pound puppy. Bruno was in the pound for four months - owner surrendered. He looks like a giant pug. He has a big body, short legs, a broken short (but not cropped, it is just short) tail. He has 1/4 inch underbite. He sounds a mess and he is the cutest and freaking sweetest squishy dog ever!! He is six. I think he is some combination of pit, boxer, something short legged. The pound described him as a lab mix (good as my insurance would charge for a pit) but I have no idea what he really is. He is colored similar to a buckskin horse - I don't know what that color would be in dog language. Both dogs are awesome and very people friendly. Bruno has such a fan club, though, because he is soooo squishy when you hug his 64 pound frame. Sorcha is a lean 49 pounds of poodle energy. I love standards and think when I'm ready for another dog I'll get a parti-poodle from a breeder.
I decided to do something off my bucket list. For years I have wanted to backpack through the Steen Mountains in Oregon. That is where the Kiger Mustang population is located and I want to see them in the wild. I am an Oregon native and keep putting off the trip (young kids, busy life, live far away.) Well, I'm going to get my father onboard and plan a trip for next summer. Dad is 70 and in phenomenal shape but I can't put this off too long. SO is excited about it also, and told me I need to get in better shape to keep up with my dad. True. Oddly enough, I've been in better physical fitness shape most of my life than I am now. I fit enough exercise in to keep very healthy but I'm not in shape for hiking in the mountains with a pack on so yes, I need to train for that! My SO is ridiculously fit (marathons and century bike rides) and competitive but my dad made him work to keep up hiking last summer.
Well done on the plan to backpack in the mountains. That's an amazing undertaking!
I'm also watching eurovision. It's more dire this year than previous, if that's even possible!

So sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing ok these days...berlynnwall wrote: »spacequiztime wrote: »I honestly don't get scared by most entertainment media but I am terrified of things that can actually happen, like someone breaking into the house.
The lights went out a year or so ago and I just couldn't move.
Me too. I was going to give an example, but my example was way too awful for normal consumption. Let's just say that news stories about child abuse and sexual assault are huge triggers for me. I can't watch/read them anymore.

Columbus is nicknamed the gay Capitol of the Midwest and the pride parade is HUGE here, I love it!' It's always such a blast- we still have three weeks to go!
The one in my city is in four weeks and I'm excited for that one because it's my favorite! I was on a float today which was just so much fun and probably burned all the calories from the champagne dancing.
Yay!! That sounds like so much fun!!0 -

For example I've never had Key lime pie and everyone raves on about it! I'm dying to try it. Now obviously I know you can get that here but I'm holding out as I imagine it's so much better in the USA!
My elder son lives in Brooklyn and works in Manhattan, he is always trying new things. I'll ask him for some recommendations for you.
My DOH! would recommend Carnegie Deli but only if you are keen on a pound of corned beef.

As promised, pictures of my baby! I hope they show properly.
This was her the day I brought her home. Smaller than the palm of my hand!
Growing...
These are comparison shots about two months apart, next to the same (mini) laptop.
I know, too many pictures... But she's just too cute not to share?

My husband is very allergic, too, so I had to give her up when I got married.
Luckily, my sister has her, so I see her when I go home to visit family. She's almost 5 years old now, but still very tiny and petite (She weighs about 6 pounds soaking wet!). She never grew much since her mother abandoned her so young and she was pretty malnourished. 0 -
When I was done with my workout today, I yelled, "Hahahaha! F*** you, workout!" It made me feel better. I kicked that workout's a**.
I am irrationally angry over how much salt is in EVERYTHING. It is so annoying.0 -
One of my only current photos, where she's looking annoyed because I kept trying to make her look at the camera... 0 -

There are so many pools around that people could go to, I just don't understand why private gyms have to allow it too. If there was even one around that didn't it would be a serious factor for me. Today there were lessons in the pool and it was down to 2 lanes. I nearly put my swim off completely when I saw all the kids in the changing rooms, and cut it down from my planned 30 to 20 minutes because it was so loud. I went into the steam room and it was still really loud. Please tell me I'm not the only person who hates this!
No, you're not the only one. I do think there should be some places that are child-free. I know some fancier restaurants have this rule, and we have a movie theater that has an 18+section - no, it's not "those" kinds of movies , but they serve alcohol. There are plenty of places that allow and cater to kids, I don't see any reason why there can't be places for adults only.
LOL at bolded. I agree on adults only places. I want an adults only bouncy house!
this would be AWESOME!!!!

You're still slacking in the confessions department, Pancake.
I'm a very pure, innocent soul. Not much to confess.
That's not what you said a few pages ago! Spill it! And I don't mean what you just said in your previous post. That we don't need to hear about. Since you're still with us on this thread you might as well contribute something good!
Poop isn't good enough for you people? That usually knocks 'em dead most places. Tough crowd. Hmmm. Confessions, confessions, let me think...
I confess that my dad's a recovering alcoholic who got rid of all the pets I loved and my childhood home when I was younger because he needed to move to Florida to try and keep my mom from divorcing him. When he was down in Florida, I witnessed my dad have an alcoholic seizure in front of my girlfriend who was meeting my parents for the first time. That was quite a few years ago, so he is doing better now. Even though I love my dad, we don't talk very much because he lives with my mom in NC now. That makes me a little sad, and I probably still harbor anger and resentment towards him.
Good enough?
My father-in-law was an alcoholic, too. It messes up a family for sure.
You are officially a member of our group now.
As was my stepdad. A 12 pack every single day after work. A case a day on the weekend. Every weekend morning I remember the sound of a beer can popping open. Breakfast of champions, my azz!
My stepdad is an alcoholic too. He drinks as soon as he clocks out from work, all day on the weekends and pretty much any other time too. He has come to church functions, side jobs (he builds fences), birthday parties (kids), family gatherings, including Christmas morning, my 27th birthday party (where he called me a bit@h), and several other occasions drunk. He keeps a cooler of beer in my mom's car so he can drink while she drives. He ran into a bridge last week "because the sun was in his eyes", but I'm pretty sure that alcohol was involved. I refuse to let my daughter ride in the car with him while he's driving.
A friend of my dad's that he works with is an alcoholic, too. He drinks pretty much all day, every day. I've never seen him without a beer in his hand. I remember him pulling around a wagon with a case of beer when he would take his kids trick-or-treating.0 -

Now I'm wondering how long he's been doing that. I just thought my cats were really thirsty, or that the heat was evaporating their water. Hmmm
Haha that's cute! I guess better than stealing their cat food.0 -
Confession: I am watching Eurovision Song Contest with my girls and enjoy it, it reminds me a lot of my childhood when me and my sister would stay up way past our usual bed time to watch it and to have a glimpse of Europe, being raised in Poland in the 80-ies :-)
I JUST found out what that was as my boyfriend and some of his friends are watching it and I had to have him explain to me what that was! I feel so cool I know what you're taking about!
I used to watch it when I lived in France, even though we always lost... lol.
So this has been a total fail week. Too much hunger, too much food, too much sickness. Bleh. Will probably eat too much tomorrow too. I just hate fail weeks.0 -
my guilty pleasure? I keep a jar of peanut M&Ms next to my rack. Grab 10 as I watch tv. Learned that if I eat what I crave...in strict moderation Im golden..keeps binge eating away...happens if I'm not on point when I drink..oh..yeah...I like 3 pints o Guiness on the weekends...and a couple of Irish Car Bombs..n smoking a cigar...then ridin my zx10 along the coastline balls out on the way home...already lost a testacle on a high speed accident....that is totally another story!0

I do almost all of the cooking - by choice because he would/does just make whatever is easiest rather than something actually nutritious and I'm trying to lose weight here and raise healthy kids, and also because he doesn't get home in time during the week. - but if I have anything on the menu with meatballs, or any other situation where you have to touch the raw meat; I save those dinners for the weekend and ask him to cook them. I cannot do it. If I'm making chicken and it needs to be dipped in something, you better believe I'm using a fork.
Would it be easier if you bought yourself some non latex gloves, like the food prep people wear? Then you wouldn't actually feel the meat in your hands. I have a stepson that is like that too, but he is getting better about it.
Maybe a little, but I don't know. It's a texture thing, and I think I would still get squicked out. Thanks for the suggestion though!0 -
