I confess I was actually going to post TODAY that my confession is that I think I run off all the men in this thread. Example:
-- I asked @tincanonastring if he worked at my company, he asked me if I was stalking him (I deduced where he came from by his posts) and within a week he was gone.
-- I started engaging with @AgentOrangeJuice on messaging (he expressed sympathy about Oberon, I asked him about his new job, etc.) he disappeared.
-- @flatasapancake posted a new chest picture, I said impressive! You are slowly working your way around your body, is your *kitten* next and he never came back.
I have checked on all of them...they are all still posting (not much from @AgentOrangeJuice though so he may truly be busy).
Like in real life, I scare all the men away. Sigh.
No, do not blame yourself! It's kind of funny, when you type it out like that, but I highly doubt it has anything to do with you!
Perhaps not but I am not a big believer in coincidence. But luckily mixmode has promised to stick around and I haven't scared off xMrBunglex yet....
Nah, it wasn't you. I had to take a forum hiatus to attend to IRL stuff and by the time I came back, it was 1000 comments later and I just never picked back up in this thread. Those other guys, though...that was you!
Confession: I promised to catch up on all the missed posts in this thread and I am fully committed to breaking that promise. No regrets...y'all post too much!
I will be highly impressed if you can do that! That's some dedication!0 -

No one probably remembers but I have talked about that guy who is on the phone at work all the time and everyone loves him even though he barely works...he just let me know he won some award so he is getting a plaque/prize at 10 today.
I'm like seriously...
This just happened to me. The conference I am at they did recognition awards. The guy in my group that won got recognized for 2 projects I led. One was done before he came on board. The other he came in on the tail end and had zero to do with. I totally led them. This is like the 4th time over the years this has happened to me. No one in an operations driven organization ever appreciates marketing communications. But I PROJECT LED these. This guy is connected.
I confess as soon as the awards were over I grabbed my stuff, went to hotel, and am now drowning my sorrows by reading this thread.
I am feeling very sad.
(HUGS). I'm right there with you. I wasn't a happy person at work yesterday. I'm sure my face showed my emotions when he told me he was getting the achievement award. This guy is really nice but he just has a really bad work ethic. I used to do the same job as him plus a lot more. He can't even keep up with half the job and always needs help from others to finish. The only reason he got it is because (as you said above) he is connected and makes friends very easily.
In a way it makes me feel bad like I will never be recognized unless I make friends at work (to me work is work and not a place to make friends, if I happen to make friends at work it is a bonus but that's not why I come in each day). It just seems like hard work means nothing.
Like I said, at least I know I work hard (most the time-once I'm away from the desk again). I hope that you can feel the same. But I know it's hard.0 -

I am frightened at how much I will have to catch up on when I get back.
Friends, message me if something is happening so I can check in. Or if you need a friendly chat. Or just need some sympathy. Or a kick in the butt!
Thanks Patricia!! (You really don't go by any nicknames?)
Nope. Only Patty to family and people who knew me from WI (which is very few people at this stage). The trainer at the barn started calling me POF for short a long time ago and I am ok with that as it has no connotations. So feel free to call me that. Please anyone else with this name forgive me but:
patty = child
Pat = short, ugly, gender less
Trish = Trish the dish (trashy big chested girl from the show one day at a time)
Patsy = too cutesy
So Patricia it is. I really don't like the name but this is the closest I can tolerate. People in real life get offended when I insist they call me that which I find amazing. I know it's 3 syllables but tough. It's my name.
But from now on at the barn and here, I am POF.
So in my head I call you 'poof' - making a word out of your initials a la NASA. Is that correct or is it P O F, like FBI?
That was my question, too. I'm behind, so it may have already been answered.

Maybe it'll mean the creep with the unfunny and inappropriate posts will stop too, though. Barf. So....silver lining?
Another topic: I should confess that I love musicals. I grew up doing theatre stuff and was even doing quite a lot of paid singing gigs until I took a year off last year, so I drag the husband to lots of stage shows these days. Movies, though...the big movie musicals are generally very disappointing because the singers are not really theatre-quality, by and large. I made it fifteen minutes into Les Miserables before shutting it off and Chicago sent me into a rage. On the other hand, Anna Kendrick did a low-budget film version of The Last 5 Years that I just saw and sobbed all the way through, though, so there are some bright spots in the movie musical world still.
Last night my best friend came up from her new city (3 hrs away) and we went and pigged out on pasta. I seriously do not seem to be able to bring myself to buckle down and lose the weight I gained to fit into my wedding dress (and since)...all of my trousers are tight and I just can't even seem to care for some reason. Husband likes me better at this weight too, which doesn't help. But I'm looking a feeling pretty sausage-y so I should probably cool it with the pigging out at some point soon...

It has something to do with the number of flagged posts in here possibly which is why it's not moving.
I flagged myself and as an other and asked for a reset - hopefully that will work.0 -

I've considered getting this but I don't really like video games. Last time I looked it was a paid app. You can get it for free now?xMrBunglex wrote: »

Great news for me. I am working on getting my physical endurance up a bit for a mud run in October.
Either of you tried the Zombies, run! app? I've heard good reviews about that one.
That may be one I need to look into since The Walking Dead is my favorite show. Gotta train for the apocolypse!!
I just tried it last week (based on someone's recc in this thread.) It's pretty cool! Like running in a video game.
I'm kinda OCD about my run/walk ratios (I run 2 mi, walk 1/4 mi, run 2 mi, walk 1/4 mi, etc.) so I haven't turned on the "Zombie Chase" function that makes you speed up when you're under attack...I might try it tonight on my run though.
yes you can

Wondering the same thing. :-/ Last time it got locked into place, it was because the original post had been flagged a certain number of times, and the mods came and removed the flags. But when I went back and checked it this time, there aren't any new flags or anything... So I don't know what's going on this time!0 -

And here's my boys, one on the left is Ollie a pitbull/hound mix, the other is Boone an Irish Setter/Lab mix.qn4bx9pzg8aifd wrote: »As of late, this thread has been 'populated' with a bevy of beautiful dogs (it's making me melt)...
...and I've always wondered what an Irish Setter/Lab mix might look like (they're two of my favorite breeds) -- so beautiful!
Oh, my... I can only imagine how uniquely beautiful a Black Lab / Irish Setter mix would be... and to have the flags and tail that a Setter has -- ! -- Wow... that would definitely have been a dog that 'stood out'...The best dog my parents ever had while I was growing up was a mostly lab / Irish Setter mix. He was a wonderful dog. Total strangers would offer to buy him on the spot. (not for sale). He had such heart and personality! He was black with the flags on his legs and tail that the setters have. He was 1/8 Setter (or so we were told, he was a pound puppy)
...and as much as I cannot fathom how total strangers would go up to anyone to offer to buy their dog (OMG! -- how does someone walk up to *anyone* and offer to buy someone's family member?!!!), I can understand total strangers making a comment regarding someone's dog (heck, I've done that... I recall a specific instance from several years ago, in what represented the first time in years that I'd seen a Chocolate Lab in person... and someone was resting the dog in some shade, near a convenience store I'd just pulled up to, on a hot summer day... and as I walked toward the door, I couldn't help looking at that wondrous dog, and smiling, as I quickly conveyed, to the human guardian/family member accompanying said dog, how absolutely beautiful the dog was (he was also, easily, one of the largest/longest Labs I've ever seen in my life... he looked so strikingly regal (if Chocolate Labs were able to speak English, I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that dog recite Shakespeare (and in a beautifully sonorous voice (and with a British accent, to boot
)))... he seemed like a form of 'impossible' one might perchance see painted in some book from the 1900s, and for which it would be assumed that the dimensions were wrong (of the painted dog, not the book ), and that the dog's body length might possibly have been exaggerated in conjunction with whatever compulsion seems to afflict fishermen who brag about their 'catch' -- or that the artist who painted the dog perhaps thought that they were painting a small-statured horse (as beautiful as such beings are, this one would have repeatedly experienced hearing the words, "this horse looks so much like a dog..." )...
(...now, I need to do a quick search, to 'catch a glimpse' of a Black Lab / Irish Setter mix... )

@Susieq_1994 - I am behind so maybe someone already suggested this, but have you looked into any apps that block profanity? They have them for the web in general and also for ebooks. There is even something you can connect to your TV that blocks swear words.

I am leaving for work now and hoping today is a good day!
Yesterday sucked!
I got lost running an errand for my son (he got his grad hoodie for next year Monday and his name was spelled wrong, so had to find the uniform shop and get it fixed).....then we realized his bike was stolen, he just recently bought it and it is his transportation to and from work, so he had to walk yesterday, and today. Then I missed my gym time because as I was heading there, the office staff at my building called me and told me another bike had been stolen and asked me to see if I could come and view the video....that took a while and we saw nothing actually.
I feel bad for my son
Work is stressful right now too, kind of a long story, but we had a new girl that only worked about two months and now is off sick for an 'undetermented' amount of time, so they are replacing her and her husband came in Monday while I was there and freaked out on my boss....I do not generally work on Tuesdays but my boss text me and said this is becoming a bit of a nightmare. I have known her husband for years and now things are awkward, and I got her the job for him......my boss is cool, she knows I could not have known, but the whole situation is just sucky and stressful.
Plus I am still not really speaking to my SO still, we are on week two.....so that just adds to the stress.
I am not going to let it ruin tonight though! Tonight is the only night in a long while that I will be home alone. My daughter is out of town visiting a friend and my son is working. My daughter keeps getting straight day shifts, which is strange for a 19 year old working at tourist attractions that are open all night...and she is a new hire....over all it is great because she can rely on the bus which is obviously much cheaper than cabs etc, but it is seriously cutting into my alone time that over the last year I have gotten very used to! A year ago I never had alone time, but now I love it, lol.
So, tonight, I am going to indulge in a chicken bacon alfredo pizza from domino's and watch Big Brother! I figure I have about five hours of alone time after work before my son gets home....so I am gonna get everything done I need to do right away and then sit on the sofa and just bask in my aloneness lol.
Today is my day off logging so I am not worried about such things tonight, I am gonna eat super light during the day, just a light lunch and already did not eat much breakfast, but tonight I will eat pizza and my favorite Haagan Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream.....I am not even gonna have my phone on!
P.S. BB people, I am gonna go start the thread now, so don't forget to check there later!!
Have a great day everyone!
@Italian_Buju Sorry things are not great for you right but yay for getting alone time!! I hear it's a wonderful thing I was also meaning to ask you how are you doing health wise? I remember you had a rough couple days last week
I will be watching for your BB thread! So excited!!0 -

that new reception girl is someones daughter too y'know, and I'm not sure that is a good example of being a man now is it?
I confess: I am judging you for judging that post...BUT his friends list consists almost entirely of attractive females with their make-up covered faces and body parts exposed....I smell a misogynist.
I normally skip past those posts, but that made me a little sick in my mouth and had to see what kind of creep we are dealing with. Turns out to be a hypocritical one. So I felt a little urge to publicly shame him. Judge all you want, if I found out a man did that at my place of work or that new receptionist was my {hypothetical} daughter, he would be one testicle missing.
Edited because men are men, whatever, but don't make it public, I don't want that visual thanks
Edit again because: Why are you judging me for judging that? (out of curiosity, not picking a fight), it's disgusting and offensive.
Because it's supposed to be a 'NO JUDGEMENT' thread. /irony
The fact is, I totally agree with you and you were right to call him on his bullsmurf. Imagine if the woman herself found out about his 'fantasizing'. Life is NOT a porno, she would likely be horribly offended and never want to work near you again, dude.
It also definitely had the air of a confession that was merely posted to try and stir stuff up.
Men ARE men but, in my opinion, grown men don't 'beat off' to the new receptionist while at work. They should wait until they get home for that kind of thing. Do WORK at work. Or...post on a forum about the crappy way you've been eating lately and how you have skipped workouts and how you are posting things at work when you really should be working(I am guilty of all these things).
Also, I noted in my post that he was likely a misogynistic hypocrite based on his friends list, which, I confess, was also me judging him.
TL;DR: I wasn't ACTUALLY judging you. I was agreeing with you and then confessing my own judgement of 'Yeah, this dude is a misogynistic hypocrite who should keep his self love schedule to himself'.
ETA: Some things just come across poorly in textual format. Or maybe I am slightly terrible at expressing myself in the way I actually intend...
I also think he's the same man who had the sleeping girlfriend.
I can confirm this.

Fish and chips are THE BEST when eaten on a chilly, windy beach with seagulls waiting menacingly for any leftovers.
...in reading your wonderful description of seagulls, I suddenly find myself thinking of a store that I occasionally go to, and which is close enough to the water that seagulls fly and hover about (and pick at remnants of littered food in the parking lot)... and as I make my way into that store, I cannot help thinking, "...how does this food end up in the parking lot?", and "please don't poop on me... please don't poop on me..." -- which I seem to repeat almost mantra-like, until I (safely! and poop-free!) make it into the store... 0 -

That is great! I now see this becoming a term exclusive to our thread. Every time someone over eats and is unhappy about it: grief bacon. As in, "Why did I eat those cookies?! I had a grief bacon incident!"

Well if I knew this man IRL I would report him to the police as a predator and a threat to society. (Little bit too much?) As I said earlier I put my big girl panties on this morning, I've gone all feminist, did my Stonglift session at the gym and I'm PUMPED! well... after my 15min accidental nap at my desk.

then i started to fishtail on the four lane highway, and i completely can't pull out of it, totally lose control, the car does a full 360 spin across the two lanes of oncoming traffic and i bounce off of the opposing guardrail.
by some tiny miracle, no one was coming when i crossed lanes. if anyone had been, i probably would have killed them and myself. so i'm on the wrong side of the road facing the wrong direction. see no one coming at me head on, and drive back over to the right side of the road to a stoplight. this dude pulls up in the lane next to me and is like ARE YOU OK?!?!! i'm all shaky and say yeah, i think so. light turns green and i drive on to the theater like everything is fine.
i meet up with my mom and i'm like, i think i might have just almost died, and explain the whole thing to her and she's like... well maybe you should slow the hell down. and i say no, this was REALLY scary, and she's just like yeah, i've done it before too. slow down.
thanks mom!
confession: my mother's total lack of empathy and concern really ticks me off sometimes....
I confess my first thought was why are you driving so fast to make a movie of all things......esp in bad weather, slow down!
it was JURASSIC WORLD!
dinosaurs!
i've been giddy for this for SO LONG.
but i fully admit that dying before getting there would have greatly ruined it....
You're so funny! We went to see it last weekend too. My husband was the same as you, asking me every week for months, "When does Jurassic World come out? That's too long to wait"0 -

Great news for me. I am working on getting my physical endurance up a bit for a mud run in October.
Yay! That sounds awesome! I'm a little jealous. My goal is to do a mud run or obstacle course in the fall but I don't have anyone to do it with me. I hurt my left shoulder a couple months ago and went to physical therapy for a bit and somehow hurt my right shoulder a week ago so no weights for awhile. Long story short...I'm afraid that I won't have the upper body strength for it. Ok I'm finished whining.
Does anyone have helpful hints for preparing for a mudder?
Oh no! I have no experience with as far as a mudder, but wanted to say I hope you heal quickly!0 -
@pofoster21 I'm sorry that guy took credit for YOUR work! So frustrating. And I see you as "Doctor Patricia". Is that okay?

Hi chatty Cathys! I was out dropping flyers all day yesterday and I am sososo sunburnt. I am usually religious with sunscreen but it was supposed to be cloudy and rainy yesterday, not so much.... Ouch. Lol0

Glad you like it! I think part of the issue with missing posts here isn't so much that the thread is busy (though that's part of it), but it's more that when folks respond, they tend to quote the ENTIRE POST they are replying to, including lengthy blocks of text and/or images and photos. It doesn't take long to burn through multiple pages that way, and bury other new posts in the process.
Normally I'd have the same concern but right now, when I'm 30 pages behind (and I've skipped 10-page chunks over the past couple of days
because when I've replied the "new post" function bumps to the post after my own instead of the last one I'd read up to that point) I kinda welcome the huuuuuge post quotes because they occupy a lot of space on the page, thereby reducing my reading.
And that was a horribly run-on sentence that probably made no sense whatsover.0 -
Edited because men are men, whatever, but don't make it public, I don't want that visual thanks
This. This is how I feel. I know most guys are like that but I just don't want to think/hear about it because it makes me feel bad for some reason. Ignorance sometimes really is bliss...
Edited to add: I'm pretty sure the reason I feel like this is because I imagine my boyfriend being like that and even if I broke up with him, I can imagine the next guy being like that too. That is on me I know but it's just the way I feel.0
