Yes, he is the single dad cyclist.

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"
and it was pure TORTURE that i actually had to wait a week so i could take my mom.
but of course, now i must go see it again...and prolly again after that...

We took my son to see it for his birthday on Sunday and I may have enjoyed it more than he did. Yay for dinos in IMAX!0 -
@kelly_c_77 aw your cat I think it was Tator? He reminds me of grumpy cat in that photo!! They're all too cute! And RIP Pacey, I'm so sorry! Was Pacey a girl or a boy? What kind of dog? TOO freaking adorable
I love doggies!
Thanks! Haha yes Tater...he can be a grump. He is very large, very shy, and diabetic. He loves to just lay around all day. He's a sweetheart...but always looks grumpy in pictures. Pacey (boy) was a dachshund...my sweet boy that passed last summer. Bowie and Steve (2 of the orange cats) both passed away to Cancer. The other orange (Bugsy) is the only cat that we didn't rescue from outside..0 -
Uugh work is such a hot mess today. Too many issues to address, not enough me's to get it done. >_<0

My son and I were playing outside a little earlier and I noticed just how bad our rose bushes and flower garden have gotten overrun with weeds. I started pulling the weeds and of course, he wanted "to help"...so I let him toss the pulled weeds into a pile. Anyway, some neighbors walked by and started chatting with him and asked what he was up to. His reply? "Just doing weed with Mama"!! I almost died....and quickly cleared it up that we were WEEDING not doing weed.0

1963 Chevy pick up. Matte black with ghost flames and slammed. According to the insurance he's carrying, it's not supposed to be used as a daily driver, so don't tell anyone.
Then it's as old as me, since I'm a 1963 edition as well. By the way, I've been seeing matte paint used more and more these days and I really like the look. SO is a car restoration hobbyist guy so I might be "suggesting" matte finish for some future project.
And I'm sorry that the stepdaughter is being such a twit. (Insert a different vowel there)
Since I'm still > 20 pages behind.... @BZAH10 I must have missed the post where you shared about issues with your hubby, that really saddens me since you seem to be such a *kitten*-together handle-anything gal (in other words, he must be a complete tool if things are rocky) and I hope you guys get things sorted out soon. @Susieq_1994 sorry to hear you're struggling right now... but you're such an awesome lady, I'm sure God knows that without a lot of hoop-jumping required... that's my overly-simplistic non-religious view of things anyway.

That's a great looking truck, if I didn't live 25 miles from work or gas was cheap again I'd totally buy a 50's era Dodge Power Wagon to commute. Love the old iron, pretty sure I was born 3 decades too late.
We have had people come up to us and ask to take pictures of it. We were at Wal-Mart one night and a guy rolled up asked if it'd be okay if he took a picture of the truck with his wife. I thought it was very odd, Mr. Mo said it happens all the time. I have to admit, I feel like a bad mamajamma when I drive it.

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.
No most men aren't like that or at least myself and the guys I know.0 -

@pofoster21 It's all so pretty! We just live in a rented apartment, so I have to live with the terrible plastic cupboards and nasty uneven counters. I don't mind it, though--as tiny as it is, it's the best kitchen I've had in a long time, and best of all, it's ALL MINE.
We rent too, and my kitchen is...something. It's a shame, because it's got high-end, stainless, new Samsung appliances and is very, very modern, but it is NOT MY STYLE AT ALL. We have shiny red cupboards, stainless steel backsplash, stark white countertops and tile floor and bright white nuclear holocaust lighting, and it's just the opposite of what I would have chosen (anything but that fingerprint-y awful stainless...whites and pale blues and light woods, maybe with some navy and red accents, nothing lacquered and nothing stark.)
Objectively it is a stylish kitchen but I hate it a lot. And we have a tiny highrise apartment so it's a narrow galley kitchen too and I would give my right toes for decent counter space and more storage.
Your kitchen sounds like mine! Tasteless and ugly. I do have all those shiny Samsung appliances (they didn't come with the apartment though, we bought those ourselves), but there's VERY little kitchen space, no air conditioner (you would only know how torturous this is if you lived in the Gulf. My kitchen settles at 30C/86F in the early afternoon), and there's hardly even space to turn around. The cabinets are shiny and plastic and cheap, and half of the doors were already broken when we moved in because they weren't installed properly.
I still love it though, because I enjoy cooking and baking and my kitchen is my haven for making all kinds of stuff. When I visit family I miss having my cozy little kitchen with all of my dishes and spices and such, knowing where everything is, having everything you need on hand, etc. It's just so nice to have your own place, even when it isn't perfect!
I wish there was a machine that Rosie had on the Jetsons that popped out whatever food item you wanted. Oh you want a hot fudge sundae well here you go. Pizza with whatever toppings you want? Flies right out & lands on a plate.

New confession. Yup, I did just fall asleep at my desk for 15mins. I think this thread is an obsession because the first thing I thought of when I woke up was to tell you guys about it.
I don't know if I should be concerned about this or not...
Hmm that doesn't seem good.
I have had times in the past where I was so tired that I was doing the head nodding thing but I've never fallen asleep totally.

"Fries. Extra crispy. No calories."
This. On every food.
ETA: On second thought - I would like to change the "no calories" to "exact macros." No matter what I order in the day, cherry cheesecake, bacon cheeseburger, and tater tots, I want it to exactly hit my calories and macros for the day.0 -
I confess - if I have nothing to do at work, they should pay me to do what I want to do (like go home and take a nap.) It only seems fair.0

Yesterday I went to see my boyfriend, and his parents brought us Taco Bell and cherry pie. I only had 200 calories left, but I mean, it would've been rude to refuse... I went about 450 over, but I'm still under for the week lol0

I ate a biscuit with honey from KFC and mashed potatoes 0

@MoHousdon, hahaha at the "no calories" part!
@quiksylver296, seems fair to me!
@riderfangal, happy to make you laugh! He cracks me up all day long! 0 -

So, here's the thing: I wasn't ever planning to confess this in here, because I didn't want to offend anyone or make anyone feel guilty. A small part of me was also afraid that it would backfire and I would get taunted, but after knowing everyone for a while, I'm sure it wouldn't happen. I've honestly been sitting here in front of my screen for an hour, trying to get up the courage to confess this to everyone here, and as I type this I'm beginning to cry.
Basically, I have an extreme phobia of profanity of any kind--whether it's typed or verbally spoken. It triggers my anxiety and my FND in a really big way, and this is one of the reasons that sticking with this thread has been a huge challenge for me. I was able to stick with it mostly because of MFP's profanity filters--otherwise I would be long gone due to a level of anxiety that I really can't handle.
Now, this poses a problem for me. While I'm really, really happy to have all of you add me as friends, my MFP feed doesn't have the profanity filter that the forums have, and I need my feed to be "safe" for me. Lately I've been scared and anxious whenever I open MFP, for fear of what I might read on the feed.
I just wanted to tell all of you who have been so kind to add me, that while I don't expect you to filter what you post on your MFP, I really don't want you to be offended if I delete you for usage of profanity. It DOES NOT MEAN that I don't like you or that I don't want to be your friend--this is just an issue that I have a terrible, terrible fear of and really can't handle. I honestly contemplated making a second account to log my food so I wouldn't have to look at the feed on this one so I wouldn't end up deleting or alienating any one of you--I decided that it was best to bite the bullet and tell the truth.
Please don't be offended, because I truly don't mean to offend anyone. I'm sorry if I've made anyone feel bad or guilty or angry at me by this confession.
No judgement and all that, right?
thanks for letting us know Susie. Its quite important because none of us would want to deliberately upset you.
I will endeavour to moderate my language, apologise in advance for any that slip through, and understand if you want to unfriend me - i won't take it personally
I am sorry... I did this in a message to you...I was just saying this AM that I need to stop swearing. So from now on...no more swearing in my feed or comments or messages. Susieq...you are making us better people!
I really appreciate it! I consider you a good friend, and I hate that I feel so anxious about having you on my list(s). You guys don't know how much it means when you try to make accommodations for me--I truly didn't expect it, and I have a major case of the warm fuzzies right now. Thank you all.
It's not a problem. And seriously I hate that I swear so much. This will help me work on it. I once read that to use profanity is the sign of an uneducated or unimaginative mind (or something like that) and it always bothered me. That I swore so much. So this is motivation! And we are good friends! So we will work on it together.
We'll do that! I'm sure you can improve if you set your mind to it. I've come a long way just by being able to stick with this thread--I'm trying hard at it because I don't want to live in a box forever, and I'll never have control over strange or new environments. Going to places like airports is over-the-top stressful, for example.
Being stuck with you guys isn't so bad, anyhow... You're super great! 
This conversation and openness and acceptance of each other just warms my heart! We're all here to help one another be their very best, right? This is great! Super great, obviously.0 -

I always assume when I log an ice cream cone (did one from Braums) that it doesn't include ice cream. Hope that helps. I can't remember the specific question and I thought someone else would have answered.
PS. Thanks for you continued sympathies regarding my home situation. I truly appreciate it.

I really like it because I'll be going along listening to my music and it'll beep and say start walking then beep start running and I don't have to look at my watch or anything it's great!
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 apocalypse!!
I'm counting on you, @crosbylee and @quiksylver296

Confession: I'm seriously considering the intermittent fasting diet. I'm clearly not getting anywhere with the old fashioned calorie counting and I'm actually getting quite desperate now. I want to book a doctors appointment but I think they will say the same thing as my mum "Why don't you join weight watchers or slimming world" Yea, I don't want to pay someone to watch me stand on a scale.
I'm also considering taking all the money I have saved for a deposit on a house and getting someone to just suck all the fat out of me.
It's all feeling very hopeless at the moment
I've done 5:2 intermittently. (that sounds weird, ha ha) I've mentioned before that when he's home my SO does the cooking and that generally results in huge portions of very rich and rather "junky" food -- not at all how I'd choose to eat -- so when he's gone I'll do 5:2 to kind of recalibrate, especially since my IBS is usually in overdrive by the time he leaves (we seriously eat like cr@p).
I'd say give it a try.
But keep saving that house money!!!0 -

I'm up about 1 - 1.4 pounds after the trip -- but I am going to give it another day to see how much was just too much salt (a lot of things I ate were salty and I don't usually have salty foods.)
Might be plane weight, too. I always shoot up a bit after I'm on a plane (water retention?) and it takes 3-4 days for me to go back to normal.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.
You being sad, makes me sad. I'm sorry someone else got recognition for your hard work. That really sucks. I present this award to you, which I'm sure is far superior to any plaque he got.
