I fall all the time when I run. I don't pick my feet up enough. I have broken several walkman/discman over the years. Thank God for iPods. Although I did break my iPod when it fell off my waistband in a portapotty once.
I have banged my knees up and scraped my hands, but most of the damage was to the portable players.
Even if it hadn't broken, I wouldn't have been taking it with me. I HATE the portapotty. Ew.

I don't have that issue thank god! I eat a large bowl before I go into work at 6 am and then I'm not hungry again until around 11! Getting ready to eat my justin's maple almond butter and my apple, yum!0 -

I absolutely love cereal, but it also absolutely doesn't fill me up, so I can't really fit it into my calories unless I want to go hungry... Or eat half the box to feel full.
Speaking of funny cat stories: I mentioned that I hand-raised my baby, Zainab, from a teeny tiny kitten. Well, she was so attached to me that she often caught a ride on my shoulder like a mini parrot as I went about my day. As she got older, she didn't break the habit--she would pose on the bed and wait for me to come close enough, then jump onto my shoulder and hang on. She also would always do it when I was working out on my stationary bike, since she couldn't get to my lap when I kept pumping my legs up and down (she tried that, too...)
She still does her parrot act on my poor sister (and to me, when I visit), and since she's so much bigger and heavier, it's hard for her to STAY on like she used to when she was teeny, and she digs in with her claws to stay in place. Imagine a fully-grown cat sitting perfectly upright on someone's shoulder...

Do you like date asker guy? If the answer is yes, then I say GO FOR IT!
I do like said guy lol
Well, then, buy yourself something pretty (sexy, but tasteful) and go and enjoy yourself. If you just get a meal and decent conversation but it doesn't go anywhere, at least you have a pretty new dress to wear later. But if it DOES go somewhere, I think we all expect to be invited to the wedding.
Oooo a MFP wedding yayyyy! Are we getting too ahead of ourselves? haha0 -

Hope this works! Might be huge..if so, I apologize.
Wow that's a lot of cats (super cute, too)! I forget who else had a bunch, including a pregnant porch kitty, you might might give that person a run for their money in the cat hoarding war
That would be @pofoster21, if I'm not mistaken. And my family owns 14 cats, so I think they beat everyone. O.o
It is me. 4 in the home now, 2 on the porch, and 2 at the barn. I have to admit 4 in the home is a lot now when I feed. And the politics of who gets fed where...exhausting. But Cobweb is doing great (latest addition, you all went through that with me). He is the sweetest cat.
He likes to jump on the 1/2 wall between the toilet and the vanity when I get out of the shower and while I dry myself off he reaches out to me, to be petted, etc. The other day, I bent over drying my legs and he proceeded to walk onto my back and lay down! So there I am, stark naked, with a purring cat laying on my back and licking my wet hair. I crouched down to try and get him to walk off me, but he resettled himself and kept purring away. I finally had to slowly stand until he slid off, praying all the time he wouldn't grab me with his claws to stay on. If I had had a camera and wasn't such a prude, I would have taken a selfie and posted it (but yes, I was stark naked, so probably that wouldn't be allowed on here!).
Ok, sorry that this is giant...I haven't a clue how to shrink it. But, I just wanted to share what our feeding time looks like...
They all have their own bowls and go right to them when it's time to eat! Such good little piglets!
Awesome. Kinda makes me cringe though, just imagining all those meowing at 3am every night like mine does...
My sister's nine cats tend to join her and sleep piled all over her and her bed--they don't generally stay up all night. It's a pretty funny sight! There will be one on her head, one or two on her torso, one curled at her legs... If she moved in her sleep she'd probably squash the lot.
One cat on the bed is annoying enough, honestly (she ALWAYS sleeps on my side), I can't imagine 9, although we did have 3 cats at one point.
But it could be worse, I mean, like this
(which is why my dog isn't allowed on the bed, by the way, even though he's only 55 pounds, lol)0 -

Nice. I need a little of this type of thing today.
When I'm in those kind of funks I put on peppy music, perhaps it's a placebo effect but it helps. Hope your day turns around!

Yes, bookmarking is the key! That works well for me.
@kellyjellybellyjelly have you tried putting your spoon in hot water first before putting it in the ice cream? That seems to work.
@AngryViking1970, sorry your interview was rescheduled and it threw you off. That stinks. Just pretend it never happened. Good luck on Monday!
When I tried the Ben & Jerry's, it was so hard that I would microwave it on "Defrost" for 30 seconds before even ATTEMPTING to scoop or eat it. It works really well to make frozen-solid ice cream scoopable without melting it. 0 -

You just reminded me. We very rarely--like, once a year or so--drive to Bahrain (we're not too far from the border) for a fun kid's movie (Movie theaters are illegal in Saudi) and a full-on treat/day of fun. Last time I planned an absolutely elaborate EXACTLY-what-I'm-going-to-do-and-eat according to what I REALLY wanted, and almost everything I had planned for and was all excited about was closed down/no longer in business. Seriously. I was so sad.

Ewww. Just... ewww.
I'm normally hugely supportive of medical education and students... I devote a considerable amount of volunteer time to the cause. My family doctor often has a resident and I've always permitted the resident to practice on me. I'll never forget the time a female resident was doing my physical and found a lump doing my breast exam (it turned out to be cyst tissue), she went scampering out of the room to fetch my doc so fast...
But, yeah. Going forward, don't think I'd be comfy with a male student or resident doing anything pelvic. I had naively thought they were all detached and professional.
Disagree about the detached professional part, especially in college students, of all people. I would never, ever go to a male gynecologist. I swear, I'd rather die of uterine cancer than go to one. I have serious suspicions on why any male would go into the practice of gynecology other than nasty reasons (even if they DO become detached and professional after having practiced gynecology for many years), especially now that there are plenty of female gynecologists to be found.
I've always looked at it like men go in for the OB part of the OBGYN because they want to be responsible for bringing babies into the world. Maybe that's just me. I actually had a male student perform my exam once (male doc also in the room) and he was 1) super nervous, and 2) super polite about the whole thing - he even thanked me for giving him a chance.
I've seen both male and female docs (I spent WAY too much time at that office for a while) and don't really have a preference. I had one male doc who was awesome (I moved), and one was was a total [male anatomy]. I also had a female doc who could have cared less what I had to say about anything. I'm quite unbiased about gender on this, which I realize makes me kind of weird.0 -

Oh all the cat talk makes me sad as I cannot have any- I'm allergic
I am too. I actually had 10 years of weekly shots to get rid of the allergies. It didn't totally work, and I still need to use allergy meds if I end up with cat hair in my eye (it gets red and itchy), but it's bearable. I can't imagine not having cats. It's actually one of the reasons I'm sorta glad I never got a biological child, I would be heartbroken if I had a kid allergic to cats.
Honestly if it was up to me I'd have more cats, the only thing stopping me really is that I don't want them to go outside, but my cat goes outside still (and pees everywhere if we don't let her for longer than a week), so I can't get another cat right now anyway (well, and I guess my husband wouldn't be too happy about it either).
I managed to get rid of my dog allergies that way though, but I'm still badly allergic to everything else with hair (rabbits, horses etc). I can't even go in a carriage or I end up with a bad asthma attack. It makes me sad because I've always loved horses.0 -
I can't poop! Yep its gross and painful! My doctor has me on prescription miralax and at first It worked, but now its back to once a week. It gets uncomfortable because there comes a point my stomach gets big and my pants don't fit.
I drink water like a fish and run at least 3 days a week (I am tri training now)
But still.....
I tried to not eat red meat during lent, hoping that would alleviate the pains. Nothing. 0 -

You just KNOW it'll be something ridiculous like Sky or Easton or Star or Kompass... And to be fair, I actually do think the name North/Nori is cute. Just not with West.
So I wonder if they're clever enough to use "The North remembers" if the kid finds where they hide the candy.

this was a nightly problem for me.1-get checked for sleep apnea. 2-make sure you have had enough protein for the day, I try for 60 grams a day. 3- don't skip on dinner. 4- this really helps, drink a glass of skim milk before bed with a calcium pill.
This use to happen to me periodically (okay every night) and I put a lock on the pantry/ refrigerator when it's time for me to go to bed. I couldn't stand seeing a whole day of planful eating go down the drain when I would wake up to empty chip bags and cookie cartons:/Sometimes, I eat in bed and don't even remember. I wake up in the morning wondering why I'm not hungry, and then, I'm sad when I remember.
the milk should help with hunger,also can have a protein drink. I use muscle milk sugar free or unjury.

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!!
I am doing alright, thanks for asking! My health in general has just always kinda sucked. But there was just one day last week I ate an unbalanced breakfast and felt sick the rest of the day so that made me pissy. In general, I just have to be super on top of things, and make sure like I am well rested, eat properly, stay active and take all my daily meds and go to a million appts.....as long as I do all that, I can keep things -contained- for now anyway.
I got home at 4:30 from work, cleaned up and then I am not sure where most of the other time went, lol. It is almost 8pm now and I am just preheating the oven to warm up my pizza. I did have to waste an hour of my alone time napping, cuz I was so tired I was literally on this thread trying to read and doing the head bob, but I set my alarm for one hour so I would not waste my whole night!
Almost Big Brother time! Whoop whoop!
@Italian_Buju napping is NEVER a waste of time. EVER.

Same here, I've had cats all my life and I'm allergic, although only mildly. I use a prescription nasal spray and that seems to work ok, unless I get the cat hair directly in my eyes or up my nose, and that's why I always keep Reactin on hand for emergencies. I react to some dogs but not others, it depends on the type of fur they have.0 -
