I'm a little freaked out this week, I'm going in for a colonoscopy on Thursday. Fun prep day tomorrow.
No, I'm not old enough for it to be needed, but there is a TON of colon cancer in my family, so I'm being safe.
I missed commenting on a ton of things, but just know that I care deeply and I'm going to try to do a better job of keeping up even when I'm on the road.
Glad you're back. Hope things go well on Thursday! Keep us in the loop!0 -

That's very observant of you, @girldownsouth, especially since you live in another country! USC graduate here, @TigerNY128.
That would be awesome if you, @raelynnsmama52512, and I could get together. Although almost every weekend is booked up for us until school starts back in late August. 0 -

seriously? yeah because trying to guilt me into letting you come over to my place is an AWESOME first date.
then i get home and i have all these msg's from him saying he's leaving the dating website he found me on because he just can't handle how ppl are, and what was my problem that i couldn't trust him?!
well duh, we live in the same area, of course that makes him trustworthy!
sigh...
Because he can't handle how dating website girls aren't easy lays?
Since "snuggle" sounds like code for "go to your place and proceed to manipulate/coerce/guilt trip you into putting out", I'd say you dodged a bullet with that one. Ick.
Isn't that what Tinder is for?
(I've never used it so don't actually know how it works)
I thought it was a legit dating site (saw a show about it, maybe Doc Zone??) but that -- like every other dating site, says my cynical side -- it was primarily used as a hookup site.
The one that really bugs me is Ashley Madison, which apparently is specifically for married/committed dudes to find a discreet piece on the side.
For the record, I have nothing against casual hookups provided all parties involved are on the same page about the nature of the interaction. Hidden agendas and pretense always annoy me.
I think everyone can sleep with whoever they want as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult. If you want multiple partners say so, don't cheat! I think there would be way less arguments and divorces if people were just open about what they wanted and could commit to.

Both my cat and dog are giant wusses. Muffin (the cat) in particular was terrified of the vacuum. The roomba is quieter than the regular vacuum though and she actually will be in the same room as it and watch it. I'll never get an awesome video like this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQyCkwAA&url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLt5rBfNucc&ei=v-GSVYmpMdCoogS-qLugBg&usg=AFQjCNGLgzKzR3Mpc-0rEj_OreHyWVj_bQ&sig2=lxrm_dXLesIOEwZ0OtqqOQ&bvm=bv.96783405,d.cGU but she does OK.0 -
Some good, some bad & a confession..
Good: I cycled for over 500 miles this month, for the first time, ever. My previous high was around 467. Very proud today.
Bad: I discovered last night, the first girl I fell in love with and was always special to me, died back in 2011 from a prescription pain pill overdose. They found her unresponsive and shut down life support some days later. She left behind 2 grown daughters and a toddler daughter. Tragic.
Confession: When I brought my work clothes to work yesterday (to wear today) I forgot to pack boxer briefs so I am forced to go commando all day. lol
So sorry about your friend. Fantastic on your NSV. I have frequently done that. And forgot shoes, pants, clothes and computer. When I worked in Manhattan it was no problem I just went to gap. Now that I work in NJ back home I go....0 -

I hear ya. My two hairballs are in full shed mode right now and I had to empty the stick vac TWICE when I vacuumed on the weekend. Oh, and Littlest Hairball barks absolutely nonstop when the vacuum is on, so it can only be done when they're outside.
Confession: I'd like to murder whomever decided bagless vacuums were the way to go... I end up dusty (which I'm allergic to!) every time I empty the thing. I know, I know... the stick vac holds less... but wrestling off the canister on the upright created even more of a mess, at least the stick is easier to empty.0 -

I admit that I was lazy and went down in the elevator the second time, then climbed back up the three flights, took the elevator back down, repeat.
At least I did the "up" part, right? 
Sooo much awesomeness! WELL DONE!!
Yes, going up stairs is the hard part, that's the one that counts.
I did it again!! Nine flights up, nine flights down. But now I'm thirsty and I still have three hours of fasting to go.
Uh-oh. Are you allowed to suck on an ice cube or something to rehydrate a little, or will that compromise fasting?
You can rinse your mouth, but you can't swallow. But I'm alright now that I've rested a bit and stopped breathing hard. But I may have overdone it; my legs are all a-wobble like jell-O! 
You'll probably be sore but that is how you know you are working hard. And stairs are HARD!0 -

Yes and no. I run it everyday, because why not, and at first it was super gross and couldn't get through a carpeted room without needing to be emptied. SOO much hair (large dog and long-haired cat) and it clearly did a better job than I or my husband did. But after about a week, it can can do its whole job without needing to be emptied.
Editted: it's vs its error that would make me crazy0 -

Make sure you scream HOOTIE. He looooves that. Ask me how I know.

Actually, DR haaates that. So unless you want the stink eye, don't do it! (DR was at a benefit and my friend got hammered and kept calling him Hootie all night, DR was not amused... but I sure as hell was!)

ETA this truncating of posts just doesn't work sometimes.
You have to make sure you don't delete the coding at the beginning or the quotes won't show in their own boxes. For example, when quoting this post I removed all of the other quotes that got messed up, but I left the part at the beginning that says: quote="pofoster21;33077019" within a pair of brackets. That's what creates the quote box, and adding /quote within brackets is what ends the quote box.
Yeah I try to do that. But I think sometimes I may be overzealous in the deleting on my phone....
I wouldn't even try on my phone! Highlighting blocks of text to delete isn't a great success, and I'd have to backspace for hours to get rid of it otherwise... then it suddenly speeds up of its own accord and deletes stuff I wanted to retain.
I pretty much only use my phone to see images that get blocked at work.
That is EXACTLY what happens to me. Hence the weird posts sometimes.0 -

We're super great and super awesome! I'm actually seriously considering going and doing it again.
True! But the mind of a woman is a terribly scary place.
Too true. And you are super super great. You did it twice!0 -

I've been meaning to tell you, that I actually met him a long time ago. It was in a bar in Five Points. I kept looking at this guy at the end of the bar and thought he was really cute. So, a friend of a friend introduced me to him and I didn't catch his name because it was so loud in the bar. And then my friends and I had to leave right after that. When we get outside the bar, my friend said, 'I've never met a famous person before'. And I was like, 'What are you talking about'? She proceeds to tell me that was Darius Rucker. Moral of the story: he's either much better looking in person or I was drunk. Although I've always been a sucker for a bald guy with facial hair!
Ok, now I'm super jealous lol! I'm so excited for Thursday!
My dear old mother has asked me why I want to lose weight. Well, this is why:
I look forever pregnant. (Which, wouldn't be a bad thing, IF I ACTUALLY EFFING WAS!) Sigh, at least the 6lb drop today is heading in the right direction, now to hit my goal of 140lbs by January 1st!
You can do it! Just keep tracking and moving!

I forget where folks are from, specifically (I think I have everybody's country down, and some of the US states), so I'll just ask!
Any body in the Philadelphia/South Jersey/North Delaware area? We should get together! It could also be expanded into Eastern PA, North Jersey, and maybe even Northeast Maryland. Depends who is willing to make a trek.
I am! New Jersey. I go to Philadelphia often enough. It's only like 45 min from me. Do you run at all? Maybe we could meet and run or walk a 5k? Or walk in the park. I am up for it! I just hope you're not like....I don't like her in real life! (Assuming you like me in virtual life of course!)
yay for Jersey!!! I went to Seton Hall for undergrad (No one here in MI even knows the school unless they're basketball fans). I've told DH I would live near the Pine Barrens in a hot second. He does not share my enthusiasm
