Before I start catching up I have a rant/confession. I hate hate HATE people who leave the queue and then expect to go back in the same place. I could just be a British thing, but I'm sorry, you left the queue, you go to the back! I was queuing up at reception to go the the gym at lunch and some lady came back and was like "Oh I just dropped my son off at the nursery I was here." Well Sh_t, the other day I realised whist in the queue that I left my hairband in the car, did that mean I could push back in when I got back? NO. I went to the back of the queue.
But of course I just smiled and moved back, because I prefer to bottle up my anger and spew it back up all over the internet.
Rant over. Happy Friday everyone!
That is so British. We moan about lack of queue etiquette, and then we go all polite when people misbehave. You're right though. Rude!0 -
Confession: Standing in line at Starbuckies just now and a rough looking gentleman was in front of me with the shopping tags still on his pants. I debated about saying anything because i thought it was funny. But then thought if I did something like that, I would want to be told. So I told him. I wish I didn't because he was intoxicated an started mumbling/talking to me and I couldn't understand a word he said so I smiled and nodded in response.0

The wasps around my area are a lot more chill than the carpenter bees to be honest.
Indeed. Even my wasp-phobic daughter is learning to love bees.qn4bx9pzg8aifd wrote: »
I have 4 hives and a Nuc Split this year... My plan was to get a single hive. Now Im collecting swarms and doing a trapout on a friends home. Sadly Ive become more addicted to their incredible beehavior and fascinating daily activities.AngryViking1970 wrote: »ME TOO! I'm desperate for some. Also I want a beehive. The latter is allowed where we are, but we don't have a very big yard and I don't think our neighbours would like it much. I also want goats.
We keep bees on our property and it's pretty awesome. We had a nice honey harvest last year with 4 hives, so we expanded to 8 this year. They're all pretty active; so far, so good!
I would love to have goats! And chickens!
How could one not?! -- they're incredible!
ETA: 'Git' is kind of English for 'jerk'.
Plus, fig wasps are the only fig pollinators out there. That alone is enough to for wasps to be alright in my book.
Twist of irony, hubby works in pest control, can handle just about every type of insect/spider and rodent. He's absolutely terrified of flying bugs (bees, flies, etc), and this is busy season for "bee jobs" and the like. It's absolutely hilarious to see this grown man running around and shrieking at a fly or bee. :laugh:
To add, he finds it funny too, and laughs at it as well. Just so I'm not sounding like an *kitten* wife lol.
my husband hates bees & wasps too. One time we were stopped in traffic in a construction zone and a wasp flew into the car. He screamed like a girl jumped out and ran around the car. Nothing is as funny as seeing a grown 7'2' dude run around a car in traffic because of a flying insect (I was mildly embarrassed because everyone was looking at us but it was still funny)FluffySandwich wrote: »
Look at this guy snuffling into a flower. One of the only bugs I will ever call ''cute.''
That is cute! I don't mind bees so much, it's hubby that has the "beef" lol. On that note, my kid has begun to act like him. We have I'm guessing one of the last remaining McDonald's with a play place in it, and she insists we eat there. They leave the windows open, I mean it's SC it can get as hot as the devil's asscrack, so inevitably flies and other flying things wander in and out. Holy hell, the meltdowns!
I'm from SC, too! I think our parents greatly influence what we grow up to be scared of. My mom has a horrible spider phobia and all of us (except my sister, who thinks SPIDERS are cute.... WHAT?) inherited this, probably from watching her react to them. Then again, who isn't scared of spiders? 
You mean those nopes from the land of Aw Hell Naw?
What part of SC are you from? I'm in Laurens.
I'm about an hour out from Columbia lol! I couldn't live up there, too cold for me haha!0 -

I don't have the energy at the moment to quote every single one of you but please know that I have read and appreciate every single reply.
Re: not blaming myself.. The logical part of my brain knows deep down it wasn't my fault it's just being her carer I feel responsible for her y'know? Thinking of what I would say to a friend if they were in my situation was good advice.
Heading up to the hospital shortly.. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed for you!0 -

Yes, awesome job!!! I'm looking forward to my turn to be at goal weight! Only 57 lbs to go......0 -
Holy Calorie Count Batman!!! Had another REALLY bad day food wise yet again the scale dropped. WTH??? I know that I cannot continue that way. I start fresh and try to keep to my numbers. I will not make excuses for it. I could blame the ice cream talk here, but for some reason all I want is ice cream lately.0

Actually your right, that bit is probably more British that Queue etiquette

I usually weigh in on Friday morning, but I just didn't want to get on the scale today. It's not like I've gone off the rails this past week, but I don't think I can mentally handle seeing a gain today. I think I'll just take this week off from the scale.0

I would do the same. And then in response to the drunken mumbling I would also smile and nod, standard response I think0 -
I eat less during the day when I know I'll be drinking that night. Keeps me under my calories with a bonus of getting intoxicated cheaply thanks to the empty stomach. Maybe not the healthiest habit in the world...
I must confess this is my plan today.
Today is the day that I get to see New Kids on the Block in concert. Don't judge. I've loved them for forever and have never seen them in concert. I hope they don't play anything new as I don't know anything new, only what my 14 year old self rocked out to so long ago. I only want to hear those gems while getting intoxicated which as a 14 year old loving NKOTB never thought would ever occur. Aww dreams do come true.
