    Another confession: I really want pizza tonight even though we had pizza last weekend. I kind of hate it when my in-laws order pizza because they always get 1/2 mushrooms on it and I abhor them. Those stinky little fungi never stay on their side.

    Ha! I could eat pizza with only mushrooms plus extra cheese. I've committed to no pizza in July, so I have to wait. However, I think I've convinced hubby to go to Comfy Cow for dinner. (Ice cream) :grin:

    I feel the same way about Italian sausage. Even if I picked them out of the pizza, their flavor still lingers... :s

    Confession: I have been wearing lots of sleeveless shirts to the office this summer and I constantly find myself feeling myself up...on my triceps, that is. I have triceps I can feel!!!

    Same. Except, I don't wear sleeveless tops to the office, but pretty much everywhere else. I love having muscles! It's better than having boobs, in my opinion.

    Ha! Yes, but I hate buying new bras...I hate shopping in general but bras and jeans are by far the worst.

    Even though I've lost a little over 8 lbs. since starting this almost a year ago, (I'm a VERY slow loser) my boobs have remained as small as they ever were. The ONLY time I had anything remotely close to real boobs was when I was pregnant and nursing. After I quit, they went far, far away never to be heard from or seen again. I'm okay with that, because Mr. Mo is a butt man anyway. :smiley:

    I have always been an A cup. I told Mr. NY that he must not be a boob man...his response? "I'm a YOU man". Points for Mr. NY! Lol.

    Awwww...

    Jealous. I know I've complained about this before but right now I am 118 pounds and still a 28FF(28H in American sizes). They will. not. go. away. no matter what I do - this is as low as I can go, either in weight or body fat percentage, and maintain it without issues, so the only other solution is surgery and I don't think I'm willing to do it yet (but I swear every day I get closer). This does not sound like a major problem on the outside and my girlfriends IRL have very little sympathy but my back disagrees, along with my wallet every time I have to shell out for another $120 bra in my size when the elastic gives out on a previous one.

    @peleroja, I know you've said before but where do you shop? It's time for new ones for me (I've just been wearing poor fitting bras for several years) and I should be wearing a 30DD or E, which is not something I'm going to find off the rack.

    This is bad, but I generally go to local specialty stores that carry my size and try on for fit, then order online at either barenecessities, figleaves, or just Amazon because they're much, much cheaper online. If you don't have a local shop that carries those kind of sizes though you can always order, try on, and return what doesn't work.

    The only brands that work for me are Freya (I can now just buy their Deco bra without trying it on because I know the fit is perfect) and Ewa Michalak (they will make 26 bands, which sometimes work better for me depending on how I'm maintaining and working out.) Chantelle is another popular brand for sizes like mine but I find them to fit large in the band and stretch out more quickly than others, and Curvy Kate (also very popular) just doesn't fit me right either but might work for you.

    Awesome, thanks!!

    @MoHousdon - save the night out for Saturday and just hang at home. Sounds like the best plan after a work out.

    We've got friends coming in town that we're going out with tomorrow night. They've opened a new brewery in town and we're going to check it out. Mr. Mo is VERY excited. I think we will just do the takeout and Breaking Bad thing. If we really put our minds to it, we may even be able to finish the series.

    Woke up to find our dog had died in the middle of the night. She was 11 years old. And we have no idea why it happened.

    One of my kids is devastated. The other doesn't even know yet, and I have to tell her soon.

    so so sorry :heartbreak:

    Ok... I have a fun question for you guys: What do you call soda? Do you call it pop, soda, soft drink, or coke (for all drinks)? I grew up in South Carolina and down there, as far as I'm concerned, pretty much all of us call it soda. I've never heard anyone actually say ''pop.'' And why would you call every soda ''Coke?" Coke is a specific drink!!!

    I took a quiz to see where in the US I sound like I'm from. Florida, Maine, and Boston were high up there (Boston, really?). Here's the quiz if you guys want something to do: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html

    :lol:

    EDIT: Apparently I sound absolutely nothing like people from Detroit.
    EDIT2: Took the quiz again and got three cities in California. No matter what it says Detroit is least similar.

    In northern England we say 'pop' In southern England (where I'm originally from) we say 'fizzy drink' because we lack imagination, but at least it covers everything that isn't coke.

    LMAO

    This, but olives. :p

    We went out for dinner last night and I had salad bar... thought I'd scooped up a black grape but considered it might be an olive... inspected it closely, decided it was definitely a grape, so in it went... OLIVE!! BLECH!

    Fortunately I had a forkful of broccoli salad ready to kill the taste, just in case.

    Spent over $100 on groceries, went to Taco Bell right afterwards.

    I used to do this every time I went to the grocery store. It took junking my car to break me of that habit! I haven't picked it up again, knock on wood.

    Confession: We do go out to eat right after (or before depending on how we feel) grocery shopping. :flushed:

    We usually do too. Who wants to shop hungry, or cook when you've just spent all that time shopping?! Not me.

    We went shopping this week while I was hungry... I bought all the foods! At one point the mancreature looked at me and was like seriously!?

    Sidenote: did y'all know there is oreos yogurt?! My inner fat kid nearly died with excitement when I saw them and then my mind was like NO YOU CANNOT HAS!

    We make the WORST food choices when we shop hungry. We try really hard not to do any kind of grocery shopping before we eat.

    Last night, we had to go to Target to get a baby shower gift for a shower tomorrow. I was fine with that because I was under the impression we were going to eat directly after (I only had a quest bar for lunch and then some cottage cheese for a snack, so I was pretty hungry) so no big deal. Mr. Mo takes FOREVER picking stuff of the registry and I was getting properly irritated with him. We finally choose what to get and head out. Instead of going to eat, he pulls into Lowe's parking lot. I was really annoyed at this point, and throw a little temper tantrum and say, "I knew we should have eaten first!" and slammed the car door. He just stared at me in total disbelieve.

    I'm like the Incredible Hulk in a way, except, it's you wouldn't like me when I'm hangry, instead of angry.

    I get the same way. In part of your head you KNOW you're being unreasonable, but you have no control over it.

    Ugg, olives. They always taste like they come straight out of a can to me. I don't even usually mind canned foods!

    Mr. Mo asked me what I wanted to do tonight before I left for work this morning, and all I could think of was stuffing my face with takeout, and binge watching Breaking Bad. I WANT to do something fun, but that would require a shower since I'll be all sweaty/stinky from working out, and then making an effort to find non-pj clothes. It's too much work.

    What about your plan is not fun? I think that sounds like a great evening!

    Seconded!

    Thirded!! Or maybed fifthed by this point (I'm behind). I binge watched a show called Parenthood. Now am watching Friday Night Lights. (Already watched Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Sherlock.) I have an ecclectic taste in TV. I :heart: many BBC shows and binge watch them when I can. Like Call the Midwife.

    So, I need to tell a sweet hubby story since everybody else is.

    I love to go dancing. Hubby can not find a beat. He signed us up for private dance lessons so he can dance with me. :grin:
    Last night was the first lesson. This will be a fun little diversion for us.

    I'm considering quitting my job because the boss's son in law that just started working here got a bigger annual bonus than me. This wouldn't be such a big deal if a) the son in law wasn't such a pretentious jerkwad and b) the bonus wasn't for the previous year in which HE DID NOT EVEN WORK HERE. I know I should just set my pride aside and be happy with what I did get but man is that hard to do.


    Oh, that STINKS like a dairy barn in the hot August sun!!!!


    This made me laugh out loud! Thanks for all of your responses. I guess I can always start looking for a fast food job as the minimum wage for fast food workers just got increased to $15 in New York. I get that people need a living wage but to me this is just ridiculous. That was more than I made when I first started working a couple years ago with a masters degree. Can you tell I feel slighted in all sorts of ways today?! Sorry to be such a downer!

    I am also one who envy's the heavy lifters. I love the results that are possible but honestly don't think I would enjoy it very much. I've recently joined a bootcamp class where my muscles are always super sore afterwards so maybe I've found a happy medium. Crossing my fingers I see results soon!

    In a place like New York City, how do you live on a wage less than that?

    I could definitely understand $15/hr in a place like New York City, but this is for the whole state and I live in rural upstate New York. That wage increase nearly doubles the current minimum wage of $8.75. It just stinks when you spend 6 years and $60,000 on a fancy degree to make the same amount as someone who didn't put that effort in.

    I feel like you might be trolling.....but in case you are not:


    "At least they listened to us. We're breathing little by little." — Flavia Cabral, 53, a grandmother from the Bronx who works part-time in a McDonald's for $8.75 an hour.


    11700831_893919504034438_4563210837702202284_n_zpssomba789.jpg



    Why does it matter to you what others make? It makes you angry that someone that works a minimum wage job can now feed their kids AND pay their rent? God forbid! It is not like it is coming out of your pocket! And clearly your degree is not all that fancy if you are making $15 an hour......

    sorry, but this is beyond out of line, mean and nasty. :/

    Soda. Always. Half of Pennsylvania says pop and I hate that half. [possible exaggeration]

    Newark/Paterson, NJ, New York, NY, and Yonkers, NY.

    I was born in north Jersey and lived there until I was 14. This quiz is 3000% accurate. ;)

    Awww!

    My husband is actually a decent dancer (he used to go to salsa lesson nights at a local bar, presumably to pick up women, in his single days, bahaha) but I am TERRIBLE at it. We've gone to a couple classes with friends but I usually just give up and hang out with a margarita and the husbands who are bad at it too while he dances with my girlfriends. I always feel bad and resolve to try again because I know he enjoys it but I am just terrible. In my next life I'd like to come back as someone who can dance without being a danger to everyone in the vicinity.

    I'd also like to point out that it DOES affect me. That money doesn't come from thin air. Everybody will be paying for it in the form of higher prices for pretty much everything. If I am also not getting a raise, that is a double hit to me. Buttttt this is the last I will say on this matter. Zipping my lips, promise! :|

    My mouth is hanging so far open that it might just fall off my face!

    Do you not think the prices of things raise during minimum wage freezes? Do you not think it affects those hard working people?

    I am literally floored......

    I don't care if I get hate for this, but this is one of the reasons so much of the world has such a poor image of Americans and how they think and behave.......

    My sister is American, and is a very high up in a very big company and makes a disgusting amount of money, I would be shocked to hear her say something like this.

    if she's making a disgusting amount of money, of course she's not going to say anything like that, it doesn't remotely effect her.
