    So confession that I haven't been to my gym in several years, but still have the membership. Can't just toss a $25/yr membership, even if I am not using it. Well, today is the day I go reaquaint myself with this space. I just hope I don't get accosted by the Weight Watchers people that are now attached to the gym.

    That's a bargain. I wish I could find a gym that cheap. Let us know how it goes.

    You know! I pay $60 a MONTH.

    Yeah, mine is more like $100 a month. I thought all gyms seemed cheap in the US. I think they work to a different business model.

    Holy crap! What do you get for that?

    Just a standard gym really. They're just a lot more expensive here. The budget ones are getting more common here, but they're all in town centres and as I don't lice or work there parking and traffic makes it less than ideal.

    confession,
    When we bought our house the previous occupants left this poem on the refrigerator. I haven't taken it down for 8 years.

    Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
    To paint a picture or write a letter,
    Bake a cake or plant a seed,
    Ponder the difference between want and need?

    Dust if you must, but there is not much time,
    With rivers to swim and mountains to climb,
    Music to hearing books to read,
    Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

    Dust if you must, but the world's out there,
    With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
    A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
    This day will not come again.

    Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
    Old age will come and it’s not kind.
    And when you go- and go you must-
    You, yourself, will make more dust

    It helps when I start "squirreling it"

    I like the poem! And that is such a cute/funny video too. My son was cracking up! Thanks for sharing, @raymax4!

    I'm having batcave problems. On my app or the browser on my phone it shoes none of the threads. It shows all the users etc and events etc, but not the threads. Anyone got any ideas. I hardly ever go on my laptop so I always keep up on my phone and now I can't see what you all are saying :(

    I wish I could help but I don't use MFP on my phone! :(
    Sorry...I'm sure someone will be able to help you!!

    My husband is having the same issue with his phone. I believe it's a group-related glitch in the latest phone app. I'm not too sure what's going on with your phone browser, though--maybe it automatically uses the app software when you access MFP from there and hits the same glitch? The tablet app and phone app aren't the same, so luckily I haven't had the issue on my tablet.

    It started doing it on the browser first, which I'd started using as I could see pictures, then I've just got a new phone and it's doing it on the app too. Maybe my app wasn't up to date on my old phone. I'll try it on my tablet, although, like many people, i look at work, which I do on my phone because our Internet usage is monitored, so can't do that on my tablet.

    I think I ate every sweet thing I came across in my house today. I was kept awake last night by a buzz saw next to me. I tried to sleep in another room, but we only have theatre seating in the living room. Those things are NOT conducive to sleep. I have been tired all day. I did make myself walk on my treadmill for almost two hours, so I did try to do damage control with the all the junk I ate today. Give me strength to do better tomorrow.... :(

    Hope it is better tonight!

    You'll be fine. And 2 hours is really impressive. Just try and get some sleep.

    So I feel a little insane right now, to put it mildly. My husband bought me a ring for Christmas/our 3rd anniversary last year (our anniversary is on Valentine's day). I've noticed my original wedding set feeling a little loose lately, and the set he bought me was too small when we got it. We were going to get it resized, but never seemed to have enough money. Tonight. on a hunch, I tried it on. It fits on my ring finger of my left hand, but is still too small for my right ring finger. My wedding set fits on my pointer finger, but I want it on my ring finger. My newer set only fits on my ring finger. I decided that instead of resizing both sets, I'd just stack them. Then, I got so excited about all four rings fitting on one finger, that I took a picture as evidence that my finger has really gotten smaller. I didn't like the first picture, so I took 51 others until I found the one I really like :astonished: I only know it was 51 more because my trashcan told me so.

    In short, I've spent 20 minutes, minimal, trying to get a good picture because I'm happy my finger isn't as fat as it was 10 months ago. Now, I feel absolutely batshit crazy.

    I'm feeling seriously discouraged that while I'm now a size 22/20 jeans more than a couple friends who are the same height and weight or bigger are 3 sizes smaller. :(

    I wear three different sizes in the same brand. Cuts and sizes can be weird. Plus brands are inconsistent and throw in some vanity sizing and the numbers are meaningless.

    First focus on fit and what is most flattering to you.

    Second. Why do you care what size your friends wear?

    Hugs

    Thanks. It worked on my tablet, it also works if I use the other browser that isn't chrome, and shows pictures, which it doesn't on the app on either device, so that's good :)

    This is so true. I hate it..it is what kills me. I work so hard with my running, walking, and videos for it to all be killed by my awful sleeping.
    I hope you can get some sleep soon!

    They are also probably built different from you. My sister and I were about the same weight for a while and she was in size 18 pants while I was wearing a 12.

    I however, was wearing an xl top still and she wears l or m.

    She's a pear shape and I'm not. I don't know what shape I'm going to be when I'm done.

    I find those ear plugs you get at Home Depot, for working with power tools work well. They are little foam bullets that you squish the air out then put them in your ear. They expand in your ear blocking all moised
