I judge people who go the the gym religiously 4-5 days a week but never seem to lose weight or otherwise appear fit as having bad eating habits that are completely undoing their hard work.0

I weigh myself first thing in the morning, and then after I use the restroom and strip down. Even my socks come off.
I like to see if it changes at all lol.0 -

I also get super angry about small stuff. For example, when I can't find something in my purse...it absolutely pisses me off if I can't get to something immediately. I realize I'm the one who put all that crap in there, but still, it makes me mad.
Hahaha this is me too! I have so much stuff in there and I always try to declutter but then I'm like, "hmm, I might need this so this stays, this too..." etc. So frustrating!
Me too, lol.0 -

Sadly I am this person (but don't worry, I also judge myself for it lol). But hey, I'd weigh a lot more if I didn't ever workout, and I am the strongest I've ever been.

Oh just thought I'd another. I can't sleep unless my hands and feet are slathered in Vaseline (with socks).i also need some under my nose and on my lips.

I half way agree and half way don't. I am thinking of a whole crowd of older gents who come to play racquetball, get on the stationary bike with their newspaper or to watch a game. Their beer belly stays the same, but hey, they are getting in some cardio and burning some calories... so better than nothing?

I admire anyone who makes it to the gym 4-5 days a week. You are my heroes. I don't care about what you weigh. Especially since I have learned being heavy does not mean you are not fit.0 -

Nothing wrong with that
I confess I'm hoping for something romantic and meaningful from SO as well 
My husband is not really good at that kind of gift giving. Last year I got new pots and pans and the year before it was a Keurig. Appreciated gifts for sure, but romantic gestures they are not.
Mine bought me a KitchenAid mixer the other day. I said, oh good and early Christmas gift. He told me he knew better than to get me anything like that for Christmas, even if I asked for it.
Ha! That's cute!
Maybe it's because I really enjoy cooking, but I totally think pots and pans or a mixer is a romantic gift.
A couple of years ago my husband bought me the glass bowl for my Kitchenaid for Christmas after our roommate accidentally smashed mine and I nearly cried, I was so happy to stop having to use the stainless one I hated, and I thought it was really sweet of him to pay attention and know that I missed my glass one.
I love this! I try really hard to listen to what people want and to get them something they won't get themselves, but really really want. I sometimes wish the folks in my life would do the same for me. I actually feel a bit hurt when people get me something I have no need for and would never want...that says you don't know me at all!
I love jewelry but with the barn and running, etc. I never wear it anymore except for a few key items that never come off so its kind of a waste now too. I have mostly learned to just buy for myself anything I want, so I am not disappointed when people don't get me something I really want (but I usually still am...).
This makes me worry that I'll get you something you hate! I'm a REALLY bad gifter, even when I wrack my mind for hours over people I've known forever. I don't know why, but I'm just horrible at it! :-/
Don't worry about it...if you got me anything I would be truly appreciative. You don't see me day to day and listen to me day after day so I would never expect you to know I wouldn't like x but was really hoping for y and you bought me z because YOU thought it was cute.
ETA: Sorry that probably didn't come out right in how I intended it so thought that needed some editing. You thought it was cute (but I would NEVER wear and nothing I own indicates I would wear it) or because you have one (but I would never want one). Like buying me a massage. I hate massages. I would never use that. Everyone knows I hate them. But because you think I should like them you buy me a gift certificate for one. Yes, sister, I am thinking of you.
I definitely don't do that. I try to think of what the person would like, not what I would like! I'm hoping to get you something traditionally Omani, so that it will be completely unique.
Are there traditional.Omani horse blankets, because I think that would be a cool thing to show off at the barn.
I have no clue, actually, but I do know that His Majesty loves horses and maintains a large stable where Omanis can learn to ride for free, so who knows what kind of horsie blankets I can find... I actually wouldn't know where to go to find horse stuff, though!
That is super cool. My son would love that. He wants to ride, but since I'm allergic, I can't teach him. I should get him riding lessons.
yes you should.0 -

so, if I ever get to make my trip to Israel, I should also visit Oman while I am on your side of the world? You make it sound so interesting.
Oman is beautiful, and it's interesting if you're the outdoorsy type. The shopping isn't any different from anywhere else in the world (in fact it's quite inferior the the U.S. in terms of shopping/buying options), but we have beautiful bazaars, spelunking caves, amazing coral reefs, and beautiful ancient forts and castles to explore. We even have a haunted city.
I'm not sure if you could enter Oman with an Israeli stamp on your passport, however. I happen to know that there is a lifetime ban on entering Saudi Arabia for anyone who visits Israel, and Oman may be the same.[/quote]
hmmm. really? I thought Oman was more open in general? I just got an email for Ironman Middle East in Bahrain. It sounds so fabulous!0 -

Not at the royal stables, but we do have plenty of regular ones where you can rent horses by the hour. (They aren't cheap though, so be warned--my mom says it's a whole lot cheaper in the U.S. to ride by the hour/day than it is in Oman). 0 -

Usually it is. In fact, Oman tries to stay strictly neutral in almost all cases; but Israel is a huge sore point in the Gulf so I'm actually not sure about it--I've never asked. Bahrain is right next door to me, you should run it and I'll cheer you on! 0 -

Absolutely. Bahrain is only an hour and a half away by car. As long as it isn't during Mr. Susie's exams (and I doubt that they'd schedule an Ironman around exams?) I would be able to be there, at least at the finish line!! (I don't do well with crowds, so if it was crowded I'd watch from afar and meet you after) And we could catch lunch afterward or hang out.
ETA: I just checked it out. Dec. 10, 2016? Totally do-able. I'm not sure, is it a re-occurring yearly thing or just a one-off?0 -

Well, her riding experiences were from 30 years ago, so I assume it was cheaper back then! It's about 16 dollars an hour, is that crazy expensive? I have no clue how much riding costs over there...0 -

I have mostly learned to just buy for myself anything I want, so I am not disappointed when people don't get me something I really want (but I usually still am...).
This makes me worry that I'll get you something you hate! I'm a REALLY bad gifter, even when I wrack my mind for hours over people I've known forever. I don't know why, but I'm just horrible at it! :-/
Don't worry about it...if you got me anything I would be truly appreciative. You don't see me day to day and listen to me day after day so I would never expect you to know I wouldn't like x but was really hoping for y and you bought me z because YOU thought it was cute.
ETA: Sorry that probably didn't come out right in how I intended it so thought that needed some editing. You thought it was cute (but I would NEVER wear and nothing I own indicates I would wear it) or because you have one (but I would never want one). Like buying me a massage. I hate massages. I would never use that. Everyone knows I hate them. But because you think I should like them you buy me a gift certificate for one. Yes, sister, I am thinking of you.
I definitely don't do that. I try to think of what the person would like, not what I would like! I'm hoping to get you something traditionally Omani, so that it will be completely unique.
Are there traditional.Omani horse blankets, because I think that would be a cool thing to show off at the barn.
I have no clue, actually, but I do know that His Majesty loves horses and maintains a large stable where Omanis can learn to ride for free, so who knows what kind of horsie blankets I can find... I actually wouldn't know where to go to find horse stuff, though!
Can I go ride there when I come visit? Do they accept visitors?
Not at the royal stables, but we do have plenty of regular ones where you can rent horses by the hour. (They aren't cheap though, so be warned--my mom says it's a whole lot cheaper in the U.S. to ride by the hour/day than it is in Oman).
It must be crazy expensive then, because riding by the hour around here is not cheap either.
Well, her riding experiences were from 30 years ago, so I assume it was cheaper back then! It's about 16 dollars an hour, is that crazy expensive? I have no clue how much riding costs over there...
I would not call $16 an hour crazy expensive. I have paid more than $50 an hour occasionally. I have seen it cost more too.0 -
I judge people who go the the gym religiously 4-5 days a week but never seem to lose weight or otherwise appear fit as having bad eating habits that are completely undoing their hard work.
This is my husband you're judging and I was the same way. NOW, I'm just happy I am not fighting him to go to the gym. Oh, and I'm enjoying his new muscles. 0 -

My husband is not really good at that kind of gift giving. Last year I got new pots and pans and the year before it was a Keurig. Appreciated gifts for sure, but romantic gestures they are not.
Mine bought me a KitchenAid mixer the other day. I said, oh good and early Christmas gift. He told me he knew better than to get me anything like that for Christmas, even if I asked for it.
Ha! That's cute!
Maybe it's because I really enjoy cooking, but I totally think pots and pans or a mixer is a romantic gift.
A couple of years ago my husband bought me the glass bowl for my Kitchenaid for Christmas after our roommate accidentally smashed mine and I nearly cried, I was so happy to stop having to use the stainless one I hated, and I thought it was really sweet of him to pay attention and know that I missed my glass one.
I love this! I try really hard to listen to what people want and to get them something they won't get themselves, but really really want.

Closer to $100 or even more. We charge $75 an hour for an hour lesson. $65 if it's your horse. And we are relatively cheap compared to other barns. Trail riding I am unsure as I rarely go but in Montauk I think it's $65 for an hour and a half usually.0 -

hmmm. really? I thought Oman was more open in general? I just got an email for Ironman Middle East in Bahrain. It sounds so fabulous!
Usually it is. In fact, Oman tries to stay strictly neutral in almost all cases; but Israel is a huge sore point in the Gulf so I'm actually not sure about it--I've never asked. Bahrain is right next door to me, you should run it and I'll cheer you on!
Seriously? Could you / Would you get there if I went to that one? I have been interested in doing that one for a long time, it sounds incredible.
Absolutely. Bahrain is only an hour and a half away by car. As long as it isn't during Mr. Susie's exams (and I doubt that they'd schedule an Ironman around exams?) I would be able to be there, at least at the finish line!! (I don't do well with crowds, so if it was crowded I'd watch from afar and meet you after) And we could catch lunch afterward or hang out.
ETA: I just checked it out. Dec. 10, 2016? Totally do-able. I'm not sure, is it a re-occurring yearly thing or just a one-off?
Recurring. I doubt I can swing 2016 or even 2017. Too bad it doesn't occur when it's Oman time and I could combine them.0 -

Well, these aren't lessons--these are for people who can ride on their own. Pay the money, leave some form of ID as collateral, and the horse is yours for an hour. These stables are usually on the beach.0 -

I judge people who go the the gym religiously 4-5 days a week but never seem to lose weight or otherwise appear fit as having bad eating habits that are completely undoing their hard work.
My husband went to the gym with me for a little while before he changed his eating habits. But I have a few people in my gym whom I have seen there regularly since I joined and they always do the same machine for 30 minutes and leave and I can think of two women and one man who have gained fat. (I have gained weight lifting, but I look better.) I guess doing something is better than doing nothing, but it isn't doing much good if you let that thirty minutes on the treadmill give you permission to eat all the foods, then I judge you as doing it wrong.0 -

That would match to trail riding. Although usually you have a guide.0
