I went to a baby shower Saturday, and there was homemade cupcakes, veggies and dip, nuts, chocolate covered pretzel sticks, watermelon, pistachio salad, and candy. I filled 2 small plates with veggies and little bit of dip, 1 pretzel, watermelon, mixed nuts, (just a few) 4 buttermints, (which I shared with Mr. Mo) and a small scoop of pistachio salad. I totally skipped the cupcakes!!! I didn't even feel like I was missing out because everyone that ate one, had blue lips and tongue.
Nice! What is pistachio salad? Sounds yummy.
Instant pistachio pudding mix is combined with whipped topping, miniature marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and nuts. This particular salad had a few too many marshmallows for me. I'm sure everyone makes theirs different, but this one was pretty good and not super heavy.
Okay, so no judgement and all, but...salad? SALAD? How is that a salad? LOL.
I'm young enough to have escaped all those things with Jello and Cool-Whip and marshmallows that people refer to as "salad", so I always find it kind of shocking that they still exist, hahaha.
In America, anything can be a salad. Throw a bunch of ingredients together, add some sort of "sauce", don't cook it, and it's a salad. These were really big in the 80's when Tupperware was all the rage. Not so much anymore. I DO love me some Waldorf Salad, though.
LMAO
that's one of the best statements ever!!!
and it is so true!0 -

I've never actually bought them, but there are a few people on the redit xxfitness board that love them and say they are decent quality. I just figured I share the love and your workout clothes purchasing
I do tend to gravitate to cheap workout clothes though - Target's Champion line is my default. I have a couple of pairs of pants that are 4 years old and still going strong. I can't imagine paying $90 for a pair of Lululemon workout pants, but I also know there are plenty of people who love those.
Enjoy Lion King today! (provided that's still happening, I haven't read anything yet today).0 -
I watch it (along with any other "bride" reality show I can find - Brides Gone Styled is another favourite right now) no matter who's home. My husband and our roommate call it my "lady TV" and love to make comments on it. They both know more about dresses than a lot of women at this point and will be like "Oh, no, you should NOT be in a mermaid, lady, you need an a-line," and "Ugh, that ruched satin looks like messy bedsheets." Interestingly, I ordered my dress online for $100 without trying it on and didn't really give a crap about it one way or the other and we had a TINY wedding...but I just like watching the rampant consumerism and excess and grown women acting like children and throwing tantrums when Daddy won't spring for the $6000 over budget dress.0 -

Sounds like an awesome day! What's everyone's favorite pizza?
Mine is either plain cheese, pizza with cheeseburger, sausage, & mushrooms, or pineapple pizza.
Lots of cheese, lots of mushrooms and sausage. If I can have unlimited toppings, I'll also add black olives, ham, roma tomatos.
I also like margherita pizza.
In my world, pineapple has no place on a pizza...
I agree. I don't understand pineapple and pizza.
Me either!! & my in-laws are all about it. Whenever we went out for or ordered pizza, I was always the odd one but now my SIL married someone that hates it as well. My favorite pizza is plain cheese but my husband thinks it's too boring. And I mentioned this before but please don't put mushrooms on 1/2 because I hate them and they don't stay on their side

I just checked out the 5 posts that I have that got flagged abuse. After reading them, I have NO IDEA WHY THEY GOT FLAGGED. If you're interested in seeing them, I can put them in the batcave and maybe someone can clue me in on what I'm missing.
I must admit, I'm highly annoyed by this.0 -

I really hope he goes to prison for this. Lions are such beautiful animals!
this made me incredibly sad too.
especially when you take into consider the additional fallout from his death. i believe i read that now his seven cubs are in danger of dying?? heartbreaking.
there's absolutely no excuse for this and i hope all the people involved get prosecuted.0 -

My other confession is that occasionally I've had extra cals after midnight and logged them for the next day.
I do that all the time! It's legit right?! lol0 -

Thankfully he was well enough to go to daycare yesterday or he would have been coming to work with me which, is no fun for anyone. Awww poor little man. I hope he is all better soon!
If his attitude is any indication he is 100 percent fine
Isn't it amazing how quickly they can bounce back! Glad to hear he's feeling better.0 -

Apparently I have no self control when it comes to cookies from Lenny's Subs.
ETA: Company provided lunch- subs, cookies, chips, etc. I passed on the chips, but am working on cookie #2.0 -

I have day's like this. I tend to wear baggy clothes and avoid all mirrors and reflective surfaces. I know some people suggest 'finding something positive in the mirror' but the only positive I ever find is that I like my eyebrows. lol
I think the worst part is my ex posted a picture of himself and his new woman on facebook. It PISSES ME OFF that 'I' was never worthy of a photo with him on facebook.
I thought I was over it but Sgt. Sexy Pants and I are at odds at the moment which is totally exacerbating this whole feeling of 'not being good enough.'
I anticipate a run with my dog after work to channel all of this hurt and anger. I only hope my poor Tessa can keep up.
i would not only unfriend that person, but block them as well. completely wipe the slate, you don't need to feel that way. you're AWESOME!
if you don't mind me asking (or if i missed it previously) what's going on with SSP?0 -

I get my workout clothes at Target and if I can catch a clearance sale, JC Penney or Macy's. I like cheap stuff, but I honestly have a couple pair of Champion or C9 pants from Target and they're still awesome. I have to get the Short length in whatever (or clearance capris, they're ankle length on me lol) so I'm much happier spending $25 on Target pants instead of $90 or whatever on Lululemon. There's a brand Nordstrom sells (can't remember) that are SO soft and comfy but they're like $70 too and I'm not wearing anything like that until after my surgery when I can justify the cost.
I do, however, own 4 pairs of Pink sweatpants and like 3 of their sweatshirts. They're comfy. I don't care if I'm beyond the teenager demographic :P0 -

Confession: I found out last night that a friend I used to work with has just been charged with second-degree murder of his wife, who has been missing since November. I'm having a hard time and am absolutely shocked, and still don't really believe it, even though the police quotes say he's been concealing the body at his home for the past 8 months. It just doesn't seem to compute at all against the person I remember.
This is just horrible. How do people do that? How do people not SMELL the decaying body?
They do smell it and they end up telling the police later that they felt bad for the guy or didn't really think anything of it because he is so nice! Like what happened with John Wayne Gacy.
Ahhh don't get me started on JWG!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothea_Puente
This lady was an older serial killer & she basically had a room in her house that they dubbed the killing room. She would board people that had mental, drug, or other issues & then steal their social security. Whenever they would figure out what she was doing she would murder them & then have the other tenants basically do "yard work" which more or less was graves for bodies.
I've seen a few specials on her! She's been on a few different shows on the Investigation Discovery channel! People are insane!
Yes. And this may have come up before, but I love ID. It's my "home alone" channel because my husband thinks it's creepy. LOL
I love the ID Channel. My stepdad always tells my mom that she watches it so she can learn how to murder him. The one day I had it on & my dog was sitting there watching it & I couldn't help but think that she'll murder me in my sleep.
It would appear on an episode Cold Case Files: The Murderous Dog
You're probably joking, but I found this while searching for a news article I read several years ago about a man who was killed by his dog in the same way while duck hunting:

I came back from 21 year old daughter's house with 2 hoodies, 2 pair of fuzzy pajamas, and several shirts that she was getting ready to donate. I also don't care if I'm beyond the teenager demographic! (I still can't believe we are now the same size!)0 -

ETA: I "learned" to date in my 40's. I never "dated" like that before, I didn't know how to do it. It was so fun and cool (and scary) to discover so much about myself. I was always 100% myself and clear that I was looking for a good relationship. I did work hard on keeping good boundaries and only dating men who didn't raise red flags.
What are some red flags for people?
The one's I really looked for:
Very angry/resentful toward someone (i.e., ex, mother, sibling, etc.) even if deserved it should not come out in date #1 or #2.
Pushing for "cuddles" or anything else very quickly.
Not understanding what an appropriate level of activity for a first or second date would be (i.e. writing a song for me after one email exchange, planning a weekend away in another state for a second date.)
Not having an appropriate job for his age (i.e. I am in the middle age dating pool, I want to date someone not support him financially.)
What other red flags come to mind?
Not letting me do things for myself e.g. insisting on ordering something for me instead of letting me order what I want and other weird signs of dominance.
Talking about their ex repeatedly in anyway. Glowing terms can be just as bad as negative ones. My ex girlfriend was so good to me she'd drop everything to make me my favorite dinner and then she'd clean up the entire kitchen.
Treating staff where ever you go badly. I think you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat people who're waiting on them.
Calling too much (I had one guy literally calling me over 30 times in one day) or too little (if you haven't heard from them in a month they're not really interested).
I agree with these and the others listed earlier. Good stuff
I would also add
If you are a mom the guy wanting to be insta-dad. I vaguely mentioned my kids in my profile and more than one man in the first email offered to help raise them. No thank you.
The player who is almost seems like relationship material but fails. He comes so close and is charming and good looking and rich. And them you realize he's flakey as heck. And his almost commitments are insincere and then he tells you he's been divorced twice not just once and was with wife #2 while still with wife #1. And then you let him know no more. You will not be going out with him again.
No projects. He is not there to fix or improve you. You are not there to fix or improve him.
You have to like each other as people and be interested in who that person is. That means no projecting. One man kept trying to put words into my mouth about what I liked and what I did for fun.
Where was this advice when I was dating? You should teach a class! All the single ladies, looking for someone, in this thread should start taking notes!!
I really agree with how does he treat people who are in the service industry. Kindness and human decency are priorities to me.
How does he treat animals?
BIG red flag - is he always the victim and life is not fair and it is always someone else's fault. RUN!!!
So much these! And describes himself as a nice guy--if you really are, you don't need to advertise it.
For me:
-Religious. Haven't yet met a religious man who didn't try to change me or didn't force the issue of my atheism.
-Discusses his ex in any capacity too close to the beginning. Asks about your exes.
-Has hang-ups about purity. More of an issue for you younger girls, but RUN from dudes who are obsessed with knowing about your sexual past or try to make you feel bad for things you've done in the past.
-Too many sexual jokes before you've had sex.
-Pressures you to do anything you're uncomfortable with. ANYTHING. This is a red flag because it shows he doesn't really care about your feelings or anything besides what he wants and needs. Potential rapist.
-Is unwilling to do new things/has a meltdown if plans go awry. I sympathize with this, as I realize it's generally a neurological thing, but I personally can't deal with it. There are many more patient people than me, so if this describes you, ignore me.
-Bad mouths his mom. I would make an exception for someone I got to know somewhat before discussion of childhoods occurred. But then again, people don't generally bring up their drug-addicted child-beating jailbird moms on the first date.
-Brings up a mutual female friend several times on the first "date". That one's self-explanatory, right?
-Wants to stay home and be taken care of. I know there are women in this world for whom a stay-at-home dad is ideal, but I don't ever see myself making the kind of bank it takes for that to happen, yet I keep meeting men like this.
-Is sexist/defends sexist behavior and media. Same with racist behavior and media. Any man who needs to feel like he's above someone by virtue of his birth is horribly insecure (and probably for good reason, since he ain't worth ####).
I'm currently single and currently not looking. One bad marriage was more than enough.
omg this!
i went out with one dude that texted me these ridiculous innuendos, and then referenced them on our date. totally skeeved me out!!!0
