We would not get along lol. Seriously one of my biggest pet peeves is when people are late. I find it very disrespectful.
I hate being late. It's my biggest peeve. And i get really mad when someone makes me late!
That sounds like my husband.
I'm chronically late... So I have to set alarms for myself to make sure I'm on time somewhere, or awake by a certain time.
I set my alarm to wake me up at 5:00am and 5:30am every morning, but I actually don't get up until 6:00am.
I've had to be at an interview at a certain time, so I set an alarm for what time I had to leave, but before that was my alarm for when I needed to start getting ready.
It was a pain in the beginning to set so many alarms, but now I'm rarely late
I am always late. But always in the 15 min category. I swear I don't know how to be on time. Yet I have family that are fanatically on time (my mother). It goes in the "I think I can get one more thing done before I leave" category. On the other hand I hate being early. I hate waiting around. Such a waste of time. And I am not good at social chit chat. I would much rather be late than have to wait. When I arrive everything starts or you have missed all the social crap and intros etc. and can just jump into it.
I have a friend who hates that I am always late, yet she is NEVER ready when I get there?!?!?0 -

Early on in dating I realized my wife was one of these "if I'm 45 minutes late then I'm on time" people.
So, I started telling her things started 1/2 hr early (movies, parties, concerts, etc.), so we'd basically get there on time. She caught on, so then I'd start randomly telling her the correct start times, just to keep her on her toes.
Damn smartphones...it's too easy for her to look these things up herself now!0 -

South Bend news said they shut their doors already. Not sure how they didn't see that coming?
Tonight's confession: my dinner is a sandwich made on pancakes. I'm trying to figure out how to make it more often, except it takes a huge chunk of my calories for the day.
I NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS STAT0 -

I agree, I think MFP should allow you to choose what it announces for you. Protein would be a big one for me!

Then you can choose nutrients tracked and have what works for you. You can also have more than three meals, and call those meals anything you choose.
Confession: My meals are named after the mealtimes that Hobbits use in Lord of the Rings (Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, and Supper) and I usually have something at each of these times (though I have a tendency to log my afternoon tea under second breakfast out of laziness)
I have three meals and three snacks and I don't like when I don't have something to log under each. But I refuse to lie about it!
Quirks, am I right?0 -
I've never seen a peep in real life.0

It is 3 o'clock in the afternoon, last day before a 4 day weekend. I haven't done any work for HOURS and I don't plan to until 8am Tuesday morning 0

I hurt my back on Saturday, and haven't been able to work out or run, which I do religiously right after work, 5-6x a week.
Today's confession is that it's been so long since I just came home from work, turned on the TV & plopped down on the couch with a snack every day, it's been kinda nice...

I understand the awkward social aspect of being early/on time, but I can differentiate between not showing up to a casual party on time and coming late when you are meeting someone for dinner, or a movie, or something else time sensitive.
My in-laws are chronically, maddeningly late. Like, late to my wedding (my mil scheduled her hair appointment at the time I asked her to be at the church, somehow she thought she could do both at the same time), late to my surprise 25th birthday party, late to my son's first birthday, 2 hours late to meet my parents for dinner. They definitely suffer from the "I can fit in one (or twelve) more tasks before I get ready" syndrome. It boggles my mind how little social regard they show for other people.
I only have one child, and I know it gets harder the more you have, but it also drives me crazy when people blame their kids for their lateness. I do have grace for emergencies and catastrophes, but not when they happen every single time, mainly because they aren't anticipated. I know that inevitably as I try to walk out the door, little guy will have a dirty diaper and need an outfit change. So I get ready early enough to deal with it and still be on time. But if it happens 5 time in a row and I still act surprised by it...0 -
Confession:
I have an interview tomorrow for a job I really don't want to have to commute to. But I'm still going to the interview, a) because I set the appointment to go in, and b) because I need to work on my interviewing skills. I'm a terrible interviewee. Seriously, I freeze up. If it could be an "on the phone" or "texting" interview, I'd do amazing... But face-to-face interviews I fail at every time.
Is it wrong to go just based on the purpose of improving my interview skills?0 -
I had chocolate for dinner last night and washed it all down with a martini.

Nah. I've been the interviewer many, many times and I see no problem with that. That being said, I wouldn't announce it to them or anything.0 -

Well of course not. Lol
If the pay was right, I'd definitely consider the commute.0 -

Not in my opinion... and I've been in the position of interviewing job candidates many times.
I will say it would suck from the hiring committee's perspective if we decided you were the absolute best candidate and you then declined the job offer. But, in my experience, people decline jobs for many reasons... it is, after all, entirely your choice to accept or not.0 -

I also have to do this!! Awesome idea. 0 -

Sometimes, a little voice in the back of my head tells me not to bother losing weight because I have a very large wardrobe, thanks to a retail job in college. I shudder to think how much it'll cost to replace it all if I drop 5 or 6 sizes. (I try to remind myself that being fat costs more, but dammit, it's hard.)
Me too! Seriously, I have beautiful clothing that I truly love and I'm 27ish pounds down. My old clothes is starting to fall off of me. I know in my heart that I'm supposed to donate it or get rid of it but... I love it! It feels so dumb to admit that but it is true.
I'm still committed but I'll be sad to see some of my lovely clothing go.
Pick a few items that you love and pay to have them altered to a new size that will work for you.0 -
I saw a woman carrying a giant Peep bunny down the street yesterday and had two thoughts: 1) tincanonastring, and 2) tackling her to the ground to see if it was a plush Peep bunny animal or if it was actually made of marshmallow.
I didn't do the latter, sorry folks

Hey, now, walking is NOT a wimpy workout! I'm a speed / incline walker. I can't jog or run due to an ankle and neck issue. Just giving you a bad time!

My store was out (said some was supposed to be on the delivery truck scheduled to arrive the next day), I couldn't wait, so I drove to 3 other stores in town with no luck, then drove 45 minutes to the next store that carried it!
I've never heard of this stuff before now and certainly haven't seen it in any stores... but of course now I'm going to be on the hunt for it, probably my next trip to the US.
I see BZAH10 has put up a new shoulder/arm avatar to taunt inspire and motivate me. Lol. I'm glad she posts so often in this thread so I get to see my Dream Shoulder regularly.
Hahaha! Thanks for noticing! I only posted a new picture because I was really white and pale in my other picture. Been outside recently and have a bit of color, so I thought I'd update it.
I've been toying with the idea of posting my own shoulder pic just for laughs (which will be totally meaningless to anyone outside of this thread) but it would definitely out-pale your old one as we're on our fifth month of winter here... snowing outside as I type.
I get confused when people change their avatar lol. Someone had your llama pic in a Facebook group I'm in, and I was like "you can't use that picture! That's @ythannah! ".
In other news, we're supposed to get a bit of snow tomorrow too.
Lol! That's what I get for putting up a pic poached from the net.
And if I'm not mistaken, somebody recently changed her avatar from a masked purple-haired girl to a very pretty brunette...
Thanks... The picture is actually a year and a half old, but I haven't changed much lol
It is a great picture of you!
And snow? Where do you live? I live in South Carolina and it is 76 here today.
Northern -ish Alberta. It's supposed to be +16 today (about 60F), then we might get a couple centimetres of snow tomorrow. The weather changes quickly here lol
Where in AB... I am in Edmonton
Morinville. I usually just say northern Alberta or Edmonton area because most people won't know where my town is anyway 0 -

I've gone to interviews that I didn't want and that I had no hope of getting and those were the ones I did the best at. Probably because I had less pressure because I didn' think I would get it or want it. Good luck!0 -

Being late causes me anxiety. I hate being late for dinners, movies, etc and I get really mad too when it's someone else's fault. I get that things happen, and if someone is late once in a while it's not a big deal. But out of my three closest friends, I'm the only one who can seem to be on time. It drives me crazy. My one friend has two kids and I get it, things can happen that'll make you late - but not every time! They're 4 and 2, by now you should've had time to figure out how long it takes to get everyone ready. I find it very disrespectful that they all always keep me waiting.
Confession: My coworkers seem to be personally offended when I only take 1/2 a muffin. So today I took half a muffin (I used a knife to cut it, and only touch my half), partly because I want some muffin, and partly because I know it will annoy some people.0 -

I am really getting excited about this trip to Mordor now. I was thinking we have to set some parameters.... does running count or just walking? Does someone win if they get there first like the king of the mountain badge in Strava? Or stage jerseys like the Tour de France? Or whomever has the fastest average time? Do we track using an app like runtastic?
Too intense? My brother recently posted on Facebook I could take the fun out of a circus act in something I posted I thought was funny. (Yes I am not talking to him now). So maybe I should just follow whomever takes the lead on establishing the group. ;-)

Yes yes yes, all of it! I'm thinking travelling any kind of distance because I swim 3 days a week and would be at a disadvantage. lol 0 -

Well, you could always swim down the Brandywine, swim along the coast to the Bay of Belfalas, and then swim up the Anduin to Osgiliath & meet us on the road to Minas Morgul...
