I've been wanting to eat all day... ended up digging in a pint of Baskin Robbins and eating 3/4 of it. Ugh. Now I feel sick... (and I'm 400 calories over maintenance of course).0

Gah. The grammar nazi in me had "Maybe concentrate more on the 'College' part instead of the 'Fun' part?" all typed up in the reply box...but I stopped myself.
I'm sure negative responses would have followed had you posted the response, but there are SO many people that use the wrong word maybe if it WAS pointed out every time people would finally start to learn?
I wish MFP had some kind of screening system and if you post something using that word wrong then your post just disappears. That's mean, I know.
OMG... I'm laughing like a complete idiot right now...
Yea, tho thy armies be assembled
And lo, the time be nigh
'Tis but one mere shot of folly, and one boat's missing oar
That stands between thy victory, and loosing the pounds of war

No, not until now... I thank you for 'introducing' us...
(Oh, and I'm still laughing at how what I threw together sounds more like something out of a book of 19th Century Irish War Poetry (that is, if there were any such thing)... but, well, I wanted to kick out something asap, so, I won't kick me-self (nay )... ;P ) 0 -

Confession 1: I packed an awesome lunch today and wanted to devour it before 11 this morning. I don't take lunch until 1. I managed to make it until noon, but now I'm sad because my food is over. I often get sad when my food is over.
Confession 2: I totally had Dr. Pepper last night with my Auntie Anne's pretzel bites and didn't log it. Oops.
My youngest (8) has a bad habit of taking bites out of her lunch why she packs it. The school policy is no junk food (crisps/chips, chocolate, cookies/biscuits) so it's not like it's something sweet. Came down stairs yesterday and she had half her sandwich gone. This was after her breakfast.
Errrrr, what?! How is that even enforced and why? I'm all for encouraging healthy habits, but this seems a bit extreme.
My children's school is the same. I'm used to it now.
my kids school does this too. sort of. The meal must be "balanced" so you cant send a bag of chips and a can of pop and call it lunch. You can send a snack sized bag of chips along with a sandwich and an apple.
If the lunch you packed is not a "balanced" lunch, they will give your child a sack lunch from the kitchen, which is a cheese sandwich on wholegrain bread, a fruit, a carton of milk, and a oatmeal cookie.
Then you get a nasty note about the inadequate lunch you packed. So that is how they enforce it. I know this because I asked the school at length about it.
My son has a sensory disorder, so basically his lunches are the same thing, everyday, with no variation. I was worried I would get nasty notes about it, but they assured me that was not the case! Thank goodness.
Thank you all who have explained this lunch policy. It makes me wonder what would've happened if that was enforced in my elementary school because from 1st - 3rd grade I suffered extreme anxiety which led to stomach issues and the only thing I could keep down for lunch for three years was a single chocolate pudding. That was it. In 4th & 5th grade I managed 1 plain tuna sandwich. (and I'm still lagging behind on this thread; been super busy at work)
I had anxiety as a child, too, which also resulted in me throwing up very frequently. Looking back, it's odd my parents never seemed to worry about it. Did you eventually outgrew it? I still have anxiety, but grade school was the only time period I threw up from it habitually.
My 7yo has been doing this since she was about 3. Even at home. We are thankful when we can get through a whole week without her throwing up at the supper table. She has been to several specialists and they all agreed that it was definitely psychological and not physical. Do you remember how old you were when you grew out of it?
I never did it past the age of 12, even though I've struggled with a lot of anxiety and depression through the years. Surprisingly, even with some pretty bad body image issues and binge eating, I've never purged.
I refuse to throw up now, unless I am horribly ill. I had a very nauseous pregnancy, but only threw up twice, I think just through sheer willpower. I just hate that helpless feeling.0 -

I posted about foot shufflers a couple hundred pages back. There 2 people in my office that I want to stab in the throat with a pen every time I hear them dragging their feet like Walkers.
On the upside, if they happened to be choking on something at the same time (while dragging their feet)... and if performing a Heimlich maneuver subsequently failed... you could then engage in performing an emergency tracheotomy -- with a pen -- such that a choking, Heimlich-resistant foot-dragger could then be stabbed in the throat with a pen FOR ALTRUISTIC REASONS! (heck, to save their life! -- it doesn't GET more altruistic than that!)
This freaky pen-used-for-emergency-tracheotomy measure has been 'showcased' on several medical dramas (I remember when they did it on ER! (and when watching that episode, all those years ago, I thought, "OUCH!!!")).
In fact, here it is IRL --

Mo, review the 'training' videos (they're on you-know-who-tube!), and 'practice', so that you're ready whenever the 'opportunity' might happen to present itself... ;P
This whole thing made me laugh. I remember that ER episode... George Clooney found some kids stuck in a storm drain or something? I was quite young when I saw it, I remember being really terrified of that happening to me.

Hahaha. It's not legal in Kansas, but even if it does become so, I don't think I'll try it. I didn't in high school when other girls were smoking it in the locker room, so I don't think I would now. I'm pretty square and I'm perfectly fine with that.
I'm kind of square, too! I hung out with a lot of punks and skaters in high school, AND worked at a hookah bar, and still never managed to smoke pot.
I can't say I'd never try it if it was legalized in my state. The low side effect pain/anxiety/insomnia relief is very appealing.0 -

My daughter was looking over my shoulder the other day as my best friend (English teacher) and I were messaging on Facebook. She couldn't believe that we used correct spelling, proper grammar and no text-speak. I told her that's how it was in the olden days.0

Whoa, sorry for all the back to back posts. I'll throw in a confession:
I kind of wish I had been a little more wild when I was younger. I met my husband when I was 20 and we got married at 22. He was really square when we met, so even though I had done some stupid stuff up until then, I stopped once we were together. I feel like I missed out.0 -
I confess: I had absolutely nothing positive to say to a girl who thought "calorie counting is annoying" and a recent health even has made it a necessity to lose weight and it's "unfair" and how "I hope my life is worth it". All I could picutre was a pouty 4 year old stomping their feet shouting it's not FAIR!
So I thought I should just not saying anything there and post my annoyance here instead.0 -

I have never smoked weed. I've had friends around me that have or do, but it's never appealed to me. I'm not against having it legalized here, but I do hate the smell and wouldn't want to be around it.
I hate the smell too, and I hate not having full control over my body. That's the main reason I don't enjoy drinking to the point of getting drunk. I'm sort of a control freak.
I confess that I have never tried illegal drugs of any kind. If weed was legalized here, I would still not try it. I figure if I made it through my teen/young adult years without trying it, there is no point now. I also do not drink to the point of being drunk, but do enjoy the occasional glass of wine/beer.
I was raised in a strict no-alcohol environment (I am a PK), and I am proud that I have a healthy relationship with alcohol.
Good for you! I know several PK's and they refuse to touch alcohol of any kind. To each their own, I guess.
Thank you! I never thought my Dad's choice in a career should define who I was. That being said, my parents are actually pretty cool as well. One of the reasons there was such a strict no alcohol rule was because my Mom was raised by an alcoholic mother and did not want her kids to ever go through what she went through.0 -
Grammar/spelling is one of my 'things'. I generally let kids off because, as a pp says, they are growing up with text speak but there is no excuse for an adult to use it. What really annoys me is the homework worksheets sent home with my kids, written by their teachers. Invariably they are riddled with spelling mistakes and errors. One last week spelt diameter as 'diameetre' and 'there' as 'their'. I have complained about it many times - if the teachers can't write English properly, or check their own work for typos, what hope is there for the pupils?
ETA: I am allergic to cannabis, can't eat it or smoke it.0 -

Sigh, I have been out of this site for 2 days, I am afraid of how much I have to catch up on but... for this... I was always super square and introverted and way too serious. I wish to this day I could be more wild and fun. But I can't even last beyond a few drinks and its like...sorry gotta go to bed! Plus I don't get wild and crazy when I drink, I just want to talk. And I don't like crowds, parties or being up late... I get self conscious, withdraw into myself and tired. I am best with 1 or 2 friends at dinner or something, then I have a ton of fun. But I do envy people who are partiers. Just not in my nature I guess.1 -

I did in college once. At the time I was pretty straight-laced (virgin 'til 21 as mentioned earlier in this thread and all that) and pretty terrified of drugs because of the alcohol (and to a lesser degree other drug) issues that run rampant in my family (sadly this did not deter me from drinking after a while), but I didn't want to make a thing of not smoking (well, it was a bong) when everyone else was, so I faked it and passed it on.
Only a few years later was the election of '92 and "I did not inhale," and I was mocked up and down for actually believing that it was probably true (I think Clinton claimed family alcoholism was even part of it).
I was probably wrong, but I'm still not sure. ;-)
Other related pot story (as you can see from the terminology, I'm old!)--a few years later I went to professional school in Ann Arbor, and one of the women in my dorm was convinced that this other friend of mine was responsible for the telltale smell that she was sure she had smelled, because the friend had "recently come back from a vacation in Jamaica." We had to break it to her that it was probably a LOT easier to buy or otherwise acquire pot in Ann Arbor (home of Hash Bash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_Bash) than to smuggle it in from another country on an airplane.0 -

I'll confess the loose/lose thing was part of what nudged me to use the Adipose av. If you're going to loose the fat, it only makes sense that it will scurry away on little legs.
I love this. I will now smile every time I see your avatar (as if I didn't already!).

I have smoked it a bit when I was younger. I haven't in years. I don't like the burning in my throat and I don't like to feel disconnected from reality. I feel the same way about pain killers. This was the only illegal substance I tried, I was always too chicken to try anything else. I don't like to be out of control and I didn't want to try anything that would/could lead to addiction!0 -

My secret is that there is a little house for sale that I am putting an offer on tonight and I am really hoping they'll accept. I'm so so so so so excited about it but I'm not telling anyone IRL (besides my family) because I'm afraid I'll jinx it. It's perfect for me (and my dog )
I've lived with my brother for 8 years and while we still get along the thought of having a space that is 100% mine is... well, to be honest I can't even think of the right word for it.
Good luck!0 -
@mohousdon I was trying to go back to your original post but must have missed it in my rapid fire catch up reading. I Just wanted to say how sorry I am. My sister miscarried her second child, and we were all devastated. My mom lost multiple babies between her 1st and 2nd child (RH factor problem) but she ended up with 5 total and my sister eventually had a 2nd child. Joining the virtual hug crowd. Take care of yourself & your family!
