Let me start by saying I am not offended by music by a black artist using the N word.....I do find it odd that you, being a white male, would say the N word is not offensive because you do not give it power.....it was not your group of people that was oppressed with it....
So much for not being judgmental. Whoops - guess I just was too.

If eating less is good, then eating a lot less is better, right? I hear we under estimate calories in and over estimate calories out, so I set my goal low and don't trust the calories burned. I am afraid to eat them back. I don't feel tired or weak, in fact I feel better than I have in a long time. Most of the time, I try to eat better because I am eating less. This week was a bit of a bust because my 7 year old gave me a pound of strawberries for Mother's Day and they had to be turned into Strawberry Shortcake. The little darling knows I am trying to watch what I eat and decided a big box of chocolates would make me sad, so he made a HUGE basket of all my favorite fruits. (I'll never be able to eat it all, unless I start a Bing Cherry Binge.)
I tell myself that I will eat more when I feel worse.
Confession 2 - Sometimes I open the freezer door just to stare at the Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
Sometimes when I don't have any calories left I'll smell food haha.
Still not as bad as the guy I knew that would sprinkle salt packets into his mouth. >_<
Yeah that's a bit gross.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »berlynnwall wrote: »Confession: I cannot stand slower than time pedestrians crossing the street. I'm saying this as a person who walks every day and rides in a car maybe once a week. If there is tons of traffic and a car had to stop to let you pass, hurry the heck up. Everyone wants to get where they are going, not just you.
LOLOL. Perfect.
I also can't stand the people who walk slow in a grocery store with the exception of the elderly or people who have a medical condition. Also it grinds my gears when people take up the whole aisle with their shopping cart or decide to have a family/friend reunion in the most annoying places.
HUGE pet peeve of mine, probably because my husband is a major culprit of this. He views grocery shopping as an enjoyable, social event. Um, no. He's gotten angry at me before for not stopping and having in-depth conversations with people we know. Hugs and acknowledgements and "how's your life?" questions all around. I believe it is rude and insensitive to the other shoppers. Needless to say, we no longer shop together.
Oh, he's also one of those people that stops the cart directly in the doorway as you are walking in to use the wipes to clean the handle. Yes, I'm glad he cleans the handle, but PLEASE walk inside and don't hold up everyone behind you!
I had to laugh at this! My husband is the same way! He'll have a 20 minute conversation with someone he just met. I'm the opposite. I will smile if I make eye contact with someone, but stay on your side of the aisle and get off your phone! Grocery shopping is serious business! Pay attention people!
Thank you for getting it! Let's not forget that we have COLD items in our cart that need to get through check out, the ride home, and safely in the fridge before spoiling! Argh. Hot topic for me. I'll move on now.0 -

I'll admit I outkicked my coverage with my wife. Pretty much the ideal woman I dreamed about as a teenager. She's always been slim, and while I was fit when we met & throughout my 20s, I spent my 30s getting fat & drinking lots of beer.
At my heaviest, when I would meet her co-workers for the first time, I got a lot of raised eyebrows and "Wow, she's with HIM?" looks. But she never gave me any grief; it wasn't until I started hating pictures of myself that I started to get serious about my health.
Since I've got back into shape again, its funny. She's dropped a couple of "well, I guess I'M the fat one now"s. She'll get p*ssed when I work out & she doesn't feel like it, but she'll begrudgingly join me. She'll roll her eyes & get irritated when we go out to a nice restaurant & I order my go-to chicken caesar dry, with balsamic on the side.
I never gave it much thought before, but maybe there IS something to this "trophy husband" concept after all??
For some. I wouldn't put it into any kind of "universal truth" category, but it's an interesting dynamic to watch. I spent years with the reverse insecurity. I was big when I met my husband and got bigger after. When I started losing, it was in the back of my mind that he wouldn't like skinny me, or would sabotage me. As it turned out, we were separated because of work for a few months, so he got the full on impact of me losing about 100lbs without watching it day to day, and he was definitely not unhappy about it.0 -

I hope I did this double quote thing right.....if this does not make sense, it is because I have no idea what I am doing....
To the first reply, I was actually stating the opposite, I think ALL people should be offended by any racial slurs at all because they are ignorant and hateful, and down right nasty. I was pointing out that by OJ, being a white male, saying he is not offended by a racial slur that is towards a group of people different from his own is odd, because he does not really have the background to say that. If we let the majorities make all the decisions for the minorities, we would never get anywhere.....
To the second reply, I never said anything about slaves. I always find it confusing when talking about racism that people bring up slavery....there is LOTS of racism going on today, and during our live times that we need not even bring that up to make a point.
I will confess at this time that I am VERY VERY sensitive about racism of any kind. It literally torn my family apart. I have three siblings, that I have had no contact for in over 20 years because of racism. And I do not mean no contact like how some people have limited contact with family that they do not get along with. I mean NO contact as in they have no idea I have kids, or my sister lives in the U.S. or that our mother is dead.......

I had to play log your midnight foraging as breakfast this morning. I didn't actually have babybels, beef sticks, pork rinds, whipped cream and cocoa for breakfast. Looking at it all written as a group like that actually makes me a little sick to my stomach. If that was really breakfast, I suspect I'd be mainlining pepto the rest of the day.0

So you fell in love with someone from another ethnicity and your family didn't respond well? Just a guess, and no judgement about it.
And you referred to a period of time when a group of people with a different skin tone than myself were being oppressed by the use of the N word. That started with slavery. So, while you didn't say the word slavery. You inferred that time period. No judgement, just sayin.

YES! I would think that people who were religious would be railing against this instead of embracing it. Aren't most religions supposed to be based on love?0 -

I ate a really, really big poutine last night along with about ten cups of water because it was so salty, and I definitely felt sick afterwards. I still feel full and I haven't eaten yet today... and I don't expect to be hungry anytime soon. But bubble tea still sounds pretty good!
Also, I'm not sure what has gotten into me... I usually hate clothes shopping, but lately I've been frequenting online stores with major excitement. I just added AdoreMe to a slowly growing list of websites I've been eyeing (along with ModCloth and Boutique1861). I'm changing!!!
I'm wearing a shirt from ModCloth right now!

That was part of it....but not only that....my family was fine, it was only my one sister that lost her mind, and rallied two of my other siblings....she actually sat at my mother's kitchen table on Christmas Day and asked my friends husband if he had an actual job or was just a drug dealer (he was an accountant). Then my niece, who was about 10 at the time told me that said sister actually stopped a kid at the door of her birthday party and refused him entry because he was black. On Boxing Day of that year, 1994, I kicked her out of my house, and have not seen any of them since. I literally do not even know if any of them are dead or alive, and same with us, like I said, as far as I know, they do not even know our mother died ten years ago.....it worked out the way it should have though, but I bring it up when discussing this topic to point out the simple fact that I do not tolerate racial crap like that from anyone, I do not care who you are. I always say something when I have witnessed racism, and raise my children to do the same. And that goes for any race, and would actually also included homophobia as well.
The N word is still used to oppress black people today, don't kid yourself.....although it is rapidly being replaced with the word thug.......I would also like to add that I do not think in any way that statement you started with makes you a racist, I have not seen you say anything up to now to make me think that. I just do not think that as a white male you can say if that word is offensive or not, because it is not really that you give it no power, it is because it is never directed at you.....0
