I ruin songs for my teenage daughter. I sign along in a nasal voice when I feel the song is whiny. I ask too many questions about the meaning of the song or point out how sexist (or whatever it may be) the lyrics are of a particular song. I know he is talented but I change the station when I hear one popular Grammy winning singer whining about someone not being faithful. I don't mean to ruin songs for my daughter, it just happens when I point out something she stops liking the song.
For example the GDFR song that sounds like it has an oboe in it. Then it does not quite sound like and oboe but a sax. Then I go back and forth pondering what musical instrument is making that sound. It drives her nuts. But, we have a lot of similar musical tastes so when she broke her ipod and I gave her mine she didn't complain.
Then I think about songs I like and I could be called hypocritical. My kids knew the lyrics and sang along to Violent Femmes Blister in the Sun (for example, there are others) in early elementary school.
Confession #2
In general I don't like violent movies but I find Grosse Point Blank hilarious.
I over-analyse song lyrics to the point of hating them. There was an admittedly crap song by a boyband over here a couple of summers ago called 'she walks like Rihanna' and it basically explained that this girl was rubbish at everything, but at least she could strut and was hot. Everyone at work would listen to it and it would wind me up so much. I kept hearing the message, 'young girls, don't worry about putting any effort into anything or developing any talents, you're hot so you'll be fine.'
Or the one that talks about how their rent is late but they're going out drinking and partying anyway? Way to be responsible, kids. You don't have a place to live, but at least you had fun for a few hours.
The one that annoys me most is older, but there are still women swooning over it - Lips of an Angel. Song about a guy sneaking around behind his gf's back, while she's home, to sweet talk his ex on the phone. It's not fuzzy and romantic.
Me too - I hate that song and it is guaranteed to be stuck in my head for days after I hear it.
The one song I absolutely hate is America's A Horse With No Name. The guy's voice sounds as fun as watching paint dry.0 -

The dress in my picture was taken in the Macy's dressing room. I didn't buy it that day, but then went home and decided I loved how it looked on me and ordered the exact same dress in the exact same size. When I put it on this morning, it was about 6-8" shorter than the one I tried on in the store. I'm too old to wear a dress that short to work! Aargh!!
Pic in the store on the left, same exact dress ordered online on the right. Aargh!!
(My first MFP picture attempt)
Edited to say: Please disregard my husband's running clothes that he left laying on the floor. LOL
Super cute, and I don't think it's too short. I'm 40 and don't do short, but I think that is tasteful.
Agreed. It's a pretty dress and it looks good on you.0 -

I learned as a kid if I hit my sister before school she would forget to tell on me by the time Mom and Dad got home. If I hit her after school, she would remember and I would get in trouble. So, sometimes, I would save up from the day before...
I love you.0 -

Bruce Lee - Teach me how to be like water?
Sir Terry Pratchet - Tell me more about Ank Morpork?
Douglas Adams - Will you hold my towel?
Edit: I just responded to a work email to someone getting snippy with me with "Cool Story Bro, except you need to do this like I said in my original request" hahahahaha
Awesome!
Afterlife questions - I want to know the true story about dinosaurs. I really want to ask my grandpa about being Jack Dempsey's sparring partner (just learned that a couple weeks ago. G'pa never said a word.) I want to know who Jack the Ripper really was. There's more, I've thought on this topic a lot. Of course, now I can't remember any.
They covered this on an episode of Grimm recently.
I love that show, but wasn't the greatest fan of the Jack the Ripper bit TBO. Also Juliette = WTF?0 -

I am not very happy with that show since the whole Juliette thing started, and it's a shame because I LOVED it prior to that.
Are you referring the Hexenbiest thing? Me either! That chick is the mayor, governor and president of city council of Crazy Town. I was never really a HUGE fan of hers (I'm more of a Rosalie person) (SPOILER ALERT) but when she torched Aunt Marie's trailer AND got Nick's mom killed, I was done! There's no redemption for her.
So much this. Just why????0 -

Indeed. She almost got Monroe killed. I simply cannot forgive that.
Agreed! I felt bad for her at first, but then, when she went into full on psycho mode, I was done. No more. Nick should marry Adalind and raise their Grimm/Hexenbiest baby out of Portland.
I don't really WANT Nick to marry Adalind, I just don't want him back with Juliette.
I only think I've missed one season of Grimm, but wow. It sounds like a lot has happened. Sheesh.
I was never a huge fan of Juliette, so I'm not surprised she turned out to be as bad as I thought all along.
She's worse!
Confession: I didn't like Rosalie at first because I was protective of Monroe. Then she saved him from death by black mushroom and I changed my tune. I take fiction too seriously sometimes.
I thought she was annoying too. She seems to have mellowed out a bit. I dislike the way I now like Adalind, though. Juliette was my favorite female but what can you do.0 -
Looks like a lot of us don't want to adult today. I have been wishing I was not at work most of the day. It will be a long weekend for me. We lost my mother in law on Tuesday and not sure how to explain to my 5 yo daughter that her grandmother is gone.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs for you and your little girl.0 -

My Mum has recently decided that it's time to move on as she's living alone in a big family home, I spent all morning looking around houses with her and really struggled to get her away from family houses and old couple houses (she's only 56). She's seen a lovely new townhouse as is really excited by it, it seems great for her, and we spoke to a neighbour and he was telling us what a great community it is and that they do things together. She's accepted that less space is actually a good thing and come to terms with needing to get rid of stuff. Then my brother told her she should consider other things, because it's not detached (which actually appeals to her, feeling like there are other people around) and no driveway (there are 2 parking spaces, right outside, and she only had 1 car) I was really worried that she would be having second thoughts and backtracking. I confess I was really happy when I spoke to her and she said that my brother was only thinking about things that would matter to him and that she'd done all that before and it's not what she's looking for.
ETA: the end of my post which had mysteriously disappeared.
Hopefully she does what's right for her.0 -
I am a nurse, and so many of the patients we see and care for are SO overweight that you probably TRULY look great by comparison. It is not uncommon for me to see a patient of the same height weighing 350+...thankyou4thevenom wrote: »My mother decided to tell me last night that I looked like I didn't need to lose any more weight, that I looked perfectly healthy. I'm 5ft 1 and weigh 180lbs. No. She's a nurse and apparently me looking obese is perfectly okay. ARGH!!

Confession: I had one chocolate martini tonight. Half way through I was lightheaded. At the bottom of the glass I was pleasantly buzzed.

I am worried about my degu......he is old and alone. He is almost six years old and I have noticed a massive decrease in the amount he has been eating over the last two weeks (a bowl of food that normally would have lasted him four days still has a bit of food in it 12 days later)......and tonight I was snuggling with him and he was really skinny.....I am really sad thinking about the worse right now......his brother died about 11 months in and I had to force feed him for almost a month to get his out of his depression......since then he has been babied by me....I push him into the living room every morning and leave the TV on for him, and at night he comes into my bedroom and sometimes in the morning he lays in bed with me for a few hours cuddling.....I know he is old, but I don't wanna lose him

Ohh, sorry about that. We lost one of my son's little gerbils last year and she went just like that. I think it was cancer. Sounds like your guy may just be really sad. Would getting him a friend help, or does it not work like that with degus?Italian_Buju wrote: »I am worried about my degu......he is old and alone.

Can a confession be a positive one? After 16 years of marriage I divorced. He was emotionally and verbally abusive and I didn't want our kids to think that was a normal or healthy relationship. He refused to even try to change. I asked for eight years for change. Just about a year after the divorce finalized I started dating my SO -a year ago this past February. I have not rushed. We are very similar and very compatible. In this time we have not fought. That is not to say we have not disagreed or gotten on each other's nerves. Just that we've dealt with these issues as adults and while showing each other respect. The "I love you " did not happen from me for 8 -10 months.
So I just realized today that we have something tender and sweet and wonderful and that I trust him to treat me in a loving and respectful manner no matter what is going on with him or his day. I realized that my SO is someone who I can see being a true life partner. We'll see if it goes there. I'll be ok no matter what. I'm the most healthy on all levels that I've been in many years. I'm in love with mySO and with my life.0 -
Another confession is I can't sleep if I'm hungry. I will stay awake all night. I have stayed awake all night. A waste of perfectly good sleeping time. So I almost always eat a little bit right before bed.0

@HealthyChicksRulz , are you actually asleep and eating at the same time? My sister lost a whole bunch of weight... like 120 pounds at least and gained most of it, if not all of it, back. She says that she is "sleep eating, like waking up and she's eaten a bunch of food overnight. I wasn't sure what to make of it.
This scares the hell out of me if it's a real thing. Anyway, she locks food in the trunk of her car to keep herself from eating it overnight
I had a friend do this while she was in med school. It was all the stress.0 -

I busted my butt for a year to lose the weight. Then started rewarding myself for a job well done! Now I constantly struggle with 4 - 6 lbs. Not that I can't do it, just not telling my self no. Aaaarrrrrrggghhhh!

I actually was not judging you, just the general exchange.
I hate the rationalization of derogatory words by members of minority populations claiming to own them. Particularly with the N/F words, as though individual celebrities can speak for the feelings of millions of other people.

I confess, I want to STRANGLE and/or SET ON FIRE one particular coworker who was supposed to relieve me but called in sick. Now I have to work a mandatory 8 hours of overtime. So now I am pulling a GLORIOUS 16 hour shift, after which, I get to go home and sleep for exactly(I hope) 6.5 hours before coming back to work my regular shift again.
His illness you ask? Why it is a mere chronic condition known as DIABETES that he has been told by MULTIPLE doctors and nurses(including the ones we have on staff) how to manage and he just REFUSES to do so.
Honestly, I don't think he even ACTUALLY had a blood sugar spike. I think he just woke up late and thought "Since I'm late I might as well just call in and not show up altogether."
Something about the words to our supervisor made me think this. The phrase was: "Oh well my blood sugar is a little high and I just don't feel like coming in today." I almost wish he hadn't had it on speakerphone...
I can not STAND people who choose to not manage their illnesses or those who chose to use a chronic illness as an excuse.
My dog had dreams of going for a walk today. Will that happen? Nope. I had plans of a glorious workout before coming in to work tomorrow. Will THAT happen? Nope.
I knew stuff like this would happen when I took this job. Mandatory overtime. Fine. But the fact that it has happened 4 times in the 3 months I have been here? Not cool. That is just counting the times it has happened to ME and we haven't had doubles going(two people working the same shift, at the same campus, on the same day). This has also happened to the 2 other night shift PSOs.
Our own sergeant is wondering why he still has a job because he doesn't even meet expectations on his evaluations, but the system wont fire him.
I would rather work all 12 hour shifts and only get ONE day off a week if it meant his termination. I don't mind working the extra hours as long as I am well informed beforehand and can plan accordingly.
