Thanks! You could pick him up.. he's heavy mind! He doesn't mind being picked up at all I do it all the time. He's such a little softie I actually stand and cradle him like a baby sometimes. I didn't realise just how timid he was until I went to pick up my sister's cat and it nearly clawed me to bits haha0 -

We have a great dane named Merlin, after Top Gun, not the magician. He also goes by MerBot, botty bot, and bud. Our English bulldog is Molly, aka Little Miss, Molly monster, pigadillo (she snorts like a pig and has rolls like an armadillo), Hot TaMolly, and wiggles.Ilene is hilarious! And I love great danes! I knew someone who had one. His name was Zeus but he was the biggest baby ever! All she had to do to block him from entering a room or something (like when she had company) was lay a small, table top ironing board on the floor. He had no idea he could step right over it.
I had a Dane names Zeus, too. 200 pound pain in the butt. Ex got him in the divorce.
I also had a dog named Zeus. He was a gigantic black lab that ran away never to return again. I still sometimes wonder what happened to him. That was more than 13 years ago.

That's my favorite type of cat, the ones who love being picked up and cuddled
And fall asleep on your belly while you're sitting on the couch. My sister's cat is really adorable but he doesn't like being picked up at all

I, too am addicted to this thread. I tell myself everyday I won't go on here, but then I do. I spend countless work hours checking it and replying to it. I feel you people (what do you mean, YOU people?!) have helped me more than you'll ever know. I have found some friends on here that I feel like I know IRL and I cherish our friendship. Even if it is strictly online only.
I consider this free therapy and I feel free saying things here that I can't anywhere else. If I could hug each and everyone of you, I would. Even those of you that aren't into that sort of thing.
I keep finding myself entering my food, and then clicking right on "community" to come here.
I find myself opening MFP to enter food, clicking here first, then forgetting to enter the food and have to come back to do it.
I do the same. I'm also hardly ever commenting or liking anything on my home page any more, I come here and never go back there. My friends may delete me soon.0 -
They say "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but I hate. Coworkers that dress like me, wear their hair like me, or eat what I eat drives me crazy. Please be yourself. I don't want to be friends with myself. You're acting more like a stalker than a friend. I wish I could say this too them, but they're so insecure, they would probably cry or kill me.0

That's just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. Losing a pet, no matter how or when, is always so hard.
I have an indoor/outdoor (mostly outdoor) cat that I haven't seen in almost 2 weeks. We live in kind of a wooded area so I think an animal got him. I was thinking something happened last week when I didn't see him, but now that almost a whole week has passed and I still haven't seen him, I'm pretty sure he's gone for good. He was my boy and I'm sad I'll probably never get to hold him again.
So far my little guy is hanging on, but still not really eating anything but hand fed corn flakes.....
Sorry about your kitty!! That is so hard!
Glad your little guy is hanging in there. Maybe he just needs to serious TLC that only hand fed corn flakes can provide.
I was really struggling with Owen being gone yesterday. Every time I'd think about him, I'd bread down in tears. I hope he makes his way back home. That's him in my profile picture.
Aww... I am so sorry about your cat. That is why all my cats are 100% indoor, I am so paranoid. I am currently courting a feral all black cat on my porch that I have been feeding for about a year now...trying to get him inside eventually. Not that I need 4.
And speaking of 4... I have a fifth cat that I started feeding on my porch every day too... black and white. Totally friendly. I finally took him to the vet on Monday and he is microchipped! So we are tracking his owners, which I am sure they dumped him, so far we traced him to a shelter in TN, then he was adopted and taken to DE, then surrendered to a shelter near my home, so now we are trying to find out if the shelter readopted him out or if he somehow got free.
I had to let him loose again (wasn't spending hundreds on a cat that I had to hand over to someone else) and I can't have him in my home until he is tested for feline AIDS And leukemia. So still feeding him on the porch. I am worried something will happen before the vet agrees I can keep him and will treat him. So I may soon have 4 in house, and one on the porch. Then eventually maybe I'll get Porch Kitty into my condo. Then it will be 5. I basically have a Kitty Condo. I swore I would never have more than 3. I am becoming a crazy cat lady.
This sounds like my family! We have five cats...four were previously strays that we fed off of our porch. They warm up to us over time, we take them in and quarantine them in our basement away from our other cats until they get to the vet to be tested and checked for microchips. It always seems to work out...all the cats end up getting along great, and adjust to indoor-only life just fine!
yep, I had set up the spare bedroom for him on Monday, but didn't bring him in when I didn't get him tested after we found the microchip. The vet thought it was too risky. I may now though, he keeps begging me to come in (standing at my sliding glass door and crying, running out to meet me when I get home, etc.)
I would not be able to resist this....I would have ten thousand cats if they each did this, lol.
Yep hence the about to be 4.
So update on black and white kitty. Vet confirmed the trail is dead so I can bring him in and claim him. I have a 4 pm appt today. His last known owner surrendered him because they moved to Israel so I am hoping the spraying is not an issue. So unless he has a contagious disease he is about to be cat #4. I am going to decide on a name today. I am feeling guilty about my other 3 cats. I think they already think they don't get enough attention. Oh well. I'll just have to make sure I give each of them some time each day. The 3 I have figured it out and we settled into a routine. Hopefully this will work out.
That makes me happy. Is he a tuxedo kitty? That's what my Owen is and he was so handsome. Is handsome. Do you have name-names for your kitties or cat names for them? What I mean is, I don't give my pets animal names, I give them people names. Our dogs are Lucy and Otis, the guinea pigs were Ozzy and Jackson (my daughter was a HUGE Hannah Montana fan at the time), there's Owen, and I had a rabbit named Jessica. I think people names are more endearing for pets than animal names, IMHO.
I always find it so interesting what people name their pets! I've had pets with people names (i.e. my first dog was Sam), but my current pets have 'animal' names - my husky in the photo is Jazz, and my cats are Tadpole and Purranha (long story- started with a cat named Catfish because my dad waded into our creek to 'fish' her out!).
My mom almost always names her pets animal names, with two exceptions: she had a husky named Nikki when she was in high school/college, and a cat named Delilah for a while (yes, we then had Sam(pson) and Delilah in the same house!)
So, my mastiff is Antigone Grace. People name or pet name? I love the name Antigone (Ann-tig-oh-nee for anyone wondering how to pronounce. Antigone is a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles.) I wanted to name a little girl Antigone if we had one, but had a boy. Grace because as a puppy, she wasn't.
Hahaha! I LOVE that name! And, I love mastiffs! Any pictures you can share?
My Holland White turkey is Georgia. She is a good guard turkey.
Awwww! That's awesome! We had a pet turkey when I was a kid. His name was Tom and he was a guard turkey, too! He fully believed that he was a dog and always hung out with our dogs. He died when he got hot chasing a car (my Dad's cat actually ) but he had a long life for a turkey.0 -

Everyone else seems to relate to each other so much, and I feel like an outcast; in my mind, at least, I'm certain that if I were to make a deeper confession that would leave me vulnerable, I'd be targeted for bullying or judged harshly by everyone here.
I have to admit that I'm not sure how much sense I'm making, or if I'm making sense at all.
Does anyone else ever feel this way, or is it just the anxiety talking? I don't know that either!
I feel exactly this way. I feel like this in real life too though. I always see other people bond and I never feel like I fit in anywhere. I'm just weird. They sent out the company picnic email today and last year I felt so out of place. I think I may skip it this year.
As for this thread, I feel like I can't keep up enough to bond with people. It seems I'm always way behind everyone else on the current topic...(I am still on page 658-I had to train someone this week so I didn't have much alone computer time).
I feel like that in real life quite often myself. But if it helps, I find you an important part of this thread! I see you as one of the "in" posters, the ones who post regularly and have stuck around for a while. You aren't an outcast! 0 -

I am super annoyed by a coworker who works at a desk near mine. She keeps walking by my desk, although she doesn't have to. There is another way out that seems easier to me. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seems like she just walks by to see what I'm doing (or not doing, since I'm on MFP
). Sometimes she'll come by and just lean on the filing cabinet behind me, like she's waiting for me to initiate a conversation, although I have no desire to. I kind of have to ignore her until she returns to her own desk. The other reason I hate that she comes by - and I feel bad saying this - is that she's very overweight and the floor shakes when she goes by (we're in this weird second floor addition, my corner kind of "hangs" over a warehouse). If I'm writing, I have to stop until she passes by, and earlier today something fell off a shelf above my desk. I know it's not her fault that the building design isn't great, but having her pass by multiple times an hour is really annoying.

She might just like you and want to be friends. That's why she's hanging round hoping you might start a conversation, because she is shy to.
Nah, we've worked together for about 10 years. Our office is small (this area only has 5 people in it) so we do chat regularly. I think it's just when she is bored that she hangs around and wants to talk - which I get, but I wish she'd be able to see that I'm working on something and don't want to/can't talk at those particular moments.
That something being MFP? LOL
Ding ding ding. We have a winner! :P
Yay! What do I win? A trip to Belize, please let it be a trip to Belize!0 -
I have attempted MFP several times some have lasted as long as a month other times as little as a day. I hope this time I stick to it until I reach my weight loss goal.0

Well, you didn't win the grand prize, which I'm sad to say WAS a trip to Belize. You DID, however, win first prize which is a three day weekend in a sunny(?) Northwestern state which is famous for potatoes.

My best friend has a dog named Steve (he's a boy, obviously) and one named Doug, who is also male. She also had a bird named Barry, as in Gibb, who she found out was actually a female shortly before she laid and egg and died. It was a very sad situation.

It any of the sweet potatoes weigh more than 200 grams I won't buy it. So some weeks, I don't get them, because none are in the magic gram weight. I also buy loose onions and bell peppers on a similar weight method. Again some weeks, there aren't any in that weight.
I only buy my International Delight coffee creamer in the single serving mini containers like you get at restaurants. That way I know exactly how much creamer is in my coffee every morning.
I have counted the pieces of popcorn I have eaten.
All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.
Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.
Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.
Boxes of Cereal if they are mine, get pre portioned out to 42 gram Ziploc baggies. I'm the only one who will drink 2% milk. So the half gallon gets weighed out into 8 ounce containers and returned to the fridge in their little reusable thermos containers.
When I make biscuits, I weigh the flour out and do not use a measuring cup. Any flour used for kneading that is left gets scraped up and weighed to subtract from the recipe.
I have made hamburgers for a party and weighed each patty, and thrown away what would not divide evenly into the calculated weight of the others.
I can actually nail the number of servings a peanut butter container has in it by the label to perfect accuracy. I weigh it out too.
I actually own 4 food scales, 1 that travels, 1 at the office and 2 in the kitchen. Their batteries are changed the 1st day of every month whether they need it or not. They are also all the same brand and identical. I'm a lab tech and have used the calibrated weights to check their accuracy, they are in acceptable range. I do this often.
Shall I continue. I have developed a lot of quirks over my 900+ logging days here.
WOW! Please go on & when you're finished can you come over and help me organize my life. 0 -

Oh yeah, you know how UN-PC is it use words like "skinny" and "fat"! On a related note, is my guacamole promoting obesity? I opened the lid and inside it says, "I'm chunky and proud of it!".
I only hear one thing from guac.... EAT ALL OF ME IN ONE SITTING. I love guac soooo much. I can (but don't) eat it by the spoonful.
That is one of the few things I have to watch my portions on! Stir in some salsa and top it with sour cream and shredded cheese - yum!0 -

Since he hasn't gotten sick from it perhaps it's actually helping him build an immune system! One time when my youngest son was about 2 yrs. old I walked into the living room and saw him dunking his toothbrush into the fish tank and brushing his teeth. He survived, thankfully.

Thanks! You could pick him up.. he's heavy mind! He doesn't mind being picked up at all I do it all the time. He's such a little softie I actually stand and cradle him like a baby sometimes. I didn't realise just how timid he was until I went to pick up my sister's cat and it nearly clawed me to bits haha
Lionel is a super adorable fluff ball!0 -

I am super annoyed by a coworker who works at a desk near mine. She keeps walking by my desk, although she doesn't have to. There is another way out that seems easier to me. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seems like she just walks by to see what I'm doing (or not doing, since I'm on MFP ). Sometimes she'll come by and just lean on the filing cabinet behind me, like she's waiting for me to initiate a conversation, although I have no desire to. I kind of have to ignore her until she returns to her own desk. The other reason I hate that she comes by - and I feel bad saying this - is that she's very overweight and the floor shakes when she goes by (we're in this weird second floor addition, my corner kind of "hangs" over a warehouse). If I'm writing, I have to stop until she passes by, and earlier today something fell off a shelf above my desk. I know it's not her fault that the building design isn't great, but having her pass by multiple times an hour is really annoying.

She might just like you and want to be friends. That's why she's hanging round hoping you might start a conversation, because she is shy to.
Nah, we've worked together for about 10 years. Our office is small (this area only has 5 people in it) so we do chat regularly. I think it's just when she is bored that she hangs around and wants to talk - which I get, but I wish she'd be able to see that I'm working on something and don't want to/can't talk at those particular moments.
That something being MFP? LOL
Ding ding ding. We have a winner! :P
Yay! What do I win? A trip to Belize, please let it be a trip to Belize!
Well, you didn't win the grand prize, which I'm sad to say WAS a trip to Belize. You DID, however, win first prize which is a three day weekend in a sunny(?) Northwestern state which is famous for potatoes.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'll take it! Especially if you can make it sunny, because it's been raining for a week and a half.0 -

I am off work tomorrow and have a ton going on, then we are off to a family reunion long weekend at my families ranch and I will not have phone or internet service on the ranch so unless I drive to town while there I may lose my login stretch, this pains me! I might just have to go for a drive everyday. I am not sure how I will ever catch up with this thread with that much time away though. I have to read each and every post so I won't miss anything! I am addicted to this thread! I may need to seek professional help for this
I, too am addicted to this thread. I tell myself everyday I won't go on here, but then I do. I spend countless work hours checking it and replying to it. I feel you people (what do you mean, YOU people?!) have helped me more than you'll ever know. I have found some friends on here that I feel like I know IRL and I cherish our friendship. Even if it is strictly online only.
I consider this free therapy and I feel free saying things here that I can't anywhere else. If I could hug each and everyone of you, I would. Even those of you that aren't into that sort of thing.
I keep finding myself entering my food, and then clicking right on "community" to come here.
I find myself opening MFP to enter food, clicking here first, then forgetting to enter the food and have to come back to do it.
That would be me.
Or I enter food and click over here so fast, I don't double-check my entry... which is how I ended up with 15 servings of something that was supposed to be 1.5 servings and, just this morning, a cheese entry that came up with 0 grams protein.
Just want to say to all the Americans here... have a fantastic long weekend!
You too! I keep forgetting I don't have to work Monday. Hopefully, I remember Monday, that I don't have to work Monday.
Me too, because logically I thought Memorial Day weekend would be next weekend. It's Friday afternoon and I didn't realize I had a 3 day weekend ahead of me until someone mentioned it on this thread! Yikes. Good news is the outdoor pool will be opening at one of my gyms! You'll find me next to the pool with a stack of magazines this weekend.0 -
Memorial Day is such a nonevent in my family. I keep forgetting it's even a free day home.0

I'm a homebody as well. I've gotten better though, because I realize that if I make myself get out of the house and do things I always feel better afterwards. A few years ago a "successful" weekend to me would be pulling into my garage on Friday afternoon and not backing out again until Monday morning! Oddly, I can't do that anymore, but I think for my emotional and mental state it's much better now.0 -
Looks like I'm not having any mayonnaise cuz the struggle is real! lol
Although in haste I did mistake his name. It's actually SCRAWNY ARMS ROB LOWE. (I know, same difference) hahaha
Oh yeah, you know how UN-PC is it use words like "skinny" and "fat"! On a related note, is my guacamole promoting obesity? I opened the lid and inside it says, "I'm chunky and proud of it!".
I only hear one thing from guac.... EAT ALL OF ME IN ONE SITTING. I love guac soooo much. I can (but don't) eat it by the spoonful.
That is one of the few things I have to watch my portions on! Stir in some salsa and top it with sour cream and shredded cheese - yum!
Me too. To the point of buying only the 100 cal single serving cups of Wholly Guacamole. Otherwise I'll eat the container.
I did slice up a whole avocado last weekend and ate it for lunch. lol
I do the 100 cal wholly guacamole, too. It's nice that you can freeze them.
I've come to love avocado on sandwiches and hamburgers. But no one else in my family will touch them.
