I've always wanted to be like 5'10. I'm so jealous of tall women, so gaining even an inch has me thrilled lol
Why? I am only 5'7" and it is insanely difficult finding a man of appropriate height (yes i am that shallow). Though I do not think I would want to be shorter... so never mind. Tallk people ftw
I'm 5'9", and my husband is the first guy I dated that was taller than me. For whatever reason, the only men who were ever interested in me were always shorter than me. ESPECIALLY when I was out dancing!
I'm 5'9" too, and my husband is 6'7". Many years ago I tried to date a guy who was shorter than me, but I just felt huge next to him and I couldn't imagine taking that feeling into the bedroom. Shut it down.
5'9" here too! Yeah, I couldn't do the shorter guy thing either. The thought of bending over to kiss him freaks me out! And yes, I realize that's irrational!
I never personally had a problem with it, I just always found the GUY had a problem with it (consciously or subconsciously). I was told numerous times by various guys that I wasn't "allowed" to wear heels. Uhhhhh excuse me?! I will wear heels if I choose to, mister!
I think we've gone here before...but my husband is totally cool with me wearing heels. Since I'm already 2+ inches taller than him, I feel gigantic. But if he doesn't care and I don't care, whatever!
That's fantastic! Only a jerk (like the guys I used to date) would care about it anyway
I managed to get involved with some real winners but they never cared that I was taller in my heels.
The SO is a full 12" taller and LOVES me in heels, the higher the better as far as he's concerned. When we're out in public it doesn't make him look quite as tall if he's got a 6'2 woman beside him, and he doesn't have to bend over so far to kiss me.I've also learned the hard way that the horrible drink they give you for CT scans with contrasts can give you diarrhea for three days (really hoping it's only three days, this is getting old).
I was on heavy antibiotics for a couple of weeks last summer and apparently digested nothing, judging by my output during that time. Lost 5 lbs. So there may be an upside, lol.
That is *the* thing about antibiotics that I dread, if/when I ever need to take them...
...as for the upside -- eating spoiled food would result in the same outcome, so... for anyone thinking they might be 'missing out' -- worry not, for there is an alternative means via which you can 'participate' in 'the festivities'... lol
I always wonder if I should even bother to log it.
Sure! -- And you can 'get creative' with naming it... something like... "broccoli cheese -flavored laxative'... 0 -
@noaddedsugarx My sister went through a similar situation with my grandpa before he was moved into a home full time. He didn't require hospitalization, but the situation did wear on him mentally as it made his disease more real to him.
I'm sorry that you and your grandmother have to go through this situation and hope she can recover soon.0 -
Thank you, you're so kind!! I think you look perfect the way you are.FluffySandwich wrote: »So I'm about to go on vacation, and I'm starting to get embarrassed about my very pale, pasty skin. My mom used to go tanning before vacations, but I'm certainly not going to do that (I know how bad it is for you). I bought some fake tanner on a whim and I'm a bit anxious about it. I have never used fake tanner before. I'm thinking that I'm worrying about my skin for nothing.
As a side note, my sister has the whitest of white skin and always got hit on and complimented for it in the Bahamas.
If you use the fake tanner just be careful to remember it's not real and if you don't wear sun screen you will burn! I love your pale skin! You are beautiful! I'm pale but not pale enough
I'm definitely planning on packing a LOT of sunscreen. When I was little I thought that I ''didn't need'' sunscreen just because I tanned fairly easily. I see now how stupid that thought was... and it got me into trouble when my ultra sun-sensitive little brother followed my lead and ended up sick in bed with blisters all over his skin
At least I could still enjoy Disney World

I can't do spiders. Period. I took kiddo and nephew to the zoo last week and there was a tarantula on exhibit. Naturally, both kids wanted to see it, I had a panic attack! It can be embarrassing, but not as much as my catfish phobia (and I mean the actual fish) lol.
You should see me at the lake. I am constantly moving my legs, and if something brushes against me I run to the shore so fast... I'm terrified of fish touching me. Any fish.
So I'm not the only one! I had to write an essay about classical conditioning and phobias in psychology once and I wrote about my catfish phobia. My professor actually told me later he had never heard of that before and thought it funny, but unique haha!
I have a really strange, but also extremely severe phobia that I'm almost sure nobody else shares, but I'll never ever admit to it in this thread. Very few people even know about it, maybe 4-5 including my sister and husband. :-/
I have trypophobia, arachnophobia and I'm afraid of heights - but just ones that would maim me, not ones that will kill me if I fall.
The trypophobia is the weirdest one. Why am I afraid of things with small holes in them?
Wow I'd never heard of the trypophobia before! What are some of the things you're afraid of that are small with holes, if you don't mind me asking?
It's almost anything really. I'm just disgusted and need to get away, so not afraid as such, but nauseas and totally uncomfortable. Those photos when they photoshop the lotus pod onto people are gross.
If you Google trypophobia the images will show you examples of things.
And I've always been like that. Even lots of soap bubbles in the sink can bother me.
Weird I know.

Ew ew ew no I hate that lotus thing I didn't know what it was until I googled it oh my gosh I about ralphed, yuck! I don't think you're weird I hate certain words and honestly can't stand when people say then- makes my skin crawl- exactly the feeling I had when I saw that picture of a lotus! I'm scarred now

I'm sorry about your grandma... hope she recovers.
But you can't blame yourself. And I hope no one else is blaming you. It could have happened any time... while you were peeing, showering, preparing a meal, checking the mail... you just can't watch over her every move, every minute 24/7. Even if you had been right at her side, she might have fallen in a direction away from your grasp where you couldn't have prevented it anyway. Falls happen quickly. I managed to fall downstairs at the ripe old age of 43 and it happened in an instant... one second I was taking a step down, and the next I was flat on my back.
My thoughts are with you.0 -

These bathroom posts are so hilarious to me, and so true
One thing I find really weird is when someone is using the bathroom and talking on their cellphone at the same time. I was in a stall at my University when a girl took the stall next to me. I proceeded to hear a series of loud farts as she communicated cheerfully with a friend on the phone. I was blown away by how much she just didn't care. 0 -

Top tips: exfoliate, shave (if you do) and moisturise before applying. If you get extra-brown knees or streaks, a lot of it will scrub off over the course of a couple of showers.

I find bees so cute. Bumble bees are fuzzy and nice and love flowers
One got on my dad's hamburger when we were eating outside once, and he didn't notice until he was already chewing it He commented on some ''weird fuzzy thing'' on his burger and then he realized he was eating a bee. It didn't even sting him or anything, but sadly he ended up in my dad's stomach. Wasps and yellow jackets, though... I hate them. 0 -

Awwe, that's so sweet. Yours sounds like a great gift too.Today is my anniversary and I confess that I am sad that this means I won't be able to go on my weekly bike ride with my girls bike group.
My husband is the best about anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Last year, he had the high school art teacher help him make me a soup bowl. It says "Soup for my Soulmate". I love it! I tell myself every year I'm going to start shopping early and find him the perfect gift. It never happens. I ended up buying him a ceramic statue at the garden center. He deserves so much better!
My husband has got better at gifts over the years, but I have had some real doozies (set of home phones for my 40th, for example
). I've got much better at saying "For my birthday, if you'd like to get me a present, I'd really love X". Or I tell my daughter. She's very good at relaying 'hints' and he's relieved because he can get something he knows I'll like.
My husband is amazing at picking gifts for me. I, on the other hand, am the worst gift giver on the planet. Seriously. I always default to perfume because I just can't think of anything else... Even if I know the person really well! :-/ I'm just really, really bad at it.
confession: i am awesome at gift giving. i'm the crazy type that remembers six months ago you said you really wanted something, but could never justify getting it for whatever reason. i'd bust my *kitten* to make sure the gift i gave, meant something to the person, fit who they are, or allowed them to indulge when they themselves never would/could. i rock the giving of gifts.
actual confession: it took a really long time, and a lot of secret hidden internal disappointment, to realize no one ever puts in that type of effort for me. ever. (nobody cares, boo hoo, i know. yay personal pity party) but it actually really hurts, when you really dig deep and think about it.
so i quit. i quit making little notes to remember things about people, i quit spending hours on the net to find the out of print japan only release of an album that someone just would "die" to have but could never find it. no more care packages to people far away. i stopped picking up things here and there all year round because i knew it was just PERFECT for someone. i just quit.
and it's difficult sometimes. i'll see something and be like OH! PERFECT! but then i stop myself and just keep moving. and it's really lame that something like this is making me tear up while i'm at work, so i shall stop whining now before it really opens the floodgates.
I'm sorry you've gone through all of that. Ever thought of putting those awesome skills to use, though? You could become a personal shopper or consultant. People can contact you about whom they are shopping for, what their tastes are, their collections, etc. I think you'd be great at it!
you are seriously awesome, thank you
Well, that truly is a talent! I mean, for some of us, here we are, married to someone for years, whom we spend oodles of time with and yet when it comes to gift giving my first thought is, "Ummm....". Blank. Over think it. Waste too much time. End up with something boring.
My husband and I have pretty much stopped giving each other gifts. We have everything we need. Although this past Valentine's Day he surprised me with a Bose sound system for my iPhone. I got him a card. Ugh. Thankfully I saw it before he came home so I sprinted off to the liquor store to buy him a bottle of Patron. Not equal to a Bose, but it sufficed.
We've been married 15yrs next week and I can. guarantee there will be no gifts exchanged. Christmas and such have devolved into making sure the kids pick gifts for the opposite partner, but other than that... eh. I'm not into jewelry, flowers, perfume or any stereotypical girly stuff. I literally wear only my engagement and wedding rings, which are very understated and "me". We're not even card people, heh.

I read this as Lyrica (medication) not Lycra. I still have work on the brain. I've worked through 3 out of 4 lunches this week. I need to get back in the gym . I have at least 7 or 8 letters I need to write tomorrow and am not liking it. Work sucks.
