I think that if SHE believes she looks beautiful, then you did the right thing (unless her outfit is ripped or really looks messed up to the point where you think someone will bully her for it
). Still, tough situation. I just know I would be really sad if someone told me I looked fat and awful 
And one more, because I love this one SO much:
Wow, thank you for these!!! They're gorgeous!
I'm going on a plane next week and I am really hoping to snag a window seat (no option to have them reserved yet). That last one especially is just incredible
It's my most favorite of all of them! I have tons, since I clicked away as the sun came up, but the haze made it look all blurry until the sun was actually over the clouds. But this one I LOVE. When you said you loved the view, I thought you'd appreciate it as much as I did!

@Susieq_1994 I just read your story!!
It was very well written and enjoyable to read. Thank you for the look inside Islam and Jinns. I liked the way the story ended, it fit.
I also read your sister's book and found it interesting.

So I'm annoyed at myself because I got hungry today so I ended my 5 days streak at a deficit. I'm sad.0

I confess that I asked Giant to see if they could order the Talenti Raspberry Cheesecake. The lady wrote the name down wrong & I didn't have the heart to tell her mainly cause I didn't want to come across as a know-it-all.0

Can you send them an email? Going to do that to Shop Rite for the Tiramisu...0 -
I lost my purse and it's my own damned fault. I didn't secure it well on the back of my bike and I didn't notice when if fell off. When I retraced my route, I couldn't find it.
My whole life is in that purse, plus it was a pricey purse. And my phone - which is not attached to wifi so I can't erase it..
And my license and credit cards and medicare card and you name it plus my bank card and it's the weekend, so I'm cashless. And my id for work plus my bike and home key (which at least I have a duplicate)0 -

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'll admit that I took some literary license with the descriptions--Jinn don't have human forms, and we don't even know if they look vaguely humanoid because we can't actually see their original form. (As I'm sure you read in my sister's book)
I'm glad you enjoyed it.47Jacqueline wrote: »I lost my purse and it's my own fault. I didn't secure it well on the back of my bike and I didn't notice when if fell off. When I retraced my route, I couldn't find it.

Oh, gosh, that's just awful. I hope someone returns it to the police station or something! 0 -
I had 5, lol. I know, not the end of the world, my weight is fine, but still. I'm still not happy with my look and I'm going in vacations in 3 weeks and wanted to see a scale drop before (as I know I'll probably end up gaining when eating out all the time for 10 days).0 -
That's so tricky. If she feels great, isn't that what really matters though?I told a friend she looked beautiful in a new outfit. My real thoughts..... she looked fat & awful. The style did absolutely nothing for her shape. Would a real friend tell her the truth? I don't want to hurt her feelings; she believes she looks like a rock star.
You can say 'You look lovely!', and in your head you can mean 'You always look lovely to me because I love you, but those pants are God-awful and make you look enormous'.
No, I don't think telling the truth bluntly is ever the right thing to do in that situation. Unless she asked for advice 'Do these pants make my bum look big?', in which case it's ok to reply 'Hm, I really liked those bootcut ones you wore the other day - they really enhanced your figure.' From which she can gather that yes, her *kitten* looks big in these particular pants.

I hope it rains where you are, but not here. My daughter is out camping and trying to talk some sense into her friend's pregnant 18 year-old sister who's not taking care of herself. Somehow it's fallen to my daughter and her friend to do the 'Come to Jesus' talk, which I can't help feeling is pretty unfair.Glinda1971 wrote: »Is it wrong to hope for rain on this beautiful Saturday? I wanted a nice quiet evening in and now my husband's decided it's bonfire party night.
Going to feel like a stick in the mud when I go to bed at 11 or 12.

Posts like these make me homesick, although they do sell Tunnock's tea cakes in our Walmart (British section!!!) they are usually a bit stale.beansandchips wrote: »herrspoons wrote: »I ate an entire packet of Mr Kipling's fruit pies.
They were marvelous.
I ate a whole pack of Tunnocks chocolate marshmallow tea cakes once. 6 of the b*ggers ....felt sickly, sugary and so bloated after!
What flavour pies?

Ooh good thinking. I should shoot an e-mail to Gelato Fiasco too & see if they'd sell their stuff at Giant.47Jacqueline wrote: »I lost my purse and it's my own damned fault.

Eek! I'm with the others & hope someone with a conscience will turn it in or at the very least find a way to contact you.
It does amaze me at times at how nice people are when they turn in cellphones, purses, wallets, etc. that are left in shopping carts, the bathroom, or the register.

I
ok Whahooo I did it. It took both an iphone and an ipad to get it to work but it seems like it worked. I am still inept with this but I can learn. Yay!
So the black poodle is 10.5 years and named Sorcha.
The dog of unknown origin is 6 or 7 and is our squishy Bruno.
They are both super sweet people and dog friendly dogs.
Your hair is gorgeous! I'm currently growing mine out too but it's no where near as long as yours!!
And your dogs are TOO cute!
thank you for posting!
I cannot handle the cuteness of those dogs! Esp the smiley photo in the middle!!0 -
Ok, way behind but I am trying to catch up on 20+ pages!! Had a good trip to the hospital to have my daughters portacath for her meds removed. We are finished with treatment and now that being gone truly makes it official. She is a trooper too. Unfortunately the anesthesia made her sick the rest of the day. So playing nurse to my little one.
Sending her well wishes!!0 -
Really proud of my dad today, he's riding in The Tour de Cure in Cincinnati for my brother who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last December at the age of 20. My dad loves to cycle but he hasn't done 100 miles in a long time! I hope to be able to join him next year!
That's awesome! 20 is really old to be diagnosed! Was he sick a long time??0 -
My friend is supposed to be bringing her kids over today (5 & 2) and while I like seeing them, I'm also kind of dreading it. Her kids get super excited about seeing my dog but have no idea how to properly behave around them.
They shriek and cry and run around and try to sneak up behind her to pet her. My dog is 2, I've had her for 6 months. She was never exposed to kids with her previous owners and only once or twice since she's been with me.
My friend won't do anything about the way they act either. She shrugs and says "Oh well, they have to learn" and I HATE IT! Yes, they need to learn, but not by being bitten! And she obviously doesn't understand how upset I
would be, and that it would be me and my dog who would get the blame.
That would seriously piss me off to the point where I am not sure I would have those kids over anymore.
Good luck!0 -

Your house your rules. Kids can see the dog when the are sitting quietly. Bring dog out. Talk to kids and explain then put dog in a quiet room away from kids. Calm but firm. You know that Any dog has the potential to harm and you are not willing to put the kids, the dog, or yourself in a potentially bad situation. If friend doesn't like it a firm calm restating of your boundaries. I love you and your kids. I love dog. I'm not willing to have the kids at risk by the dog reacting to their attempts to play. Dog is not a toy and is not used to kids. Kids are inadvertently acting in a manner that dog can see as a threat. End of discussion. Don't be bullied into a situation that you are not comfortable being in.My friend is supposed to be bringing her kids over today (5 & 2) and while I like seeing them, I'm also kind of dreading it.

I agree with all of this ...but I wouldn't want to have to put my dog in another room. We had a very grumpy Dachshund with a lot of medical problems. Our guests were always told what they were allowed/not allowed to do around him. It was his house too..he shouldn't have to be put away. Your friend needs to respect your house and your rules...your dog shouldn't have to suffer and be shut away(IMO).
And now I'm sad talking about him because today actually marks the one year anniversary of his death. He was 15.5 years old. RIP

Oh, you're such a sweetheart.
Someone earlier mentioned sewing patterns - I can't go back and find it now, but thought I'd leave this here for them:
OMG, I am crying. The head boppin' lady in the background is killing me!
Haha, I didn't even notice her until you pointed it out!
Me either!!0 -
I would have told her the truth, nicely. I would never lie to a friend about something like that.I told a friend she looked beautiful in a new outfit. My real thoughts..... she looked fat & awful. The style did absolutely nothing for her shape. Would a real friend tell her the truth? I don't want to hurt her feelings; she believes she looks like a rock star.
Also, I would be really pissed if someone let me walk around thinking I looked great if I looked awful.

Mmm we knew something was off with him a couple months before he was disagnosed but other than that as far as we knew he was okay! He's been told he was diagnosed old 0
