Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Okay i am now back on page 908...almost back to where I left off on Thursday and encountering myself. Looks like my next post is my 1000 so I was going to post something but then chickened out. So will post this 'would you tell someone they look terrible' confession.
When I go to the gym I never wear underwear. A LONG time ago I basically totally exposed myself to a trainer wearing looser shorts when he was holding my ankles and I was doing sit ups. I know he saw EVERYTHING. But we just pretended nothing was going on (both too embarrassed I think...and its funny that Bare A**ed is part of that word) so to this day, when I go to a dressing room and try on looser shorts that don't have a built in panty I do the 'stress test'... basically stand with my butt to the mirror and contort myself in every way possible. As long as nothing gets exposed, I buy them.
My friend and I now have a standing joke whenever I buy something new...did it pass the stress test?0 -
Aww crap it still says 999 post. darn.
Edited to say...that did it. 1000!0 -

I just got done reading a book where the characters were constantly talking about delicious strawberry wine and it made me crave the stuff. Problem is... I never had strawberry wine. Is it any good? Does anyone know OF good strawberry wine?
Also, that purse thing is rough. I can't even imagine
Im sorry and I hope a good person returns it to you.
When I was in my teens and buying wine on a fake ID I used to buy Boone's Farm Strawberry Wine. Like $2 a bottle. Liked it then. Now...ewww. But maybe a better brand would be better?0 -
I ended up staying at home today because a lot of businesses jumped the gun and closed early because it was supposed to rain pretty badly. It might come around 2am but I'm guessing everyone just got a free day off.
Ugg, my allergies are killing me. I'm just too bleh to try catching up.0 -

Would a real friend tell her the truth? I don't want to hurt her feelings; she believes she looks like a rock star.
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:
That is beautiful!0 -

Very funny. I've exposed myself inadvertently several times. In my early 20's I used to not wear underwear with nylons (now I don't wear nylons). I walked out to greet a client (entertainment/movie studio industry) in a little dress and the wind whipped the dress up well above my waist. Yup, said client got an eyeful. Hopefully he was bleary-eyed from flying in from Europe that day but I doubt it. Neither one of us mentioned it. I straightened my dress, held out my hand to shake hands and drove him to a meeting with my then boss.

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.
Aww sorry to hear this from a few says ago, but glad your daughter is finished with her treatment! I wish her well. Anesthesia makes me throw up whenever I get it. My sister (a nurse) advised me if you warn them about it then they can give you something so when you wake up you aren't throwing up. I did that last time and it worked!0 -
Oh man, birds are amazing. I don't see myself being able to properly care for one but I just love em.pofoster21 wrote: »

I confess I didn't want to work out this morning, but I did it anyway, in part thanks to the video below. I'm sharing it here because it is so awesome. I caught it in another thread where a new MFP member was looking for motivation. It's part of an ad campaign ('This Girl Can') in Great Britain that uses real women to inspire young women - and all women - to get active. The music is 'Get Ur Freak On' by Missy Elliott. Enjoy

This was great! Thanks for sharing.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!
Congratulations! That is wonderful for him and you can totally do it! Just make sure to get the Hoo Ha cream!0 -
This is my rare Queen of the Night peniocereus greggii. It blooms one night a year. It blooms at or after sunset and the flowers wilt when sunlight touches them. Last night was bloom night. It was rescued with permits from a site that was going to be developed. I have not seen one in the wild, but I may have overlooked it as the cacti itself just looks like graying sticks most of the time. The flowers have a lovely scent.
This is so cool. I never heard of it before.0 -

It's basically tiny glass shards that gets under their little exoskeletons and kills them. You can get it at any garden center/Home Depot sort of place.
I like it better than the poison because I don't worry about it getting on me (don't inhale it though, or let your pets inhale it - glass shards in lungs is not good). Last year and this year I had ant problems, put a line of it where it looked like their home was (so they walk through it and take the little shards down into the nest to kill everyone off) and they were gone in a day. I then wash away the powder so I don't have to worry about my dog deciding to sniff it.
This is the best stuff! It is actually not harmful to dogs or people. Only insects or germs? Parasites? I use it on my horses feet to ward off thrush and people feed it to horses. I highly recommend it.
I think that might only be the food grade kind though? I could be wrong, but I believe there are two types, one that is okay for animals and one that is not.
Oh, I don't know. I'll have to look. I just buy the kind I buy. I better double check!0 -

Confession: I miss living in Japan. The culture there is so wonderful. And the people are so much more thoughtful and lovely compared to Americans. I am an American, but other Americans disappoint me a great deal. I don't mean to offend anyone. We could learn so much from other cultures. Where we lived there was ZERO crime. You could sleep with your windows and doors wide open, leave your car unlocked. The mailman would actually come into your house and set your mail inside your house. I could go on and on, but that's just one small example.
Could not agree more.
Me too. I remember watching some docs about prisons over seas and the violence and crap from inmates was nearly non existent because they are actually treated properly. Some of the prisons had swimming pools and all kinds of crap to keep the inmates healthy. Some allow them to house with family members and friends etc. And most had menus and food of that of a five star hotel. I was amazed and thought it was brilliant.
Just wondering? Was it for all inmates or the ones who did petty crimes?
I know you like the ID channel & for all of those who watch it too they're having a special about Ted Bundy on Sunday. I will probably watch it since I have never watched anything based on him before.

This is one of the cases that stuck with me for a long time. It almost seemed like something out of a movie. I couldn't believe the wife wasn't arrested too.
I do believe it was all inmates.....one thing I forgot that is a big one too is that guards are expected to treat the inmates with the utmost respect....and amazingly (sarcastic), the inmates treated the guards the same way.
Treat people like animals, and they will behave as such.....
I was a corrections officer at an all male prison in Virginia for a year and a half before I moved back here to Ohio. I will say I always treated the offenders like the human beings they are and was treated a lot differently then some of the other staff who treated these men like they were dogs. I understand the majority of the men who were incarcerated and I was around all the time committed some incredibly heinous and horrible crimes but I always kept in mind that they've already been judged and now they're serving their sentence it's not my job to judge them. On the flip side I always kept in the back of my mind the horrible crimes they did commit so I didn't get too close to any of them. You'd be surprised how much manipulation can be worked and how smart a lot of those criminals really are!
I am rally surprised by this. You mentioned it once before. How did you end up in that job? I would be terrified.
I majored in criminal justice and psychology in college and have always wanted to work with offenders. At the prison I wanted to be a casework counselor for the offenders but the prison only hires from within so I became an officer instead! I had an interview to be a counselor when I found out my fiancé cheated. No point of staying in VA when my whole family was in OH.
I really admire you. That is really cool (not the fiance -- no idea how to add the accent) but on your career choice. Are you pursuing that in OH now?0 -

I also had a burger, slice of pizza and my last 2 Oreo pop tarts for lunch. Plus my leg hurts so I'm not even exercising today.
What is a taco?!?! Other than delicious Mexican food, which I can only assume is not what you're referring to in this particular context.
Toyota Tacoma and now I want the Mexican food version lol.
Sigh. I may make the best chile rellenos in the world (no sense in false modesty =P) but there's no way I am touching that recipe until I am deeply entrenched in maintenance eating. I sure love that stuff, though.
Teach me your ways! When I lived in Tucson I got decent at cooking a variety of Mexican foods, but rellenos avoided me.
Edit: Spelling is hard.
Glad to oblige - I love sharing recipes! The most common missteps I see with rellenos are using a flour-based batter and using (oh please god don't do this) enchilada sauce instead of salsa.
Anyway, here is a good traditional recipe, and I apologize to others on this thread that it is so long:
Chile Rellenos
Ingredients
3 C. high-quality roasted-tomato salsa (translation: Don't go buy the stuff in jars at the grocery). Some people prefer a Salsa Verde, which can be lovely as well. Either way, I prefer to make my own. Let me know if you want a recipe - it's easy to make! These days, many stores carry pretty good fresh salsas.
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt (measured) plus additional to taste
4 whole medium-sized Poblano or Anaheim chiles (about 1 lb.)
Note: Anaheim chiles are slightly milder than Poblano. I prefer Poblano because they are wider and easier to work with, plus I find their flavor a bit richer. They are only a little hotter than Anaheims.
3 C. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 C. vegetable oil of your choice
4 large eggs, separated and at room temperature. Note: Separate the eggs when they're cold, then bring them to room temp. Make SURE there is no yolk mixed in with the egg whites or they won't froth up properly.
Directions
Warm the salsa in a small saucepan and hold it at that temp while you work on the chiles.
Heat the oven to 250.
Put a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
Make a "T" shaped cut in each chile, with the top bar being about half an inch from the stem and the long cut running nearly the whole length of the chile. Don't cut off the stem end completely - you need the chile to be a little container
Carefully open the flaps of the cut and use a paring knife and/or spoon to gently remove the core, ribs, and seeds.
If you have a gas stove, turn a burner to medium-high and roast each chile by putting it directly on the burner and turning with tongs for 5-7 minutes or until the skin on all sides is blistered and has blackened spots. OR turn your broiler to high and put the chiles on a rack. Broil 8-9 minutes, turning with tongs, until skin on all sides is blistered/blackened. Chiles broiled this way will be a tad softer, so be careful when working with them.
Remove the chiles to a large bowl, cover tightly, and let sit until they are cool enough to handle (they will continue to steam, which makes the skins easier to remove). Then use a butter knife to GENTLY scrape away and discard the skins.
Yes, I know this is more of a hassle than just buying canned chiles, but roasting the fresh chiles like this is one of the keys to making the dish really amazing (the others are good salsa and the correct batter).
Season the chiles inside and out with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Stuff each with a generous 2/3 C. of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, then close flaps and set aside.
Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl until light in color and frothy (about 2 minutes).
Add 1/2 tsp. salt to the egg whites and use a mixer to beat until stiff peaks form (about 1.5 minutes)
Add the egg yolks to the whites and gently fold them in with a spatula until they are just barely combined. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it's quite hot - about 4 minutes.
Work with one chile at a time. Drop 1/2 C. of the egg batter into the oil and use a spatula to spread it out to about the same size as the chile. Lay the chile cut-side down on top of the batter. Drop another 1/2 C. of batter on top and use a spatula to spread it evenly around the rest of the chile, covering all but the stem.
Cook until the bottom is golden-brown (2-3 minutes). Then use a spatula + a fork to carefully turn the relleno over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. If you need to, use a spatula or tongs to stand it on each side to brown. Place the relleno on the rack that's on the baking sheet, and put into the oven to keep warm. Do the same with the remaining chiles as you finish them.
To serve, put 1/3 C. of the warmed roasted tomato salsa on a plate and top with a chile relleno. Serve additional salsa on the side. If you don't like salsa (sacrilege!) you could serve them over fire-roasted tomatoes.
Thank you so much! I'd love your salsa recipe, too if you want to share. I've used my own fresh roasted I think I've been messing up the batter- I've tried a bunch of different flour\egg wash\corn meal things with no success.0 -

Sometimes a song comes into my head out of nowhere... I just think about it randomly. Then later in the day I'll hear it coming out a radio or something. Yesterday I was whistling Frank Sinatra's Under my Skin just before my boyfriend and I went to the movie theater to see Sony's E3 press conference (video game geeks here). Lo and behold, one of the final trailers of the night (Batman Arkham Knight) was playing Under my Skin. I was kind of taken aback, as the song was still stuck in my head at that point and it's weird to hear it ACTUALLY START PLAYING. Especially that song, which I never hear unless I look for it.
EDIT: Sorry to all of you whistle haters
EDIT2: Since I've seen the trailer I have watched it about fifty times on YouTube and listened to the full song a few times as well. The blasted song won't get out of my head.
... EDIT3: Batman's Joker is one of the most interesting villains in anything ever, in my opinion.0 -
Last night for dessert I had a Little Debbie Cosmo Brownie AND a Klondike Bar. I love, love, love chocolate and I have a small piece every single day but last night, I just had to have more. So I did.0

Wonderful. Nothing like justifying the over-inflated cost of something low cal by having to force it down due to an awful taste. Glad I didn't buy 2. (Thanks for the warning)
Yeah. I actually wasn't going to say anything since you hadn't tasted it yet and maybe you will enjoy it, but I have not had a single good experience with Arctic Zero products. But then, I also don't like the Halo Top stuff that several posters here really enjoy, so...it's good that you are at least trying it. Maybe it'll be a good purchase!
I usually prefer to just budget calories for real ice cream and gelato.
The only 'diet' ice cream I've ever found that I genuinely like is the Skinny Cow line of products. My favorites are the salted caramel pretzel ice cream bars (160 cals, 9g fat); snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches (120 cals, 2 g fat); chocolate peanut butter ice cream sandwiches (150 cals, 5g fat); chocolate truffle fudge bars (100 cals, 2.5g fat), and the chocolate mousse ganache sugar cone (160 cals, 4.5g fat).
The salt in the wound to this is I DO have the cals for something real. I was going out on a limb for a guilt free treat. I have never tried gelato. How is it?
Like ice cream, it depends on the quality. I think Talenti gelato is amazing stuff. I like it as much as Ben & Jerry's ice cream, but it typically has at least 50 calories less per serving, and a LOT less fat:

Please please PLEASEEEE refrain from being mean.
I ate a quarter of a watermelon ... that was about 12-inch in diameter... with a couple of slices of Arnold Whole Wheat bread n butter as a snack tonight. Don't know how many cups or ounces that was of the watermelon ... but I cut the thing into 1 -1/2 inch squares right down and figure the 4 center ones were about 1 cup each ... so I ate between 6-8 cups of that wonderful red juicy delicacy that I indulge in once each summer. There is all the left-over watermelon to enjoy as the week goes on, but none of it will taste as good as that first quarter.

Heaven on a spoon.
And even though I see it in the freezer at the store, I thought it would be gross. Now I am tempted.
I just tried this Arctic Zero crap. Orange Cream flavor and while it's not terrible, it's very bland. I ate about 1/3 pint and put it back in the freezer. Boooo0 -
