    Supposedly

    I dunno..... I've had one on a pretty good run & it's longer than four months; it damn sure is.

    Tell me more...

    Ha. Like you don't already know. <3<3<3

    Also, almost all of the men I've been in relationships with were not at peak physical fitness (whatever that is). They were, however, all fairly confident, funny and passionate about something (or several somethings). Mentioning this because everyone seems to think that physical attractiveness (IE. being fit or thin) are the only determinants for a relationship when there are several of us out there whose "type" isn't the standard you see in media

    Yes, but I don't want to date someone who would see me now and deem me her type. That would just make me feel worse about myself.

    Is it my imagination or are sumo deadlifts suddenly all the rage?

I am usually one of those people who just goes to the gym, does what I came to do and doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to other people.

    Is your crush @Revolu7? If so and you want a chance at getting his attention just do something that looks like it may irreparably damage your rotator cuff and he may give you unsolicited advice. Perfect chance to drum up conversation.

    This is my current plan anyway 🤷🏾‍♀️

    It is not, but I did unintentionally hurt myself by jamming my pinky finger into the barbell while changing weight plates. I cursed loudly, which I think did get his attention. That's my usual MO...do something awkward and unintentional (usually by hurting myself) to get a good-looking guy's attention.

    I've been thinking about dating a lot. I can't do it now, but what worries me is that I've never had a girlfriend before and I don't want to tell a future girlfriend that because she'll assume there's something wrong with me.

    Everyone has to have a first time. Otherwise no one would have any experiences whatsoever 🤷🏿‍♀️

    Go get 'em, 🐯!

    Yup. I prefer a man who isn’t promiscuous.

    Probably because it's so hard to get a workable grip. -_-

    Also the bar path is shortened and therefore less distance to move the weight.

    I think we are, just looking at it differently.

    This is an interesting article.

    If it works nothing wrong in that. Fein collapsing next time and see if mouth to mouth comes into play.

    A few people have asked me to add them as a friend. I do, but then I "hide" them on my wall because I'm not interested in daily updates of people's diet and exercise routines. I don't plan on posting anything about my daily activity...I'll comment in the boards, but I'm not going to broadcast my "completed day" to everyone. Are there other benefits to having friends (official, added "friends") on here?

    Why does it take about 34 seconds to grow a size but eternity to get back to previous size?

    Well it's not what I would've picked out but dh and contractor made a trip to the flooring store on a Friday p.m. when dh didn't want to bother looking at more than 2 samples. :) And I had something baking in the oven so probably a good idea *I* didn't go or we'd still be looking at a wooden floor.

    I tried to fake a 'oh that's cool' facial expression when they got back and I have to admit, it's grown on me. Hence the mesmerizing effect. :)
    I'll try to post a pic later. We have an embarrassingly small bathroom. :/

    Well i would love to see it. Im always looking for new ideas on how to remodel and design my flip houses. And i love small bathrooms because you can really put a lot into them as far as high quality materials, and its not crazy expensive because you dont need a lot.

    Oh and by the way, i put my flip on the market Thursday, and will be accepting an offer Monday. Its been a pleasant surprise, i was a little worried about this one.

    Count me in for seeing this floor (words I never thought I'd say) @ReenieHJ.

    As for you, @Revolu7, if you're referring to the last place you posted about (with the smart living room/den reno) then you'll be sitting pretty come next week.
