    People who are overly concerned with conforming to the tastes of another person. People, especially Internet strangers, should not be dictating your self-esteem or what you want for your life

    I know exactly what you're referring to and it's taken everything I have to not highjack that whole thread and vomit my thoughts all over it.

    Hold me back

    At first I didn't but now I think I do and, even if I'm wrong, a whole lotta smacking upside the head needs to happen.

    I cut my finger on an apple corer (like a papercut) too high up to get a bandaid to cover it and I keep catching it on everything. 😑😫

    I'm irked I had to scroll down to find this thread :p

    A client brought us a dozen donuts today (not the same one who looooooooooves to feed us donuts and miscellaneous fun stuff from trader joe's) and we still have see's candy in the office and I gained a few pounds at the end of the year*

    Anyway, I had already eaten the chocolate off a few pieces of the see's candy and had half a bagel and a donut. I *really* hope the boss doesn't want them around so I can give them to the homeless and not to my stomach....and thighs....and butt. My collar bone could use some of that donut tho. :)



    *I'm pretty sure they were real pounds. I absolutely went cray cray with the mindless eating and not logging everything I was eating or not eating my normal foods because I was eating other stuff.

    People at the gym who complain about the "New Year resolutioners" filling the gym to capacity and making it hard to get the equipment they usually monopolize. We should be praising the new peeps, welcoming to our family, encouraging them to stay. We are here to better ourselves, they are here to better themselves. Don't like how crowded it is? Hit the gym at 5am like I do, there's always room!

    It's also that crowd that funds the slower 11.5 months of the year off this 2 week rush. Make sure you take the time to thank them in October when you don't have to wait for the squat rack.

    There's no produce in this house. 😑
    (Unless you count chocolate covered raisins.) Even though it's raining and I'd rather stay inside, I need to run to the grocery store

    Does bird seed count? (Also, great idea but it's January in the Midwest. I don't want to wait until spring to sprout a salad) 😉

    So it's the patience you're short on then. I suffer from the same.

    That the crows aren’t befriending me

    Have you ever read up on crows? Whatever you do, do not get on their bad side unless you want your grandchildren to suffer.

    I've heard they can recognize you and carry grudges. I wonder if that played into the Crow movie choice of avatar...

    Same. We probably did the same limited google search but I’m not gonna chance it. I think it said they could tell future generations about you or something like that. Lol.

    But why would you do something to provoke their ire? Be nice & they bring you little pieces of trash to show their appreciation

    Well I was trying to save some baby bunnies potentially. Idk. I figured I was going to let nature run it’s course after I read. I didn’t see anything actually happen. I just knew the bunnies hung out on the edge of my yard. Then I saw the crows. The crows make an extremely annoying sound early in the mornings. I scared them away a few times. Then I read up on the crows. Then I said, I can’t save all the baby bunnies in the world.
