Do you read Ann Rule books? I read the one about the Green River Killer titled 'Green River, running red' and one about Ted Bundy 'The stranger beside me'. I could not put either down!
The Only Living Witness is a pretty excellent read on Ted Bundy if you're interested. Not to sound totally weird but I find him fascinating...
I like (well not like) but am interested by serial killers. I've read books, watched movies, documentaries. I have not read 'Helter Shelter' yet based on Ted Manson and those murders, heard that's a real out there book, scary wise I think (?)
Helter Skelter is about Charles Manson
Ted Bundy I think is the other name you were thinking about.....
oh crap, yes Charles. ty!0 -
I confess that I'm 38 and still can't watch scary movies. I'll have nightmares and be freaked out in the dark.0

Finally. Caught. Up. Onthisaweseomefreakingthread!!!! Woo! Been reading this thing forever. It's like non-stop greatness. From the humor to the motivation, and even the fights (LOL).
My confession: If I eat chips straight from a big bag, I won't count them. I know it's bad, but I usually think "I'll take just a few". But I keep coming back for more. I probably end up eating about 400 calories worth of keep-coming-back-for-more chips. I'm trying to be more conscious of that though.0 -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam
Elisa Lam is extremely interesting because no one knows how she could have gotten into that water tank by herself. There's also security footage of her acting strange in an elevator shortly before her death... I find it kind of unsettling. A movie is being made about her I think.
James Bulger's death makes me so sad because he was just a tiny boy... and killed by two grade school kids! What would compel a couple of children to do something so awful?
I remember the Elisa Lam case and just how unusual it was. They did a similar storyline on Castle once (don't judge...Nathan Fillion
) .
On a more lighthearted topic...there's a woman here who wears Nike athletic pants and a running tshirt EVERY casual Friday. CF is supposed to be jeans and a polo, not pants so tight I can make out every wrinkle in her *kitten*. It grosses me out so much.
I also don't understand how anyone can wear a turtleneck.0 -

I just weigh the bag before and after, and whatever the damage is, that's what it is. Disclaimer: mine are pork rinds, not chips, so the damage isn't quite as high, either.0 -

Me too, and continue to have nightmares sporadically for years.

I do this, too. Then, I usually log one or two servings and call it a day.
I do the same thing with nuts...0 -

I'm interested in most as well. I used to have like two huge volume books on murderers throughout history...I'd leave it around my awful roommate in college so she'd see lol.
Although I will say I was legit freaking out when the news broke about Ariel Castro. He used to shop at the JCP I worked at during the time when those girls were taken. I remember going to the market downtown and ALWAYS seeing 'missing' posters for them. So creepy because we were about the same age.
Really? Wow, I'd be super creeped out, too. That story haunted me for a while and I had no personal connection. I hate the Dr. Phil show, but I watched the 2-part interview he did with the one gal and I've watched her follow-up appearance. The things she has over come is incredible. (I can't think of her name, but if I look it up I'll get emotionally invested in the story again.)0 -

To be fair, I'm also wearing a long shirt and boots, so...
I should had clarified but I didn't want it to be one of those long posts people skip.
Leggings with a tunic or other longer shirt/sweater is fine, cute even. Leggings worn the same as jeans would be where your shirt is not long enough to cover you rear, especially in a work setting, NOT ACCEPTABLE. I don't care how fit or thin you are. I don't want to see your *kitten* when you're walking past my office. Thanks.
No worries, my leggings are always worn with tunic-length tops. I don't want my 51 year old *kitten* on display either.
Because I'm kinda tall, I sometimes wear garments that were originally intended as dresses, but would be waaaay too short on me, as "tunics".
I bought maternity tank tops at Target because they were long enough to wear with skinny jeans. I love them!

Confession #2: I'm happy my friends confide in me and come to me with their problems but I'm starting to become emotionally drained from them.
You know what's super frustrating? When you give good sound advice because you're on the outside looking in and they keep repeating the same destructive behavior over and over again and then wonder why their life is so full of stress and drama.
I have found myself distancing myself from these people because I don't want their S#!t spilling over into my life. I have my own things to worry about.
^^^^^ This, exactly. I seem to attract people who have major issues with this very thing. If you don't want advice or you don't plan to take it, don't ask for it and don't drag me into your drama. I am sure it says something about me that I attract these people but I am going to gloss over that part.
My husband referred to us as "drama magnets". We do not have any, or hardly any, drama of our own, but the people we know sure love dragging us into theirs.

I purge after eating something ridiculously unhealthy, and yes, I know it's equally unhealthy to do that, but the guilt kills me. I do this maybe only twice a month, and I'm not in no way encouraging this, I need to learn to just not eat things I know will make me want to purge. Sidenote: this was hard to admit to.

Welcome to the club! Hope you'll join us (err.. think it's just me at this point) making the non-perky shoulder workout video.
Yes please! I have broad shoulders but very doughy arms. I'll be the asthmatic girl in the way back, struggling to keep up.
Trust me, you won't be struggling to keep up if I'm the instructor. However, you may well be hypnotized by the batwings flapping away merrily on my twiggy arms.
That's it. I'm totally in on this. Shoulder workout commences tonight! (I remember the routine, but how often was this going down?)
Too bad I can't get away with doing it at work. That would be a much more productive use of my time most days.
I'm aiming for nightly but have to skip the occasional evening due to time constraints.
When looking for my lightweight dumbbells I also found a 5 lb kettlebell from my early days of resistance training so I've added a KB shoulder press (if that's what you call it?) to my routine.
Perhaps you can demonstrate a desk modification workout on the video... that could really expand the target market.
Ooooooooooooh. That's a very large market. We could probably do a major city tour with that kind of pull.0 -
Oh dear I need to confess this one... I hate my boss and also have a rather horrendous gas problem (long story - serious GI issues - awaiting surgery). Whenever she pisses me off I walk past her and release a noxious one. Not immediately - I bide my time and brew up a big one. She dare not say anything because she knows it's due to a serious medical condition. Sometimes I feel a little bit evil.
Oh my gosh. laughing so hard. That's awesome.0 -

I'm fairly certain that's one of the main reasons one of our front office girls got her job. She's one of the few they look good on. Still not appropriate for an accountant's office though.0 -

I don't know that one by name, and not going to google it. The one that haunted me when I was little was Jeanine Nicarico. She was my age, and my dad (from the area) and his siblings had a lot of mutual friends with her family. Eventually it came out they also had mutual friends or were friends with the killer's family, too. We were living in Wisconsin then, but all my cousins were local, and getting stranger danger assemblies at school every month. There were scares on the news any time someone saw anything suspicious. It was infuriating that everyone knew who really did it for years before the police got around to fixing their mistakes. The guy flat out confessed to anyone who would listen.0 -

Good for you for getting it off your chest. Hopefully you can make progress now. Keep at it! It can be done.0 -

Whenever I question if something I want to wear to work is too unprofessional, I just think of my one coworker who always wears those running shoes with the creepy separate toes to the office.
I have those. Vibram Five fingers. Two of my kids love them. I would not consider them business appropriate however, not even business casual.

The only show I hate on there is Disappeared since a lot of the cases are still unsolved. The funny thing is I can watch ID Channel, but Criminal Minds gives me the creeps.0 -
I have a pair of socks with a separate toe for each toe. They're cute, but I've only worn them a time or two. They're fun looking though!0

Definitely not at work
At first I thought she was bare-assed, then I realized that was not her skin color. Ugh. Also, it looks so trashy that Lowe's employees wear whatever they want (yes, a bit of a grumble because I have to wear a work issued polo, pants that button, and a belt).

I'm the same way. More often than not, I now just take a serving and put the rest away. Sometimes, I still grab handfuls. Old habits.

I would love a pet pig!!! Although my dog is pretty good at cleaning up unwanted food too (but can't have chocolate so it limits things somewhat). But he barks. I'm so sick of the constant barking every time someone walks outside.
About scary movies, I don't like them either. But going to force myself to go see Crimson Peak because of Tom Hiddleston. Fully expect to scream in the theater.
Confessions.. I decided today that I would save sweets for after dinner *if* I have the calories left and I'm not that hungry, to avoid being too hungry and going over later.... I've already failed.
And tomorrow's my birthday and I picked that nice restaurant for dinner (already pre-logged it and I'm looking at 1800 calories minimum for the whole meal), but I also want some cake or something because I haven't had a real birthday cake in years... but I don't know what kind, which might just save me, as I don't like spending so many calories on something 'just because' if I'm not actually craving it.0 -

Yeah it's crazy. I recognized his brother when they showed him on the news. It was probably Michelle that talked on Dr Phil. I can't stand him so I didn't watch. But I believe she's been the most vocal of the 3.0 -
Ugghh...I had a healthy lunch all picked out and was really looking forward to it for a friend's birthday lunch today. But the line was too long and we ended up at a Mexican restaurant instead. And, here I am, an entire basket of chips later...at least I only had tortilla soup to follow it up with! I'm figuring 800 for the chips and 250 for the soup. Trying to move on...0
