Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

And yet another rant... despite buying tights labelled as suitable for women up to 5'11" (and I am only 5'9"), I have once again spent the day in tights whose crotch sat about 2" below mine. Don't even get me started on the weight range... which begins about 30 lbs heavier than I am.
Well, if nothing else, the damned tights shortened my stride so I probably ended up logging more steps on my lunch hour walk. Guess there's a bright side.
I sympathize. This has happened to me so many times ( leading to me shuffling around work like I'm constipated). Why do tight manufacturers not realize that some women have long legs?? Anyway, I switched to hold up stockings. They look helluva sexier and eliminate the crotch issue altogether.
On another note, I hate people who humble brag or ask 'help me' questions on here then shoot down every single answer as impossible. Also people that b**tch about their SO's on public Internet forums.0 -
My husband and I have a 12 year old youkie named Mandy (our first child) who is on heart Medicin. The vet says do what you have to to get her to take them. (It seems to get harder and harder. Damn clever dog) So for the confession part 1: I fed her the Medicin in the last meatball so I wouldn't eat it. Now the poor thing has gas and looks miserable.
She won't even play with my husband. Who teases Mandy about an invisible bone. She continues to nip at him with her tail a wagging. Confession 2: it's a little annoying after a while and I hope she actually nips him at some stage. Not that it would hurt because she had to have her bottom front teeth removed about a year ago.
My former dog took thyroid medication for 10 years, twice a day. I used to buy cheap processed cheese slices, tear off a small piece, and squish/fold his pill inside that. He gobbled it up. Just to be fair, the other dog got a small piece of cheese too, without a pill.
I never used the cheese slices for anything else and they lasted quite well for a few days.
This is what we do for our dog's steroid medicine. She looks forward to it every night. You ask, "Lucy, do you want your pills?" And she starts dancing around. If she thinks you've taken too long or it's getting late, she'll just stare at you until she gets her pills. It's quite cute and annoying at the same time.

My energy levels have been next to zero for the past few days. Today I was so exhausted I spent most of my day in bed, and when I attempted to take a bath I fell asleep in there too! Yesterday was the same thing... woke up several times sitting up in my chair without remembering falling asleep.
My eating habits haven't been as good as I would like, so I need to really try cleaning it up and drinking more water. 0 -
I have completely irrational anxiety about talking on the phone to anyone but my immediate family. As a result I don't answer the phone when I don't recognise the number, most of the time I don't answer it even when I do. I absolutely hate having to call to make appointments (doctors, hair etc). Even my manager at work has taken the hint and now texts/emails me instead to ask if I can cover for someone.
I can't remember if it's always been like this, but it is soo annoying sometimes!0 -
I completely understand, I'm the same way. The second I hear the phone ring I start getting sweaty palms. There are a lot of people who don't understand and ask "Why don't you just pick up the phone? It's just talking... you're talking to me right now, what's the difference?" It's something I can't explain!

Lying in bed reading, but it was really bugging me to end the day over my calorie goal. It was only by 11 cals, but I hate the red numbers... So I got up and jogged on the spot for a few minutes, then got back into bed. Bf didn't turn a hair, he's getting used to me obsessing about my numbers now.0

My other confession is that occasionally I've had extra cals after midnight and logged them for the next day.
That is hysterical... I always wonder if I should do that... eat after 12 and log it in for the next day.0 -

I am this way too. I am notoriously difficult to get ahold of via phone. The funny thing is that I've had two jobs where answering the phone was my responsibility.0 -

Spend some time today looking over possible interview questions and practicing the interview. Maybe this will help calm you down. Best of luck to you!
Thank you! I've been looking up potential questions and typing out the answers. I just have to work on not stuttering or sounding like I'm reading them off the page (which I totally will be). I guess I'm feeling a little more prepared. Working out helped burn off some of the nervous energy, too

Good luck! You can do it. At least they can't see how nervous you are when you're on the phone. Be confident.
Thanks! And true: they won't see my knee twitching or the flop sweat

I don't really have anxiety about using it, but I kind of irrationally hate the phone and get anxious about messages.
I never really liked talking on the phone, even as a teenager when I was supposed to, but I've gotten to actively dislike it. Part of this was after a while NO ONE I knew would ever call in an unplanned way (I schedule calls with my parents), so for years I got nothing but calls trying to sell something or asking for money, and although I wouldn't answer hearing the rings stressed me out, as well as all the messages that were really "beep, click." Finally I killed the land line, but I still find it weirdly stressful to deal with messages on my cell--I always wonder why they don't just email, like I do. And when people call me on my cell or at work to try and raise money it pisses me off--I say "I don't make financial decisions by phone, send me a letter or email me," and of course they are trained to keep talking as long as you let them and I get mad because I can't just hang up like a normal person.
At work most people now email, but whenever I walk into my office and see a message and have to call and get it I get really stressed and annoyed until I deal with it, especially since people invariably want you to call back but talk really really really slow until they get to the call back number, which they mumble or speed through.
Some people I know (including at work) ignore ringing phones and can sit there happily with a message light on without checking, but that makes me supremely anxious--I cannot ignore it or be happy until it's dealt with.
I realize this is all my issue.0 -

Me too!! And if they leave a voice mail I get anxious about listening to it and delay as long as possible. I don't want to "call you back" or do whatever it is you're trying to get me to do.

I will join in this party. I am on conference calls 10 hours a day. The last thing I want is to call someone and talk to them on the phone. My mom always complains I never call. I am like I spend all day on the phone. I don't want to call someone after work and talk! That is not relaxing for me. I also never listen to vm. I think if I listen to it I have to call people back. As long as I don't listen I have no responsibility. I know this is irrational but most people know that about me now and don't leave messages.0 -
Ok so my confession - I hate baths. They actually completely gross me out. It's childhood trauma from my mom never rinsing the tub before giving us baths and my dad's hair floating all over. Just so freaking gross.
I still freak out when the shower drain is getting clogged and water keeps accumulating and cannot take showers in public places like the gym, I get completely grossed out by any hair on the drains... even mine.
Needless to say, my husband can keep asking about going camping, it's just not happening.
I am grossed out by hair in the tub, walls, and drain, too.0 -
I hate calling people too. Love emails and texts. I grunt every time my kids get a birthday invite and there's no email to RSVP... Part of it is because of my accent and I know that some people have a hard time understanding me...0

My sister was making pink champagne cupcakes for a bridal shower, and I ate four of them. The sad thing is they tasted so good I didn't even feel bad.0

Confession: Today I gave a patient an enema, then immediately (after washing my hands, natch) went to lunch. It was delicious.0

Are you from Quebec, by any chance? My social anxiety got a lot worse when I moved here... I have a bad accent in French and worry about people not being able to understand me. It's so bad that I can read French ok, but I am just awful at speaking it. I also dread going to the store because I don't want to "disappoint" people by being an anglophone (I am aware of how dumb and untrue that isI hate calling people too. Love emails and texts.

No I'm from France and I live in the US, so it's the same thing, just the other way around, lol. My English isn't bad, I just have an accent, obviously.

@ ythannah
Wow 10 years!! We are going on 2 now. She is usually given her heart meds twice a day and then she is given a diarrhetic twice a week. She has "special" meat and cheese in the fridge.
@MoHousdon
I know what you mean about how excited they get when it's tablet time. Mandy doesn't stare at us like your Lucy does but she will stare above the microwave where we keep them. My dog dances too. She is also clever enough to trick a few of us into giving her a double dose.

Unfortunately, he does not churn our butter. He works 60+ hours a week and still helps around the house including most of the cooking. I'm not going to fuss about his inability or non-interest in churning our butter.
Ain't nobody got time for that!
Making butter is super easy and doesn't take long at all. It also tastes AMAZING.
Get a pint jar and fill it halfway with heavy cream. Put a lid on the jar. Shake it all about while you do other things until solids form. Open and stir a bit. Drain liquid (save if you want buttermilk) and add a little salt. Stir or shake a bit more until you have the consistency you want.
So good. It's been a while since I've done that, but if I remember correctly, it's about 10 or 15 minutes of shaking.0 -
Count me in one the phone thing! I absolutely hate talking on the phone, getting voicemail on my mobile stresses me out to the point that my voicemail message actually say I'd prefer if the caller would hang up and send me a text. My best friend, who is interstate, gets upset at me because I neglect her because I never call and half the time I don't answer when she calls.0

MFP has murdered my love of ketchup. I am now forced to siracha everything. Oh man I miss ketchup, but I fear if I have some I will just pour the whole bottle down my throat I love it so much.
Here is a lil backwards confession. I miss my fat gut every time I take a bath. It was like a perfect table to lay my computer, or book, or whatever on while i soaked for hours. Now that I am 25lbs less (!!!) barely anything sticks out of the water and I have to hold everything up.
But one of those bathtub trays and enjoy your 25 lb. loss! Even with a tray I don't think I'd trust myself to have a laptop with me in the tub. That thing would be accidentally submerged within a matter of minutes.
Me too. I take my tablet in the bath sometimes, but I am so nervous that I'm going to drop it one of these days.
I take my kindle in when I take a bath but I perch myself over the edge of the tub tub so the kindle isn't over water, I know I'm weird.
I do this too!
Put it in a large ziploc bag the kind with the little plastic piece on top. That way if it falls in it won't be damaged and if your hands get wet the kindle won't.
I do this all the time. And the touch screen still works it the bag on it.0 -

This... is such a foreign 'concept'...and in reading of its existence, feels as though I've just learned that some previously-understood, unwritten 'rule', about something 'fundamental' in the universe, has just been discovered to be false... (guess what? -- it turns out you *can* divide by zero!... <--- you might as well have just 'announced' *that*, the utter shockwave-inducing consequence of finding out that jujubes have now had a 'hey, you got jujubes in my chocolate!', Reese's-like 'big bang' moment, was *that* stunning (and summarily shattered my previous understanding of what would constitute viable 'chocolate-coverable, candy concoction compatibility complexes (jujubes and chocolate...?...! -- it's almost 'sci-fi' -like, it's so 'otherworldly'...! ))...
ythannah, I'm a fan of chocolate, and have historically been a fan of jujubes... but I'm gonna 'need a moment' to let this one sink in...
There was entirely too much bacon in this thread, IMHO. It needed another injection of chocolate.
It's funny you mention that, because something I thought, but somehow refrained from conveying (perhaps I received a telepathic signal from you? :P ), was that the only way to make those chocolate covered jujubes any better would be to wrap them in bacon...! (I'm not kidding -- that actually crossed my mind... )
(An associated reality, however, would be the likely subsequent need to freaking toothpick-ize them, and *that's* not gonna happen (unless they're served as appetizers at some party for which the attendees are prepared to 'expect the unexpected' (though it still might warrant having them sign liability waivers, what with the pending shock being of such non-trivial 'magnitude' ))...
I'm wondering why 2 of your posts on an earlier page were flagged??? Any idea why?
I had no idea that any of my posts had been flagged... how 'nice'...
If I had to hazard a guess, it would seem that the length 'bothered' someone (though that doesn't constitute grounds for flagging)...
I just checked details associated with my notifications... 2 posts were flagged (and presumably by the same person) as being "Spam" (which they perhaps consider anything beyond a certain length to 'be' (so much for embracing the "absolutely no judgment" aspect of the thread))...
(Thank you for the heads up... and Thank you for reading my posts...)
I read them, too. Mostly.
Also, Mindy is my favorite.
I don't read them I confess as they are too long. But no one should be flagged for that.
I do usually skim them to see if there is something I want to invest the time in. I did find the history of the equal sign really interesting.0 -

I have slightly elevated T due to medical issues. I also work out a lot.
