    So basically, I found out at my current job that they're making the most lazy do nothing manager on our property a Director, which means he'll get paid more to do even less.

    I'll also be giving my notice to my current employer today. Things should get real interesting.

    Hmm. When I accepted my last two jobs, I gave notice to my current employer the day the ink dried on my signature on my offer letter. LOL

    Yea I completely get that. I despise clothes shopping and I despise changing rooms even more. If I have a good day I'll pick up all the clothes I'm brave enough to try on and then face the corner of the cubical changing until I'm dressed. I cannot bear to look at myself when I get dressed. Even at home I face away from the mirror until I'm done. So many times I've gone clothes shopping and ended in a puddle of tears because nothing fits.

    I'm sure your girlfriend will change her mind after the climb this weekend. It would be good if you did it as a threesome, and it's great you have found something to do. Is it climbing as in wall climbing or climbing as in hiking? If its wall climbing you will have amazing arms!

    Thank you for climbing it for me! I might have to Photoshop myself into a picture of the top! lol

    Its hill climbing/hiking. We're going to Brecon in Wales this weekend, to do the 'fan dance', which is the UK Special Forces selection training ground. I'm intending to take it as a nice amble - and an excuse for a nice pub meal after!

    LOL photoshop away!

    I am VERY excited to hear about the reaction, FYI. I wish I had popcorn.

    0030.gif I loveeee popcorn!

    And me. I see a recipe that looks good and click on it and all I get is a picture. Sorry but WTF, it's annoying as hell. Take me to the **** recipe! Plus you don't get reviews so it might be disgusting...

    My thoughts exactly! If I'm looking for a pattern or recipe, don't just show me the picture! Give me the details!!!

    On average, I drink one 2 liter bottle of diet coke a day.

    I was sick over the weekend, and since I knew I wouldn't be able to work out, I decided to buy a 1/2 gal of Dreyers S'Mores ice cream, and have that for lunch & dinner on Sunday.

    And then yesterday, as if I was in a Nyquil-fueled dream, I watched myself stop at the store on the way home from work and bought another half gallon, and a package of Popcornopolis Zebra Popcorn just for good measure. Oh, and I ate a frosted old-fashioned donut while walking around the store.

    Why is it that when we can't work out, the diet regulator goes on the fritz AT THE SAME TIME?

    I'm with you. My husband has a long commute. It's either get up at 4:30am to work out or wait until he gets home around 6:30pm. And he reeeeeallly wants to workout together.

    I wish my husband wanted to work out with me. He doesn't go to the gym unless I make a really big deal or of it. I just wind up going during the day by myself, which I don't mind from a workout point of view, but then he doesn't go at all.

    I'm more of the line of not putting in my 2 weeks until I have an exact start date. I'm going to pocket my 100+ hours of vacation pay instead of having to use it to support myself until I start :) lol

    I was never a soda drinker and definitely not a diet soda drinker. I always thought it was gross. A few weeks ago I got a craving for something carbonated so I had a diet soda. Then I had another. Now I'm wanting one every day, for the purpose that it alleviates my hunger and takes my mind off of eating for awhile. I have a hard time breaking habits so I'm a little worried. Nothing wrong with diet soda but I would rather not be drinking it every day and using it to stave off hunger.

    Welcome back to the thread! Your peanut butter confession from a few months ago is very popular.

    How do you feel about seltzer water? The lemon flavor fulfills my desire for something bubbly.

    I just don't get Pintrest at all.

    I only use it to pin pictures I like lol. Maybe one day I'll attempt a recipe or craft, but today is not that day.

    Hell yes! The most of Wales I've seen is Cardiff. I kinda got stuck in Kent. I'm getting better, drove to Torquay for a holiday last summer, and my SO's dad lives in Liverpool so I drive there twice a year. Need to find somewhere for this summer yet.
    Gonna have to look up 'Fan Dance' sounds fun, right up to the words UK Special Forces...then it didn't sound so fun. lol

    Always wondered how you came up with your name! You may have mentioned it back when we were all explaining our names, but that seems like forever ago!

    Lol, Yes, it for my beloved Shiba Inus :smile:

    I felt that way about my mom and mil not acknowledging me on mother's day so I just started sending them flowers so I can spend the day doing what I want instead of trying to keep pleasing them.

    Good for you! That's the best attitude to have. Hope you enjoyed your day!

    I wish I knew. If I'm feeling good and do my workout I make healthy choices.

    No exercise? How about some pop and ice cream and cookies and chips and...

    And this is why I never ever want a gym partner. That and I get pretty annoyed when there are two people yacking next to me on the treadmill.

    100% agree with this!

    Ah, well that makes sense. Start date has always been included on my offer letters. And, I always say, um I need more time. LOL
    I will never ever again go straight from one job to the next without taking some time off between. Of course, the last 3 job changes, I've moved several hundred miles. That is not fun when you don't have some time in between moves.

    We don't talk much when we're working out, that drives me crazy too! Usually we're too out of breath to hold much of a conversation anyway lol. I may mention to her tonight that I might start heading in early to do some cardio beforehand.

    Because my family sucks sometimes lol

    My daughter, whom oddly enough is the one that causes me the most stress by far, normally does good for Mothers Day, like yesterday,.....she doesn't have any money really right now cuz she just finished her Uni year and started work today, but she made me a nice homemade card and put 10 little hearts with vouchers in it for things like foot rubs, laundry service, baked goods etc. I LOVED it.

    My son, who is 17, and I still get up nearly every morning to see him off to school, and cook HOT food for him at 7am.....plus because he works a LOT and goes to school full time, plus other things, I do a lot for him that kid's his age do on their own like laundry and I always make sure there is hot food for him before/after work/school etc. He, got me a piece of cheese cake he brought home from his work late last night. I was upset that he did not get me a card mostly, because I feel his gifts are never heartfelt, and I have told him this before. His reply is "Well, you know I love you." I do not doubt he does, and he is a great kid, like seriously, my friends tell me all the time they would love a kid like him, he is hard working (and a good saver, which is odd for a kid his age, he has been working since he was 9 and routinely lends his sister money cuz she is terrible.....we always joke that by the time he is done Uni he will have saved enough money to buy a small island), he is a great student, and I never have to ground him or anything, like literally never. But it is upsetting to me that he could not take the time to write me a card.

    My SO, is the WORST out of the group. We have the same argument nearly every year. Again, I will say overall, my SO is wonderful. We almost never fight and he is very good about doing nearly all the cooking and cleaning when he is here (which is only on weekends, and not every one), never once has he ever yelled at me, called me a name, or said something nasty to me. He is loving and affectionate, and a great handy man, does everything from household repairs to hand washing laundry and sewing. However, I am lucky to get "Happy Mothers Day" said to me, or any holiday really. Some years I have gotten small gifts, and to be quite frank, most of them sucked, like he does not know me at all. But it is not about the money, I would be happy with a card, again, and a small token like a movie ticket or something. The worst part is, like I said, we go over this every single year, and it's like by the next time, it never crosses his mind again.

    Then I go to work the next day, and 500 people will say things like "Oh, I bet your family spoiled you", or talking about what their families did. Yes, yes I was spoiled, I got a piece of cheesecake :|

    It is just disappointing that they never learn how I feel. Like I have said in other posts, my mother was a huge *kitten*, so I try really hard to be a good mother, and it hurts my feelings because I feel like they do not care.

    End of rant!

    Well it sounds like you have a fantastic family and I know you are proud of them and they love you! Given the way your mother treated you I can see how it is important to you that your children value you as a good mother. I fully believe that they do; they may just express it differently than you'd like. My kids are somewhat the same way. My youngest son would prefer to buy me something he cannot afford than just give me a card, so I can relate to that. At least your son is good with money!

    As far as your SO, what was his past like as far as holidays? I was raised in a religion that did not celebrate holidays. When my current husband and I got married 15 years ago it took a LOT of work and focus on my part to remember all the holidays and traditions and expectations, etc. I'm still not very good at it! But, they know my past and they understand. Some people just don't like set days where you're obligated to acknowledge someone. IDK. Just throwing ideas out there. I appreciate the explanation and response!

    I confess that I love Pinterest. I haven't spent a lot of time on it lately but I used to try a new recipe every week or 2. Also, I got lots of cute ideas for my daughters bdays parties. Her 1st was a Dr Seuss theme and 2nd was Sesame Street. Sesame Street is everywhere but I found lots of great ideas for the Dr Seuss party.

    I don't know if you meant to but I am going to take that as an Aragorn reference and I kinda love you for it.

    I confess that I already have 2 cats who don't like eachother and despite this I'm agonising over taking a kitten a friend has just found abandoned.

    Maybe the kitten will be the "mediator" and help the other 2 get along??? Or maybe the other 2 will bond over caring for the kitten? Crazy ideas, I know. Just hoping the kitten gets a good home.

    @Italian_Buju My mom did my laundry for me today(I did not ask her to and had every intention of doing it myself). So I plan on making her breakfast when I get home. She didn't really get spoiled on Mother's Day either and later this week has to head up to Dallas to take care of my cousin Sherry who is on her third battle with breast cancer.

    I know she feels very unappreciated but I make an effort to show her I love her and I make her coffee every morning as soon as I get home. She always asks me, "Why don't you change out of your clothes first?"
    She is more important and a few coffee stains only add authenticity to the security uniform anyway. :wink:

    Side note: [expletive] Cancer!

    I'm sorry about your cousin! Hope she can fight this round as well. That's very nice of you - I'm sure your mother appreciates it.

    I used my barcode scanner yesterday on my iPhone and it worked. Was it broken before?

    I'm on Android and it hasn't been working for my phone for YEARS. I'm very salty about that cuz it's so much simpler to scan and add than to search through 200 variations of skinless, boneless chicken breast for an entry that fits.

    Hmmm, what we need is less pointless celebrities like that Jenner woman and those Kardashian folk and a ton more scientists. You know, the folk that invented every aspect of our modern lives that we completely take for granted. Heating, electricity, medicine and sanitation. The people who made it possible for us to communicate instantaneously with people on the other end of the globe.

    It's a weird thing I've noticed recently, the general vilification of scientists and doctors. Hopefully it's just a media phase that'll quickly dissipate.

    Not sure if I'll regret saying this, but I believe that if our doctors and scientists and others who are beneficial to society made as much money as the "celebrities" do there would be more of them. I hate that celebrities, movie stars, musicians, etc. make SO much more money than teachers, caregivers, and anyone who helps others. Why aspire to be a teacher and make an "okay" living when you can be rich and famous??? (not to single out teachers only; just using it as an example)

    LOL! Well, that did not work for me. I had 3 cats. The calico hated the Siamese. They mostly avoid one another. So, we got a kitten a few years ago. The calico now hates that cat. My daughter took the one cat with her that all of the other cats get along with. LOL So, now the calico is stuck living with two cats that she hates. It's quite the conundrum. Luckily, there are very few cat fights.

    I agree. I hate that athletes and celebrities make millions of dollars. Look at that boxing match a couple weekends ago. Mayweather got what? 180 MILLION DOLLARS?! That money could've been used for so many other, more worthwhile things.

    If the Kardashians could disappear off the face of the planet I'd be very pleased. They can take Kanye with them.

    Also, I heard this morning that a Picasso painting was auctioned off for $180 million. That's absurd! It makes me feel kind of sick thinking of what could be done with that kind of money.

    Confession: I haven't ran or worked out in 2 weeks. I have no idea why I don't care about anything lately, but I really need to pull it together.

    I like the idea of Pinterest. I have pinned some recipes that I use from time to time. But, when I'm on Facebook on my phone and somebody posts a recipe, I want to "pin" it so I can try it later, but that function doesn't work at all. Useless. And, I don't really like the way it's organized either. I don't understand how people say they can waste "hours" on it.

    Same as me, I have a couple friends that love it and spend all kinds of time on it. I do not think I have spent more than ten mins at a time, and that is usually looking for something to cook!
