We keep bees on our property and it's pretty awesome. We had a nice honey harvest last year with 4 hives, so we expanded to 8 this year. They're all pretty active; so far, so good!
I would love to have goats! And chickens!
How could one not?! -- they're incredible!

Plus, fig wasps are the only fig pollinators out there. That alone is enough to for wasps to be alright in my book.
To add, he finds it funny too, and laughs at it as well. Just so I'm not sounding like an wife lol.
I can't do spiders. Period. I took kiddo and nephew to the zoo last week and there was a tarantula on exhibit. Naturally, both kids wanted to see it, I had a panic attack! It can be embarrassing, but not as much as my catfish phobia (and I mean the actual fish) lol.
You should see me at the lake. I am constantly moving my legs, and if something brushes against me I run to the shore so fast... I'm terrified of fish touching me. Any fish.
So I'm not the only one! I had to write an essay about classical conditioning and phobias in psychology once and I wrote about my catfish phobia. My professor actually told me later he had never heard of that before and thought it funny, but unique haha!
I have a really strange, but also extremely severe phobia that I'm almost sure nobody else shares, but I'll never ever admit to it in this thread. Very few people even know about it, maybe 4-5 including my sister and husband. :-/
It took me a while to finally feel comfortable enough to admit it, but now I just embrace it as one of my many quirks. Anyone who goes fishing with me knows that if they catch a catfish to keep it away from me, and I will not look at it. I don't care if it's the size of a toddler, I don't want to see it! Lol!
Another confession: I've been particularly and irrationally ragey today. I'm going to chalk it up to PMS, although Aunt Flo is now 2 days late.
I've been taking my bitchiness out on those idiotic posts in the forums, just so I don't accidentally take it out on my hubby or kid. I remember once I lost it and screamed at her to "sit the *kitten* down and shut the *kitten* up" and immediately regretted it, and still do. I held her, apologized profusely, and cried for a solid hour afterwards. I seriously need to be on medication again, for my mental issues and I need to see a doctor anyway because we're 99.9% sure I have ADD, but I've never been tested or looked into it. It's messing with my marriage, but it's like no matter what I do, I can't focus on anything! I have lists posted up on every single room in my house to remind me of what housework needs to be done on a specific day, yet I get distracted and forget what I'm supposed to be doing and then we're fighting. No joke, we fight every. single. damned. day. about the same damned thing. I'm afraid it's going to completely ruin my marriage, and I don't want that to happen! 
Aw I'm sorry don't cry! I'm not married and I'm horribly awful at relationships but I hope things get better and improve for you- hugs your way!
Thank you! I've just got to actually make the appointment, which I will be tomorrow. 0 -

Catfish are kind of creepy looking. I have at least one other friend who is a nut about fish touching her, and it looks like there is someone else on this thread too so I guess it's not that out there haha. At least fish are fairly easy to avoid!
Very true lol! Have you ever heard the "grunting" sound a catfish makes when it's out of the water? *shudders* That sound makes me freak out, and hubby used to make that noise on purpose just to see me freak out. He stopped after he got tired of being slapped and cussed out every time lol.
I have to admit that I had no idea catfish made a grunting noise. I'm pretty glad that I've gone so far without hearing it haha.
It's horrible! If I hear it I start panicking!0 -

I know things like this get better with time, but right now it feels like my heart has been ripped out and stomped and I don't know how I will ever recover...
R.I.P. little rodent boy
I am so sorry

What value does this thread bring to General Diet and Weight Loss Help that warrants a sticky status? If page count is a factor, there are plenty of "who wants to see who naked" discussions in Chit Chat that are probably more worthy than this.-3

I think it has value. There are a lot of supportive people in here, and asking questions that may seem "dumb" isn't as scary, because no one in here is going to rip you a new one or post sarcastic gifs at you.

And you're posting this why? I have to agree with @tubbs216 that no one here nominated it as majority of us probably haven't a clue how to do so, even if we thought it was warranted. It's a helpful nonjudgmental thread that we enjoy and that's all that matters.0 -

Ok, serious answer, after thinking about it a little. Honestly, I believe this thread alone has kept a bunch of us here on MFP - people who may have wandered off, lost their motivation, felt intimidated to ask questions, or unsupported elsewhere. If one person improves their health and wellness by being part of this thread, then, yes, it warrants sticky status.mantium999 wrote: »What value does this thread bring to General Diet and Weight Loss Help that warrants a sticky status?

Confession: Honestly, I'm not happy with the thread being stickied. We'll very likely get an influx of sarcastic, unkind, or snarky people ruining our nice thread mojo. *sniffle* 0

^^^ I agree- take it off and leave us be!! It's not our fault a lot of people lurking probably love it because we don't judge whatsoever.0

I don't see it as stickied...0

I have no problem with the existence of this thread. I just stand by the belief that suggested reading (ie, stickies), should be educational and pertain to the topic of the forum. As far as fun items to give people a reason to return to the site, that's what Chit Chat is for. But that's just me, don't let me rain on your parade. Obviously this thread is popular, just not informative.0 -
I'd be sad to leave this original thread behind, but count me in, too!

Last week a couple friends and i had a girl's night, we went to in-n-out for milkshakes and fries. Immediately after we drove across the street to tacobell for nachos and crunchwraps. We were giggling like schoolgirls the whole time (tacobell staff must of thought we were stoned lol). The adventure was totally out of character for all of us...we are very clean eaters and self identify as health nuts. Everyone need a guilty pleasure day once in a while. I regret nothing!0

Oh but that's ok. Nobody reads that
Confession - going to the Cheesecake Factory tomorrow. I'm honestly not sure how good my willpower is going to be when it's dessert time (and I know that my mom will be having cheesecake).
I had finally made up for Tuesday's PMS binge too.0 -
