Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))
Replies

I have to confess that although I've been feeling this way for a while now (not sure why) I lost all interest in continuing to work at my current job yesterday while talking to the owner of my company. It's not even that I want a DIFFERENT job, I just don't want to work. at all. period. Honestly, if it weren't for the benefits I get (really inexpensive insurance, 2 weeks of vacation, 3 sick/personal days, free fitness center, and a pretty decent wage), I would quit and be a SAHM even though my daughter is 13.
Brings to mind this scene from Office Space:
On what he'd do if he had a million dollars:
Peter: "I would relax...I would sit on my @ss all day...I would do nothing."
Lawrence: "Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do *kitten*!"

And also considered changing my name when I got my US citizenship a year ago... just decided against it because I didn't want more paperwork.
Even though I had a popular name, I named my kids traditional names. I tried not to give them a top 10 name like mine, but I did choose regular names with regular spellings. I 100% don't judge what other parents do. I feel like I have to say that. Not judgmental!
Also, I don't plan to change my last name since being married. My oldest has my last name and I feel like it would be pretty crappy to leave him as the only one with that name. Also, I don't care about that particular tradition and my husband doesn't care either. We know we are married.
My husband would love if I change mine, but I've had this last name for 43 years. The different last name is just not me.
If that makes sense.
It makes sense to me!
My wife kept her last name too. Makes sense, that's who I fell in love with!

I read your profile when I was on the computer and didn't send you one because you said you had enough.
I kind of forgot to take that part off after removing several friends who either stopped logging or weren't a good fit (nothing personal, just didn't really relate to them). I keep a small list so I can give everyone individual support rather than just a bunch of likes. You're welcome to add me.
I love your new pic! I am so far behind been enjoying my 2 days off. This might take me hours to catch up!0 -

Anyhow, she finally left last night. And this morning, the first thing I did when I woke up? I went to the bathroom to pee and yelled out to my husband (who was still in bed, trying to sleep), "HEY, HUSBAND! LOOK AT ME, I'M PEEING WITH THE DOOR OPEN! JUST BECAUSE I CAN! HA. TAKE THAT, [PERSON]!"
I may be a little strange... My husband definitely thinks so.
Funny! I pee with the door open ONLY when I'm home alone.
Me too. But I might have done exactly as @Susieq_1994 did, just to make a point. I would hate to have another person (except the SO) living in my home.
Sometimes I don't even like having the door open when I'm home alone because the dogs stare at me. I think they're jealous that I get to go potty indoors and they can't.
Oh yes this! If I don't close the door so it latches Wilbur will push it in and then *kitten* his head and look at me all funny like "How come you're doing that inside?"
Aw I love when dogs do that! They turn their heads and their ears perk up kind like in a "huh?!" Way. I want a puppy so bad
How come you can't have one? Waiting to resolve your Ohio vs England living dilemma?
That's kind of part of it but the main reason is I work 7 to 4 and then go to the gym so I don't get home until around 6:30 and at that point I just want a shower, dinner, my couch, and Netflix! Plus my apartment is the size of a shoe box so not only would I feel bad leaving a dog home alone all day but it would seriously have no where to go! One day I will have one!
This is why I don't have a dog. I leave so early, then work long hours then go to barn. I really want a dog. But it would be unfair to them. So I have cats...lots of cats. 0 -

I had a family who was having a lot of kids. One time they had twin girls. In the Sims when you have twins, sometimes the family will put one of the babies down on the floor as they prepare to welcome the second baby. They put the first baby on the floor, alright, and no matter what I tried I couldn't get anyone to pick it up. It became stuck there, like a piece of furniture. While all the kids grew up and moved out, and the parents became grandparents (and eventually died), the baby remained on the floor... just looking around contentedly. It didn't die and it didn't age.
....
That is SO weird. One of my characters developed a glitch, and every few seconds she would lift her arm into newborn-holding position. It looked like she had some kind of weird muscle spasm problem...
I liked how you could get male Sims impregnated if they were abducted by aliens. It must be extremely painful for a man to give birth to a baby, but they were always so delighted with their little green-skinned alien child, cooing over them and whatnot. (Unless they weren't family Sims, of course... poor kid).
I had no idea there were aliens. There are a lot of expansion packs I didn't realize existed!
This all sounds nuts. Sorry.0 -

I brought up the stepdaughter thing with my husband yesterday because we haven't seen or heard from her since she graced us with her presence Monday, and it did not go well. I think I might be PMSing because I lost it. I yelled, said things I shouldn't have, then cried afterward. I felt bad because I started in on him basically as soon as he walked in the door. He told me he should have just stayed at work. I hate it when he says that.
Anyway, after both of us calmed down, he said that I need to let him handle things his way but he is going to talk to her. I will not be a part of that conversation which is best for everyone. He expressed that he doesn't feel like she's taking advantage of us because he's her dad and he would do the same for Rachael. He also said this is NOT how he pictured a life with her and he's very upset (sad) that she doesn't want to be in our circle (I laughed a little when he described our family as a circle).
I appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers because I don't want this to put a strain on our marriage especially when we leave for Florida in 15 days and we're getting ready to celebrate 15 years of marriage.
On a positive note, if I'm PMSing this early, that means my period is coming soon and I'll be done before my trip.
I hope he does talk to her and it all works out for your family! Is Rachael going on vacation with you and hubby?
Um, no. This is really like a belated honeymoon since we didn't have one the first time around. She's pretty peeved about not going, but I told her that I've waited 15 years for this so she'll just have to get over it. She's going later in July with my mom anyway, so it's not like she's not going to miss out. Really, the only things she'll miss out on are our incessant make out sessions, hand holding, and occasional (probably more on his part) butt grabbing/patting. I'm sure she's not at all sad about missing out on those things.
I hope things work out too because we REALLY do want her to be a part of our circle.
We got married last March - honeymoon was Maui in April. We were the only old people constantly making out in the pool at our resort. We had a very quiet beach at night. Let me just tell you this - sand doesn't give as much as you may think. Sex on the beach wasn't nearly as much fun as I thought it was going to be.
It really isn't
OMG reminded me - in the Bahamas last week, hubby was snorkeling and snorkeled right up on a couple having sex in the water! LOL!
Ahahahahaha! Whoops. Who was more embarrassed, him, or them?
ETA: That won't be happening either.
Oh come on you have all those great bikinis! Go for it!0 -

I have a Playstation 2 with the first or second Sims, and I still play it sometimes. I have Sims 3 for XBox 360, but sometimes I prefer the old one with it's simplicity. I don't like to game on my computer because I already feel like I'm on it too much and a time suck like Sims would just really put it over the top. I'm trying to cut back. I'm sure you can tell by the various times of day I post in this thread that I'm failing so far 0

I don't plan on finding out. I'm a bit of a prude, so no hanky panky for us outside our room and most likely on the bed only. I'm quite boring. My poor, poor husband.

I bought a bottle of Frank's last week and already it's almost gone. Frank's hot sauce isn't very spicy at all (I could probaby drink the whole bottle and not get much of a burn) but it's DELICIOUS to me. It just tastes so good. I've been pouring it onto a spoon and eating it on its own
I told my mom that I had bought some and she said ''Awww man, we brought you up two bottles!'' So now I have a lot of Frank's... it'll be gone soon enough
I love hot sauce too! I use apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, and Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb spice as my salad dressing every day. And hot sauce goes on pretty much everything else too! I use a bottle of it every week...just for myself.
Yes, same! I pair my salad with that "dressing", an egg white/cheese pita sandwich, and raw veggies dipped in spicy mustard for my lunch every day and it's 190-220 calories (depending on which/how much veggies I have) and keeps me full!!! Love it.
I would probably get eaten for ever daring to promote a cauliflower substitution for ANYTHING in the main forums, but what's probably my most favorite meal on the planet right now is mixed fried cauliflower "rice". It's the only thing I've ever tasted in which cauliflower actually tastes like/has the texture of the real thing, and I can eat a bowl the size of my head for less than 400 calories. I'm seriously in love with it. It is SO GOOD. *drool*
Yeah... I made some. Ate the whole thing (seriously, a whole cauliflower plus all the toppings etc). I managed to make myself sick of it after one attempt. Go me.
Still love cauliflower but nope that way anymore LOL.
Trying to catch up... you all have been busy. I went to see Jurassic World instead of working out. Then got home, made myself a huge salad... and had 3 cookies and 2 squares of chocolate. Should still be within my calories though (there's a school party with food trucks tonight but I'm having dinner before going, I don't need a 1200 calories meal).
I have made a curry cauliflower dish for years but I have not made it for while. I'm going to have to fix that problem soon.
Recipe? Pretty please?
Has anyone else been getting randomly added by people you've never interacted with in the forums or anywhere? I find it annoying, especially because my profile is designed to avert friend-collecting friend requests. They don't even bother to leave a message with the request, which means they probably didn't even read my profile... So why add me at all? :-/
Yes. I have nothing other than my age, that I'm female and a quote on my profile. I don't log food and I don't interact with too many people other than this thread. It's weird that it's happening to a lot of us though, isn't it?
I think the only thing on mine is my age and where I live. I never filled anything out. I never send friend requests. I don't want to get rejected.0 -

I like it better than the poison because I don't worry about it getting on me (don't inhale it though, or let your pets inhale it - glass shards in lungs is not good). Last year and this year I had ant problems, put a line of it where it looked like their home was (so they walk through it and take the little shards down into the nest to kill everyone off) and they were gone in a day. I then wash away the powder so I don't have to worry about my dog deciding to sniff it.
This is the best stuff! It is actually not harmful to dogs or people. Only insects or germs? Parasites? I use it on my horses feet to ward off thrush and people feed it to horses. I highly recommend it.0 -

Yeah mine only had vanilla left and not that many of them. Need someone else to try it so I don't feel crazy, people are laughing at me for saying that I like it in the ice cream group!Update on the biopsy, they got the results really fast... and there is no cancer - no concerns! WooHoo! Now time for my weekend to begin.
Awesome! Enjoy your week end!
Confession - proud of myself for sticking to my deficit 5 days in a row. Tonight was the kids' school party and there were food trucks and I didn't even eat anything... while everyone else had pizza and water ice. I had dinner before we went like a good dieting person (and it was delicious, so there).
Still want to punch people who say that I'm using PMS as an excuse to eat more in the face though... because it's funny how I always get so hungry the 10 days before my period every single month, while it's so easy to resist temptation the rest of the time. Sadly it means I probably only have two more weeks tops before it starts again... it might happen during my vacation though and that would really suck, because it's going to be hard to just fill up on veggies then. Really dreading it.
Last confession - husband wants me to start reading with the kids at bedtime with him. I said no. Yes, #momoftheyear again, but frankly, by the time they go to bed I am SO DONE and I'm just going to lose it if I have to do that on top of the rest... Nope, nope, nope. His job. Besides, they're 7, and I really hope they start reading on their own soon.0 -

can you PLEASE share your cookie recipe? every time i try to make them, they end up paper thin with the chips just sticking up. it's depressing...
The secret behind fat cookies is the creaming part. Most people (including me, until I learned better) cream the heck out of the butter and sugars with a stand mixer or whisk, incorporating so much air that the cookies end up collapsing on themselves. I no longer use a whisk--I basically smash the butter and sugars together using a spoon, and ALWAYS err on the side of less beating when you can. You'll get awesome cookies every time. Here's my recipe, though:
155g all purpose flour
2.5g (0.5 tsp) baking soda
Sprinkle of salt (around 2g)
100g butter, softened to room temperature (I always use slightly salted, even in recipes that contain salt. I love the flavor depth that the salt brings out.)
82g brown sugar (I use the dark one, again for extra flavor)
5mL (1 tsp) vanilla flavoring
25g granulated white sugar
1 large egg (~55g)
150g semi sweet or milk chocolate chips (I tend to use a mix of both)
1) Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Mix together and set aside.
2) Smash the butter into the sugars with a metal spoon. Mix only until combined.
3) Add the vanilla and the egg. If needed, use a whisk to mix in the egg, but mix as little as needed to combine--be very careful at this point to not overmix and incorporate much air into the dough.
4) Dump in the flour mixture and the chocolate chips, all at once. Stir slowly with a spoon until everything comes together. The dough will be dense and thick.
5) Drop in round balls (around 32g each) onto a cookie sheet covered in baking paper/parchment paper. Chill the cookie sheet in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, then place in a 350 degree (Fahrenheit) oven for 11-12 minutes.
This recipe makes 16 generously sized cookies at 160ish calories each.
Gosh, I actually just typed all that out on my phone. How exhausting. If MFP eats this post, I'm going to just die!0 -
I'm learning. I was trying to post dog pictures but I'll post one of my hair. I think I officially have waist length hair finally. I change the length and style quite a bit but I've been enjoying it long so I let it grow. I've never been this long or even close before. Now I'm going in for a trim next week as it has been six months since the last time I had it trimmed. I didn't think it could get this long but it did! I had it in a very short bob in 2011. Edit to add, I didn't have or could not access dog pictures here on this ipad.
confession. I'm ridiculously pleased with myself over my hair growing. I But I have little control over my nails. Brittle and dry and break easily so I have to wear them short.
I guess I could add something weight related. I have maintained a 50+ pound weight loss for more than 12 years.0 -

ok Whahooo I did it. It took both an iphone and an ipad to get it to work but it seems like it worked. I am still inept with this but I can learn. Yay!
So the black poodle is 10.5 years and named Sorcha.
The dog of unknown origin is 6 or 7 and is our squishy Bruno.
They are both super sweet people and dog friendly dogs.0 -
my secret is that I think I'm the only female in the world who doesn't need the "D" and who is not lesbian0
