I think that's possibly the most appropriate translation of a phrase I've ever heard haha@KrisiAnnH, good luck on the job interview and I LOVE your hair color!
@MoHousdon that is one awesome truck - thanks for the pictures!
I think this every time she posts. Thanks for saying it for me.
You're welcome for the pictures. It is a pretty sweet ride.
Aww thank you so much that's made my day! It's faded a bit now but I'm dying it brighter in the hopes I stand out in the interview and they'll remember me 
haha
@kelly_c_77 @spacequiztime @Tubbs216 @LBuehrle8 Awh thanks everyone! Haven't had a job interview in about a year, but I'm going to keep thinking of this thread and the super great shark while I'm there to get rid of nerves, hahaspacequiztime wrote: » @lbuehler89 And only a few months to go!
My only experience with unfrosted Pop Tarts comes from when I was younger. Frosted strawberry was the only flavor she'd buy because the others were too "unhealthy". Her restrictions completely turned me off strawberry Pop Tarts all together. I do want to try brown sugar cinnamon though.
I don't think I'm having any issues with the thread.
I really wish we had pop tarts over here in the UK! I mean we have the standard strawberry and chocolate I think, but because I live in an area that is about 20 years behind the rest of the country they're pretty hard to come by haha. Brown sugar cinnamon sounds so good!
We have the cinnamon & brown sugar in Oman, but not in Saudi. It's amazing. Probably my favorite flavor! I haven't tasted a huge amount of flavors myself, though--we only get untrusted strawberry and unfrosted blueberry here in Saudi, and about five or six different flavors in Oman. 0 -

Visit your biggest Tesco store and hunt down the 'World Foods' Isle. Today I saw s'more flavour, Oreo flavour and I may or may not have bought mixed berry flavour. I've also seen confetti flavour and double chocolate plus many other flavours. I also saw mint Oreos today and it took every effort not to buy them.0 -
Kiddo and I are having pizza for dinner tonight. Hello, thin crust light sauce cheese pizza from Pizza Hut! I have 3 slices and a salad prelogged but we'll see how I feel lol.0

@FroggyBug I think understanding both sides and recognising your own faults in a relationship is good, and can help you to move on if that's what you choose to do, and in a way that doesn't leave you holding something over your partner indefinitely as was mentioned by someone else.
However, I really don't think you are the problem in your relationship from everything you've said. You seem awesome and he doesn't seem to appreciate that.0 -
Quit holding out.... we need some photos! Seriously wanna see this ride. And please tell me it has at least a 350ci in it.
Here ya go. This is from a car show my church sponsored.
This is a better shot of the ghost flames.
It has a 305 in it. It had an 8 cylinder in it, but he swapped it out to improve gas mileage since it's his daily driver. He also has a 73 that has a 454 in it, but he doesn't drive it.
That's a great looking truck, if I didn't live 25 miles from work or gas was cheap again I'd totally buy a 50's era Dodge Power Wagon to commute. Love the old iron, pretty sure I was born 3 decades too late.

At times I want to start an Anti- Starvation Mode thread. Just to explain why it is false. Why, from an evolutionary standpoint, it makes no sense. Why, if it were true, none of us would be here because our starving yet chubby, muscle-less ancestors would not have been able to find, catch/kill or pick the food when it suddenly became available again. They all would have been sitting around the fire looking at the cave paintings, complaining about their fat thighs and wishing they had the strength to stand until they died.
End of Rant.
Do it, do it, do it! Maybe post it on Friday!0 -

then i started to fishtail on the four lane highway, and i completely can't pull out of it, totally lose control, the car does a full 360 spin across the two lanes of oncoming traffic and i bounce off of the opposing guardrail.
by some tiny miracle, no one was coming when i crossed lanes. if anyone had been, i probably would have killed them and myself. so i'm on the wrong side of the road facing the wrong direction. see no one coming at me head on, and drive back over to the right side of the road to a stoplight. this dude pulls up in the lane next to me and is like ARE YOU OK?!?!! i'm all shaky and say yeah, i think so. light turns green and i drive on to the theater like everything is fine.
i meet up with my mom and i'm like, i think i might have just almost died, and explain the whole thing to her and she's like... well maybe you should slow the hell down. and i say no, this was REALLY scary, and she's just like yeah, i've done it before too. slow down.
thanks mom!
confession: my mother's total lack of empathy and concern really ticks me off sometimes....
I confess I might be a lot like your mom.
THANK YOU! Not to be mean to @KylerJaye at ALL, but I seriously lack empathy. My youngest son is a drama queen, so if you ask him I'm the worst person EVER. He over-dramatizes everything and I'm more of the "suck it up, buttercup!" kind of mom. His dad would take him to the ER when he was little over a bloody nose and I, on the other hand, when he called me in the middle of the night after totaling his truck told him to just drive home.
In my defense, I'm completely out of it if I'm woken up abruptly and incoherent. Of course, I woke up more and realized what happened and went and got him, but yeah, that's what he's had to deal with. Sorry, child!
My husband has serious back issues at times, but is also a wimp when it comes to pain. One time he needed me to help him out of bed and called me into the bedroom FOUR separate times saying he was going to get up, but then couldn't do it. Finally, I told him, "It's like ripping off a Band-Aid - just get up already!" Epic lack of empathy.
OMG, me too. My husband is a worst case scenario expert so every sniffle most certainly means ebola. He was pretty sure my insect bite was Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, too.
It's exhausting. I just roll my eyes as discreetly as I can and tell him to go to the doctor.
My sister's house has a bunch of these bugs that look like Ticks that are called Weevils. They said in PA that we're one of the top states for tick screenings this season.

Confession: I'm seriously considering the intermittent fasting diet. I'm clearly not getting anywhere with the old fashioned calorie counting and I'm actually getting quite desperate now. I want to book a doctors appointment but I think they will say the same thing as my mum "Why don't you join weight watchers or slimming world" Yea, I don't want to pay someone to watch me stand on a scale.
I'm also considering taking all the money I have saved for a deposit on a house and getting someone to just suck all the fat out of me.
It's all feeling very hopeless at the moment What is your current routine? Have you thought of changing it up to do some Crossfit or weight training, cycling 
.... or anything HIIT to really kick it up a notch?
Also, I would seriously consider taking measurements and use that as a base for comparison rather than a number on the scale. Heck I don't even measure. Once every 2 weeks I gauge myself by trying on clothes I know are too small. Regardless what action you take, good luck.
Uh, training is
Sunday - 60min swimming
Monday - strong lifts at lunch & 30min jog/walk
Tuesday - 45 min swimming
Wednesday - strong lifts & jog/walk
Thursday - 45min swimming
Friday - strong lifts & jog/walk
Saturday - maybe a jog/walk if I feel like it.
I do measure, but every 100 days. I'm due one in 30days lol I find it disappointing if it is any sooner
Edit: my jog/walk is after work, before dinner. Not straight after strong lifts. I think I would die if it was straight after
Well hmmmm... that's certainly a strong routine. what's your daily net calorie intake?0 -

Oooh mint oreos sound amazing! Yeah we don't really do 'big' supermarkets in Cornwall, or at least not near me haha. We have 2 Tescos within walking distance but they're both metro/express, I know they have some pop tarts though so maybe I'll be in luck and they'll expand their options!Susieq_1994 wrote: »LadyAbsynthe wrote: »Just dropping by to say that there's a german word that means the extra weight gained from emotional eating, and it literally means "grief bacon."

I've only ever had the strawberry ones I think, and there's no unfrosted options near me haha. It's probably for the best we dont have much choice though, I'm not sure my calorie allowance could take my sweet tooth if we had pop tarts in the house!0 -

If you have a b&m near you, they have all sorts of flavour poptarts. I may have tried some

@Lois_1989 Yup, pretty much. PG rating scale, you could say. It is a no-no to swear in Islam, but my personal phobia has nothing to do with that and everything to do with my home life growing up, unfortunately. I can't even read most books because of it, even though I love to read. I end up reading a lot more of Enid Blyton than you might expect from someone my age. :-/
@Francl27 I confess that I deleted you a while back for that exact reason, so I'm really glad you aren't offended.
@Glinda1971 For some reason you struck me that way, and I wasn't particularly anxious when accepting your friend request--I'm not sure why.
I confess... I feel a lot better now.
I admit my nerves get shot a lot of Wal-Mart when I am at Service Desk & people are either yelling at me or yelling at another associate about something trivial.0 -
FUNKY CONFESSION:
Earlier today, after scrolling to the end of an online news article, there was an ad for a medication I'd never heard of... and one which I wouldn't be paying attention to... except -- immediately prior to closing the browser window, my eyes happened to catch a glimpse of a few of the words from the ad... and... once again, an inadvertent 'misread' was actioned by my mind...
...and thus...
...a risk of "hemiplegic migraine or basilar migraine..." suddenly became (albeit, courtesy of my mind misreading the barely viewed text) 'hemiplegic migraine or ballsier migraine" (?!) -- and then some goofy part of my brain began 'responding' to the preposterousness of such (after I initially heard the words "what?!" and "*no one* would say that in a drug's 'warning' text!" fly through my mind)... and I suddenly found myself thought-'saying', "...ballsier migraine?! -- wth could be 'ballsier' than a frickin' hemiplegic migraine -- ?!! -- what with its involving stroke-like symptoms that can include paralysis for weeks -- ?!!!"... and after the split-second 'misread', and knowing that the word *had* to have been something else entirely, I subsequently learned (in conjunction with a quick search) what a basilar migraine was...
...and so... should my newfound knowledge of basilar migraine happen to ever come in handy, and result in someone wondering where or why I'd learned about such... I can now tell them (and truthfully!) that I learned about basilar migraine due to my knowing that "ballsier migraine" could not possibly be a legitimate clinical term...(!) 0 -

Confession - it's not even 9am on the second day of Summer break and I already want to lock my kids in their rooms.
Any summer programs you can put them in like vacation bible school or any programs at the YMCA or other local rec centers? Also, check with your county for summer programs. Some are very cheap or free. For sanity's sake, it's worth a shot. lol
They have 2 camps this year but it's at the end of July and mid August. Didn't want to spend a fortune. We're going in vacations in 10 days anyway. I just wish they would stop bickering.
Oh I see... well until then, might I suggest something like this?
j/k

Or this LMAO!

*cough* not good *cough*
Can't bring myself. To eat the majority of my hard work back.
Although confession time, I don't log my protein shake after stronglifts.
Edit: and I think my pedometer gives me more calories than I deserve, for example today it has given me 471 calories, but in reality it was only about 200 calories for my swim0 -
I had an affair on my diet this am. I was at the McDonald's drive thru and asked if they had cookies, nope but they could put some in for me...um hot out of the oven McDonald choc chip cookies...holy mother of words I can't describe. I've never had an affair but if its anything as hot and delish as that, I may have to rethink my lifestyle.
I never knew McDonalds had cookies.0
