@Lois_1989 I'm so sorry about your puppy
She was beautiful and I'm sure she's up in doggy heaven watching out for you! 
(Yes I'm a child and really do believe all dogs go to heaven, do not burst my bubble for me people!)
Of course they do. All animals do. It's only people that are in question.0 -
That's terrible! I can't believe someone higher up hasn't noticed this. Sorry, that really sucks
The higher ups are the ones doing the awarding. It's all a game. But I am still sad. If I knew how to keep my mouth shut and kiss up I would be far more successful. It's just not me.0 -
So, about a hundred years ago I may have mentioned that I wanted my husband to get a vasectomy. Well, it's happening and Monday's the day! I'm sure I'll be running around all day making him lots of tea and getting him fresh bags of frozen peas. I confess I'm rolling my eyes a bit though, since the latest surgery is needle-free and scalpel-free, and the doctor also prescribed him some valium as he mentioned that he's really squeamish and medical-phobic.
Oh dear. Well just remind him it's nothing compared to child birth. That should shut him up!0 -

Well I do like Tough Mudders but it's 12-13 miles. You go slow but still. And you are pretty beaten up by the end. Maybe a spartan race? Ironically I have a ad for one on MFP right now. The first one I did was at a local Air Force base. I'd look around for a smaller local race. And make sure you are ready for freezing cold water. Up to you thighs mud, climbing 10' high walls, jumping off cliffs into water, etc. tie your shoes on tight and have a blast. All obstacles are optional so you can easily skip.0 -

This just happened to me. The conference I am at they did recognition awards. The guy in my group that won got recognized for 2 projects I led. One was done before he came on board. The other he came in on the tail end and had zero to do with. I totally led them. This is like the 4th time over the years this has happened to me. No one in an operations driven organization ever appreciates marketing communications. But I PROJECT LED these. This guy is connected.
I confess as soon as the awards were over I grabbed my stuff, went to hotel, and am now drowning my sorrows by reading this thread.
I am feeling very sad.
That sucks. I wish I had some really wise words to cheer you up but all I got is that sucks.0 -
I am close to owning this page. Sorry guys.0

Yeah, I did kind of remind him that I did that three times, and that it was his turn to take one for the team.pofoster21 wrote: »

Yay! That sounds awesome! I'm a little jealous. My goal is to do a mud run or obstacle course in the fall but I don't have anyone to do it with me. I hurt my left shoulder a couple months ago and went to physical therapy for a bit and somehow hurt my right shoulder a week ago so no weights for awhile. Long story short...I'm afraid that I won't have the upper body strength for it. Ok I'm finished whining.
Does anyone have helpful hints for preparing for a mudder?
Ah I am going backwards again! Duct tape your shoes on. Bring gloves for crawling on rocks. Wear long tights or capris that cover your knees (again for crawling). Tie your hair back. Bring a great attitude and help your fellow racers and they will help you. It's a totally friendly, everyone helps everyone atmosphere.
Edited as its DUCT not DUCK tape.0 -

That is funny.

Perhaps not but I am not a big believer in coincidence. But luckily mixmode has promised to stick around and I haven't scared off xMrBunglex yet....
Nah, it wasn't you. I had to take a forum hiatus to attend to IRL stuff and by the time I came back, it was 1000 comments later and I just never picked back up in this thread. Those other guys, though...that was you!
Confession: I promised to catch up on all the missed posts in this thread and I am fully committed to breaking that promise. No regrets...y'all post too much!

I noticed it, but had absolutely no idea--I haven't eaten a waffle cone in YEARS. I totally want a waffle cone now. A chocolate dipped one.0 -

That really, really stinks. I'd feel so awful!! I'm sorry that you're feeling sad about it--that was a really nasty thing for them/him to do. I never knew that this kind of stuff could happen in a professional environment! 0 -
On a plane about to depart. I didn't intend in any way to prompt guilt over breastfeeding. I had an easy first child and a very complicated second child. We do our best with what we havpofoster21 wrote: »
The way I read this, I could never keep it straight trying to do everyone into one post. Especially when I miss a whole day or more...too much to catch up on. I can start to try and delete some stuff, etc. but it hard to parse through stuff and delete.
To be honest, I like the full quote, so as I read backwards, I know what I am looking for and can skip the originals if I already read it, or find the original I wanted to reply to and reply to it. I would rather not stop doing that.
Me too, the string of quotes is super helpful! What would be nice is for MFP to give a simple option for the reader to see the quotes or not with one button setting. [Hide quoted posts]/ [Show quoted posts]0 -

It's not a problem. And seriously I hate that I swear so much. This will help me work on it. I once read that to use profanity is the sign of an uneducated or unimaginative mind (or something like that) and it always bothered me. That I swore so much. So this is motivation! And we are good friends! So we will work on it together.
We'll do that! I'm sure you can improve if you set your mind to it. I've come a long way just by being able to stick with this thread--I'm trying hard at it because I don't want to live in a box forever, and I'll never have control over strange or new environments. Going to places like airports is over-the-top stressful, for example.
Being stuck with you guys isn't so bad, anyhow...
You're super great! 0 -

As of late, this thread has been 'populated' with a bevy of beautiful dogs (it's making me melt)...
...and I've always wondered what an Irish Setter/Lab mix might look like (they're two of my favorite breeds) -- so beautiful!
The best dog my parents ever had while I was growing up was a mostly lab / Irish Setter mix. He was a wonderful dog. Total strangers would offer to buy him on the spot. (not for sale). He had such heart and personality! He was black with the flags on his legs and tail that the setters have. He was 1/8 Setter (or so we were told, he was a pound puppy)0 -
The only two Irish Setters I ever knew were both beautiful but completely insane and uncontrollable. Is that a breed trait or were the two owners (quite normal, sensible people) just unlucky?0

I think all men are babies when they are sick...such drama queens...(sorry men of the thread)
Not my husband. He toughs out EVERYTHING, even when he's practically dying. No matter how awful he's feeling, he says he's okay. It should say something that the one time he EVER said he wasn't okay, he collapsed, became delirious, and fainted--and we ended up in the ER. His motto is always, "Pain doesn't matter. As long as it's (Whatever body part being referred to) functional, it's fine."
...He's pretty much crazy, but he's my rock. I can always depend on him to be there, even when he's sick or hurt. I really love that man. 0 -

Thanks! I will post pics of my redone bathroom tomorrow. Before and after. I almost didn't buy this condo because of how gross they were and then it took me 9 years to get around to redoing them. I just couldn't stand it anymore. I LOVE my new ones!
Very very nice! It may be a few years until I can afford to do mine, but I'm already planning. : )0 -

Oh poor thing. And he's going to have to 'clear the pipes' a lot after the surgery. POOR BABY! /end sarcasm
Men are kind of babies sometimes.... BUT congrats on convincing him to get it done!

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
HUGS. At the very least the doctor could check if there were something such as a thyroid issue. No one will force you to join weight watches (or whatever) if you don't want to join. More hugs!!0 -

I want one of THOSE! Where can I find one?
I mean my current guy is great so far(unless he has to go to the dentist), is there like a 'tough it out upgrade package' or something I can install?0 -
Confession: I was stupid enough to spend $75 on a corset and tried to waist train. Then I realized I liked breathing and stopped. I blame the kardashians0

@MoHousdon Your step-daughter will eventually realize how her actions affect other people but it may take a while. I am 26 and it has taken me this long to REALLY have it sink in, although, it did initially start when I was 17 in my senior year of high school.
Confession #1: It's that TOM and I have become an over eating, over emotional, train wreck. I didn't log everything I ate yesterday and I likely will not log ANYTHING today and I will just keep my workouts going and forgive myself later...
Confession #2: The emotional train wreck part, I have been taking my crazy emotions out on my boss(who I am dating, judge not!). I apologized to him via text and wasn't planning on seeing him until Tuesday(this morning) but I asked if I could come over today(still Monday in my mind) and he said he was good with it. I told him I was super sorry for being all 'woman crazy' as I call it and he thanked me for acknowledging how my overemotional tendencies affect him and, because I KNEW he would be so accepting about everything, I also bought him some apology beer.
Confession #3: I have never been with someone who is so considerate and accepting of my feelings before and it terrifies me
but at the same time makes me want to be a more considerate and accepting person too. 
@Susieq_1994 Every time I play 'catch up' on this thread, you are on the list of top posts I look for. When you are gone you are missed VERY much. Sometimes working on yourself is the best way to worship. So, if you have to, focus on yourself a little more than your prayers. I feel Allah will be grateful that you are taking the time to care for the body he so carefully molded for you so that you can better worship and serve him in the future. I'm sure he sees your struggle and knows you will come out better for it.
It can take awhile to get the crazy out of your system. Good for you for recognizing it and talking to your boyfriend. I don't know if it will work for you, but if you want to try it, journalling works wonders for me. I just write down all my crazy stuff and shred it (b/c I don't need proof that I'm crazy). Repeat as needed.0 -

Nope. Only Patty to family and people who knew me from WI (which is very few people at this stage). The trainer at the barn started calling me POF for short a long time ago and I am ok with that as it has no connotations. So feel free to call me that. Please anyone else with this name forgive me but:
patty = child
Pat = short, ugly, gender less
Trish = Trish the dish (trashy big chested girl from the show one day at a time)
Patsy = too cutesy
So Patricia it is. I really don't like the name but this is the closest I can tolerate. People in real life get offended when I insist they call me that which I find amazing. I know it's 3 syllables but tough. It's my name.
But from now on at the barn and here, I am POF.
So in my head I call you 'poof' - making a word out of your initials a la NASA. Is that correct or is it P O F, like FBI?0 -
Susieq_1994 wrote: »You guys (ladies?), I have something I need to confess to all of you (especially to all of those awesome people who added me as friends).
So, here's the thing: I wasn't ever planning to confess this in here, because I didn't want to offend anyone or make anyone feel guilty. A small part of me was also afraid that it would backfire and I would get taunted, but after knowing everyone for a while, I'm sure it wouldn't happen. I've honestly been sitting here in front of my screen for an hour, trying to get up the courage to confess this to everyone here, and as I type this I'm beginning to cry.
Basically, I have an extreme phobia of profanity of any kind--whether it's typed or verbally spoken. It triggers my anxiety and my FND in a really big way, and this is one of the reasons that sticking with this thread has been a huge challenge for me. I was able to stick with it mostly because of MFP's profanity filters--otherwise I would be long gone due to a level of anxiety that I really can't handle.
Now, this poses a problem for me. While I'm really, really happy to have all of you add me as friends, my MFP feed doesn't have the profanity filter that the forums have, and I need my feed to be "safe" for me. Lately I've been scared and anxious whenever I open MFP, for fear of what I might read on the feed.
I just wanted to tell all of you who have been so kind to add me, that while I don't expect you to filter what you post on your MFP, I really don't want you to be offended if I delete you for usage of profanity. It DOES NOT MEAN that I don't like you or that I don't want to be your friend--this is just an issue that I have a terrible, terrible fear of and really can't handle. I honestly contemplated making a second account to log my food so I wouldn't have to look at the feed on this one so I wouldn't end up deleting or alienating any one of you--I decided that it was best to bite the bullet and tell the truth.
Please don't be offended, because I truly don't mean to offend anyone. I'm sorry if I've made anyone feel bad or guilty or angry at me by this confession. No judgement and all that, right?
I am glad you are comfortable and brave enough to specifically list your needs (and boundaries) about this here.
I don't think cussing in part of my normal communication but if I cross a line I understand if you delete me. No hard feelings whatsoever. HUGS to you.0
