    Hey. I've already deleted my post.. it was one of those panicky things and I got embarrassed straight away. You don't need to delete yours though.. I'm sorry you went through that.. You're right the world we live in is twisted. I sometimes wonder how people end up in such an evil way.

    My Grandma's just went in for the shunt operation which will drain some of the fluid off her brain. Just waiting to see how that turns out. Thankyou for your response :)

    Hope everything goes well with your grandma's surgery. We are always here to listen. (Hugs)

    @nonoelmo I'm so sorry that you ever went through such terrible experiences!! Huge, huge kudos to you for getting yourself help and managing to pretty much completely overcome it--that is absolutely, jaw-droppingly amazing, and I think you are (or have become) a very strong and wonderful person, regardless of those horrible experiences.

    My confession from Friday... I got really drunk on beer that was not labeled "lite", got home, crawled into bed, and ordered pizza, then made my boyfriend stay up until the pizza came and hand deliver it to me in bed. I'm not a nice drunk, very bossy, no fun, shocked he hasn't left me yet.

    i heart you

    Wow, you guys, 900 new posts...

    I had to skip some pages so I apologize.

    I've got a serious case of the hangries today. Work is absolutely mental this month (big, big merger-type thing happening with the government involved) and all I want to do is eat all the stuff that keeps appearing in the kitchen (Nutella doughnuts?) But I've been having way too much fun already this month (camping trips, parties, hanging out with a beer at my pool, etc.) and none of my trousers are going to button if I continue in this vein, so...I'm living on vanilla orchid oolong tea and nerves until further notice. I'm usually a litres-of-black-coffee kinda girl but I've been really good at cutting that down over the past couple months so I'm trying not to backslide.

    Still. Ugh.

    My Modcloth dress order should be here tomorrow so I'll probably be able to pick it up on Thursday and show you guys photos of the dresses I posted last week so you can help me decide.

    I'm really excited to have Wednesday off for Canada Day because it makes the work week seem so much better. I love weird holidays like that.

    @KylerJaye and the online dating, good for you for sticking to your guns and not letting insta-creep push you into anything. It's terrible that you can spend a whole evening with someone and not see their crazy come out until hours later, but I guess that's online for you, right? Still, I'm wishing you better luck!

    work chaos is always the worst! hang in there
    nutella donuts?! i don't know if i'd have your strength to resist

    and thank you!
    i'm not giving up just yet....even though last week i did get a marriage proposal from some dude in morocco....

    I confess that I've done a horrible job of keeping up with this thread.

    Not only has 7/1 @ work been brutal, but the Big Brother feeds have been vastly entertaining!

    I'll try to get caught up

    So I'm trying to catch up

    @orangesmartie yay for a meetup! It sounds so awesome! I'm jealous!

    @nonoelmo hurray for NSVs!!!!! You rock!!!!

    @pofoster21 yay for coming home!

    I would also like to say that directly because of this thread, I talked to DH last night (and there was no yelling and/or crying involved lol) and we WILL be getting a cleaning service. I'm calling today to schedule the initial intake or whatever. I need the help and I'm tired of feeling like I can't even enjoy my kids bc I'm always working. I will make room in the budget for it. If it delays me upgrading my car, then so be it. It will be worth it.

    Didn't have the dog convo yet, but I did sorta bring up the subject of the car. Some forward progress was made but he got a little huffy about, "I'm doing the best I can, I'm only 27 with 2 kids so I don't know how to adult" and I shut down. I have no cares that his co-workers don't have kids. He does, he needs to man up. So in lieu of an argument I stopped talking and went for a walk outside.

    AND I'm officially down 30 lb today!!!! WOOT!!!!! 10 lb to goal and then I'll adjust again, but I'm 3/4 done with my initial loss!! I'm concentrating on that today :)

    Good for you! I'm so happy to hear that!

    Thanks SusieQ. LOL. It is so far behind me now that it ceases to exist for all practical purposes. I just brought it up to help another. I am small but mighty. :wink:
    I like the person I am and I continue to work to improve myself. I have flaws and faults and "moments" but I endeavor to improve on all fronts. I think you are pretty awesome too. This whole thread brings out the best in people. I really like all the posters (and you lurkers too!!)

    @riderfangal eee I know the feeling when the guy is nice enough but that spark just isn't there and he keeps trying to touch you haha I hate that! At least you made a new friend and now you don't have to think 'what if' if you hadn't gone!

    Lol yep it was pretty awkward and I am actually glad I went! Thank you all for the positive thoughts this week

    That is so awkward!
    I once went on a date and the guy was really into me, and I just was not feeling it....so we had went out for dinner and then went to a club I frequented....I thought he might have clued in when I kept introducing him as my friend and not my date, but he didn't. Finally, he leans into me and tells me how much he likes me....and I decide to be honest, and tell him he is a great guy but I am just not feeling it, that I will dance with him and such the rest of the night but I did not see it going anywhere.....he seemed fine, bought us another round of drinks, and then went to the bathroom, and NEVER RETURNED. He drove, so I was stranded a city away, at a night club. I was not impressed.....

    this is one of my biggest fears! ugh, that's so terrible! :(
    guys keep offering to pick me up and i'm like no thanks! a few seem put off by it, but your story is the EXACT reason why.

    I agree with you. On a first date, when it's with someone I don't know, I'd much prefer to meet them somewhere rather than them know where my house is.

    I'm stopping by at lunch time. I did a LOT of online dating until I met my SO. I got my screening down to a pretty good art. Message then email then phone call (optional) then a simple short meet date. Most guys who got to the meet part were nice enough guys but the meet for coffee or a quick lunch was plenty to let me know they were not right for me. I refused to have drinks as a first date, I want to know what I think of someone stone cold sober. SO and I had a lunch first date and had such a great time. I'd given him the wrong phone number so he was worried I was standing him up (I just transposed a number). He jumped to his feet, greeted me with a hug, was just fun the whole lunch. I'm with all the others who feel that you are super lucky your date showed what he's like so early on - he couldn't get through one date with decent behavior, who'd want a relationship where that was the norm. UGH! Enjoy the process. There are MANY many many men out there. It is a numbers game, you just have to keep trying until there is a good match for you both. :wink: If you want to take a break from it then take breaks as needed. I took a break when it started feeling like a chore.

    you always have the best advice! :smile:

    years ago when i was doing the dating thing, i'd always go for coffee for dinner. but then i had a few really awkward situations, which really was more on the weirdos i was out with, but now i try to avoid the "trapped" type of scenario. plus i really can't stand eating with strangers (i'm weird, i know).

    i think i might try to check out a few other sites. right now i'm just on okc and it's pretty bleh.

    Ladies and gentlemen of the confessions thread, a moment of hush if you will, I have an announcement to make.

    <drum roll>

    This afternoon, in the car park of a slightly up market grocery store, outside a ubiquitous coffee house chain, @girldownsouth and I met up. In honour of this thread, we did not partake of frothy expensive refreshments, but instead meandered many miles along the river, in idyllic English countryside (beside the motorway).

    We (well I did anyway) had a lovely walk in the sunshine, getting to know a new friend. We do intend to do it again.

    I thank you for your attention. Here endeth the announcement. Please return to your regularly scheduled confessions.

    that's so awesome!! :)

    Stupid forum isn't quoting the post correctly, nut I wanted to say big hugs
    that is a huge amount to be processing, particularly with your gran being ill.

    You can say anything in this thread and we will support you as best as a group of Internet strangers can.

    I wish I knew what to say to help, or comfort you. Along want.to.do is hug you. Someone better will be along soon. But in the meantime, ventral you need to here.

    And perhaps consider some counsellingnor something to help you deal with all of this

    Yeah I feel like even though my Gran has had dementia and I've been looking after her for a couple of years she's still been the main support in my life and with her being critical it's just made everything else that's happened to me hit me all at once.

    I couldn't even leave the post up for 5 minutes haha.. I think I'm going to consider counselling. Thanks so much for your reply.

    Sending positive vibes for a successful outcome for your Gran... and for you. I didn't catch the original post, but I can guess. Counselling will help. You may think you've successfully put stuff behind you but, as nonoelmo says, it'll pop up again when you least expect it.

    (((Hugs))) to you and @nonoelmo .

    I DID IT!!! I went down cautiously at first and saw that nobody was outside of the apartments, so I went all out: I CLIMBED NINE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS!!!! :smiley:

    I admit that I was lazy and went down in the elevator the second time, then climbed back up the three flights, took the elevator back down, repeat. :p At least I did the "up" part, right? ;)

    Sooo much awesomeness! WELL DONE!!

    Yes, going up stairs is the hard part, that's the one that counts.

    I did it again!! Nine flights up, nine flights down. But now I'm thirsty and I still have three hours of fasting to go. :p

    Way to go!! You are doing great!!

    This is long so don't expect people to read it - just need to get it out!

    Like a lot of other posters here I am going through lots of life stresses at the moment and the last few days have felt very sad, numb and unmotivated. I am ever so slightly eating my feelings 'grief bacon' but am logging it all so I can see it in black and white. My confession today is that I am fed up with never feeling as though I am allowed to be stressed or upset. Work, home, health are all suffering at the moment, but I am just expected to suck it up. If one more person says to me 'it could be worse' I might scream. I am silently screaming and unfortunately the pain is beginning to show on my face. I know things could be worse, just doesn't mean that because someone somewhere has it worse than me that I just have to 'be fine' all the time.

    Dealing with mixed emotions is so hard - so happy for friends and loved ones who have fantastic things happening, mixed with my grief and sadness for what I am secretly going through. Not wanting to see friends because I don't want to make them miserable mixed with worrying I am not being a good friend by seeing them and sharing in their joys. Or, worse, that I am making them feel guilty for being happy.

    Feels better to 'get it out' but I am so sad at the moment and I just wonder when bad things will stop happening!

    You're allowed to express your feelings about your pain no matter what anyone else says. Yeah, it sucks that someone doesn't have a leg, but it doesn't make your leg hurt any less when you break it. I hope you feel better and I'm sorry it isn't going well for you right now, personally or with people who're supposed to be empathizing with you.

    Guys, remember that London Dairy new ice cream flavor I mentioned? The Red Velvet Cheesecake one? IT IS TO DIE FOR. Seriously. It's SO good! It has swirls of ooey gooey red velvet caramel-textured stuff, chunks of a dense, chewy red velvet cake, and generously sized chunks of cheesecake. The ice cream itself has a cream cheese-like taste, similar to cream cheese frosting but not as sweet or rich. SO GOOD.

    The other two are okay. I'm just sad that the cheesecake one is finished because I shared it with my husband (he didn't like the other two). :p

    This was not nice. I want this now.

    Oops. I'm sorry! :( I figured that since you get all the good ice cream in the United States, you'd be able to get this one or at least one like it. :o

    Oh I am sure I can. I just can't. You know? ;)

    Makes sense! ;)

    Okay, no one really took me up on our daily motivation, but I am going to go ahead and share progress anyway.

    Steps: 19, 903 (vs. 25K goal) due to rain and help at barn, as I didn't do quite as much walking as I might normally due as I had help. +
    Never got to my run. I had forgotten my shoes so had clothes but no shoes at barn. So had to come home (kiss of death) and try to motivate myself. Well, after eating, and dealing with a washing machine mess (standing water due to clogged filter from washing bathroom mat that disintegrated) it was 10:00. I just couldn't get myself out then. +
    No alcohol +
    Did not work on dissertation. For the above reasons.

    So not great. Today:

    Flying to Dallas on a 6:40 flight (hence being up so early) for a meeting. So... this is really going to be a challenge but going to try to:

    Walk 10K
    Run 1 hour
    Work in dissertation (I will use the plane trip to read some articles I have lined up for my literature review)
    No alcohol (this will also be challenging as I am going out with some of my team for 'drinks' as I am in Dallas and we don't see each other much.

    So...on 3 hours sleep off I go. I'll probably check in at airport, etc. Have a great day all.

    Way to go POF! I think you did pretty well on your goals, given what life threw (sp? that looks wrong, but I think it's right) at you. Man, three hours of sleep would have me sleeping on the plane rather than dissertating, but way to be a good grad student :)

    I like this - are we going to do this here or in the Batcave? I'm sure I'll find out as I catch up this morning, but I'll contribute, too.

    Yesterday I just *barely* hit my 10K steps. 100+ weather in the northwest, which is crazy hot for us, it should be 75ish. I was supposed to get a good step count in by walking Wilbur, but he was having none of it. Poor delicate 80 pound baby ;) I did a 3 mile run first thing in the morning and then errands/food prep for the rest of the day.

    Today, I've already gotten my SL 5X5 in, and walked to work, will walk home and go to the gym for an Insanity class (supposed to be kickboxing, but swapped out for the month). With Wilbur's mini-walks I should hit about 15K steps.

    Is it such a bad thing that I'm picturing you walking an enormous, fat, pot-bellied pig whenever you say his name? Because I totally do, thanks to Charlotte's Web--Wilbur will always be a pig name for me. :p

    @susieqhusband she needs a Fitbit. Now!

    And I know you are reading this!

    During iftar, we were talking, and he was like... "Did you see that post?"
    I replied, "What post?"
    He said, "The @SusieQ's husband post!"
    I was like, "No, not yet, I'm not caught up. What was it about?"
    "Apparently the horse lady is demanding that I need to get you a Fitbit right now."

    :p

    BAHAHAHAH Mr. Susie is funny!

    Yup, he is. I'm constantly laughing at him, so much so that he calls me his gigglebox. :p

    Random and completely off-topic: With all the housekeeper talk, I wondered if anyone here knows how common it is to have a LIVE-IN maid in the Middle East? Almost every family that's middle income or higher has a housemaid living in their house--it's so popular that houses are built with a "maid's room" in the blueprints! In my family, we grew up having them, but I've always hated it SO MUCH because I really treasure my privacy--she was never allowed to come anywhere near my room or my stuff unless I was supervising, and generally I cleaned and cooked for myself, even when I was living at home. I hate the whole idea of it, and completely banished the idea of a live-in maid as soon as I got married, which my husband thankfully agrees with me about.

    Here in Saudi Arabia, since women aren't allowed to drive, almost everyone also has a driver living with them as well--usually in an outdoor room. Driver's rooms are also a very common built-in feature of Saudi Arabian houses.

    I'm just curious if this knowledge is commonly-known, or if it's going to surprise everyone. :D

    I did know that a live in housemaid was common, but did not know a driver was. Here is my question.

    The driver is obviously male, and it is the female of the house that cannot get herself places. But from what I know, an unrelated male and female could not be alone like that in a closed space, so how does it help to have a driver?

    ... That is exactly what makes it so stupid. Their "solution" is haram (forbidden), when the problem actually wasn't. While cars didn't exist back in the time of our Messenger (peace be upon him), his wives used their own animals to get where they needed to go, BY THEMSELVES. But now that the "animal" is metal they somehow call it forbidden. O.o It makes no sense, Islamically OR logically.

    I think that their problem is that many Saudis (Arabs in general, really) think of the unskilled labor workers as practically sub-human, and many treat them as such. So the driver isn't seen as a man, somehow, which makes me angry. I hate racism--a man is a man, regardless of where he comes from.

    This view really hits home when you think of it like this: If a female was caught riding in the car of an unrelated ARAB male, both would be arrested. But if she's stopped with her driver? "Oh, it's just a driver." :angry:

    That is truly sickening.

    @orangesmartie thanks for the idea of the Zombies Run App! I did the first mission in my living room just jogging in place so I could earn some more calories to eat a Pop-tart ice cream sammich.

    Good for you! I love your love for ice cream! :) I tried the Market Pantry Monster Cookie ice cream (I think it was you that told us about it). I loved it! Unfortunately, I ate the whole thing by myself in one sitting! That was one of my high calorie days the other day... :(

    LOL @ I've had a few people tell me I need to go to Ice Cream Rehab.

    Glad to hear you liked it & don't beat yourself up too badly:(. A few months ago I ate a whole carton of the Great Value Cotton Candy ice cream & the sad thing is I didn't even really like it.

    Tried a pack of the seaweed tonight in a spicy flavor & it definitely tasted what I thought seaweed would taste like. I have a few more packs & will only eat them when I have a salty craving.

    a few years ago i had a obsession with Hershey's Cotton Candy Bar.
    https://www.hersheyicecream.com/Novelties/Sticks/cottoncandybar.html
    no place in my area carried them, so i would drive 45 minutes to a gas station that carried them and would stockpile.
    and now i need one...bad.

    Ha! That's awesome :)

    @riderfangal I've been reading your username as riderangle since the beginning of the thread...until I've been replying to you :blush:

    LOL the riders are my favourite football team. I am actually somewhat obsessed lol. Truth be told I wanted to name my son Ryder but my ex was having no part of that

    I probably missed it in previous pages, but @riderfangal you had a date on Saturday, right? How did it go?

    He was very nice but no spark. On the surface we should have meshed completely but nothing. I was thinking maybe its just me in my heart I am not sure I am ready or wiling to enter into any relationship. Still it was nice to enjoy some adult conversation. :)

    It happens. But at least you got a nice evening out!

    I dated a guy that, "on paper", should've been a perfect match for me, but there was no spark with him either. I've also wondered if it's me not being willing to be in a relationship, but I want a spark, darn it!

    (psssst... I'm post-stalking you :p )

    In my experience, do not settle for anything less than "the spark". That's what will carry you through the rough patches, and keep you working out stuff when you'd really much rather throttle him.

    I stayed in a relationship for much too long because he was the "good on paper" guy who should have been my match made in heaven. Nah. Now I'm with the guy who would seem to be the "least likely prospect" (until you realize we are actually two peas in a pod, beneath the demographics) and we've got all the spark.
    LBuehrle8 wrote: »
    Ohh yes I definitely am a spark fanatic :) I love thinking about the person and getting butterflies!

    Exactly! I've had "the spark" with a couple guys and while they didn't work out, I'm not willing to settle for less than that.

    I thought the spark would grow with my ex. It didn't. He was nice. All the issues came out after we married although I was very naive and missed some red flags. He stopped being nice. But I think sparks would have helped. I "never" liked to be touched while sleeping, not even breathed on by my ex, I just thought I liked my space while actually sleeping. Turns out that is not the case, SO can wrap his arms and legs all around me and I sleep just fine. He can breathe on me, he can snore, he can pull me closer in his sleep. I adore sleeping wrapped up in him. Spark does matter to me! Whenever I see SO he greets me with a KISS and a tight hug, every time. Spark matters. SO travels about 1/2 the time and we do not live together. He calls virtually every night he is away (very few exceptions and he lets me know in advance that due to time zone difference etc. he will be asleep by the time I have time to talk.) In the 1.5 years of dating I think there are less than five nights that he has not called me.

    The spark matters. Sometimes it DOES grow and it happened out of the blue with my current Sergeant Sexy Pants.

    We see each other outside of work and ALWAYS greet with a kiss and a hug. Holding hands in the car. *sigh* I miss him, he's out of town now for work stuff. :disappointed:
    But he comes back tomorrow! :smiley:


    Bad dating story: Met this guy, Brandon, on Plenty of Fish. We decided to meet at the lake for some fishing, I enjoy fishing, and I had a couple of the beers he brought. Well, he had MORE than a couple, got drunk and after some conversation decided he was in love with me and wanted to go to San Antonio and get married. I said no, he then wanted to go to San Antonio to go "do some 'shrooms." Yeah, HELL NO! Then he tried to feel me up and kiss me, drunk off his *kitten*, in BROAD DAYLIGHT, and when I pushed him away he sat there dejected for a while and said he 'didn't feel comfortable' around me anymore.
    DUDE! IMAGINE HOW I FEEL?!

    Cut to the entire rest of the week where he is texting me and calling me and leaving me messages about how he is SO sorry and wants to make it up to me and to come over to his place and we can talk it out and cuddle and watch a movie. No.

    My response: You made your first impression and while the date started out well, I will have you arrested for harassment if you ever contact me again.

    So, he had his DAD call me to tell me he voluntarily had himself put in a mental hospital because he was so devastated that I broke his heart.

    I am glad I missed that train into Crazy Town.

    ETA: Fixed quotes.

    holy mother of god.....

    Confession: I have a week off from working out, I'm anxious as all hell. I've realized that I've substituted cutting with exercise, I'm actually worried that I'll fall off the wagon this week and regret everything.

    We'll be here to try and support you! I don't have anything else but that. Except for the fact that it would be long distance I would send you my number in case you need someone to talk to.

    I think a lot of people have crazy first dates like that......I had a guy once lose his mind because I did not want to go to his mother's church to meet her.....during a first date....well, and a last date in that case.....you can't let that make you stop dating!!

    How... What... Ummm, I don't even know what to say. Did you go?

    NO! I was so freaked out lol
    and that was not even the worse thing that happened on that date!

    Right before this happened, we went to his place so he could change his shoes (they were new shoes that were killing his feet), and while we were there, he asked me if I was dating anyone else. I told him the truth, which was that I was dating a guy for about 6 months, but he had recently left the country for work for 4 months, and that I made it clear I was going to date other people while he was gone, and did not know what was going to happen either way when he got back depending on what I was doing.

    This guy lost his mind, and started freaking out that I was just gonna use him for four months and go back to this other guy, and I said I did not know what was going to happen.

    Here is where it gets really messed.

    He pulls out a photo - like an 8x10 size - of a woman, and you can tell it has been crumpled up and flattened back out 20 times. And he shows it to me and says, "See this woman, this was my girlfriend for five years, I spent five years talking to her, and now we are done. NOW I am talking to you."

    Um, help??

    Right after that his mother called from the church to see if I was coming to meet her.....yeah, I think I will pass, lol. He called forever after that too, and I never answered once, lol.

    I have had a LOT of interesting dates over the years.....

    I DID IT!!! I went down cautiously at first and saw that nobody was outside of the apartments, so I went all out: I CLIMBED NINE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS!!!! :smiley:

    I admit that I was lazy and went down in the elevator the second time, then climbed back up the three flights, took the elevator back down, repeat. :p At least I did the "up" part, right? ;)

    Sooo much awesomeness! WELL DONE!!

    Yes, going up stairs is the hard part, that's the one that counts.

    I did it again!! Nine flights up, nine flights down. But now I'm thirsty and I still have three hours of fasting to go. :p

    I do not know how you can exercise during fasting!! I am impressed.....I do not even go to work when I am fasting, lol.
