I don't know...but it grosses me out. So I try not to look at even the titles...and I never click in. Did it once...won't make that mistake again, lol.
I totally agree. I can only hope their partners know what they're doing online, because yikes.
I don't really get the attraction either. I'm single but I guess I'm not interested in virtual ego stroking? Not into long distance relationships? Not interested in anyone outside of, like, a 200-foot radius?
Why can't I meet a man between the computer and the fridge, that would be the ideal situation.
It would be my luck to find one who gets into those threads though.
This made me LOL.

I took a quiz to see where in the US I sound like I'm from. Florida, Maine, and Boston were high up there (Boston, really?). Here's the quiz if you guys want something to do: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html
EDIT: Apparently I sound absolutely nothing like people from Detroit.
EDIT2: Took the quiz again and got three cities in California. No matter what it says Detroit is least similar.
I call it soda.
I just took the quiz and got Worcester MA, Boston MA, and Honolulu HI. Worcester and Boston make sense because I grew up in NH and just moved to ME 3 years ago...both states are right near MA. No idea about Honolulu though!
We are pop people in the inland northwest. I've done that quiz before, and it's super fun. The first time I took it, I confused it because I grew up in the northwest and but lived in the midwest, south, and southwest, so I learned words for things that I didn't have words for growing up (e.g. access roads and parking strips) and didn't pay attention to that when answering questions. When I did it again trying to just remember what I used to call things, it pegged me perfectly (gave me Spokane, WA; Seattle, WA; and Portland, OR - I grew up in Spokane).
I've taken it before, and it pegged me perfectly too. I don't remember exactly which city, but it was close.0 -

Apparently my dialect is closest to Boise, Reno, or Spokane. I guess I should move in with @Mohouson.
Nope, that would be me, Susie. Spokane would be @nonoelmo And you're welcome any time!0 -

Although I pack a gun and a badge, sleeping in an empty house for two nights knowing there was just a prowler does not insure a good night's sleep.
I am trying to decide if I should leave the dog outside, so she can scare them off, or have her inside with me "for protection."
She's 160 pounds...She'd probably be bigger than the prowler. LOL
@quiksylver296 who acts tougher the cat or the dog?
The cat, LOL. The dog is actually a big chicken sissy. 0 -

I came to work with my pants unzipped today. I didn't realize this until AFTER I got to my office and called Mr. Mo and looked down to see that my barn door had been left open. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, or not, but I'm sure glad I did before the day went on any further.
I confess I do this often if I have 'complicated' pants on. Meaning I have to button some elaborate button configuration. I always seem to forget the 'zip' part when that happens.
My neighbor caught me a couple days ago with it open (office neighbor). Oh, well. At least I was wearing underwear.
BOOM. That's exactly how those pants are. There's a button closure, then these 2 slide clasp things AND a zipper. I do the button first, then the clasps, and then by the time I get to the zipper, I've already exhausted myself.
I double checked my zipper today.

LOL - I get that reference. I've watched Grey's since the beginning... even though it's jumped the shark a few times.
I thought it was Grey's, but I cannot watch that show. Medicine doesn't actually work that way and it makes me crazy.
I actually find it hilarious that anyone who is knowledgeable in any field can't seem to watch movies or shows about them without getting completely teed off by the inaccuracies. It's totally something I would do if I watched anything! Inaccuracies would drive me absolutely up the wall...
That is why I cannot watch any cop-type shows.0 -
I'm gonna have to move you all out to the pool deck at this rate, but it's also a great place for a dinner party
I'm excited to go wine shopping, it's the best part of all dinner parties.
I'm cool with the pool deck, as long as there's no swimming involved. I'm looking forward to getting to wear a pretty dress and heels for this imaginary party I'm attending with all my new best friends.

We always have tons of food too. The chest freezer is always packed with frozen meat (minimum: ground beef, steaks, chicken breasts, chicken thighs or drumsticks, shrimp, scallops, a white fish, and salmon) and bread (we don't eat it fast enough to keep it fresh but I usually have buns of some type, sandwich bread, naan, and homemade pizza crust) and frozen fruit. Right now I have like six pounds of shredded cheese in there too.rungirl1973 wrote: »MissKalhan wrote: »Susieq_1994 wrote: »
Sad? I think you mean awesome! My fridge is full of old Chinese food, half eaten bits of cheese, empty orange juice cartons and a gigantic watermelon that I bought over a week ago and that nobody, inexplicably, is interested in eating. It needs a total empty and a really thorough cleaning, but I just can't bring myself to get motivated.

Better than going home and eating lots of high caloried food! (in my opinion so not trying to offend anyone, I obviously can't stop feeding myself haha)
I HATE shopping, hate it! I feel like its all I do sometimes. Yesterday I needed new pants for work, so while out running my errands I stopped in my usual clothing store, and was in and out with two pairs of pants in ten minutes. When I have to spend time trying stuff on or looking for something in particular, it drives me mad, I wish everything I needed was just bagged at the counter and I could just go in and pay and get out, lol. Today I have to go grocery shopping, which is the bane of my existence......ugh.
Well...we know I love clothes shopping. I am a master at Marshalls. I am a machine. I can buzz through that place in 30 min and walk out with great stuff. But again. Grocery shopping. Ick. When I move to Saudi Arabia Susie is going to take care of it for me.
Double grocery runs for me! Yay!
And double cooking. I think you would be horrified at how I eat out and that my cupboard is all canned soup and protein bars and that my refrigerator is empty. If I remember I'll post a pic tonight to show you!
Okay as promised here are my refrigerator and my cabinet.
Hehehehehe! Oh man, so I don't think the cabinet is bad, but that is one sad fridge.
Mine is full of eggs, sliced turkey, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, cauliflower, three different types of cheese, whipping cream, fresh milk, butter, margarine, bread, diet soda... And both your fridge AND hers sound terrible.
I haven't been grocery shopping since we got back from camping, I have some leftovers from the camping trip but we are in pretty dire straights... I need to get that sorted out and get myself back into a routine >.<
Sheesh. I feel like a freak. One fridge isn't enough for us. I have a second fridge in the garage, plus an upright freezer out there. We go through a TON of food. One example: Hubby grilled 6 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs on Sunday for dinner. We each brought some for lunch, and they were gone before I got home from work yesterday. There are 3 of us.
The fridge is pretty well always stuffed too. I need to have salad greens, bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, green onions, green apples, eggs, bacon, and a hard and soft cheese in there all the time, plus we've always got about a hundred jars of pickles and olives and stuff. And mustard. Literally ten kinds of mustard and ten kinds of hot sauce at all times. It's bad. And our roommate always has beer in there too.
Yet somehow nothing ever lasts long enough to go bad, thanks to my bottomless pit of a husband and my obsessive FIFO habits.
In my freezer I have two bags of chicken thighs, one bag of chicken breast, tilapia, mixed veggies, cauliflower, & a few frozen meals for when I am too lazy to make anything.
In my pantry I have around 5 boxes of protein bars, a package of the new Thin Golden Oreos, some Seaweed I probably won't eat, & some flavored pea snacks. In my other cabinets I have 6 peanut butters, various canned veggies/beans, around 8-9 different cereals, & rice.
In my fridge freezer, I have frozen food. In my upright freezer, I have more frozen food. In my fridge, I have lots of food that will probably not get eaten. In my walk-in pantry, I have yet more food.
I envy those of you that have full inventory of what you have on hand. I would love that but don't ever see that happening.
In my freezer I have 3 bags of mixed frozen fruit for my protein drinks.
What else could you need?
And yes, that would be it.
Your freezer is broken, too.0 -

Did that taste as disgusting as it sounds?
Sounds good to me, haha.
I've eaten jars of the stuff in my time. Managing to keep off it mostly these days and just drink one at night (that's the Options 40 calories a cup). Why? I don't know. It's messy and difficult to eat but it's, you know, chocolate. Mixing it with neat whisky adds another dimension. I'm so glad there are so many of us - have wondered at times if I had a borderline eating disorder.
I'm sure lots of folk have microwaved cheese on a plate like I used to.
My most recent confession is to going wild last week and eating 5 packs of crisps and popcorn and drinking enough alcohol to make me stagger around. These two things are almost certainly connected.0 -

Yes! Styrofoamy is right. I can really love a good home baked cake, though. My sister and I once made a delicious black cherry chocolate cake. You probably wouldn't like it because of the fruit, but maaaan it was delicious. I also love making homemade carrot cakes with CREAM CHEESE icing.Susieq_1994 wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »I prefer ice cream to cake by FAR. At birthday parties as a kid I sometimes decided to not take cake and just eat ice cream. Especially those gross cakes with the generic icing you can get in grocery stores. Don't know what the type of icing is called... but while kids were screaming for the piece in the center with the most blue frilly icing on it, I was like ''Just give me the end piece." Now one time I had a cake that switched out icing for some delicious strawberry filling and I was all for seconds.
This is me, except the strawberry filling part, since I generally hate fruit mixed into any kind of dessert. Most grocery store cakes and even standard bakery cakes taste yucky to me, especially that really weird styrofoam textured icing that they use. It's very, very rare that I find a cake that I actually WANT to eat--there's only ONE bakery in Oman that I enjoy cake from. One. In the whole country. (At least it's the only one that I know of, and I've tasted quite a lot.)
Exactly! When I first met my in-laws, they bought a cake that was supposedly red velvet from a bakery that has a good reputation here in Saudi Arabia. It was terrible--it tasted just like a grocery store cake, stale and styrofoamy. I forced it down out of politeness.
The cake bakery that I enjoy makes THE BEST dense, fresh, DELICIOUS cakes with real buttercream icing, cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, etc. They aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. I go there every time I visit Oman. I haven't found anything like it in Saudi Arabia. :-/
Confession: I make buttercream and eat it without cake. Sometimes I mix in blueberries or strawberries.
At least you make the buttercream.
Your post just reminded me that there is some leftover pre-made frosting in my fridge and I fully intend to eat it, with a spoon, over the next few days... willful cakelessness. Nor am I going to mix in fruit and up the nutritional quotient.
I love frosting. I happily eat it without cake. Sometimes I eat it off the cake and throw the cake away.
Hahaha I do too Patricia!! I heart icing so much!
When I would stay at my grandma's I would always look in her fridge to see if she had any icing & then I would take a spoon & eat some.
My grandma would make us graham cracker/icing 'sandwiches.' Mmm, I haven't had one of those in decades...0 -

Oooh... you are Super Great!
Leg Day for me today... I can't maintain consistent squat form to save my life, and I refuse to increase my lift until I get the bugs ironed out, it's very frustrating... but I'm still rather conscious of my glutes right now.
@Italian_Buju hope the weight machines went well... and the Quest bar... not sure about working out after one of those, they tend to sit in my stomach like an indigestible lump for quite a while.0 -

I WAS less stressed yesterday until dealing with my defiant 3.5 yr old, and now this…
Weight’s down a bit, and I hit goal weight#2. Not happy (still) with how I look, so I lowered it again to 120. I’m 5’4.5; that should still be ok. 128.5 looks lumpy on me. Hoping the jogging will help thin my legs/hips more.
Yuck day. So sorry. Hugs. I always get a gel manicures (the one with UV light to cure the polish) because they are dry by the time you leave the salon. I have never had one smudge.0 -

I'm probably slogging through a plateau right now, but I'm being delusional about it.0

Update from yesterday: I let the dog sleep inside. I locked up the entire house (we live in the boonies, and usually don't). I couldn't sleep. I'm exhausted this morning.
Confession - kinda: I tried out for Wheel of Fortune (the TV show) once. I got called back for a second 'interview.' I wasn't chosen and I haven't watched the show since. It's like I'm trying to punish them for not choosing me. Which is dumb, because they don't know if I am watching or not. (The guy that was chosen was a school 'lunch lady' and won over $40,000. He definitely needed the money more than me.)0 -
Hahah! Oops!If we're still doing confessions, here's mine for the day, then I should REALLY try and get some work done.
I came to work with my pants unzipped today. I didn't realize this until AFTER I got to my office and called Mr. Mo and looked down to see that my barn door had been left open. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, or not, but I'm sure glad I did before the day went on any further.
I used to work in an engineering office - 95% male. 42.3% of them would walk around unzipped most of the time, and I'd have to try not to notice.
Is it just a British thing to say "You've got egg on your chin" to subtly alert someone that their fly is unzipped? Is there an American equivalent?
The phrase I use is 'you're flying at half mast'. I think it refers to having your white shirt poking through your flies. Always makes me laugh.0 -
I finally got the quiz to work - I think I was breaking it with the one set of questions because my map ended up all blue for most of the questions.
My most similar are: Seattle, Tacoma and Salt Lake City.
Least similar: Amarillo, Lubbock, Shreveport.0
