      What about your plan is not fun? I think that sounds like a great evening!

      I have to agree.

      So, I need to tell a sweet hubby story since everybody else is.

      I love to go dancing. Hubby can not find a beat. He signed us up for private dance lessons so he can dance with me. :grin:
      Last night was the first lesson. This will be a fun little diversion for us.

      That is very cool!! It's all the wonderful husbands that I hear about on here that give me hope!!

      Haven't seen the video but I'd have to say the same about involvement... although perhaps the kitchen is not the room where I should die on my sword since my SO is the cook, lol... but when we met, the kitchen walls in the home my SO owned were flaming orange. In semi-gloss.

      Like ORANGE 036.jpg

      I couldn't face looking at walls that colour every morning.

      Nope, I couldn't either :grimace:

      I remember online dating and I just WOULD NOT tolerate a guy messaging me if he had spelling/grammatical errors in the message. OR it would COMPLETELY turn me off to a guy if he had a profile that had spelling/grammatical errors all over it. Lack of punctuation for me is a SERIOUS turn off, even in texts.

      "Hey bby how r u doin just saw ur pic an ur hot as fck"

      'Nah bro. You're blocked now.'

      this! completely!!!!

      Yup. 1000%.

      I also remember getting a TON of messages that just said

      hey


      Um, hey what? Are you just randomly sending a message to hundreds of women to see if you can get a response. My response is "Delete"

      I was down 2 lbs. this morning. I celebrated by eating a donut. I call that winning.

      I was going to buy cheesecake later if I lost weight. I think I'm holding onto water weight from my physical therapy workout yesterday so I didn't lose any yet (same thing happened last week but when I checked the next day I was down). I may still go get cheesecake. :)

      In the beginning, these congressional and secretarial government *kitten*(Sorry Susie) weren't even supposed to GET PAID! It was a VOLUNTARY POSITION for the betterment of the country and after they had served they were supposed to go BACK TO THEIR REGULAR JOBS.

      Obviously some people took advantage of their position at some point and changed things and now they serve 2 freaking years and get a $250,000/yr pension! But we can't get proper medical care to our military veterans, our government can't afford to give its citizens free healthcare, or tuition free state run colleges. BUT WE CAN TOTALLY AFFORD TO GIVE JOE SHMOE WHO WENT TO HARVARD, GOT A LAW DEGREE AND GOT INTO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES A QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR PENSION FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE EVEN THOUGH HE ONLY SHOWED UP TO WORK 1/3 OF THE TIME!

      /end rant

      ETA: Grammar and punctuation. Though there may still be some. A little bit of passion got in the way.

      and this

      @Italian_Buju I am an American and I feel that wealth tips too heavily toward too few who currently dominate our government. It's a sort of 'heir' system. If you look closely, many of the people in our congress or senate all seem to come from the same wealthy families. The power will sadly stay with these same rich families who pass their seat to the next child in line to help them keep all of their money.

      I have worked as a waitress and a bartender making $2.13 an hour plus tips. I had to report the amount I made based on a percentage of my sales. There were nights when I got tipped so little I walked out with no money made and still owing the restaurant money to pay taxes on what I 'should have made' based on my sales.

      I was married, and I was the only one working to keep the household afloat. My husband couldn't find a reasonably paying safe job with his Master's degree. I worked 65 hours a week and was trying to go to school. I didn't make it through school and I still owe $2,200 in student loans.

      Where we lived had something to do with it. It was Odessa, TX and with the oil boom came people willing to risk their lives/limbs for some short term large sums of money. With the flood of that money from a few big companies(Weatherford, Haliburton) willing to pay large amounts for a short period of time, came the raising of prices for everything. The prices of homes, cars, food, everything except the minimum wage of the normal everyday worker.

      They asked for more because they knew they could and people would just accept it and pay it because those that could afford it at the time didn't care and those that couldn't afford it also couldn't afford to move and go live somewhere else. It sucked.

      *hugs* i agree with SO MUCH of what you've said!

      this is like the area where my mom and sister live. natural gas is all the rage in this area. so now a two bedroom apt in town that would have previously been $500, is now $1200. if you're not working on one of the rigs, you're pretty much screwed.

      Confession: I did a Combat class last night, and my fitbit counted some (probably a lot of) punches as steps.

      Confession #2: I don't feel bad about this.

      Woke up to find our dog had died in the middle of the night. She was 11 years old. And we have no idea why it happened.

      One of my kids is devastated. The other doesn't even know yet, and I have to tell her soon.

      omg, i am so terribly sorry to hear this. that's devastating. :'(

      I get the same way. In part of your head you KNOW you're being unreasonable, but you have no control over it.

      This is EXACLTY me! Mr. Mo even said, "Is someone hangry?!" He already knew.

      You're cracking me up today. Not that you usually disappoint...but today, you're extra funny.
      You also called yourself a loser, ha! ;)

      Thanks, @kelly_c_77 . Maybe it's because it's Friday, or all the sugar from the donut earlier. Regardless, I'm happy to be a source of entertainment for you today.

      This is exactly me, too!! I feel like I've got the dark cloud over my head and it just gets bigger and I get meaner until I can shove some food in my face. Thankfully, Mr. Jenni understands and gets this way too. We have started packing an extra sandwich to take to work for our commute home (we carpool) so that we can avoid the hangry when stuck in traffic for 45+ minutes.

      ETA: the extra sandwich (170 calories) also keeps us from deciding that fast food is a viable option because we MUST EAT NOW.

      Soda. Always. Half of Pennsylvania says pop and I hate that half. [possible exaggeration]

      Newark/Paterson, NJ, New York, NY, and Yonkers, NY.

      I was born in north Jersey and lived there until I was 14. This quiz is 3000% accurate. ;)

      (Page 1331!)

      I got Overland Park, KS, Kansas City (KS or MO), and Springfield, MO. I would say this is accurate.

      But why is that the fault of the person that makes minimum wage??

      I am sorry, but everyone of you that posted about this, all I can see is "I am mad that the person that makes my coffee/cleans my toilet when I stay at a hotel/makes my sandwich at subway, is able to feed their kids, pay their rent and have heat all winter" And quite frankly, it makes me sick to my stomach.

      Some of those people work 40-60 hours a week, doing hard laborious jobs, and you guys do not think they work hard enough to make a living wage?

      Minimum wage has gone up quite a few times in the last few years where I live, and while it does not affect me personally, I am glad the woman that makes my tea every morning on my way to work, might be able to buy something nice for her kid and still pay her phone bill in the same month. And it disgusts me that some people would rather see people like that struggle and not be able to eat every day, because they did not have the same opportunity to go to school that you did. Not everyone is born on the same playing field and gets the same chances, but everyone is human and deserves the same dignity and a living wage.

      but that's just it, that is completely your projection onto what they were saying. not a single person said they want to see others suffer, not a one. but that's how you perceived what started off as a non-argumentative confession one person had reconciling their life path with the way society is changing.

      then you were out-right rude and mean to that person. that's completely uncalled for and unfair. it has nothing to do with "refusing to tolerate societal injustices" it's you looking to have someone to be morally superior to.

      Well your whole POV on this subject comes off very mean to me. So, your dad worked his butt off so you could go to school. What about the ones that do not have a dad to do that?

      That is what I mean about opportunity. If you are lucky enough to be able to go to school, awesome, good for you, but that does not make the people that did not get that same chance worth any less.

      And while you might not have come right out and said they are beneath you, you certainly think they do not work as hard as you do, which is totally wrong. You came right out and said that, or agreed with it anyway (I do not quite recall).

      As far as the bolded, what exactly are you saying then? The deserve to make money, just not enough to actually live off?

      and as far as anyone on this thread is concerned, there are few as kind and understanding as @LBuehrle8. she never said she thought anyone didn't work as hard as she did. she was discussing the different routes that eventually ended everyone up in the same location. it was a discussion. you took it personally.

      The brewery thing sounds fun!! Try some new stuff for me. I love some specialty beer!! I can't do it that often though because calories. It is an indulgence I look forward to when I go out.

      I'm not a beer drinker, AT ALL, but Mr. Mo is so I'm sure he'll try plenty. I've heard they have good food, so that's what I'm mostly excited about.

      @MoHousdon How many squats do you do? Do you do them every day? Every time I start a squat routine I always end up dropping out of it... but I do want a nice tush :confounded:

      I can totally relate. Don't worry there have been disagreements in this thread but we all have to agree to disagree to keep it successful. I know what you're saying though and I know I'll get a lot of hate but when I read your last couple sentences the world socialism came to mind. Like in high school when teachers made a grading curve on tests or papers- why work hard when you know others will and you can do minimal work and still pass! Sorry if I offended anyone too but I very much understand what @levan11 is saying.

      I want to add, I agree with parts of both of your points of view. I'd like to add, that it will mean money out of her pocket in the long run because that money to pay those fast food workers more will need to come from somewhere which will result in paying more for said fast food, etc. Resulting in an increased cost of living for all, so this might just be a bandaid type situation that is not going to help the individuals much in the long run.

      Mr. Mo asked me what I wanted to do tonight before I left for work this morning, and all I could think of was stuffing my face with takeout, and binge watching Breaking Bad. I WANT to do something fun, but that would require a shower since I'll be all sweaty/stinky from working out, and then making an effort to find non-pj clothes. It's too much work.

      this IS something FUN!!! B)
