MY SO probably has a similar issue.

He's supposed to see his dentist about getting a mouth guard thingy to wear at night.
I already wear a mouth guard thingy because I grind my teeth at night, so I'm a little too thrilled that he will have to wear one too. Really I'm hoping that it helps with his awful snoring.
I'd be thrilled to find something to help my husband's snoring! OMG, it's awful!!
More than once I have been commended for my lack of snoring. I guess my past girlfriends had been with some real log sawing fellas. I'm a very light snorer at best. Even my 10 year old snores louder than me.
Do you hear that ladies? Non-snorer here...
Haha! Be sure to mention this when meeting someone you're interested in...such a good thing!
Edited because seriously, my keyboard hates me.0 -

Glad you're feeling chirpy @orangesmartie
Glad your relationship is great @KylerJaye
Sorry you can't exercise @pofoster21
I hope everyone has a super great day! I'll be reading, probably not saying much, busy at work.
This goes for me as well. Trying to read everything but work is just way to busy to respond. Miss you all though!!0 -

Please let me know if this does work because Mr. Mo snores like a freight train carrying a pod of humpback whales using chainsaws.
Bahahaha! I'm lucky in the fact that both my husband and I are silent sleepers, I guess.
I sleep like the dead. No noise. No movement. And not much bothers me.
I can sleep through alarms and loud noises and terrible storms.
This is my sister. I, on the other hand, am a VERY restless sleeper. I toss and turn like crazy, and the lightest sound can usually wake me up. It stinks, since I'd love to have uninterrupted sleep.
I know the feeling

I came home and binge-ate a giant cookie, handfuls of special K cereal straight from the box, a couple slices of lunchmeat, and a homemade peanut butter nut bar. And probably other food I've forgotten about. Oops! There went that day
This is why I am glad I work. If I stayed home, I would probably work out, then proceed to snack away at any deficit I managed. I wouldn't even know how to log it. Plus I would probably leave a few things out and think later, Oh yeah, I ate that too....

I know it's still months away, but I just love that time of year so much...the weather, the fun decorations, the candy, picking out our son's costume and trick or treating with him! He woke up this morning telling me he wants to be a French fry this year. He was a piece of pizza last year!! His first Halloween, he was Superman. Second one, he was a dinosaur, and then last year was the pizza. I'll post pictures in the batcave later. I get ridiculously excited about picking out his costume and I will be pumped if I can find a French fry for him!
You could make this from cardboard. Paint it the right color and get him a red hat to be ketchup. :-)0 -

I used to be able to eat a half a Papa Murphy's Family Size stuffed pizza by myself. Now, I can MAX 2 slices. *flexes muscles*
I'm not proud of this, but I used to (regularly) order and eat potato wedges, chicken strips, a large pizza and a tub of ice cream, from Pizza Hut. I always planned to eat the wedges and strips one night, and the pizza the next. never happened. and when pizzas were on bogoff, i used to order 2, planning to eat one, save one. nup, that never happened either. I am such a pig!
I'm not proud of myself...but I have days where I can eat the world. Like, disgustingly huge amounts of food. Not sure how it all fits in there...but yeah. Kinda gross.
Same here. Then, once the eat-the-world feeling wears off, I feel so disgustingly sick/full and my stomach feels like it wants to pop, and I wonder how I could have gotten to this point of fullness without feeling the discomfort beforehand. I have no idea how it happens! It's like my stomach goes numb for a while, then suddenly feels everything at once.
Yep, I know this feeling as well. Every time it happens I always think, this is awful and I will never do this again. And yet, it always happens again...
Yes! It reminds me of being young and stupid drinking too much, getting hung over and swearing to never drink again. But then what do you know, the next weekend...there you are again drinking.
I've been sober 8 months now...but I can't quit food

I'm still working on getting caught up.
I went on a walk at lunch yesterday with a co-worker so that was good. I'm thinking about walking again today.
I have today and then half a day tomorrow for work so I'm in vacation mode already. This weekend I have my Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited (Pretty Lights Friday and Saturday). Hopefully no one laughs at me since I'm older but I bought jewels for my face so I'm going to put those on and I have Glowbys for my hair (fiber optic glow barrettes for hair). I'm just going to have fun. I'll try to post a pic in the batcave from my phone later of my trial run of the jewels to see what you guys think.
Friday morning we are going to Original Pancake house. Strawberry waffles and home fries here I come. Yay.
Cool! I used to be a raver and did all the decked out gear at one time. I've been an EDM DJ for over 5 years. I remember when Pretty Lights was just an up-and-coming midliner. Now he headlines all of his shows. Do you by chance like Bassnectar? He is always doing shows at RR.
Yes, I actually like Bassnectar as well but I've never been to their concert yet (I'm determined though!-I need to just go, I need more money haha). This will be my 3rd year going to the Pretty Lights Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited. I look forward to it every year. Tickets sell out so fast though.
That is awesome that you are an EDM DJ. We would get along pretty well. That's my favorite type of music. I'm kind of jealous, I always thought being a DJ would be pretty fun!0 -

Yerp. Some days it's like an abyss... a black hole sucking it all in while simultaneously remaining unsatisfied and craving moooore. >_<
It really is so weird and kind of scary how most days, I can just eat like a normal person...normal sized meals/foods. Then, it's like something takes over my body with no satisfaction or feeling full until I eat so much that I'm ready to pop!!0 -
To jump in on the McD convo: I used to get their sausage & egg biscuit, then add cheese to it (sorry @peleroja ). I also love their fruit & yogurt parfaits. Not too many calories, but quite tasty. I consider it a dessert for my biscuit sandwich.
Also, sometimes I just really want a McD's cheeseburger. The little one. I almost never actually spend 400+ calories on that little bugger, but yeah. That's the only non-breakfast thing I'll eat there, along with a hot fudge sundae. Heh
Confession. I haaate the word parfait. Not sure why.... but it could be the best thing on earth and I wouldn't order it if I had to say the name when ordering.
So you wouldn't order a peanut buster parfait from DQ because of the word "parfait"?! I do not understand this logic.
I don't go to DQ but IF I were to go and order that specifically, I would probably say something like 'peanut butter thing' while waving my finger towards where it's listed on their menu. Much like Wawa's 'sizzli' menu. I hate that word as well.
I'm not sure why I hate it other than it just sounds silly to me. I want to punch both of them.
Not peanut butter, peanut buster.
I didn't know they had a bar! I may try that. I think that would be JUST RIGHT.0 -

I have no idea about my snoring, lol
Whatever she called it, he promptly forgot. I don't think she said TMJ, though, he'd probably have remembered an acronym. But when he thought about it more, he does think the ear trouble began when he started the process of getting a dental implant.
Over the years I've heard of a lot of "ear problems" that turn out to be jaw problems.

Not about the police check, but I KNOW I'm going to have to get a blood test and just knowing that makes me feel woozy and teary. On top of that I read a review of the place I am most likely going that said the woman giving the blood test made everything painful... oh please don't let that be the case for me.
The last time I got a blood test I passed out on the floor and woke up utterly confused and nauseous, wondering if the woman above me was my mom and being scared that I didn't remember anything. Passing out is something I have a great phobia of. Blegh blood tests.
I don't mind having blood drawn, but my mom can't stand it. She also can't stand to stay in the room with anyone else who is having blood drawn, because the needles freak her out. Both my sister and I would sit with her and hold her hand and comfort her while she sobbed through it--and once, I covered her eyes with my hands and told her not to look and I'd buy her ice cream after it was over.
Speaking of having blood drawn, though... (squeamish people look away!) I once had an inexperienced nurse trying to draw blood from me, and I have VERY elusive and narrow veins. I usually have to warn the nurses that they'll have to get it from my hand, because they just can't find veins in my upper arm where they usually prefer to take it.
Anyhow, I warned her that she should take it from my hand, but she wanted to try my upper arm first. She ended up having to prick me three separate times, and finally resorted to my hand (why does nobody want to listen to me to begin with? I always warn them... Bunch of know-it-alls.). After she was done, she tried to collect the tube and stuff, and dropped the whole thing. Blood sprayed EVERYWHERE.
Did she have to take it again??
I had a terrible experience when I was a kid once. I was about 7 years old and there was a nasty lab tech digging around not getting blood and it hurt, a LOT. I started crying and when she pulled out, I got up and tried to leave. Next thing you know, I have like five medical people holding me down, one was literally sitting on my lap so I could not get up, while this woman dug my arm with what felt like a hot poker. I even remember I tried to bite the girl sitting on me at one point, and then someone else pulled me back by the hair and held me that way. It was over 30 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
That is terrible! Why would anyone do that to a child?
I will never forget when my son was about 4 months old he caught a stomach bug and became dehydrated from being sick to his tummy. Took him to the hospital and it took them 13 tries to get an IV in him. I was crying so hard I thought my heart was going to break and I was ready to punch someone right in the face.0 -

Do you hear that ladies? Non-snorer here...
Another sign of old age is that non-snoring has become a very attractive quality in a partner.
Yes, I've been with some really loud fellas in my time. Actually, I can only think of one who was a quiet sleeper. Which sucks because I'm a chronic insomniac.
One of my exes also had restless leg syndrome so I got kicked in addition to the racket.
Both your stories remind me of my boyfriend (we are getting along better at the moment just as a quick FYI). But he has restless leg and I am either woken up by the movement or getting kicked.
I feel so bad for anyone that has that.
He also snores really loud so I was able to hear him sleeping in the tent while walking around the campgrounds. It made me laugh. Wonder what the animals thought of that during the night. 0 -
Confession:
My food intolerances are often a pain, hassle, limiting. I had had plenty of bland or less than satisfying meals over the years. However I'm used to that and I confess that I'm glad I have them because:
Brownies, cake, ice cream, bread, and so many other things hold zero appeal to me. I will not eat them. It makes it easier for me (I think) to have consistently made good choices over the years because the other option is complete misery for days/weeks if I have something I know I should not have.
ETA: That is why I don't comment on much of the food on here, most of it is not something I can consider eating. My brain no longer really sees it as food.
Rest assured when I make any of the above it's a GF version. Nothing is worth triggering a celiac reaction.0 -

You just described my husband.
One night, we turned on our house security alarm and didn't realize that one of the cats was down in the basement. So hours later, the alarm goes off because the cat set off the motion detector. I wake up immediately (it's super loud) and my husband isn't in bed...he had fallen asleep on the couch downstairs watching tv. So I run down to find him snoring away. Meanwhile..the alarm is blaring, the house phone is ringing because the alarm company was calling to check if it was an emergency, and I'm standing over him yelling for him to get up. It took a good 2-3 minutes of all of this commotion to finally wake him!! He had no clue what was going on. I guess we all know who would have to save the day if there ever was an emergency...
