Been there done that so many times which is why I need to lose 70lbs! Ordering in pizza, chinese or fish and chips allowed me to order enough food for 2 or even 3 people!

Thanks for happy vacation wishes! I'm excited! I'll catch up when I get back on 8/31. In the meantime, hope everyone has a lovely week and that progress is made on whatever you happen to be working on.

Nope, should have been with you first, allowing for the time difference.
But the magic only works for Kansas! Haven't you watched The Wizard of Oz?!

I've never seen them. I would definitely have to try them at least once.0 -
I totally understand... I've been doing ok so far, but next week is vacation. I think I may lose all sorts of mojo then, and I'm down to the last 15lbs I'd like to lose. Eep! Anything we can do to help, @Tubbs216 ?
Next week is my vacation too! I hope you have fun. Don't lose your mojo!
I'm actually going camping Monday-Wednesday next week so thankfully I'll be walking a lot. The rest of the days will be iffy. I'll probably be lazy. 0 -

@m1xm0d3 just posted on his wall that his grandmother had passed and that's why hes been MIA. In case any of you don't have him on your list.
Oh no. That is so sad.
I hope he is doing okay. 0 -
This is brilliant @girldownsouth ! You have made my morning.
I have the physique of an athlete. I feel confident in my ability to overcome physical challenges re: exercise or hiking or cycling. I know I'll never be 135lbs, but I don't want to be. I want to be muscular and fit and I see that emerging in myself.
Also, while some women might not like them, I love my smile lines. I am almost 39 years old and have done a lot of smiling and laughing in my life. My smile lines remind me of that and I appreciate that!
This was so cute. I love that you love your smile lines. 0 -
I am going to do a bit of grumbling, so please feel free to skim on by.
My work is really ticking me off this week. A coworker is on holiday, and she is the only one who knows how to do her job. They refuse to ever train anyone, but then I'm expected to know how to do everything when she's away. I have people coming up to me constantly to ask where things are kept, if certain things are done, etc. and I want to yell at them I DON'T KNOW! There is one tiny task she showed me how to do, and I was shown the day before her holiday started. She knew she was going to be away, why couldn't she have started training me on it a week or two before? I kind of feel like its a job security thing for her, if no one else knows her job, she can't be replaced.
Okay, venting over.
I have a similar situation at my work. There is a person who does badging (ID badges) and takes care of those issues. I don't have access to the system at all but when she is out she puts my name on her out of office reply... Makes no sense.
Sorry you are going through that!0 -

We're about to hit Page 1500.
What shall we do to celebrate?
ETA: Typing is hard.
Super sad that I missed it. But I was on page 1000 I believe so that is okay with me.
I have been so busy at work. We are opening a new office so I was working on getting everything ready (no computer access) which is why I've been away so much.
Sorry if I post a billion times. I'm just trying to catch up. I want to comment on more but I'm trying not to. 0 -

Yay for eyebrows. I have thick eyebrows but that is actually another thing I love about me. They make my expressions unique.
I also have thicker eyebrows which I used to hate, but have to come to like them. On the Celebrity Look Alike thread I usually got Lily Collins since she also has thicker eyebrows. When I was younger I sometimes would get comparisons to Brooke Shields.0 -

Hi everyone!! There has been 1,788 posts since I left I love you all and I'll try my best to catch up but no promises! I've missed this thread and the batcave and all of you tons! I had the BEST trip of my life!! Took tons of pictures I'll post a few in the batcave, so happy to be back and hope things are going well for everyone
Yay, you are back. Glad to see you. I'm so happy you had fun!0 -
For some reason I have been in the Batcave and thought it was this thread
Not really sure how that happened... especially since the Batcave only has about 60 pages and this one's over 1500.
I bought some skin cleansing Aztec clay and just used it for the first time. My skin feels extremely soft right now and most of the reviews claim that it works amazingly well. I'm hoping it holds up for me. I feel very self conscious about my skin and want smaller pores and a more even skin tone.
Oh and @LBuehrle8 I'm glad you had so much fun on your trip!! @FroggyBug and @jthurman3, have fun on your vacations!0 -

I tried color contacts once...I wanted fake green eyes to go with my fake red hair. Nope...way too fake looking! Never got them.
When I was young I had blue contacts. I kinda hated them because they looked really good and I would get tons of comments about how beautiful my eyes were. I rarely get comments on my real eye color which I think is still awesome.

I'm glad you said this, because I know of several stores that sell it in jars and that's how I was going to buy it, but now, I won't bother. I wonder if I could get Mr. Mo to make some. Is it difficult. Eh, if he's making it, I don't care how difficult it is.
Oh, and I haven't received my scone yet. I will watching the heavens for it this evening.
It's not difficult, especially not in a crock pot. My grandmother, whose mother emigrated from England, used to make it when I was a kid. (dairy farmers...lots of cream and heating it made it so that she could eat it. She was very allergic to liquid milk.) we used to double boil it while we were making butter.0 -
FluffySandwich wrote: »So... I picked up some muffin thingies in my pantry yesterday and saw that they had these tiny (REALLY tiny) bugs on them. I freaked and threw all of them away. Then I noticed that there were more crawling around in there. I started inspecting items in my pantry and found them on a couple more things. They are really hard to spot because they are so small. I would have thought they were just spilled spices or something if I hadn't noticed them moving.
Has anyone ever had this problem? I think I'm going to have to throw away EVERYTHING in my pantry... including my entire stock of spices, and I don't want to do that. I investigated them and don't SEE any bugs in there, but who knows? There could be eggs... ughh. I looked up advice and learned that most of the time these bugs are introduced into your home via goods that are not stored properly at the grocery store. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with that.
I've never had that problem in my kitchen but I remember when my sister and I were kids she used to keep her candy for a long long long time. One time she was going to get some to eat and there were tons of tiny bugs all over the candy. It was freaky. We just threw away her whole Easter basket and we didn't seem to have any issues otherwise. You may have to throw everything out. 0 -

I've been wanting to try colored contacts but I was never able to get the hang of putting contacts in my eyes. My eyes are a mostly greeny color with brown and yellow and grey and blue and every color of the rainbow. One time my sister told me they looked like ''someone splattered a bunch of paint on a canvas." My school IDs from elementary school had a different color for me every year.
Now I just call 'em green. (I want to try blue contacts though!)0 -
Oh man, that sounds so freaky! I talked to my mom about my problem and she reminded me of the time she opened up a container of oatmeal to find tons of worms crawling around. I wasn't that freaked out and took it to school to show everyone in excitement I'm so sorry that you are dealing with that.

Now I'm going to be extra paranoid around everything in my pantry, though I cleaned mostly everything out. The rest is in the freezer and I am really hoping there aren't any bugs/eggs in there. 0 -

I'm late chiming in on this but when I first started back at my work I worked with someone like @shibaears did. We got a specialized system for our trucks and she learned it and only showed me the bare minimum. She went on holidays for a week and I taught myself to enter the cheques, she was really mad when she came back about that.
That was because she liked to feel irreplaceable, and had already been dealt a blow as I was recruited back from my new job because my bookkeeping skills were much better.
Now I've tried to show the last two people I've worked with parts of my job and they either don't learn, do them so poorly I have to redo them, or just don't do them so it takes me 3 weeks to get caught up after 3 days off.
I loved this. Several years ago I worked for a company that downsized and they got rid of my manager. Before she left she refused to give me any information on how to do anything (she was a really mean person anyway so even though I felt bad that she was losing her job, I didn't feel THAT bad). I was able to teach myself how to do what she did anyway. It is always a good feeling when you are able to figure it out yourself and do a good job.
So, good for you!0 -
Rucksack run update: It's a nice evening here, so I skipped the gym and slogged 1.8 miles carrying 15lbs. I hesitate to call it running as my app says my speed was 3.43 mph, but it's not much worse than my unencumbered 13 minute mile. I'll have to try again soon for the whole 5k distance and then add weight. The good news is I can run with my own pack that has a water system and they will just put the 30lb kettle bell in it.0

Just sliding this in here for you all. I found it and thought maybe this could get people going again. Be a bit more optimistic etc
Wow, this really did tear me up. Thank you. Although I have a lot of rough days, I do try to live life this way. I'm the one who takes way too many pictures and laughs too loud but I think it that is the way life should be.0 -

See when I was doing online (POF, that how I met the mancreature) I went into with no expectations and a get away plan. I made a lot of great friends during the "dates" some of whom I am still friends with and know that nothing will ever happen. Just stop looking, that's my advice as weird as it sounds. Go with the flow and enjoy the ride.
This is the advice my mom always gave me and it works. Once I stopped looking, I met someone. It just makes it easier I guess. You feel less stressed/pressured so things go smoother maybe...0 -

Before we moved in together, my darlig other half's roommate once left a box of cereal open in their pantry, a fly turned it into a nest, and their kitchen/dining room/living room ended up covered in juvenile flies (I will avoid the M word because ew). They were mostly on the ceiling from climbing out of the pantry, but I made them trash EVERYTHING in the kitchen...and bleach the ceiling.
This is a nightmare...0 -
LOL. Haven't deep-fried ants been done before? I'm sure I've seen Anthony Bourdain or someone like that eat them.
Still. The sight of a couple ants fleeing from his mouth...people, it was seven years ago and I haven't recovered. Haha.
That is not funny but I'm sorry, I laughed at the way you worded it. Haha0 -
Sons updates!
Son #1 has a job interview tomorrow. Please send him positive vibes. It actually sounds like a nice little first job. I hope so much he can present himself well.
Son #2 I took him to the doctor to get antibiotics for his raging ingrown toenail infection. He has a podiatrist appointment next week to get it resected (sp?) but they won't do it if it's still infected. Hoping the meds will improve it enough - I want him to be all done before he goes back to school the following week.
Son #1-Hope the interview went well and he gets the job if he wants it.
Son #2-I hope his infection goes away.0 -
