    Friends in the UK are you off today? My calendar says its a Summer Bank holiday?

    Yes, day off today!

    I added a couple of days before and a day after to make a proper holiday. We went to a festival, my first ever. I loved the music - loads of new inspiration, bands and music I'd never heard of.

    I cannot pretend that the amount of walking or dancing will cancel out the complete loss of focus on my diet. The only thing that was even slightly green was the pesto pasta. I ate mainly chocolate and chips for five days.

    No WiFi or Internet; battery on phone died and my fitbit did it's occasional game of pretending to charge and then dying. No mfp to keep me sane/on track.

    Only virtue was that I only had two points of beer-we decided not to drink as we might be a long way from the loos.

    No excuses but I am in for a difficult time getting back to where I was before I went on holiday.

    Since many of you are more up to speed on wedding etiquette stuff than I am... a question regarding how divorced parents are supposed to be arranged.

    My SO and his ex-wife have been divorced for many years and their daughter is getting married soon. The SO obviously has a partner, the ex-w does not.

    I have a nasty feeling that daughter is planning on seating the SO with his ex (based on a random remark she made recently)... is that the way it's supposed to be done? In other words, am I breaking some sacred law of wedding propriety if I protest this?

    Background: historically, daughter has cut me out of a few events which her mother would be attending, throwing her dad and his ex together. Her excuse is that having both her mother and me present would be "awkward".

    Very weird to put a divorced couple together although obviously it depends on their specific relationship. Wouldn't you want your guests to be as comfortable at your wedding and to avoid drama? We kept people as far away from each other as possible at ours who we knew would find it uncomfortable.

    I am really tempted to book my flight to Nashville, as a training incentive. But i'm worried about booking a flight and not a hotel. and I don't know how long to go for.

    Now I could understand the weird looks if you were buying stuff like a shovel, tape, saw, gun, knives, etc. but not Slim Fast.

    The whole cart was filled with nothing but slimfast, to the point that it was a little hard to turn. Plus one of the kids I help raise was in the store with me. She's 15, 4'11" and about 100 pounds, so I think it may have been people being shocked/judgy. I don't know.. I just smiled and waved (especially at the one woman who was at an isle across and had that stupid open mouthed gape thing going on while she stared...)

    For all they knew you were buying it for a group of people for a weight loss retreat. No matter how "judgy" anyone may have been, they don't know anything about in reality so whatever they are judging is a figment of their imagination. :smiley:

    I hate Judgy McJudge Pants when I'm shopping. Yeah I'm obviously pregnant and buying booze, but that doesn't mean it's for me. For the record, I don't drink, haven't for years. But my parents do and if I'm visiting I'll bring them something they'll enjoy. And all that chocolate? Well that is for me, but I'm not going to eat it all at once...she hopes.

    Would you like a gross confession? I will give you a gross confession. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    There's this thing called 'baby brain' or 'pregnancy brain' which I thought was a bit of a myth but might just have something to it. I've found myself of late nearly leaving the house with no shoes on, or putting the milk in the oven and other such random things. I put it down to having more important/interesting/cute things to think about.

    Well the other night I went for a pee but forgot to pull my knickers down! I pulled down my trousers and just plain forgot I had knickers on at all. In my defense, they were tiny knickers and I can't see past my bump anymore. But still. Gross. Only noticed when I went to wipe. Argh! Knickers went straight in the washing machine. Thank goodness it was only a number one (they'd have gone in the bin!).

    Told you it was a gross confession.

    HAHAHA this is so funny.

    Gross confession: I did something similar once, but mine was because of alcohol... :blush:

    I am really embarrassed now that I was neither pregnant nor drunk when I made that error! Just in a hurry!

    No worries--I've done it a few times when I just couldn't hold it anymore! I would get to the bathroom in time, but not get "all the way" to the bathroom in time, if you know what I mean. :D Luckily I was always at home...

    See, this is another perfect example of how we all think we have been the ONLY one to do something super embarrassing, and at least 4 of us have now owned up to having done it before!

    I'm glad I started this whole pee-related confession now. I'm sure we all feel a lot of relief (pun intended).

    Time for my REAL confession.
    I used to play World of Warcraft. Like hardcore raiding.
    I was in one of the top 10 raiding guilds for our server. I would sit and raid for HOURS. It was how my now ex-husband and I met. He was our raid leader for team B of DARK REIGN and then team A for Emo Kittenz and we were occasionally intermittent with Rhymes with Orange. If you know any of those guilds, I will be mildly impressed.
    I would NOT get up to use the restroom. Straight up, pee in a cup because "bio breaks were for n00bs" and one night, forgot my cup. I peed. Right there in my chair.

    The only shame came when it wasn't even worth it because we ended up with a full wipe of the raid and called it shortly after.

    So yeah, I peed myself for a VIDEO GAME. Talk about embarrassing....

    ETA: I just posted this on the internet and I want SO BADLY to take it back and delete it all because I fear judgement. But I'm not going to.....I need to own up to my learning experiences.
    I have learned, no video game is worth peeing yourself for.

    I didn't see you as a gamer. And I already told you people pee on the bike and run in tris (not me but they do, I'm not competitive enough to do that). So no judging from me. Did you throw the chair out? :)

    I'm getting a bit embarrassed about colleagues calling across the office "you look like you've lost weight", so everyone looks up. And then having to admit that the scale shows no change (maybe its broken??) but shape changing.

    I would just say yes, thank you! And its great people are noticing!

    I actually thought it was hysterical the day I did it. NOT that I told many about it!

    @orangesmartie maybe your scale is broken and that's why it's not changing. Maybe it needs a new battery?

    In case I don't get a chance I really hope you and @peleroja have super great trips!!

    @Susieq_1994 I'm sorry you had a rough day. I hope today is much, much better for you. ❤️

    *post date update*

    first date #14

    interacting online and via text, things were pretty cool.
    good, fun interactions, actual conversations that moved past the "hi, how's your day going?" type thing.
    but despite fun convo, dude kinda seemed like he was never going to actually ask me out, so on friday, i was like hey, if you wanna hang out let me know! so then we ended up going to a local place that evening.

    in person, it was....awkward?
    he was really quiet and withdrawn. which, i get the whole nervous first date type thing, but usually after a few hours, that lightens up a little. only it didn't. he just didn't seem very interested, and that's totally fine. but it still feels weird. so after a few hours, a few beverages, my filter ceases to exist, and upon saying good night (no attempt at a kiss or even a hug), the phrase "you poor boy" slipped out. eep.

    que the ensuing text argument wherein any chance of a second date was destroyed. so despite what appeared to be a total lack of all interest, dude says he had a good time. but of course at this point, i'm all angsty and annoyed and say as much in regards to his stand-offishness, to which he does the fine, it's all me whatever, thing.

    done and done.




    i miss mr.jerkface more than i care to admit :(

    Stupid frogs. I wish I could just conjure up Mr. Right-for-you and send him your way! <3

    hehehehe, i wish you could too!

    i just want to come home from work one day and have a cute dude sitting on my front porch, he knows all my weird quirks, likes to clean, can make me laugh, and wants to love me forevers.
    is that too much to ask for?

    I'm afraid the bolded will be too much to ask for. I'm yet to find a man who does that let alone enjoys it.

    My husband cleans. I don't think he likes it, but I've only had to clean the bathroom twice in 2 years - he does it all the time. :smiley:

    I confess that I love the show Masters Of Sex.

    I have no idea what this is (and I'm not googling it at work!) but thank you for a funny, silly confession.

    And to all those dealing with sad/bad things right now, internet hugs for you and I hope things resolve themselves for the better.

    Ahhh you made me laugh with this one (which I edited in my reply since I doubt you want it to keep popping up). I'm not into WofW but I know people who are. At least you didn't have a complete South Park moment...

    I ALWAYS make sure I have enough calories left over for a serving of ice cream... but I have to buy Arctic Zero and literally cut the package into 4ths or I have to buy the single servings of ice cream, b/c if I don't I will eat a whole carton of it. :s

    I remember reading about these a few years back. Not sure why I still remember them. This is the kind of in between for straight up peeing yourself and having to hold it until you find the nearest ladies room. It's basically a way for females to add an extra body part temporarily so that we can pee standing and not pee on our shoes... http://www.amazon.com/Go-Girl-Female-Urination-Lavender/dp/B003BEDUS6

    Oh yeah. I rocked some MMORPGs in my day. Star Wars: The Old Republic, Aion: Tower of Eternity, Everquest, Runescape....some for a DECADE (looking at YOU World of Warcraft) and some for only a couple days (EQ and RS).

    Yes, I threw the chair out. I used it as an excuse for a new chair. :naughty:

    And as far as your tri-peeps go, at least they are doing something worthwhile and awesome. Something truly physically and mentally demanding. Video games isn't really either of those things. Though it does try your patience(working with people) and test your sleep depravity limits (I start hallucinating at 53 hours, no sleep).

    Soooo... Today was a fail. I've been horribly depressed and spent most of the day ugly-crying in my bed, almost hysterically at one point so that I couldn't breathe at all and started wheezing like I was dying. Good times. And then Mr. Susie and I went to Tamimi and bought baking ingredients and made cookies AND brownies. Yay me?

    Oh, and the best part? I have NO idea why I was crying. At all. I just woke up completely depressed with no known reason.

    Sorry your day was so lousy... hope Tuesday is MUCH better!
    So I'm at the ER with hubby right now. He's been having chest pains all day and I didn't want to chance it. :worried:

    Good call. Men can be so dismissive about health concerns. Better safe than sorry!

    Hope everything is okay...

    Its going to cost me nearly £1000 in flights and hotel (about $1500) for a week. It better be a beeping incentive!

    there is windsor half marathon on 27th September, but I'll have been back from holiday for 2 days, so i think that will be beyond me.

    there is a 5/10/15/20km walk/run/jog at Eton Dorney on 23rd January.

    (((Hugs))) to you!

    My vet doesn't do the paw prints... I've never heard of this before... I like it.

    Would you like a gross confession? I will give you a gross confession. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    There's this thing called 'baby brain' or 'pregnancy brain' which I thought was a bit of a myth but might just have something to it. I've found myself of late nearly leaving the house with no shoes on, or putting the milk in the oven and other such random things. I put it down to having more important/interesting/cute things to think about.

    Well the other night I went for a pee but forgot to pull my knickers down! I pulled down my trousers and just plain forgot I had knickers on at all. In my defense, they were tiny knickers and I can't see past my bump anymore. But still. Gross. Only noticed when I went to wipe. Argh! Knickers went straight in the washing machine. Thank goodness it was only a number one (they'd have gone in the bin!).

    Told you it was a gross confession.

    HAHAHA this is so funny.

    Gross confession: I did something similar once, but mine was because of alcohol... :blush:

    I am really embarrassed now that I was neither pregnant nor drunk when I made that error! Just in a hurry!

    No worries--I've done it a few times when I just couldn't hold it anymore! I would get to the bathroom in time, but not get "all the way" to the bathroom in time, if you know what I mean. :D Luckily I was always at home...

    See, this is another perfect example of how we all think we have been the ONLY one to do something super embarrassing, and at least 4 of us have now owned up to having done it before!

    I'm glad I started this whole pee-related confession now. I'm sure we all feel a lot of relief (pun intended).

    ETA: I just posted this on the internet and I want SO BADLY to take it back and delete it all because I fear judgement. But I'm not going to.....I need to own up to my learning experiences.
    I have learned, no video game is worth peeing yourself for.

    Back in my 20's I really, really liked this guy and in the early stages of our relationship we would talk on the phone a lot. One night we'd been talking for several hours and I had to pee SO bad, but I was too embarrassed about it to ask him to hang on for a few minutes, too infatuated to end the call... so eventually my bladder control failed and I leaked a little.

    No man is worth peeing yourself for.

    Since many of you are more up to speed on wedding etiquette stuff than I am... a question regarding how divorced parents are supposed to be arranged.

    My SO and his ex-wife have been divorced for many years and their daughter is getting married soon. The SO obviously has a partner, the ex-w does not.

    I have a nasty feeling that daughter is planning on seating the SO with his ex (based on a random remark she made recently)... is that the way it's supposed to be done? In other words, am I breaking some sacred law of wedding propriety if I protest this?

    Background: historically, daughter has cut me out of a few events which her mother would be attending, throwing her dad and his ex together. Her excuse is that having both her mother and me present would be "awkward".

    Very weird to put a divorced couple together although obviously it depends on their specific relationship. Wouldn't you want your guests to be as comfortable at your wedding and to avoid drama? We kept people as far away from each other as possible at ours who we knew would find it uncomfortable.

    So you'd think... but I kinda suspect that the whole "It's MY day" and therefore everyone should conform to some Brides magazine teenage wedding fantasy will be the prevailing attitude.

    I haven't raised it with SO yet as he's still away at work. I stay away from sensitive discussions while he's there, it would just add to his stress.

    We leave for Peru on Saturday!

    .

    I'm so jealous. You are going to have a great time. I think ( from my stalking) you are going to Machu Picchu right? It's beautiful. One of the best things I've ever done. If you are lucky and get there early you get to do the additional climb (can't remember the name of it) We missed it sadly but still really enjoyed the experience. Right - need to go find myself a new adventure now, this is making me crave one.
    Oh, and don't forget to try some guinea pig whilst you're over there....

    So, we're back home now. Hubby didn't have a heart attack (thank you God!), and the doctor thinks it was an esophageal spasm caused by reflux. We're following up with our family doctor and may need to see a GI specialist. He's still asleep, but he's feeling better and not in pain thanks to the morphine shot they gave him. Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts and prayers! <3

    Time for my REAL confession.
    I used to play World of Warcraft. Like hardcore raiding.
    I was in one of the top 10 raiding guilds for our server. I would sit and raid for HOURS. It was how my now ex-husband and I met. He was our raid leader for team B of DARK REIGN and then team A for Emo Kittenz and we were occasionally intermittent with Rhymes with Orange. If you know any of those guilds, I will be mildly impressed.
    I would NOT get up to use the restroom. Straight up, pee in a cup because "bio breaks were for n00bs" and one night, forgot my cup. I peed. Right there in my chair.

    The only shame came when it wasn't even worth it because we ended up with a full wipe of the raid and called it shortly after.

    So yeah, I peed myself for a VIDEO GAME. Talk about embarrassing....

    ETA: I just posted this on the internet and I want SO BADLY to take it back and delete it all because I fear judgement. But I'm not going to.....I need to own up to my learning experiences.
    I have learned, no video game is worth peeing yourself for.

    I didn't see you as a gamer. And I already told you people pee on the bike and run in tris (not me but they do, I'm not competitive enough to do that). So no judging from me. Did you throw the chair out? :)


    I missed this confession, but I am impressed by your commitment to the raid. (I get a headache every time I try to play WOW, something in graphics, but I get it because Mr.Mel used to play.)

    So after my sweet dog passed away on August 1, my mom and I (mainly my mom) decided to have her cremated. We were able to have her paw print made so we would always have that with us, as well. We got her ashes a week after she passed, but we just picked up her paw print that was made, and I almost started bawling my eyes out while leaving the vet.

    (((Hugs))) to you!

    My vet doesn't do the paw prints... I've never heard of this before... I like it.

    This is hysterical. I completely agree no man is worth peeing yourself for! I think that should be our new dating mantra!
