It never fails that when I'm running late for work, every other person in my city wants to go at least 5 miles below the speed limit. They're so inconsiderate of my tardiness. Jerks.0

OMG, I drive angry almost every morning because Syracuse is full of these people. Why doesn't anybody move with purpose?! It makes me all stabby.0 -
At least you didn't have a jerk running up the right hand shoulder passing people illegally and putting himself and others at risk for an accident.0

Gotta love Texas drivers.
My goal most mornings is to make it to work alive (main and most important goal), and to make it to work without cussing someone out.

I'm TOM crabby today. People better stay out of my way. Oh, wait. Today is the day I finally meet THE attorney general, my big boss. (I'll have been at this job a year on Nov 10th and I'm just now meeting the big boss.) Guess I better start faking a good mood...

Ouch. One of the good things about having small boobs. They're rarely in the way.
True that. I'd hit my nose or my chin before I ever had any boob contact.

It's been raining all week. Oh noes! The road is wet! I had better slow down to at least 10 mph below the posted limit! Aargh!!!0 -

These people make me crazy. I try to leave my house 5-10 minutes before I have to because if them and also because school buses pick up elementary kids within 5 minutes of my scheduled start time and I want to be in front of them.0 -

So, I live in a mountainous rural area...some of our roads really do require slower speeds when they are wet or you may end up off the cliff or in the river. Followed by a very expensive helicopter ride to the trauma center I work for.0 -

Yeah, I definitely get that. That's not the case here...0 -

This happened here the other day. It was just rain, for Pete's sake! I always dread the first snowfall of the year, it's guaranteed I will be late for work.0 -

It's amazing what a difference 5 minutes can make. If I can leave between 7:15 & 7:20, traffic is pretty good and people are moving. It'll take me 20ish minutes to get to work Leave at 7:25? Everyone drives 10-20 under the limit and it'll take 30+ minutes to get to work.0 -

This is definitely true! In addition to the school buses, I drive by both middle schools and the high school on my way to work. The doors open at both at 7. If I leave 5 minutes late, I meet all of the teens and teachers on the road. No, thanks!

GROSS! I am *so* brainwashed about washing my hands thanks to JCAHO rules. Community acquired (insert disease here) is usually easily prevented by hand washing. And a lot of hospital acquired infections are the same. Hand washing is the best medical advance in human history.0 -
I will eat things like yogurt past the best before date if it was unopened & doesn't smell/look bad. I use the best before as a suggestion as well - besides, just because that date hasn't passed doesn't automatically mean it's good. I've opened milk and it's been bad, even though it was days before the expiry.
My husband thinks all yogurt is by definition rotten anyway. He says " how can you tell if it's to rotten" I must mention that he doesn't like yogurt. He is confused on some topics and this is one of them.0 -

If you aren't cussing while driving, you aren't paying attention!!LOL!0 -

Gross is right. I work for a hospital and they drill into our heads every single day the importance of hand hygiene. We have secret shopper type people who hang around and make sure you wash your hands properly after using the restroom. And every day the "hand hygiene" number, or percentage of people observed who are doing it properly, is displayed on the front page of our website. Today's hand hygiene number is 96%. You'd think this would be at 100%, what with this being a hospital and all.0 -

Having two little kids, I have greatly reduced my cursing, and the only lapses over the past few years have been while driving! People that don't acknowledge a "lane ends, merge right" sign posted 1 mile ahead and cause traffic jams trying to get over 100 yards before the merge, people going slower than the speed limit on the highway for some inexplicable reason during rush hour, stand still traffic caused by people slowing down to gawk at a police car pulling someone over or a guy changing a tire, failure to use a blinker, failure to give a courtesy wave because I let someone over when I really didn't have any obligation to do so, etc...0 -
My version of the Confessions Bingo!!
I have only used dry mix to top ice cream.
I have taken something back out of the trash, it was still in the unopened original container.
I like PB, but not enough to need to drown a jar, Nutella, that might be possible.
I wear work out clothes once usually, the bra sometimes gets two rounds.
I have not worn a sauna suit, but I have an ab belt type thing, no electrodes there, and have tried just about every diet aside from the Jenny Craig type stuff and surgery. Quick Weight Loss actually works, but it is impossible to eat like that the rest of your life....
confession bingo
I have eaten dry coco from the container. It was Nesquik as a child. Mom was not amused, since there was evidence all over tie kitchen.
I can't ever remember taking anything back out of the trash, but I wouldn't put it past me if my mom had thrown my candy away.
I buy peanuts ground up, touch my peanut butter and there will be trouble. I stopped buying Nutella since our boys left because it calls to me.
I sweat to much to wear workout clothing more that once, I don't like putting wet clothing on when I am dry.
What is a sauna suit?
I am abysmally poor about following someone else's plan on how I should eat. It ends in epic fails. I must be able to eat what I want and make choices as they come.

I have such scorn for people who fail to hand wash, that guy from the gym exits the bathroom and then touches weights and machines with his poop bacteria-ridden hands. He is probably in his 40s, wtf has gone wrong in his life that he can't engage in the most basic personal and public hygiene activity, hand washing, something that my 4 year old knows he is supposed to do every time he goes potty?0 -

I had Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream for breakfast. No excuses!
MFP is over worked with trying to get me to eat on it's schedule because, I' m so not like that.0 -

I could definitely taste.the stevia more than the chocolate. However, my husband liked the coconut one - I am allergic to coconuts so definitely wasn't eating it. I am going to try one of the fruit flavors next and hope it's better.
I just tried the coconut one the other day and microwaved it because of a discussion in the bat cave. It was lovely and made my tummy so warm and happy. I defiantly will get more.0 -

Agreed. I bartended my way through university and I cannot deal with people who don't wash their hands. The habit is too ingrained in me to wash them whenever I pass a sink.0 -

My neighbor brought me 2 bunches of bananas that were close to being too ripe to eat, so I made banana bread. It is so yummy! (Especially the loaf I made with pecans and chocolate chips!) Thankfully it is going pretty quickly at work, so I won't have to eat it all!
Sounds so good, I would have to take something like that to work also, or I'd be doomed.
Speaking of bananas....
I have a food dryer that I love. Many years back I had bought 3 lbs of very ripe bananas for real cheap and put them in the dryer. That many usually takes 2 days to dry while flipping them once halfway through. I was very happy with the results. I quickly threw them in a zip lock bag and only took a small amount with me to work. People were curious about them so I shared them knowing I had a bunch at home that I could enjoy.
When I got home I looked everywhere for them. EVERYWHERE. They were not to be found.
When hubby got home, I asked him if he had seen them.
His eyes widened and said "BANANAS, Oh don't even talk to me about bananas. I came home after work yesterday and I was starving and I saw the bananas and just started eating them. I ate the whole bag." I commented to him that he had eaten what used to be 3 lbs. of bananas. I was more than a bit peeved. He continued "I suddenly got real thirsty, so I drank a lot of water." I knew what came next. "Oh, the pain. I thought I was going to explode. I had 3 lbs. of bananas looking for a new home!" It was punishment enough.
To this day, my dried bananas are safe from him.0 -

Last night I was watching this new show on the ID Channel True Nightmares, & they had this case on about a quack 'doctor' Linda Hazzard who ran a starvation clinic Wilderness Heights in the early 1900s. Basically she claimed that starving yourself would rid yourself of toxins; unfortunately, 40 of her victims died.
