    I resolve to never ever open the "I am the woman in the freeweights section of the gym" thread again so long as we both do live (i.e., me login to MPF, it having people actively posting to it).

    JFC.

    I won't cringe when I see someone use "advise" instead of "advice". No wait it happens so often, that I consider cringing via this; to be an exercise. That's a positive thing, so why would I resolve; not to exercise?

    Okay I won't consider the cringing I do, from those that use "dose" instead of "does" exercise because that doesn't happen enough.

    Just don't screw up your face while cringing. It will stay that way. :s

    Effect/affect, do/due, then/than. To add to your exercise routine. Careful you don't get bulky. That is going to be a lot of exercise.

    Cheers, h.

    would of/could of vs would have/could have

    @Carlos_451 and @middlehaitch, so if I would have written with typos the both of you would of been effected that bad? Well 'scuse us internationals

    Just put your finger over the bottom part of my avi and you won't be able to tell the difference!

    Dear Tincan--Why??

    Honestly? Boredom.

    I kinda like it...and I'm kinda freaked in equal measure

    How titillating ;)

    Well, I'm not going to lie. I absolutely detest it. It freaks me out and it feels weird and my kids are cryingandthewifemovedoutandit'sallbecauseIshavedmybeard!!!!!!! It's already growing out.

    My Dad shaved his beard for the first time when I was about 4. Came in to kiss me good night and I completely lost my shiz. It took mum about an hour to calm me down and get me to understand the 'bad man' was daddy.

    Yeah, I made sure my daughter was there when I shaved and took frequent breaks to show her the progress to avoid that very scenario.

    I will probably still think less of people if they reply to an OP without reading the other replies.

    Sorry, not sorry.

    I'm sure your opinion of me must be in the gutter then @Orphia :bigsmile: because almost the only fun I now get out of foruming on MFP is thread bingo

    read OP
    answer
    read up and see who I've agreed with, disagreed with and unconsciously insulted

    since we are now devoid of any form of personality I must get my jollies somewhere

    @rabbitjb That just shows how awesome you are, because I've never noticed that.

    You always seem to come along and sum up the whole discussion perfectly as if you've read every post.

    I really should resolve to stop being such a rabbitjb fangirl. It's only the fact that you believe in acupuncture that stops me from creating my own rabbitjb altar to worship at. :smiley:

    You think I'm awesome (sung to the tune of Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality)

    Right back at you :)

    But seriously...acupuncture is a real thing

    Have you never seen the surgery clips?

    Warning ...shows real surgery

    @rabbitjb

    See http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116686

    I like this bit in particular. "It's not quite so much that Chinese patients feared death if they cried out, but much more that ingrained culture prevented them from insulting the surgeon by doing so."

    xoo

    I second the recommendation to read Simon Singh's "Trick or Treatment". It has a great history of the scientific method as a preview to its discussion of alternative medicine.

    After doing this ie: weight loss and then maintaining for 3 years, I promise to act my age and not buy into unrealistic promises of the latest style of eating.

    Late 2015 saw me turn into a frantic, frenzied and confused 'newbie'....when I should have known better.

    I vow to ask for advice sooner from those much wiser than me.

    Hurry before they're all gone.

    Haha! It actually doesn't bother me so much as I just like to joke around about it. I do shake my head in disbelief sometimes and think "Man, people are bad at this."

    Well wrote is a doozy. It's also ironic.

    This thread made my day brighter!

    I resolve to not have the urge to bash someone's head against a wall when I see posts like: "1200 calories is too much for me." Well, if you feel that way then why are you overweight? * takes deep breath to prevent assault and battery on poor plant on desk*

    If we are talking about spelling -
    I will never eat a donut - I will eat a doughnut.
    I will never eat yogurt - I will eat yoghurt.
    I will not see red when I see the word colour spelt color.
