    I confess to never having seen any one of the Star Wars movies in its entirety. I further confess that brings me great joy.

    Some of the things that I haven't done that I'm proud of:

    I have never:

    -Worked out with a giant inflatable ball
    -Said “we’re pregnant”, whatevs, ginormous, “that’s fab”, brain fart, or delish
    -Worn a do-rag
    -Participated in a fantasy football league
    -Done the Macarena
    -Worn Vibram 5 finger shoes
    -Owned a little yippy gerbil-type of dog
    -Posted a Facebook status update with the hope that Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg were going to give me free money
    -Posted a cliffhanger Facebook message to draw sympathy or create curiosity, ie, “At the hospital :( “ or “Worst day of my life!” and then disappeared for the rest of the day.

    You guys are all white, why is this an accomplishment? Not wearing something that has a useful purpose for individuals from a different race is something to be proud of?

    Two words: Melungeon hair. A do rag serves the same purpose for me it does "for a person of a different race".

    My husband hides his sweetie stash so I don't find it and pig out. Normally works brilliantly but sometimes I find the stash, EAT IT ALL and then he finds a new hiding place. Today I found the stash and I put it out in the rubbish being collected tomorrow. I feel guilty but if I'd eaten it all he still wouldn't have had any...right? :)

    I find it easier to write his name on it. If something definitely belongs to someone else, I wont take it without asking and I certainly wouldn't eat it all.
    But, no, he wouldn't have had any either way.


    Edit to add: Marissa, I don't like the way my reply sounded. I am mixed race - specifically Melungeon which should be an ethnicity all its own, in my opinion. My skin is an olive "white", but hair is very definitely not a white person's hair. I wear do rags because I need them occasionally.

    I confess that I just googled "Melungeon".
    Interesting.

    My family is definitely that. My oldest brother has a red afro, olive skin like mine and freckles.


    What you and nonoelmo said were pretty spot on. I wasn't claiming offense, just curious why it's an accomplishment.

    I'd love to see a photo of his hair.

    I have never:

    Experienced online dating
    Watched Glee
    Had a bowl haircut
    Worn a fauxhawk
    Liked Sesame Street

    Well I can join you in all these except Sesame Street. I loved SS. I loved Mr. Snuffalufagus. (SP?).

    He was my favorite too!

    I tried online dating
    Watched Glee one time
    Never had a bowl haircut or a fauxhawk

    I have never

    Watched The Real Housewives of Anywhere or Keeping up with Anyone

    I've never watched the Real Housewives or Keeping up with whoever but I do think both have been on in the cardio room at the gym (I don't think that counts since I really wasn't watching even if I'd had control of it).

    I've also never watched:
    any "Swap" shows
    How I met your mother
    Game of Thrones
    99% of everything else on TV

    I've seen Keeping up with.. a few times.
    No to all the others listed.

    I do like reality tv though.. :grimace: a little too much. And that is a confession...

    I've confessed that before in here too, I know! I love terrible TV. It's all TLC and cooking competitions and Animal Planet at my house, all the time, and I have no shame.

    My favorite was paradise island (very old).

    I remember that one!

    Confession: I HATE when I make a hard-boiled egg and the middle of the yolk isn't quite done. EEEWWWwwwww!

    I hate when my eggs don't peel right. What is the deal with that?? Some peel easily, and others peel in tiny pieces that take forever. I get irrationally annoyed when an egg doesn't peel easily.

    Harlie has gotten more than one whole egg because it wouldn't peel right and I got totally po'ed! Just threw the whole thing, peel and all, in her bowl.

    Same. I didn't love Snuffalupagus, tho. Oscar, gotta be Oscar and his pet worm, Slimy.

    If you wake up in the morning feeling grumpy
    And you browner everybody that you see
    If you like your oatmeal nice and cold and lumpy
    Then you're a grouch, like me.

    I make beer (IPAs) apart of my daily intake. I sometimes work out extra hard or eat less so I can have beer. I'm sure I would have lost much more weight than I have if I didn't enjoy my beers.

    Eh, if you make it fit your calories, it's fine unless you're one of those people who eats too much when they drink.

    Met my husband online.
    Loved the first season of Glee
    Loved Sesame Street for myself and my kids. Luckily, that was eons before Cookie Monster changed his ways.

    I never knew cookie monster changed his ways... how sad.

    Yes, he eats baby carrots now too. It's just wrong!

    If I can find the photo I have from when it was long, I will post it. He keeps it high and tight now because he's going to be 60 next week.

    Also:
    never said "Hashtag"

    I have:

    -Participated in a fantasy football league - I Do this! and actually won the trophy last year, and came in a very close second this year!
    -Done the Macarena

    I've said "hashtag".
    I've also said "YOLO"

    Ha!

    If I say YOLO it's very sarcastic. And also mocking this generation that uses it as a legitimate word.

    I have a shirt that says "YOLO" and has a kitty with a question mark over it's head. I (not so) secretly enjoy when people don't understand it.

    If I can't have it in the house, he doesn't bring it home. If he brings it home and I find it, it's fair game for the trash can. My husband knows that... yours will learn. Haha!

    Thank you both I feel better about it now :)

    Great idea! I'll try that to stop it happening again :)

    Fresh eggs will not peel. Let them hang out in your fridge for a week or two

    Pardon? I only keep boiled eggs for a few days......

    I *think* she meant the raw eggs, not boiled. I DO keep my boiled eggs for quite a while, though, if I haven't peeled them right after boiling. Unpeeled, they last a long time. Peeled, they start to smell a bit funky after a while.

    She meant the raw ones. I never bother boiling just-bought eggs. I pick them up a week in advance. They always peel super easily when they're "old."

    In my teen years, it was "cool" in some groups to wear one whether you actually needed it or not.
    White dudes, bald dudes, these dudes, those dudes...

    I never went full do-rag but did wear a bandana a few times.

    Wow, thread revived . Well done people!:-)
    small confession - despite being almost completely skint and having better uses for my money, I bought myself a fitbit yesterday (and I have no regrets)
    secondary confession - I am now doing absolutely nothing productive in work as I'm too busy playing with said fitbit!
