Also I used to be a Girl Scout and sell cookies, but back then we didn't have Savannah Smiles (and I thought tagalongs and do-si-dos were peanut butter sandwiches and peanut butter patties?). I wish we had those because my name is Savannah and it might have helped me promote the cookie :sunglasses:

If I'm shown by a woman I imagine I'd be a bit more comfortable :lol: I'd probably be comparing my body to her's and feeling embarrassed about it, but if she's nice then I could probably handle the selfconsciousness. You're a great example on your nieces and the 7 year old's comment was really adorable. Thanks for your…

I'm one of the only people I know who hates Cadbury eggs. To me they are sweet to the point of making me nauseous. As a child I would give them away to my siblings :confounded:

I agree that weight lifting is really interesting to me. I love all the results the ladies around here are getting! What's stopping me is anxiety... I just cannot bring myself to wander into the weight section with all those big men. I'm thinking about making my own, relatively cheap weights at home. Has anyone done this?…

I love bananas. I could probably eat a whole bunch in a day easily. And I just weighed myself and had to gape at the scale. It said I was down seven pounds from last night. I repositioned the scale, got back on, and now I'm seven pounds up again. The weight slides back on SO easily. :lol:

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 :lol: Still... EW. Now I'm going to be extra paranoid around…

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…

For some reason I have been in the Batcave and thought it was this thread :confounded: 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…

I think the bugs in my pantry might be weevils... maybe young weevils. It looks like that's my best bet. I'm going to throw out everything tomorrow and wipe down my panty with vinegar and do a thorough cleaning. Will be following this post's advice: http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-prevent-get-rid-of-grai-140955 I don't…

I can't tell, but I don't think so. They are really small and light brown but almost see-through. Are pesticides ok to have around food? Can you recommend a product to me? I'll try to find one again. I tried looking up pictures on Google but I couldn't find a match :( Edit: I found one crawling around in my baking soda…

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…

Thanks to both of you! :blush: Luckily I was actually entertained by the tennis game. One of the players got really mad and went on a brief strike against the umpire... he just sat there in a chair and the other player sat up in the stands. Then he proceeded to go back to the game after getting some penalty strikes for…

I'm about to go to a tennis game with my boyfriend and his parents, and I'm having one of those days where I feel extremely ugly and am scared to reveal my face to the world. I've been breaking out lately (stress?) and just feel gross and fat and unsightly. Hoping for a quick and painless tennis game... it's my first one.

I saw a video of Chinese people eating ''Chinese'' food in America. Some of them were very confused. Some said ''It's very good, but I don't see how this is Chinese." One of these days I'm going to have some real Chinese food :lol:

There's this place in Montreal that makes really really delicious Pad Thai, a Cashew Nut Chicken dish, and Curry. Stuff is delicious and the cooks are all from Thailand and I thought it seemed pretty authentic. Almost EVERY time I ask for ''extra spicy" at a restaurant the person taking my order is like ''Are you sure?…
-
Thank you!! I hope so, too. I took a nap today and had a whirlwind of nightmares, so I'm hoping that doesn't come up again tonight :lol: My boyfriend and I are thinking about going to see The Gift, and then Mission Impossible sometime next week :tongue: I'm also confused by this curry talk.... because I love curry, but I…

This morning I called the doctor and said I was given advice to wait to take any medical exams, and she was completely understanding and asked me if I would like to postpone my appointment until the Immigration Office asks for it. I apologized profusely but she said it was no trouble... but I still feel horrible at doing…

When I was little we had several guinea pigs in our house. They all died off eventually (mine, the daddy, was the last to go!), but every time one died my mom would ask me if I wanted to see them one last time before she buried them. For some reason I was very disturbed at seeing their corpses and never took her up on that…
-
I wish you luck in finding out what's wrong. I'm glad you feel better right now!
-
Apparently getting tested now and sending it in with the application does speed up the process, but it may expire before they are done processing my application and then I'd have to get a blood test again. My boyfriend just informed me that I might have to get a second one no matter what I do. I'm sitting here after a few…
-
Ok guys I JUST found out that I'm better off cancelling my appointment for tomorrow... because the medical check is only valid for a certain amount of time, so I will have to take another one in the future if my permanent residence application is not dealt with fast enough. I want to cancel the appointment.... problem is I…
-
Thank you guys for all of your support. I really appreciate it and I'm sorry if I come across as being whiny or pathetic. I will most definitely be asking them to lay me down, as I'm sure they don't want a cracked skull on their hands :lol: It's weird- tattoos don't particularly scare me and I think I might be able to deal…

I love me some bubble tea! A lot of people hate the tapioca, but I actually love the texture quite a bit. And my appointment is coming up tomorrow and I am getting so freaking nervous. Last night I panicked and tried to look up all these tricks on stopping anxiety from phobias, etc. Just reading about "needle phobia" made…
-
Yesss. I was thinking just that. I'm dreading tomorrow because tomorrow I will be dreading Friday, which is when my appointment is :( I might go to the movie theater by myself at around 12 just to relax. And drink a lot of bubble tea or something.
-
Apparently the place I'm going to is actually a very highly rated doctor in my city, I just freaked out over this one bad review when ALL of the other ones are very positive. And I wish my mom could come hold my hand :tongue: Also, I'm very sorry about your scary childhood experience. :( That sounds traumatizing. When I…
-
I do plan on having kids, and in fact I want more than one. I'm terrified of blood tests but the thought of having a kid someday makes it seem very much worth it. I'm definitely going to promise myself something nice afterwards, thinking bubble tea and maybe even a movie (though my appointment is at 10 AM...). Hearing that…
-
It's funny because I was just about to reply to this thread saying that my mouth is in SO much pain... whenever I try to eat anything (which I probably shouldn't... that bag of chips contained a LOT of calories). I had two cups of coffee and both of them hurt a lot, so now I'm regretting that whole fiasco. They were heaven…
-
I didn't heed your warning either :tongue: I'm ok with hearing about the snipping of flesh (though I'm terribly sorry you have to go through all of that, happy that your cancer is gone though! It's no joke) and stitching of wounds for some reason. The burning of veins bothers me a lot more. I think I have a problem with…
-
The thing about your mom- that's so sweet of you and your sister!! Crazy how you two didn't inherit that fear after watching her struggle though that kind of thing... though now that I think of it, my mom doesn't mind needles either (well, she is a nurse :lol: ). We can't choose our fears! You're an excellent daughter.…
-
Exactly :lol: Almost always my mom. ''What's wrong, sweetie?" "MOMMY!!! :cry: " Oh come on, that's the most unfair question of all time! Who in their right mind indeed :lol: I am pretty ok at memorizing things, but when it comes to thousands of dates (like in my Art History class), I start to get lost. Especially since you…
