I SO want that shirt!! It's totally me. Also Mr. Jenni would love it, too.

I'm a complete jerk when I'm tired. We affectionately call my mood swing the "left turn to cranky." I completely understand the anxiety thing, too. If I'm feeling guilty about something (like not attending a class or something I feel I should go to) I get super anxious about returning to the class or whatever. I'd rather…

YAY!!! I'm so glad to hear your back is getting better!! I want to see Inside Out, too. I rarely go to the movies as it's such an expensive date here and I nearly always leave the theatre with a headache. I think I'm easily over-stimulated by loud audio and whatnot and it gives me a splitting headache. The last movie I saw…

He had a fully obstructed urethra and an ultrasound showed several other stones in his bladder (that were not the cause of the that specific blockage, but would definitely cause future painful, emergent blockages). The surgery to relieve the blockage wasn't actually sure to work....some cats reblock immediately. He was in…

I forgot to say congrats to @pofoster21 and @kellienw335 on the NSV's today!! Outstanding! Yay!!! I've recently been able to wear some jeans and work pants I'd put away about 4-5 years ago because I'd outgrown them. Yay for pants victories!! :smiley:

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I'm sending good thoughts your way and Sadie's way. Your poor mom! I lost my sweet 1 1/2 year old cat earlier this year to an emergency type situation and I'm still mourning him. I hope Sadie gets well and is able to come home soon. Hugs!

Oh interesting. I didn't know that... I may have to check Auntie Google to see what info I can find. :smiley:

I'm curious - to those who lift, do you wear a HRM to track calorie burn? I'm just curious about it because I recently got an HRM and was wondering whether the chest strap thing would get in the way if I was lifting.

@crosbylee Ohhhhh a scrimmage of football tonight!! How fabulous! I would cry. I think it's ok. :smile: I hope your son plays well and is feeling good about it tonight!

@KylerJaye What Mo said. Good grief. Also, glad you are back! We missed you and were thinking of you!!

Oh that's wonderful news! I'm hoping she rests and heals up very quickly. Thank you for the update!!!

Oh man, that's so scary. I will send good thoughts his way! My parents live in an area where wildfires are a real threat and they have had to evacuate in the past, too. It's so scary not knowing what might happen and praying the wind will work in the favor of the firefighters. (My dad was a wildland firefighter for years).…

@FroggyBug I hope your next session feels a bit more productive. I have had experiences with counseling that were helpful and others that were much less so. It totally depends on the counselor, my expectations, and my commitment to the process. I've never had a couples session, though, and think that would be especially…

Been thinking of you and your sister @Tubbs216 - thanks for the updates. I hope she heals quickly, completely and easily. Please keep us posted!

EEEEP! That sounds fun and stressful. But everyone will be having a great time, though, so probably not as much pressure. Take pics, though!! Want to see your little guy all dressed up for the event!

Have a great time!!

:( I'm definitely sending you healing thoughts. I hope you feel MUCH better soon!!

I hope it goes really well and that after you do this first session you'll feel more at ease about any future ones. Do make a list of things you'd like to discuss so that you don't forget. I'm terrible at remembering stuff especially when I'm anxious already (my brain goes into "say whatever so that you can get through the…

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry for your sister. How scary!! Please let us know how she's doing when you find out (though maybe you already have... I'm a couple pages behind). Hugs!

YAY!!! That is wonderful!! We got ours off of Amazon, I think? Worth every penny.

What a great workout!! Nice job!! I hope you got something filling to eat today, though. Your body probably wants some protein! You are doing such a great job. You'll be running that 1/2 marathon in no time!

@pofoster21 Thanks for the running advice! Going slow is sometimes hard for me because I just want to push it. (I played basketball and softball when I was younger, so am more of a sprint for short distances kind of athlete.) But I sure don't want an injury or to get discouraged from running, so I'm taking it slow. We are…

Happy birthday!!! I hope your day improves a ton and that you enjoy the heck out of your dinner tonight!! I'll be honest... I'm a grumpy brat if I have to work on my birthday. So I can understand being irritable....maybe that's all it is? I hope so for your waterpark enjoyment purposes this weekend. :-)

Party at POF's!! Count me in. I'd love to see NYC (I want to go to a Broadway show!!) AND go riding/exploring more out in nature in NJ or wherever.

I'm in! should this be something started in the bat cave? ETA: I haven't checked the bat cave yet, but will do so now. Ha! I bet somebody has started this thread by now!

Aw, @KylerJaye - I do understand all of that. It's horrible.. but grief bacon is much preferrable to any darker such thoughts. Stick with the alfredo sauce, for sure, and have some for me. Or save some for me. I think I can justify carb-loading for my very first couch-to-5K zombie training session today, right? Hugs to…

This all made me laugh out loud. I remember thinking "I'm pretty sure Mo means Idaho, but this could be funny when Quik sees it...." :wink:

Seconded!

Oh @KylerJaye , I'm so SO sorry. My heart breaks for you. You have no reason to be embarrassed about allowing someone in...about hoping that this one might work out...about trusting and giving. It takes immense courage to hope, to love, to open yourself because the risk of hurt is high. Your bravery WILL be rewarded…

Hi all! I was about 6 pages behind and have just caught up. I'm so glad @Susieq_1994 is feeling better! Are you still pain free today? I hope so! I miss Laura, too and hope the trip is going splendidly! @quiksylver296 - 9 days is a good streak! Keep it up if you feel like the alcohol is keeping you from your optimal…
