Not really a ghost story, but a strange experience nonetheless. I was still in high school at the time, and was busing home after an *exceptionally* bad day (funnily enough, I don't remember what made my day so awful, just that it brutally sucked), and I remember sitting on the bus digging my nails into my palm to keep…

Not much of a feat in comparison to everyone else on this thread, but I can do 90+ squats with 20 lbs (which is a BIG step up from being on the verge of collapse after 10 unweighted ones, lol).

If I was a genie and could grant you ONE wish, what would you wish for? (and no, you can't wish for more wishes - OR genies!)

I mean, to each his own, but from what I understood this is primarily a site to keep track of your caloric/nutrient intake. There are plenty of online venues out there that cater specifically to people seeking a closer connection than that of accountabilibuddy... Now if you happen to meet the love of your life on here, who…

No, I wouldn't wait. In general, if you have to be more than two hours late for something, it's better to let the person know early on and postpone the meeting or raincheck on it altogether- just as a common courtesy for the person you're meeting with. I understand that sometimes last-minute cancellations happen, but to…

Squats and eat more protein.

Wow, a lot of people on here are such early-risers :open_mouth: In order for me to be functional and wake up 5AM, I'd have to go to bed at 10PM at the latest, which is rarely possible for me. Which is why I wake up at 7-7:30AM, do half an hour of yoga, and on the days that I do exercise more intensely, it ends up being an…

7:00pm sharp is my cut-off. Nothing but water goes into my system after that. I aim to be in bed around 10:30-11pm, but usually end up watching an episode of something, so the time I fall asleep is probably around midnight. When I wake up (~7-7:30am), I'm ravenous, but I get full really quick.

Veins and arteries. Don't know why (blood and other forms of gore don't disturb me), but just thinking about veins or arteries makes the hair on my neck stand up. If I see someone with bulging veins, I'll try my hardest not to look at them, cause it makes me uncomfortable on a physiological level. D:

It's not eating fats that'll make you fat, it's eating too much calories that'll do it. However, being lax with your fat intake will certainly contribute to the latter.

The Ring is the movie that initiated me into the horror genre. I love horror now, but the first time I watched The Ring, 7-year-old me had sleep troubles and a bit of phone-phobia for a week. No other movie since has managed to scare me sleepless like that one did. Good times.

I second that. There are a number of DC characters I'm quite fond of (Joker, Green Arrow, and Spectre to name a few), but I like the Marvel universe better :)

I have no idea. My diet consists primarily of whole grains, fruits and veggies, and I've never once hit my potassium goal. :neutral: Maybe the system's botched.

I don't tell people outside of MFP that I work out on a regular basis. The more people I fool into thinking that I just look like this, the better I feel about myself.

Do you people even sleep? :o It's Saturday, so no alarm for me! But my bio clock will probably have me out of bed by 8.

Fantasy, sci-fi, and horror is where it's at for me. Give me Lovecraft, Wells, Tolkien, Stephen King, C.S. Lewis...you get the idea.

My main suggestion is to not eat at restaurants in the first place. 1) It's difficult to know exactly how many calories you are getting per portion/serving, even if the place offers you that information (after all, you're not there when they make it, so you're taking it all on faith that they're staying true to the…

Nope, but then you can't really lose what you never had to begin with, haha!

It's Monday, it's morning, and I'm caffeine-intolerant.

Yup!

Northern Alberta here. I swear I've seen people in t-shirts and flip flops outside even when it's below 30. They must lack thermoreceptors or something.

Snakes are fine, as long as they aren't of the human variety.

The only time I'll call someone is if we're meeting in a public space and I can't find them. Talking on the phone seems pointless beyond that. If we need to discuss something at length, I'd rather do it face-to-face. Texting suffices for everything else.

My pride. And, at the moment, money...can't afford to change my wardrobe by going up or down a size.

In a word, yes. In several words, they're eye-catching, but not necessarily attention-holding.

Greetings from Edmonton!

Yes, and it's not surprising given that most people don't even know what genetic modification entails. If they did, they'd know it's not all sterilized lab settings, radiation-induced mutations, mutagen injections and freaky hybridization. People have been genetically selecting and breeding organisms since the beginning of…

Single in the womb, single til the tomb.

In this day and age, there are so many foods out there that are basically caloric bombs and so many preparation methods that can make the healthiest of salads into a recipe for heart attack that if it's a simple matter of putting on some pounds, it's totally doable. Drink lots of sugary drinks, fry your grains instead of…
