"Shalimar" is a BEAUTIFUL smell. (Reminds me of my Momma... It was her favorite) "Love's Baby Soft" smells like Christmas! "Beautiful" is my personal favorite. (My husband buys it for me for gifts.) "Addict" has a nice unusual smell. "Red Door" is the one I get the most compliments on.

Oh wow! I'm definitely going to try these! Especially the thin mint! Think you could invent a "Samoa" shake? (I didn't buy any Girl Scout cookies this year, and thin mints and samoas are my favorite.)

Prayer sent.

Just be pleasant and tell him you are happy with your healthy choices. You won't change him, and you do want a pleasant working environment. He probably thinks he was being pleasant, and if he is told you are happy eating healthy food, may believe you and not bother you. If he is just a jerk, you won't change him, and it…

Sounds good!

A friend of mine had this link on her wall. http://marysforkandspoon.blogspot.com/search?q=eggplant I think the mini eggplant pizzas look just good enough for me to actually try eggplant on purpose! :smile:

I would rather my husband didn't go to a strip club, but to say he isn't "allowed" is demeaning, and frankly, I think would make a man think he HAD to go in order to prove a point. My husband doesn't "hang out" in strip clubs and I'm glad, but if he was invited to a bachelor party or was hanging out with friends, I realize…

At that point, eyeballing it is the best you can do, BUT if you have measured at home for a while, you should be able to make pretty close estimates.

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!

For me, it has been a cycle of giving up once I "fail" on a day, believing that I just "can't" do it because I had that slice of cake (donut, bagel, cookie......) and then totally falling off the wagon. I'm working on forgiving myself and giving myself the pep talk I'd give a friend (in my head, of course. Talking to…

Great ideas! I have more jars than I know what to do with. Some hold pennies, nickels, or dimes. Sometimes I use it to put grease in so that it doesn't clog up my sink. I REALLY like the fresh herb idea! Dirt or water?

BUMP!!!!! :bigsmile:

I've been at this since September. I started measuring instead of eyeballing most things in January, and miscalculated the "cup" I was using (I was actually using a mug) by a half cup. That IS a big difference when logging in 3 glasses of milk some days. It's an underestimate of 120 calories. Plus, I used the same "cup"…

It seems like the only thing holding your friendship together was drinking. I think you need to make new friends. I like the suggestion made earlier to offer to be a designated driver and abstain from drinking alcohol and nibble. If you eat a healthy snack before you go, you may nibble less. If they accept your offer to be…

I don't think you are a *****. I think you are uninformed. My doctor wants me to have weight loss surgery. I refuse because I am frightened of surgery. He wants me to do gastric bypass, but was willing to "compromise" with lap band. I'm sorry. My mom had issues after surgery. (Not weight loss surgery, but still...). The…

Believe it or not, I see your point. Why do I LOVE a good steak, but would cry at the thought of eating venison? Why are roasted Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurkey among my favorites, but I couldn't stick a fork in Thumper? I don't know. I know I'm inconsistent. Sorry.

My daddy was a man, and so is my husband. I could be here all day listing their fine qualities. I'm sure they aren't the only good ones, they are just the ones I've known best.

Okay, I may be the only one, but I FREAKED OUT with "dolphin/mahi-mahi". I had to look it up. Mahi mahi IS a dolphin fish, but not dolphin as in Flipper. Picture of Dolphin fish Sorry if I'm the only one who didn't know that, but I just wanted to share that in case anyone else reading this thread almost cries over eating…

I marinate the salmon. I found this recipe online, and it is REALLY good. If you don't think you'd like salmon, I'm sure it would work with other fish, though tilapia and cod would probably need to be marinating for less time than salmon. Teriyaki Salmon Filet Salmon Teriyaki Preparation Time: 2-3 hours
Microwave Time: 3…

bump

massage? pedicure? facial? Ask a friend to use their hot tub? A trip to the nearest beach?

Dang, I was going to make the same offer, but you beat me to it. I guess I have to go with my original plan: discovering an exercise to make my butt fat move to my breasts.

I was thinking along the lines of "hair flip" or "flipping the bird". Short for "flippant" maybe? :ohwell: I guess as long as she doesn't "flip" me, I'm not too worried about it.

See, now I just make a theatrical gesture with my hands and say "POOF!!! You're a sandwich!"

Socially, I overlook it all. I don't always proofread my posts here, either, so I try not to judge. (:"Loose" for "lose" makes me cringe, but I consider that my problem. ) But when it comes to conducting business, I think people should be able to use the correct homophone and write "should have" instead of "should of",…

Thin, HAIRY legs.... :tongue:

"Woman" is not an insult. I am proud to be a woman! WOMEN ROCK! But don't call me "B****h". :noway: That word will then have a WHOLE new meaning by the time I'm through with you.

Plain over a baked potato or turkey taco instead of sour cream.

BUMP
