I will never be a size 8. I'm too big now to envision being anything but plus size. (I'm doing my best to lose weight and go down sizes. I just dream in smaller chunks. :smile: ) I don't find the idea that people of a "type" offensive. (Though people who mentioned that size fluctuates and if size was the main criteria of…

I'd tell you, but then I'm afraid you'd get nightmares....

The only spirit I want contact with is The Holy Spirit. I do believe in a spirit world, and I trust in God to protect me from it.

Chariots of Ire Angry Romans settle their differences battling it out for pink slips of one another's rides.

When I was a little girl, my daddy PROMISED me I'd get chest hair if I ate enough horseradish. No matter how much horseradish I put on my meat, I never grew any. And yes, nowadays, I'm thankful he was wrong. Chest hair sounded so much cooler when I was four years old....:laugh:

My thyroid issues.... Hmmm... I could be here typing all day! :tongue: Long story short.... About ten years ago I was feeling so fatigued that I was worn out from walking from one side of the room to the other. I remember picking up a book from my mom's house and needing to rest from the walk from the front door to the…

I should be ashamed to admit this, but I will. My husband gives me my Synthroid every morning when he wakes up. This way HE remembers that I have taken it and I don't get confused and skip or double dose. (He's a good guy. He doesn't seem to mind helping me in this way. I try to remember this on days that he isn't feeling…

You are doing great, Penelope! With a plan like that, YOU will be the one giving the motivation! :flowerforyou:

egg white ham and cheese (pepperjack and cheddar) omelette with an apple on the side.

You are overworked and stressed. It's hard to be "giving" to someone else when you are spent. I agree that it isn't his fault. I hope he sees a doctor and they get to the source of the problem. In the meantime, hiring someone part time may ease your stress up enough so that you can be less frustrated and more empathetic…

I don't mind cooking. Plus, if I had a housekeeper, wouldn't she or he clean up the mess in the kitchen after I cook? :wink:

Perhaps he thinks you are doing this to look good for him, and you already look good to him so he is discouraging you from putting yourself through all this work. Make it clear that this is about YOUR health and YOUR desire to do more things, wear different clothes, whatever your own goals are. Maybe then he won't feel…

Chicago!

I've almost lost a small bale of hay!

Don't you like egg whites?

Where I live, teachers are required to report any suspicion of child abuse to DCFS, or we could lose our license. We get "training", which in my opinion, gives examples of children saying things which may or may not be abuse. When in doubt, we are to call DCFS and let them determine if the child is being abused or not. I…

Ditto!

Spread a table spoon on nutrigrain lowfat waffles. Slice an apple and place on waffles. Slice a banana over it. It's like having dessert for breakfast!

I'm partial to animal prints. Electric leopard.

None here. I gave considered getting a yellow rose in honor of my mother, with a butterfly to symbolize resurrection, but I just can't seem to do it. Too ironic. My mother didn't like tattoos...

My first celebrity crush was Mr. Rogers. I was four. No, I'm not kidding...

I agree COMPLETELY! Pack your bags and stay with a friend for the next month. (I'm assuming you are living together... If not, just don't answer the door for him nor take his calls.) Even if he is being "playful" (I really don't see how being called names and slapped is being playful. but maybe that's why I married a man…

I don't like text speak abbreviations like "LOL", or "LMAO", or "LMFAO". I understand when actually texting, but I don't think it is appropriate otherwise. That is probably because I often end up having to look them up. (No, not the forementioned ones.) A ham sandwich made with cinnamon raisin toast, spicy brown mustard…

Santa Claus. He is the only famous person I ever met, but he was very nice. He even let me sit and his lap and tell him what I wanted for Christmas! :wink:

~Name: Love of My Life ~Relationship: Husband ~Physical: The way he smiles at me... The way he holds me.... The taste of his lips.... ~Non-Physical: His sense of humor.... His sweet loving nature... He treats me so well...

I'm assuming you need to get a sitter for your daughter, and need to know for what time, since the schedule wasn't firmed up. I don't think you should play games (though he very well may be.. or not...). I think you should text him "Are we on for tomorrow? What time? I need to arrange a sitter. If I don't hear from you by…

Sixteen years married, and there are topics that either I need to squash in the bud, or realize that he's in a mood, and let him have his say and ask if he's done, then say "that's nice..." and walk away. Though sometimes he asks me questions and I have to say "I'll listen, but I won't participate in this discussion..." I…

I only defriend people when I check on them in their profile and see they have deleted their account. Otherwise, people need to know their friends are there for them once they get back. I had one "friend" who posted things I found offensive to my wall. I deleted them and pmed her to stop. She later deleted her account.

Let your gf know that you understand that your mom hurt her feelings, but your mom will ALWAYS be part of your life. Ask her if she can deal with that. If the answer is no, hug her and tell her goodbye. If the answer is yes, ask her if she wants a heads up if you see any potential clashes between them or to just let them…
