  • That is not selfish at all.... There is only so much you can put into helping someone that doesn't really want to do the work. Until they hit that magic place that forces them to realize the HAVE to make the change, you can't force them to do it. I know it's hard, but you will make it!
  • Does it count if I was doing my daughters? She waited and waited and waited.... then yesterday sent her paperwork home with her brother so I could do it! I finally hit submit at 11:31 last night.... UGH!
  • This is kind of what I want for my next tattoo.... Although I want the anchor to be a little less boxy, more antique looking.... and instead of the flowers it will be monarch butterflies with a ribbon that has my sister Sara's name.
  • no need to go past #1... am I too late for the position?
  • OMG, which one should we discuss now.... well let's talk about the guy who had absolutely nothing original to say. In the 2 hours we were together he told me the same story about his daughter and ex-wife at least 4 times! Showed me the same picture of his house in Maine at least twice, and talked about how he was getting…
  • I have been depressed the last couple of weeks because a lot of my work clothes were starting to fit differently, a little tight :cry: Today I put on my fav pair of dress pants and they are back to being loose! Still not as loose as I would like, but it is definitely better than it has been!
  • So in looking for some pics of my tat's all I could find is this one.... it's not the best quality, and it was the day it was done so my ankle is a bit swollen!

  • I currently have 3, with plans for at least 3 more.... but knowing me as I research the ones I know for sure that I want, I'm finding even more ideas that I LOVE! My first is a culmination of several things.... I chose an antique looking wooden cross, and at the top it has a cancer ribbon, with 2 lilies at the bottom. The…

  • If I get a request from someone I don't recognize as having seen somewhere on the message boards, or on a friends wall posts.... and if they don't send a message with the request, I will absolutely turn them down. I'm not a collector, and want to be able to get to know my FL peeps, so I don't want the FL getting out of…
  • I'm responsible for becoming fat.... as a child growing up I ate healthy and moved a ton! As I got older I still ate healthy, but became less active. I let other things get in the way of maintaining a complete and healthy lifestyle.
  • Find a way to fit in the real deal every now and again. It will not hurt you. On the other hand if you find you want it all the time, I recently found an amazing protein smoothie by Bolthouse Farms. It is soooooooooooooooo good!
  • I don't have a pit, however, a very good friend of mine has 4. They are amazing dogs.... every time I go to visit they each take their turns playing with my little one and I. They are incredibly smart and wonderful family dogs....
  • My favorite chicken recipe is simple and flavorful, I have it at least once a week. A sprinkle of parmesan cheese (1-2 tbs depending on size of the breast I use), and about 1 tsp of Salad Supreme, then bake. Simple easy, and goes with so many different sides!
  • I have 2.... and am just too shy to FR.:blushing:
  • Duct Tape.... I love duct tape. Can I play too??
  • I don't normally partake in the fun.... this year I wanted to get my son, but just haven't had the time to get it in order. I have a feeling that when I get home he will have one lined up for me though :grumble:
  • I have actually found that homemade sweet potato chips are fabulous and pretty easy to make. Using a mandolin slicer makes a huge difference as well because you will have a uniform slice. After I have sliced the potato (leaving the skin on) I toss in a TSP of EVOO, and add a little sea salt (sea salt goes a very long way)…
  • Most definitely a good spanking.
  • To make it fun and healthy try fruit pizza.... take a Pilsbury pizza crust and but a sweet cream cheese mix (I know so far not so healthy) then add sliced kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges..... any fun fruit you want. It's great and the kids LOVE it.
  • ^^This, and try calorie counting.
  • That dressing is amazing.... I have even used it to marinade chicken before grilling it!
  • One of the great parts of MFP is that there is a recipe builder that will provide the information for all your fav recipes. There are 2 problems I have with it.... the time to actually sit down and enter all my recipes, so I'm basically doing them as I need to, and second is a serving size. It really only gives you the…

  • leftovers :wink: Burger (minus the bun) with baked beans and grape tomato's.
  • I drink every Wednesday night (pool league night), and then either Friday or Saturday nights if I can get a sitter.
  • I loved the further character development, and to see Rick come back to reality (even though I'm really not a Rick fan).... but I think it should have happened way before last night. I'm very annoyed with the way it ended.... well maybe not so much annoyed as disappointed, and now we have to wait 7 months!!!!! UGH.
  • All in the name of science :wink: I'm 5'7"
  • Someone that I can have a real conversation with, that has a fun and mischievious side, and that will accept me as I am.
  • trust me, that does not work very well.... :grumble:
