  • Cucumbers, but only by themselves (if they are drowning in dressing or cream cheese, in raita, or pickled I'll eat them) Melon - any of them; there is just something musty/funky tasting about them Chitlins/pig intestines - had them once, couldn't even masticate them enough to swallow; never again. Kim chee (if I spelled it…
  • Buffy The Vampire Slayer
  • I track fiber on my diary, see nuttingh's post on how to change your view. Some foods that I eat that are high in fiber are many of the whole grain/whole wheat foods - like whole wheat gnocchi (instead of regular gnocchi) and whole grain pasta; as well as any beans (I particularly like refried beans. But specific brand…

  • No storm from me, just some stormtroopers to rally behind that thought. Even if they are a clone army. I am so looking forward to 2015...

  • This sounds like my husband several months after we started dating after he had moved in. And I had never dealt with someone with true depression before then. It was very frustrating for me too. I couldn't understand how someone could sleep so darn much. And I have to admit I did lose my cool a few times. We did go to…

  • I so want to try this someday, but first I need to get the hang of regular spinning. I was told I would need to combine it a bit with another more "toothy"yarn for the best spin. We've probably only have her around for another year, so that window of opportunity is closing. But it would be such a great keepsake of her.
  • I did have to laugh a little at the masochist comment. I agree with iysys, socks (at least in their basic form) are relatively easy - the hardest part for me is picking up stitches for the gusset. Mittens are a little bit more fidgety but not much, and gloves are definitely fidgety with all the fingers. When you do socks,…
  • That is a great question....
  • I have it taped and ready to watch when I have some free time. It looks promising.
  • Another one here who records and watches later. My husband doesn't get/like Dr. Who so I watch it on my own. Other than a temp that just left this past week and a couple guys at the newly opened comic book store, I have had no one IRL that appreciates Dr. Who.
  • You ladies are all doing great! Better than I am right now, but I hope to join in on the walking soon. But you're right slow and steady does it. A couple years ago (November 2010) I started to get up and walk and train with my Mom for a half marathon (walking, no running for this gal thanks to fractures in my shins). While…
  • I think it really depends on the man - some men are romantics and would appreciate the gestures you have already described. Others are not terribly so, and would rather be left with their guy friends to play paint ball or go to a strip club. Think about what YOUR boyfriend really likes doing most that he doesn't get time…
  • Great job! Good luck with the rest of your goals - may you have as much success as you have had so far.
  • Initially, I knit because I really enjoy creating things - for myself and for others. I think that's why I started (it was so many years ago), and I still do get that sense of accomplishment. But now it is great to do while watching TV. My husband is disabled in part due to an accident which left him with major back damage…
  • Let's hope not!
  • I agree - David Tennant is my favorite Doctor, then comes Tom Baker, but Matt Smith is slowly creeping up on him for second place. I didn't really watch Doctors 6-8, though As for companions, I didn't like Rory at first. I thought he was going to be a bit like Mickey (Rose's boyfriend) all sullen and bitter. But then he…
  • Definitely Star Wars (everything) and Star Trek (mostly the original series, (most) movies, books, and The Next Generation) and I haven't finished Eureka - I'm still watching it on Amazon (partway thru season 4) as I got into it late in the game. Speaking of cancelled series that I was working on, I need to get back to…
  • My story is almost identical to mustangmary - change the venue (Connecticut not NY), and I just really haven't gotten into Ghosthunters. I've been a sci-fi lover since as long as I can remember, and certainly since my dad took me to the first Star Wars movie when I was 9. Dr. Who was a more readily accessible outlet. And I…
  • Great job sticking to it! I especially love #1 - it's as much a lesson as a victory.
  • I'm not originally from Ohio, but I've lived here for the last 11 years, mostly in the northern burbs of Cincinnati (Mason). I also went to college in Gambier. So I guess you could say I've spent about 1/3 of my life here in Ohio so far.
  • A big congratulations! Keep doing whatever you've been doing because it is working!
  • This is a wonderful post/share. Forgiveness of oneself is one of the hardest things we can learn in life, but one of the most helpful in this journey. You have turned the bump in the road into a realignment instead of a car crash. I am a stress/grief eater too - it is why I gained 60 pounds in 6 months after losing my…
  • Some sample songs from my workout playlist: Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (Kaskade remix); Kriss Kross - Jump; Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam - Let The Beat Hit 'Em; The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin Beats; Holy Ghost! - Hold On; Ke$ha - Tik Tok; Timo Maas - Shifter; No Doubt - Hella Good; LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out;…
