My wife, longtime MFP member Mariettarose. Duh,,, *If she vanished, Stevie Nicks might do in a pinch. Yes, I know she's not that thin any more. I don't care, she's hot.

I was always bigger, but quitting smoking added 30 pounds real quick, and that made it official.

I once opened the wrong canister and tried to thicken gravy with powdered sugar instead of corn starch. It did not thicken. Or taste good.

I hate people that "LOL" after every damn sentence. You did not "Laugh Out Loud", you did not roll on the floor laughing, and you most certainly did not roll on the floor laughing your *kitten* off. At best, you might have chuckled, but it's more likely you just stole another cheeto from your ugly *kitten* kid, wondered at…

I just wish I looked like that cat in the bottom pic. :sad:

You're all wrong, and you're all idiots. Sorry,,,

I'm a veteran. I don't think that makes me more qualified to be Commander in Chief of the United States Armed forces than President Barack Obama. He has the 3 biggest qualifications of all. 1 - he won the presidential election 2 - he has to run for reelection 3 - he can be impeached.

There's a word for a country run by the military - and that word is "Junta". It doesn't usually turn out well. Muammar Gadafi was a "Colonel", remember? As an ex-squid I gotta concur with the dog. This wasn't cool, and if he's put out a real name/rank/duty station, I suspect a friendly JAG officer will want to talk with…

In 24 years together I've had my wife anywhere from 2 to 4. She thinks she was a 5 once, but she wasn't. I liked the 4, she likes the 2. She's 3'ish now, though she thinks she's a 4. I'm pretty happy, she's trying to lose. It is what it is.

Mean and stupid people will always find a way to be mean and stupid.

That's a common misconception.

Bump for later

Hey, that's how I got my elliptical machine. I was starving, really miserable. I Dropped $300 at wally world, started spending 30 minutes on that thing ever morning, 'earned' an extra couple hundred cal's a day and wasn't miserable anymore. I didn't and don't eat all my ex calories, because I found that if I did that I…

That man,,, the guy in the picture - in tights. Yep, lots'a folks might date him. he's cute. My pasty white dimpled *kitten* in tights,,, not so much. Clothes actually do not make the man.

Tinker Shields

This makes me want to cry. Nobody should feel that badly about themselves. You're more than your waistline honey, and certainly not a 'mistake'.

Up to you. You know yourself better than any of us do. Y'know, I quit smoking almost 5 years ago. Now a couple times, when drinking, I've been tempted to bum a smoke. Have one "For old time's sake". Never done it, never will, terrified of it. I'm pretty sure that if I have one cigarette I'll be destroyed by cravings and…

<This picture. I looked like a walrus. Not a skinny walrus either... I looked like the walrus all the other walruses call "Lard Tusks". (my favorite joke,,, forgive me if you've read it before).

Still in jeans, I pull them up, I'm an old guy. At 44 the biggest diff I see is that I don't like to go to work in a shirt without a collar any more. I'm into middle age, kind'a seniorish on the job. I'm an engineering tech. Shirts without collars just don't feel right in the shop/office any more. I want to look a little…

Drawing pictures of nonexistent things. It's pretty awesome actually, :smile:

Well, one of my favorite teams is out - Green Bay didn't make it. My other team has already fulfilled my needs and whipped Dallas. I am now fairly unconcerned and will enjoy the day with a La-Z-Boy and a snuggie and some beer. Unless it's a rout, at which point I'll go fool around in the garage or something.

If one is a devout Jew that person would probably go to a synagogue. If one is Jewish but not particularly observant, and that person is interested in what we do, they might be happy in a UU church. I didn't say that we specifically "Celebrate Hanukkah". We're not Jewish, we'd get it wrong. Aping and imitating the deeply…

I don't know about Unitarian Universalism in GB ma'am. Unitarian Universalism has grown into what it is today out of 2 very free thinking protestant Christian deniminations - the Unitarians (believers in 1 g-d, no trinity) and the Universalists (believers in no hell - universal salvation). What you find in your country may…

Here you go Lucky. It's an interesting thing,,, Is it a "Church"? Is Unitarian Universalism a "Religion"? We say yes, but many might say no - and we're Ok with that. There is no creed, there is no dogma. There is no specific religious doctrine that you have to believe to be one of us. We have a collection of principles…

Same here. When we were young we needed a little help, and we got it. Now that we're older and our careers are a little further along and we dont need that help. Nowadays we're giving back to the system that cared for us. "I do not mind paying my taxes - with them I purchase civilization".

Sounds like somebody's about to take their place among the 47% of americans that pay no income tax. Congratulations? Hey, that'll stop that 'theft' we were talking about.

Interesting. So what's the interest rate on that loan? Where'd the money come from? Did they run a credit check before they picked up the knife? Enough. I note that lions frequently think that the law of the jungle is a great program. Gazelles are not so sure. I hope your luck continues.

So you're perfectly comfortable with the idea that if your business goes out of business and you lose your job through no fault of your own - and that can certainly happen,,, and then a couple months later your appendix ruptures,,, and you can't pay for treatment, you will die. You're Ok with that? Really?

Nope,,, but in that Libertarian world you dream of you can die if you don't. I pay a lot of taxes. Much more the 13.9%. Some of that goes to take care of poor folks, some goes to silly programs, some is wasted. I'd like to minimize the waste, and the stupidity, but I believe most of it is needed and necessary.

Here it is Kimmie. Try to keep up hon, :laugh:
