caitlin, somehow your thread has been diverted to a very self involved conversation. I'm sorry that had to happen and would like to thank you for your ORIGINAL THOUGHTFUL post.

My husband doesn't know how to say sorry and is NEVER wrong. But hey, he does the grocery shop for me, buys my tampons and evn picks up my contraceptives from the pharmacy. He also gives me back massages whenever I want them, so I figure the 'rightness' is something I can live with:-)

Dream Job - To work in the kitchen of a food magazine such as Donna Hay and make ALL the recipes for photo shoots etcof the food they publish:-) Actual Job - Full-time Mum

I don't log any day to day running around. Only intentional exercise - anything that gets my heart rate up!!

anyone for cake in red velvet slippers and matching panties?

I'm a Mum, WHAT is multitasking ? hehehehe (out the door)

can I go to work now????

I like it, perhaps they all need to be dunked in the soy?

:happy: I don't know either, can anyone else answer the question??

what do network administrators/techs and chinese food have in common?

Here in Nz we have judder-bars. you know those lumps of tarseal they put on the road to slow traffic down? what do you call them?

In Nz we call them a trolley!!!

sounds like my story!!! Family friends since we were born, married at 21, coming up 12 years and it just gets BETTER and BETTER and BETTER and BETTER:-) You never know all you 'single and looking', Mr Right may be sitting on your door step and has been there for years!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'm starting to feel a little better - kinda depressing when you expect a drop on the scales and it's WAY the other way!!!!

A HRM is a Heart Rate moniter. I always use one - you strap it like abelt around your chest and if you have a fairly modern treadmill, it measures your heart rate and calculates calories burnt accordingly. Mine came with a watch that also tells you your heart rate and calories burnt so I can wear it when out walking,…

apart from you being a little touchy, it sounds like your dad did a really good job.:-) I wasn't implying anything, the fact is that we were all raised differently, we all have different morals and there is no one right way to raise children. Way to go with all your education, with your extended intelligence you won't need…

You are NOT old fashoined. Just a decent, loving parent. My 6 yo daughter was strutting around in my heels with no skirt on the other day singing "I'm sexy and I know it". Just seemed wrong somehow. I got her to stop:-)

I was brought up pretty strictly and swearing was NOT part of my life. I'm now married to a man who swears occasionally, generally only in adult company and with a few drinks under the belt. Unfortunatly any time he or his friends swear my Dads words ring in my ears. "Only a weak person curses or blasphemes".

I'm definatly a boredom eater. Lately when I want to eat and it isn't mealtime I've been saying to myself "Okay, I'll go get a cup of tea and a muffin but I'll wait 20 minutes". Generally I start doing something else and forget or else I spend the 20 minutes talking myself out of it and don't end up eating. Doesn't always…

I never thought to much of it but I my husband is waaaaaayyy taller than me. Top of my head is level with his shoulder. I find myself wearing heels alot. If we are talking standing up he generally leans against a bench or something so we are eye level - he hates looking down on people. It's a pain even in bed - he gets…

Yes, the first time I 'dieted' when i was 16, I counted calories. I lost about 10 kg - approx 22lb. Put it back on slowly and then for the last 12 years (I'm 32) have struggled with my weight. I've tried so many fad diets that I've lost count but the only times that I really lost any significant amount has been counting…

my better half would want to know whether 'womanly bits' are 'ups or buts'!!!!!

Haha, sounds familiar!!!!!

My husband looks a toal spazz when he runs. His knees sort of jack-knife out at 90 degrees if you get the picture. I hassle him, his friends hassle him (we know he can take it) and he JUST DOESN'T CARE. My point is that it's what he does, who he is and ammed if anyone is going to stop him. By the way, I can't run. I could…

I read in a raising children book ( the only one I've ever read!!) that you mustn't reward childrens accomplishments with food. For example, Johnny is getting toilet trained so each time he uses the toilet he gets a jelly-baby - apparently this puts the emotional food thing in a childs mind. Do a good job - reward youself…

WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!! I'm the same. overall I eat healthy, I work out most days - I do a cardio exercsie everyday unless 'circumstances' work against me!! Yet at some stage I toss it all out the window by consuming to many calories. Sometimes I wonder if I have a little demon in me that doesn't want me lose weight?? I'm…

If you say any word about 50 times in a row and really fast it starts sounding way wrong. Even your own name!! Try it, it's weird:-)

Highlight. Print. Now in my recipe folder. THANK YOU.
