Welcome to the family! We love you already. ;)

Spiders are adorable. I love them. Especially the big hairy tarantulas. That said, I do respect their venom and I'm not going to get all touchy or up in their space. ;)

I'm so sorry! While I know I would totally blame myself in this situation, it really isn't your fault, even though I know that's really hard to see right now. I pray that your grandma will be alright, but whatever happens, please be kind to yourself--this was definitely not your fault or something that could have been…

I don't even EAT spam, but BOY IS THAT GROSS! :o

I'd be sad to leave this original thread behind, but count me in, too!

Confession: Honestly, I'm not happy with the thread being stickied. We'll very likely get an influx of sarcastic, unkind, or snarky people ruining our nice thread mojo. *sniffle* :'(

Well, at least I'm memorable, right?! ;)

I have a really strange, but also extremely severe phobia that I'm almost sure nobody else shares, but I'll never ever admit to it in this thread. Very few people even know about it, maybe 4-5 including my sister and husband. :-/

You're very welcome! :) I love talking about Islam, and I could just go on and on about it, so it was quite fun to answer everyone's questions, especially when religion is such a taboo topic nowadays. :)

The prayer is a ritual that remains the same, regardless of which prayer it is. We have three segments: The standing, ruku' (bowing), and sujood (prostration). During each segment, we speak specific words of praise and glorify God, giving thanks and asking for guidance and mercy. We can recite any chapter we wish from the…

Just to make you jealous, since you can't have it... Hay Day has an optional Town that unlocks at level 30-ish that you can also design and build up. ;) *goes to check out Township*

Yup, I hate those games too. :( I was originally playing something called Family Farm Seaside, but it got to the point where I could no longer advance or do anything unless I paid real cash for stuff/added five million neighbors. That's one of the best parts about Hay Day, for me. :) No neighbors, no adding people on FB to…

My husband is amazing at picking gifts for me. I, on the other hand, am the worst gift giver on the planet. Seriously. I always default to perfume because I just can't think of anything else... Even if I know the person really well! :-/ I'm just really, really bad at it. :(

Thank you! ;) After making that comment, I told my husband... "My pimples really ARE spammy. They spam me all over my face!" ;)

@KylerJaye This is probably really random, but it occurred to me last night that I somehow missed replying to all of your sweet posts to me about my depression and anxiety, and I just wanted to send you a big thank you for all of them. Your words were so kind. :) (A big thanks to anyone else who I somehow missed quoting…

Ugh, for me it's bread. All bread of every type. Even the cheap ones that just taste icky alone, which I only buy because they're low calorie and I stuff burgers into them. -_- As for the spam, I'm catching up and don't know if anyone replied, but if you've been flagged there will be a number next to the "flag" button at…

I set an alarm, and I regret to inform you that I do sometimes just switch it off and fall asleep again, because I'm both lazy and human. ;) I do try to get to bed on time so that I can avoid falling back to sleep without praying, though. I do tend to go back to sleep afterward (because I love sleep), but very religious…

And yet, #I'llRideWithYou was triggered by the abuse and hatred showered on Muslims in Australia during that time. :( There's good with the bad, but you have to admit that there's a lot of bad. But I do agree with you. A recent event that I found touching was the armed bikers in Arizona who decided to go to a mosque and…

Wow, THIS got flagged as spam? I must have spammy pimples. ;)

I'm on the injection (depo) and I definitely still get the hormonal surges. Excessive hunger, carb cravings, depression, and even pimples (ugh).

All prayers are good prayers, we all believe in the same God. :)

If I read a particular book, I will never, ever watch a movie or show relating to it. If I read a manga, I refuse to watch the anime for it. If I watch a drama, I refuse to read the manga or the anime... And so on. I can only handle one version of everything, because for me every other version after the first I've…

Confession: I made vanilla-flavored pudding pops today with Jell-O instant pudding and milk. I've made them before with the lemon flavored jell-O and yogurt, and they were AWESOME. Anyhow, I'm so excited to try them that I logged one in my leftover calories yesterday since I didn't have the calories to spare today (I had…

I take off my wedding ring, necklace (if I'm wearing one), glasses, and even hair-ties when I'm desperate for a good weigh-in! I joked to my husband today that I should have clipped my nails, shaved my legs, and blown my nose before weighing again... ;)

I'm the same, but only because it's horribly triggering to my depression and my anxiety. I can't stomach the news or world events, and I usually get watered down versions from my husband when big things happen, since he's pretty much a news fiend and reads it several times a day. Sometimes, when I cave and read the news…

I'm lucky in the fact that I LOVE to cook, especially when I'm trying new recipes. It's only when I'm depressed that I just don't want to do anything, and that includes cooking. However, I'm unlucky in the fact that I also love to bake, since I can't seem to stop eating my baked goods! ;) Seriously, my dream job would be…

It's horribly scary to me, because my husband attends Friday prayers at the mosque every week. :( So far, they've blown up one mosque and two guys died keeping the suicide bomber out of the one they attempted last Friday, saving everyone else in the process. We're being as safe as we can! :)

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling. :( I've had a terrible last few days, but I feel like I've perked up some today. I'm almost back to normal, and it feels so liberating and just amazing! That "depression is receding" feeling is such a relief, and I'm hoping you feel it soon. :) Sending you good vibes and lots of…

Confession: I pre-log my days and usually don't change them, but I often eat the foods in a completely different order from the way that I logged them. I have six meal slots, and today, rather than eating 1, then 2, 3, etc... I ate them in the following order: 3, 4, 6, 5, 2, 1. So basically, I'm having my breakfast for my…

I know that this isn't exactly the place for it, but since everyone has been so supportive about my confessions of depression and anxiety, I thought I'd share a poem that I wrote about it a while back. I hope nobody minds. :) Depression A sadness fills my soul And in solitude my fears Just become so overwhelming That my…
