Best: my power rack (gift from the SO, who also assembled it) Worst: a godawful glittery silver sleigh, I think maybe it was supposed to be a table centerpiece? Some sort of dollar store decor thing anyway.

I see. Carts and baskets are still sanitized here. And I find the self checkout a lot slower because I have to answer a ton of questions on the screen and there's quite a lengthy pause before you get to the next screen -- all of which is done verbally with a cashier. Produce is a PITA, and you can't use coupons without…

I haven't used self check since Covid because I noticed that no one was cleaning them between customers and there is a lot of screen-touching required at each transaction. At least the debit machine (and other areas) gets wiped down by the cashier at a regular checkout and I'm using tap with my card anyway so there's no…

I think you lift so gracefully and naturally! No hint of giraffe. That was the main reason I took up lifting: for my bones. I have a tiny frame and family history of osteoporosis in all my female ancestors on both sides so these bones were doomed unless I did something.

Noooo don't let it die! I for one love seeing another long-legged gal lifting, it makes me feel less giraffesque! I was intending to attempt to make a contribution (note the certainty in there lol) once things get less busy and I have time to muck around with it... although there's a decent possibility I won't have storage…

I'm hoping this will put an end to the restaurant practice of serving a single dessert with two utensils, because somehow there is a presumption that no one ever eats a whole dessert portion. Pre-pandemic I regularly dined out with a good friend who does not like sweets, never orders dessert, and is not someone I normally…

I'm probably about 7 or 8ish hours north of you, same damn blizzard, slightly colder (-2 F or -24 F wind chill) but at least here no one has mentioned the idea of outdoor gatherings for several months. :D Our whole province goes into full lockdown on the 26th. I'm in the middle of a three week vacation block anyway and…

I thought your suggestion was pretty good, actually. Jerky tends to be a decent protein source. I almost wish fish jerky was a thing, although it would still be a sodium bomb and I probably couldn't eat it anyway.

Gotta love MFP. Completely ignore the fact that the OP has asked for ideas for store bought meals and nag him to do what is preferable for them, despite the fact that he has clearly stated (twice) that he doesn't WANT to prep home made lunches. Can't help you with your dilemma, OP, as I'm pescetarian so I rely heavily on…

Yeah, this is me. As a middle-aged female, people probably assume I'm buying it for "the family". Kids. Grandkids. Nope, it's all for me.

Mine is deliberately quite dim as a) I work out in the early morning and dim lighting is kinder to my foggy brain and b) I have cataracts starting and bright light is uncomfortable anyway. The light fixture in that corner of the basement was originally one of those retractable up-down ones, probably over a pool table at…

Yet another miraculous magical hair product that promises to give my hair body and volume but in reality probably won't work any better than the other two dozen products that made the same claims and failed to deliver. Hope springs eternal, however.

Pffft. Epicness achieved!

Ohhhh I would kill to have a leg press! Lucky you!

If he thinks reality shows are real

I had coworkers who would go to the gym and work out on their lunch hour and come back to the office absolutely reeking of cologne or perfume or body spray because they didn't have time to shower. I'd rather have smelled a bit of sweat, frankly. One fellow's cologne would linger in a room for 10 minutes after he'd left.

I almost suggested the DIL too then went with the gender-neutral "other adults". Although odds are high that the expectation will fall on the women. I was a DIL once. The men didn't pitch in with holiday meals.

Very pretty! Although I definitely expected more bird-themed ornaments. I just love the middle snowman on the mantel, he's adorable.

Happy birthday! Sorry about all the cooking, the other adults should be pitching in with that.

Those date ranges seem a little counterproductive, I'd think that would mean everyone would mob the shops on Dec 28th and Jan 4th whether they needed to or not, just to get out of captivity. At the very least, people will be saving their errands for "legal" days.

I have a long time friend who is a medical esthetician so I know more about this subject than I want to :D Working out with lip injections won't affect the results. The product does tend to break down faster with movement but that means movement of the injected area: eating, talking, smiling. And you won't be avoiding…

Ultimately we need regular cardio exercise for our cardiovascular health and I promise you that in future your heart health will be more important than your glutes. However, as other posters have already reassured you, the amount of cardio you are doing won't impair your glute growth goals.

Stunning as always, Ricki <3

I wasn't 100% sure either. Quick/lazy meal = bag salad with some kind of protein that doesn't need to be cooked tossed in Cheap/comfort meal = cream of wheat or instant oatmeal and toast

I feel that anything that might reasonably constitute a dealbreaker or an issue in a committed longterm relationship should be disclosed. Apparently this guy did flat out say that he is bisexual so whether he just figured it out recently or whether he already knew and deliberately concealed the information until after the…

Will those be available in Betamax also?

Apparently some women >:) >:) >:) (think I remember 25%?) don't ever have hot flashes. My BFF's mother never had one, and I don't think BFF has had one yet either at age 56. I'm into the seventh year of mine....

Sadly I'm an OLD hard rocker so seeing my favourite bands in concert isn't really a thing, never mind that I live in the middle of nowhere and very few artists come anywhere near here. I did travel to see ACDC in 2009 and I'm glad I got to see them with both Brian Johnson and Malcolm Young. I've seen Rush a few times since…

I read the same thing. I laughed when I read it because my experience has been that exercise actually triggers my hot flashes. I work out in a 16 C basement, get a little warm from exertion... and then it's like suddenly being dipped into a blast furnace for a few minutes and the workout gets extra miserable.

No. All that negative/positive energy stuff is a bit too hippie-dippy New Agey for me. It mostly seems like another excuse for people to externalize blame.
