Again, this might only provide a person with a false sense of security. It really bothers me that people are boiling this all down to "just take an 8 hour class and you will be fine". I call BS on this, because I believe NOBODY (including police officers, soldiers, etc) is ever really ready to take a person's life without…

I once tried to open a debate with a "friend" who was all excited about getting her new CCW permit and gun for Christmas. I wanted open, honest, thoughtful, intelligent, debate. Instead i got a lot of "It's my God given right as a Christian AND American to carry a gun and kill anyone who tries to break into my house."…

It removes toxic money from your wallet. Benefits: your wallet will be much thinner.

Liquid Plumber.

I don't wish to belittle anyone's losses here, so please don't bash me for this. But, to me, death is all part of the process. It is inevitable, so I'm not afraid of dying. But, there are things I want to accomplish first -- mainly to see my children become responsible, productive adults and, if they want it, parents. I…

Chocolate. I deprive myself of nothing. I eat within my calorie limit or I exercise to give me some wiggle room. Chocolate is a gift from the Gods, why refuse the gift?

Why I wouldn't exactly choose those words, I would probably say to my morbidly obese friend (term used lightly) if she commented about my dedication would be "I just don't want to be a morbidly obese person who doesn't take good care of herself and ends up in the hospital having to get abdominal surgery for things such as…

Nasty people will be nasty, whether on the net or in real life. It's how we deal with them that matters.

Yes, and I was sharing an example of how new information can be taught in two separate ways, with two separate end results. My dad was condescending, my professor was not. They were both teaching me algebra. So, if someone is trying to teach new material to someone, they need to understand that the tone and delivery has a…

I think you mean "More intelligent than I". BOOM! :laugh: :wink: :tongue: :flowerforyou:

Condescension is subjective, in my opinion. I think we ALL have contributions to make. It isn't so much what you have to contribute, as how it is conveyed. For example, my dad would beat his fists on the kitchen table while trying to help me with my algebra homework, chanting "WHY DON'T YOU GET THIS???? IT IS SOOOO EASY!"…

There is far more to "intelligence" than standard book smarts. There are multiple intelligences: linguistic, kinesthetic, verbal, musical, etc. I've met people who are geniuses at designing things out of thin air, but can't tell me HOW they did it without stumbling and stuttering through an explanation. They also can't…

OK, LOVE THIS.

For something as serious as diabetes, I would never ask for suggestions on an internet site. You will find way too many "suggestions" that just aren't good ones. What you need to do is to ask your doctor to set you up with someone who specializes is in working with diabetic patients. They can advise you much better and…

Well, he's a hottie. I'd dance with him.

AGREED!! Now, I'd like to know who that crazy fool is in the GIF, cuz I'm a liking his style!

If you want to lose weight, here are a few things you need to remember: 1) It will take time, so don't rush. 2) You will trip and stumble, don't give up 3) You will sweat, that's good 4) You will "starve", if you do it wrong 5) You will lose, if you do it right 6) You will refuse to work out, do it anyway -- NO EXCUSES 7)…

Excess skin doesn't bother me nearly as much as poor grammar and the refusal to use punctuation marks. But, that's just me.

Feel free to add me! I'm a hockey fan, and even know all the words to Oh Canada! I'm also a writer. Warning: my profile is a bit acerbic, but you won't see it until after you add me. Welcome!

first thought: What the hell does this guy see in some 48 year old broad? Second thought: DAMN, I still "got it", YES! When they open their mouths and start talking, that's when I start to judge. A great body is one thing, a great mind completes the package.

My legs are 36" inches of lean, toned and supple. Just thought I'd throw that out there, you two. :wink: :laugh: :tongue:

Do guys look at women even if the woman doesn't notice them looking?

Well HELLLOOOOOO, Mr. DaVinci.

That's not subtle, that's pretty straight forward in my opinion. "I'm going dancing tonight down at XYZ bar. I love dancing and I can shake my hips and butt like no other. I understand it's a real turn on to guys, but I don't really have anyone to watch me do it. Oh well, at least I'll have fun anyways grinding away on my…

I'm married, so I'm basically dead when it comes to flirting. However, I find it a turn on when a man can match wits with me - which I consider a delicate form of flirting. The less blatant it is, the better.

What exactly "tried and tested formula" are you talking about here? The fact that you're exercising and experiencing a calorie deficit? Yes, that's tried and tested. AND PROVEN. Or the raspberry ketones? Yep, tried, tested, and NO CONCLUSIVE evidence. What makes you think they work for you when they haven't been proven to…

THIS! Who says we must go to a gym to get fit? Buy some weights and lift at home. If you can't afford real weights, buy two water jugs and use those. I think one one gallon jug weights 8 lbs, but I could be wrong there. When the water jugs get too easy, start filling it up with heavier stuff, like sand. Or lift bowling…

I am a grown adult who cannot stand chunky and mushy foods in the same bite (fruit pies, oatmeal, etc). I also don't like my foods to touch on the plate, I must have my food plated a certain way before I begin eating (I will move the food around if it isn't, I just don't complain about it), and I'm not a fan of entire…

I'm not sure what to suggest, but I sense you might be on the spectrum. You might want to talk to a doctor or nutritionist about this -- as I am sure you know it is not healthy and sustainable for the long run. Good luck.

Commando under workout clothes. I cannot stand thongs - it's like dental floss for my butt. ICK. And, if you can make it happen-- exercise naked. I've done naked Zumba and it's the most freeing I've ever felt. :laugh: :wink:
