I'm pretty sure people are talking about the drunken dolphin tattoo. The one where some girl was drunk and then just pointed at the wall and said "I want that one!" If its artfully done, who the bleep cares if its a dolphin? You also shouldn't be getting tattoos to please others... If its something you want to do, then do…

I'm so glad that I'm not alone!! I've seen recipes with the hot pepper, but everyone who sees me do it with a pickle goes "EEEWWWW". I'm like, it's salty, crunchy... deliciousness!

Okay, so this one hasn't been mentioned yet... I do salami, cream cheese, and a baby dill pickle. All rolled up. YUM. Other strange things: Ketchup w/ mac & cheese Ketchup w/grilled cheese hot chocolate powder I used to just eat margarine out of the tub. Haven't done that since I was super young though. The thought now…

Again, not disagreeing with you at all. Moderation is something that both has to be practiced mentally and physically. Like you said "no to the ice cream that day, small changes. Or eat the cake and the ice cream at smaller portions." BAM. Moderation.

I agree. I feel the key word here should be "moderation". I have to admit, I've never heard of a body getting used to healthy food, and needing junk food to kickstart it into losing weight. :huh:

Hehehe... My boyfriend actually caught me flexing while I was kitchen. :embarassed: I hadn't seen that muscle before!! I was so excited!! When he asked me what I was doing, I turned and said "Check out my guns!" Yep, I went there.

My end goal is a new tattoo and going sky-diving. The first was a new haircut. The second was a 10K race. The third... will be... something. lol.

I love you. You put into words what my shocked brain could not. :flowerforyou:

As a fellow writer... that's freaking bizarre to me. Sure, when I'm done writing, I hope someone likes it. Do I write it so people will like it? Nope. I write it because the story needs to come out. So... nope. Again, sure, some people get them for attention. I appreciate your retract of "everyone", but I find your take on…

Sexy.

But you didn't start writing because "Oh hey, I want someone to read this." , did you? I'm also assuming that more artists don't put paintbrush to canvas with the thought of "Oh dear, I hope people like this." Sure, that may come afterwards (especially if you're trying to make a living out of such), but rarely does it come…

This... is sad to me. I know that was judge people everyday based on looks, but truly, there are wonderful, kind people who are inked from head to toe. Just because someone approaches life differently than you doesn't mean that you won't get along. Anticipating that you won't is really no different than not associating…

Except most artwork hung in the home hasn't been created specifically for you...

Do you do ANYTHING creative? I don't mean this as an insult (okay, well, maybe slightly), but if you do, then you should understand that you don't write, paint, create for anyone other than you. If someone likes it, then great. But if not, then who cares? I got my tattoo to symbolize my change, my growth, my never ending…

For me, I love tattoos that have meaning. I don't really think that ANYONE enjoys having a bad tattoo, so I'll just go on assuming that we're talking about well-done pieces. They're works of art, that portray a part of a person's soul. Whether or not someone else likes the tattoo is highly irrelevant. If I want to adorn my…

Thank you... I needed this, greatly. I'm about 7 months in, 22 lbs down, 3 pants sizes down. But I've stopped losing weight. It's been frustrating and is causing some mental and emotional issues. Seeing your success is amazing, and just the boost I needed. Thank you so much for sharing, and congrats!! You look fabulous!!

BUMP FOR HOME!

I've suffered from depression my entire life. I fight with it daily. What did I turn to in order to make me feel better? Food. Delicious, horrible, foods. Sugary, salty, carby, and nonstop. I could eat an entire pizza to myself. Why? To hide from the pain. To hide from what was inside even as it clawed its way up my throat…

I'm sorry... but no. She's calling her fiance inconsiderate, not because he bought a pizza, chips, cookies and cake, brought it home and ate it in front of her.... Oh no, it's simply because he ate too much for lunch and won't be needing dinner. "Thanks honey, but I'm super full!" THE HORROR!! THE NERVE!! Just because she…

Does anyone have the husband's email? Forget HER breaking it off, someone needs to know exactly what he's marrying into.... :noway: The only inconsiderate one here is YOU. You're being rude and downright ridiculous about an issue that shouldn't even be an issue. Is it really that difficult to put leftovers in the fridge?…

I get this, expect it's been the opposite for me. I've stopped losing weight (even gained a couple pounds), but I've lost inches. O.O Not fair, body. Not fair! But if we stick with it and keep going, we'll see it happen. Hang in there!

Well, I can prove you wrong. I cheated on my 2nd boyfriend with my 1st (and my current SO of 12 years), and haven't cheated since. Why? Because I made a mistake that has multiple layers behind the reasons why that I won't explain here. I've regretted, I've apologized, I've accepted, and I've moved on. BAM. You've just been…

No. You do frozen bananas, cocoa powder, and milk. It's LIKE a milkshake, but not quite. We call it the 'banana freezie' and it's become a delicious dessert in our household. Definitely not a substitution for ice cream though.

Only you know what's best for you. Just re-read what you wrote. You mentioned that you were more comfortable and relaxed without him. He talks down to you. He's aggressive and violent. A few questions: Have you tried marriage counseling? Does your 15 year old deserve to grow up in that environment? But most importantly, do…

Sorry, but as an adult (let alone as a KID), I would be PISSED if someone tried to pass off strawberries & shortcake (or watermelon cake, or zucchini cake) as my BIRTH DAY cake. If you MUST change tradition due to an inability to portion control, try a fresh fruit tart instead.But I mean... why not just portion control?…

I think 'miracle worker' is more appropriate. As an editor, I would hope that they kicked his *kitten* to the curb. More than likely its a self-published book and won't even seen an editor. EEEEEEE.

It's like reading a flunking high-school student's essay. That aside, I understand your want to lose weight, but I wouldn't be ashamed as a fitness professional. I would much rather see and experience a trainer who has struggled than someone who looks like they haven't. Why? Because I know that they truly DO understand my…

You're writing... a book?? Dear lord, you can't even seem to organize a paragraph properly. That aside, how extremely rude of you to insult someone just because they won't try your 'method'. In case you haven't noticed, there are TONS of people with exercise and nutrition books out there. They're called FADS and don't…

I got upset, once, for someone removing me. But it was mainly because she had requested me as a friend because she saw that I held people accountable (that's what she said). I was, I thought, being very supportive of her and giving her suggestions when asked. However, a couple weeks later she deleted me. I contacted and…

Proven... to be dead? How do you prove a God to be dead, and what exactly do you use as proof? To the OP, there will always be sexism. In the church, in society, in the world. Why? Because people have opinions, and other people will agree or disagree with those opinions, and then those opinions grow into beliefs and that's…
