A little late, but right back at ya! (nice display, btw.)

Thanks, folks. :smile: I'll look into those suggestions.

Excellent analogy!

I've done it recently, but now I wonder-- does the deletee receive a message that they have been cut? The person I deleted had lots and lots of friends, so I figured she wouldn't notice, but if there's an alert. . . I may owe an apology. :ohwell:

It sure is difficult to figure out what is causing migraines; for me, it seems to be a combination of things. I never tried cutting out gluten-- it seemed overwhelming (I have a family member who did it). The one thing I have been able to pin down as a cause is birth control pills. I went without for 3 months, no headaches…

I've been wondering how well these adjustable dumbells work-- have you (or anyone here) tried them? Do they shift and rattle while you're lifting? Seems like that would be distracting, at the least.

When we're out find ourselves at McDonalds, I get a grilled chicken snack wrap (honey mustard for me) and a parfait-- total 400 calories for 20 grams protein. (cheap, too) This usually holds me until we get home and I can eat some veggies.

Well said!

< This is Natalie. She passed away last year at the ripe old age of 14. :cry:

:laugh: I've been guilty of this one.

"I'm pregnant, I can eat anything!"

Lucky you! It's 5 til 9 a.m. here. Long day ahead. . . . But tomorrow I get to spend all day with my hubby-- we call it Naked Saturday! :blushing:

I've got a large zucchini someone gave me from their garden. Must pick up some bacon TODAY! :love: (Thanks for the idea.)

Only if you're expecting company. :drinker:

You must have a more reliable service provider than I do. I prefer a response, even "K", because then I know my text actually went through. Texts undelivered or delivered late have caused some inconvenient miscommunications in the past.

I went to (a healthy) lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in 25 years, and found that we still have a lot in common and still enjoy each other's company. Friendship reclaimed! :smile:

Ignore the trolls! Anyone with half a brain who actually read your post can see what you were really saying. :flowerforyou:

I was told that pregnancy occurred when husbands and wives "slept together." So, I though the marriage ceremony was a magic spell that allowed the couple to make babies by sleeping side by side.

I recently lowered the temperature from broiling to 400 degrees. Took longer, but they didn't burn.

Well, I wouldn't quite die, but red wine gives me migraines. <sniff> I love red wine!

Say, thanks for the idea-- my son plans to marry next spring and move across the continent. I think I'll do this for him and his fiance. :happy:

Do you have a spare leprechaun I can borrow?

Yes! I am a copy editor, so I have channeled my grammar obsession into a career. Also, I'm one up on the article-- I have the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. So there! :bigsmile: Oh, and I must take the chance to advocate for the serial comma. Not using it just makes no sense!!!

Banking too boring? How about: weddings

I've had that happen. Thank goodness the dog was there! Alcohol: The awkward moment you realize they weren't joking about how strong those "four horsemen" were-- after you've downed four of them. New topic: banking

The awkward moment when you realize everyone is giving you the stink eye because you let your teenager dress emo. New topic: pets

So. . . . we Americans should groom ourselves and dress nicely, avoiding bright colors, jeans, shorts, sneakers, and especially, um, waist-mounted-pouches at all costs. However, we should also look like we don't have any money. A challenging balance. :huh:

Even normal TV and the news present a skewed view of how safe things are because they present what is newsworthy. The billions of normal folks having safe, normal experiences that don't make the news FAR outweigh those whose day was so messed up that you got to hear about it.

Excellent point!
