I watch out of obligation to my friends who are throwing the party....

Crummy..... but at least the waitress can find a new job.... the pastor will always be clueless....

I had someone on here try to tell me to watch Kent Hovind videos and that the earth was 6000 years old.... I ignored it....

Hah... that makes my strict Catholic upbringing sound like a walk in the park!

I get grief regularly for *not* wanting to ever get married or have kids. Never really understood why anyone would care that much whether I do these things or not. I think you're probably right that it probably threatens them because they're not entirely sure about their own life choices and I actively eschew the things…

Thats pretty much the Dawkins position.... can never be 100% sure, but there sure isn't much evidence...certainly nothing that indicates anything in the bible is true....

Sports are just another form of soap opera....

.... so in other words.... I agree with you.

I'm passively anti-religion. I would prefer people to *want* to not be religious, not do it because I, nor anyone else, said so. So to that end, I guess I realistically don't care about the mere existence of religion so long as science trumps religion in political discussion and the "nones" get adequate representation,…

I feel your pain. I'm far too socially awkward even when I'm *in* my element, much less somewhere where I'd already be super uncomfortable like a gym.

I think this study tells you everything you need to know about prayer: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16569567

Yeah, not funny.

Wow, are you hanging out with Jackson Teller?

Its hard when your social life revolves around drinking. I'm struggling with the same thing. I'm not even sure I want to quit entirely, but have been seriously considering it.

I agree, mel, I hate having to deal with the bad science. I've mostly just tuned it out now.

Welcome, nice to meet you.... it sounds like you're from my neck of the woods. I live in Dent and grew up in Peach Grove...

I feel like all the groups are kind of disappointing. Welcome, though...

Thats what I said.

Wow... that sucks. Going to the gym is already unnerving enough without being harassed by punk kids. Hopefully it doesn't happen again....

Great work!

I think you'll find that men are a lot more forgiving toward a woman's appearance in the real world than the vocal idiots on the internet. Certainly looking toward celebrities as being what men want is not the way to go. Either way, concentrate on looking how you feel comfortable...

Welcome guys.... best of luck!

Oh man.... there are so many better uses of time than walking door-to-door peddling bullcrap... like.... making music or reading books or something....

This thing was only a level 2..... we've had much worse hurricanes, you just don't hear as much about them because they're not hitting NYC....

Not only is AA geared toward christians and producing *more* christians... it is openly hostile toward anyone who questions its effectiveness and refuses to subject its methods to scientific studies. The whole anti-alcohol movement is rife with so much pseudoscience that it is really difficult to determine what the real…

Your boyfriend probably means well, but isn't able to understand how comments like that can affect a person's psyche.

I had success with WW but it was a lot more restrictive than straight calorie counting. I feel like the unnecessary focus on fat grams is kind of pointless and the science doesn't support it. I'm a big fan of just straight calorie counting, its a lot less complicated (and free)...

Congrats! That looks like a lot of fun...

Welcome! Feel free to add me if you're looking for friends....
