People notice me because I have one of those faces no one ever seems to forget (plus...I smile a lot; I don't even notice that I'm doing it most of the time). Apparently I have a very expressive face. In a way this is bad because I'm terrible at names and NO ONE EVER FORGETS MINE. However, I've found that if I really tone…

I don't have one -- though I considered it. My first husband was so very bad (not to mention close to being criminal...may very well have been criminal, now that I think about it) about money that I was very cautious going into my second marriage. We don't pool money or credit, and I own my home with only my name on the…

If one is having problems, yes, indeed, one should see the doc ASAP so a small problem doesn't turn into a big problem...or if it is a big problem, to get the jump on it early. A lot of people do put off coming to the doctor because of the copay or the cost. A lot of people who pay for prescriptions out of pocket will skip…

Having been in exactly this spot, this was my go-to list -- you can bake the chicken for a meal and then make a nice huge pot of soup if you boil the left-over chicken and bones (strain out the bones before you add the veggies) and throw the leftover veggies and some potatoes in there. I'd add a gallon of milk (it's about…

My husband did a double take across the room from me and said, "OMG, you can totally tell you've lost weight!" I don't see that when I look in the mirror, so this felt REALLY good!

My neighbor left a brand new crochet hook on my door, tied up with a ribbon. :) I'm new to crochet and we're in the same Stitch N Bit** group. So sweet of her!

Heck yeah! In some fundamental ways (such as dress and being able to show emotion freely), the "guy gender box" is terribly restrictive as well, especially early in life. Little boys really have a tough time.

Admittedly, I haven't lost a big percentage of the total weight I need to lose yet (my ticker shows the interim goal, final goal will be somewhere around 80-100 lbs), but I've lost two band sizes and had to buy a bigger cup size (I assume because the breasts didn't shrink along with the ribcage). If I lose one more band…

Beat me to it!

It might have been -- or it could have been any number of things. You have to listen to your instincts, though. If it wasn't the sex offender's truck, and it doesn't come back, I wouldn't worry about it. Some people on the sex offenders list will never reoffend. There's a least a dozen who live within a mile of my home (I…

Just sounds like street type harassment to me -- at least he didn't say something crude or creepy. But yeah, total jerk.

I had enough trouble watching Schindler's List. The shower scene nearly killed me, and I had even read the book and knew what was going to happen. I won't be watching this one.

INSPIRING! Thank you!

Good job!

My favorite is a mug from The Raven Bookstore -- one side has a cool raven on it, the other a quote from Groucho Marx: "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." The one I have sitting on my desk here at work is an old ad agency mug that reads "Old Dogs, New Tricks!" with a…

Mine (Sagittarius) fits me fairly well, but I seem to have a pretty fair-sized dollop of Pisces, too. :)

Don't ask us, ask your doctor if you're worried. However, if your menses have stopped (and you're not old enough for menopause) or your hair is falling out, then yes, you may very well be too thin. Some people are naturally very thin. Heck, some of my CF patients are thinner than you are, despite eating high-fat, high…

I'd either take her somewhere, get a savings bond, or make her a sock monkey. Or heck, all three.

Some things now taste way too salty, whereas before I wouldn't even have noticed.

Bumping this for the next time I have to come up with names for foster dogs/puppies.

What: My son, Gavin, and me Where: Lackland Air Force Base When: December 2010 Why: Gavin's BMT Graduation

He's not ready to do the work yet, for whatever reason. There's no quick fix. Most people here on MFP were fat for awhile before they finally got down to losing it. He's just not at that point yet, and may never be.

Naw. Dogs are much better at that than humans are. ::smile:

The people I love look beautiful to me, so when the people who love me tell me that I'm cute, or smart, or beautiful, or funny, why shouldn't I believe them? So, yes, I do believe they meant their compliments truthfully. That doesn't mean that I've ever actually felt beautiful, but usually I think I'm at least smart and…

Kids don't have filters for their conversation; if it's in their heads, it just comes out. I think she was probably just curious and wants to know more about how it all works.

Me too!

Courting was sometimes really formal, too. My grandmother used to talk about what it was like when my grandfather-to-be would visit...the whole family sat in the parlor with him and made polite conversation. This was their sole interaction other than seeing his family at church. She was convinced my grandfather was there…

But...but...what about the DOGS!!!11!

If you don't need to track that one (I do, because I go over too often), you can always change your settings so you track something else, like calcium intake.

Oh wow! What an achievement!
