glad to see I am not the only one...I always fail to see what is so funny... @keepcalm... I tend to freak out and freeze on those open stairs....you know, the ones where you can see through the steps....yikes

Guava - had some in Indonesia, mistaking it for melon; it smelled like **** and tasted horrible....

after sun lotion

@ pechepanda: I guess bamboo...to feed the panda :p

My uncle used to do that thinking he was funny. My mum didn't allow me to be upset since 'that is how he is'. I don't see him a lot any more....but at least now I know what I can say back...

Had one recently...I am sort off sure it was meant as a compliment but still.. I was at the end of school party from the school I work, all teachers no students. It was at the beach with various activities and it was hot. So I changed into bikini top and capri. One of my coworkers told me 'I was so brave wearing that, well…

Got a compliment yesterday that a friend of mine could really see the weight loss; funny thing is that I haven't actually lost weight since I last saw here but that my body looks more composed. Today I managed to 'rescue' my buddy from 7m dept and swim him to shore (a good 20m swim) without any pain. That was enough to…

Hotel Helnan Marina in Sharm el Sheikh: the worst hotel I stayed so far; it was packed with piss drunk Russians, their all inclusive was a rip of: tiny plastic cups only at 2 bars, the other bars were billed and I have never eaten that bad in an all in hotel; it was like they didn't bother because the drunk Russians didn't…

please don't eat the bathtub...it is quite heavy on the stomach :P

I don't think there's a punch-line scheduled, is there?

Calm after the Storm - The Common Linnets (ESC runner up)

I am in on the Actifry...love love love. I make fries in it, snacks, chicken, salmon.... the fries and snacks take some trail and error but Ihave found what worked for me.

Weight loss bingo :)

Gratuliere! Next year watching the ESC with Sachertorte, Mozartkugeln and Radler (too early in the year for Sturm )

Yes she does. My favorites are Not so tough, next to me and I still cry.

Thank you :) her name is Ilse de Lange and solo she is an established country singer. I really like her other songs as well.

Didn't make it through the semi finals

Vote the Netherlands :flowerforyou:

UK: the cast from the Lion King called...they want their costume back :tongue: Miss stick reminds me of a barbie doll

Thank you! The female singer, Ilse de Lange, is our Dutch country pride. Solo she is amazing as well.

Dutchie here... of course I love our Common Linnets. My vote is for Austria so far, Conchita's voice is amazing and loved the stage. I think Poland was awful...

Friendly but stern when crossed

I've accidently 'drowned' some buddies before because I wasn't able to lift them :frown: now that trickiest part was tovremve his weight belt without grabbing his crotch (which would have been awkward since I haven't trained with him as much as some of my other male buddies)

Yesterday I was finally able to lift my dive buddy and take him to the surface during rescue training. Never able to do it so I felt happy.....pure strenght it is! Buddy isn't extremely heavy (70-80kg) but that is dead weight durng a rescue yeah

Dancing burns cals ;) double win for us

Single

high school teacher Latin and classical Greek

No she only 5-10 years older...still flabbergasted when I think of it...

I had one jaw dropping experience last year. I love scuba diving and I was at a boat with members of my dive club. At the end of the day one woman I never met came up to me and said: 'you know, I used to be 130kg like you and I got a gastric bypass. I dropped 50kg. Maybe you should try it.' I told her I was happy for her…
