Last year when my husband and I went to Vegas, we stocked out mini fridge with a veggie tray, wholly guacamole packets, some whole wheat wraps, spinach, deli meat, fresh strawberries and grapes, and salsa for chips. It was nice to have something some what healthy to snack on. These snack weren't chore. It was just nice to…

Sweet potato pie frappe: Makes one big drink or two small About 1/4 of a sweet potato peeled (I like sweet potato whole juice, so I just add this) 1/2 of a frozen banana (break in half before freezing for easy portions) 1/4 cup unsweet almond milk (opt) (could add some soaked raw nuts instead if you don't use almond milk)…

Probably so; good advice! :smile:

When I worked, I used to listed to NPR during my twenty min drive. It always surprised me how much actual news I'd get during the short time.

I can imagine! We got my in laws iTunes grift cards because they won't set up payment with Apple. I don't know if they used them. If they had to have an email, probably not lol.

Usaa has some of the best customer service. Wouldn't be mean to those people. It's the con artists that make me angry.

One time, I said "oh! You're the B!tch who keeps calling my husband!," .. She hung up on me :ohwell: Another time, these people who said they were from some phone book had a fake recording of my friend authorizing payment (they get you to say "yes" three times, then call saying you owe money. It's illegal, but if you pay…

One if my favorite on screen couples is Vala and Daniel Jackson, partly because I had a hole in my heart after I finished Farscape. I still ponder the ending of Battle Star Galactica. I still have a crush on Spike that rivals my all time crush on the Goblin King. I sometimes rewatch my favorite Buffy episodes. I made my…

This is really interesting. People can't control how tall they are, but it does seem more acceptable to have height ranges in dating than weight ranges (so to speak). I have also noticed that a lot of black guys will just ask a white girl, "so do you date black guys?" right away. They don't get upset, if a girl doesn't;…

:smile: thank you! I look forward to you inspirational quotes.

I don't like how it looks/feels. It is not because of a PRE-JUDGEMENT about personally, lifestyle, or anything else. Hope that clarifies....... If not, I'm thinking you just want something to argue about.

Recently, I have been trying to learn belly dancing. I have been watching you tube videos of women belly dancing and even the ones with bigger bellies look really sensual and beautiful to me. They have amazing muscle control and isolation ability, but a lot of them don't have flat bellies. It may not make your belly…

You look great and I'm glad that you are feelin so healthy! Thank you for sharing :heart:

It means I don't think any less of someone who is overweight as a person. It's like how alot of women aren't attracted to men who are shorted than them. I almost didn't reply here since I figured someone would find a way to twist what I said.
-
I never did and I don't think I would. I just find it really unattractive. It's not a judgement thing; I'm just not attracted to overweight guys. This doesn't mean that I couldn't love someone overweight. It would be different if something happened and my husband gained weight.

This is a great idea. I worked somewhere where people brought in leftover cookies and bags of chips, and left them in the break room. Everything always got eaten.

I love eggs when I want a quick late supper. Banana seems to be easy on my stomach before bed, if you are worried about feeling bloated in the morning. I also like toast or a wasa cracker spread with tahini.

I agree and if you meet the person for you, you will marry them because you truly want to commit yourself to them, not because you are lonely, or want a certain lifestyle. I was very happily divorced and never expected to feel the way I do about my husband. I think that not needing (or even wanting to some degree) to be…

They look great! You won't want to wear anything else now ????

Get a room/hotel with mini fridge and microwave. I always brought green tea and a mason jar to use the coffee maker for fresh iced tea. If you have a fridge in you room, get a veggie tray and some hummus or guacamole packets, and a fruit bowl, to keep in there. This way you will have snack foods so that you don't feel…

Thanks! I like your idea of lettuce wraps. I buy wheat wraps, but I don't want to give him one every day. I'm going to start giving him chicken too. I already freeze it in portion sizes for my husband. I don't know why it didn't occur to me that they would work for my son's lunches too. His lunches have been that hardest…

I don't get full blown anxiety, but I got a sort of constant nervous energy. I couldn't sleep and I had very little appetite. I think some of it for me was the increase in adrenaline from working out, and some was the stress of starting a new thing and counting calories. Mine went away after about six weeks. Now I am able…

Short girl problems: - girls ten years younger than me call me "sweetie" - can't buy shoes from department stores until the big sales when they bring out all of the sizes. - regularly risk getting kicked out of the grocery store for climbing shelves (I look around first!) - too short for full length anything - desks and…

I stayed chubby while I breast fed my son for 18 months. I made really healthy nutritious food choices, but I ate alot. Once I stopped breast feeding him, the weight came right off and I was pretty skinny. I wonder if some of it was being more active since I wasn't constantly stuck on the sofa with a baby attached to my…

People who honk when I'm waiting for an open spot to pull out. Sorry, but I'm not going to risk my life so they can go a little sooner. I'm not the sort to just sit there waiting longer than I need to either.
