I like regular clowns who aren't insane. Balloon animals are edgy, yo.

I don't log the act itself, but I do log the costume change, wig adjustment, and saran wrap application beforehand. Also, the shame-induced crying jags that happen after.

Swanny is my hero, and everything I would like to be. I can fly higher than an eagle, because he's the wind beneath my wings.

A big problem with the Dear stupid friends/co-worker/boss/spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend posts is that it's very difficult to take these letters and put them in envelopes to mail. Even with a flat screen monitor, you have to invest in bubble wrap and a big box, plus all that postage. Not to mention the issue of electricity…

Don't forget to strike fear into parents and grandparents with the risk of razor blades in apples this Halloween. Also, a friend of a friend woke up in a bathtub filled with ice and his kidney missing!

For someone who conjures up the art of cross-examination, I expect more attention to detail. Stating "I've never posted in a thread of yours" is significantly different than stating "I've never read your posts." The conspiracy theory stuff isn't going to play out. You are welcome to try, though. I do know zaph0d pretty…

Thanks. I enjoyed myself. It made me laugh, and wasn't really going after you personally. I know it was juvenile and silly. But I did think it was pretty funny and clever. I am not trying to express my unique creativity and individualism with that avatar pic. It's funny to me. And I like the image. But your comment is a…

I hope you stick around and decide to seek out truthful information. There is a lot of really good info here, and people willing to share their knowledge. It is the Internet, after all, and it's a bit like stepping into a gigantic elevator filled with people from all over the world, with all kinds of experience and…

Seriously? You are wondering if a cute 19-year-old girl who likes computer games will have a hard time finding a boyfriend? I don't think you will have a problem. Yeah, the social awkward stuff and all that - everyone has that at 19. Most people have that until they're 80+, but it eases up in intensity as you get older.…

Smell your hand? That's just rude! Correct. Unfortunately, the vast majority of diet plans factor in exercise. Every day, people miss that detail and come charging into these threads proclaiming what their doctor, or trainer, or candlestick maker told them. And they aren't wrong, the advice givers. They are - like anyone…

Not so much romantic or sexual, but I've clicked with some people very quickly online - people that I like right away and can trust easily. Sometimes it's just the way they string words together, sometimes it is a shared appreciation of the absurd. I've been wrong a few times, but mostly have made some pretty cool friends…

Can you explain those two statements together? The second and third one. I understand the first one. You are laughing and needed to type that you are laughing.

Too bad you are leaving. This discussion needs more reasonable people like yourself. I support marriage equality, and I support people's right to express their opinion about it (both for and against). There is nothing inherently wrong with believing homosexuality is a sin. There is nothing wrong with saying that. As long…

I like cartoons.

Congrats on your weight loss. Having someone start proselytizing their cause is almost as annoying as watching strangers make grand sweeping generalities about someone they don't know. At least you didn't have to deal with that.

I bought six pouches today (3 vanilla almond, 3 maple almond) at Whole Foods.

I used to love almond milk until I found out how they mistreat the almonds. Apparently there is a real problem with over-milking. Also, the machinery that attaches to the little almond teats are not almond-friendly.

black pepper because it's good.

You should get a lozenge for that tickle in your throat. As for the poop issue, plenty of good advice already posted.

You do realize your closing comment unraveled your logic, right? Any period that could make you spend money could almost certainly also make you eat food. And probably call you names as well.

Don't forget the enormous deluge of anecdotal evidence. Somewhat related to #2, but perhaps more influential. I know for me, when I skip breakfast, and get really hungry, I tend to overeat at lunch - sometimes pushing me beyond my calorie goals for the day. I also know that the problem with that behavior (in the context of…

Great work, fantastic results.

You acted as if he should remember that you paid for the key fob. That was what I mean by remembering you. I know it's a lot more fun to pile on and talk about the faults of someone that wronged us. You will get plenty of people agreeing with your a**hat determination. (and people who will judge a man's character and job…

You are essentially asking that he remember you out of how many other parents? He forgot. He made a mistake. Maybe he was being arrogant in tone. It's the first week of school and he is worrying about a lot of parents, a lot of staff, and a lot of kids. Maybe cut him some slack? If he continues to act like a jerk, you may…

That's still option 1. You simply restated it nicer.

Pick one: 1. Accept that your husband will be honest with you, even if it means sometimes hurting your feelings. 2. Ask him to not talk to you about weight/appearance/etc. Either choice is fine. Just be honest with yourself about which one you really want.

Fair enough point, and perhaps where some of the problem lies. It's true that a lot of people are on MFP specifically because they don't know very much about nutrition. Sounds like the explanation should include more information. One of the many good explanation already posted:

Why does this logic come up in these discussions? Where did anyone say you IIFYM translates to "living off of ice cream"? The whole FYM part - Fits Your Macros - will dictate that you simply cannot meet your dietary needs from ice cream alone. Or, in fact from a whole lot of ice cream. You'll go over in fat and carbs…

Yes, I do. I think you missed the point, or misread. She specifically used the word "live." To me, that means allowing others to live their lives their own way - you can still learn from someone that way. You responded as if she was saying something like "close our minds to anything different from ourselves." Or at least…

I can't speak for the crazy cat lady who you quoted, but I do think you missed her point. There is a huge difference between sharing ideas, debating, etc. and remaining in the closed-minded web of "what I'm doing is right for me it must be right for all" mindset and insisting that others follow suit. I do agree with your…
