Help me follow your logic. Are you saying that someone who suggested a cat scratch wouldn't kill a child obviously never had kids? I don't follow. I said pretty much the same thing in a previous response and am doing a pretty good job of raising two girls with my wife. Do you mean "obviously never *birthed* a child"? I…

How close are you to your cousin? Is this your cousin's only child? (parents often have different ideas of protection/risk with the first/only kid). How did the conversation about the cat go before you decided to move in together? Unless the kid has some immune system issues or has a severe allergy, I don't know that…

Great post. Thank you.

Sometimes the difference between standing up for yourself and trying to show someone else that they are wrong is hard to see.

What she thinks doesn't matter. It doesn't affect you at all. Let it go. Say nothing. You don't owe her an explanation, and certainly not unless she asks and you want to tell her. Why do you want to say something impacting? Isn't that you minding *her* business? You say she is doing great and you are happy for her. Nurture…

Mike wrote in a reply post: I'm concerned that the problem-solving described here may be a little myopic, and is potentially supporting another problem that isn't always looked at carefully. What if there were 500 abuse reports in your example? At some point you have to consider the possibility that the abuse reports are…

Thanks for posting this Mike. It is completely in line with the others posts you've made. I know you have a huge responsiblity with so many people on this site. I respect that you owned the mistakes. I only wish you might have posted this sooner. I think some people felt singled out, and/or that topics were being…

Connecting with integrity to other human beings, by being willing to be honest, vulnerable and self-aware. This starts with my family (wife and two daughters) and grows from there to include anyone. That connection is the foundation of love and respect, the building blocks of all human relations.

Buy. If it's something you like and can afford, don't let the need for a good deal force you into settling. I've watched so many of my friends wind themselves into a frenzy about making sure (dammit!!) they get the absolute best deal they could, then losing out on things they really wanted. Think of it this way. Even if…

Wow. I was worried your thread was about something else... long story, don't ask ;) Very cool you are seeing progress already. I lose in my face first too. This site does make things pretty simple. It's all just math. Of course, simple doesn't always mean easy. Your MFP ticker looks like you are aiming to lose 70 pounds?…

How do I calculate the crying afterwards?

Thank you for introducing new fears into my brain. And ideas for children's books. (Bobby the Butt Spider)

Always. Always. Always keep snacks on hand at work (or school,etc.). Find stuff that doesn't spoil - protein bars, Larabars, nuts, cans of soup. It's hard being hungry without any good choices available. As others have said, try to wait it out, drink a bunch of water. If you truly don't think you can wait it out, at least…

Dogs. Without question. Cats are *kitten*.

Wow. What an Ignatius Reilly type post. Username, avatar, life all converging....

I am jealous of that. You. Awesome.

First off, I think it's misguided to contextualize someone else's feelings. You may *think* she's jealous, but it could be any number of things. I encourage you to focus on your feelings, and other people's behavior. It is a whole lot less crazy-making. I've had personality conflicts at work before. There is a woman at my…

Thank you for the articulate response. I am familiar with Meyers-Briggs. (ENTP here). Also thanks for imputing. I had to look that one up. New word for me - and a good one. I don't necessarily agree with what I think to be your main argument - that people are "wired" to react the way that they do. At least, I don't think…

Yeah, always a tough call. But it makes you credible. I like you more and more with every post you write. And I do thank jeebus. Good to read this. I respect those who can take criticism. Remain teachable, I think you'll be fine. Life is about learning and making incremental improvements. At least that's what my cat tells…

You know what they say about people attracting complicated drama into their lives because they need the drama to focus on? They say that.

OK, here is what you do. First girlfriend/you want to make this work. You know where her house is. Wrap yourself completely in Saran Wrap... Oops! Never mind, wrong advice. Why don't you buy her flowers and either have them delivered with a note asking for a date, or ring the doorbell and be standing there with said…

I've talked with you before and suspect you are smart enough to realize you are kidding yourself with that response. Nothing wrong with seeking confirmation/advice for something already done - just present it as such. And I don't know about how you define "taking an interest in" but in the real-world lexicon that I refer…

I don't understand why you are asking this question. You have already taken interest in another guy and posted about it here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/337254-question-about-how-guys-work And that thread was started almost an hour before this one. I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong. You broke up with…

Pass him a folded up note that says: Do you like me? Check one: And below that line, put a giant box labeled YES and then a really small one way down at the bottom labeled NO. Works every time.

Upload more pics of your bathroom?

This whole thread kinda freaked me out. Just went to places I didn't expect. Also, the gerbil. But props to the original poster for not getting bent out of shape over some of the harsher replies. Sorry that you aren't getting the cruise you want.

Agreed. But more important, is Hooha really a proper noun?

Do you have access to a refrigerator? Buy some cottage cheese. You can put fruit, nuts, even strawberry preserves in with it - or just plain. I love cottage cheese, it is a great source of protein and leaves me feeling full for awhile. I traveled recently and when I got to my hotel, I immediately walked to the nearest…
