My church hosts two separate marathons at different times of the year; the 10K Race with Grace is on Thanksgiving Day, and I believe the Hospice Run is a 5K, but I don't know when in the year it is. I do believe that both of them are official qualifiers for other marathons, as well. First Bible Baptist Church, 901 Manitou…

I <3 DDO quite a bit! I've thought about making my boyfriend a t-shirt (I'm pretty good with freezer-paper stenciling so it would cost me a grand total of $4 to buy the shirt): Nothing says I Love You like You're the one I want at my side during the Zombie Apocalypse With a couple of silhouettes holding lotsa guns.

My problem is that I'm stubborn; I don't want to go get a walkthrough, I want to figure it out myself! Or, more lately, I have a coworker who is wonderfully determined to fill in my lack of childhood gaming by lending me tons of games--which means I have too much going on! I'm pretty faithful to my MMO guild once a week,…

I started with Runescape as a free user, but ended up feeling constricted by all the things the free accounts couldn't do (I was in junior high/high school and didn't have any way to pay for a subscription). Now I play Dungeons & Dragons Online, which has a fairly huge selection of quests for all levels, and you don't have…

Power Rangers is my guilty pleasure also...but I didn't stop at Turbo! Now, I did peter out after SPD (what was I supposed to do? Sky and Bridge are both cute!) but I have all the episodes I could find saved on my hard drive. And yes, I do write fanfiction as well. I spent the entire month of November writing 50K words…

We are? :ohwell: I didn't know much about this test before this topic came up; perhaps INTJ's are willing to use tools like MFP?

I'm also from Greenville, and Jack-in-the-Box is going the way of Sonic (which is too bad, since Sonic is much better) in terms of extinction. I'd never eaten at a JitB before moving down south. I can't help but feel that if JitB did more of what McDonald's has done in terms of expanding their menu to generally healthier…

To have the BMI (and doctor) say "Healthy Weight".

Greenville, SC; on the edge near Powdersville. ;) Welcome!

INTJ - Accounts payable/Data entry.... Creative writing BA, M.Ed. English -- no wonder I don't know what I want to do with my life! Of couse, if I could keep my Etsy store open and make enough money to live off of with crafting, I would do that too!

Oh good; I sure forgot! ^_^

One thing I love about Subway is their nutrition calculator on their website. Before I go out, I play around with all the options I could put on my sub so I know exactly what I'm ordering and what it's going to cost me on MFP! Big tuna or turkey fan; I top it with spinach, cucumber, pickle, tomato....but never really any…

It's not as low-cal because of the cheese, but you can use 2%: Toasty Tuna Casserole 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted in the toaster 2 cans tuna in water, drained 1 can cream of mushroom soup, condensed (I use the fat free stuff) 1 small package frozen mixed vegetables ~12 slices block cheddar cheese, or 1-2 cups…

I can understand; I keep getting told that "I'm disappearing" and "37 more pounds?" and then I get the up-and-down 'from where?' look. I have responded that because I'm freakishly tall that the weight sits differently on me. My goal is to have a healthy BMI, not to look good in tiny clothes. Now, I'm certainly not going to…

Wow, there are really some classics on here! - Batman movies with Chris O'Donnell (Val who? George? I didn't watch it for Batman...) - Superman with Dean Cain - Trapper Keepers (I probably still have mine...) - GhostWriter (PBS Kids!) - Talkboys from Home Alone - Lisa Frank (Still have some stationary,etc.) - Erasers in…

I wasn't permitted to watch cartoons on TV as a kid, but when we could sneak them in junior high, my brothers and I watched: Transformers: Beast Wars One Saturday Morning: Recess & Pepper Ann Buzz Lightyear of Star Command And nowadays I'm still a HUGE Power Ranger fan...even if that's not a cartoon.

I second the "extra litterbox" poster -- that can make a difference. I don't have ferrets, but I have rabbits and they are litter-trained as well. I know that having a second litterbox in my living room (opposite end of the house from their cage) cuts down on the amount of 'accidents' they have. Also, (and this is a rabbit…

I'm a big fan of Gina at Skinny Taste, so here are links to her Appetizer recipes, and Snack recipes. You can also check out her Desserts list and Baked Goods, etc. Hope you can find something useful! (There's probably some overlap between the two lists.) http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/appetizers.html…

Board games were what I pretty much grew up with, so I have a cupboard-ful of them... Some favorites would be: Boxers or Briefs Life (the old one with paper money, not the credit card swiper) Twister (yes, it has a spinner mounted on a board inside! It's a board game!) Munchkin Marbles (home-brew game; fun combination of…

When I saw pictures of myself from our family reunion in July, 2011. Others have said it before, but I almost didn't recognize myself. Add to that the numbness I was getting in my feet sometimes, and I knew that I had to change something. At 27, I'm on high blood pressure medication that I have vowed I will NOT be on…

You used to be able to buy the hard boxes on Ebay...this was years ago when DDR had only been released for PlayStation and PC. At the time, they were around $200 each; that was on my list for a long time! I even had adapters for PS controls to USB, so I could play it on my computer... *sigh* Oh, the old days...

Does no one appreciate the artistry? I ask you.....

Hobbies: Dungeons & Dragons Online (MMORPG), sudoku puzzles, fanfiction writing (I've been consumed with that since successfully completing National Novel Writing Month in November - 50,000 words in 30 days? Yes I did!), reading fantasy books (George R.R. Martin, Eric Flint, etc.) Talents: Crafting, up to and including:…

Agree! If I could find somewhere to buy an old machine and stick it in a spare room, I would definitely do it! Nothing quite makes a satisfying 'chunk' noise like a metal pad to let you know you got the steps right.

That's awesome! I find it satisfying to sneak classic things like that in under their noses. Must be my devious streak coming out.

I started out in Spycraft with some friends, which progressed to D&D 4e; I started out as a teenage blonde cheerleader elf wizard (yes, I did that on purpose) but got tired of having to stand in the back (I know now how awesome casters can be at higher levels) and shoot fireballs. Bigby's Icy Grasp was my favorite ability!…

Yup, I have the GameCube DDR Mario Mix, which I play on the Wii (I don't like the Wii DDR because it has hand motions which I've never been able to master). So glad I have an older Wii with the GameCube hookups! The only thing I don't particularly care for is that every so often I have to try and move the sensors back to…

I was away for the weekend and almost missed this post! Please add me; 207.8 as of this morning (had a wild weekend; got off better than I expected!). Thanks!

I think the first non-educational game I finished was probably Mixed-Up Fairytales on our first computer. However, the most memorable (as in, I was old enough to know we finished it) was the first Myst game, when the parents bought a brand, spankin' new Gateway with Windows '95. Myst came with the system! And thus an…
