I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, whether I'm alone or not. I don't like being manipulated into celebrating by Hallmark.

Due to my PCOS I've gone as long as 3 years without a period. and as long as two years having one, non-stop.

I'm sure you're a fine swimming instructor. Among the sports I hate (which is most of them), swimming is my worst nightmare. I would say not all who dislike sports would like swimming.

The first college I attended did this at freshman orientation. It was successful in creating racism.

My parents tried to force me to do sports, including cheerleading, and I was miserable. My mother harped on the tiny amount of excess weight I had maybe 20 pounds). I grew up believing that I was hideously fat and that I was useless because I liked theater and dance instead of sports. I wish to this day my parents had let…

I do (or don't do) my makeup to please myself.

I know it sounds counterintuitive but not eating enough foods can cause loss in muscle mass, not fat. You need to eat. Cutting out food isn't the answer. There's nothing inherently evil about bread or pasta or cheese, etc. Just control the portions. Your body will thank you.

New friends of our are board gamers and I'm so happy because I could get my BF into it! Now we spend all weekend at their place playing games.

*waves hand* I do.

Does this also include board games? Because while I am a gamer, I also play board games. Faves include Carcasonne, Eurorails, Ticket to Ride, Thurns and Taxis, Richochet Robot, 7 Wonders.

Wait, I don't get why you wouldn't say something about something that creeped you out in an effort to not embarrass this guy who did such a really creepy thing?

Have you been cutting the calories, or just the types of foods you eat?

I know I posted this before, but I went on a date with a guy once, who spent the entire time trying to sell me on Amway.

Interesting. During my bad bouts of anemia I crave ice, coffee grounds and dirt. Never brussel sprouts, I guess they don't pass the pica test.

I cut in hallf, toss in olive oil, salt, pepper, and roast at 350 for about 30 minutes. They caramelize. But if you don't like them, don't eat them.

I feel like people have varying degrees / levels of PCOS. My doctor told me some were more acute; that is, the symptoms might suddenly appear, but after some weight loss, etc., those symptoms would go away. On the other hand, I can date symptoms/signs of my PCOS going back to when I was 5 years old, and my doctor told me I…

I drink the amount of water I feel like when I'm thirsty. I must be doing it wrong.

Who is the judge of what constitutes "healthy" on my grocery list?

Beef tongue.

I do have to say, having my leg amputated would make me lose more weight, though.

I do feel like I have one arm too many...

You can only control your own thoughts and actions,.

“What’s needed today, now, more than ever, is ‘Star Peace’ for there is an ominous, mutual threat to all science fiction. It’s called ‘Twilight’. And it is really, really bad...Let’s us all just live and let live – long and prosperously. And, may the force be with you always!" --George Takei

I would respectfully disagree with you. I love Natural History, it's always being updated. There are several different areas other than the dinosaurs. And I do think the Zoo is worth seeing. Naturally crowds gather around the pandas but there are m,any animals worthy of seeing.

It's the Department of Commerce, 15th and Penn..

You'll have long lines everywhere, because it's the beginning of peak tourist season, but I would check out the National Archives (7th and Pennsylvania NW) - you can see the Constitution and Magna Carta and the like. And there are always exhibits. Depending on your other interests, there are various things to see - if you…

Milk. Milk repulses me. But offal does not bother me at all.

Eat more protein, fewer carbs. Or save calories for the things you want.

Are you responding to a specific post?

okay... I shoot .50 BMG, and I know many who do, which is why I asked.
