Dragon Age. All of them. Repeatedly. LOL :) I can't believe that in 19 pages, only 6 people mentioned DA! I think I'm friends-requesting all of you...

it can also be a sign of low potassium. the meds i used to take stripped potassium and until i switched, my doctor warned me to watch out for that sensation.

two years ago, i got him a gift certificate for a discovery flight - he has always wanted to learn to fly a plane, so he got to go up in a cessna and take over the controls and fly around for a while. i kept telling him i got him a piece of paper for christmas, and we had a bunch of jokes about him making a paper airplane…

came back to see if it was nuked yet...i'm STILL not stepping in it...all right, i've commented now, thread will certainly disappear in three seconds.

quote that? because i read the post several times and didn't see it. wait, whatever, never mind. i know better than to stick my foot in the forums any more, because i just don't have the patience.

did the OP ask for advice? i must have missed that. it's obviously pretty easy to just "go get a job" right now. i just left GRAD SCHOOL qualified to teach college, and after four months unemployed, i was lucky to snag a part-time contract job this semester, pays about $400 a month, after two years of university teaching…

can't wait. it feels like it's been forever.

i'm trying to remember what the booklet said that came with my scale. it measures water %, and it said something like 35-40 (ish?) was average. i just moved so i don't know where the booklet is to double check. i generally measure in the high 30s, but i also have high blood pressure and take diuretics to keep my water…

this was legit my face the first time i heard of these. my fiancé is hunting down a bag. he may have to keep them under lock and key.

congrats! i'm working on quitting right now. i've quit several times before, but always started back up, because i never really *wanted* to quit. i still considered myself a smoker. this week, my uncle lost his battle with lung cancer. it just...clicked in my head. i don't want to be a smoker any more. not just that i want…

i have one on the ball of my foot. i was spinning around in my mother's sewing chair, hit a needle stuck in the carpet, and it broke off inside my foot. mini-surgery and 12 stitches. it totally ruined summer camp for me that year. my youngest son has a scar running down through his eyebrow...from a rabbit. i was holding…

1200 was MFP's recommended 2-lb loss when i started. after that was 1 1/2 pounds, which actually increased my loss temporarily. the next was after i adjusted my activity settings from sedentary to lightly active. then again back to sedentary while logging everything out of the ordinary.

probably not a metabolic issue. but it was longer than a few days between changes. that list of calorie #s was a year's worth. a month or so without changes in between. i couldn't go down from 1200, so going up was the only option. and i would start to lose again after the change, quickly for a couple of weeks, and then…

looked. saw. shook my head. left. heh...

i can't be the only person with this issue, can i? LOL...

interesting - i didn't know that dairy was an eczema trigger. i might have to try cutting that back. i get stress-induced eczema on my hands and arms. after my doctor tried almost every steroid cream on the market, going up in strength, we finally got to a dosage that cleared it up. it was an ointment, which absorbs faster…

this forum is probably not the best place to ask for advice on this topic, lol - you'll get dogpiled. i didn't read through the entire thread, but you probably already have. i was in open relationships for many years. my fiancé and i met while we were both seeing several other people. my experience is that there are people…

edit the IMG to lowercase: img ETA: someone beat me to it :) wonderful job! congrats!

my sweetie is slightly overweight, but maintains it without gaining most times. it bothers him, but not enough to do anything about it. he's going to start creeping up eventually and realize it, but until then, i can't change him. he hates exercise, hates the outdoors, and is the world's most ridiculously picky eater. he…

hahaha...i love birds. i own one: a darling senegal parrot. i'll resist posting a pic of him out of respect to the OP ;o) my fiancé works with someone who's terrified of birds. if one lands on the street near him when he's walking, he'll freak out and run away. he helped us move, and my parrot was out and took off flying,…

lol i kinda gotta disagree too. all three of mine were unplanned, and i'm a woman, and i was married at the time. i had issues with various forms of hormonal birth control and switched between several methods, and some were...less effective than others. ETA: i gained a ton of weight with all of mine. lost most of it…

we have a limited number of things that my fiancé and his kids, and me and my kids, will all eat. we eat a lot of those things. heh. i miss my larger range of cooking skills, but i give them rein at times they won't cause household stress. i am an adventurous cook and i love everything, and my kids were raised like that -…

i'm going to have to go looking for that! i've only seen the regular and the pomegranate!

what is this "cash" of which you speak? is that something that happens in between direct deposit and little plastic card?

quite aware of where actual ambergris comes from, but i wore a natural mixture that emulated it :P the brand i loved changed their formula and it no longer agreed with me.

wow, there's a whole lot o' youngins on this post, aren't there? i was *gasp* ...29.

first: awesome local band called Big Daddy Meat Straw, no longer together. finest songs include "Don't Panic, We're Not Satanic (even though we mutilate cattle)." Last - i honestly can't remember if it was Tracy Grammer or the house concert with my folksy buddy Danny Dolinger (whose finest songs include "667 - Neighbor to…
