Blonde jokes
Ok I'll start-feel free to add more! I Want to Buy That A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner. The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black. The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and…

Will I survive this?
I've been dealing with this whole bipolar 2 rapid cycling and anxiety crap for almost 4 years. I tried more meds than I can count, therapy, healthy eating, exercise, going to the hospital, all of it. Nothing is working. I'm tired. I have just about lost all hope that I will ever get better, even a little bit better. I keep…

HRM is driving me nuts
I have a polar FT7 that has worked beautifully for months and now it's acting up. It's registering my heart rate as 0, then sometimes it does register my heart rate but then halfway through my workout I'll notice it says heart rate 0 again. I bought replacement batteries but can't get the back off the computer part. I…

Working with the elderly
I've been working the past 7 years as an accountant and I'm not really happy. I don't get much sense of accomplishment from it, and I don't feel like I'm helping anyone. I have been thinking of working with the elderly in some capacity instead. Is there anyone who can share their experience with me regarding assisted…

Raise a glass to this Mom!
That's what you get scumbag!!! A young Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby on New Year's Eve, less than a week after the baby's father died of cancer. Sarah McKinley says that a week earlier a man named Justin Martin dropped by on the day of her husband's funeral, claiming that he…

Greek yogurt
I want to like it, I really do. It's just way too sour for me. Any suggestions on how to make it better? Plus I'm not to crazy about the texture of yogurt-needs something crunchy in it like granola.

Amazed everyday...
So I've lost about 40 lbs and people are noticing. Which is ok i guess, not really a big fan of being the center of attention. Anyhow, a woman I work with is planning our holiday party and asks what I want to eat. I told her I can eat anything. To make a long story short, she is ordering chicken and potatoes and assumed I…

Those with children
Does anyone else find raising children is MUCH harder than they thought it would be? I have one 3 year old daughter and she is literally driving me and my husband crazy. She's defiant and sassy. I feel like I spend all my time with her correcting her and threatening her with punishments (no cartoons, time out, etc) to get…

How do you fight off a cold?
My 3 year old has so kindly been coughing in my face for the past week and I'm starting to feel like I'm coming down with it too (shocking, I know). I usually take the zicam melts (zinc, vitamin c) to try to fight it off and it seems to help. Anyone have any other ideas on how to fight off colds this season? Just curious…
-
What would you do?
I'll try to keep this as short as possible-looking for some advice. My Mom has been really the only parent in mine and my husband's lives in the last 10 years. His father died long ago and his mother just recently died of cancer after a long estrangement of 14 years. They hadn't spoken (she took off and left him as a young…

Anyone with travelling spouse?
My husband travels for work and I'm finding it difficult to handle. We have a 3 year old and it leaves me as a single parent. This is a fairly new occurance-within the last year or so and I'm still getting used to it. It's tough. I have anxiety and it tends to act up when he's away-I guess I don't feel safe or something,…

Looking for support-death in family
Hi MFP friends. Been away a few days. It's a long story but my husband's mother passed away tues morning and it's been quite difficult. He had a difficult childhood and they were estranged and hadn't spoken in 14 years. We got a call she was close to death in FL (we're in PA). My husband wanted to say goodbye so we hopped…

Toddler and dentist help?
My mom and I are taking my 3 year old daughter to get 2 cavities filled in her baby teeth today at 5. My nerves are a little shot over it. I'm scared they will cause her pain and she'll meltdown. I personally have serious issues with the dentist and take enough tranquilizers to put down a rhino when I go in to get cavities…

Oh why can't I quit you....
starbucks iced caramel latte? There are just certain things I refuse to comprise on with my new habits. Well, there's milk in it so that's calcium right? Anyone else have something they just won't quit?

Yo momma!
Oh yes I did! Yo mama so stupid she thought the credit crunch was a new chocolate bar Yo mama so stupid it took her 2 hours to watch 60 minutes Yo mama so stupid when she saw the NC-17 (under 17 not admitted) sign, she went home and got 16 friends Yo mama so stupid when your dad said it was chilly outside, she ran outside…

Jacked up
So I took a nasty tumble down some outside stairs yesterday morning. If it wasn't me who fell, I would've thought it was awesome. My slip on shoes flew off and landed 15 feet away, it was that gnarly. Anyhow, when I fell, I hit my back on the step and strained my shoulder backward trying to catch myself. My back hurts…

Ok friends, let the *kitten* kicking commence...
I really don't want to go to the gym at lunch today. Once I get there I'll be fine. I'm just tired, and I have a headache from all the caffeine I drank trying to stay awake. Watch out, the waaambulance is passing by. I don't usually ask for motivation, but it'd be nice to hear some tough love today. So bring it on!

Help!
I have to go out for a late dinner tonight for business, and there is nothing healthy on this menu! Can you give me some advice of what sounds the least terrible on here? I'm trying to stay on goal this week every day, and by the time I go out, I'll have about 500 calories left, including a trip to the gym at lunch. And…

Brag about it
I feel like I can't brag about my weight loss success with people. I end up feeling like a conceited (sp?) jerk. But I'm so excited about my success and I'm tired of holidng it in. YAY! GO ME! I feel great, and I've EARNED every last ounce that I've lost, and I'm proud of myself. *Pats self on back* Ok your turn.

Ugh honestly?
It's only 9 am and my supervisor is in her office loudly cursing. She's already walked past my desk 4 times today to complain about 4 different people. For the love of God, can you please at least wait to commence your *****ing until I finish my coffee? So stressful to listen to. Putting on my headphones to drown it…

Sorta dreading halloween
I have a 3 year old and she loves candy (what kid doesn't right?). Anyhow, I am dreading the huge bag of candy she's going to bring into the house from halloween and then shout at me all day that she wants a piece, and then wants more 10 minutes later. I of course give her only one and then tell her that's it. But that…

What an awesome day
I had to force myself to the gym yesterday, and then force my weight training at home last night because I was so tired. My reward today? I lost 2 lbs, putting me over 30 lbs lost which is AWESOME When I got to work, a coworker had brought me my favorite iced latte as a surprise I feel so much better mentally and…

Married to a man child?
I love my husband dearly. He is an awesome guy. But sometimes I feel like I have 2 kids instead of just the one I gave birth to! He can never remember to do anything, doesn't notice what's going on around him. Doesn't notice the garbage is overflowing, or the dog is flipping out because he has to go outside. He'll tell me…

A Mother's Love-warning, very sad
If there is a heaven, this woman is certainly there...Any mother I know would have done what she did. I know I would. Pass the tissues please. Cancer-stricken mom chooses baby’s life over hers Stacie Crimm didn’t get to share much time with her infant daughter, Dottie Mae — she’d made the ultimate sacrifice to give the…

Taste Changed?
It's so weird since I started eating better, my tastes have changed. Used to love beer battered fish sandwiches, tried to eat one the other day and couldn't stand the grease. Also diet pepsi tastes yucky to me now too :( And I used to hate dark chocolate, now it is my favorite kind. So weird. Any of you notice your taste…
