Re: Flameful confession
Ahh, man! And here I was all excited to help you guys get to the 10 page goal, but as usual, I'm late to the game. So I'll just leave these here for you guys to check out in the morning.
*zips up flame-retardant suit*
My neighbors upstairs adopted a little 3-4 year old boy. I'm trying to figure out how long is long enough before I go bsc about all the noise they're suddenly making.
I should be looking for a "real job" but I can't get it together. I have no excuse other than we live in a place that rains a lot and I'm terrified of driving in rain since my accident last Feb, almost a year ago. (I finally started counseling for that.)
I want to move for so many reasons, but one of the major ones is that I don't like kids, and our apartment complex is very kid friendly. I'm also annoyed that the one couple we've made friends with since moving are expecting. Figures.
I can't stand my BIL. I've tried to overlook his shortcomings, but he's just an azzhat. And I refuse to be kind to someone who calls me stupid (I'm not), fat (I am, and I'm working on it) and blatantly ignores me, even when other family members are around.
I'm a binge eater. It makes the whole losing weight thing very hard. I can go and kickass in the gym, but if I come home and binge on cheese, peanut butter and pistachios, it kind of defeats the purpose. I know this, and I'm working on it, but it's not easy.
Yep yep yep. I love my MIL, but some of things my H does/worries/complains about are her fault. I use to love hanging out with her, but sometimes It can be a chore since she complains about the same things.
Stupid freaking double posts.
I need my mom gone soon, I am tired of her acting like a child, especially when it is stuff she would never have allowed me to do while living in her house.
Like making a mess in the oven and not cleaning it up.
Holy double standard, Batman!
This thread was one big let down.
I kept scrolling to see where things would get interesting....
still scrolling............
This would be a lot more interesting if people would get ruffled.
I am pretty close to listing the husbands of BNOTBers that I don't like.
::insert MarriedName quote::: "Because this is the fking kumbaya board::::
A snail can sleep for three years.
I wish I were a snail.
Ala,
Once I hit my goal weight should I maintain or choose a new goal. In 5'6 147 trying to get to 140. If I did choose a new goal or would probably be 130-135.
Wow - longest thread ever. lol
I did not have fun on vacation, it was stressful and exhausting and being on crutches fvvcking sucked. But I can't complain because I spent 5 days in Cancun, blah blah blah.
And for 10-pager fuel:
KNavy - do what you gotta do, but I do not agree with it. I don't think it's healthy for anyone involved and I come from a long line of "ignore it and it will go away-ers". I know you think you're being strong for your mom's sake, but you're really being weak in the same way she is. You do not need to accomodate your abuser's feelings. Of course, this is my opinion having never experienced abuse, so take it for what it's worth.
As much as I like most of the people here, there are really only a few I'd want to meet. I don't think I could ever go to a big gtg because I probably wouldn't be able to hide my dislike for some people and would end up being the snotty biitch.
I screamed "shut up" at 2 in the morning because there was a baby crying in the room next door to us. Why do people bring BABIES on vacation? Leave it at home or go somewhere "family friendly". That is code for "no one will care when your crotchfruit cries uncontrollably and you look around like, 'what? it's just a baby and I have every right to be here at this resort!'"
I miss the postsecret app, and I am sad so many people didn't get to see it before they shut it down (never was available to androids, etc). Some of the whiney HS drama posts were annoying, as were the peen pics and "Tiger Text" crap, but there were some really substantial posts on there.
They tried to fix some the issues but I don't think they tried hard enough before calling it quits. What a shame, that app was actually turning into a daily addiction (not just for me but many other users) and actually did bring some folks closer together through it's messages. I will miss it, even though at first I was not sure about it.
Oh man, that really sucks a big fat one. I'm so sorry the vacation wasn't exciting and relaxing like expected. And the baby crying... oh HELL no, that's just frickin irritating.
Also, your advice to KN is solid. I totally agree with you on that.
Never heard it called that, but I like it and it gave me a good laugh!
And probably the most shameful thing? I took notes on the post so I would remember what to comment.
1. Knavy - I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. It's not an easy situation, but I don't think here is necessarily the right place to get what you're looking for. I'm with Staza in that I can in no way relate to the situation, but I found it odd that you were almost wanting someone to flame you for your choice and instead found the (expected) support (You said after many comments.. it was okay for anyone to go against you). What's with that?
2. Ala - I'm disappointed in you. We need updates on your ghost! We didn't know you made him Italian. How dare you.
I don't know how you go so frequently with so little sleep. When i was younger I'd go on about 5 hours of sleep 5 days a week, then on that 6th day sleep 12 solid hours. I don't function well without sleep. I typically because b!tchy and make really stupid mistakes
I want a smart phone too, but I think only in the "Everyone has one" sense. I don't want to pay for the smart phone, I don't want to pay for the data plan (ATT prices are outrageous) and I already have a tablet, a laptop and a semifunctioning phone. Put them all together and what do you get? A smartphone! LOL, basically I don't need one, and can't afford i, but still feel "left out"
WTH happened with Jade?
Ala - If you could move anywhere without regard to whether you'll be able to sell your current home or get a job in the new location, where would you go (Within the US).
Confession: I like when the husband isn't working. For incredibly selfish reasons. He doesn't feel as good about himself and money is tight, but my house is more clean and i don't have to clean it. He does the dishes; he vacuums the floors; I still do the laundry, but he does everything else.
If he was working, I'd probably spend the supplemental income on someone to clean the house. This is how much I hate cleaning, but it seems to be mostly to do with having to clean up after someone elses mess. Before I lived with him I lived in a borderline OCD home. Everything had a place and it looked incredibly good in that place.
Hallows - If I were in your shoes, I probably would never say anything about the neighbors. It's part of living in an apartment. You are wanting to move anyway, sounds like now would be a good time.
MN - I'm so sorry your vacation sucked!! Stupid bastard that hit you effed everything up! I can't imagine trying to do a vacation on crutches.
Sorry you had a less than fun time
Yeah, babies + vacation = no fun for BNOTBers.
After that goal is accomplished maybe set a new goal that is health related again. Not necessarily weight related, but maybe training for something or trying new classes or something.
Keep it varied and interesting!
