I'm not happy in high heels I'm happy in walking boots, or Doc Martens), I don't have a photo and I want my kids (live in daughter and granddaughter) however much they drive me to distraction.
That's a mark against your name in the visa office, I tell you.
(If you're ever in Wales and you're trying to read the signs painted on the road, anything that begins with the word 'dim' means don't go there. Just sayin'. )
If my memory serves me correctly, rebel2 has a pic of himself wearing a pink shirt. And there was another gorgeous man from a few years back who made the women swoon with his pink shirt pic.
Perhaps there's something about a man feeling secure enough in his masculinity to wear pink, at least in my generation. I've just asked my daughter and she agrees about the masculinity thing, but she said she still makes fun of blokes wearing pink anyway.
My dad never forgets their anniversary, her birthday, Christmas, Easter, English Mother's Day, German Mother's Day...or a present for her on his birthday.
She won't let him.
Actually, he must be a little bit romantic because I suspect he started the tradition of buying her a gift on his birthday. See? I told you he was a hero.
I walked into the kitchen in my t-shirt and knickers yesterday and my daughter said, "Bloody hell mum, you can see all the muscles moving about in your legs as you walk!"
A couple of days ago someone described me as svelte.
I'm really close to that upper limit of 140lbs.
My doctor once looked me up and down and commented that I was as fit as a butcher's dog. My neighbour once commented that I'll always be slim. At the time according to the BMI chart I was verging on obesity.
I get that we can have a distorted image of what is within reason - we might think we're an okay weight when actually we're over and putting ourselves at risk. I get we're not designed to have any podge and we were fitter and healthier during wartime food rationing.
BUT...body dysmorphia in the other direction can also be dangerous. Thinking you have to get down to that lower boundary to be at your healthiest might be really unhealthy thinking. Getting half way might be really unhealthy thinking if you do a lot of exercise, have high bone density (that's healthy) and high muscle mass.
Fitness and health are far better gauges of fitness and health, than weight alone. Find your own optimum weight according to your fitness and health, I say.
Hmmm...it leaves you feeling frustrated about having less to choose from because other people have made their own choice? Yeah Lori, I'm not sure you've thought that through quite fully.
I get the pic thing in terms of being able to see the person you're talking to, or be be able to recognise who the hell they are for that matter, if like me you have a predominantly visual memory.
I've just gone picture-less because of work. I don't like having no pic, but needs must. The interesting thing about it is there appears to be a sub-culture dynamic going on amongst the picture-less. Now isn't that terribly interesting?
Yeah...ummm...I don't really know what true love is, as the existence of true love would imply the existence of untrue love and that doesn't really make sense to me at all.
I couldn't define 'love' either...buuuut...I have this funny feeling in the very core of my being that the answer is yes.
