RE: Tried a 1200 calorie diet?

There's a website called sparkpeople.com that has all kinds of advice, trackers, articles, suggestions, recipes, meal plans, forums, groups, etc to use, and it's 100% FREE! I've been a member for two years now and have lost a total of 70 pounds. Quicker is not always better.

RE: First days of your broken heart

Can't say my heart was really ever broken. I cried the first time for about an hour, but then just said screw it and moved on. The second I celebrated. The third I forgot about until I realized one day that I hadn't heard from him in over a week.

RE: Warning: Macabre Thread Inside

I'd like to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming and hysterical like everyone else in his car.

RE: What A Woman Can't Do

Strike that. My cousin Judy used to play the town Santa when I was little.

Crap, I'm late. Happy Birfday anyway.

Here, this should make you feel better:




What? I thought everyone loved the pink elephant.

RE: What song are you right now? PART 2.

Goo Goo Dolls - Sympathy


Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out

And I wish for things that I don't need
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free
All I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

Oh yeah everything's all wrong yeah
Everything's all wrong yeah
Where the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt

It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true

Oh yeah it's easy to forget yeah
You choke on the regrets yeah
Who the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
Before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk and all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
Yeah

Stranger than your sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy

RE: What song are you right now? PART 2.

Not the lyrics, but just the sound of the song...

System of a Down - Spiders

RE: What song are you right now? PART 2.

Yeah, they were quite interesting. They don't play much anymore since the lead singer became a cage fighter.

RE: What song are you right now? PART 2.

Well... I think one would have to have someone in order to have an "our song".

Let's try this one:

RE: Don't Buy it

I learned the hard way after college.

RE: What song are you right now? PART 2.

Hi Merky.
It's just one of those days, lol.

RE: What song are you right now? PART 2.

For the first time, there really isn't a song that could describe how I feel right now.

RE: okay boys and girls...who is lucky enough to have a cleaning lady

Yep, Mom moved in almost 4 years ago.

RE: Think before you ink!

No pain today, but there will be soon. I'm getting braces.

RE: Think before you ink!

That's what happens when I go to the dentist. I miss all the good stuff.

RE: Think before you ink!

I thought this was gonna be about bad tattoo experiences.

RE: Have u ever think people using DEAR for impressing some one?

Where I'm from everyone says dear, sweetie, or honey when talking to others, even strangers. Maybe it's a Southern thing.

RE: Why do you love your country?

Well, I don't really, not much anymore anyway. Country's not too bad, as my Grandma would say "it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there." Want to relocate... someday... :)

RE: Why the next President of the USA should be a woman?

Bill was my fav president. I don't care who he screwed, I would've voted for him again.

RE: Greatest fear in life!

Falling & being buried alive

RE: Why the next President of the USA should be a woman?

Why not? Men have screwed it up long enough...

RE: Question: After getting along so well online - what makes a guy drop off from the face of the earth?

Some people just suck.

RE: I'm curious what you do for a living...

When I left college, I worked as a wedding/event planner and caterer. Did that for 8 years, then realized working on my feet 15+ hrs a day, 6-7 days a week had really taken it's toll on my body. Was in constant pain. So I quit.

Took a job as a secretary for a small real estate company, but after 14 months, no possibility of a raise, and the company losing it's stability in the shaky housing market, I quit again. Luckily I did; the office just closed down yesterday. :(

Now, I'm the office manager for a larger real estate company. I handle all the listings, contracts, closings, etc, plus the whines needs of 14 agents, 5 of them being some of the top producers in the entire valley.

I like my job, but now I'm thinking I'd like to sell. But not now, at least not until the market's better. It's cut-throat out there now.

RE: I remember when...

I remember Sunday afternoons at Grandma's house. A whole bunch of us went there every Sunday afternoon and Grandma would fix dinner for everyone. Us kids would play out in the yard or on the roof. We weren't allowed inside if it was nice out. On holidays, even more family came and it was a HUGE event.

I remember on Easter, Grandma would spend weeks filling big plastic easter eggs with candy (one for everyone, including the adults, so about 100+). Then the adult women would gather all us kids in the living room and close all the curtains and tell us stories of the bible, while the adult men would take all the eggs and hide them all over the property. Then when they were done, everyone would go look for their egg. Some of the guys whenever they'd find each other's eggs would rehide them.

Also remember when me, mom, my aunt, and cousins would take walks. Usually up the hill behind Grandma's house to the cemetery, or sometimes a few miles halfway to the next town. Sometimes we'd take old ice cream buckets and fill them with wildberries for Grandma, and she'd bake them into a cobbler. :)

Wow, now I'm getting nostalgic.

RE: what is the charity of your choice...

I have a soft spot for homeless vets, but there's no charity around here for them. And I don't like giving out money cause I'm not supporting someone's drug or alcohol habit (and you never know what someone will spend the money on). But I will buy them something to eat and give it to them.
