My sister and BIL own a Cross Fit gym. They bugged me for years and I finally gave in a year ago. I LOVE IT. So much fun and I am so much stronger and confident. Our gym is really like a family too. The first few weeks were really hard but it gets easier. I still feel like I'm going to die sometimes...

Glad you had fun. My Dad has been running deep sea fishing boats since before I was born. I get sea sick though.

An Amber Jack was the hardest fish I've ever caught. It went through myself, sister, mom until finally my Dad had to reel it in. Those suckers are fighters.

I love the books and the show. This show is one of the few that rivals the books. He does have a way of making you start liking hateful characters - Jaime Lannister....

I'm glad they've moved away from the soft core porn this season. The sex scenes in HBO shows get a little tiresome.

I work from home too so I have to have internet. I cut cable a few months ago and now just have Netflix.

I miss watching the news in the mornings and when I make dinner at night. Other than that, I don't miss it. I need one of those converter boxes so I can get the local channels.

My co-worker emailed me about his dog today with almost the same story. Vet diagnosed IBD.

Loved this book.

The second book is my favorite of the series.

My friends and family keep telling me I need to date and "find a boyfriend" but people can be so creepy and weird, the thought scares the crap out of me.

Note to self - keep my driving in the West where we don't have these crazy turnpikes.

I don't know what they are called. There was no ticket, no notification, no indication on GPS. I was driving along and bam, unmanned toll booths where the only option for paying was change. The booths would not take dollars or credit cards. Here, the few toll roads we have are very clearly marked wi...

emmalou

We don't have many toll roads around here and I rarely carry cash and occasionally only have pennies.

The last time I went to Oklahoma for work there were toll roads that only had change catchers. It was pure dumb luck I happened to have a bunch of quarters in my wallet.

I have to watch what I do with my glass of water for bedtime. If I leave it unattended, Jasper Cat drinks out of it. I love him, but not enough to share water with. Black Cat is a vicious heathen who would like to rip apart anyone but my son. Other than that, they are pretty civilized.

I was just talking to my Mom about this very thing last night. I'm going through a divorce, have the kids full time and am working 60+ hours a week. My kids are generally very well behaved, do well in school, etc but they do have their moments and my consequences for their actions have gone out the ...

My office is in Greenville, SC. I love it there. It's only a couple hours from Atlanta and as far as I've been told does not get nearly as hot and humid as Atlanta. It's a college town (Clemson) and has a beautiful, bustling downtown scene. Housing is incredibly affordable.

It's hard to be a parent these days. The tolerance level for kids seem so utterly low. The same people that lament that parents these days are doing a crap job raising kids are the same ones that bitch about kids irritating them doing normal kid stuff. (no, I'm not calling out anyone in this thread)...

I kept wondering where that 355 number came from. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/04/opinion/how-many-mass-shootings-are-there-really.html?_r=0 While I think gang violence, domestic violence, etc victims lives are just as valuable, I also think comparing these incidents with situations like Charlesto...

All our grocery stores have a gift card wall that includes cards for local movie theater chains. Or you can get a Fandango card.

They are my Grandma and Great Grandma's favorite recipes in their own handwriting. I included pictures of them. My best friend and DH think they're great. I have them all wrapped and ready, but I have a knot in my stomach about giving them. :? I find this season so stressful. It's the thought that ...

How much of the relentless pointing fingers at muslims and demonizing them helps in making them feel they are our enemy. He may have originally been one of us but with the constant hatred directed at them in what is supposedly their own country why wouldn't their allegiance be damaged. Not an excus...

emmalou

Us vs Them Our rather large Muslim community has been crying out that this is no different than Charleston or PP. Intellectually, I agree. Emotionally though, I think Americans very much have an Us vs Them mentality. We are a patriotic lot. We love our country, warts and all. Patriotism is drummed i...

Agreed Code3. I think the internet not only gives it a platform but fuels it. How many of your friends post ridiculous memes and believe them to be true? Quite a few of mine do and don't bother to take 5 seconds to google. So many people are so outraged and misinformed and I do blame it on the inter...

They are now calling this Islamic terrorism. The wife "pledged allegiance" to ISIS? WTF woman does that? One who wasn't born here. One who probably had an agenda when she married an American as a mail order bride. Also interesting that he quit his Mosque shortly after returning with her f...

So much improvement from first to last! Good job.

First I was "why is he being such an evasive booger".

Last I was "oooh pretty!"

Ya'll are making me feel very inadequate. Last night was quesadillas and oranges. If my ground beef defrosts in time, I'm going all out and making crock pot chili today. You don't need to let your ground beef thaw. Just put it in the crock pot with the other stuff. It will actually come out more te...

I really don't think it's in the realm of possibility. Trump will not be elected president. We may have our stupid moments but we're not that stupid. Trump and Carson are good media so they are blasted all over our screens. Campaigning hasn't even revved up yet. I expect next year the ludicrous will...

Another thing I haven't had to worry about for a decade. Blech. A lot of my friends are having babies. No thank you!!

Being newly single myself, thinking about delving in to the dating world makes me want to hurl. Good on you though. I'll just wait for the stork to magically drop off someone perfect on my doorstep.

Our election laws are weird and vary by state. There are ballot access laws that vary by state, determining what other parties can be on a ballot besides Republican and Democrat. They have to meet certain requirements by each state such as registering enough voters in that party, winning a certain p...

My prescription service drives me nuts. An automated service calls me every month to refill. When a real person finally gets on the line they start with "what can I do for you?". Ugh, you called me!

emmalou

Our customer service is very important to us, but we're a small company. We only have one rep, so sometimes you have to wait for a call back for a couple hours, but at least you get to talk to a real person. I have a bit left to pay on my student loans. My interest is so low, I never bothered to pay...

Emmalou, can that law be preemptive or is it used after an incident has occurred? It's called Criminal Storage of a Firearm. I think it's preemptive but how would the police know you keep a weapon around kids unless something terrible happened or they entered your home for other reasons? A year or ...

emmalou

Yes. I was more thinking of youth coaches than actual professional players.

emmalou

Interesting point that I haven't thought of before Spiritpaws. Society and our life styles are so different than they were even 100 years ago. Not only do sports give kids a physical outlet but also a sense of belonging, roll models, goals and teach respect, determination and hard work.

California has a law against leaving unsecured loaded weapons where a kid can reach them.

Too many Ps.

My Mom makes the best plain grilled cheese sandwiches. She uses a ton of butter. Melts a pat on a small skillet, toasts one side, removes sandwich, melts another pat and then does the other side of the sandwich. I discovered pimento on my many trips to South Carolina.

I got front row tickets last night! You probably saw my hysterical face on screen! One of the best nights of my life!

It just seems self-serving. And given the fact that I know the people in my facebook feed that do it... there's an element of narcissism and self-importance about them in real life too. Mixed feelings about doing it for businesses/organizations. I do the majority of the social media (well, facebook...

Good tip on the freezing. I stopped buying buttermilk because I would only need a little and the rest would be wasted.

My Grandma used to drink buttermilk.

I do Chance's trick of adding vinegar to regular milk. It seems to work fine.

I love soda bread. I'm going to have to try the King Arthur recipe.

Holy cow Snork. We don't get trick or treaters at our house but go to my parents' who live in a suburb. Some years the streets are just swarming with kids but this year was very light. We figure since it was on Saturday, a lot of parents took their kids to the fancier neighborhoods. I love Halloween...

Goldfish crackers with large glass of milk is a guilty pleasure.

My kid got 10 pounds of candy last night. Yes, I weighed it. 10 pounds and not a Baby Ruth to be found.

Why can't we call them both out for their atrocious behavior? Yes, the officer is an adult and in a position of power so IMO his behavior was exponentially more atrocious. However, her behavior was also atrocious. Being yanked out of her chair and thrown across the room does not all of a sudden make...

All I've seen is that he was sued years ago by a couple for excessive force and other things. The jury ruled in favor of the officer. He currently is being sued along with the district and numerous others by a student who claims he was unlawfully expelled. It doesn't matter if her actions initiated ...

He stated something to the effect of....we must not lose sight that this student initiated this situation by her actions. She is responsible for initiating this action....
