Hi TWOX. What made you smile today?

I managed a brief and professional hello to my ex whilst holding a conversation (and being far more interested in it) with a colleague - and I Didn't blush!
My boss handed me a credit card and trusted me to go shopping for lots of shiny new techie toys.
My penfriend said my new language abilities are good... just need the confidence to speak it at work now!

A friend has one. I had a good go over it, and it's cheap, nasty and tacky. She loves it. Personally, I think her hubby just got it so he'd have a gazillion years of no-fuss presents, but I can't help but feel he's just ruined birthdays for her.

I'd get rid of the lazy ones. People can be rich, poor, stupid or highly intelligent - we need a mix for society to work. But the one constant drain on society is people using resources and not producing any in return.

So I'd call a mandatory work assignment, and anyone not taking part (i.e. the terminally lazy) would be culled.

I agree with it actually - although I exercise to keep my mood up, I'd feel far better if things didn't wobble quite so much. Booze and facebook are not huge sacrifices, and I will probably "spend" a year of my life (assuming I live to 90 odd) or more on trying to get slim anyway.

If it had been the case that people would trade personality traits, intelligence, a career or a loved one though... that would be worrying!

I read the title and came in to give you advice on developing a postive attitude - but life isn't handing you lemons - it's handing you idiots. The only way to respond to these types of interactions are with maturity. Simply state that as you feel name calling etc is unprofessional and childish, and if someone cannot manage an adult conversation that reflects badly on them, not you.

At the end of the day, be the adult. There is nothing so cutting as realising that the person you're trying to insult thinks less of you for acting that way.

My parents run their business through Amazon. They declare taxes in the UK (where they are resident) as personal income to the UK government, there are no Amazon tax forms.

Friend of my dad's, whilst he's stood within hearing distance, started joking about me making sure his sausage was done properly, but in other words. I was 14 and cooking at the time.

Strangling. Especially when he doesn't mention he's into it, and suddenly you have no oxygen. Fucking warn me before you try to kill me. Also, oxygen is required for my orgasm, so please don't make it any harder to get there.

Those of us with brains are gifted enough to select appropriately flattering clothes ;)

I think this is a really good idea.

I have a question though. When I put in my height and weight I get a lot of bodies in a variety of sizes and amounts of fat/muscle. What I don't understand is that the fatter ones are up to 3 sizes smaller than I am! Are people wearing clothes that are uncomfortably tight, or do we just hate stating our true size?

I have 4 that could go to the great bra place in the sky... but I might need them one day!

I would fucking kill to have DOMS in my upper ass! I've tried everything - squats, deadlifts, that funny bellydance isolation move, lunges, contracting alternate sides everywhere I go... it's like my entire ass is just refusing to go up!

lovepdc · 2 days

I love the squat. Nothing else makes my tummy that hard!

But I must be doing the deadlift wrong - my ass is just as saggy as it was 3 months ago :(

I'm nearly 26 years and I'm still good friends with a girl I was friends with aged 2.

Your teacher probably knows most of the important quotes from the subject area, so BS in that area is not going to work. Second, it's kinda easy to spot different writing styles, so good luck on convincing your teacher you had a personality change halfway through your paper. Third, why are you bothering? Teachers look for a key understanding of the subject area - most papers are easier to write than BS. Far too much effort, far too much risk.

Going out doesn't have to mean money. Volunteer, get involved with local hobby, theatre or music groups. I went and did make-up for a theatre group and for the price of 2 bus tickets I got a free meal and beer, plus a load of free make-up. Sometimes it's worth thinking outside the box.

Hell, just go for a run!

DaisyCarbine is right on the girl time thing. You're right to feel you've lost out on an important (friend) relationship here.

Since you can't escape them, why not try to get out more? I don't know if you do already, but getting more socially connected helps to alleviate sadness, and you might meet some fantastic new people.

Lastly, it is ok if you want them to tone it down. Perhaps bring it up in the right way, maybe joking around a little - but don't put the focus on yourself in the banter. Others might be better suited to suggest how to do that, because my method would be - "Hey, guys. Seriously, I'm not getting any, so get a room." But then I'm akin to a sledgehammer so...

Interesting. In week 4 the lifts drop to less than my week 1 weights! Any reason why?

Talk, but be prepared to walk. Define your wants and needs to yourself before you talk to him, and stick to that. No guy is worth sacrificing that much if he's not prepared to sacrifice the same amount.

No, high tops would look awful! I only wear those under jeans, haha. But they're similar to converse low tops, so I was just trying to evoke an image if people weren't familiar with the shoes.
