A friend of mine and former co-worker BJ committed suicide 2 days ago, she shot herself. I didn't even see it coming. I'm just kinda in shock and I can't seem to stop crying. I don't understand....Heading to a memorial for her in a few hours.
I think its pretty safe to say that I'm a meat and potatoes kind of gal, it kinda comes with living in Idaho. So when I tell you that slugging down this Slim Fast is so very NOT satisfying and that I feel like I am being deprived *insert whining* you will surely understand.... :)
pssssttttt......pass me those cookies...
COMMENTS
Totally!
Slim Fast is a drink... where's the REAL food?
;]
*Nods*
*Passes you the cookies* I am a meat and potatoes kind of person as well, I have a love affair with food.
I am more like give me the meat, keep the rabbit food!
Slim fast didn't work for me either. Alli seems to work pretty darn good too, although your poop is really greasy and funny colored for awhile since it purges all the fat out of your system.
Whats Alli?
I've heard good things about Alli, but you have to do your bit and pay attention to what you eat, cut back on the fatty foods. Alli is the first FDA approved over the counter weight loss pill. You take it before you eat a meal and it blocks some of the fat in the food, but you have to go with a low fat diet and stick to it, otherwise I heard you really can "go" a lot...and not hold it! lol
I heard cookies!!!
*brings in fresh baked cookies* nothing wrong with that...who doesnt like steak and potatos?
It's okay for maybe one meal a day...but no more than that...*here I got ya some cake*
Ever heard of the "cookie diet?"
Do you feel that there should be laws concerning Internet Accountability? I just watched talhotblond, a true story documentary out on DVD about an Internet love triangle that ends in tragedy, it didn't really shock me but there is a twist about halfway through it that surprised me although it shouldn't had concerning some of the Internet fraudulent relationship crap I myself have dealt with in the past. Its a good film, albeit a sad one. I think everyone on the Internet should watch it. Which brings me back to the main question: Do you feel that there should be laws concerning Internet Accountability?

Internet picked up where classifieds left off.
Even if a system was put in place determined scandilous individuals would find a way to by pass them.
When
romantic classified place info verification clauses, people simply
utilized rerouting mail services.
I cannot see how Accountability would be implimented, site by site perhaps, but not the general web-scape.
yes , I think we need some. There has been cyber bulleying , rapists , and child molesters getting way with murder.
Ugggh. My son was at his dads last night so I called him like I always do to say goodnight etc...well we tease each other about things for fun like I'll say "when are you going to get my castle built?" ya know. So last night I had just gotten off the dating site I had joined last week, feeling a little disappointed and said offhand "so when are you going to find me a boyfriend?". I was kidding of course and trying to be light hearted. Well, my son giggles and says "you can have my dad". GROAN. His dad is right beside him and I can hear him chuckling. Mind you my son is serious. I quickly explain to my son that that ship has sailed, his dad is remarried etc....then he says "you still have feelings for him, why not?"...... BIGGER GROAN. Now I can feel the red creep up my neck and across my face. How do you explain to your child that those feelings are just feelings of residual LUST and nothing more, heh. "Yeah son, I would fuck his brains out but then I'd have to kick him to the curb." YOU DON'T.
Its hard when your child wants you to reunite with their parent. I forsee a long conversation in the near future. And I'm wondering what his dad is thinking....ugggh.

that is one of those moments you break out the icecream and shiny objects!
Ahahaha!!! No doubt...
Well my adventures on the dating site I joined have been pretty interesting so far lol. I just had a 20 year old hit on me good God...he won't stop messaging me lol, and one of his pics are of the bottom of his feet with silly faces drawn on his socks, uhmmmmmm, NO! It says clearly on my profile 30+. Thats just wrong in sooo many ways.....*shivers*.
Then I had a 59 yr. old message me telling me he's not like your typical 59 yr. old and to call him, he gave me his number. OK.....just what is a typical 59 yr. old? Uhmmmmm, NO.
Another guy tells me how interested he is blah blah bkah but then gives me like a questionairre to fill out LOL, this isn't a job interview dude, Uhmmmmm NO.
Then I talk to a guy I really like, he is my age and seems great, we exchange numbers and email addy's. So not 5 minutes into the conversation he steers it towards sex. Alright, I love sex like any hot blooded person but please give it a few weeks. The next 3 phone conversations go similar. There won't be anymore phone convo's needless to say.
All in all I've had at least 100 responses, not shabby, but a good man is hard to find even among the willing.
COMMENTS
Uhm Hello You're smokin'. That 20 year old has good taste even if he is a dork. lol
You'll find someone, doll. If you need someone to rough 'em up. You send 'em my way. I'll prescreen 'em. lol ;)
Hehe, I just might do that *grins*.
Sweetie you are just getting a sample of what my mom is going through , she had dates with these men and then within 4 dates there were already saying they loved her. Crazy.
Hmmmm, that doesn't sound too bad actually :P
Most men that's all they think about is sex and they can act sweet and shit online but as soon as you hand over your number it's hey baby what's your favorite position or whatever and it's like seriously how old are you really.....can I have the link to that site since I'm single again? lol
You've given perfect examples on why I avoid the places...which is too bad. There are probably 3 good ones for you out of 10,000 rejects, and it takes forever to get to find/get to the good ones.
good men are like rare creatures in the sea. You have to dig to the bottomless depths to find one!
It's early days ....much more fun to come :)
If I were you; I'd find otu why they are on an internet site. Some guys are lazy, socially retarded, too busy.... I think that may help you weed out mismatches. Just my 2 cents.
Well I have noticed that 99% of them have NEVER been married.
Pandy. I am single, aged 32. And I am a Aussie. *winks* And you DO enjoy my conversations.
Well, my daughter Brianna is 7 weeks pregnant. She is 19. She has always been pro-choice and so have I and in fact she has always said she would get an abortion if she ever found herself in this situation. Surprisingly she has decided to keep the baby, which is great as I told her I would support her whatever she decided. But I know what she is in for and I'm not sure she is ready for it, I had 2 children and was divorced from my first husband when I was 19 and those were some of the hardest years of my life. But she has a support group that I never had, I just know that she has liked her freedom and thats going to change. The dad isn't really in the picture.
My son Brandon and his wife are expecting again as well and she is 9 weeks along, its a blessing as they just lost a baby 3 months ago.
We have a fertile family :D

Wow thats great, congratulations to all and your daughter sounds very lucky to have a supportive mum like you :)
Congrates.
All the best wishes.
Spring does that .....:)
Congrats all round! Babies are proof that God wants us to go on!
Congratulations to you and your family.
Congratulations.
Your daughter will get through it all because you are there for her. She sounds like she is a very strong woman and as long as she takes it one day at a time she and the baby will be fine.
Thanks everyone :)
Alright, well I did the unthinkable and joined a dating site. Does that make me sound desperate? I just can't seem to meet anyone where I live....ugggh. I just want to find a good guy with his shit together, is that too much to ask? Oh and decent to look at LOL
COMMENTS
ya want your cake and eat it too? lol
But of course ;)
nah thats not to much to ask.... *gives the oleman the L@@K....*
Sounds like a smart idea to me, yay, a new adventure for ya, enjoy hon !
It doesn't make you desperate at all. It's hard to meet people. I think you'll do great on the dating site. You're a beautiful woman. How can some got now see you and get his man-panties in a twist over you. ;)
Yes, me and my adventures hehe ;)
Awwww Lainey, you have such a way with words :P Thanks babes :D
Darling your in Idaho, there aren't any "good ones" there. A dating site sounds way better than folding up shop and calling it quits on the whole venture.
Ya got that right, Idaho sucks.
Not if you're into potatoes....Lol. Good luck on your new venture! A good man is hard to find and a hard man is way too easy to find!
Had some sad news today, my friend Geno is in the hospital and dying of cancer. Apparently his entire body is riddled with it. There were signs but being old and cantankerous he just kept putting it off. Geno has brought so much light into my life and everyones around him, I know that his family is just devastated right now and my heart goes out to them. I wish there was something I could say or do.... :(((((((((((

Cancer is an evil bitch...the disease not Cancer.
That it is.
Pandy. You done the most of what you can do, you became his friend. (Huggies)
My Nana past away some months ago now, i hope that I know how you are feeling.
I'm sorry for your loss Gordy :(
Hey, being a friend to someone old and cantankerous is a real gift, take it from someone who knows *hugs*.
Thanks Sin.....hey, that describes me lol
Well apparently Jesus doesn't have a sense of humor *looks over my shoulder*....after my journal entry yesterday I discovered that one of my diamond earrings had fallen out of my ears, they were a gift from my ex-husband for one of my birthdays about 5 years ago. I earned those earrings dammit :((( Can't find it anywhere.
Retribution and Jesus *sighs*.

A Gremlin crawled up your back and took it
oh woops! one of the zombie armies got hungry and I just grabbed the first thing I could. sowwwwy
Na I reckon Jesus would laugh it off.
I was a very bad girl today. I couldn't resist hehe. This morning I was explaining to my 9 year old son what Easter is really about and when I got to the part where I told him that Jesus rose from the dead with a straight face I told him it was because Jesus is a vampire. *WEG* Ok, I hear all you Christians gasping but no worries I told him I was just joking. But I still had the perverse pleasure of knowing he would relay this story to his stepmother, a religious fanatic *giggles*.
COMMENTS
Actually easter is a pagan holiday.It came from the egyptians,not the resurrection of Jesus.
LOL Love it. :D
vampriss121, I don't agree, but then, religion wasn't the purpose of this entry now was it *smiles*.
Good deal! Have you heard anything back yet ? lmao
Not yet darn it lol
Hilarious, may have to mention same thing to daughter when she is older!! ;)
Actually Easter is a pagan Holiday Called Ostara but , LOL would love to have saw his face when you said that , better yet if you had told him Jesus was a zombie.
so needed a good laugh today =}
WTH?? As ancient as I am and I still get them. When I was younger I was told there was hope, that as I aged they would go away...well, they lied. Its just not right I tell ya, just not right......

It's cuz we're going through the CHANGE!!!!!!!!!
Some start younger than others.
Ahhhhh, one more side effect of the ever so lovely peri-menopause, lovely.
Oh boy - don't get me started on the complications of mid-life...!
Pandy, I would LOVE to make love to your Acne.
Oh Gordy you are one strange puppy :P

Oh my - how sad.
A similar thing happened to me about 4 years ago, with a former co-worker who shot himself - none of us saw it coming either, as he was the funny chatty guy of the office.
I hope that you weather through this okay...
