I know how GBCNers feel about this -- I am starting a three-day juice cleanse tomorrow. And am currently eating greasy pizza in preparation. Cue me bitching on Monday that my vision of getting into healthy eating habits and losing a shitton of weight is going to come to fruition.

I actually placed an order from Boden last week and I might even keep one of the shirts. (Dresses were ... as expected.)

mmm greasy pizza.

Mine is pretty bad. I didn't really care one way or the other about MMM splitting off (I was just lurking occasionally then), but I am pretty happy right now that I don't have to read every other post about kids. The amount we have on here is about the amount I can handle right now. I do wish more of those posters still posted over here. And I promise to stop being a debbie downer soon!

[raangoli]

Dangit. Now I want pizza. I am easily persuaded by food posts on GBCN.

We went to Oregon for vacation last week and they wouldn't let us pump our own gas. DH and I both decided that we didn't like it and it was really hard to sit in the car while someone else pumped the gas. I'm sure it would be great if it were raining or snowing, but it wasn't and it just meant we had to sit and wait for the attendant. Why can't I pump my own gas? I've been doing it for almost 20 years and I haven't killed anyone (or myself) yet.

However, I would like to offer a big *high five* to Oregon for having gas that is $.50 cheaper per gallon than we have here at home.

delay the cleanse a day or two and prep.  

/gavel from an old-time cleanser.  trust.  it's worse when you don't actually "prep" going into the cleanse.  

what's the "expectation" for boden dresses?  i recently got a catalogue in the mail and i kind of liked some of them...would i be disappointed if i ordered?

I've never had trouble going into a cleanse when I've been on bad behavior the day before -- except that it kind of shows that you aren't taking it seriously enough.  I've done probably a dozen cleanses before.  I'm annoyed enough about the timing of this one that no way am I delaying it (it will already run into Friday night, hence ruining any potential plans -- hell no it isn't touching my Saturday night).  My husband insisted on this week because he'll be working late all week, and unfortunately there were no delivery slots for us to do it earlier in the week.  I've delayed this cleanse for months because summers are always so full of drink plans, and schedule gets bad again next week, so now or never.  I'm also pretending that it isn't a terrible idea that I have drink plans tonight. 

Boden dresses were frumpy on.

you are so lucky then b/c i suffer so much when i don't prep.    

on a positive note, at least your stomach will be nice and flat for saturday night outfits!  find that romper and rock it.

I hate it when people immediately jump to "unfriend!" when someone posts something offensive a Facebook friend said.

I unfriended my husband's aunt recently because she kept posting stuff about gay marriage.  She's the only person I've ever noticed posting offensive stuff (her most common topics: abortion/Planned Parenthood/natural family planning/gay marriage/Obama).  But now I go on Facebook like 5 times a day just to see if she's posted something else that is incredibly stupid and offensive (her account is not locked down).  Like, that and Candy Crush are my only reasons to go on Facebook. 

My husband gets reeeeeeally pissed at me when like once a day I do the "did you see the stupid shit your aunt posted on Facebook?" thing to him (answer is always no anyway -- he never checks Facebook and for some reason she never friended him).  Needless to say, he doesn't appreciate that I am essentially cyberstalking his relative essentially just so I can hate her more and complain about her to others.

I have 5 or 6 people that I clicked "Hide" on but have not unfriended. I disagree with several of my FB friends and I think that is okay. We can agree to disagree, inform one another, ignore posts, or any number of other actions and still be friends. Not a problem when we rarely, if ever, see each other in real life so it is easy to let things go. I have very few triggers that will force me to hide someone that I don't have contact with outside of FB and this has only happened twice.

The other people that I have hidden are family members of DH or myself that I have occasional interaction with at family events. Some of them are completely crazy and it is easier for me to interact with them when I have hidden their crazy on my news feed. If I saw all of their posts, got frustrated, and then had to sit by them at Grandma's 80th birthday party, I would have trouble behaving myself. It is really for the greater good that I don't see their posts every day. It also seems that the craziest family members are the ones that post all day long. It gets hard to be polite when you get inundated.

I love hate following people in FB (usually gym people who excessively hashtag)

But then I feel bad.

Example: I am side eyeing the hell out of a cw who posted this as an inspirational quote over an obnoxious selfie.

This is in poor taste, yes?

I really need a haircut and the two salons I use are either booked up or closed today. I've put it off because I want to use my spending money on vacation next week, but my hair looks crappy and I could really use a cut. 

There's a new Great Clips that just opened by my office. They're advertising a $4.99 special.

I'm tempted, but for $4.99 I can't imagine it will end well.




ETA, if anyone cares ... I found a place by my office that has a slot open after work. It does not charge $4.99.

I have to do low sodium diet (medical reason) and it blows. I am only 5 days in and I am still feeling sorry for myself.

Flameworthy confession : I'll be seeing a taken (not married) gent when I travel in September. I have no guilt about this.


Confession : since my weight gain my selfie game has severely suffered. this makes me much sadder than I should be.

I've been doing it for almost 20 years and I haven't killed anyone (or myself) yet.

However, I would like to offer a big *high five* to Oregon for having gas that is $.50 cheaper per gallon than we have here at home.

It's considered a safety issue primarily; growing up there were always rumors the kids passed around that it was because some guy took the hose and sprayed inside his car all over his family and then set them on fire.  I don't think this is actually true though, or it would probably be the first hit you'd see on Google when searching about why you can't pump your own gas in Oregon.

I think it also lowers gas station insurance costs, because you've only got the handful of people who work there handling the pumps, rather than dozens of Joe Schmos.

It's also a good deal if you are disabled, because you don't have to worry about if an employee can leave the store or not to come pump your gas.

In any case, not pumping your own gas is something Oregonians **love**.  They've tried on several occasions to vote in a new law to allow for self service and it always gets voted down.  My dad hates it when they come to Washington and he has to pump it, and my mom is completely clueless about pumping gas, and has never pumped her own, ever. 

The first time I traveled to WA on my own I had to ask the guy pumping gas next to me for help because I didn't know what to do, and I was super embarrassed.  But now I wish I'd know as a teenager how easy it is, because that would have been a great summer job.

[cajunmom]

My former neighbor/friend and his wife are divorcing b/c she caught him cheating. I know he was a total asshole to do what he did, and a coward to boot, and the rest of our friends group have basically shunned him and remained friends with the wife. I really miss him, though. He was a much better friend than she was, although in retrospect I guess his personality is what led him to cheat. Anyway, I really want to text him to see how he's doing but I know I probably shouldn't.

IDK what the point of me posting this is.

[Deleted]

cajunmom text him. He could probably use a friend right now.

Cheating sucks but it happens and it doesn't make some a horrible person. Bad judgment & selfish sure, but even those people need friends.

As recently as this year I've had assistance every time I've pumped gas because I'm obviously such a novice, take forever, and usually mess something up. And I'm 36

I'd use "grew up in NJ" as an excuse but I lived there for only one year as a driver. I just haven't really driven all that much in my life.

Not having to pump your gas is awesome. And hey, the place I buy it in NJ was $2.42 today and the place closest to my apartment and it is $3.14, so...

I totally agree. He is such a beautiful man. But now that I posted the links, I feel a little weird. Is this a double-standard? I remember being upset about the journalists who posted Anne Hathaway's pictures of her getting out of the car. Should I feel bad? 

Sorry to derail the flameworthies, v! Or maybe this is flameworthy! 

It is a double standard, I agree. I do wonder if it bothers him that this happened and it is being so publicized?  I paused a moment feeling that I suck for violating his privacy.  Thus, I confess my sin here on the alter of MM flame-worthies, which are so very rarely actually fw.
