Do you guys hear those crickets?

Sorry, I went to catch up :o

Seems you lot really ran with the band idea :D

Any idea what kind of music were going to play, because I refuse to play christian rock under the threat of seppuku

Persoally I vote for either rock/metal/death metal


Accordion death metal... hmmmmm yeah :cool:

My hayfever finally clears, enabling me to see that everybody has buggered off :(

I was playing solitaire. How are you Bear or are you gone already?

I did disappear for a bit, just downloading some games to my 360


Pondering what film to watch tonight :)

Have you seen "The Unthinkable"?

A little different and a sucky ending but I seen it last night and it was the first one to pop into my head.

Ok, since I have been gone things might have changed but does the greenies mean nothing anymore? Do people just give them to the people the like?

I answered a question and 3 people followed me saying the same damn thing. They get some greenies and I didn't so I was just wondering if they still had value.

nope haven't seen it, is it in the cinemas or can I rent it?

don't worry about the greenies, to me they lost all value ages ago, now they just seem like a way to add a quick note to the post they like, rather than post a sepparate post.

You can rent the movie. It has Samuel Jackson and Carrie Anne Moss in it. I need a movie to watch tonight. Any recommendations? Are the Lord of the rings movies any good? I just don't think so but I need to know if they are worth it. Haha

I was just venting with that I guess.

Ahhh problem there, there isn't a video renting place near me :(


On the other hand I thought the lord of the rings films brilliant, out of the three the second one was my favourite.

If you haven't watched them I would well recommend you do, in order one straight after the other :D

Ok, I have been watching a lot of trilogies and I like doing that. I just finished up the Underworld Trilogy. So I might start on that one. Thanks Bear and sorry you can't rent one.

no worries, I've a lot of films stored on my hard drive, so I guess ill randomly pick one, probably the fantastic mr fox as I haven't seen that yet :)

ahhh problem there, there isnt a video renting place near me :(

The Lord of the Rings is worth watching for the cinematography alone. The acting's pretty good, the effects are top notch, and they stick fairly close to the books. The Enzed mountains and the photography deserve their Oscars. Definitely watch.

i'd swoon. M is a handsome man.

That should bring him round. :)

31641

Oh I see how it is, I say I'd swoon and nothing. I quit.

I need to be wooed. M, you can woo me!! I'll even swoon.

Can I get a belly rub first :D








31642

Sorry your cuteness won't win this time. I'm already back under my rock.

**sob** sniffle**

Accordian death metal..........hmmmmm yeah :cool:

I can dig this! But I think with the tuba rock might be our best bet.

Oh Gawd guys I am so BORED. I need some substance in my life. I wish that guy who was prank calling me would call back. At least it would be someone to talk to.

SAAAAWEEEET He looks intelligent. I bet he has lots of interesting things to talk about!

Okay well.... :(

Last Monday I had made a special time with this really nice lady to teach me how to sew. I was really excited. But with work and being busy 24/7 I just didn't have the time to get the supplies, and I woke up at 9AM that day (class is from 10-1) and it'd just be me and her and I told her the worst thing ever... I told her that my brother had died:eek:

it just came out.. like it came out.. oh god it came out like nothing. Like a sneeze.

Then this morning after another crazy weekend I had everything ready but Rachel was not co-operating with me so early in the morning. I was on my way out with her and then it happened. She fell. busted her knees and scraped them on the cement. There was no way it was going to be a pleasant day today. So I called her and told her... that maybe next weekend would be better after everything has calmed down.

:(

I feel like such a douche bag

My sister killed off all KINDS of relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins) when she was pregnant the first time. She would decide that she didn't want to go to school because of morning sickness or sore feet or any number of other reasons and kill off an imaginary relative to get out of it. I'm SURE the office knew exactly what was going on.

Muddy, welcome to be human, we tend to fark up once in a while.

If anyone on this forum has never told a lie, a whopper, then they can yell at you all they want, if they want. I will just sit in the corner remembering the time I told someone that I had to go to the hospital in order to get out of going on a date with him.

I may have told him that it was fatal.

Sigh.

Shyt happens. Sometimes you open your mouth and words just flow out before you can think it through. Welcome to my world. ;)

I once told a teacher that an accident that happened on the way from school for break happened on the way back to school. I told her that I wasn't back in the dorms yet because the car needed fixed. She had the dean of students call my mother to ask when I got back to the dorms.

I got in pretty good trouble for that one.

So I go away for a bit and that's when all you people come out to play?

Pffft! :(

You can rent the movie. It has Samuel Jackson and Carrie Anne Moss in it. I need a movie to watch tonight. Any reccomendations? Are the Lord of the rings movies any good? I just don't think so but I need to know if they are worth it. haha

I was just venting with that I guess.

I suggest the movie 'stay' for everyone to watch. If came out a few years ago, and didn't seem to be a big hit. I LOVED it though. Really makes you think, and the ending is not expected.

The plot summary on imdb doesn't come anywhere NEAR doing it real justice.

Stay (2005/I) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371257/)

If I created an imaginary family for the purpose of killing them off to get out of things I don't think I could do it, id get attached to them all because they were all nice to me and we'd have fun :)

And possibly further down the line id think of them as more family than my actual family.

And then id have... issues :(

What's happenin' folks?? Top of the morning to you! Or evening, whatever.

Aft-noon kc, how's it going

Doing well sir. Just got to work and now I am avoiding doing actual work. Typical Tuesday for me. How are things on your side of the world?

3.20 pm, got up about an hour ago its as bright as anything out there with a temperature to match, so apart from the hayfever today is shaping up to be an OK day :)

Hey there kc and bear.

Ok I am reading up on this thread and now every time I see heath post something all I think is "nipples" How is that right?

Hey Bear, KC and Sunny! :)

Think of them as the metal thingys that hheath work with ;)

Hey unky

Back in a few. Dinner time.

Afternoon y'all

I will have to watch the movie "Stay" after I get done with the Lord of the Rings. I started them last night and I only got about an hour in to the first one.

I'm back! :)

Lol Adam, you've got quite a lot to go. It was an awesome movie for me, except that I unknowingly watched the second part before the first one :o

Hi unky, bye unky

Hi sunny

Hi adam

How's things

Things are good, my dang boss is trying to make things complicated for me.

How so?

He's not asking for salad with his burger is he :D

That's the funniest thing I have heard yet today Bear. Lol.

Actually though we have 3 semis that haul a certain stuff for us and that isn't bad to keep track of which is part of my job. Now he wants to bring in about 4 or 5 more semis from another place to help out for a day or two because it got out of control. Which just makes it harder to track what is what.

Sad times :(

Yes... I think it is nap time until lunch, which is pizza I reckon. See you in a bit.

See you Adam :)

In a bit adam
I might head out in a bit as well, need to enquire at that gym

So unky, finished your exams yet?

Not yet. The mock exams start this Thursday 1st of July.

Then, the big exams will be in October. :)

Oh right, still a way to go then :o

And what about you? Any future plans yet?

Oh man is it is so farking hot out today. I don't want to mow my lawn :( :( Any takers?

I'd like to... it's be my first time. I don't have lawn at home :o

Nope unfortunately :(

I could really do with knowing where I stand :(

Hi bella

No projects? Anything? Aww...

Job Hunting? :o

Our lawn is beyond mowing... I have lost the dogs in the yard before.

Nope not really, just waiting on things, then ill know :(

Hey Shaz, I was out in my shed, and I looked behind me and I couldn't see the house, the grass and weeds are literally up to mu shoulder. My front lawn is okay, but the back yard, is disgusting. I need to get a lawn tractor. I was trying to use the whipper snipper on it earlier lol.

Hey bear, Unky.

I hope all will go well with you Bear. I know that it has not been very good from your side, I just wish that the situation turns for the better. :)

Oh Bear, what's the matter??

I hate mowing, it's too hot!

!&@^*(":"?:*!^@&*^&*@!

Hi bella

Thanks unky :)

I agree, it is +30c today. Hotttt. Too hot to even sit on the deck, need to hit up that beach.

I want a beach, wait, I live on a lake.

Nothings the matter bella, just very unsure of my direction, where I'm heading, what's the next step in life.

Its hard to plan for things unknown :D

If the lake isn't polluted and there aren't any creepy animals in there, you can have a little swim, right? Or... maybe not. :(

Right Bear and that reminds me of one of the Pokemon themes...

'Sometimes, it's hard to know, which way you want to go-o-o. But deep inside, you know you're right, if you follow your heart you can't be wrong!'

Unky, it is a clean lake, I bought a house there over a year ago and I pay a $200 a year fee to keep it clean and so I can use it whenever I want. :)

You know what Bear, that's normal. It's showing that you have concern for your future, which is really something that you should be thinking. You just finished school right? Are you feeling a bit over whelmed with the next step that needs to be taken? Like the "real" world?

I feel that way, but I am in a different situation. I am almost 30 and just going back to school. And I am terrified. Part of me wants to say fark it, and get a job as a receptionist again. It's stable and I know I am getting a pay cheque. I feel like I am putting mine and my daughter's future in jeopardy.

You are a smart man, you'll be okay. But you just got to take it one day at a time. Plan as much as you can for the future, but remember you can only plan so much of life.

Unky, it is a clean lake, I bought a house there over a year ago and I pay a $200 a year fee to keep it clean and so I can use it whenever I want. :)

I just have a small little body of water, called the Atlantic Ocean
Hahah

I also have a few fresh water lakes and rivers around my house, all with in walking distance. Someone once told me that NS has the safest waters in all of North America. I KNOW they weren't talking about the Halifax harbor!

Right Bear and that reminds me of one of the Pokemon themes...

'Sometimes, it's hard to know, which way you want to go-o-o. But deep inside, you know you're right, if you follow your heart you can't be wrong!'

I disagree, there's always room to be wrong :)

i disagree, theres always room to be wrong :)


As long as you learn from it, than it's not really wrong.

Well you are Lucky Bella. I just have one Lake.

Bear, you can move in with me and we can have a great time, you can get a job with me and we can go fishin, swimmin, and drinking, and what ever else.

Hey all you need is one! I was just bragging a bit.

Bear, you can move in with me and we can have a great time, you can get a job with me and we can go fishin, swimmin, and drinkin, and what ever else.

\
OoOOoo Can I come too?? Phulease? I am a really good cook!

Ok, you can both come, if you pretend to be a couple or my girlfriend might think something of it. Could you handle only one body of water Bella? There are a lot of lakes and rivers close around but just one in my back yard.

I haven't been in a position before where I didn't know roughly what was going to happen, or at least have a 'get out of jail' card to play if things went wrong.

I'm still in school bella, finished my 2nd year at uni, and am looking for a placement in industry for next year (compulsary), thing is its not looking good at all, and if I don't find one I think ill be able to take a year out, but everyone I've talked to says that's a bad idea as you'll just end up doing nothing for a year and be in even worse shape for your third year, and I'm not in a decent shape as it is to take on my third year, so going straight to that is a deffinet no.

So all I can do is keep applying to places and hope for the best, which is what I have been doing.

But other than that, I've got no idea, and it isn't enough :(


Cya'll later going to head out for a little while, destress and get some fresh air, take care :)

Ok, you can both come, if you pretend to be a couple or my girlfriend might think something of it. Could you handle only one body of water Bella? There are alot of lakes and rivers close around but just one in my back yard.

Sounds like a plan, I'm sure bella could 'pretend' to be my cougar :D


Laters

As long as you learn from it, than it's not really wrong.

Yup, experience :)

Are you still waiting for the results of your computer programming course? I don't quite remember what happened :o

EDIT: Okay... just crossing my fingers for you Bear :)

Bear you'll be okay buddy. Take care.

Adam I think I can deal, where do you live?

I live in Indiana, southern part of it in Bedford, a town hardly mentioned.

sounds like a plan, im sure bella could 'pretend' to be my cougar :D

BEAR!! I am going to kick your butt!! You just called me a cougar! I am ONLY 26!! A MILF you, but a COUGAR?? Oh my GAWDDDDDD. First I get called an older lady by some 18 year old girl, now a COUGAR?? Okay I need to go eat a pound cake and cry myself to sleep. WAAAAAAAAA! :mad::(:mad::(

Why do they call it a pound cake when it isn't a pound?

Maybe because it weighs a pound?

No, that's what I was saying, is that it isn't a pound. Maybe it is supposed to be though. I was at a dollar tree and they had one and it was like 12 ounces or something and I have since been confused. Haha.

No, thats what I was saying, is that it isn't a pound. Maybe it is supposed to be though. I was at a dollar tree and they had one and it was like 12 ounces or something and I have since been confused. haha.

Its because if you eat it that's about how much your going to gain.

Its because if you eat it thats about how much your going to gain.

So true, I stay away from those foods now. Trying to lose a few pounds not gain them.

We really are a bunch of chatty little yappers. ;)

Seems like we've gone through another one. Or we're about to. So since I'm here, awake, reasonably alert, I figured I'd start another.

It's number 4. You heard right. Four!!!!!

So chat away. Talk about anything and everything. Well, not "anything" and certainly not "everything" but most stuff and a lot of things, that should be okay.

Ya, I'm tired. Can you tell?

Anyway, here's another 1500 posts to fill.

Have at her. :)



WHOA!!

Reading the threads is really fun. PS - I am not yet done reading all... lol

Yea, £6.? For 'one offs' which is kind of what ill be using it for, so now ill have to scrounge around for the funds :)

Well, I hope it goes good for you Bear, I am starting to obsess again with the weights and running. I think I will be going now so I can lock up and hit the gym. Bye everyone!

Later adam, have a good one

See you later Adam!

3 more days of school and then 2 month vacation. Dog help me.

Sydney is already driving me crazy. She's bored, she has nothing to do, she's lonely, she's whiny.

Today, 5 minutes after they got home, she came to me all whiny "Mommy I have nothing to do", so I got a broom, a bucket and a mop, told her to sweep and wash the front foyer and when she's done, there's plenty more to do.

Funny how she found some toys (her room is full of them) to play with after that. ;)

Kids! God love them, but some days... grrrrrrr!

Let's hope she doesn't find your toys :D

At least you didn't get called a Cougar. I've really had a rough past few days. I was at a friends birthday party on Saturday and I being 26 was the youngest one there. Age range was from early 30's- early 40's. This woman shows up with 18 year old drunken friend who as the night proceeded decided she would call me an "older lady".

I still get I.D'd for matches for crying out loud! I do NOT look like an older lady!! Then Bear called me a cougar. :( :(

Let's hope she doesn't find your toys :D

:eek:

Crap M, for a minute there I actually had to think about whether I had put them away in their secret place last time I used them (2 days ago). ;)

My heart skipped a beat for a minute, more so because Syd told me she needed some batteries. :eek:

Being a Cougar is a good thing. You're not old enough, I agree, but to an 18 year old, well, sadly 26 is old to a teen, which makes me ancient, one foot in the grave, on my last leg, on my death bed, darn kids! I'm telling you, they don't appreciate their youth like they should!

Sneezy calls me his cougar, and with a 15 year age difference, I guess I am older. ;)

I take it as a compliment. At least you're not an old hag. ;)

Sigh. That's all I have to say is "sigh".

Sigh. that's all I have to say is "sigh".

I'm 13 years older then you kiddo, so shhhh!

You're making me feel ancient.

Young in body, old in soul. It's really funny, (well I think it is) I was out camping on Friday and there were some girls that I had just met in their mid 30's, we were all sitting around the camp fire having a drink, playing the guitar singing songs. They were shocked to learn I was only 26. One of them turns to me and says "you have an old soul you know that"? Then she proceeded to call me cute as a button, so I am not sure how that all works together.

I have a young soul, which is a nice way of saying that I'm immature and not at all responsible. ;)

You have to meet Sneezy. He's a 24 year old, with the soul of a 45 year old.

I appologised for that :(

In my defence you do seem a lot more mature than your age suggests :)

Haha I know bear, I'm an old lady trapped in this young sexy body. I was just being funny.

Now I know I haven't made amends yet :(

How can I make it better?

You'll let me know ifyou think of something right?

I will... hehe heheh hehehe wt... hehehehehehehehehe.

i will... hehe heheh hehehe wt.... hehehehehehehehehe.

Ah the evil plans, and not knowing what they are, ignorance is bliss :D

You're better off not knowing lol! ;)

Where did everyone go? Hello?

Sorry bella, tiredness got me and I got distracted by something shiny :(

Sorry about that bella :(

I'm going to head off now, 4.20am and I should probably get some sleep, night all :)

I'd say! Good night Bear.

I missed Bear? Oh poo!

Phone rang. Sneezy says hi. :)

Maybe a little too late... Hi Sneezy! :)

Hey there kc and bear.

Ok I am reading up on this thread and now every time I see heath post something all I think is "nipples" How is that right?

Made my day, for some reason.

OK, I'm just in a good mood because I got to use a table saw at work. Have I mentioned that I have a thing for power tools?

Hey hheath, how's the new job coming along?

Why do they call it a pound cake when it isn't a pound?

I think it's because the recipe calls for either a pound of sugar or a pound of butter. I can't remember which.

made my day, for some reason.

ok, I'm just in a good mood because i got to use a table saw at work. have i mentioned that i have a thing for power tools?

You and I may just have been separated at birth.

At the place I worked that had a machine shop. I could operate anything there we were talking one day and asked the following:

"What is the most dangerous piece of equipment in the machine shop"?

It was unanimus The table saw

And just for heath, see the following website:

Safer 10-inch Table Saws ? How it works ? SawStop (http://www.sawstop.com/howitworks/how_overview.php)

And watch all the videos in the lower right hand corner, especially the hot dog video. Note, you can watch in full screen mode.

I can use a drill! But me and electric weapons don't get a long. Hence my Whipper Snipper accident.

Bella

You should stick to battery operated weapons like Alty does ;)

HAhahahaha! Oh boy, yea, I think you're right. ;)

M's here!! :)

Hey Unky :)

M's here!!! :)

I'm swooning, and I haven't even been wooed yet.

I'm swooning, and I haven't even been wooed yet.

LOL... well you know I like my belly rubbed first :rolleyes:

Sigh, there's always a catch with you boys isn't there?

Hey, I nominate Alty the "Pet and Chat Expert".

Here, here!

Well... I've been here for a while now... and I'm rarely on when M is :o

So, I tend to get a little too excited when someone I don't often get online gets online :o

You and I may just have been separated at birth.

I can use just about every power tool I've come across. Drill, jig saw, table saw, circular saw, band saw, drill press, belt sander, and probably a few more I can't think of names for.

Someday, I want to have a workshop full of power tools.

Sigh, there's always a catch with you boys isn't there?

OK, table saw isn't the right name. It's bolted to the table, which is why I called it that.





Miter saw. THAT'S what I used today.

Ok, since you asked so kindly for it...

Hey, Bella's here too! :p

Hello hheath, kp, KISS, Alty!

Did I miss anyone out? :o

Hey Unky!

Miter saw: something like: 12" 15A Comp Miter Saw (http://www.home-improvement-superstore.com/black-decker-dewalt-dw715-12-15a-comp-miter-saw.html?utm_term=1215ACompMiterSaw&utm_content=ToolsandHardware&site=google_base&utm_source=GAN&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=bluecherry)

someday, i want to have a workshop full of power tools.

Come into my parlor/workshop. :)

I get power tools for Christmas and love it.

Id seen the "hotdog saw" video years ago.

I like innovation. It's a neat trick if it works... but it allows for bad form... which I don't like. 'course I don't like ER trips either..

Just about every action we do over and over eventually involves some level of "muscle memory"... where you might have had to think and focus on how to walk at first... now its way back... streaming like elevator music in the background.

I'm not saying we should be all tough love about chop saws and just have open, unguarded blades and let darwin weed out the clumbsy... but for some reason that hot dog saw bugs me.

Itd be one thing if all saws had it... it was common... a little fear is good sometimes... and using a more common saw, with all the commonly needed precautions, would train you to use better form more of the time, in theory.

Or not.

That said... think of all the hot dogs that would get wasted showing your buddies how cool your power tool was...

I'm writing about weiners and saws. Time to do something else.

its union rules.

Miter saw: something like: 12" 15A Comp Miter Saw (http://www.home-improvement-superstore.com/black-decker-dewalt-dw715-12-15a-comp-miter-saw.html?utm_term=1215ACompMiterSaw&utm_content=ToolsandHardware&site=google_base&utm_source=GAN&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=bluecherry)

Yep. One of those.

id seen the "hotdog saw" video years ago.

i like innovation. its a neat trick if it works... but it allows for bad form... which i dont like. 'course i dont like ER trips either..

just about every action we do over and over eventually involves some level of "muscle memory"... where you might have had to think and focus on how to walk at first... now its way back... streaming like elevator music in the background.

im not saying we should be all tough love about chop saws and just have open, unguarded blades and let darwin weed out the clumbsy... but for some reason that hot dog saw bugs me.

itd be one thing if all saws had it... it was common... a little fear is good sometimes... and using a more common saw, with all the commonly needed precautions, would train you to use better form more of the time, in theory.

or not.

that said... think of all the hot dogs that would get wasted showing your buddies how cool your power tool was...

im writing about weiners and saws. time to do something else.

I really like that idea. In fact, I have a couple test subjects in mind, already.

I saw that saw in person and it's made extremely well. Never used it, but it would seem to be a joy to use.

The shaft, I think is over 1" diameter because it has to absorb the impact of the blade.

It is destructive, about $80 for the gizmo and who knows what for the blade, so it is an expensive mistake.

On the flip side, however, wet wood can also cause the mechanism to trigger and so would cutting metal. There is a test and disable mechanism built into the saw too.

If I were selecting a saw, I would definitely have that one on the table.

You could check out my new thread KP....

Whichy?

I'm not fond of the table saw/hotdog saw. Mine is older then me, off center, the blade wobbles, you can't cut straight even if you're the most skilled person on earth.

I prefer the mitre saw, but you don't always have a piece of wood that fits, sometimes you have to suck it up and use the finger chopper/table saw.

Hubby always panics when I use it. I don't know why. I've never hurt myself using any of the power tools. He's come close to losing a finger, stitches in his hand, chunks of stuff embedded in his head, and I'm a concern?

Well I think I am going to try and get some sleep. Yup after 3:30 here. Good night my friends.

Good night Bella :)

You're going to bed? I thought sleep was for the weak. Come on, you can do it, push through, find that second wind.

Wake up! Wake up!

Oh fine. Go to bed! See if I care.

:: pout, pout, pout::

New kitty pictures are FINALLY up.

i can use just about every power tool I've come across. drill, jig saw, table saw, circular saw, band saw, drill press, belt sander, and probably a few more i can't think of names for.

someday, i want to have a workshop full of power tools.

Can I marry you?

I like tools but I don't like power tools, way too scary. Hubby can use a drill and jig saw but isn't what you would call an enthusiast.

Hey

Can I marry you?

Hi to everyone in the world (that way I don't miss anyone :) ).

Anything wrong that you want to discuss, Sunny?

Hey J, Sunny, and Cat

Hi to everyone in the world (that way I don't miss anyone :) ).

Anything wrong that you want to discuss, Sunny?

Oh god cat is this crazy guy in town, who I didn't realize was crazy until yesterday. Long story short I graduated with this kid and we were always friends. Nothing more. Nice kid. I get on Facebook and he gets on Facebook. Haven't talked to him since June of 1991. We friend each other. He says he has spent a long time thinking of what happened to me. Not a big deal I have thought that of many people. Well his mom lives 9 miles from me, he decides to come for a visit. Cool. Its great seeing old friends. Well he comes in my store yesterday and he is crazy. He grabs me and hugs me and I am the what the f%!@k! He hangs out and is talking about these feelings and "what if we fall in love" oh my god! I have never once led him to think anything. He is freaking crazy! I sit here and think was there something I missed?? I never hardly even spoke with him on Facebook.

You want to marry Heath? She's a girl! :eek:

I was too afraid to ask QP. Thanks! :o

Could any of it have been an act? He could he have thought he was pulling a prank? Questionable taste in humor is much better to contemplate than 'crazy stalker dude'.

However, I think I would make certain that people (husband, family, friends, maybe his mother and police) know that you have no real relationship with him other than old acquaintances.

You didn't know Heath was a girl? :eek:

No! I meant, I was too afraid to ask QP is she knew hheath was a girl. :o

I want food, fat food!

I want food, fat food!

Fat food should be easier to catch than skinny food, since it can't run as fast

I want food, fat food!

May I recommend the pound cake with butter ;)

I would try that pound cake if it were in front of me right now so thank god it isn't. Trying to eat healthy sucks. In the past 6 days I have lost 5 lbs. It is making me not want to work out as much for little results.

In the past 6 days I have lost 5 lbs.

Please tell me your secret!!

Please tell me your secret!!!

I don't know what you look like but I am sure you are quite thin so you probably don't need to know. I just cut out all beverages and drink water and I run 1-2 miles a day and hit the weights. That's all I do.

You are too sweet. I was thin until I turned 40. Now weigh a whopping 140.

Run? No not me... not here in the 107 degree temps unless I'm being chased!

Wait... I'm 60 kg, that means about... 120 lbs. Your weight is just a little higher than mine :eek:

Am I that... fat? :(

Wait... I'm 60 kg, that means about... 120 lbs. Your weight is just a little higher than mine :eek:

Unky, duck.:eek:

60 kg = 132 pounds.

How tall are you? I'm only 5'2" or 62cm.

Unky, duck.:eek:

<threw a brick and missed! :p

I don't know what you look like but I am sure you are quite thin so you probably don't need to know. I just cut out all beverages and drink water and I run 1-2 miles a day and hit the weights. Thats all I do.

I need to know :D

Hmmm damn I don't like the water round here, still I could cut out all the fizzy beverages

And when I go to the gym I could (eventually) run that and do some weights

I'll be back. Off to dinner.

I'll be back. Off to dinner.

I hope you choke!! Just kidding really. You don't need dinner if you are almost as FAT as me! :p

Later unky, have a good one :)

Poor Unky. Open mouth, insert foot. ;)

Hi all.

Wow, Unky is still alive? Ouch. I know he doesn't know what he said but that was risky. J, that is small, you are petite is the word I believe I am looking for.

So to make everybody feel better. I am 6'3" and weigh 252 lbs.

Poor Unky. Open mouth, insert foot. ;)

Hi all.

Now there is a weight-loss plan that should be effective. ;):)

Hi, Alty. :)

J, that is small, you are petite is the word I believe I am looking for.


I wish I were still small/petite. I'm sick of patients' families asking me when my baby is due! :eek:

Phentermine is at the pharmacy waiting to be picked up. My exercise is walking 3-5 miles a day while I am at work.

Ok, back. I was joking earlier. I'm not fat... in fact, my BMI is below 20... :eek:

\frac{58}{1.68^2} = 20.55

Oh, looks like I took some weight lastly... oh right, I was 55 kg then :p

Now there is a weight-loss plan that should be effective. ;):)

Hi, Alty. :)

It's not the most flavorful, but it works. ;)

Hi Cat.

I am not telling anyone how much I weigh. If you want to know, you'll have to weigh me. :)

I am bigger then a bread basket. That's all I'm telling you.

Wow, Unky is still alive? Ouch. I know he doesn't know what he said but that was risky. J, that is small, you are petite is the word I believe I am looking for.

So to make everybody feel better. I am 6'3" and weigh 252 lbs.

To make you feel better I'm about 5'7, 5'8 (says tape measure) and about 105.5 kg i.e just under 17 stone :o

Yeah I'm not a healthy bunny :(

i need to know :D

hmmm damn i dont like the water round here, still i could cut out all the fizzy beverages

and when i go to the gym i could (eventually) run that and do some weights

You move faster than you think, I started running for 10 minutes at a slow speed and ended up getting a half mile in. Now that is pretty slow. Now I am so close to getting a whole mile in under 10 minutes. It will happen in time. If you run everyday you will get there bud.

I don't care about how much I weigh... I'm one of the smallest gals in my nursing unit. But I want to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of over 8 years ago... A slim and sexy 99 pounds soaking wet.

Well, I guess this is what happens when you turn over 40.

I just don't want to be 40 years old and the doctor telling me that if I don't start eating right and exercising that I will die.

to make you feel better im about 5'7, 5'8 (says tape measure) and about 105.5 kg i.e just under 17 stone :o

Yea, I am not sure how much that is and I don't feel like looking up the conversion. Haha

Ok, I looked it up.

Throwing a brick your way now!

I was told 13 years ago that I was going to die! Here I am alive and well, but just 40 pounds heavier. It's the metabolism that slows with age.

Yea, I am not sure how much that is and I don't feel like looking up the conversion. haha

Ok, I looked it up.

Lets just say a lot worse than you :D

At 5'11" tall, if I weighed 99 pounds, I'd break in half.

The slimmest I can go, without looking ill, is around 140 pounds. That's me in a size 4 - 6.

Rae wears the clothes that I wore when I was PREGNANT with her (she's retro). She only weighs 94.4 pounds at age 16. I had her when I was 28.

Bed time for me. I have to work tonight.

Sleep well J :)

Later J sweet dreams :)

PHew I was just saved.

He came in there, I am calling him a stalker. Clearly he wasn't leaving since he pulled up a chair and sat down. But thankfully I had advertising sales man come in so I got really wrapped up in that on purpose and he left. I filled the advertising guy in on it. So he knows. Which makes me feel good someone knows just in case. I was able to fill him in because we have been dealing with each other for a few years and spent a lot of time talking.

What? Again? :(

Good deal Sunny,

J, I wasn't trying to be offensive but now I have a black eye, that brick got me.

Bear, you aren't as bad as me.

Alty, you are perfect.

Unky, no more fat jokes.

I beg to differ there adam, and I'm not going to argue the point either :D

The conversion is equal to 231 lbs, and I'm like a foot shorter than you

i beg to differ there adam, and im not going to argue the point either :D

Trust me Bear, I am not going to argue over a weight thing and sound like a couple of girls. We are men and it is socially acceptable for men to be overweight. You ever notice that?

Agreed, I raise a toast to you adam as a fellow heavier male

agreed, i raise a toast to you adam as a fellow heavier male

I raise my glass

I raise my glass

Cheers!

Can I get in on this toast?

Sure Alty, raise your glass. I think we are cheering to big men, so you might want to just drink your drink unless you like it.

Cheers Alty! :D

Sure Alty, raise your glass. I think we are cheering to big men, so you might want to just drink your drink unless you like it.

I'm married to a big man. There's just more of him to love. :)

cheers Alty! :D

Prost! :)

Prost! :)

Prost zu dem schwereren Mann wie mich und Adam und R! :D

I like bigger men! I remember after I had my daughter, I gained a few extra pounds, my Gawd did I ever hear about it. Family, friends, strangers you name it, every one had a comment on my extra cushion. Still not back to my original weight, which was about 110-120 lbs, people still comment on how pretty I "was".

Heavier men are much more ascetically pleasing In my opinion, I like to see a man with meat on his bones.

My mom always said that heavier men just have amazing mothers and wives. ;)

R was skinny until he met my mother. We had him over for dinner every Sunday, and he started liking food for the first time ever. His mother couldn't cook if you put a gun to her head.

So you, apparently it's all my fault. ;)

Bear and Adam would hate living with me. I love cooking, and with a very European back ground, it's usually not on the 'light' end of things. I mean how much more carbs can you pack into one meal with Perogies?

You want to marry Heath? She's a girl! :eek:

So we're both girls and I'm married. But she has power tools. Therefore only technicalities.

Besides she's lovely.

But she is cute. I would marry her to. The husband would love it! Just saying.


We are on the same page here. Atta girl :)

Hello sun and all you other lovelies.

Hey Q, Sunny. I'd marry hheath too... just saying...

Anybody want to marry me :D

I just looked at a BMI thing and I am obese, there is no way I am obese. D they take muscle in to count here? Geeze!

Well, don't stop your way to lose some weigh then Adam ;)

BMI is just a rough value, don't rely too much on it. And muscles do weigh more than fats.

Yea, I know they weigh more. I just know I don't look obese.

Can I marry you?

I like tools but I don't like power tools, way too scary. Hubby can use a drill and jig saw but isn't what you would call an enthusiast.

Sure. I love playing with power tools and building things.

You are too sweet. I was thin until I turned 40. Now weigh a whopping 140.

Run? No not me...not here in the 107 degree temps unless I'm being chased!

140 isn't fat. That's about what I weigh.

Well, for me, you don't seem obese, and if you don't seem to find yourself obese either, that must mean that it's your muscles that are the cause of the extra weight. Don't worry much about it, unless you go into the tier of overweight :eek:

But I think that you're fine :)

At 5'11" tall, if I weighed 99 pounds, I'd break in half.

The slimmest I can go, without looking ill, is around 140 pounds. That's me in a size 4 - 6.

I weigh around 140 and wear about a size 8-9. the smallest I've been was a seize 7ish. It doesn't matter how much I weigh, my bone structure just doesn't allow for smaller sizes. I have hips.

Bear and Adam would hate living with me. I love cooking, and with a very European back ground, it's usually not on the 'light' end of things. I mean how much more carbs can you pack into one meal with Perogies?

Oooo I beg to differ, I love good cooking :)

Besides I thought it was american cooking that packed calories into everything?

So we're both girls and I'm married. But she has power tools. Therefore only technicalities.

Besides she's lovely.

Well, I don't HAVE power tools, but I know how to use them.

My name, for years now, in most corners of the Internet, is lovely. If I ever finish my book and get it published, it'll be published under that name.

Hey Q, Sunny. I'd marry hheath too... just sayin...

Oooooo... I get to have cute girls fighting over me? Just let me get a chair, some popcorn, and a drink.


OK, ready.


Let the fighting commence.

Thanks Unky

You're welcome Adam :)

Ok guys I'm off to bed. Cya tomorrow :)

Later unky :)
