20 to go!! I need some saucy, supportive, soul-sisters!!

I'd like to start an intimate group with people who have a GREAT sense of humor, can be honest without being snide, don't mind divulging their ups and downs, and have some inspiring words of wisdom and support to share.  I am looking for a few online accountablility pals to help me get over this last 20 pound hump!!  I have lost 38 pounds.  I know I am going to make it, it's just nice having some "slimming sisters" who have "been there" and are "going through that" to share the journey with.  What do you say...are you up for the challenge??? 

Well ladies, I happy to report that I am VERY single. If you know any nice guys in DC be sure to send them my way. Yes Tonnie, I am VERY selective. My friends call it being "picky" but I like your choice of words much better. But if I'm honest with myself (and I know I can be honest with you ladies) I really dont have much time (or interest) in dating right now. My parents (i.e. my stepmom) really thinks I'm wasting precious years but the way I see it is that I am working on me right now (well God is helping with that too) and once Im done working on me, I feel that I will have so much more to offer someone else. So no, Im not looking, but if Mr. Right fell out of the sky tomorrow, I CERTAINLY wouldnt walk the other way.....

Take care you lovely ladies.

You are wise beyond your years m'dear.  I chose the word "selective" because it sounded a bit less snobby.  Don't let stepmom dictate to you!  You are your own woman; intelligent and beautiful.   You have earned the right to be yourself.  If Mr. Right does fall out of the sky, ask if he has an older brother, or an uncle to send my way!  I'm afraid I wouldn't know what a Mr. Right is if it was tatooed on his forehead!  Please remember that one of the reasons for going for my visit (leaving here shortly), is to meet this Murrah guy that Mom and Dad think is "Mr. Right" for me...............(shaking head in total disbelief)  PC

There is nothing wrong with being selective!  Thats how you find the keepers.  I also found that as soon as you stop looking, you find Mr. Right weather you want to or not.

PC - good luck with your blind date.  I hope he is a big hunk-a-spunk! 

Sorry I have been slack but I got so much uni stuff to do.  Only 3 weeks left and I got assignments coming out of my ar*e

take care ladies....

Moochster, I know the ar*e thing.  I'm back from my visitation to pre-hell.  I swear, I do not know why my parents don't think I can handle my life by myself........Murrah, well, when Dad called him to come over for dinner so we could meet, Murrah said that he had hooked back up with an old "friend".    Their next best effort is their neighbor, Jeff.  Crap, I had to have dinner with Jeff 3 out of 6 nights.  Jeff is a very nice man........Jeff is disabled.  Jeff is about 6" shorter than I am.  My dad kept suggesting that he would be better than no man.  DAD!  EEW, ICK!!  I went over and looked at what Jeff had to offer me and BU as far as living area was concerned.  I am sorry ladies, I could not get past the turquoise walls and the carpeting that was decorated with dog ****.  (Dare I mention that Jeff doesn't wear his dentures??) My Dad kept saying that Jeff would be a better roommate than Norm. (Dad, are you senile???)

Now, I have never said that Norm has approached me physically in a sexual manner, have I?  This Jeff person has told my Dad that he is looking for a woman!!  WTF is Dad thinking??

I got home this afternoon and the living room is torn up.  Norm has moved a "cot" in there.  I told him months before I left for LaGrand that I will not clean his "bedroom".  He has slept in the living room way over a year now.  I know that I am not wrong about this issue.

Moochie; can BU and me move to Australia and live with you and Larry?  While I was in LaGrande I applied for housing.  It is a "cute" (you ladies know how much I resent that word) apartment.  BU is welcome.  I guess it will be about Friday before I will know what the "F" is going on with me and BU. 

Yikes, new classes start tomorrow............I just about forgot.    PC & BU

Hidy Ho ladies. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you PC. But you know what they say..... if it is meant to be it will be!   With that said.... I have come to realise it is just meant to be that I am FAT for the rest of my life.  Seriously!  I cought sight of my reflection yesterday and just about gagged.  yeesh.... I suck!  boo hoo bad me yarda yarda.... ok now that that is over - -- -- - -- -

Why does Norm sleep in the lounge?  Is his room that messy he can't sleep in there anymore?  I hope you get the apartment.  If not come on over baby..... although DH is allergic to cats (sorry BU).  We may be able to hide her out here 

Ok  - back to physics....

No, no Moochie!  You are not fat for the rest of your life!  That will make me fat for the rest of MY life, and when I have a heart attack it will be all your fault.  Norm is to lazy to move the TV into his bedroom.  I have offered to help him.  I don't know the air quality in there since most of his dirty clothes are now in piles in the living room (lounge).  It would be easier to get rid of DH than BU, but I suppose you would disagree with me on that one.  

My new classes are very simple compared to last term.  I had a hard time writing about e-coli and salmonella that someone else didn't already write about.  So I made a story about it instead.  How many times can one post about one topic with out getting tired of reading about the "facts"?  I've never been graded down for writing like this.  Actually I have been told that my imagination is appreciated. 

Check out "my friends" on Facebook and look at Norm from 1976.  He was sort of cute then.  God, what happened?  I think that this is his girl trolling picture when he is on some of his on-line smut sites.  I had to accept him as a friend on Facebook, simply because he would know if I didn't.  Now I can't write stuff about the roommate without him seeing it there.  At least he doesn't com here. I asked him the other night why he hadn't hooked up his "new computer".  He said he was lazy.  I really had to hold my tongue on that one.  Again, I offered to help move things around.  He was already 3-sheets to the wind when I offered that one.

All of my homework is done for this week.  I can't even look ahead to see what is coming up for next week.  Perhaps I'll clean my room tomorrow!  I finally got my suitcase (or is it valise?) unpacked from my trip.  I just re-read my last post and it seems that I was on a royal rant that night.  I still haven't heard anything about an apartment.  No news is good news, right ???   I don't know.  I should go check the mail (post) to see if I got a rejection there. 

Alas, no funny Norm stories so far since I've been home. He did let my sunflowers wither.  I'm trying to resuscitate them, but I believe they're hopeless.  He swore that he watered, but how come they look dead, when the ones in the neighbors yards seem fine.  LIAR!

Peace ladies.  Minx, where the hell are you? PC

I'm here Ladies. I have days where I feel like Im going to be fat forever, I have to agree with Moochie on this one (sorry Tonnie). As much and hard as I work out and try to watch what I eat NOTHING seems to make the "fat" go away. Im even getting smaller (i.e. wearing smaller sizes) but there is still a lot of "fat." Maybe its because I was so big...who knows...go figure!

If I'm following my own posts, does that mean that I am chasing my own tail?  ***Norm Alert***.  I needed to get the current utility bill, and I knew it was here because I was the one that checked the mail (post) on Saturday.  I put Norms mail in a stack.  There were other things for him as well.  #1-a letter from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).  His license has been suspended AGAIN because he failed to appear in court after his traffic ticket for speeding in July.  Now there are two warrants for his arrest in the state of Washington.  (Dad bailed him out of jail, so is Dad now out the $2000 bail money?)  #2 was a notice from the company that he pays to have the breathalizer device on the pickup.  They will not allow him/or anyone to drive the vehicle until his court issues are resolved.  WTF Norm?  It also showed a past due amount on his account.  (Norm is stepping into some deep do-do right about now).  #3 was the utility bill.  It too is "past due", and is threatening to be shut off if payment is not received by June 30. 

I don't consider this snooping; rather self-preservation while living with Norm.  If there is a bomb coming I'd rather know about it in advance.  Two days ago BU had take-out food.  She was sitting at my feet and I noticed that she was acting "funny".  When I looked, OMG, she had a sparrow in her mouth!  RIP birdie, you have no neck now.  (keep in mind this all happened so fast!)  I picked up the neckless bird (close your eyes Moochie), took it out to the dumpster, came back inside the house-BU is looking around for her "dinner".  She looked at me like "what have you done MOTHER!"  I finally sat back and laughed at the situation. This whole process probably only lasted about 30 seconds.  My BU, the great "hairy" hunter.  That night, while she was laying in the crook of my arms, she yawned!  This was the worst breath I have ever smelled in my life.  Holy Moley BU!  Go away!!!  While DH and BF's have given off toxic fumes, none can compare to the bird-breath from a cat!!   Larry would appreciate this.

Well, I'm off to spread more joy!  Last day of class for this week; I need to make sure I have tortured each and every of the other students in an equal manor.  Just spreading my love to the rest of humanity! PC------>BU from afar as she still has birdie breath.

Well Ladies; is this R.I.P. for this thread?  It was fun while it lasted (like a man), but we are all moving on to bigger and better things (get your head out of the gutter Moochie)?  We can't seem to keep anyone here; this is pathetic.  BU is sad along with me .  Larry, darlin'-tell your Mum to keep in contact with us.  I'll keep checking in for what it's worth.   Damn you Queenie for deserting us!  PC
