Original Post by cajunrider: My 45 lb grand nephew caught a 35 lb alligator gar. I hate those fish. They remind me of my ex-boyfriend. He lived in Texas and he was the first person to ever tell me about them. Also... they have teeth! Not a fan of fish with teeth. o.O

Original Post by cptbunny: Original Post by havencounts: I think it looks tacky if the bra strap is bright red/hot pink/some other bright color that does not actually match the tank top. I like this look. I've never done it myself, but I like it. Really? What do you like about it? I did it when I was a teenager just not really thinking about it. Now I refuse. I am more conservative in my old age. :P

I write a blog and I wanted an alias. My husband chose Haven. Now it is sort of my online identity. I have an email address emailhavenhere. My etsy is havenonetsy. My cookinglight id is havencooks. It's easy to remember if I just use the same alias + a mention of the site. Since this site is calorie count... now havencounts(calories).
The Lounge	Is this an unreasonable wish?	Jul 10 2011 05:43 (UTC)	22
Nope. Never expect anything. Even if it was promised, their financial situation might have changed. I understand you are disappointed but I don't think anyone is going to say your parents are wrong.

Original Post by _adrienne_: Original Post by santonacci: Original Post by _adrienne_: I'm rather upset that I'm turning 22 in two weeks. 21 is the last 'significant' birthday. I can drink, and I'm officially an adult. You still can't rent a car, at least not without extra fees and insurance. So, you still have 25 to look forward to, I suppose. Meh. My teenage brother will probably learn to drive before I do... It's okay though. I've always been told I look younger than I am. I hated it when I was a teenager, but now I'm happy about it. :) Me too. I'm praying that since I am now 22 and people still think I am 14 that when I am 40 I will look not a day over 32. :) Also cheer up, there are all kinds of senior discounts you get to look forward to in the not to distant future.

Original Post by muttlover: :( I know you all are right. He's my first boyfriend and we've been together for almost 3 years, and... I hate to say it, but I've become comfortable and I feel afraid to leave the relationship. All the friends I actually hang out with he was friends with long before I was, so I feel like I'll have to start from scratch with my social life. :/ Then again, my social life has been more and more nonexistent since he moved in with me. I felt guilty for going out while he would always be at... home. :/ But I've felt like I've needed to do this for a while, and I've been itching to go out so badly (I have plans for tonight, so that'll take care of it :D). He's still like, my best friend, but as a couple I feel he's too dependent on me. And yes, sometimes I joke around, "Damnit, do X yourself, I'm not your effing mother!" but I guess I meant it more than I thought. .___. It's gonna be hard muttlover, especially if it's your first time ending something long term. You will feel better in the long run though. You really will. AND you will find someONE better as well. Just don't be in a rush!

Original Post by cellulitedelight: Once upon a time I was a rocker. Now I belong in one. This. And my 23rd birthday isn't even until next year! I'm a serious curmudgeon when it comes to going to shows these days. I have uttered the following, "No creepy dudes better rub up against me." "It's too hot in here." "My feet hurt." "What is with these ** people pushing against me? STOP PUSHING ME! STOP PUSHING! AHHHH!" "I'M GONNA ELBOW YOU IN YOUR MOTHER ** FACE IF YOU STEP ON ME ONE MORE TIME!" I am sooooooooooooo not into "the scene" these days. I will just stay at home and bake and play canasta, thanks.

Original Post by muttlover: I guess that part doesn't annoy me as much as it should because my parents agreed to help me pay for living until I graduate. I ran out of savings a while ago, but they're fine with helping for now. He already graduated though, right? I doubt your parents would be okay with supporting you indefinitely. If you couldn't find a job for whatever you went to school for I'm sure they would rather you take ANY job that helps you pay the bills while you keep looking. Or maybe they would continue to support you as long as they knew you were giving the job search your full effort. Sounds like your boyfriend is not even doing that. He's not being an adult. At all. He's being a child. More specifically, he's acting like he's your child. If you feel like you are more of a mother than a lover, that's a serious problem. I do not think this relationship is going to benefit you in any way. Kick him out.

Original Post by muttlover: Yes, I have talked to him about how I feel. I don't know if I can stay in the relationship until he finds a job. He's been putting very little effort into finding one. I understand the economy is very tough, but he refuses to apply to jobs he feels he's too qualified for (waiting tables, anything below a manager position, etc.). That is RIDICULOUS muttlover. As a waiter he could at least contribute something to household expenses. It's not like he has to stay a waiter forever. He could continue looking for a job that is more suitable. Since he's not actually doing everything he possibly could to remedy the situation I say kick his ass out and let him see what life is really like. What he is asking of you is not fair at all. I'd have a completely different opinion if he was willing to take any job that pays... but he's not.
Weight Loss	Cheese...	Jul 09 2011 21:52 (UTC)	14
I compromise on the cheeses that taste the same to me in low-fat or non-fat varieties- cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, feta. However when it comes to things like havarti, pepper jack or extra sharp cheddar... I'd rather have less of the full-fat stuff than a buttload of the low-fat stuff. Some low-fat cheese is just absolutely disgusting. I have contemplated the benefits of switching over completely to "foods in their natural states" buttttt right now I just don't have a big enough calorie budget to accomodate that. For now I will have to keep using artificial sweetener and skim milk to keep my numbers low.
Foods	What's the last thing you ate, and what are you eating later?	Jul 09 2011 21:44 (UTC)	3
Last thing I ate was a slice of homemade vegetarian lasagna. Tofu, diced tomato, spinach, carrot, onion and eggplant sauteed with garlic. Layered in with a low fat cottage cheese/egg/parmesan mixture. Pesto cream sauce drizzled over and then liberal amounts of tomato basil sauce. Repeat. Topped with more tomato sauce and a blend of six cheeses- mozzarella, sharp provolone, romano, parmesan, fontina and asiago. It was pretty much delicious. On the menu for dinner is marinated chicken kebabs. I think I've had enough cheese for the day.

I personally am okay with seeing a bra strap when someone is wearing a spaghetti strap. I do have a caveat. I think it looks tacky if the bra strap is bright red/hot pink/some other bright color that does not actually match the tank top. I usually wear black with black but nude or whatever is closest to your natural skin color would probably be okay with most colors. Of course no strap is better. If you don't have huge boobs consider a bandeau sports-bra-esque style. It basically just flattens down your boobs and acts much like the shelf bra. No annoying underwire.

The Lounge	birth control pill side effects	Jul 08 2011 23:40 (UTC)	14
Original Post by randomv3: TMI warning ZOMG. I spoke too soon. I noticed some cramping so I ran to the bathroom and sure enough...breakthrough bleeding. NOOOOO!! Tomorrow is the slutwalk AND my boyfriend's birthday. WORST TIMING EVER. Well if you are still bleeding tomorrow then just don't wear white panties to the slutwalk anddddd there's always the secret weapon of birthday sex... blow jobs! Yay! <.< As for the actual question. I was also a psychotic **** thanks to my birth control for the first 3 months. I literally felt CRAZY... if that makes any sense. I never have felt so out of control of my emotions in my life. I stopped taking it for about a year and then started on a new kind. It didn't make me crazy, but it did make me feel nauseous every time I took it for the first month or two. As someone else said, it will usually go away in a few months.
The Lounge	Can you look at yourself naked in the mirror?	Jul 08 2011 23:33 (UTC)	13
I like most of my body but not all of it. Still got a few more pounds to lose until I am really pleased. So right now... I avoid the mirror if I'm buck nekkid. I do use my mirror to gain confidence for something else though. I watch myself dance semi-nude. There is a methodology to hip swinging and ass jiggling. I swear there is. If I am practicing a sexilicious dance to spring on my husband later then I want to be sure that my attempts are actually sexy and not all awkward and laughable. And usually- with the addition of heels and cute lingerie- I am pretty pleased with the show I can put on. So... sometimes the mirror is a good thing.

Original Post by corinth13: I'm 21, 5'2" and 116 lbs with an hourglass built but small girls. Yeah I think you can wear pretty much whatever you want! If the invitation was formal looking then definitely dress nice. A simple, sophisticated dress is always a good option.

Allergy Remedies

Is It Possible to Go Natural?
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
