i'm technically hourglass, though i don't so much look it right now i'm afraid.  i lose from my butt/hips first.  then stomach.  i don't really lose my girls...

I'm the same way...  though I still have a butt when I'm thin, it's just nicer shaped.

I just got some good news.  The office space next door to ours is a private corporate gym.  It was just announce that members of a club I belong to will be able to use this gym for $20/mo.  This will be awesome this winter.  Since they have locker room/showers I can even do lunch hour workouts.

That's great!

I kept trying to type "It's shot" the other day and autocorrect kept chaging the o to an i.

I think someone was funning with me somehow!

See, exactly!  They're TRYING to get you in trouble via text.  I mean, just look at how many words autocorrect to penis or a variation on that theme.

Has never had an autocorrect to penis. Feels I must not be using the right words.

I don't have an iPhone, so neither have I... but I have a hard time believing that a mom who doesn't know her phone well enough to turn off the autocorrect texts about dicks often enough that her phone just assumes that's what she means ;)

I'm not sure how autocorrect works on iPhones, but isn't it sort of intuitive? Doesn't it pick the most used words and phrases when it corrects? Anyway, assuming that is what always makes me laugh the hardest. Because at one point someone used 'skittletits' in a sentence.

I think it's supposed to be, but I also think that the programmers have a bit of a sense of humor.  Some of the stuff that pops up just can't be accidental.  ;)

Bummer, sorry Elaine, but yeah, it's better that you found out now...

If anybody needs a pick-me-up, autocorrect fails always make me giggle.  Actually, they make me giggle enough that I probably shouldn't be looking at them at work.  I can't always stifle them.

Pics of ship phone!

Still laughing.

I like wawa skittletits, myself ;)

Sorry to those of you that had crappy Mondays.  :-/

I had a pretty good day.  I went to a great spinning class after work, and then met my sister for a steak dinner, which was delicious and fun.  Our relationship is so much better now that she has her own place!

Also, this makes me happy :)

Not a fan, in general, of pranks. I lack the requisite sense of humor.

i'm with you on that one.

Eh, I like pranks when they're actually funny.  I tend to see a lot that are stupid or border on cruel.  Not a fan of those.

My favorite mispronunciation of my name was how my great aunt Mimi used to say it.  Samanthia.  I always thought that was a bit odd... I mean, clearly she'd have been told my actual name at some point?  She used to write it that way, too.  I always kinda wondered whether my parents had corrected her on the spelling of my nickname once with "there's an 'I' at the end" and it just stuck.

My friend Leah has similar issues.

I think it's pretty clear that the pronunciation is "Lee-uh" but she gets "Lee" all the time.  I always thought "Lee" was spelled Leigh (I mean, if you're not going to spell it "Lee").

Yeah, I think that's an easy one - I'd say "Lee-uh."  I'd never say "Lee."  I guess I wouldn't be shocked to be corrected to "Lay-uh," although that should clearly be spelled Leia.  :D

Obviously.

Well, it's been three months, but the guy in the OP has committed for "at least a year." So he's not leaving right away.

...or am I missing something?


No, that's right. But I have a problem with making that decision after only 3 months, and determining an exit date so soon.

This...  For me it reads like he's checking out of the relationship emotionally for all intents and purposes.  He's staying to help, but his goal is to get to that year so he can leave... and I think that kinda sucks at this stage.  That's probably got more to do with the way I'm reading it than what he's actually saying, though.

You could also go get some more roasting veggies (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, squash, etc.) and just do roasted chicken and vegetables.  Easy, but it's one of my favorites.

Maybe some kind of chicken broccoli rice casserole?

Yeah, or a chicken pasta bake?

Chicken and rice (or barley, or pasta) soup?

Maybe so about the kid.  But there is a very good possiblity that his soulmate is dead and whatever comes out the other end of stroke recovery may be a personality he isn't attracted to.  Because he's known her for one year he should waste the rest of his life on this person he doesn't even like anymore? 

When you put it that way, no.  We can't know either way, though.

I guess I'm just idealistic, and probably a little naive, 'cause the situation as written in the OP still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I think what gets me about it is that he calls her his soulmate, but has effectively given up on her when she's not fully recovered three months after a major stroke.  It's the three months that gets me.  He doesn't know how her recovery is going to work out, he can't know that yet...

If and when it becomes clear that his fiancee is not coming back, I don't think I'd fault the guy for leaving.  The situation is awful.

I'd like to think that if I were really in love with somebody, that would be all that matters, but I don't know that for sure.  I DO know I'd be able to hold out hope for more than three months.  Especially if I was seeing progress...

Is It Possible to Go Natural?
