Peaceful Isle Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That is why it confuses me. I see it used so often, but I can't understand why people use it when they use it. Maybe it is more of just a tradition or a ritual ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That is why it confuses me. I see it used so often, but I can't understand why people use it when they use it. I don’t use it and hadn’t heard of it before here, but the explanation I’ve seen here is that it reminds the poster that everything they write should be for God’s glory: meaning kind words, etc. I always find it confusing because visually I try to read it and hear something like “Ah,meh, d, guh†in my head and it makes me stumble in reading the post. I find the star thing for threads equally confusing. Like sometimes someone will post something horrible that has happened to them and people give it 5 stars. Does 5 stars mean that you like that the thing has happened, that you are supporting the person, that you like the responses others gave? I would give a thread one star if it was about something like someone having cancer, because I’d think that would say “Cancer sucks, I’m sorry for you.†But then I realized that one star is supposed to mean “Your thread is terrible.†I think. So I don’t give stars ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanvan Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My vacuum cleaner bad bag was full today and the hose was clogged. I cleaned the electric griddle. One of the dogs ate the cat's food and threw up later. I washed my really warm Land's End sweater that is super light (it has some kind of name I can't remember) and am letting it air dry. I am in my pajamas and it is only 5:35 pm here. (I've been in them for at least 45 minutes.) I watered plants today. I fed my cat. I moved around piles of books today. I also walked all over the house from room to room putting things where they belong. (Whenever I do this Dh thinks I am wandering around aimlessly. He seriously thought that's what I did all day one Sat when he witnessed it. Now THAT was an interesting conversation.) I gave Dh a pile of old credit cards to destroy. I let Dd light the candle I got for Christmas. I told Dd's dog to just eat some poinsettias and get over himself. I put some jam on an English muffin. Is that uninteresting enough?

They closed the plant because we are under a state of emergency.... wish they'd called us to let us know they were closing.

mommymilkies Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 On that topic, I'm losing weight and guess where I'm losing first? Hint: it's not where I want to lose, because I am not particularly well-endowed. Life is not fair. That's always where I lose first, too. NOT FAIR! Aren't you supposed to like drink soy milk or something to prevent that? Doesn't work for me, at least. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm having flu-ish symptoms and it makes me sad and worried because I don't want to be sick and I don't want anyone else in my family to get sick. I started using eMeals and really like it so far. I'm having a torrid love affair with cranberry Stilton. I sneak it home from the store and eat if before my husband can have any.

I never noticed how the letters seem to illustrate the shape of the bOOks: A, B, C, D, DD. I become more like a V when I'm done nursing. No perk. I'll be a 34 V.

anabelneri Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 My 8mo has outgrown his carseat (tall boy!) but we can't get him a new one until next month. I have no idea what my bra size is... I think of myself as a B cup, but I think I'm actually like a G or something. I have this huge frame... the ladies would have to be like volleyball sized before it would make me look chesty. The flu sucks. We had it Christmas week. My kids liked chicken broth with ramen noodles after it, I liked chicken broth with a TON of garlic after, and my husband liked a bacon-avocado-cheddar burger after it. (Not kidding. He cooked it too.) The baby seems to have a cold, or at least snot in the back of his nose. He is playing with the sounds he can make using said snot. While latched on.

SorrelZG Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Y'all are cracking me up with the new cup size descriptions. lol Meanwhile, whoever mentioned up thread that they were boiling water motivated me to get up and get dinner started (the trainof thought behind the motivation is more interesting than might immediately be presumed so I'm not going to share it).

And if you were googling me, I'm not a 36H, I'm a 32H. Okay, to be honest I'm not totally a 32H. Only one side is a H, the other side can fit okay into a E or F. But I don't bother trying to measure the smallest one. Cause when I do I get boob over and underflowing on the other side. If I want to fit nicely I can either stuff one side or construct a frankestein bra. :p Mind you I would then have to buy two bras and cut them in half and sew them together. Then what would I do with the two left over halves??? Perhaps post a really weird sale on ebay? Would anyone here like to by the left side of a 32H and the right side of a 32F?

Someone said something about boiling water and that reminded me that I would really like a cup of tea if I can tear myself away from this....
