KrissiK Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I thought the official uniform for ITT hunks were white shorts, and something on top...a shirt of some sort. Bermuda shorts and polo shirts. At least for Rocco and Roderigo. They are the cabana boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I do, too. So I stopped. In July!! 😂 Argh! For most of my life, I had a 31/32 day cycle, but since my youngest was born, It's been 24/25 days and sticks around for a week. This last cycle? 22 days. :glare: I'm getting too old for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Warning: Very Sad and Serious Lectury Post I use the prostitution discussion to point out, depressingly, that while some people sell sex voluntarily, most prostitutes around the world are also slaves, and when they aren't slaves per se, often they are addicted to drugs and unable to get the medical care they need to heal their minds and bodies. Many of them were abused as children. It's a super harsh way to introduce the topic but (a) all of a sudden the whole stranger conversation becomes a lot more real and (b) it's the truth. The vast majority of people who feed themselves by selling sex were abused as children, were often orphans, and/or have been sold into slavery outright or are effectively wage slaves who cannot escape. Extremely few prostitutes sell sex because they enjoy the occupation, and even those who do are so rare that I'd almost say it's a kind of kink (sorry SWB) rather than a career choice. So I would object to "unsavory" description. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yoga pants, tank tops with Ts over them and flip flops or running shoes depending on how formal the situation is.

When she finally made it off the toilet and could get some supper she choked on some water and started coughing and hiccuping at the same time. If she is catching sick we may have to delay our departure a day or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Awe, now I feel bad. But is it really a donut if it tastes like kale or is it donut shaped kale? The baby in the picture seemed to like it but babies can be too innocent to know better. I should make them on April 1 and cover them with carob. Do it! I dare you!

KrissiK Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well, so far healthy eating this year has gone out the window. But I thought i’d Celebrate that fact with McDonald’s for supper. Actually, no. We are having McDonald’s but only because DH and DS are gone and I just didn’t feel like cooking. I need to figure out how to stick to a healthy eating plan. I know what to do.

I just have no self-discipline. We got a menu in the mail yesterday from a Chinese restaurant nearby that is under new management, and they said they deliver. Tonight I ordered from them, delivery, for supper. Tasty enough food, and very pleasant delivery gal. I didn't have to cook or think of a meal plan for today, either. The rice was a little cool, but the rest was piping hot. Yes, I'm eating delivered restaurant food just a couple of days before I will be eating restaurant food for weeks. I'm not sick of restaurant food yet, and I'm tired. Boy, is my endo going to chew me out when I next see him. I'll likely be in a mood to chew back just a bit, however. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 None of my dc ever cut their own hair. And only one ever cut anyone else's hair. But, par for the course, it was ds10 who did it. When he was 3, he cut the hair of one of my daycare kids. When her mom asked her why she let ds10 do it (they were the same age), she said, "He said he would make me beautiful." You have exceptional children. At the minimum, every girl I've ever known has cut their own hair at least once. I tell parents, "it's not a matter of "if," but "when.""

Tsuga Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The guy at Trader Joe's looked at me like I was a prepper for buying three days worth of canned food which I purchased to replenish our emergency rations. I know we won't likely survive a missile attack, but it reminded me of other emergencies. He didn't know I also bought emergency backpacks and water containers (old ones were recycled after the last camping trip) on Amazon. Don't care, the CDC says to do it so I'm being a responsible adult. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahab was a woman who got paid to be with a man. "Be" didn't need to have an exact explanation. Agreed. But even if they ask, I promise that more technical details does not make them more curious. On the contrary, for the little one who just kept asking specific questions, I got more and more detailed, to my chagrin but I tried to remain cool about it. You start with general words and go deeper (pardon the pun) as they ask. In my experience they will shut it down if they are not ready. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
