Rarely (never) flame free.


Let's hear them.

The nearest Chipotle is 61 miles away from me. I've never eaten there. That's Part 1. Part 2 is that something legitimately feels missing from my life because of this. The reactions I get when I say there is no Chipotle here and I've never eaten it make me feel like it's akin to have access to clean water.

I regularly need to look up internet abbreviations... Can't decide if this is because I am old and don't know them or am old and keep forgetting them... I also honestly believed I got dumber through my 20s

@EllyD14‌'s avatar looks like a puppy to me. I know it's not but I can't unsee it.

This is funny...and on this note, @GhostMonkey's avatar looks like someone in a snow suit laying in the snow (until you click on her name and realize it's NOT). Even though I know it isn't, it's all I see.

I always see it as a blue airplane.


Which reminds me - @hereistreble - yours looks like a Zodiac chart to me (until I clicky).


Oh, it's not a zodiac chart?!?

DH and I have to/want to take a couple months off from TTC due to the miscarriage. I am now hoping I can get pregnant between November-January, so that I will either have a brand new baby or be huge at her wedding next September so I don't have to stand up in it. Why? Because she sent me these pics saying this is what she want the wedding party to wear:

What the ever loving fuck? That's probably the tackiest thing I've ever seen. Ever.

ETA: FX you won't be wearing it!

@jags8 Wow those dresses are really something else... Just look at this way you'll look fab on your next duck hunt!

@booklover811‌ It's not uncommon for me to skip showers on the weekends.

@Joy2611‌ This is not silly. As someone who cans, I appreciate it (although don't expect it) when people return the jars to me.

You're not missing anything. It's not even worth thinking about.

First confession is I've never been to Chipotle. 

Reason being, which is my second confession, I get really anxious at any food establishment where I have to essentially build my own burrito/sub/sandwich/etc. I'm always afraid the employees and the people in line behind me think I'm an idiot because I can't decide what I want. If you give me too many options, I get flustered then end up putting stuff that does not taste good together at all because I just want to get the heck out of there.

I'd wear it simply because of how fucking ridiculous it looks. Then I would post it on all the social media with a #wtf hashtag.

@hereistreble‌ sometimes I think maybe I should just do it, but keep a carton of cigarettes in my cleavage, and a can if PBR in my hand at all times. Especially if I'm pregnant. For all the pictures.

holliberry28

@pippacricket, I think no matter what you put together at Chipotle, it'll taste decent.  And, most people put everything in it.  Just wish they had a shrimp or a fish option, because the new tofu is pretty gross.  The meat is delicious though from when I used to eat meat.

@Jags8, you should email her a link to this post so she can see what an atrocity that dress is. Haha.

@Joy2611, I just ordered a set of blue pint mason jars that I have to use as vases tomorrow.  I have to someone buy flowers, arrange them in the jars, and bring them to a restaurant my sister is having her 45th birthday at.  It's her version of the bat mitzvah she never had. Oy.

I like sleep more than showers and my hair really doesn't get greasy. This means I will sometimes go days without showering.

I only wash my hair every three days. Dry shampoo is my friend. Dirty hair styles better and not washing it cuts my getting ready routine to "wash body/face, shave, dry self, clothing, makeup." 

I'm intrigued. Please recommend a brand. The cheaper, the better...at least to try out.

Batiste is a decent brand and under $10. I've also used Lush, but I think it's more expensive. Batiste comes in different scents and with light coloring for blond/brunette/redhead (most dry shampoos are white and can dull the shine of your hair). For best results, I spray/sprinkle on the night before and put my hair in a loose pony or bun. Gives it a chance to work in.

Fantastic. Sold. This is exactly what I need on mornings when I don't have time to wash my hair.

I, too, sleep in very little clothing. Partly because it's comfy. Partly because I'm all like "FUCK YEAH I DID THAT" when my husband gets a boner.

Me either. FFFC2: I never wear pants to bed. 

Now you all know too much about me. 

I sleep naked. 

I don't wear pants to bed either. I used to sleep naked but now that DS is in a toddler bed he sometimes gets in our bed in he middle of the night.

It's not my business, so I won't say anything to her, but I'm frustrated with my coworker.  She's a diabetic.  We were talking about soda earlier this week because she noticed I don't raid the office fridge.  She told me she drinks 1-2 six-packs a day.  She knows it's not good for her, her doctor has told her to stop, and she won't take any medicines to regulate her diabetes.  I'm frustrated because I really like her, and I want her to take care of herself!

This showed up in my newsfeed :I'm so annoyed with some females lol .. Some of y'all dress half naked on the street , but yet don't want to be addressed. Then when y'all get holla at ,the dude get ignored or cussed out lmaoo .. I don't get it . U want attention , but when u get it , u shut it down . And some wonder why these dudes don't have ANY respect for some females . Well cas some don't have respect for themselves ! You give it , u will get it . Whatever u dish out , you serve .  

I guess my FFFC: I wanted to delete her based on the grammar and spelling alone. However, the underlying message is what pushed me to press that delete button. She can't understand why a woman should be able to wear what she wants without dealing with unwanted attention. 

Bee1112

I can't wait to try this dry shampoo stuff you all are taking about. I have never heard of it. My hair is so thick and long. Thinking about washing it makes me want to cry sometimes.

This reminds me of my MIL. She had to have her heart stopped and restarted in April because it was in a-fib. She really needs to change her lifestyle habits. But she hasn't stopped drinking or smoking. It sucks to watch people you care about do that to themselves.

I hate being cold when I'm trying to sleep. I ask for these every Christmas but DH refuses to buy them for me.

Last Christmas everyone in my family wore adult footed pajamas to our Christmas Eve GTG. We decided to make it a tradition. I'm already searching for a cute pair for this year!

I just wanna go over allllllll that with a red pen. And then smack her with a women's studies textbook.

Her response to me calling her out on her rape culture victim blaming was:  I'm speaking based on how society come at you . Your just going in too deep about it and your making it seem like I'm judging anyone . I am not . So maybe u should read over my status . I'm not saying she should get attention because of how she is dressed . Attention is EXPECTED . Based upon the way u are dressed . Especially if it is half naked . I'm not talking about going to a party or wherever . Just walking on the street . A guy is going to be tempted to speak to you y ? Cas of what u got on . U think the first thing he thinking of is what's on her brain ? That's all I was saying . Then attitude is given only because u don't want to be approached . That's dum . Then don't walk out your house looking like that . U can be aware and careful of what u put on . Some females just don't give a damn . I'm speaking based on society and how we are treated based on LOOKS . And I still didn't get an answer of whether u would walk the street half naked or not . It's just to prove my point .

Yeah, she needs a to meet my old WS professor. She would rip her a new one before she even knew what happened.

I'm jealous of anyone that can go more than 12 hours without washing their hair and it still looks normal.

Mine looks like I feel in a pool of oil after only a few hours. And forget conditioner. Dry shampoo is a daily necessity if I actually have to do things and look presentable.

I love footed pj's in the winter!  so even though it has been a long while my c is for black friday shopping one year a girlfriend and I wore them while shopping all night and breakfast in the am then at 11amish when I got home I went to bed in them.  Perfect!

HOW?!

I could totally do this if I let myself.  Diet Coke is a major vice for me.  I try to limit myself to 2-3 a day which I know is more than I should be drinking anyway.

I'm a little late to the dry shampoo party but I use "Not your Mama's." I also do not wash my hair everyday... Maybe EOD or every three days. I use a lot of "Not your Mama's" products bc they are very reasonably priced and they work. I'm really interested in trying the dry shampoo from whole foods! (One is opening here soon!)

Today I am making Jell-O shots for a concert tomorrow. Confession: In all my years I have Never made a single Jell-O shot. Any pointers?

I do this as well. I've discovered the joys of dry shampoo and I'm never going back to washing every day. My hair is curly and dries out if it's washed everyday anyway. 

I'm a curly girl too and my stylist said to only wash it once a week.  She said to condition it as often as I want though.  It is amazing how much better my hair is since I started doing that several months ago.  Oh, and a messy bun is my favorite style mainly because I can't wear my hair down if I don't wet it down and condition it and some mornings there's just no time for that, or I'm too lazy to do my hair.

Woo, curly girls unite! I wash my hair once a week too, with a sulfate-free shampoo so it doesn't strip out all the good oils. And then condition every time I shower. It grosses my sister out that I don't wash my hair more often, so sometimes I go two weeks without washing it and make sure she knows how long it's been.

FFFC: I am terrible with keeping up with vacuuming the house. Like, maybe once a month. When it does get vacuumed, usually DH ends up doing it, because he knows it is my least favorite chore. I try to justify it by telling myself that the carpet is so old anyway, it's not worth the effort. 

SoLucky32214

@tmessy‌ I will gladly vacuum your house if you fold my cloths.

Replace all the cold water with liquor! Rum and vodka work best, and the flavored kinds are delicious if you pair them with the same (or complementary) flavor of jello. The whipped cream vodka is also really good (if you like that flavor). 

Make sure you allow enough time for them to set naturally (don't do the quick set option), otherwise the jello will harden separately from the liquor and it's terrible (I learned this drunkly wanting more jello shots). Good luck and have fun! Jello shots are one of my favorites

@Joy2611‌, I thought mason jars were hard to get too. I only see small amounts in random stores. I've always wondered why there are so many Pinterest projects using them.

@14whitney‌, I've gotten so used to sleeping pantless that it's almost prevented me from traveling with friends. Vacation or having to sleep in pants due to room sharing?! Hmm... Luckily I chose the vacation.

My FFFC? I only vacuum under my bed once a year. Disgusting, yes, but it's such a pain in the ass.

divinemsbee

@Jags8 That is legit hideous. I know there are pictures, but I preferred to think no one ever actually wore those.

My sis is 'planning' her wedding, allegedly to be at the end of Feb. It's becoming really stressful to my mom because my sis is at this point planning pretty much 2 weddings, one church and one beach. She refuses to actually make decisions because that will mean letting go of one thing or another. But she needs to or she's going to end up with a bunch of half-assed stuff. And now she's thinking of pushing back the beach part until May.

This FFFC is really odd for me:
I've never been a super-jealous 'that girl is out to steal my may-un' type of woman, but this woman that works with H gives me strange vibes. She's nice enough, but she tells H all about her marriage and the problems they're having and when he's off work she manufactures reasons to call or text him. The only thing they are on together is the squad booster club, so it's not like there are booster club emergencies that couldn't wait until he was back in the office or go through someone else. I do feel like I'm being weird and paranoid, but H has lots of women friends and works with lots of women and none of them give me this feeling. I feel like she shares lots of inappropriate personal info. I haven't said anything to H, and I'm in no way suspicious of him, but it seems like sharing info about how you and your spouse fight about money and you walked out isn't something that should come into the office. I dunno, I'm probably being odd to think it's weird.

mellowmonkeymonkey

@annattcat32 Yeah, I can honestly say this status serves as a reminder of  why I am glad I got an education and continue to pursue higher education! 

FFFC: I was once anti-feminist. I thought I was taking the man's role. I thought  being independent women meant not being  in submission to the headship arrangement outlined in the bible. 

And then.... I went to college. I took classes that forced me to think. And I really wonder what would've happened had I decided not to pursue and education.

This reminds me how much the debt is worth it.

I just made jell-o shots last night for a golf tournament I'm in on Saturday.  Just mixed 2 cups vodka, 2 cups pink lemonade and 2 packets of gelatin.
