Reply to What's Wrong With Skinny Girls? in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

I agree with Dharma on this one. I am never going to be a size 4, ever. But I am all for exercising, eating right, and being healthy. And I think the point of some of the things on her article was just that. Looking at people who were skinny for all the wrong reasons. Not because it was just a part of their metabolism, but because they are literally starving themselves, making themselves sick, overexercising counting calories... etc. Quite different t

Sorry to hear about your injury on the job. I've been checking out your blogs since you posted a response on mine and all I am going to say is get your computer fixed. That's an order! I like your writing. Welcome!

The More I Think About It, The More I Like You in Blogging JoeUser Forums

After spending an insane amount of time reading, I've come to the conclusion that I've picked the cream of the crop to blog with. Joeuser has been a great place to interact, even with it's little ups and downs that go with a massively different community. Now, I am not going to name names, but after reading some comments that others have left, on long-ago written pos

Reply to To Heck With the Food Stamps, I'm Mad about the Manicures! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Jilluser, I see where you are going with your comment, but I choose to disagree. Is schooling a necessity? For some people, i think it is. You are also forgetting that, generally, those who do proceed further on in their education do 'pay back' their money that they receive as 'charity'. Yes, there are those professional students, but there are others who truly pursue education to better their circumstances. For those who are on assistance, end up fini

101.5 The Wolf FM. The Wolf isn't all bad. It's great when you get AC/DC's Highway to Hell on the radio while hitting a nice stretch of highway. It's not so good when you've heard 'Life is A Riverboat Fantasy' for the third time that day. It reminds me of partying up at the cottage near Haliburton. The times it bugs me most, is when I am hungover. Then, I just get insane pictures of my head of people who are waking up to it on the radio and

Reply to I am almost in the top 100, and Husband got a blog! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'm pretty greedy when it comes to telling people about my blogging activities. I like Joeuser a lot, and would mention it by name, but I'm not at ease with letting people I know in my 'real' life read my blog. I don't have anything to hide, obviously, but I wouldn't want to come to a point where I wouldn't want to post something that might be taken the wrong way without a lot of explanation.

Crazy In Love in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I might have mentioned the fact that in my little town we only have two radio stations to choose from. Wait. That's not entirely correct, we also pull in CBC Radio One, a country station, and a Christian Rock station, but since I'm not particularly fond of any of these channels, I'll say that the 2 options that I am left with is a Classic Rock station and a Top

I think that if it's not going to cause any trouble on the homefront (you did mention that Dave wasn't all gung-ho about it before, didn't you?) then, by all means go right ahead. I am a chicken and wouldn't even dream about doing it, simply because it looks too painful. The end result however, I think looks great. I vote on the labret... I am still kicking around the idea of an eyebrow ring. It's been on my mind for over a year, but still can

My daughter has always had a pretty late bedtime. Now that she's in school full-time, I'm finding it hard to try to get her to bed earlier. I liked the fact that she slept late, but now it's coming back to haunt me!

Reply to On being a girly girl... in Misc JoeUser Forums

I am wearing pigtails today. I look 'cute' or so says half-a-dozen people that I have run into. It's one of the first times in a long time that I've even looked faintly feminine. I liked the boy-look. I used to have very short, spikey hair. Wore just jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts. Now, my hair is much longer and I've bought some pretty nice, pretty girlie things. I wonder if it is the weather, or if we are all on some similar kick. I have always been j

There's A First Time For Everything in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've never had a comment of mine removed from a post, until today. Oh well. It must have hit a nerve enough for it to be removed, but in the grand scope of things, I suppose it doesn't really matter anyway. Not too much has been going on today... except that I feel like a Super Mommy! I cleaned the kitchen and it damn near sparkles. The place still smells

Reply to BLOGGERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!!! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Eternal Sunshine is supposed to be amazing, well-written and thought-provoking. (a shake your foundation kinda flick.) If you haven't seen LOTR go see it! If you have and just want to see it again... there's no shame in admitting it. If you don't really give a damned at all about it, I'd suggest House of Sand and Fog. Kingsley is supposed to be great. Looking forward to a possible review or two.

. Volunteer work is a hidden part of the economy. Without it a lot of things would never get done. I agree. With funding cutbacks, layoffs, etc., small organizations have had no choice in regards to being able to hire someone. A lot of these organizations are run on a not-for-profit basis, so cannot afford

Carelton's in Ottawa, right? And that other school that is promoting their criminal science... that wouldn't happen to be Trent, would it? It's a madhouse around here, with their p.r. group trying to lure in businesses and investors to help pay for their multimillion dollar expansions. Even if it isn't Trent, last year's SuperBuild effort gave lots of schools money to help build for new programs... too bad they didn't really do a lot of research about

I know I'm half-way intelligent, I know I write reasonably well, I know I'm a good person, a decent Mom, and so on and so forth...but to feel necessary for who I am and what I can do by someone other than my kids and my husband...

Reply to Throwing around the H word in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hate to me invokes feelings of bitterness, revenge, violence, and unforgiveness. Dislike? Is generally something that I am able to get over or at least, pushing aside because it's not worth my time. Sorry that you feel this way, though. Both feelings really do suck.

Every Brandon I know has a huge slacking problem. That's great! Almost every Brandon I know does, too! I played Alto sax in band.
