Reply to Obesity - WHY? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

So what's the problem? In my head I've got a switch - once I've put on a few kilos I recognise it pretty quickly and make sure I do more gym time than normal to make up for it. Do the obese never notice how they've changed? I was obese for many years. And now that I look back at photographs I can't believe I ever let myself get that way. In truth, no I didn't realize I was so large. I've since l

I am so glad she is okay! Bless your heart. I know that must have been terrifying. As for my answer...it's been awhile since I have taking a CPR class. I really need to take a refresher because I have often wondered if I remember enough to be able to do any good.

I win for being common and not being able to be imaginative under pressure? No fun.

Coke Adds....Vitamins? in Humor JoeUser Forums

The beverage industry has done it again. They've tried to improve on an already perfect product. There is nothing better than an ice cold Coca Cola straight from the can. The kind where the first sip makes your nose bubble, your eyes water and takes half the enamel off your teeth. But now they've jumped on the health-nut bandwagon and have come out with a v

Ah, my evil plan worked, HW! When will you see the rest? Well that is a good question. Whenever I write more. I have this bad habit of starting things I never finish. But as soon as I write more I will share it. Thanks adnauseam, a bit better than yesterday's offering I assume?

Oh this was so much fun! Makes me want to go find some of my teenage journals. I do remember I had a page of predictions and both Madonna and Michael Jackson were supposed to be dead by now. Lucky for them I was no prophetess.

I wish a JUser was near enough to where you were parked to come bring you some food and TLC. Sucks to be alone when you are in pain.

Don't Talk to Underwear in Writing JoeUser Forums

I've decided since all of my most recent stuff was depressing and sad I would pull something else out of the barrel. This is an untitled piece of fiction that I started working on a couple of years ago and never finished. Perhaps it is time to dust it off and see what I can do with it. My mother gave me a lot of advice over the years; don't talk to und

My therapist (and everyone else around me) keeps telling me I am not crazy. But lately (especially after the knife incident) I am definitely not feeling sane.

He tries to be a good father but he doesn't understand that children are CHILDREN. They are messy, they make mistakes, they behave like....children! Perhaps I am selfish in thinking I could do a better job on my own, but that is the way I feel. Especially after an incident that happened earlier. And the next thing I say does not do a good job of proving my own sanity nor my own ability to do the job on my own, but during a particularly nasty argum
