Confessions?

mehgank

I have that too VegasGroom. I also designated a person to take care of my personal affairs should I ever be hospitalized for a mental disorder. I figure I'm a ticking timebomb since I have mental psychoses on both sides of my family (schizophrenia on my mom's side, bipolarism on my dad's side).

I developed that fear thanks to living here in Tampa where local resident Terri Schiavo was a vegetable for nearly eight years while her husband and parents sued each other fighting to take her off, or keep her on, life support.  It was really sad; MRI's, etc. showed most of her brain was dead but her parents clung to this hope that some miraculous medical treatment would bring her back.  I decided I didn't want that to ever happen to me.

Vegas - have you read Michael Schiavo's book?  It's really, really good.  It's called "Terri: The Truth."

You actually should NOT brush your teeth right after drinking soda.  It brushes the acid into the enamel and is more harmful.  You should wait about 30 minutes and rinse with water first.

I confess that though I'm not loving the idea of being umemployed, I'm not in a hurry to jump back into the working world.  I'm mentally and physically exhausted from my last job and I just want a break.

I also confess that I just don't miss people.  I think I lack that emotion.

I am the same way. The only people I ever miss are FI and my two deceased Grandmothers.

They have a roller derby here.  I really want to join. 

I confess that I scanned this post.

I confess that even though my family has suffered from sickness related to smoking, I don't really <em>want </em>to quit.  I know I won't succeed if I try because I don't want to.

I always laugh when people say "I confess I didn't read the whole post"  I saw a couple in this thread.  Hell, neither did I.  I don't have the attention span.  Not so much confession-worthy though.

I will try to check it out, the case actually interested me and FI is a doctor so I get lots of different views of that type of stuff.

I just looked for it. No Kindle version.  Boo.

OWN, J's sister said something the other day that made me cold to the bone. "Our family doesn't have a long life span, so there's that."

Thank you, thank you very much. I REALLY didn't need to hear that. In the back of my mind I know it; his mother died at 60 - 10 years ago; they have no grandparents living, and only 1 aunt alive at 84. SD/Father is 70, but not in super health.

Now I get to worry about this. She really doesn't understand the concept of think before you speak.

ohwhynot

Missy, that's terrible.   What a rotten thing for her to say!  I'm sorry.  

In H's case, it's absolutely true, though.  His Dad died of a heart attack at age 52.  His uncle died of a heart attack in his 50s (not sure the exact age), and his other uncle had a heart attack in his late 60s, but lived.  That uncle runs regularly and is whip-thin.

My H is on cholesterol medications and his cholesterol is in the normal range now, and he exercises at least 5 days a week.  He is strong, but he's fat.  He's lost weight but he is still medically "obese."  He turns 51 in February and sometimes I can't shake the feeling that we are living on borrowed time.  It scares the hell out of me.

The case really interested me, too.  I felt for the parents - but I always kinda sided with Michael.  And after the reading the book (even though it's obviously biased) I still feel the same way.

I confess that although I'm excited for my MOH and maids, I'm a little bummed that 1/2 of them will be prego for my bach party and wedding.

Your bridesmaids are going to be spaghetti sauce?  Strange.

Yes, they will be spaghetti sauce and it <em>is</em> weird.  I'm disappointed because all of our guests might try to eat them.

Did I spell everything right this time?

I am totally jonesing spaghetti now.

I am making spagheeti pie tonight for the first time. Has anyone had it?

J&K10910

Spaghetti pie sounds...like I can decide if it's dinner or dessert.

FWIW, here's the recipe.

They aren't making fun of your spelling.  They are making fun of the slang "Preggo".

Oh we probably didn't realize you were being sarcastic because you didn't use the sarcastic font. It's called "Sarcastica Bold".
