'Fessions

bbyckes

I know it's a popular opinion to think we're "internet strangers", but I think we know way too much eachother to be purely strangers on the interwebs.

I had such a great workout and then I came home and ruined it by stuffing my face with pizza.

temerityjane

cacoffer - the "internet strangers" line is only pulled out by people who want to act like they're above all that's going on:"omg I can't believe you get so worked up over what an INTERNET STRANGER said.""whatever, like some opinions from INTERNET STRANGERS really matters.""it's really sad that you take a message board full of INTERNET STRANGERS so seriously"That attitude is so 2002.

bbyckes

you're too right - any other time its all about being BFFs.

NuggetBrain

That attitude is so 2002. Actually Jane, it's so 2000-late. But you, my dear....well, you are obviously so 3008.

Confession #3: I find the whole "omg your full name is in your bio" thing to be so ridiculous, I wrote about it today.

bbyckes

FI left in a huff upstairs. YES! I'm kinda glad he's gone.  I got tired of hearing him talk.

NuggetBrain

My FI is out with his boys. Which means there's nobody to talk me off the Dr. Pepper and saltine cracker ledge right now. I need an intervention. Now. Quick. Please.

temerityjane

Saltines are a waste of calories!

NuggetBrain

But they taste sooooooooooo gooooooooooood. I have a tube next to me. They're calling my name. They're saying "eat us Nugget, we taste like sunshine and rainbows and Simon Baker's penis."

temerityjane

How many saltines are in a serving?

bbyckes

I'd pass unless you're talking Ryan Reynold's.

NuggetBrain

5. At 60 calories a serving. And I can easily eat my way through the whole damn tube without blinking. I added up the crackers in there, it would be 420 calories in a tube.

temerityjane

You can eat like... 3 saltines or something like two and a half cups of popcorn. Saltines don't take up any stomach space!

NuggetBrain

I know! But I don't have any popcorn or "filler" food in the house. I just ate two cans of green beans and some turkey, but the green beans were only 140 calories for 7 servings. Which is what I ate. Because I *heart* me some green beans.

temerityjane

I'm doing WW right now and the only way it is succeeding is that the house had to be completely cleared of stuff like that. Like saltines, you don't think of them as unhealthy so you eat like... 40. Skinny Cow is my savior at the moment. And multigrain tositos.

My confession: This rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not looking to start a rumble because I'm tired, but really?  You might want to avoid the NY board then.  There have been many discussions about criteria and how to get in NYT.  Some of us discussed offline why or why not too.  It isn't a big deal.  There is a whole ranking and point system, Julez know about it and so do a lot of other NY brides.  I don't know how long you have been in NY but there is no reason for it to rub you the wrong way.

OK, I've got another confession, and one I hope peeps can help with. I can't get a friggin pic posted.  I went to the basic page and uploaded the smallest photo I had here at home, but it doesn't show on here. However, my quote shows.... Can someone PLEASE tell me how to do this?  I feel - invisible. I'll resize a better one at work tomorrow. I want a face here

ricksang

Did you upload the picture to shutterfly or photobucket? Upload them there. Copy the properties. Go to tinypic.com or tinyurl.com and paste the properties into the bar and make a tinyurl. Copy the tinyurl address and paste it into your profile using this code take out my tinyurl and put your own in there. ,<img src="http://tinyurl.com/m95edu&quot; width=275">

I didn't realize there was a specific point system, but looking at the wedding announcements it is very obvious that there are themes to the people they pick and the kind of background, jobs, families they have, so it totally makes sense to me that there is a point system. I don't think E was off in her statement about fitting the criteria b/c her situation sounds like about 9/10 weddings they put in the announcements. Which is why I don't think we'll ever make it in.

mrsAE

I think you'll make it because, based on what you said here- you work for a not for profit, your education, and your very NY story.  I don't know about your fiance but based on you, it could work.  Gawker exposed the point system a while ago and NYT defended it, then added a bigger variety of people. 

missy68

Bless you, ricksang.... I'll try it. Then find a better one tomorrow

A friend of my husbands got married recently and I saw the pictures on facebook... I really really really wanted to post pictures but I didnt because I didnt want the whole boob shelf thing to get turned around on me (mine was accidental and no where NEAR the magnitude of this one, which was quite obviously intentional), so I didnt bother. i thin kyou should post them anyway.  as the instigator of the boob shelf incident, i can say that i personally think you've come out the other side and i don't really see it coming up again.but we vultures need new carcass to pick at, ya know? throw us a bone!

I don't know how long you have been in NY but there is no reason for it to rub you the wrong way. My issue wasn't with the "point system" of the Times Wedding section. It was the presentation an unnecessary social resume that did the rubbing.And I've been in NY long enough to know that I should stay away from the NY board for the most part. I get how NY works and I choose to stay out of it.

cocitygirl

I called in sick to work today (and even told BF and my mom that I was sick) because I just wanted a quiet day alone for once. Also, I am scared of this board.  I get butterflies every time I post here.

mrsAE

You still seem confused, it is the same type of discussion that the NY board would have about criteria.  It was necessary, I was discussing how I was qualified and chose not to do it.  If I said that and didn't post, you or someone else would have said something about that too.  I know everything I say is scrutinized and I really think it is funny.   

wadingmoose

cocity, you're good so far in my books.  The best bet when starting is keep your head down and don't suck.Well done.

cocitygirl

Thanks wading!   I'll try not to suck.

agk0125

AE- I wasn't scrutinizing anything it was just odd outpouring of info for an otherwise frivolous thread. I personally don't know anything, or care to know, anything about NYT bride qualifications. Julez's comment was about knowing someone in it, not about the qualifications. You volunteered those on your own it seemed. And it just didn't make sense to me.
