Really Early Evening Thread

Loopyseven

Actually, I think they are in order, but the one you are that week pops up in the middle, and at the end they don't change every week (monthly, I think) so 20 weeks is more than halfway across the thing.

Hey, at least Fruit Loop is actually  FRUIT right now. As opposed to a veggie or tuber or whatever. 

Loopyseven

Has anyone mentioned Steffi being back?   I see her in random threads giving advice.. and she posted in the confessions thread.  Is she just blocked by most people or are they ignoring her?

pokepoke27

I'm just ignoring her. She might get the hint if everyone does. 

angelstar975

I'm not exactly ignoring her because I just can't be mean to people. But she hasn't said anything I've wanted to respond to anyway.

Loopyseven

That's what I thought, but since I'm not around much during the day I figured I'd ask.

Loopyseven

I'm not sure where mod LC has been.  I know when she's around it's typically morning time - when I'm sleeping and working so I figured that's why I hadn't seen much of her.  All we're "required" to spend here is 3 hours per week.  Obviously I am an overachiever .

Wow, really? I would have thought it would be more. I could mod 10 boards for all the time I spend on TK, lol. I mean, hopefully that's a slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean.

pokepoke27

Angel - I don't think it's mean to ignore her. It's better than calling her an evil dog hating cvnt in response to anything she posts : )

It's certainly less mean... but it's still mean when put in the whole "treat others the way you'd like to be treated" context. I don't know. If she spoke directly to me about something, I would probably respond politely, but I wouldn't go out of my way to talk to her.

ETA - ALSO, I feel really bad for the AE. Not feeling beautiful in your wedding pictures would be really tough.

Loopyseven

<div>Me too!</div>

pokepoke27

Yeah, poor thing. There were a few pictures from the wedding I wasn't too fond of, but over all I like how I looked in mine. I couldn't imaging hating them : (

angelstar975

I'm not worried about my weight in my wedding pictures... I have a total of 10 pounds I'd like to lose and I could still look great without losing it. I'm more worried about my nose. I hate my nose and there were a bunch of engagement pictures I really didn't like because of it. I thought about getting it fixed before the wedding, but the money isn't there and it's probably too close at this point anyway. If my stupid old car hadn't died, I probably would have done it by now.

Loopyseven

I felt bad for her too.  That's an awful position to be in, hating your wedding pictures.  

willywally5

Angel, you are beautiful. What is it about your nose that you don't like? I have a huge schnozz. It's a family trait. Gah. 

texasgurly13

I'm kind of ignoring her (Steffi).  I never really interacted with her much to begin with though.

texasgurly13

I feel bad for that AE too.    I want to give her a hug.  

LeiselEB

Anyone still around? ETA: suddenly all the posts show up - nevermind

I feel awful for that AE as well. I wasn't at all happy about how I looked on my wedding day. There are a lot of pictures I really like, but a ton that I just hate looking at. I'm happy that at least some I like. I can't imagine hating all of them. 

I ignore Steffi - but if she said something worth responding to, I might stop ignoring her. I think it's weird she came back.

[QUOTE]Tex - I made/decorated our unity candle and the weekend before the wedding H dropped it and half the stuff cracked off.  I sent him to the store to buy a replacement. :).
Posted by Loopyseven[/QUOTE]

<div>I talked to him about it again and he's okay with it.  I told him we could change it, and he said nt to worry about it.  He's been so tired lately with all the hours he's working, that I don't think he has enough energy to really care.  </div>

angelstar975

Wally, I feel like it's too big, it sticks out too far and it has a bump. Oh, and from certain angles, it kind of turns downwards. I'm just all sorts of not a fan. I've been saying since I was 15 that I was going to get it fixed (ironically, there was nothing wrong with it then, which I now know from looking at pictures) but I haven't been able to do it yet.

angelstar975

Leisel, I was FB stalking you last night and did not find one single picture from your wedding that you don't look phenomenal in.

<div>Hmmm. I still think you are gorgeous but I get it that there are things that bug people. </div><div>The best advice I can give you is to seriously look at the photos you DON'T like and use them to figure out your best angles. Nerdy Girl has this down to a science from all the photo shoots she has done. If you study your photos, you will figure out which angles are best pretty quickly.  </div>

<div>Oh, Lord, the FB pictures were the worst.

pokepoke27

Leisel - you are absolutely georgous in all of the pictures I've seen you in. I can't imagine why you don't like them

Angel - I think the nose thing is only big to you. I've never thought it was too big. 

Dot - I know you weren't saying they're bad. I was just saying that I was surprised at how good they looked. It was kind of something I was apprehensive about. Also, Chelsea didn't bear mace a dog, so I wouldn't ignore her and be rude. Steffi on the other hand...

<div>Me too. Even pics from this past weekend, I see myself as hugely fat and too many chins. Even when I'm standing next to my sister who is bigger than I am. I just see my sister when I look at her photo, not someone who needs to lose weight. Does that make sense?</div><div>
</div>

texasgurly13

My mom has some pictures of me in her FB album when I was about 25 lbs heavier and had hair that was about a foot shorter. I cringe whenever I look at those pictures, because I seriously look horrible in them.  I look frumpy, old, and just overall blah.

I am happy with where I am now, though.  I busted my butt last year and got back to the weight I was in college.
