Im bored.

Lets discuss random crap?

I like to look at my parents were awesome, and I cant help but notice that almost every single person shown on that site is THIN. Was it rare for people to be overweight back then (70s and earlier)? That kind of makes me sad. If I went back in time, I would stand out because im fat.

What are some random things youve noticed, and would ilke to discuss.

My mom says she was picked on in high school in the 70's for being too fat. She was 5'3 and 130 lbs.

Really, Nebb, it just depends HOW far back you go. I mean, if we went back to the Italian Renaissance, we would be worshipped as healthy, voluptuous sirens.

I do believe that in general, people are larger now than they used to be. I read somewhere (don't remember where) that the average weight is something like 25-30 pounds heavier now than it used to be!

Aedes* · May 2010

I've noticed that I don't care about little wedding details and will likely have zero bows at my wedding.

I've noticed that I am suuupppper bored too.

Nebb · May 2010

I like to think to myself I will start eating like people back then ate - very few packaged items and making everything from scratch... but it takes so much damn time!

Maybe if I lived off of booze and cigarettes like my mom did in the 60s and 70s I would be thin.

tidetravel · May 2010

I have also noticed that I have major short-timer's syndrome at work. I have 2 weeks left until I leave for training for my new position and have ZERO interest in doing anything until then.

thesuninherhead · May 2010

I know when looking for vintage dresses, they were all tiny. I don't believe that overweight was as big an issue then as it is now; perhaps somewhat because our lifestyles are less active, but also because of the convenience food culture we have going due to the excess work that we engage in (eg. back in the 70's, it was much easier for one member of the couple to be the stay at home parent/houseperson and cook healthy meals etc), IMO.

This is how I read your first sentence. Color me confused.

aggiebug · May 2010

The smoked a lot back then, and didn't have 200+ TV channels to choose from. that is why they are so thin.

I am sad its sunday night

Nebb · May 2010

They also didnt have so many delicious flavours of chips

Lays sour cream and cheddar chips are my achilles heel right now. They also didnt sit on their butts so much on the internet and tv. *sigh*

I really wanna go back in time though, best diet ever.

Night_Sprite · May 2010

I am annoyed that it is window open at night time around these parts, which means no lights because the screens on these windows have ENORMOUS holes. I like having cheap rent, but sometimes these apartments, sometimes.

I just ate and now I want something chocolately but we have nothing.. I may have to settle for...oatmeal. Don't get me wrong, I love oatmeal but for dessert?

mwhitson14 · May 2010

Nebb, the gas station next door sells honey BBQ lays, which are KILLING me. They're sooo yummy.

I'm catching up on Grey's and ready to go home. An hour and a half left. Then I'm going to make some tuna and force myself to eat it for lunch this week. I love tuna but I'm lazy about making it. I don't even know how much mayo or pickles to put in it!

Night_Sprite · May 2010

Just bring a toothbrush/mints or you'll feel icky tuna breathed forever, Whit.

thesuninherhead · May 2010

Random thought:

I'm watching Dr Phil and holy hell, what has Robyn done to her face? Holy fish lips!

Night_Sprite · May 2010

Random: I think it's easier to hydrate in the summer when it feels natural to drink things. I struggle with proper hydration when it's cold out, even with warm liquids.

tidetravel · May 2010

Right back at ya, Manda

1 can tuna + 1 tbsp mayo (or miracle whip, whatever) + a little dab of mustard + 1 tsp dill relish + 1 tsp sweet relish + 2 slices wheat bread = yum

Random fact: when a persons "pointer" toe (next to the big toe) is longer than the big toe it creeps me out.

jessjo04 · May 2010

My random thought... why do tampon labels tell you what size to use based on your amount of flow in milligrams? How the hell do I know how many milligrams my flow is?!

Night_Sprite · May 2010

I want to start making chicken salad. All I know is that the place I love puts grapes in it. That's all I'm working with.

the next time I'm in the chem lab, I'll know who to ask. thanks.

Nebb · May 2010

I think my toes look like turtle apendanges. I like to wiggle them around and pretend its a turtle.

I found out recently that my husband never went out as a kid to catch tadpoles, so he has no idea how a frog grows. It makes me sad that he missed out on that childhood experience. I blame his dad. MY DAD took me, and my brothers.

Night_Sprite · May 2010

Nebbula, how'd the great garden takeover go in round 2?

Nebb · May 2010

I really like the new kotex commercials, making fun of tampon and pad commercials. Theyre freaking hilarious.

CQTM, for real. That IS random.

And I used to catch tadpoles as a kid, but they died after a few hours :(

my cat plays fetch.

He has a hair tie (his treasure) he'll bring it to me, then I'll fling it. He'll run and get it and bring it back. He sets it down and just paws at it until you fling it again.

Im bored.
