Mmm yeah no... People don't like "attention whores" whether they're famous or not. It's obnoxious, for reasons that many others have pointed out here. I have a friend who is a lovely person but who needs to be the center of attention - she is in fact gorgeous, intelligent, and hilarious. However, when she gets on a…

Uhh... but what if you pretty much DID just get dragged through hell backwards by beserk groundhogs? I wait tables, and after 10 hours of that, I definitely look like shit... but there's no way I'm going to drive all the way home, shower, and change, just so I can look nice for other people when I go out for my…

Also, you're a jerk for saying that me and mom would have been just fine if we'd just "made simple changes to our diet". You don't know ANYTHING about my own eating habits, or my mother's, and you don't know ANYTHING about my internal health. You also clearly haven't read any research on gluten intolerance, because if…

I hate to agree with this at all, but I do think sometimes that can be the case. I have terrible willpower, I really really miss some foods that I shouldn't have anymore. And I do slip up and cheat sometimes... and then I suffer for it. Makes it easier to stick with the good habits for longer after that.

Go read some Science with a capital S. I never said it's real for everyone who claims it. The other person claimed that only celiac disease, i.e. gluten allergy, is legitimate, and that gluten intolerance or sensitivity is not a real thing. In fact, it is, and many people do have some degree of it. As I responded to…

You don't get it, clearly. You are saying that because you and your mother had shitty eating habits, that's why you had health problems. Well, yeah. That doesn't extrapolate to everybody. That's why I don't assume all people with health problems are shitty eaters. Just like how you shouldn't assume all people with…

SO GOOD.

The fact that you call it "weight class" pretty much sums up your subconscious feelings about it. That term doesn't exist outside of some sports. Maybe with regards to pets? But not with humans, aside from the aforementioned sports. People are the weight that they are. That's it. Even the terms that are used in…

Did you miss the part where I replied to a different person and a different part of the conversation? That's not the only topic in this thread.

Wow what a jerk! Hey, did you know that there is such a thing as gluten intolerance? That is not the same as a gluten allergy. Gluten intolerance, if not addressed, can in the long term lead to a variety of health issues. I know this because I've seen it happen to my mom. She went to doctors for over a decade…

I'm with you. And furthermore, I don't think there's anything strange or wrong about that. Part of the awesomeness of it is that while, yes, in real life, people should not be brutally slaughtered for being assholes in high school, when one has been in the position of being mercilessly victimized, it is kind of what…

I have had people tell me the same thing. One was a girl who was very clearly trying to be passive-aggressive. The others insisted that they meant it as a compliment. I've never watched the show, just read a lot about it (what with the incessant coverage here and elsewhere), and from what I've read, I don't think…

Haha I was a terrible liar when I was a kid but also had no impulse control and a poor grasp of why things were "bad" if it didn't "really" hurt anyone... used to love drawing on the walls with crayons (not easy to get off textured walls), and when I got in trouble for writing "[MY NAME] is great!!" for the umpteenth…

To all those who are saying "oh, it's hard for everybody, saying that you just aren't the type is just a lame excuse!" I think you're full of it. I am one of those people who just don't really enjoy exercising - do I enjoy certain activities that can sometimes be physically active? Yes. I like boating and swimming.…

The only sensory crossover I have is a relation between music tones and my right/left sides. It's mostly centered around my hips/legs/feet, but sometimes it happens in my sides and arms as well. My right side is a louder, brighter, higher note, my left side is a quieter, softer, lower note. When I was younger it used…

Haha spot on. I also do the screwy math where I tell myself that since I average about 1/4-1/3 pack a day it means that I am only doing at most like half the damage they talk about in smoking research and thus try to assure myself that I can continue enjoying my Spirits til the end of my lengthy, lengthy life. I also…

Because you aren't the only person that they are serving, and it's almost never worth a server's time to stand by and watch and wait til just the right moment. I mean, think about this for a second. Seriously play out the situation in your head. The waiter can either stand back and literally watch you and wait for…

I have totally reached the point of being happy as myself and as a single woman. What I need is some advice on how to get guys to stop assuming that means I must want to date them. Seriously, yeah, the advice sounds condescending when you are actually lonely, but it's pretty true for most people... and since I…

Agreed. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the lack of empathy she describes as if it were some sort of natural pre-parenthood state is in fact just a pretty typical selfish lack of awareness outside of oneself. I don't have children, I've never been responsible for the life and well-being of another living…

Oh, THIS LADY AGAIN. Didn't we decide already that she is terrible at giving advice?
