It's important to be ready, but it's also important to recognize if you will never be ready because you are making excuses. I tend to make a lot of excuses, especially of the I'm-so-busy-right-now variety (when will I ever NOT be busy?) or I'll start dating when I get in better shape or whatever. So now I'm trying to…

I love both cake and yeast donuts. Don't make me choose.

At least he's been less bearded in recent photos and that makes me happy. For a while there he had a scary amount of beard going on. Regardless, I'm glad that you enjoy bearded Tom Hardy and that he is not going to waste. Probably in the beginning of the movie he won't be so bearded…right? Ha I just went to his imdb…

You are probably right about the beards, and that makes me sad.

This newswire isn't even about Tom Hardy, but I'm glad that O'Neal gave us an excuse to talk about him. I only wish he would have provided us with a picture, but at least he gave us a link to the old one, which I will now go follow and then spend too much time there and wonder why my productivity is so poor.

I have so many games on Steam that I need to play. I buy a ton of them during the sales and then never get around to them. Maybe someday, Skyrim, when I have 80 hours to spare for you.

I love that you referred to yourself as mama bear. I think his neck is huge but he's a big manly man and so that kinda goes with the territory and I'm certainly not going to complain. [starts looking at pictures of Chris Hemsworth on the internet, loses track of time] fuck, I need to go home, what am I still doing at…

I missed that earlier newswire today, I need a hot guy thread notification. Sorry your day was terrible Jimmy, mine has been very stressful too. I don't have strong feelings about Chris Evans or his ass, so I think I might not be very helpful in this discussion. But I will throw this out there: I would have sex with…

Loved that picture, they really couldn't have picked a better photo for us to look at all summer. I really appreciated it.

Scrawler I'm sure your husband is wonderful and very cute and doesn't look like Scott Baio.

Maybe I've just never had good bourbon but I don't get why people are so in love with it. You can have it all. We can share the brandy.

I love that juniper soda. The store I bought it from doesn't carry it anymore, and it makes me very sad.

That slaw sounds kickass!

Love cauliflower steaks! I forgot about that…damn I already cut up the head of cauliflower I bought :(

I love pine nuts, but since they are ridiculously expensive, I never eat them. Oh and I hate pesto (because I hate basil). I like to put pine nuts on pizza.

Scrawler this is another thing that we have opposite feelings about — I really like gin. You can just pass all that gin you don't want my way.

I'm also a size 2 long and it's crazy. I mean yes I'm on the thin side but what do all the truly small people do? wear kids clothes?

Scrawler how would you feel about sharing your husband with those of us who are less fortunate?

My mom always sends me candy for Valentine's Day, but she goes cheap and sends me candy that she got on clearance from the previous holiday. What I'm saying is that I'm going to get some Godiva Christmas chocolates for Valentines Day (and I get Valentines Day chocolate for Easter).

Target is the worst at sizes. I can barely squeeze myself into their large t-shirts, and the sleeves are too tiny and then the whole thing shrinks and looks horrible. I try on the pants and it's loose at the waist but tight as hell in the thighs. Ughhh I need new pants.
