I made a LOT more money when I lived in NY, and worked from 7:30am till 11pm most days... so I wasn’t spending money on very much else. It worked for the time being... when I left the high paying, life-destroying job, the ability to afford such a luxury went with it.

Now I live in the midwest, and my grocery bill for…

Fairly healthy. Not fairy healthy. I’m not eating fairies. Wanda and Cosmo are safe.

As a woman I feel like I should be offended but eightmanfayshel made me laugh. I also had to say it out loud for it to make sense.

Holy lord. My family is very transparent. My grandma’s favorite encouraginsult was “You’ll drop the weight when you find a man you really like.” and then telling me to dress better because I wouldn’t attract a guy. (I wore band tshirts and jeans every day then, and pretty much every day now unless board members are…

Couple the relationship comments with ones about being overweight and you’ll wonder how I don’t hate my family.

I hear you. I actually usually eat fairy healthy but am overweight. My problem is that I’m sedentary more than anything else. When I got diagnosed with diabetes, I realized that the structure of my meals were counterproductive to any efforts I made.

Six months ago I would stay too late at work —sometimes 7:30am to 11…

I tried the Fresh diet (meal delivery service, about $40/day, I think it was NYC only) ... and I have to say it was fucking amazing. I would get little coolers with food delivered every two or three days, and the food was amazing. Like, I looked forward to the meals. I was on it around the same time the 30 Rock…

WORD! While I am married, I don’t have kids and likely can’t have my own — so while I’m the first one of the group to get married, I am still a disappointment!

It doesn’t help that when I do see my family, I am preoccupied with playing video games with the kids instead of shacking up and making more.

Right!? I swear, if I had the time and talent, I could write a sitcom.

Oh for sure. I remember thinking I was so cool because mine had been Literati1066 — and I was an English major at the time, but the guys I played with wound up just calling me Cliterati, which was hilarious to them and slightly infuriating to me.

That is hilarious. I have hispanic cousins and one of their gchat names is hilarioffensive.

No, I totally agree lol ... It’s why I don’t explain my name whenever I show up in a new discussion. :P

Ha. The only time a name got changed on me was actually through facebook. When they first released “usernames” — I selected “Caprica” and like 6 months or so later, I was booted out of having it because the Battlestar Galactica spinoff show got the page. I was a very, very pissed off nerd.

I think my favorite is “The Enya Word” which was a friend’s dummy account so we could couch co-op for something.

My husband says: “ObiWanFoShoB”. And in his infinite whiteness, he goes. “You know. Like, For show, B.”

Wow, no spice, but ass is a no-no.

I didn’t leave... and Stannis is advised by Melisandre (The Red Woman) and he has frequently shown himself to be a bit of a grammar nazi — so I thought this username was funny.

They very obviously felt like making love.

(If you don’t think a Bad Company reference was funny — I may be insulted forever)

High five in solidarity!

I remember someone on XboxLive getting banned for having the username PoundHerStank, which is gross combined, but each word individually isn’t technically profanity.

Mind you, my husband has a friend with a login that is “(some verb) YourAss”.

And this just makes me think of been 14 or 15 and trolling the local…

I got married in October of last year, at 29. From 16... yes, 16 until I got engaged at 28, my relatives gave me shit. I rarely brought boyfriends home and didn’t discuss my relationships because I’m a relatively private person and am the black sheep of my very loud, very Italian family where everyone knows everything…
