Thanks. I find myself talking about the EDNOS thing way more openly now. I still feel weird with folks IRL, due to not being *skinny*. I feel like they look at me and go "no way, too fat for an ED!"

Yeah. I had my numbers, too. 129 was mine for a long time. 125 was awesome (I rarely hit it), 127 was my usual. 129 was the last acceptable one. I didn't want to hit 130. Now I'm a bit less disordered but I still have my number. Now, 139 is acceptable. I go into the 140s and I cry. This is why I don't weigh myself.…

My brain is a lot like yours. I feel gross and icky even though, logically, I know I am not and am probably considered fit/slim by most folks' standards ... Until I see photos taken at races. Race photos make me feel like SHIT - mostly because I felt like a gazelle while running, did a great job, ran fast and well and…

For anyone who wondered how the kitty art went over: I got a squeal so high pitched I think bats had trouble picking it up. Haha. She immediately ran around, showing them off to everyone at the wedding! Her hubby was like "oh yeah, we are soooo displaying these!" They were super jazzed and the wedding party (most of…

Or, you know, some people don't like being called the WORST MORAL CRIMINALS. Honestly, are you for real? You really don't understand why people are upset with your post? It's all them just shutting down your "differing view", huh? All those intolerant closed minded folks are just trying to silence you? Not at all…

I cannot BELIEVE what was said to you. Just... staggering.

This sounds an AWFUL lot like the Anti-Choicers line about "if you don't want kids, keep your legs shut". Emphasis on AWFUL is intentional.

Oh man, you have my sympathies and also congratulations. It's both so heartwarming and such a kick to the teeth to have one find a amazing home (not with you). If I wasn't at the city limit of three cats (and if I didn't have 7 rescue rats AND a rescued quail, LOL) I'd be sorely tempted to "foster" more cats. And by…

Man, ya'll so gave me warm fuzzies all day. :D I will sent Internets love to them and their kiddos. Such cute cats. :D Thanks!

Oh maaaaaan. I had my tubes tied and fried at 27 and was hoping for that fertility nosedive at 35 as a backup plan. Just in case my stupid body went rogue on me and was like "f you, weeona, I healed myself and now you are pregnant." Guess I'm back to thinking the SO will have to get snipped when/if we get hitched.…

Fantastic! It's like the boxer brief of swimwear. And I looove me some boxer brief wearing dudes. I totally transitioned the pseudo-spouse to BB and he's now a convert. *fistpump*

Thanks so much for you kind response.

I actually bought these nifty little watercolor blocks! They are watercolor paper but solid wood backed, so they can be sealed and mounted without a frame or glass. Super cool. They are pretty small and an oddish size (6x6) so I was planning on just sealing them and letting them decide if they wanted to hang them up…

Aw, thanks. You guys are all making me feel so much better! And sort of bashful now. LOL. I hope they like them as much as it seems ya'll would. :D

Thanks! This makes me feel better. I'm such an awkward nerd that half the time I'm going "oh geez, is this dumb? I'd like it... but I'm sort of strange."

LOL. That's very sweet of you! I've had good luck with giving cat moms and dads pictures of their kids as gifts. My best buddy openly wept when I gave her a pair of pics of her awesome orange tabby boyos for Giftmas one year. :)

D: Oh god. I'm going to a friend's wedding this weekend and I already feel a bit awkward 'cause I made their gifts. I'm an artist and painted two little watercolors of their much beloved feline kids. Deep down I know my friends are AWESOME and they loooove those cats so much that it is a great gift but I also feel…

Haha! I wondered if that was you and couldn't recall. My memory is terrible! Hello again. LOL.

Oh god, have you seen him in "Earth Girls Are Easy?"

Well, at least they are cholesterol free! Haha.
