Nope, a fcuking wardrobe dehumidifier.

That made me laugh:D:D. Sorry [not sorry]

Finishing a show you loved on Netflix and now you feel a void in your life

Antares35 · 02-10-2020 12:36am

Always fancied a gun dog so I trained mine to catch the cork as it pops (we drink too much prosecco). So it's great and cute, she gets all tense and does her high pitched hunting baying thing when you're opening a bottle then pounces on the cork. Which is fine except when you're trying to have a sneaky merlot after everyone's gone to bed and she thinks it's the hunt. Had to open the last one hiding in the bathroom. I can literally have no vice, she outs me every time. Should rent her to an AA group.

As if this WFH wasn't Groundhoggy enough, they are now playing "I Got You Babe" on the radio.

cj maxx · 02-10-2020 9:53am

Had plans for today. Nothing great, just to do a few bits and bobs. School is off today

Teacher training. Is that not what college is for.

New Home · 02-10-2020 9:54am

Oh Ted, that DID make me laugh! In fact, thanks for the suggestion, that's what I'll watch now - I'm off today and I was supposed to go and get a few bits, but the weather is miserable and there were 13°C in my hallway this morning AFTER the heating had been on for half an hour and I've no energy, so I'll make myself breakfast in bed and watch Groundhog Day.

TA bought yogurts I thought were raspberry flavour but they're cherry. I hate cherryðŸ’

I'm exercising more, eating less but I'm still not losing weight :mad:

Really need to shift 2 and half stone but it's just not happening, if anything I'm gaining more weight. Looks like the fat gene that runs in women on both sides of my family has hit me before I hit my thirties.

Mrs Beer going on about British politics.
Boris, Priti, Gove, Cummins, refugees, brexit.
I finally snapped and told her I wasn't interested and it's boring. Now she's hurt and I feel bad.

Up until a couple of years ago she had zero interest in British politics. I liked it that way.

Honestly, most people's political views bore the pants off me. Unfortunately, my lovely wife is no exception

Like the vast majority of people, my political views are, really, of little interest to the vast majority of people. They are neither creative or unusual.

It’s not because of genetics, you’re still eating too much. Maybe that sounds harsh but it’s the truth.

If you’re not getting any professional help in this matter you should consider it.

New Home · 02-10-2020 12:36pm

Or maybe if she's exercising the weight isn't dropping because muscle is replacing fat tissue, and muscle weighs more than fat.

It's just ridiculous to say that genetics play no part in body shape.

Give it time

I would recommend measuring and not step up on the weighing scales as much. As already mentioned muscle weighs more than fat. I find I don't lose a lot of weight on the scales, but will gradually notice a difference in how my clothes fit. I have the same genetic disposition and have been putting in a big effort since May to get fitter, getting there slowly

TA I can't decide what to have for lunch

People aren’t overweight because of their genetics, it’s because they eat too much.

They might have increased appetites due to genetics but gaining weight only comes from overeating. Nothing else.

AdrianBalboa take a week off this thread, how many times do we have to go through this about discussing other people's TAs.

Not trivial but a pain in the **** - my elderly dad has just tested positive for COVID-19.

He’s largely asymptomatic but it’s a worry.

Thanks for that Eskie.

I think my issue is that I was always super skinny but now I have a massive belly on me (with very skinny legs and arms) so you can imagine what I look like. When my mom passed away 5 years ago I went mad on the comfort eating and my weight was creeping up slowly but I brushed it off as something I can easily rectify the following year.

Maybe I'm being overreacting with wanting to lose 2 and half stone as that will take me to 8 stone. We'll see, I really like the approach of one of class instructors in the gym I signed up to, so I might ask her about PT so I can get some help on really targeting my stomach.

I've been watching Hannibal for MONTHS (I don't watch much TV so it takes me an age to get through anything). Was down to the last two episodes, finished work at a reasonable hour on Wednesday and the dog was gone to my sister for the week so I had no evening walks to do, had the dinner made so ate nice and early (for me!), went up and had a lovely bath, got into clean pyjamas, came downstairs, lit my candles, settled into the couch, switched on Netflix and.... gonzo. Had completely forgotten that it was only available until September 29th.

Gutted.

Robsweezie · 02-10-2020 3:10pm

TA some reactions to chrissy teigen losing her baby with john legend. some think its inappropriate and attention seeking for them to be going so public with their news.

if i were in their situation, just lost a child and sharing the news as they did, and someone came up to me in the street and told me something like what im seeing on social media in response to their grief, i would simply not be held responsible for what i would inflict on that person.

regardless of your view of the couple themselves, they are perfectly entitled to grieve as they see fit and hopefully help others process it all through sharing their grief.

Bredabe · 02-10-2020 3:22pm

Making the effort to get to know my new class, I waiting until the online teaching had ended and asked one of the mature men if he was local. He said he was and then said he wasnt, followed by him making a fuss about not being able to see me(as my camera had been dodge all day) but other ppl could and did responded to me.

Ta that men think that kind of rudeness is considered funny still.
*I know I should be thankful that he has shown himself to be a bolli* now, but it still annoys me.

Oh go for the PT if you can

if there was one local to me I'd be going, but have an online programme that suits me just grand.
I was similar, very slim until around my mid twenties. I suppose I had assumed I could eat what I wanted and not have to work to keep my figure, so my weight crept up slowly.
I have an overall weight loss goal too, but am taking it in stages. I worked on improving my eating habits, doing 10k+ steps a day, while also doing 4 to 5 HIIT sessions a week. I'm at home so I have the time to make a big effort. Trying to stick to a calorie deficit diet and stay motivated is very tough, but once I started seeing results I was so delighted and it kept me going. I'm still so happy that I can wear my jeans again and not have to suck everything in :pac:
There's a weight loss motivation thread in the Christmas forum if you ever want to pop by for some support or share some inspiration

TA I had an appointment for before 4pm and I'm still waiting in the car

Natalia Tena. She's been supremely annoying in everything she's ever been in. She just plays the same character every time, which is quite the feat when you've been in Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and the Mandalorian.

I recorded a storyville documentary film from bbc 4. I didn’t watch it till I’d have some peace and quiet to watch it . Went to watch it only to find out it was automatically deleted after X days

And it’s unavailable on planner . Arrgh

Flatmates decided on a drinking game called Truth or Lie. Which means if you guess wrong you take a shot. Female flatmate has the hots for the other male flatmate, She asks him a very specific question, and his answer does not set well with her. So now there is all this tension in the air. My TA is too much drama.

Linkedin.

I move jobs frequently enough, and used it a lot over the last 10 years to great success. However, it has turned into facebook and is now just full of sh1te. Nothing but:

Humblebrags
Endless recruiter circle-jerking and sharing
"Commenting for better reach"
Virtue signalling corporate/manager posts
"Do you know the thing with the other thing that is annoying? Why is that?" - 25k likes
"Here's a video/paper/article on something I know very little about. Please share"
