Sorry you have to go through this...*hugs*

I've been here. I'm so sorry this is happening. Is there family you can fall back on? Praying for you.

Thanks ladies.

As far as family goes, my mom is almost 2 hours away. While we could stay with her for a little bit, if we were to get jobs, we could never do that commute every day.

We are speaking with the bank tomorrow and I'm calling around different apartment complexes to see if they will rent to us if we both are just on unemployment.

I know things will work out. I know they will. I just need them to speed it up a little bit.

It will get better. When you feel you have hit rock bottom, the only way you can go is up. :)

All the above responses are why I keep coming back to this Forum. I count all of you here as dear friends, and as Calauria said, some of you are closer to me than my friends that see me on a daily basis. :)

Just dropping by to give you all an update on my MIL. She isn't doing too well in therapy. They've done all they can for her and will be releasing her on Monday. She will be in a wheelchair for the remainder of her life. The Parkinson's is doing this to her. She doesn't eat enough to sustain repairs or strength to her body. It is affecting her state of mind as well, she is losing grip on where she is and when it is. Her husband and my Mark have been with her round the clock (Mark sits in for his Dad in the afternoon, and all afternoon on Sundays). Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you for your prayers and concerns.

Oh that makes me sad. I hate to say it, but at this point maybe all you can do is just try to make her comfortable and just support each other as best you can. Big hugs to you and your family.

:doh: anyway sorry guys, il stop dominating this thread.

Don't be silly! :) We're always here for each other!

I guess I still don't understand why cutting out the people that treat me poorly still leaves me the lonely one.

Oh boy, do I understand....... Hugs to you!

I used to have a ton of friends. I always had somebody to talk to, go out with, bitch about etc. But most of those people were poison and I got rid of them. Now I quite literally have 7 really close friends, one of whom is my 5 year old niece :p I had to learn to spend a lot of time alone - and you know in all that time alone, just being me, i figured out that I didn't miss them. Learn to love your own company krismiss, you will never have a better friend than the friend you can be to yourself. There's a real peace in being able to spend a week just with you and come out of it feeling refreshed and happy and rejuvenated. I'm in the process of planning a 5 day trip into the mountains on my own and I'm going to take walks and stare at the sky and swim and dream all by myself. Just give it a chance - you'll find that you aren't all that lonely after all *big hugz*

I approve this post! :bow:

Turns out it's the altinator I replaced last may. The parts are under warranty, but I have to pay the labour.

I hope it won't cost too much.

I'm really ready to stop worrying about where we are going to live when we can't pay our mortgage next month..or where our next meal is going to come from...

I just want to crawl into bed and go to sleep. I'm so exhausted from all this crap..it needs to go away.

(((HUGS))) sweetie. I hope you two catch a break soon.

IC that I had a particularly long, rough day/evening for a lot of reasons, and I was really looking forward to coming home after teaching my night class and relaxing for a while...but when I opened the door to my apartment and it was filled with a weird musty smell.

I then discover that my hot water heater had exploded earlier in the day and my kitchen was full of hot water covering the floor with like a 1/2" of water, the floor was beginning to buckle, and everything in the storage space under the hot water heater was soaked. I've spent the last hour sweeping and mopping up the water out of the kitchen and taking stuff out of the storage cabinet to dry out.

Maybe I should go to sleep before something else happens...sigh.

ICT I support everyone who I feel needs me, and it makes me happy to do so, very privileged, in fact, to be someone people I adore confide in... I sincerely don't expect anything in return, but I'm not a robot, either. I get annoyed when many of those same people who routinely complain or are stressed out don't respond when I need encouragement or just a one-syllable note the rare times I complain about something aloud. I am not a vending machine and your self-absorbed behavior sometimes bothers me.

IC that my usual studious self could not be more burned out on school if she tried.

I need to get away from this campus, this town. Has it been great to me? Absolutely. Am I tired of looking at the same four walls? Ditto.

How did it work out though - did you manage to get it all cleaned up. Big hugs chick - that is just suckitude on another level.

I confess that today, right this minute, I am so fucking tired of taking care of myself and of other people. I want to be smothered in love and money. I want my every care and concern seen to by other people, preferably goodlooking and male. I don't want to have to think about how to fix things or screw stuff in or pay for things. I just want it to be somebody else's problem and not mine. I want to hand my life over and just drift - secure in the knowledge that I'm being steered towards happiness - even if it isn't completely of my own making. I know its not PC, or clever or brave - but I'm just so tired right now and I want life to WORK DAMMIT!!!

This I can relate to very much. Find a way to destress and relax and don't be afraid to tell people you just don't have time for their stress right now, or when they do come to you just tell them you think they should do what they want to do.

IC that like Tau and Devi, I so often want to just wave a magic wand or step into a doorway to another world and start over. Don't you just wish there was a huge universal "re-do" button that you could hit at least once in your lifetime when you know you've made some huge mistakes that can never be erased? I'm there right now, I know it is depression and hormones messing with my mind, but dang it all, it is still there! All I can say is Ladies, I do so understand and if you ever find that button or doorway - take me along or send it my way!

IC that I hate my legs. They're so ugly. My cat decided to pee on the bathroom floor and I slipped and fell somehow straight down on my left knee. At 425 lbs you can imagine that wasn't an easy fall. My knee actually doesn't hurt that bad because all the fat protected it, but it busted a MILLION blood vessels. It is swollen and zig zagged with veins and vessels and I feel so ugly. :mad:

The worst part about the fall was laying on my back in cat urine and having to wriggle through it to get out of the doorway.

IC that I feel completley invisible sometimes. Sometimes it's nice. Sometimes it's not.

I remember this feeling - it sucks big time. Hope it ends soon - you need to become visible to yourself. I don't want to go all mumbo jumboey on you but if you can see yourself for who and what you are, and not love everything but love the majority of you, even the grotty bits, then you won't feel invisible anymore. The first time I ever felt invisible was in university. All my childhood I was pretty much the centre of attention everywhere - or in my head LOL - and when I got to uni I was alone and unloved for the first time and I felt like I could stab myself in the eye and bleed to death on the side of the road and nobody would notice. So I took a step back, spent an enormouse amount of time with me not being the centre of attention and performing for the whole world, and came out the other end feeling amazing *hugz*

I confess to feeling a fairly intense bout of jealousy. We had a guy in our offices like 15 minutes ago doing a presentation. He's twenty fucking five and owns and runs and intensly successful youth research and marketing business with a client base that made me fucking drool. Whilst I feel like a grandma, I turn 28 this year and I'm STILL struggling to get my business to take off like I know it can. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

IC that like Tau and Devi, I so often want to just wave a magic wand or step into a doorway to another world and start over. Don't you just wish there was a huge universal "re-do" button that you could hit at least once in your lifetime when you know you've made some huge mistakes that can never be erased? I'm there right now, I know it is depression and hormones messing with my mind, but dang it all, it is still there! All I can say is Ladies, I do so understand and if you ever find that button or doorway - take me along or send it my way!

I actually might hesitate to hit the re-do button cause what if it changes things around so much that while you got something right, something else important went wrong, then you'd have to re-do that...what if it put me in an endless re-do loop where I'm spending all my time trying to fix the past rather than being in the present or looking to the future...that seems kinda scary to me. There are a couple things I wish had gone differently, but I learned from all those mistakes. I wouldn't want to loose that knowledge. Basically I'd be afraid that changing something in the past could cause something worse to happen in the future...guess that would make me a pessimist...

And, me saying no doesn't matter they will try to even trick me into getting what they want from me. I know that other women go through this same thing...but the thing is is that I don't have supportive people, people that I'm close to, people who love me for me in my life, so I have to deal with all this stress and bad days...etc..etc... all by myself....It's not easy....I don't know how much more I can take...I'm trying my hardest to be strong..but.......

IC that I hate my legs. They're so ugly. My cat decided to pee on the bathroom floor and I slipped and fell somehow straight down on my left knee. At 425 lbs you can imagine that wasn't an easy fall. My knee actually doesn't hurt that bad because all the fat protected it, but it busted a MILLION blood vessels. It is swollen and zig zagged with veins and vessels and I feel so ugly. :mad:

The worst part about the fall was laying on my back in cat urine and having to wriggle through it to get out of the doorway.

*hugs* hope your knee gets better soon.

I hate guys like that too. What pisses me off more is that they honestly think we are stupid enough to fall for their ridiculous bullshit. It's almost like they don't think fat girls are worth the effort to even use worthwhile tricks. That is just plain boring. Don't stress over guys like that. They aren't worth the effort. You can always come here and vent and get some virtual hugs. :)

Thanks, dear!! I think I'm just gonna put dating on the back burning for a long while, stressing me out too much. It always has. I'm just gonna do my thing and enjoy my life. Does a person really have to have an active dating life to enjoy life to be considered healthy do they?? Even if dating stresses a person out??

I just think life is showing me that being in the dating game is more trouble than it's worth and maybe it is just not for me.

Big, big hugz chick - thinking of you cos this isnt easy :( I'm in the same boat with regards to the booty call characters. All I can say is that my vagina has been on lockdown for a while now just cos all the casual stuff was getting unhealthy.

IC that I am really super proud of myself right now. There was a guy who I was dating casually for a while but it never went further and when I realized it wasn't gonna go further it was kinda depressing. I had fallen pretty hard for him so that hurt bad. It took me a long time to get over him because I knew I didn't want to lose him as a friend, but I also knew - despite how I felt for him - that we just don't work as a couple. So, I (selfishly) took a 9 month hiatus from he and I seeing each other, just stopped all contact, but we recently became friends again and we're having a great time being just friends, which a couple of years ago I NEVER would have thought was possible. I truly can't even picture myself kissing this dude anymore, which is great! So, the proud of myself moment is I know a girl who I met on MySpace a few yrs ago and we hadn't talked in a while but I saw her a couple of weeks ago on my friends Facebook and I thought Hmmm.. she and My Guy Friend would be a pretty great match.. and without hesitation I emailed them both to set it up. Like, it doesn't even bother me that someone I cared pretty deeply for would be dating someone that I picked out. It feels really really good to be over him, to be so selfless haha, and to possibly be making two people really happy if it does work out (which I really think it would!)

Olwen - yup, the "re-do" button is probably a bad idea. However, the stepping into another world and starting over fresh (with the idea that you keep all lessons learned up to that point), might just be the better choice for me. Of course, that is not gonna happen (unless you all know something I don't), so I'm learning to deal with the life I've been given. Sigh!

My boyfriend never got his biscuit I handed him his sammich...with a bite out of it. I was so hungry I ate mine, both biscuits and a bite out of his. That is the first stereotypical fat girl thing I've ever done. I felt like Dom Deloise in Fatso when he went to get food and ate it all. My boyfriend laughed when I showed him his sammich. I never told him about the biscuit.

Sometimes if the dr writes a letter to the insurance company saying that such and such is medically necessary, they'll cover it. He might be willing to do that for you regarding the TENS unit.

Just dropping in for a bit to let you all know that my MIL is going home tomorrow! She had a 2 week stay at the local nursing home and I guess that was enough for her and she really got with it in eating and doing therapy. She is able to walk a little with a walker and will be able to do things for herself. I was amazed to hear the news because I thought she had given up on trying.
Thank you all for your good thoughts.

She is able to walk a little with a walker and will be able to do things for herself. I was amazed to hear the news because I thought she had given up on trying.
Thank you all for your good thoughts.

I also confess that I miss this place! Hugs to all of you!

Congratulations to your MIL! That's great! Do you think she'll continue to do well at home? (((Hugs))) to you too!

Umm...You may be able to get a good Tens Unit at a pawn shop...or if you know anyone into BDSM...ask them if they know where to get a good, inexpensive one.

Don't ask me how I know..LOL Just trust :blush:

And that person may be able to tell you of all the fun and interesting attachments that can be used with the Tens Unit as well. It's amazing the minds of perverts...lol.

I confess I'm worried about seeing my aunt and uncle again despite my excitement. It's been over 25 years since we've seen each other and I've accumulated about 120 lbs since then. My aunt has never been mean about weight but she has been a chronic dieter and I hate disappointing her on any level, even as I've become self-accepting. Been trying to bolster myself up mentally but it's been nagging at me with greater frequency the closer I get to leaving.

On top of that I'm also a little nervous about squashing into the buses for the round trip through Canada but, hey, it'll still be great to see more of the country. :)

I was sitting at the laptop (screen facing a wall away from family) and I chuckled at myself being all over-achieve-y in the bath and body works thread (http://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71822).

Mom: What are you laughing at?
Kris:Oh, i'm just a geek.
Mom: Why? What are you doing?
Kris: There's a thread on a forum i post on about bath and body works and I'm way too excited about it.
Mom: What kind of forum? What are you doing?
Kris: It's one of the fat people forums mom, it's all good. No biggie.
Mom: Why would you talk about bath and body works on there?
Kris: It's just part of the forums that's about anything you want, just without a fat stigma attached.
*At this point, she looks at little confused*
Mom: Oh, ok... well then... I am fat, and I like white citrus. You can tell them.

It was cute :p she, FOR ONCE, did not get weird about "the fat people stuff" and was pretty chill about it :D

And just so you all know... my mom is fat... and likes white citrus.

I think I should simply have said: Wow. That's very intolerant. And I should've left it there. It's not antagonistic, it's not a 'You' statement ('you shouldn't say that' 'you are wrong' whatever) so it's less personal/aggressive. And it doesn't disrupt the flow of the conversation, as there were 2 other people with us, talking about giving gifts. Next time. Next time. I'm not usually speechless. :)

I don't want to be skinny or anything, but I would like to take off this 20 lbs of anger and disappointment that I gained in the last 6 months.

I confess to also buying a really cute new red shirt, comfy black athletic capris and new panties! I still like to look good. :p

I know you look beautiful at any size, but if you want to lose some weight, a good way to let loose of stress is by being active, like taking a walk (you know, I don't need to explain lol). It helps me out a lot.

IC I can be overly trusting, I forgive easily, and I don't hold grudges-I know those are all very good things and I don't want to stop being that way-but at some point I have to stop sharing my trust and good, bad, and ugly of who I am with someone who violates that trust and twists my weaknesses against me for their own gain. I guess today is that day. IC doing the right thing isn't always easy. I am going to miss him, especially all the laughter we share. UGH what at depressing post.

IC that men suck. I should just be a lesbian because the amount of guys that have let me down is sickening.... :(

I totally relate to that at times, in terms of feeling like my female friends are able to be there for me in ways that guys in my life usually can't be (tho I do have a couple stellar guy friends who consistently rock hard). But then guys in my life sometimes pull through in different ways. I dunno.

I agree with Weeze that the lesbian angle is not a good way to express it tho, so I'm glad she said something. Still, I get the sentiment behind it, and I'm truly sorry you've been let down. Hang in there, chica.

Well, if you have read previous posts of mine, not saying you did, have to, or ever will, but I do consider myself bisexual, have had female partners, etc. So before you decide what's being demeaning, you should probably do your research. Just saying.

I confess that I have a problem with intimacy [whether it is kissing or having a deep conversation with someone].

I confess that I have trouble making friends and being in crowds.

I confess that I think that I am unworthy of being loved.

And I confess that I really blame my mother for a lot of the reasons behind these feelings.

I also have to confess that I love these boards for giving me the power to say such things and not have to worry about being judged, because I confess that I feel like I am being judged everyday in my life and that even though I love myself, I confess that I think people are thinking the worst of me.

Alot of people have emotional resevation to there own self worth, I know because I have experinced those same concerns and issues in my life at one time or another. Just remember that life does continue and that you are a pretty awesome person (I know I don't know you, but I think everyone kinda kicks ass in someway) and things always get better. And don't worry about the virgin thing, it's about the quality of the partners not the quanity!

IC that here lately I feel really ugly and fat (not in a good way) and inferior. Please don't think I'm saying this to get compliments or sympathy, because I'm not. I just not sure what's going on with me lately, and it's not a good feeling.

We all have these days. I'm speculating here, but I think a lot of fat girls feel this way at least every now and then.

It's unpleasant and I wish it didn't happen, but it does. :( I'm sorry. Just know that you ARE beautiful. (I know you said you weren't asking for compliments, but I wanted to throw that in there. :))

IC that I just got a serious hard-sell on starring in porn. I LMAO as he tried to get me to put my husband on the phone. Spouse tells the guy I'll do it as long as I don't have sex with anyone but Spouse. Guy LOL and pisses off Spouse. I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. Checked out guy on internet--he's serious and offered me 70K, plus all expenses and private jet travel. I still tell him bye-bye.

Then he IM's me and gives me his phone# and yahoo messenger. Tells me I'm shy. No, I just have self-esteem. My best friend (a BBW too) who's hanging out with me is losing her freaking mind. I say to her NOW DO YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT???

Ugh, that is such a crappy feeling! What a thing to be reminded of, Ruffie! Hope that didn't put too big a damper on the evening overall.

I spent my 20s working hard to avoid being in that scenario. But then - I went last night to a size acceptance night club in my area, and it was fun to see beautiful, sexily dressed fat women getting the attention they deserve. :)

This reminds me of the fun I used to have on my wife's myspace account. The guys constantly hit on her, two or three a day. This one guy just would not take the hint, she kept telling she was married for days but he said he didn't care. Finally I sat down and replied " my husband says you're pretty cute, he said he might be interested in a three way if you don't mind taking it in the butt." We never heard from him again.

but it can be hard I remember feeling quite self conscious as an early teen cause a boy copied how I was dancing with my cousin (who is mentally handicapped) and then he hit on me and I erm :blush::blush::blush: elbowed him in the stomach, for some reason I had it in my head even at that age that I was unattractive to boys and he was doing it for a dare or some such, might have been cause I saw his friends pointing and laughing or some such but yeah that kind of turned me off dancing in public

Oh I had a great time and the guys in the band were a little too close to the mike when they said to each other wow can tell Ruthy is here(i have a very loud and boisterous laugh). I had a great time and am married so don't need the drinks from guys with an agenda. I was out with some of my favourite people in the world, listening to good music, munching out, joking and laughing and having a few drinks. It just made me think back to the old days before I was confident and had an attitude, seeing the other big gals being ignored and the "bar stars" reaping the benefits ya know? I had my little green eyed moment and moved on LOL!

That I went out with one of my girl "friends" and she left me at the bar to go with some random guy because she was too drunk to drive us home!

I had to go home with random strangers [who were super nice by the way] and wait for my brother to pick me up!

I am never going out with that girl again . . . I also really love my brother for putting up with all of my crazy drunkeness. Next time, I think I will stick to like a three drink minimum.

I used to think that I had low self esteem when it came to guys . . . but she totally takes the cake! I would never leave a friend just for some random hook up, that is just trashy.

ROFLMAO! I have done the same thing a number of times. And never heard from any of them again.

But yeah, I get guys hit on me online all the time. Usually I just ignore them because "not interested" isn't good enough. They want to know why. I say because I'm already in a relationship. They say I can be your man on the side. I say it's a committed relationship. They say so what, he doesn't have to know about it. And that just makes me feel yucky and wonder what the hell is wrong with people.

Thanks, ladies. You rock. :) If he doesn't contact me this week, I'll mention it in class next week. (Or should I send a casual follow up in a couple days?) It was so funny, because I was talking to a friend who said I should ask him out for coffee, since he definitely engages with me and my ideas a lot during class, but I really wanted HIM to ask me.
But then there was a part of me that thought, "You know, that just doesn't happen to fat girls like me. Only the thin, pretty girls have guys they like in real life take an interest in them. Girls like me have to put in all the effort if they want to be with a guy - because the guys won't think it's worth expending the effort." I realize it's totally false in my head, but sometimes I still believe that down in my gut, you know?
So this turn of events was kind of shocking to me. In a good way.

Okay. Never mind. Forget everything. I just logged into our school's system to get his email, and saw on his profile that he is "recently engaged."

I feel your disappointment but maybe you could look at it as practice for when more available ones come along. I've experienced that myself...madly in love with a pharmacist who actually did lead me on then after I wrote an embarrassingly heartfelt letter, told me he was engaged to be married in three months.....oh the pain...I felt so foolish...but then I came to see that he just removed himself from the the pool of available men and I was better off. I don't even regret the letter. My feelings were valid, just misdirected.

If you need to bring it up, I'd say do it in person though honestly I'm pretty dumb with things like that. Your gut will adjust, this is how life should work.

It does happen to pretty fat girls just like you, every day ;)

Hello ladies!

Just dropping in for a bit to let you all know that my MIL is going home tomorrow! She had a 2 week stay at the local nursing home and I guess that was enough for her and she really got with it in eating and doing therapy. She is able to walk a little with a walker and will be able to do things for herself. I was amazed to hear the news because I thought she had given up on trying.
Thank you all for your good thoughts.

I also confess that I miss this place! Hugs to all of you!

I'm so glad she's doing well! I hope she continues to improve!

I confess I'm worried about seeing my aunt and uncle again despite my excitement. It's been over 25 years since we've seen each other and I've accumulated about 120 lbs since then. My aunt has never been mean about weight but she has been a chronic dieter and I hate disappointing her on any level, even as I've become self-accepting. Been trying to bolster myself up mentally but it's been nagging at me with greater frequency the closer I get to leaving.

On top of that I'm also a little nervous about squashing into the buses for the round trip through Canada but, hey, it'll still be great to see more of the country. :)

I always feel the same way when I see my family. In some ways, I'm glad we're all so far apart since there are so many fat-phobic members of my extended family. When I was a teen, one even joked saying I should become bulimic. I found out later that one of her slender daughters was bulimic.

[F]I confess that I feel ugly sometimes.

I confess that I am a virgin and I am not sure if I will ever be able to change that.

I confess that I have a problem with intimacy [whether it is kissing or having a deep conversation with someone].

I confess that I have trouble making friends and being in crowds.

I confess that I think that I am unworthy of being loved.

And I confess that I really blame my mother for a lot of the reasons behind these feelings.

I also have to confess that I love these boards for giving me the power to say such things and not have to worry about being judged, because I confess that I feel like I am being judged everyday in my life and that even though I love myself, I confess that I think people are thinking the worst of me.

Wooh . . . that was totally a weight off my shoulders, thanks everyone for being brave and showing me that I too can be brave![/FONT]

Hugs and super props to you! :bow:

I am finally employed again..start on Monday. Whew!

Fantastic news Misty! I hope everything is going well at your new job!

IC that here lately I feel really ugly and fat (not in a good way) and inferior. Please don't think I'm saying this to get compliments or sympathy, because I'm not. I just not sure what's going on with me lately, and it's not a good feeling.

Aww sweetie! We've all been through this and completely understand. In fact, I'm going through a looooooooong period right now like that. You're beautiful and vivacious!

I confess that no matter how many compliments i may receive, I'll always feel like i'm not as beautiful as the woman next to me, regardless of her size.

I confess that i've only had one meaningful friendship with a girl, because women, in general, are threatening to me.

phew.

My niece was staying at a friend's house when she contacted me yesterday. She finally got in touch with her Mom and arrangements have been made to get her to a cousin's house in Kansas. I feel much better about her situation now, but it is still is a great concern of mine since I know she has a long road ahead of her before all will be straightened out.

Oh good, I'm glad that part is settled with your niece. Not knowing is so very nerve racking. Yes, she does have a long road ahead, but she's already taken the first couple of steps. And we all those those are the hardest.

I'm so glad to hear things are starting to come into to place for her. I wish her all the best of luck! I'm sure with all your support, everything will come out well in the end. :)

He definitely was flirting, there is definitely chemistry, but clearly it's not going anywhere. The mean voices in my head are definitely saying a lot of, "See! We told you!" Sigh.

I think you can definitely be bummed out and definitely disappointed, but youu shouldn't feel like you're a 'total idiot [your words]." I once wrote a good post about this, but god knows I can't find it now. But my point was: we should never judge ourselves, or our behavior, by someone else's reaction to it. We can't control someone else's actions, we can only control our own. And that you were interested in someone in your circle, and that you (I assume) made yourself available by body language, and chatting, and interacting, and reacting positively to an offer of coffee and conversation, are all good things. You did everything you could do and so, while you didn't get what you hoped for in the end, YOUR behavior was a success. Look, if we judge our behavior based only on the result, we're really not doing ourselves justice. Let's not judge ourselves based on only 1 criterion, especially when that 1 criterion is the only thing we do not control.

This is directed at you, but also everyone. I struggle with this too, but it's good to be reminded that we shouldn't feel stupid if we've tried, but not gotten the hoped-for result.

the end. vagina.

Yesterday, the Boyf schooled me on the correct pronunciation of the word 'forte.' It's indeed 'fort,' not 'for-tay.' DAMNIT.

Yesterday, the Boyf schooled me on the correct pronunciation of the word 'forte.' It's indeed 'fort,' not 'for-tay.' DAMNIT.

Tell the bf to stop being such an intellectual elitist. ;)

Main Entry: Forte
Pronunciation: \ˈfȯrt; 2 is often ˈfȯr-ˌtā or fȯr-ˈtā or ˈfȯr-tē\
Function: noun
Etymology: French fort, from fort, adjective, strong
Date: circa 1648
1 : the part of a sword or foil blade that is between the middle and the hilt and that is the strongest part of the blade
2 : one's strong point

usage: In forte we have a word derived from French that in its “strong point” sense has no entirely satisfactory pronunciation. Usage writers have denigrated \ˈfȯr-ˌtā\ and \ˈfȯr-tē\ because they reflect the influence of the Italian-derived 2forte. Their recommended pronunciation \ˈfȯrt\, however, does not exactly reflect French either: the French would write the word le fort and would rhyme it with English for. So you can take your choice, knowing that someone somewhere will dislike whichever variant you choose. All are standard, however. In British English \ˈfȯ-ˌtā\ and \ˈfȯt\ predominate; \ˈfȯr-ˌtā\ and \fȯr-ˈtā\ are probably the most frequent pronunciations in American English.

I confess that one time when I was 7 years old. I carved a letter D in my grandma's coffee table for DIANN which is my real name. When I saw what I had done I panicked and went ahead and carbed OUG after that. My brother DOUG got screamed at for carving his name in the coffee table. He kept saying "I didn't do it I SWEAR" and my mom kept saying "Doug...who else would carve your name in the table??" My brother was 14 at the time.

I figure years of being locked in closests and having wrestling moves practiced on me...I got my payback.

:D:happy: I finally confessed to my family at around age 25.

This particular scenario happened like 5 times until I could finally wake myself up. I then called him in and we had sex.

I confess that I like to engage in aggressive snuggling. If you are unaware of this form of snuggling it's when you are laying next to your mate and you are cuddling and then you wriggle wildy and hold them tightly and scream into their chest "I AM SNUGGLING YOU AGGRESSIVELY AND YOU CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!!""...then laugh like you're insane.
