Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[bluedevilinaz]

I've just bought a bike, only a Honda 125 but it seems good to learn on. I had one when I was younger for a short time but never took my test.

Labyrinth is fab! Nearly as good as guy tasting sounds!!

Awesome! I love riding. There is nothing else quite like it, except maybe flying a plane. haha. Just remember to keep the rubber on the ground and you'll do fine.

Labyrinth is an awesome movie! Definitely one of my favorites. Hahaha well that depends entirely on the guy and how hygenic he is I guess.

Happy Belated Easter everyone!

I need to vent:
I am trying to lose weight, so far I have lost about 20 lbs, well this weekend I was not sticking to it like I should have been, its easter I was going to, and my grandmother started making all kinds of sarcastic, mean things about me. Why do family members think that they can open their mouths about something sooo personal. Unless its to encourage or if I would have asked for an opinion is one thing, I was so angry . Ok now Im done thanks for listening

Happy Belated Easter to you as well!

First off congrats on losing 20lbs!
I'm in the midde of my own battle with weight loss and so far I've plateaued right around 30lbs lost in 6 months. Family can sometimes be the hardest ones on you. I say just ignore it and let it roll off your shoulders. I've had people tell me I need to get in shape and I always fire back with "Last tiem I checked round was a shape!" hahaha. Catches them off guard everytime. Keep up the good work though and don't let other people get you down! Before you'll know it you'll be the one laughing when you've hit your goal weight!

Hey all.

Thanks for the support. I came out of my funk today. I would like to think this isn't the reason, but I'm afraid it is - around this time a few years ago is when my ex and I split. Easter was the first holiday that I was alone, struggling for the first time as a single mom, rolling quarters to buy an Easter basket, and he was living it up with his new girlfriend. I've overcome a lot these past years and I thought I would get through this unscathed, but it seems it still sits with me. I had to actively think about why I was in such a funk and so withdrawn, that it's all I could think of that happened around this time.

I've got a date tomorrow with a person I didn't think I'd ever go out with. He sent me a rather rude message on a dating site and instead of ignoring it, I made a snarky, witty reply and it seems to have gotten his attention. He stopped talking to me like some common street trash and more like a man who is a decent human being. Maybe he meant his first message to me to be funny and I took it wrong. So, I've decided to give the guy a chance. We're meeting tomorrow for coffee/drinks. He's younger than me and I usually don't do well with younger guys. This is a 5 year age difference, but he seems mature beyond his years and gives consideration to the fact that I am a single mom, which means he actually read my profile. It will be nice to get back into the saddle since my break up in early March.

Wow, thats great that you were able to narrow it down like that. The subsconscious mind is a powerful thing. The good thing about it, that now that you know, it makes you stronger to get through it next year with just that much less care about the past. Good for you.

Enjoy your date, it sounds like it will be interesting if nothing else. You are already teaching him how to treat you and never settle for anything less than the best!

That's a great accomplishment to lose 20lbs. Don't let anyone guilt you out of your successes. I know all too well how it feel to think that losing 20 or 30lbs is great until someone tries to burst my bubble. It just made me stronger... Its so hard with family because you don't want to hurt their feelings but we should always feel comfortable letting them know when they aren't being support.

Good job!

Ok first....YOU GO GIRL!!! I am super proud of you losing 20 pounds!!
I am working on the weight loss thing and last year I dropped 40 lbs and 2 sizes so you keep doing what you have to do to make yourself happy.
Second, some family members seem to think it's ok for them to criticize because they are family and truly, they are the ones that should be encouraging you. if she was saying to be helpful she did a poor job of it. just know that we are here to help and encourage you and remind you that maybe finishing off a pint of ice cream in one sitting isn't the best thing for you (albeit an awesome feeling of accomplishment )

Just wanted to say congrats to both of you that is quite an accomplishment

So, I went on the date. He emailed me and asked me to meet him at the mall. Then he changed the venue and wanted to meet at TGIFridays. That was fine with me because they have booze at Fridays. So I said I was getting ready and I would be there by the original meeting time. So he sent me a few texts to hurry up because he had something he had to do and I offered to reschedule. He declined.

So I showed up and he was there, obviously a few drinks in. I avoided talking about my career until he asked. I told him what I did for a living and then he decided to confess that he was about to be sentenced to probation for sale/possession/distribution/,etc. all relating to about 1/4lb. of THC found in this car. Well, it went down hill from there.

I, of course, ordered myself a $14 margarita made with patron that he decided to pay for after I already had my credit card out. He insisted and wouldn't let me pay. I offered to buy the next round. When that time came, he declined again. I was afraid I knew where this was going.

The date is coming to an end and he asks if he can see my car because "you can tell a lot about a person from their car". I declined. So we are outside the restaurant and he points out his POS as if I am supposed to be impressed. He has a garter hanging from the rear view mirror, which I did not notice at first, and then he says, "don't ask". So, I didn't, but he proceeds to tell me anyway. He continued with the story as I must have looked interested. If I did in fact look interested it was because I was trying to figure out how I could be less interested.

Then he reveals he has a son with some severe medical issues, which wasn't a problem for me because this was a date, not a marriage. Then, he rounds out this rather deep conversation with the question, "so do you want to make out?"

Um... no. No, I definitely do not want to do that. I offered to go out with him to get to know him better and then maybe that would be something I would want to do, but then omw home I got a text message with him telling me he didn't feel we would be compatible. AKA: He was looking for sex and went home alone and $28+ tip poorer.

What a creep.

Wow. It's been awhile since I've been on here. But I've got a little bit of an excuse for that. And it might lead me to my own little vent. I hate bringing drama on a forum board, but I really need to let this out as to why I've been away for a good while.

It all has to do with work. A little over a week ago, things were doing okay for me schedule-wise until payday when I got a notice that due to expenses and other circumstances, we did not make a profit in the parts department. So cut-backs had to be made, mainly in the hours of overtime many of my co-workers (myself included) had acquired. This decision was made rather than making some (un)necessary terminations. Now, don't get me wrong, I rather see people employed and making a living, but (on a more personal level) I've been struggling with trying to re-adjust my schedule to where I didn't try to skyrocket the overtime. Not only that, this is hurting me financially as it's now further delayed my plans on getting out of debt. So, for the past few days I've been extremely stressed and very anxious. And right now, I've gotten so confused as to what to do that I've become rather distressed. I like to think of myself as ambitious and after working for nearly five years at my job, I'm beyond ready to move to the next level. But at the same time, I don't want give my department hardships over my overtime when I'm trying to make their jobs a little better...

Well, I guess that's all I can think of saying. I got a call from one of my co-workers a little bit ago saying that there was some flooding in the warehouse and parts counter and I need to get up early for some major clean-up. So I'm heading to bed so I can be prepared.

If there's anything good from this.....well.......Finally saw Tron: Legacy. AWESOME flick. Though I can't help but wonder if The Dude was still in Jeff Bridges in some scenes ("You're messing with my Zen thing, man!")

damn, aside from the free drinks you got, it sounds like he could have given you that $28 so you could buy those couple hours back that you lost... jeez.

I think LaLa already did a great job summarizing so I'll just quote her. The whole thing sounds a bit...surreal. At least now you know which of his "personalities" was the real one. It certainly didn't take him long to show his true character and try to take a Fastpass trip down In Your Pants Lane.

 

[lovemickeyshouse]

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

You weren't Maria's date, were you? Because that would make this a little bit awkward...

 

[lovemickeyshouse]

Nope but know the story of how women meet these total jokes online and get treated like crap these guys should be taken out back and dealt with .

 

[DCTooTall]

What?! Less than a page of new posts?! You guys are slacking, but I guess I'll let it slide since some of you may still be in a chocolate bunny coma.


I just had to share a Facebook status update one of my friends posted. It was sooooo wrong, and yet sooooo funny!

"That's what she said" apparently isn't the proper response in church when they say "He is risen! He is Risen!"

So..... Where would the dispenser be for this fastpass? I need to try and make sure my touring plan includes a run by to grab it so that i can be sure I manage to get a ride on Splash Mountain while I wait for my Fastpass time to arrive.

Whoa cowboy. I'll think I'll go with the safe no comment response.

And seriously (since you mentioned it), how awesome is it that my son is too young to eat the mountain of Easter chocolate he has accumulated? Mommy to the rescue!

And how would you even note that in your touring plan??? Just "In you pants"? Or "In your pants 1:30 to 2:30"?

I'm not a big "must be here by this time" kinda Disney tourer... I just like to make the most efficient use of my time.


So i'm guessing maybe Get a fastpass for Toy Story mania, Then ride ToT and RRC... I should be eligable for another fastpass, so I'll get the one for "in your pants", a Trip over to the tune inn lounge for some drinks, "in your pants", Star Tours, and then hopefully by then I'll be able to ride TSM.

Hmmmm... actually.....


Maybe the Great Movie ride before Star Tours. might need something I can relax on to recover from the previous ride.

So what is expected of me since we're talking about getting in my pants? lol

Well, I'm still trying to figure out where the fast pass dispensers are.


Hmmmm.... and how much themeing do we miss in the Fastpass Queue vs. the standby queue? I wonder if it's one of those attractions where you should do the regular line at least once to get the full experience before you fast pass it.

Good point. It does seem like someone will be missing out on something if you go straight to the main attraction. Maybe you shouldn't skip everything leading up to it.

And good morning SSC!
