I can’t believe it. 12 years! I love you to the end or the universe.... and back depending on whether or not it is infinite. thank you for having the courage to come to me, and the strength to stay I love you - happy anniversary @Timberwolf

I play games on my phone. Do I need to make a separate lower thread for this or can I list them here?

So, weekly check-in: Weight is 176.8lbs. So I have lost just over 3lbs in the first week. Pretty cool. To recap I am aiming for low carb. Nothing dramatic.. I have put 30/40/30 in MFP but I am mainly concerned with keeping carbs 30 or under to begin with, I am struggling to keep fat down now, my day is often sthg like 20/40/40 or 20/30/50. I can't work on everything at once so once low carb becomes a bit easier for me I will pay attention to balancing fat and protein a bit better. I had 1 day off the low carb thing (intentionally) but still stuck to my calorie max (1200) and actually lost a lb that day so I feel that was a good plan. 3 down, 57 to go

And this week (5 goals in total so far... we are expecting a call from the NHL anytime)

This one is last week:

@Timberwolf plays hockey every Thursday. I go along and record the games. Not sure why, there isn't a big market for low quality go-pro footage of a bunch of middle aged guys playing amateur hockey in a tropical country. But it keeps me out of trouble... and I am learning a lot about hockey in the process. The youtube channel is called Dom Dumais Does Hockey. I will let you go browse if you like but here are the highlights (short videos of @Timberwolf scoring goals). This is the first video (stick with it - it is hard to see at first, but he zooms in and slo-mos for the ACTION REPLAY) Bear in mind these were @Timberwolf's first goals in 30 years.... so kind of a historic occasion.

Does the pope shit in the woods?

*hugs*

@Timberwolfmet me from work and then bought me steak! #doublewin

looks nice on my laptop

We were both in a lot of emotional pain and we both lashed out... having different cultures made it harder to communicate too. I think I made his hair stand on end sexually even in the early days when things were at their best. He kinda felt like he had found a cute puppy brought it home and it turned into some kind of demon.

iOS 11 keyboard?

Wow, that is awesome you guys have reach an understanding and respect each other. I was in your husband's situation in my first marriage... and I really struggled, and my husband made me feel very bad for struggling. Tough for everyone.

Oo instalments. I love instalments.

Think so @Timberwolf, technology eh?

Don't worry Mir, we will still love you even if you smell of Hawaiian Pizza *hugs* Now, you need to go and see @fantasymom and @Ren and ask them for an avatar

I tried the other method - stayed on FB but started following some people espousing the opposite viewpoint to me, like Paul Joseph Watson, Steven Crowder and Milo Yiannopoulos (to name but 3). I noticed a few things. 1) They are intelligent charismatic guys and do a good job of presenting their bullshit opinions. 2) Watch / read them enough and their shit starts to sound more reasonable. 3) Moving from shit sounding reasonable to actually changing your whole perspective is possible - and not as much of a leap as you think. 4) Once you understand this you realise your opinion is meaningless and founded on whoever you allow to influence you. 5) There is no truth. 6) The people who follow them are all stupid though, just read those comments FFS. 7) As these guys are intelligent they probably know this and don't believe their own bullshit. They are just doing a job. Entertaining the bottom feeders, for money. 8) Engaging with this is therefore worse than meaningless. 9) Watching / reading nothing is better, none of it means anything, nihilism is real. 10) Much more free time and complete pass to not give a fuck about politics. At all. Ever again.

Ditto TCB - though my stupid job is doing it's best to take the shine off! Only 4 and a half hours to go

doesn't it add automatically? Mine is there and I didn't put it in the calendar!

I love Halloween because my main kids app has a purple theme... I put it up on Oct 1st and take it down In Nov. it is soooo cool, I love it!! (These are images, but it is lightly animated on the screen)

Yes yes! Though for me it is 'all the tears' rather than 'raging bitch'. Sometimes 'silent loathing' that's always fun.

I lovvvveeeee aaannchhhooooovviiiiieeeeeessssss!

I don’t if you know the song ‘Four seasons in one day’ by crowded house. It is the theme tune in my head for this feeling when I am having it... I won’t say it happens a lot, but it does happen and for me it is usually hormonal. Hoping you stuck with happy too.

I was just posting it in case you hadn’t seen it, I’m sure Soulie will post I’m here when she spots it. I have whole days when I am not interested in sex, but not very often... so I don’t have a lot to contribute. But I do find sexuality and gender interesting and believe the more we can make all ‘ways of being’ acceptable the better for everyone. Thanks for sharing!
