I leave it on constantly, but it's not to preserve the tabs, that happens automatically. It's just cause it's a hassle turning it on and off, and I use it a bit as a server.

Don't think we have that here. It's funny coz the other day I was just wondering why they go to the effort of removing the lactose when they could just add lactase.

Actually I believe they use a form of lactase that is active in the milk itself, so that by the time the milk has reached you pretty much all the lactose has been broken down. It says < 0.01 % lactose on the nutritional value thing, at least.

Jesus bloody christ... I ordered choline in bulk powder form. IT ABSOLUTELY STINKS OF ROTTING FISH. No wonder the instructions read: ''Add 500mg to your preferred amount of water and consume immediately.''

Ah hang about... it's the packet itself (repeatedly sniffed it). >_> Oh well.

lol. I take choline too, but in pill form. Gotta make sure you're not taking too much or supposedly YOU will start to smell like the fish. I'm always so paranoid about that. But I still take it, I love the stuff. I imagine it doesn't smell that great in powder form. Ew.


Rant. So I was feeling pretty great about how I was looking and feeling so far in this pregnancy, but now I can't stop thinking of myself as a cow. I saw some pictures someone took of me yesterday and I can't believe how big I look. I don't even look pregnant.

It just makes me think of how I used to weigh 100 pounds before I met him. Of course, I wasn't exactly the most healthy eating person, still, but damnit. When I actually TRY to be healthy and exercise regularly, no results. I suppose it's only been a week since I've been going at it everyday, but still! I shouldn't look at myself in a picture and feel this horrible. My doctor said my weight gain was great, only 5 lbs, but I feel like I'm going to weigh ten more pounds when I go back in in two weeks. I just feel gross.

The worst part about it is that I can't really do anything about it right now, except what I've been doing. I want a healthy baby... but my self image is suffering horribly at the moment.

My rant is that I wish I could still run like when I used to play rugby, to gain my fitness I started jogging and weight lifting again, just hope I persist this time.

Kinda makes me realise how true the statistic is that we waste more power than we use.

I was baffled when I heard about people doing that. Guess when people aren't paying their own electricity bills they don't think about the massive amounts of power computers use.

Obviously a lot of people here do that. But it depresses me. People really don't give a fuck....

Yeah, that makes sense I guess. I'll have a look next time. Maybe it just tastes bad coz my sister got the fat free one which always tastes bad.

I'm glad you said something because I never even think about that. I will start shutting it down, thanks. I think it's something that has bothered me subconsciously. I don't even like leaving my phone on all night. I think it was the way I was raised. My fiancee doesn't give a fuck about anything though. He leaves every light in the house on and if I didn't turn them off, they would never be off. Of course, his parents leave their lights on all the time too. That's also where he must get his wonderful cleaning habits. -.-

what have I gotten myself into...

What I hate most is when europeans by fruit from argentina or brazil, then buy eggs and meat from abused chickens and then proceed to throw their rubbish on the floor. No matter how good the worlds population gets there will always be that percent who dont give a fuck and ruin it all.

Ugh. My mom took all my stuff because i called my sister stupid. I didnt even say it out if meaness. So now im using her nook color. This thing sucks to type on. But whatever. Way to be hormonal mom! God dangit, i dont even feel up to finding the correct spelling of hormonal.

I pay for my own electricity, but the computer isn't really what uses the most electricity here, I think. Also electrisity is fairly cheap here, so the benefit outweighs the cost.

Worth a try

Wait, what? How old are you? I though you were like 25 and working?

My new rant is that I'm always freagin losing my hair ties. What the heck? I keep about 100 bundled in my top desk drawer, so I just get a new one but what the heck keeps happening to the ones I wear lol
Also, my youngest son does not know how to properly use wooden clothespins apparently. I had enough to have 3 loads hanging at one time and now I have enough for about 1 1/2 loads. When he brought in one of my loads a couple weeks ago, my sheet was ripped in the center. He seemingly just tears the items off the line then gathers whatever clothespins remain He must hide or trash the broken ones or something.

So, I took a 2 hour nap while the clothes dried and I woke with a slight sore throat. Stupid allergies lol

Dakotah. I hope your punishment ends quickly!

Suena. You're not fat, you're beautiful Most importantly, for now- as you said- you're healthy.
I've always thought pregnant women are sexy. Most people look at me like I'm an alien when I say that lol but it's true none-the-less.

My rant is:





And also that ive used up one whole box of tissues, an entire bag of coughdrops, and three cups of licorice tea with honey...and STILL cannot breathe out of one side of my nose.

/end rant

Can you not read the celsuis?? the blue one. Heres how to convert fahrenheit just for convenience. Take 32 of the fahrenheit and divide by two.

No -.-" I don't see where the lines end...

Haha its around 35 C

Oh... so i was supposed to look at the shadowed, dark part of it... o.o

I only checked the lighter part, because i thought that when you take a photo, you make sure the point can be seen...

a couple days ago I went to check my camera and the screen was broken <_> like half of it is black, the other half is white with some little shape on it, like someone smashed the screen or something. It was just in my purse and was working fine beforehand. Time to get up some money to buy another :/

My cell phone finally broke. It's been acting stupid for a while now.. hopefully I can get a new one sooner than later. I need to get a job, time to fill out a bunch of applications, yay.

I can't tell if my hairline is receding, or if it's always looked like that. This always happens when I take a close look at part of me.

Our two kitties got fixed, (one was pregnant, so thankfully we got there in time) and they're going CRAZY on their anesthesia. One is sleeping in the litterbox, the other is flying around the house meowling.

I'm 16. At least I sound a bit mature.

Huh.

I've started to have an obsession with the Akashic Records lately, the reason being is because I've let myself split apart on purpose because I honestly do not know how to deal with this personal problem I'm going through right now. I used to do it before, but because of the situation at hand, it's becoming more concentrated, and it's the only coping mechanism I can think of right now.

I've grown to be more apathetic towards people who are so negative and hateful towards each other, I just can't understand what use it is for you to sublimate so much misunderstandings and fears that end up becoming anger and rage. What if that same person you argued with was dead? How are you going to feel now? Are you just going to continue finding more pawns to express your insecurities to?

Anyway, I usually just try to be a hard ass when things like this come up, but it's not working. I know I may sound completely insane for using the concept of Akashic Records for this situation, but I feel this is going to be an important realization for me that my luck of breezing through life is going to end.

I mean, I worked hard in school and everything, I even looked back to my school records in middle school and High School, and compare them to my freshmen year in college. What did I do to make such good grades in these courses, especially when I took as many AP/Pre-AP courses that I could.

I almost cried on how well I did compared to college, and I just feel stupid now. I think it's because of money being involved that caused me to worry more over nothing, when it's just studying bit by bit instead of doing it at the last minute. I just hope that I can find a solution to the problem, and it's not even related to studying, just something personal.

But if I don't take advantage of being open to things like the Akashic Records now, even if it's just to give me some small hope that this merely a challenge I have to conquer, I don't know what I'm going to do. I have no plans to resolve this, and I'm hoping people I know off the net can help.

I'm this close from mentally degrading myself to the point where I start inviting more negative thoughts, and I know that's not going to help me at all, but it's been the only source of relief (yes, relief) so far.

Whenever I try to think about positive thoughts, it just feels too cheesy for things going on right now.

Maybe I shouldn't be putting more blame on my myself, and when I try to imagine myself with zero capability and zero experience, that's all I can think of right now. :/

Guess I'll just have to wait and see, and in the mean time try to find things to help get this problem done and over with.

My favorite band (The Killers) have a show coming up THIS Monday. Tickets haven't even started selling yet, presale is tomorrow. Until I get my tickets, I'm going to be a nervous wreck that all of them will be gone (I don't think it's that big of a venue). I am so determined to go. I just have to keep in mind, that if I don't get to go to this show, they will go on an actual tour at some point. I know this isn't anything real to complain about, so sorry for being a fanboy. xD

On a side note, a little bit of a more legit complaint (a little late). A few days ago I had to go to the hospital because of severe cramping (The doctor wanted to rule out appendicitis), turns out I just had food poisoning or something like that...

EDIT: Yeah my stomach is all better now. Back to eating junk food! Living the American way! YEAH.

Glad that it's nothing too major though, good to see it's something temporary. (the hospital thing)
