I hate it when people post just to post.....

Ok its funny that you guys are on the topic of farts at the moment because I had a new co worker start sitting at the desk next to me on Monday. She's settled in VERY quickly and we already know all about how her baby daddy left her and she's a single Mum and lives in a granny flat and doesn't have a car but is the coach for a cheerleading team and so on and so forth blah blah blah. I know more about her in 4 days than I do about some of the people I have worked 6 months with. Today, I thought I heard her fart. Loudly. I ignored it and carried on my work, and so did she. Then later, she did it again LOUDER but excused her self this time. Then a another co worker told me that he had been showing her some work on his computer and she farted just standing there and carried on like nothing had happened. Am I out of the loop? Is farting loudly and in the vicinity of your workmates socially acceptable now?

I was in shock, and I wouldn't call myself a prude by any stretch of the word, but manners go a long way!

Omg, that's disgusting! Everybody knows that is uncouth! What you DO is leave a silent but deadly behind when you can make a quick exit, preferably in a crowd so nobody knows who did it. Or try that elevator trick I mentioned earlier. That's LOADS of fun.

Yep, a definite keeper.

PJTP - I signed up a month ago to be a First Responder at work. I've had one class on policy and one CPR training day. Who's boss collapsed yesterday? Mine. Who had to respond? Me.

Diet wise... I've been drinking my calories and really not doing well, diet wise.

I have a fill scheduled for the 16th under Flouro and I'm hoping my doc will kick my ass into gear.

That must have been shocking and upsetting. But on the plus side, she owes you one now. :ohmy:

I hope your fill goes well.

She's gross!

PJTP: I went shopping in my closet today and fit into several things I haven't been able to wear in well over 2 years. Yay!

[tapshoes 2]

I went shopping in california.........serious shopping...and I hate hate hate shopping! So, I stayed in the dressing room of at least 18 gazillion stores, while my sister brought me outfit after outfit after suit after suit. Once we both got over the shock of the size I am able to wear, she had fun. Me, not so much...put this on, take it off, put this on, take it off, model this, put the other top on with that skirt, etc. I burned serious calories doing that dressing/undressing, I'm sure.

Anyway, my closet no longer resembles Mother Hubbard's cupboards - there are clothes in it! (and shoes, and purses, and a new spring coat...)

[DivaStyleCoach 89]

Congrats on the shopping trip, Tap! That must have felt awesome...

I'm disciplining myself not to shop any more until I drop at least another size...I'm down two sizes so far, but I had so many multiple sizes in my closet I still have clothes to wear! :ohmy:

Once they are falling off of me (or maybe before that) I'll buy a few things for Spring - knowing that by Fall I will be too small for them and have to do it all over again! Yay!

Can you tell I LOVE to shop? :crying::w00t::thumbup:

[tapshoes 2]

My closet was bare - even DH commented that I needed some clothes 'cause he was sick of seeing me in the same 2 suits for work...particularly as they were so ill-fitting and sloppy looking. My co-workers have commented each morning this week - "oh a new top/skirt/suit" - methinks they were getting sick of my clothes too!

[babygrl1234 6]

So busy....need more time to read and comment. =)

How funny tap. I finally had to break down and get new work uniforms. I was really glad to get a smaller size. I will now have to wear these until they fall off because they only give us uniform allowances once a year. Since I could no longer fit into the pants or shirts, I had to get both. Though it was troublesome, it was trouble that I am so glad to have. I love my band.

I love shopping for clothes when I don't hate my body. Yep, you were well past time for new clothes. I was at that point at my heaviest because I refused to waste money on fat clothes I hated. I had 3 different outfits I wore all the time. Now I have several "new" outfits I can wear again!

Awesome! Shopping is always fun...

Gee, thanks.

I hate shopping. I don't see anything fun about it. It's okay if I happen to be in a store and see something I like, but to go shopping when I need something to wear to a particular event, it's stressful. I can never find anything appropriate and I hate going from store to store.

What is with bansters and farts? Mine are nasty and they are frequent. It's so embarrassing. I am constantly running into the bathroom at work to let one out. Then there are those that give me no warning and come out

with gusto and I am humiliated. It drives my kids insane. I do have pills I can take that are supposed to make them not stink. I have started taking beano with every meal but I don't think they help. If I am not farting loudly, I have big huge noisy disgusting burps instead.
