- Welcome to the group! So glad you could join us!

- Oh my gosh, I hope you're ok! I would have been scared, too. Legend has it that Nightmares (the creatures) sit on a person's chest O.O.

shivers! It may not have been sitting on my chest XD Imma put an axe beside my bed tonight haha XD!!

Omg D:!!!! That sounds terrifying O___O!!! Thank God these are only nightmares and not real D:!!

Also what the hell at those people taking a photo of you D:?! What were they doing that for?! Isn't that illegal in the US? D:

- After a dream/experience like you had, I'd be sleeping with a light on. I hope you don't have a repeat tonight! It really was a terrifying nightmare, and I am lucky that I never have the same dream twice because I never want to have it again. As for the picture thing, I'm a big woman, and these jerks thought it was worth laughing about -.-. Honestly, people get away with a lot of things they shouldn't in the U.S. I don't think it's illegal, but with how lousy I felt, it should be. Being big is one of those "acceptable discrimination" things here, sadly.

entered a little village dog show today with my darling Riley, but we didn't win. I wouldn't have minded if their final 6 picks hadn't all been pure-breeds, me and the woman beside me with another mutt weren't impressed >< but i bought him a little bandana and he looks adorable :D couldn't get a very good pic of it because he's so hot and tired from the long walk we did, but here you go:

SPOILER (click to toggle)

Haha I might go buy a kids nightlight from the store later XD! Thank God Mark was here hahaah XD! He is now immune to jumping cause I do this really annoying thing (even I hate it) and if something stupid shocks me or anything I do this really dramatic gasp XD! At the start it used to freak him out and now he's like "-.- what happened?" XD! That is super lucky :O and pretty cool that you don't get the same one twice :3!!! I occasionally have the same dream twice or even a couple of times XD! What absolute ass hats D:!!! What gives them the right to laugh at anyone? I bet they were ugly as f!&K!! People make me angry! It's illegal in the UK to take someones picture without consent! I remember watching a show called "my 600lb life" on youtube and this man in the store just came up to this woman on a mobility scooter and started making fun of her and telling her what to eat and stuff and she started crying and he continued to bully her D:!! Then she scooted away in the scooter, AND HE FOLLOWED HER! I wanted to fly to America and kick him in the face x.x! and to slap the camera man for not stepping in and telling him to wise up D:! I hate when people make fun of people for being big, it doesn't hurt anyone so what's the problem >:(! passionate hatred /end rant

Awwwwwwww look at his wee face :3!! Being all photogenic :3! How could he not win ❤️?! I think mutts are cuter than some purebreds <3

- Aww, what a cute little one! I'm sorry the judges were so snobby!

- I have a nightlight I don't really use (it was just too bright for me) that is three mushrooms that change color ^.^. I'm glad you had Mark there! I gasp, too, but Krashall and I are still both pretty jumpy lol. I have a repetition of places thing where different dreams happen in the same places sometimes, but I don't get it as often anymore. They weren't ugly on the outside, but they sure were on the inside. From what it sounded like, they also texted the pic to someone else -.-. Ugh, that poor woman! I can't understand why people are so heartless when it comes to the bodies of others. I mean, the BMI was made by a statistician (note: NOT A DOCTOR) between 1830 and 1850, and it wasn't used as the standard in the U.S. until 1972 -.-. hugs THANK YOU for ranting. It helps remind me that there are good people out there.

Also, random question. Would you want a for a contest prize? I managed to score three of them from the Food Market today, and I'd be happy to donate one.

Aww that sounds like a super cute nightlight :3!!! Oooo that repetition thing sounds pretty interesting :O! Dreams are such a strange thing :D I love them :D! I always hate when you don't dream ;-; or can't remember it xD! Well that's the worst kind of ugly D:!! The BMI thing is such a load of balls also! It literally calculates a stupid number from weight and height. It doesn't take anything into consideration such as fat percentage or muscle mass or anything. Most body builders are considered obese because their muscles weigh so much but in reality they have really low fat percentages! It angers me so much when the doctor is all "your BMI is 29, you're overweight" and I'm all middle finger! XD!

That would be a nice prize :D! I know would like to win that cause she does Francine's bakery stuff :3!

- It's wonderful! I just don't use it because I'm worried about the lights setting off migraines (although maybe I'll use it today and see how it goes). I hate when I don't remember my dreams, too (but it's ok if I forget the nightmares). Totally agree that it's the worst kind of ugly! I'd rather have nice people in my life instead of toxic ones. That's awful for body builders, especially when they work so hard to be able to do competitions and keep fit! My primary doc hasn't told me directly (he's been nice about not bringing up weight so far), but it's totally listed on my visit summaries -.-. I don't think I've ever flipped off a doctor before!

I will send the vanilla extract right over!

i think the most annoying bit was that one of their final 6 picks for the category was a husky, now it was gorgeous, i don't deny that, but the owner had NO control over it. whereas riley was sitting really nicely, and walking round well and stuff. boo!

and waves Hi, guys!

grumps Why is there NOTHING good on TV on the weekend? I'm watching Yard Crashers for lack of anything better. Payperview has some good things coming, but right now it's a wasteland. Bah.

LOL, I really don't know. Maybe the one where I saw evil figures walking along the wall? Maybe the recurring dream of things flying in the sky (ranging from wooden ships to buses and cars to huge humanoid figures)?

If it had been me, I would have taken a picture of THEM and then given them a nasty smile. I'm on the large side also, but I frankly don't care. I had a doctor try to persuade me to have a stomach band and I told him in no uncertain times I refuse to mess with my stomach. I have issues on that. I saw my father basically starve himself to death after he had part of his stomach removed.

Hmph! On the whole I prefer mutts to purebreds. Of the dogs I've had three have been mutts, three have been dachshund mixes, one was a chow mix and (I confess) Charisma may well be a purebred Cairn terrier, but she's also a rescue without papers so it's cool.

our last 3 dogs were Cairns, the first 2 were lovely, but the last one really wasnt at all >< she was evil. no amount of training would have helped her.

but riley is a mutt (collie crossed with...many many other dogs) and he is perfect. so he's always going to be the best to me XD plus pure breeds tend to have more health problems.

My first dog Whisper was pure mutt and she is the dog I compare all others to and they all come up short. When they made her they broke the mold! She will always be my special sweetheart. Charisma is coming close, though. Smart and sweet. Her only flaw is she's darn stubborn and has a mind of her own. It doesn't usually bother me except for when I want her to come in and she takes her sweet time about it.

There's always that one dog that just gets to you and is perfect. Riley's that one for me. He's a rescue too, and just wonderful. So well behaved, handsome, love him to bits! i could literally talk for hours about how amazing he is XD he is really smart though. for example, once i told him to come in, he'd been playing with a ball (which was meant to stay outside), and he tried to come in with it, and i said 'no, you can come in, but you have to leave the ball outside' so he turned around, went out again, dropped the ball, and came inside. i was stunned XD

That sounds a lot like Whisper! She seemed to understand everything I said also.

it's so weird when they do stuff like that XD i was so excited recently because i took him for his check up and vaccines at the vets, and asked about his age, because when we adopted him, they said he was 8-10, but he doesn't seem anything like that old, and we've had him 2 years now, so he'd be 10-12. the vet said 'at the most, he's 8' so not only does that mean we should have him longer, but it's saving me money on pet insurance XD

That's great! Right now my dogs are 14, 6 and between 1 and 2.

we only ever have one at a time, though i'd happily have more XD but those are good staggered ages. young dogs tend to keep old dog feeling and acting younger which is always good for them :D

Charisma and Cordelia have been great for each other. Charisma was getting a little chubby, until Cordelia started wrestling with her. She's trimming up nicely now. LOL, can you tell my favorite character from a certain TV show?

at the moment i'm just thinking of Buffy, but i may be wrong XD

Riley needs to lose a little weight. he's not fat, but he's a little chubby in places, and the vet said 'he's in perfect health, but could do without putting on any more weight'. i just wish i had the energy for more walks XD soon! we don't overfeed him though, so at least i know that's not the problem!

Yep! It's Cordelia from Buffy and Angel. She was everything that Buffy was NOT. One of my favorite lines was when she said something along the line of not being a cry-Buffy. Charisma Carpenter did an outstanding job with her.

I'm not able to take my dogs for walks these days. They get their exercise in the backyard.
