LMAO!!!!So peanut butter is ok then?

I''m really fascinated at people''s food hangups. I thought about writing a book about it once...

Why won''t you eat this stuff?

And I like Smarties.

Me too!!

I totally missed this before, I like smarties! How random. When I was a kid, we crushed them, then sucked the powder through a straw! I also am really into skittles, the wild berry kind. They remind me of childhood! I used to eat candy like a fiend, but now it makes my stomach hurt

[WishfulThinking]

I also somehow missed this whole exchange because I have poor reading comprehension skills.

They are really regal looking dogs, shedding is minimal, except when she shed her puppy coat at 8 months or so! I didn't know WHAT was going on. Aside from that, a bath every so often is all that is needed. Her hair is a lot shorter than a lab. They were african lion hunting dogs orginally

To know a Ridgeback is to love one!

How come everyone else gets Chipotle and we don''t?! Not to even mention Cheesecake Factory...AND Ruby Tuesdays!

Funny that your fave comfort food is naan and chicken curry. I need to learn how to make more food.

I found these Chocolate Souffles at Trader Joes that I''m obsessed with making. They are super yummy, and all you have to do is throw them into the oven. I''m so not a chocolate person too.

You might find this funny, but I have a tendency to fall a lot (I blame my surgery 5 years ago) so I''m not the best in walking in heels either!

So tell us about your BF!!!!

ANOTHER one I missed!

He''s the best! (except for the whole ''holding the ring hostage'' thing...

) What else do you want to know about him?

*sigh* this was DH''s response:

"that''s an afrikaner''s dog
you want the legacy of apartheid licking your face?"

he then inserted a wink but said he likes labs better.

They are from Zimbabwe/Rhodesia, but I don''t know enough of the political history to comment further. The DID feature one in Blood Diamond, lol. They are very cool dogs, and much more unique than a lab. They are very intelligent, and if your DH like a challenge, then a Ridgeback is a good one, lol! They are quite clever.

 

[MoonWater]

Hahaha, he was just kidding with me. I''m not sure if he cares how smart they are...I have no idea how he''s choosing. I think he agreed to a lab because I''ve been bugging him about them. He wanted a beagle because his family has always had one.

I love How-you-met stories! (This is an old post on PS, actually, one of my first, so I just copied and pasted

Please excuse my long-windedness...

I went to College in CA and decided to live on a theme floor for African American students. (I know that sounds odd, but they had lots of theme floors - GLBTA, Latino, International, Quiet, Athlete, etc...) The floor was supposed to be 50/50 M/ F, but ended up being 8/24 M/F! I was one of 24, BF was one of 8. BF and I were in the same chem class and got along ok, but I felt he was a bit immature. (Pretty sure he was interested in me) One day I asked him if he had any sisters? He said no. I responded that I could tell, b/c he didn''t know how to treat women. (Harsh, but I stand by the statement) BF, being a sensitive soul (Pisces) was HIGHLY offended. Not too long after, I started dating a junior (we are both FROSH) and I am not at all concerned with BF. Ironically, current beau starts threatening to drop out of college to join the military, and keeps telling me I should date BF. I thought this was highly irregular, and also offensive, since I found BF immature and irritating. (Little did I know that he was telling BF that he should ask me out, too! Obviously current beau had some issues...) Anyway, BF and I become more comfortable with each other over time, as current beau and I break up.

Fast forward to sophomore year. BF and I are now officers in the same campus org. We are casual friends, nothing exciting. I am still very much infatuated with former beau (who had been my 1st BF). Most of the year passes, and towards the end of the year, I invite him, and sometimes him and a friend over for dinner. I enjoy the company. By the end of the school year, I am hanging out in LA as long as possible before going home for the summer, and BF is taking summer school. I start hanging out with him, and we talk for hours, and watch movies late into the night. I go home over the summer and we keep in touch via instant messenger.

Junior year: By now we are pretty close friends, and I start encouraging him to go to the library, so I start planning for us to go. We go routinely, and enjoy each other''s company. We tutor every weekend for a campus org, and spend most friday nights together watching movies, sleeping on opposite ends of the couch, but sharing a blanket (very cute!). All of our friends accuse us of dating, but we are just friends. We then progress to party buddies, and we host or go to parties together, and watch out for one another. This goes on the entire year, and we are BFF''s. We talk every day, late into the night, never tiring of our conversations. He was just so easy and pleasant to be around. (In the ensuing months, we travel to new Orleans, Anaheim, and Vegas together, with friends, and spend LOADS of time together) One day, in the weeeeeee hours of the morning after partying all night, we are on our respective ends of the couch. I blurt out "Am I allowed to ask you out?" I hold my breath, and he takes about 2 seconds too long to say "Yeah...". LOL, apparently I interpreted that as asking, but he was waiting for me to ask, which I never technically did.

Either way, after that, we very awkwardly transitioned to dating. He had never dated anyone (and had just turned 21) and I had only dated the one guy my frosh year. We dated for 6 mos. and I very rottenly broke up with him on our 6mo anniversary (NOT intentional, I was very stressed about school, GRE''s and applying to grad school) He very sweetly brought me the roses that he had gotten for me, and I felt like total S***T. Things were awkward for about a month, then we were fast friends again. It was like a relationship w/o benefits. We were back on the phone, daily, and he flew out to my house over X-mas to visit during our senior year. When we got back to school he was pledging a fraternity, but still calling me daily, and coming over many times a week, and sleeping on my floor and couch. I really just loved and missed his company, but more than platonically. 2 weeks after he had finished pledging, I asked him out... AGAIN! He said YES, and didn''t even give me a hard time! He said he knew from the first time that he met me that there was something about me (they all say that, don''t they?) and that he knew things weren''t over when I broke things off the 1st time. 5 years later, we are still going strong! Our 5th anniversary was in September!

Oh lord, I wrote a novel!!!

I only have one ex. We are friends now, and keep in touch from time to time (we talked for 3 hours about 2 weeks ago. We do this about twice a year). I love talking to him, but SO doesn''t exactly love it, if you know what I mean. I could write a novel about my ex, he is, um, quite a case of something. Hilarious too. We only dated for 4.5 months, but man, he was like the saga of my undergrad experience. I hardly remember how crazy things were now, but at the time, it was quite dramatic, and I only know this because my friends reassure me that it is so. Anyway, he was a nice guy, just had some issues. I wish him the best.

Yeah, my SO only believes in mutts. When he buys the dog, he can choose.

 

[MoonWater]

Aww, I read your "how we met" story. Very sweet. You can tell he loves you loads!

 

[choro72]

Haha, I just saw your past post and saw your relationship history. Sorry I didn''t look more carefully

Lemme ask, which college did you go to? I graduated from the LA area too!

Let''s just say I''m a Trojan.

Fight on!

 

[ChinaCat]

Just a shout-out from another fellow Trojan.

Fight on!

My DH and I both went there, but didn''t know each other and met at law school in a different state. We are both crazy college football fans, so it''s so fun to watch together. We are hated in the state we live in!

Your how we met story is adorable.

YAY!

I love meeting other Trojans! I was telling my friend a few weeks ago that if SO and I broke up, I don''t know what I would do during football season. I would FIGHT to watch my game over any other game, and I will fight hard!

As far as meeting in college, it is so nice to have so much shared history! We both graduate in ''04.
