Princess Logan Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 My family renamed me "Grace" as a kid because of how klutzy I am. Every time I fall or hurt myself, if family is around, someone will absolutely yell "good going, Grace!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 everyone tells me i should live in a plastic bubble and just roll around like a hamster. but that's mostly because i have terrible allergies and am klutzy and fall down a lot. really i just carry a lot of those pocket antibacterial hand gels around with me and contribute to bacteria becoming resistant to everything. Haha, got you. Well the post antibiotic world is upon us. So says the CDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I fall or hurt myself, if family is around, someone will absolutely yell "good going, Grace!" I can imagine this. Right now I am imagining Kenickie from Grease doing this to you for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesomexloveus Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 also, unrelated to anything, yesterday i had a doctors appointment and stopped and picked up 2 dozen donuts to take in to my mom at work (she works in an elementary school i went to) for the teachers. on the way to the faculty room, i offered one to someone in the hall, she took it, then hesitated because apparently she had given up fried things for lent. i then proceeded to convince her that donuts weren't fried. RUINING LENT FOR PEOPLE ON DAY ONE. epilogue: i later found out from my mom that that was the principal of her building. whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 WEBMD SAYS TO NEVER PUT THEM IN YOUR MOUTH. webmd would never lie to me. http://www.webmd.com/eye-health/caring-contact-lens No no no no lol. Obviously you don't go from mouth to eye with your lenses. The idea is to keep the lenses wet if you are in a situation where the lens falls out / comes out somehow and you don't have immediate access to solution. So you keep the lens on your tongue until you have access to solution. For example, when I wore contacts I kept travel sized solutions everywhere. In my locker at school, my mom kept some in her car, when I was old enough to drive I kept one in my car, etc. I had my lens fall out in class and I would put it in my mouth and go to my locker to clean it off before putting it back in my eye. I thought this was common knowledge, haha. Every eye doctor and eyeglass place I've ever been to has mentioned it to me. I feel like a weirdo!

Princess Logan Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I don't give up anything for lent, but the rest of my family does. My sister tried to encourage me to give up bread. LOL. Oh, also my tummy is back to normal today. I'm laying low on anything acidic, spicy, or ridiculously greasy for a bit though. I drank some green juice this morning to put some nutrients in my body after living on bread and crackers. Tummy says thank you everyone for your support during this difficult time.

futures Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I never participate in lent. But in the past 6 months I've had to permanently give up so many things that I think I'm set for life lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 growing up with one atheist parent and one not sure/agnostic-ish... we never did lent, but we always got the fish fry from church on friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 My friend came over for dinner, drinks and basketball last night. Said he gave up meat for lent, even though he isn't religious. Just wants to see if he can do it. He couldn't eat dinner with us since I made schnitzel so I made him dessert. Everybody wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Ugh I had to go to Catholic school growing up, and Lent was always terrible. The Nuns were always so irritable and nasty this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 i really just hate lent because people think that the only meatless alternative for a meal is fish. then they bring it in on fridays and heat it up in the microwave. and you all know what that's like.
