Sorry about this, but please just give security your I.D. – we don’t want no trouble.
Okay now that you’re in, Look our Bar Room. :silly: :cheerful: Annie Decorated it and I think she’s done a FABULOUS job!!!!! Thanks Annie!!!!
After, if you are still walking, talking and coherent you might want to stop by our gift shop!!!!
N O W S E R V I N G :
Hey there handsome, excuse me for a minute I’ll be right with ya’ 
MENU LIST:
N E W ON THE M E N U!:
DDD, also served by the bottle
Dirty Dirty Dirty Diana
INTRODUCING The dirty, Dirty, DIRTY DIANA: Some of you addicts have been pretending. And it’s really not necessary. When you come into the bar, have a seat. Your drink has already been prepared. We’ll even serve you the bottle. After all, it’s got your name on it. :yes: :alien:
Warning: Do NOT Mix this drink with Bad Boy Shots. We’ve heard some stories, let me tell ya!
Bad Boy Shot
THE BAD BOY SHOT: Let’s face it, you’re not a good girl and you’ve never been one. You need something strong in ya and this big, black bottle IS IT. One shot is usually enough though we at CCC already know that’s not all you want. Pure Testosterone, raw masculinity infused with some BAD a$$ attitude – all you need to do is open up, throw this one back and wait for it.
:pouty: :sick: Warning (Drink Responsibly)
MJ
- MJ, Too
MJ: We’ve taken this infusion of all natural MJ bodily extracts and perfectly blended it into this refreshingly, naturally sweet and tangy citrus beverage we all ooooooof course, MJ. And we swear, it taste just like JUICE! We can’t really explain what it will do to you — experience it for yourself. You’ll understand after your very first swallow. :whistle:
A Wet Sabah -- Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
A Wet Sabah: Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
In honor of our favorite couple’s special night we at CCC have created two special drinks:
CHASTITY and UNLEASHED
Ms. CHASTITY
MS. CHASTITY: Coy and uninhibited, sweet and sincere. Remember when you were without fear, honest and whole — do you want to feel like that little girl again; do you want to experience, if only for a moment, the blissfulness of youth? Enjoy, Saniia’s Ms. CHASTITY. Experience the quality that captured Michael’s heart. INNOCENCE IS INTOXICATING.
Unleashed
UNLEASHED: Years of discipline, control and abstinence can only result in one thing: UNLEASHED. We were there. We captured it. We bottled it. Taste the flavor of unbridled passion.
Liquid CobraCrack™
Liquid CobraCrack ™
LIQUID COBRACRACK™ There hasn’t been a chapter uploaded for days! Your internet connection is on the blitz and you can’t find your IPod. Your family and friends have completely disassociated themselves from you because you’ve become a walking zombie. Not one of them understands why you’ve been staring at the blank screen of your computer for days now. But if you don’t get some Michael in you and in you quick, you will just explode!
Due to the number of addicts jonesing outside of CCC we rolled up our sleeves and created this TEMPORARY infusion of Michael in the form of Liquid CobraCrack ™. Stock up now while supplies last. Keep some in the back of your fridge, in the garage, under your desk at work and in your nightstand. Never be without Michael again!!! But Be Warned: Liquid CobraCrack ™ is equally as addictive as the real thing and there is a high likelihood of developing a tolerance very quickly. :sad: You really just can’t replace the real thing!!!!
The cool, refreshing boyish joy of Michael in your glass.
MINTY MIKE: Inspired by Sonia: We were just goofing off, experimenting when we took Michael’s cool smile, his refreshingly sincere good nature, his boyish charm and added just a dash of delight and to our surprise, POOF!!! A Minty Mike appeared! One sip and we couldn’t stop laughing!!! Almost scientifically identical to the chemical compound of JOY, this drink will chase away any and all of your blues and put a peppermint — permanent smile on your face. Enjoy!
Creamy Sabah
CREAMY SABAH: Creamy Chocolate Mike w/ just a hint of Sabah. We searched high and low for a non-x-rated picture that we could put up and this is what we came up with — WHEWWWW!!!!
Pure
Prince Michael’s PURE – Cool, Sweet and light as mist, this magical drink refreshingly satisfies your craving for Prince Michael without the calories or the alcohol. Passion distilled to its purest form, PURE WILL cure your thirst . . . but alas not your desire. Feel free to drink it all day and all night but be warned, Prince Michael always leaves you wanting more.
:wub: L.O.V.E.:When it comes to shots, we don’t offer anything that is more electrifying. We are serving the pure essence of Michael. It IS all that he had ever stood for and nothing more. People who met him basked in its warmth. It was in his words, his actions, his demeanor, his behavior and most of all, his smile. He simply exuded it from his pores. He gave and never asked for anything in return and now we offer the same to you.
If you’re feeling down and you need a pick me up; if you have been hit with a dose of negativity and need something to chase it away, we present to you something that will fill you with only the most natural of highs. It is ten times stronger than any of our other drinks and lasts twice as long: L.O.V.E. Have a shot today and experience the love of Michael Jackson. ***If you experience an immediate sense of peace, joy and contentment, don’t be alarmed that’s the magic of Michael in your system.
Chocolate Covered Mike
CHOCOLATE COVERED MIKE: For those of us with a sweet tooth introducing, Chocolate covered Mike. It’s decadently sweet, addictive, satisfying and unbelievably good for you. It’s just too perfect, OMG!!!!
- Sangre
SANGRE: Other establishments serve Sangria. We serve Sangre. Simply put, this sensually, seductive mixture of perfectly blended fruit, aged wine and just a tinsy weensy drop of Michael’s blood will invade your system and change your personality FOREVER. Undercover cameras captured the woman in the picture above seconds after she took one sip – we are not even sure she had a chance to swallow. Michael NEVER knew what hit him but I hear he was smiling for days afterward. Try it – if you’re woman enough. :devil:
The Force - it has a lot of power!
THE FORCE: This drink is served with a resuscitation kit. I don’t’ think I need to say more!
The Prince Royale
THE PRINCE ROYALE: You’re a lady, and you know truthfully that is the only kind of woman who can capture Michael’s heart. You only drink to relax, not to get drunk like some of the lesser women who frequent Da Smooth Criminal. You’re not interested in cheap sex, you want a life time commitment from the object of your affection. Your drink will be served in our finest crystal, the ones etched in gold, on a silver platter in the VIP section of the bar. The smooth and fruity undertones of this vintage wine will peel away the layers of your resistance until you are as free from your inhibitions as any Creamy Mike lover. The only difference is you’ve done it with style. The price of this drink only reflects your superior self-worth. Go ahead splurge. You’re worth it! And Michael will definitely take notice. He enjoys the finer things in life and so do you.
Thug Passion
THUG PASSION: Okay it’s no Michael but you’re strapped for cash. The flavor doesn’t last as long but it’s just a ‘lil something to keep you going until you can get a REAL drink. A favorite of our financially challenged customers. What you see is what you get and damn, come on girls, you have to admit, it looks good as hell.
THE MABHA * Michael chose the name so excuse the spelling : )
THE MABHA: A smooth and tangy combination of Sabah and Michael with a twist and zesty kick at the end. Don’t nurse it, ’cause it get’s flat. Drink it while it still has that sizzle!
THE GENTLEMAN
THE GENTLEMAN WILL stay in you all night and will also be the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning. Now let’s be clear: It’s not a hangover. It’s better than a hangover. It’s a HANG ON I’M CUMIN’.
Cool, milky, deceptively sweet.
THE MIKEGASM: Hands down, our most popular drink! Cool, Milky and deceptively sweet, you won’t see where the bang is coming from but IT WILL hit ya!!!!! What’s worst, you’ll keep ordering it anyway. We can’t explain why it explodes in your mouth, we just know we like it!!!! Make sure you have a designated driver if you start throwing back this one. We’re not going to take responsibility and you WON’T have just one.
Mr. M, Home Brewed Right Here at CCC daily!
MR. M: This is our signature beer. We brew it on the premises but if you’re watching yourself, you can get our light version instead.
Mrs. M, For Our Lady Cowgirls who WANNA remember the good times!
MRS. M: The light version of our homemade brew, for our responsible drinkers who also want to make it home in one piece.
Holoma's Soup
HOLOMA’S SOUP: This deceptively potent drink has babies popping up all over the place and since Michael loves da kids, we just can’t take it off the menu. It’s spicy and fruity and served with a strangely cool mist circling up top. Don’t mind the woman in the back hovering over the cauldron. She mixes a big batch of it every morning and though we’ve never asked for a specific list of ingredients, she says that it’s all natural and we trust her!!!
Creamy Mike
Creamy Mike w/ Extra Creme
CREAMY MIKE: (Inspired by Annie) Pure milk chocolate, lightened to perfection with thick, heavy cream and a blend of exotic liqueurs, the taste of this drink will linger in your mouth for hours. You’ll find yourself constantly licking your lips and thinking about it even after you’ve cleaned the last drop out of the glass with your finger. So delicious we naturally prepare two when it’s ordered because everyone gulps them down so quickly. BE WARNED: This drink WILL give you a particularly wicked alcoholic sugar rush. A number of women find it very difficult to keep their legs closed even after one small sip.
The Foreplay
THE FOREPLAY: (Inspired by Martinigirl) Trust me. Looks CAN be deceiving. This seemingly happy go lucky drink will put you flat on your back and keep you there. No matter what you’ve heard YOU ARE NOT READY for this drink. The tangy taste of pineapples smothered in Amaretto and Southern Comfort will knock you right off your feet – literally. Once on your back, you WILL stay there for days . . . and nights. I took this off the menu because I lost a couplah return customers. It’s served with a life size cut out of the Michael pic above. A bunch of people ordered, left and were never seen again.
Golden Boy
THE GOLDEN BOY: (Inspired by Enola) From the moment this Martini came into existence we knew it was special. Inexplicably sliding down your throat like icy cold molten lava, we struggled to formulate an adequate description. Fearing, because the drink was so powerful, that we would face multiple law suits if we put this volatile concoction on our menu we decided in the end it would only be safe to offer ONE drink PER PERSON per LIFE TIME. Ladies, ladies, before you protest, please try and understand: The Martini . . . shakes/stirs itself! (Cue dramatic music) ( O-O )
The Thriller
THE THRILLER — (Inspired by MJQuan) It sizzles, it pops, it dances in your mouth and then it gets down in you and makes you wanna dance, too. One sip, and your hand is up in the air, you’re pursing your lips and saying, “Oooooo”!!! This is our most popular non-alcoholic drink. You can take it all day and never get tired. Enjoy!

My son’s normally very mild-mannered and reserved coach got EJECTED from the game and FINED for arguing with the umpire!! :lol: (in Paradise again no less!) we were all stunned! In my 8 years as a baseball mom i have NEVER seen that! I guess he made some really unfair calls and the coach just couldn’t hold it in any longer.
:lol: Sabine you know you have to EARN computer time around here! OMG, I HATE when they are standing here lurking and whining waiting for me to get finished! i’m like GET OUT!!

Oh, a new sign outside the door! Let me take a closer look… Loading shipment?!

Awww, Enola, I LOVE Happy Feet! you’re so cute!
I keep thinking of all us addicts whenever i hear that Kesha song “you’re love is my drug”!
I’m looking down every alley, I’m making those desperate calls
Im staying up all night hoping, Hit my head against the walls
What you’ve got boy is hard to find
Think about it all about it all the time
I’m all strung up my heart is fried
I just cant get you off my mind
Because your love, your love, your love, is my drug
:lol: …except it should be “your L.O.V.E. is my drug”
have a super day all you lovesick crackheads!! :heart:
:biggrin: LOLLOLLOL!!!!
That reminds me of a joke I read somewhere, back then when US presidential elections were held, and nobody knew, would it be dear W. Bush or Al Gore, and the counting of votes went on and on in Florida….
The joke was:
From the Government Of the Republic Of China to the US Election Administration:
Dear Sils,
We have heald you have problems with election. We send you 1 million countelfeit “Viagla-Pills”. We hope this will help,
Youls sincelely,
Lepublic Of China
P.S.
:heart: :heart: :heart: Please, please I don’t want to offend anybody…. Us Austrians are the subject of many, many jokes in Europe….. I have to laugh every time I hear one….
@Katie
Ich werde nie über die Österreicher lachen. Ich hatte Familie in Østerreich aber sie sind leider alle gestorben. Eine tragische Geschichte.
*Insert by Sabine: (Translation: I will never laugh at the Austrians. I had family in Austria but they are unfortunately all dead. A tragic story. – for the people who have not mastered seven languages and would like to take part in the conversation too! :wink: )*
But I did enjoy the Chinese joke… :cool:
So in true Chinese style I’m going to say gan bei, which means something like down the hatch, while I enjoy a nice Golden Boy all by myself – or so it seems at last. (What is it worth to master 7 languages when no one is around?)
Yeah, yeah, whatever, cheers to you all anyway. :lol:
Hey Katie, that’s funny — I think. I’m sorry but don’t quite get it!!!!!! I’ve been trying to figure it out for three minutes now. Now okay about being offensive, I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s pretty hard to offend me. :cheerful:
Hi Gracie! Your kids get out early!!!! My kids have about two more weeks. I think most things are funny!
baahahahaha – I am dirty even when I am trying to be good.
*waving to da girls*
well I am back from a fabulous ride…
It was really great but I find sometimes when I join groups to ride they are way to serious and competitive – when I am not really all that competitive… today all the girls were talking about how far we should go and how fast.. blah, blah, BLAH whatever! Don’t you girls know anything?!
For me… I don’t usually measure my rides in distance – but in calories..
1842 calories burned in my 4 hour ride translate to fried chicken for dinner and martini’s for dessert!
And that makes me a winner in any circle! Whoop – let’s EAT!
:tongue:
Hey Mgirl, so where’d you ride, from where to where?
I kind of chuckled at your comment because their how far should we go and fast is kinda the same thing as your 1842 calories = chicken dinner.
It’s just that their focus is on speed and distance and your focus is on food and drink :lol:
Doesn’t anyone just do it for the enjoyment? :tongue:
Do I see a new shipment coming? :w00t:
So do we have CM or PM to look forward to?
How about a Debbie will you take that ????
I actually rode from Toronto to Oakville and back home.
In reality I do know how far I went – as my fitness watch tells me
(it was about 53 miles or 85 kilometers)
come on Queen…
food and drink are my enjoyment… hehehe
so that is why I ride.. oh and I like being out doors!
I am off to get my chicken!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO please no, that’s cruel and unusual punishment :dizzy: :blink:
ok thanks. I was trying to have a mini debate i guess you really are the queen of debating. I just have one question? what would Sabah do? (whistles)
*licking her fingers*
hmmmmmmm that was finger licking good.
Michael would approve..
:blink:
We are loading… when did we start loading… oh we might have a prince update soon.
A gentlemen for me… I feel like taking it easy this evening
Awwwe, So no ride, no food? :sad:
Say it isn’t so!!!!
oh no…
I love to eat and I love food and we all know I love to drink
No ride would mean eating a little less and only one glass of wine or martini
I like to indulge in what I love – some would say over indulge
but I make a really great 6oz martini – how can I stop at one?
Hmmmm thinking of drinking, I should get down to it.
LCC for me!
Don’t mind me, Mgirl — I’ve had a lot of involvement w/ people with food issues, addictions, obsessions, disorders, etc. So my antenna goes up when I think someone is not giving themselves permission to eat unless they do something to earn it first.
After all, we have to eat to live. I always point this out to people, people who are naturally skinny, ever notice, they eat whatever they want whenever they want. Of course, people say, well, they are naturally skinny that’s why. I’m thinking it might be a chicken and egg thing — maybe that’s why they’re skinny?
But also, everyone has different body types — I just really believe that the Western world and America in particular, is obsessed with exercising and food. Deprivation/rewarding, in relation to food, because of the diet industry has sort of become a way of life.
Okay, this is my long winded way of saying, if you never got on a bike again, I think you STILL should have your friend chicken if you want it! :biggrin:
Then you must really love Kit!!! :heart:
A drink! A drink! A kingdom for a drink!
Someone once said that something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Well, you know what? I think I’m the rotten one… Hehe… Or at least my brain feels rotten after having spent the day in front of my computer – you know zombie style… I have drooled so much over Michael today I feel dehydrated, so please have mercy on me and pass me a Sangre!
:pinch:
Here you go
*touching the tip of my bottle to Enola’s*
*clink*
Cheers. A day spent at indulging in a Mike addiction is a day well spent. :lol:
Cheers.
Thank you for supporting my Michael madness… :biggrin:
*tipping a vial of pure, undiluted LLC into a bottle of Sangre*
As a CobraCrack dealer, it’s my pleasure :devil:
Here, have another!
hey ladies! missed you all today…Enola I envy you!… a whole day to feed your addiction? I am having major withdrawal ! thank goodness the packages are being labeled!
…*sigh*…more Lcc for me..
funny you were talking about body issues…i was just in that terrible place today. I admittedly HAVE body issues, it’s too late for me but I worry about raising my daughter to have a healthy self-image soooo much. I do believe that we all have different body types. Just look at any family! If your mama always had a “big boobies and a wibbly wobbly hiney” (that’s a quote from me, age 4!) then you just might be predestined to have them too! I give my kids healthy food and occasional sweets and let them choose how much of what they eat but i don’t let them hog out on junk food…i don’t do food battles, i have bigger worries than whether or not they clean their plates or eat their veggies. what i worry about most is how she will feel about herself when the standard in this day and age is “skinny”. It never mattered to me that my mom told me to accept the way i was made so i doubt that i can make it any easier for her. but who knows, maybe she will take after my skinny mother-in-law instead of my family! :wink:
Hey Gracie! I left came back and was so happy to see your comment.
((((((((((((((((Gracie)))))))))))))))))))))
Let me tell you a little secret: *whisper* There’s A LOT of woman with body issues — millions! Some of them — most of them are those little skinny minny girls we see that we think LOOK healthy and happy and inside they are dying to be thin. Literally.
Sadly, a lot of people don’t know they have an unhealthy relationship with food or won’t admit it.
So can I tell you a little story?
:lol: You’re not here to say yes, so here I go — its more like an illustration.
Think of the bible, you know how the bible refers to the child as the son of such and such — in the past, a father’s reputation or a mother’s reputation would dictate how other people perceived or would treat a person.
So if say our Prince Michael’s father was a great man and had accomplished great things, people would say, There goes, Prince Michael, son of Joseph — and by reputation, people would automatically consider him a great man and capable of great things — because his father was such a great man.
It’s still true today. We look at Prince, Paris and Blanket and we say those children will be great people by extension, because of who there father was.
Now thinks of Jermaine’s kids? What’s the expectation of them?
The same is true if the father was a scoundrel. People will say, There goes Jermajesty, son of Jermaine — you know Jermaine is a bum.
Now it takes a great man to step outside of the shadow of a father who was a scoundrel. But still people will say, Jermajesty is a great man, but damn, his father.
Now even if the son is a scoundrel, people will still talk about the parent — You know, Prince or Paris is a scoundrel, I don’t understand, his/her father, Michael was such a good person it must have been his Uncle Jermaine’s influence, after he passed . . . .
So what am I going on and on about? It’s not about what other people think.
The greatest gift we can give our children is to become our best selves — so that by example, we give them permission and the template to become their best selves
And girl, that has little to nothing to do with how skinny or fat they are. Not matter what the world says, it’s what’s inside that counts. :wink:
not a worry my queen
I grew up having serious body issues and didn’t learn to accept my body and what genetics gave me until well into my 30s!
Exercise is my stress reliever – no matter what is going on in my life or how bad it is – I can literally feel the stress and tension leaving my body 10 – 15 minutes after some activity.. (I won’t include sex in there – that is another ball of wax!)
My reward for putting my body through the things I do – is eat and be merry!
Oh yes – I have and would so do that even if I was a couch potato – I would just have to wear a size or 5 larger… whoop – I like to eat.
Oh E… it is amazing the time the computer takes away – but look at all the loveliness’ it brings you…
a drunk when you need someone to drink with
a mama when you need something to eat
a crack dealer that doles out and sates our Michael cravings…
and all the other random lovelies that appear sharing your love..
oh.. I think I need another martini – but while I am waiting – I think I will take an MJ!
Ach, well, that’s good then Mgirl – I think :wassat: I just really believe a healthy relationship with food is when you no longer count calories or weigh your activities on one side and what you give yourself permission to eat on the other.
You know, like when you were a little kid and you played tag or relay races and then you had that burger and it was soooooo good and you enjoyed it and you never thought about the two together!
Well, my dear old mother and family called me fat from the time I was little, even though I wasn’t fat and left with a wonderful distorted body image :sad:
Of course now they deny ever doing that and say, wow, look how good you looked when they see old pictures — even though I’m pretty much the same exact size. :w00t:
awwww…you guys with the CCC L.O.V.E,… :heart:
you know MGirl, I was thinking it’s a good thing i didn’t get her until my mid-30’s when i was a little less uptight about that stuff. I am sure i would have messed her up if i had her first! I just look at her adorable little chubby thighs and worry… but sometimes i feel like she will be okay because she is surrounded by so much more love and acceptance than i was, you know? maybe my body issues stemmed not just from my imperfect body (looking back it’s not like i was morbidly obese or anything, just chubby) but i think i felt there must be SOMETHING wrong with me and that was the most obvious flaw.
Sabine, i loved your story…you know, maybe that’s why i don’t worry about the boys, because i know that they are my husband’s sons so i just figure they will be OK. I feel more pressure with my daughter because she is MINE (even though she is not much like me at all) just because she’s a girl…isn’t that odd?
my parents told me i was fat too as in “you’re fat, get used to it..it’s just how you are” i guess they were trying! I look back now at pictures from my teens when i was about a size 10 and i’m like WTF? I wasn’t FAT NOW I”m FAT!!! and i wasted all that skinny time feeling fat! :lol: but i could never give up the yummy foods altogether…that would be a life not worth living! :wink:
:biggrin: ooo, it’s thundering!!!! sing along girls!…
raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens…
brown paper packages tied up with stringm these are a few of my favorite things!
Mhmm, yep, sounds like they did the Jedhi mind trick on you, too girl. Well, I hope you can learn to feel happy with yourself no matter what size — that’s my goal for my own self. You learn to do that, and you’ll teach your daughter to do it, too :biggrin:
Sabine, you mentioned about our society being obsessed with weight and exercising..well, here’s a story for you…you know how the schools do the height and weight and BMI now and rank the kids (talk about obsessed! why don’t we put all that energy into helping them feel good about however they look?!?!) well, my niece who was maybe 10 at the time got “branded” as being “at risk for obesity” and she was devastated…she came home from school crying and started doing sit-ups and the step-aerobic thingy like crazy and my sister-in-law was like what’s goin on, you know? so she showed her the paper and just cried and cried. and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH HER!!!! her mother is tall and voluptuous and at 10 she was already tall for her age, now at 13 she is getting curvy already but what is WRONG with that? NOTHING!!! she’s not unhealthy, she’s plenty active and plays sports but she will never be able to forget that label. I just feel like this whole national obesity thing where being overweight is an “illness” and they are trying to make kids “healthy” is sooo damaging. Of course, a child who is very obese and NOT healthy and needs help should be able to get it but you simply can’t rate every person by the same standard of perfection…especially not children who are already so vulnerable.
and can i just say to allll the young girls out there..yes there ARE men who PREFER big girls, who LIKE the boobies and CAN”T GET ENOUGH of the bootie!! it’s true!!! :lol:
well, so much for that storm…it thundered and lightninged but not a drop of rain. :sad:
guess i have to go water the garden after all… :happy:
hi ya Mama… we keep on missing each other… I don’t like that!
I hear ya – my mother did the same thing to me (when she wasn’t passed out or absent)
I was actually pretty thin until I reach HS – but then only went up to a size 8 after gaining the required 10lbs we all seem to do when we change a grade/school and then about a size 10 by the time I left – but I also have very low self esteem too.
I reality the only time I ever was overweight was when I had knee surgery and became very inactive and when I finally quit smoking (I was 20 year smoker if you can believe it)
Now I am comfortable with my weight and my curves… (giggle I never ever like them or my boobs – that would be the tomboy in me I guess)
It is funny the things are parents tell us that they must not understand how it will affect us..
For me – the one thing my mother told me that stayed with me was to settle – I can tell you – I have spent my entire life doing what is different and not settling.. why should we? Life is too short I say.
Now as I work on my next adventure… who is joining me for a drink??
Girl, 8-10 that’s thin. I mean, what is it, if not thin? 12-14 is the average size of a woman in America.
Girl, is that a Freudian slip — are you comfortable or do you not like it? :lol:
I don’t know about that :pouty: I think they just don’t bother to give it any thought. It don’t take a rocket scientist to know that if you call a little girl/boy fat they’re not gonna end up feeling too good about themselves.
:cheerful: Girrrrl, have you been drinking???? This is either a Freudian slip again or I can’t read properly :wink: (unless you’re saying you’ve been rebelling against her all your life)
Heyyyyy Gracie
:ermm: mhmmm, I know the test.
Or maybe stop making processed foods full of sugar designed to make them fat. :pouty:
Awwww, poooor baby!!!!
But there’s plenty of people (Hollyweird for one) who will tell her that she’s fat.
You know there’s so many unhealthy “thin” people who are totally inactive and smoke and take drugs etc.
But it’s not even a standard of perfection is it — who said being skinny = perfect?
Well, as a Black woman, girl, you don’t have to tell me twice!!!!
Funny you mentioned the BMI test, now compare my own daughter’s reaction who is going to be voluptuous like her Mother and every other woman in my family. She came home and said, with a smirk,
Guess what?
I said what
And she said they said I’m overweight for my height. Then she started laughing and said, Those people are crazy. They don’t know what they’re talking about.
:wink: I agree . . . Let me tell you something, the BMI index is a BIG FAT LIE —
Take a look at some of these women that the BMI labels as underweight, obese, normal and let your eyes tell you if they are fat or not. The BMI does not account for body shape, height, and weight distribution. They have women who where the exact same size categorized differently. It tells a woman who is perfectly fine that she is obese.
For example, Bhakti is supposedly overweight :ermm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77367764@N00/1559599475/in/set-72157602199008819/

oh okay…you twisted my arm..one more drink before i hit the hay!
my mother’s advice was actually not that bad…she always said in the words of the great bard…’to thine own self be true” and i guess i always have done at least that!
*yawn*…i just had a lovely bubble bath and i can hardly keep my eyes open…
good night beautiful ladies….sweet dreams :kissing:
morning addicts… morning boss, morning mama G
okay a quick explanation – then I am officially off this topic and on to drinking!
What I was trying to put across was that I WAS thin – yet my parents /mother still thought I was overweight for my size – I am 5’3″. I do know that the average size is 12 – 14 – and even when I was below and because I have serious booty /thick thighs (thanks in part to my black heritage and my sporty ways) I was considered heavy – when I really wasn’t… never have been – only in the two situations I mentioned – now I am a size 8 – which I guess is my natural/set point weight – coz I always come back there
RE: Curves – well it depends – cycling is not the sport of woman with anything over a B cup – so finding a comfortable fitting sportswear/bra that doesn’t look like it belongs in a woman’s prison is sometimes hard and frustrating… I am comfortable with the way I look now – but my comment meant – I was never “liked” them before…
YES that is exactly what I was saying – without using completed sentences – I have been rebelling my entire life – I follow my heart on almost all decisions and try to live and experience everything that comes my way – as I always say the safe choices are not always the best choices and you will never know unless you try
An example would be like now – I am 42, make a fairly good living in a job 15 minutes from my home that I own… but I feel like I want to do something else – and perhaps sell my house and move – and get a job doing what I love more or not working at all for a while and volunteering… when I tell my mother that – she is all – well you are not getting any younger – you really should stay where you are and be happy – umm MOM – I expect to live another 40 years or so – I am not towing the line because it seems like the right thing to do.
RE: BMI – the calculations are based on averages – it is a terrible way of measuring one’s fitness level.
I read this article a few years ago… it was really kinda of neat and I found that it is still posted: http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2007/10/01/the-obesity-epidemic-in-pictures/
As – as well as the links to the original article – which I found quite interesting due to some of the comments posted: http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-bmi-is-crock-in-pictures.html
Okay I am thirsty… that is way too much thinking and talking and not nearly enough drinking!
L.O.V.E. shot for me!
happy Sunday ladies
Ahhh, okay, gotcha now. but you know, don’t you, that there’s two ways for someone to control you — telling you what to do and making you do it, or telling you what to do, and making you do the opposite :cheerful: :wink:
Thanks for the link to the article — I remember reading it a while ago, but what I always find more interesting are the comments!!!!
Ohhhh, Mgirl!!! :wub: :lol: :biggrin:
:w00t: Any DAY now!?!?!? WTH!! what’s the problem? Shamone SAbine, didn’t i tell you last time you needed to have a word with this half-assed shipping company ?? You cannot leave our Crack in the hands of these incompetent fools!! they clearly have NO respect for the enormity of their responsibility….just a shame…
*sigh…grumble….sigh*
*gulping down a Creamy Mike*
waiting IMpatiently….with L.O.V.E. :wink:
MGirl..LOL @ you finding a bra! IMO, bras ARE a woman’s prison!!! OMG I am such a hippie, I take that thing off as soon as i get in my house and in the winter i can go DAYS without wearing one hiding my DD’s under layers and a puffy coat! :lol:
I know, I know, but last time, it was MIchael’s fault. He was doing a private reading. I hope he’s not doing that again!!!
DDs!!!!
:w00t: Your hubby must be a happy man!!! :wub: :wub:
I need something to calm my nerves after the last chapter, please. It’s hard to even type right now as my hands are shaking. Any recommendations???
:blink: :blush: :cwy: :dizzy: :wub: :smile: :wink:
Well, we can fan your fire with an Unleashed, knock you out cold with Foreplay, tease you with a Pure or try and satisfy you with a Creamy Mike — what do ya think?
I just read your comment. I think I need a drink too! i swear that chapter had me up all night for days. I just had so much that needed to get out — you see how long it was.
Plus, I can’t stop singing of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :lol:
THAT’S the other thing I forgot to comment on!!!
I used to watch Chitty-Chiity Bang Bang ALL the time when I was little. How cute that you put that in there.
I ALWAYS loved the bit where they pretend to be toys and sing on top of the music box. I wanted to be the girl. LOL!!!
I will take 5 of each of the ones you mentioned, please!!!
:wink:
