Is this an eatiing disorder?

by Concerned Auntie

Dec 25, 2016

After a family meal last night, I saw my niece (15) alone in the kitchen and it looked like she was throwing up in the trash can. I asked her if she was okay and she looked kind of embarrassed but said that she was just spitting out her dessert (chocolate brownie cake). I asked why wasn't it good, and she said "Oh, mom and I do this to keep fr...See More

Jme I don't know if experts would call it an eating disorder,
but it certainly isn't a healthy eating habit. The
question, I guess, is what can/should an outsider do to
help? I don't know. I hope someone will have a good idea.

Annual Contract info

by Trailrider7

Dec 27, 2016

My niece is applying for jobs in Florida but claims she will only have an annual contract meaning she can be let go at anytime. I used to work in the state of Florida and am shocked this can happen. Will CTA help secure a position?

Jme It sounds like other states I've worked in over a great many years--we are on yearly contracts until we become tenured. I have worked in a state where were om annual contracts for three years. In Kentucky, we don't get tenure (permanent positions) until we shaw up for our first day of work on our fifth year. I think this is common, if not universal...See More

Some "candles" from the past. Is yours here?

by Kathleen

Dec 27, 2016

Do you remember the "Candles" teachers used to share here? I've linked to a page full of them, beginning with Kathy's. (You might find your contribution among those of current T-netters, and some who are no longer with us, except in our hearts.)

Exercise Roll - Tuesday

by men

Dec 27, 2016

I am getting back into the swing of regular exercise and went to spinning class this am. I am committed now as I got to try out my new spinning shoes. I really didn't know what to expect but it sure had a different feel to the ride. The instructor said the shoes help use the same muscles more efficiently then when I just wore my athletic shoes. It ...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Men, bet you're glad the Christmas retail frenzy has ended. New spinning shoes are a great reward and a great motivator. Happy new year to you and your shoes!

I did a 45 minute Leslie Sansonne session of walking tonight as we watched "Eddie the Eagle." Great movie. Great way to break in our new Blu-Ray. Obviously we live in the l...See More

judycaret We watch blue ray DVDs, too, ha! In fact, DD and her husband gave us a treasured Christmas gift: the complete West Wing. Dated in more ways than one are we.

I walked 10,000 steps in California cold this morning. I need to lose my 4 lb. holiday gain.

Oversharing

by A friend

Dec 26, 2016

A co-worker and I have become friends over the years. She lost her mother when she was quite young and was raised by her dad. I am several years older than she is and I am her "stand-in" mom so I am somewhere between friend and mom.

She is what I would call and "over sharer" which has come back to bite her in her profes...See More

Jme I wouldn't say anything to her about over sharing because, based on what you have shared here, I don't see evidence that she has been.

I might ask for suggestions about an ailing pet, but that wouldn't oblige me to report back to everyone about whether I followed their advice. It would be nice to thank everyone for their suggestions and g...See More

This is oversharing... I took a poop at 6:03 this morning. Ate too much Mexican the night before so this was a three flush event. So nasty, I had to take a shower. But I felt clean as a whistle inside.

I wore my pink lace undies to work cause I was feeling se xy. Regretted it after about an hour as they were scratchy and Miss Kitty needed a bit of scratching. <...See More

Just got back from an open house

by Who does this?!

Dec 18, 2016

At a colleague's house. She had great food and things to drink. But she and her husband used glass plates, glass glasses, and cloth napkins while providing paper plates/napkins and styrofoam cups to guests. She said "we hate drinking out of styrofoam."

I wouldn't have the cheeseballs to do that!
