Men-free Zone ~ The Non-romantic Relationship Thread

Fall is coming, fall is coming!!! I am so excited. I need to get my fall pumpkin decor together to put up. This time of year is my happy time. I went out with friends Saturday night, had a hot toddy and it was just right on time. DS and I are going to New York next week, I am hoping it's real fall weather there so he can experience it - we don't get the real fall feel here to me.

I am enjoying my non-dating adventures. I have been stepping up my skincare, my skin is looking so good. I have been cooking, mainly meatless stuff, and so far I have made all stuff that tastes good and can give me lunch leftovers for a couple days. I think my next thing is going to be cutting my hair down on the sides some and coloring it. I also want to re-piece my nose, my nose swole up so awfully during pregnancy that my nose ring popped out and I am just getting around to redoing it. That may be my birthday treat in October.
 
Yooooooooooo!!!!! Ole girl sent me a text saying that she took the day off work to go sit up at the Olive Garden. I asked her what kind of pasta did she get for takeout....Let me just say, homegirl did not come to play with these Olive Garden hoes!!!!

"I brought back eight boxes of pasta. Spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccini with mushroom sauce, fettuccini with alfredo sauce spaghetti with meat sauce, the corkscrew pasta with artichoke and cream, rigatoni with marnara and another corkscrew pasta with 5 cheese sauce or something. It was delicious. I just ate soup, salad and breadsticks and flirted with the waiter so he let me order everything at once."

At $10.99 each dish she already got my moneys worth out of the card on day 1 and it doesn't expire until 11/26.

Olive Garden's Pasta Pass goes on sale Thursday, but pasta lovers will have to act fast

Olive Garden is opening its annual window of unlimited pastabilities. Its Never Ending Pasta Pass returns, allowing some lucky superfans to fulfill their carb-laden dreams for 56 days.

The restaurant chain will put 23,000 all-you-can-eat passes up for sale at 2 p.m. EDT Thursday. They'll be available for 30 minutes or until they sell out, whichever comes first, said Jennifer Arguello, Olive Garden executive vice president of marketing. Last year, the passes were claimed in one second, Arguello said.

“To not have to think about what to have for dinner for a full eight weeks was heaven,” said Julie Boyer of Citrus County, Florida. Last year, she managed to snag a couple of passes for her husband and herself.
Boyer and her husband managed to eat 64 meals combined and, for their $200 investment, yielded a tab of nearly $1,100 worth of pasta.

“We were both getting tired of pasta by the end, but it was definitely worth it.”

New this year for the fifth-annual promotion is the introduction of an Annual Pasta Pass for $300. The 1,000 passes also go on sale 2 p.m. Thursday at www.pastapass.com.

Some white lady just messaged me on Facebook saying that she found me on Ancestry and that I was a DNA match to her daughter. I checked her profile and she does have a daughter who is very obviously biracial and she looks like my father. WTF.

What!?
Please tread lightly. I don't trust people.

How are you feeling?

My cousin can be low level annoying. A friend I know through my cousin put together a girl's trip. It's myself, my cousin, her and 2 other women. On one of the days we're taking a day trip to the Grand Canyon. My cousin keeps referring to it as "crap canyon" and it is so annoying. Like it was 2% funny the first time she said it because we were all like did she really just call it that. Now it's like ok, we got it, you don't want to see it. The girl organizing the trip already said if there's an activity you don't want to do you can hang back, you won't hurt her feelings.

To be even more annoying she asked if we were getting strippers. Strippers in the middle of Arizona?? For what? I'm sure she was joking but it wasn't even funny.

Anywho the Grand Canyon is on my bucket list so I'm looking forward to it

I had to come back and say that:

1. She was actually serious about the strippers but has since realized it ain't happening

2. Will Smith jumping out of a helicopter at the Grand Canyon yesterday has her converted.

I can't help but laugh.
 
I been on infant duty for the last couple days and

I don't know how ya'll made it until they could talk and tell you dubya-tee-*** they crying for.
 
My birthday went really well! I had so much fun! My Bff and her significant other came as well as my SO and their friends. It was cool to see both our group of friends interacting together!

Something I realized I need to work on is the way I treat SOs friends. I have only known them since April/May and I am kind of a standoffish feel out people type of person. And to SOs friends it’s perceived that I don’t like them. Which isn’t the case it just takes me awhile to open up to people that’s all. Even though some times I can have an attitude.

I am so proud of my friends new hustle. Her co-workers have been seeing all her olive garden containers and was asking what's up so she told them about the card. That worked out to now folks are paying her $5 to bring them an entrée and breadsticks. She cleaning up with her little free card.

Next year I'm getting myself a card before they sell out. I think if I got the annual pass I'd never eat pasta again in my life but 8 weeks is a good stretch.
 
It's taken years but I've finally been convinced to take a skinny person vacation. What's that you ask? A skinny person vacation is somewhere with beaches and clothing so small that it can fit in your pocket is worn.

We going to Hawaii!

Everything I know about Hawaii, I learned from the Brady Bunch and the Asian food section. So this will be an adventure.

I have been wanting to go to Hawaii, it's so reasonable from the west coast. I can't justify the cost from other places it's like $800 for the ticket. Go get your skinny person life!
 
@BonBon
If the person always pays back and it’s a small amount that I could afford to lose, and they were otherwise kind, loving, and added value to my life, I might go ahead and loan them the money. If the person made me feel disrespected and like I was a bank or atm, I wouldn’t. I also would wonder if the person was working up to asking for larger amounts. For the most part, I personally would be irked too and would just say no, I don’t have it to loan out. You don’t have to explain why as it’s your money. Or you could just say it’s a rule you live by, to not loan money. Also, I would be careful to not judge her or meddle or try to advise her on how to budget, plan better, etc. As it’s her business how she manages her money. Assuming she is an adult and you two are on equal footing with one another. I would say no and not give it another thought.
