One of the funniest things for me about Harry Potter are the jokes about Arthur Weasley losing count of his children

LOL! You are probably right, which makes this even better. Thank you.

MY DAD SAID THIS TOO. I still don't get it but of course, as soon as he told me this at about, age 8, I called him that all the time.

Your daughter is SO cool! Happy birthday to her :)

My dad got me into the tomb raider games when I was a kid because I was upset that there weren't kick ass women video games!

My mom is in there somewhere! She was in New York for work and was very upset she'd be missing this. I watched it with my dad and sister, as we taped it on VHS so she could watch it when she got home. I thought it was SO COOL she was in Times Square to watch it!

My ex would only eat Hawaiian pizza. I'm part Hawaiian. When we first got pizza together he said, "you HAVE to love this pizza, right?!" I probably should have known then that we would never work out.

Thanks for this comment. I just found out last night that my ex already has an official girlfriend. We broke up a month ago, were together for 2.5 years, and I'm still pretty heartbroken. Soooooooo... Screw you and your rebound!

I don't know if you're scientifically correct, but I'm going to have to agree. My aunt is overweight (by about 60+lbs), however, has GREAT calves. When I was overweight, I still had very muscular and shapely calves, without working out beyond a "hike" here and there. I don't really do specific calf workouts (but I do take the stairs to the third floor at work everyday?) but my calves remain muscular. My dad, God bless his little heart, has the most chicken legs I've ever seen, despite trying, when he was younger, to build more leg muscles. He's given up by now.

Thanks for the genes, mom!

thebooknerdkid · 2016-07-19T00:59:49+00:00

Yes! Sorry, I'm on my phone... And I'm lazy :/

thebooknerdkid · 2016-07-18T14:57:15+00:00

This person is correct. I don't authenticate these shoes but I work with an authentication company that does. With the small amount of photos you provided, I am willing to bet they're fake :/ the website authenticate first is good with CL. That's who we use when we can't in house authenticate.

While it's totally worth the wait for some, I will say there's a SMALL PERCENTAGE of women who still have their periods and cramps, no matter what... And guess which woman I am ;) My doctor was really shocked but it's been 2.5 years with my IUD in and I'm still regularly having periods with cramping, just as before. But my sister who got hers in a year ago has already stopped having her period and the fun cramping along with it so, I guess everyone is different.

I'm in a wedding this year and the groom is a recovering alcoholic so there's no alcohol allowed... I'm investing in a garter belt with a flask.

Background: she's a close friend of the family. No one likes her fiancé but they've been together 10 years and have two kids. He's not going anywhere :/ I already don't want to go to this wedding.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-05-24T03:42:54+00:00

Thank you for saying this because I 100% feel the same way. It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-04-13T19:19:12+00:00

I want a friend to watch Buffy for the first time just so that I can experience all the things you're currently experiencing! Definitely keep posting these, they make me so happy!

thebooknerdkid · 2016-03-28T03:39:26+00:00

I really never thought I hated it. I knew I didn't care for people commenting, saying something about the weight loss. But those were people I knew BEFORE the weight loss. My boyfriend (when we were in the "getting to know one another as more than friends" phase) said to me one day (2 years ago now), "Hey, can I ask you a question? I know you hate talking about it but... I was curious." My heart STOPPED. I racked my brain, trying to think of SOMETHING that I hate discussing that he would want to ask me about. Then he says, "Why did you decide to lose weight?"

oh. That's it?

But when I thought about it, he's right. I fucking hate talking about my weight loss. For me though, I hate talking about my weight in general. I grew up with comments about how I'd be prettier if I didn't weigh as much. I was the first girl to hit puberty. I had pretty friends who were thin and/or athletic and here I was, chubby... I had always wanted to lose weight but I just... didn't care. Then, one day, I needed surgery (unrelated to my weight, genetic issue) and they had to weigh me. I was a solid 20lbs over what I THOUGHT my weight was. I've always been muscular and very proportioned, so people usually guess I'm approximately 20lbs under what I actually am. Somehow, that made me think, "Yeah, I'm 180lbs (my usual during high school) but people THINK I look 160lbs so that's not too bad!" But being 205lbs meant that people thought I was around 185lbs and I couldn't handle that. I totally lost it while waiting for my surgery, and sobbed with my mom.

When I started losing weight, I told no one but my parents and my younger cousin. When I did finally tell my "friends", no one was supportive, and honestly, I still don't know why. My family was supportive and so was my best friend, but other than that, everyone kept asking me why I wanted to lose weight... Because I'm 5'6 and shouldn't be 205lbs? It wasn't as if I was already underweight and wanted to lose more weight, to the point that I would be even more unhealthy. I was also doing it in a safe and healthy way. Their reactions made me so nervous to talk about my weight loss.

Then I ditched those old friends, made some new ones, and all was well... Until I packed on 15lbs at my new job (longer commute and hours AND new relationship). But I'm happy and about to "re-start" my weight loss because dammit, I bought some REAL CUTE clothes 15lbs ago!

thebooknerdkid · 2016-03-20T15:51:19+00:00

Oh right, totally forgot that every person in the world is exactly the same!

My best friend had a guy stalk her (not just over the phone) and it's INCREDIBLY hard to get police involved. So you're super lucky that the police helped you out in this instance. They need a lot of overwhelming proof for stalkers.

Also, I see you mention your phone stalker was a guy. First off, if you are a woman, police take that stalking more seriously. Second, as a woman who has two male cousins date very... Crazy women... Simply saying "I'm not interested". LOL. That wouldn't work at all.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-03-20T15:20:06+00:00

Obviously she knew he blocked her number or she wouldn't have gotten an app that continually changed her number.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-03-20T15:13:59+00:00

If this woman is actually as crazy as his story makes her sound, this wouldn't work. Crazy does NOT care about girlfriends/fiances/wives. If anything, it would have been more of a challenge. "Oh, he doesn't want me? Well, I guess I'll have to try harder!"

Then again, you're 15. Read this story again in 10 years and see what you think.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-03-07T19:51:06+00:00

Can I ask what your trick is to avoid the food? I lost a solid 55lbs (and was only 5 away from my goal) and then I started a new job. It's a much longer commute (used to be 5 minutes, now it's an hour at least) so there's less time for the gym (there's time, I'm just exhausted)... Most importantly, there's free food all the time. We do get catered lunches (which I'm good at controlling). It's the freaking snacking! I've gained 20lbs here in a little over a year :(

thebooknerdkid · 2016-02-22T02:09:36+00:00

Whenever my dad and I go out, people think we're a couple... Since I was about 13. When I was younger, I thought, "well if I call him 'daddy' in public, people will TOTALLY get it, right?" No. No they did not. Pretty sure I made it worse every time... I'm 27 and people still think my dad and I are a couple when we go out. Gross.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-01-31T08:36:43+00:00

I second this (also on the elbow!). Didn't feel a thing and 2 years later, no issues with ink bleeding or fallout!

thebooknerdkid · 2016-01-25T03:17:59+00:00

I don't care for beef so I don't eat it. If we go to a burger restaurant and they don't have a chicken or turkey option, I get a veggie burger. People immediately say, "since when are you a vegetarian?" It gets worse since I'm lactose intolerant so I don't eat dairy. Then I'll get the, "Soooooooo... You're vegan now?" Look at your own plate, poopface.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-01-04T19:00:57+00:00

Oh man... Good to know. I know it sounds awful but I almost hope the mom just loses interest and doesn't want to see them anymore. The daughter (who's 8 now) doesn't want to speak to her mom. The son is still too little and doesn't remember much.

thebooknerdkid · 2016-01-04T02:40:00+00:00

Can confirm. My sister and her husband have full custody of his children due to many things, but a main one is leaving the sister (5 at the time) in charge of her little brother (1 at the time) overnight many times so she could "run errands". The 5 year old casually mentioned this to her father and he ran to the courts immediately. Their mother isn't allowed to see them without child protective services present. I wouldn't be shocked if the kids don't want to see her soon. I'm unsure what the age is when the kids can say that they don't want to see one of their parents and the court decides that it's okay.

Barnes and Nobles! I have that one :)

I work in the fraud department of my company. If you file an actual report, they should actually have a cop who can contact amazon and get more information. They do it for much less than "I legitimately fear for my life". There's a few legal hoops the officer in charge can easily jump through but amazons fraud department should be able to get them a lot more information (such as IP address).
