I gave up milk in liquid form, cream, etc. But I can't let go of cheese. I just take the bloating when I don't have my lactose pills, or take double doses of the pills when I'm hitting the cheese. *happy sighs*<br /><br />Fried food. I don't eat it all the time, but I haven't met a food that isn't improved by a little deep frying. Dim Sum is an excellent example of this!<br /><br />Alcohol... I don't drink much, but if I want my chocolate soy milk frozen yogurt Amaretto "milkshake" for dessert one night out of 365, I'm going to do it. Same for drinks with vodka, rum or tequila in them. Wine unfortunately gives me migraines and I can't drink the beer because of the yeast, but I LOVE a good, cold, dry cider. It's as close to beer as I can get without the sick feeling!<br /><br />Sex... I consider it a life necessity, so it's not bad. Even if they found out "excessive" amounts gives you cancer, I'd still be all about it.Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431920357855956962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-84473983893636081342010-06-01T07:43:16.315-05:002010-06-01T07:43:16.315-05:00hrumpole - I'm with you on the hair color.

My dentist would probably like me to give up tea.<br /><br />I had to give up platform shoes thirty years ago because I couldn't find them any more. At least they lasted through college, and I managed perfectly well on them, regularly sliding down one little hill whenever there was ice.<br /><br />I suppose I can count hair colour. If I'd never started, I'd have had Phil Donahue hair before I was thirty.<br /><br />Sadly, on the whole, I just never really took to things that were all that bad.

That's not blood in my veins, it's Nawlins chicory blend.<br /><br />Big Stompy Boots -- Doc Martens, Demonias, Grinders, Fluevogs, I've got 'em. I keep getting told I'm too old to wear such things (I'm 31) but then again people were telling me that when I was 20. So I figure, fuck 'em, I'm going to wear my shiny 6-inch Frankenstein buckle platform boots and be happy.

I asked him if he wanted me to make him a BLT out of it and he just gave me The Look.<br /><br />So, besides bacon ~ the *bad* things I'm not giving up ~<br /><br />Loud music ~ It seems like everyone loses their hearing to some extent as they age, so who cares anyway? I'm shooting the moon here. I like music so loud and bass-y it becomes a part of me. The day I can't feel music anymore, I may as well just lay down and die. Quietly.<br /><br />High heels ~ People ask me all the time "How can you walk in those things?" and I scoff "How can you NOT?!" I've heard all about how they're going to give me bunions and back problems, but so far so good, and as long as I continue to look as hot in them as I do, it would be a crime against humanity to stop. I do it for the people.<br /><br />Intense movies a la The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ~ "That shit's gonna warp your mind." Oh yeah? Well that explains it then.<br /><br />Eschewing exercise ~ Hate it. Always have, always will. Unless it's swimming, dancing, or having sex, I have no interest making my body do it. And as long as it continues to look like I don't need it, that's the way it's going to stay.<br /><br />Indulging in the herb ~ I don't care for alcohol and I've never smoked cigarettes. This seems a logical compromise. Yeah... that's it.<br /><br />This California girl loves her sunshine, red meat (that category better include pork!), butter, diet coke, eggs, french fries, seafood, cheese, meat with melted cheese on it, Cheetos, fried cheese, and pie. See you all in hell, folks. :)Mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583754215885030959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-73110559920108365322010-05-28T17:26:25.526-05:002010-05-28T17:26:25.526-05:00I'm so bad I won't even go into a place th...I'm so bad I won't even go into a place that sells cigarettes. I avoid that section of the grocery store like poison. They say it's harder to kick cigarettes than it is to kick heroin. I don't know a thing about that, but I know how hard it was to quit smoking. <br /><br />I was advised to smoke by a drama/singing instructor who said my voice needed more "weight" whatever the hell that means.Aunt Messyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424781871244170075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-45359213227074212552010-05-28T16:14:39.129-05:002010-05-28T16:14:39.129-05:00I'm not giving up my diet coke.

So what?<br /><br />Also, I nearly bought a pack of cigarettes the other day because I had such a vivid dream the night before of smoking, and the flavor lingered in my mouth like a tease. Fucking dreams. ;-)<br /><br />I don't smoke anymore because it affected my singing voice. In fact, when I woke up and realized that, I quit that day and never had a nic fit, until the other day when I woke up from that dream.<br /><br />I eat what tastes good and my body likes, in portions it can handle, and I'm ok with that. I enjoy "healthy" foods like whole grains and non-sugary cerals, but I also enjoy chocolate, the darker the better.<br /><br />They say that computer screens can be bad for you, and that looking at them for too long is a bad thing. Don't care. Didn't care when they said that about video games on the tv either. I'll watch whatever pretty flickering lights I like, tyvm.<br /><br />Like you, Messy, I'm not giving up my sun exposure. However, I'm convinced I'm part cat. When it's sunny outside, I want nothing more than to go find a sunbeam to nap in. =-DMadd Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947718931795521357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-78172878805707128172010-05-28T15:30:01.420-05:002010-05-28T15:30:01.420-05:00That's what I'm talking about!

Smoke stinks. I don't care if someone else smokes, as long as I don't have to smell it, that is, they are downwind of me. Alcohols tastes yucky to me, as does anything with coconut (except pie), another "deadly" food. And seafood, the type with legs, has just always seemed too gross to consume.<br /><br />I've never been a big fan of sitting in the sun. After years of running barefoot across melted asphalt as a kid, a round of heat exhaustion, and skin which - like yours I'll bet - is either porcelain white or fire engine red, I enjoy nice, comfortable air conditioning, provided it isn't too cold.<br /><br />I'm not giving up my car. You can't get anywhere around here without one, unless you have a fast bicycle and a death wish. I'm not giving up my soft drinks, no matter how much sugar is crammed into them. I also like my fast food, at least from certain providers (none of which have "arches" of any color.) And even when I was so poor, I didn't know if I could buy my next loaf of bread before payday, I have had a pet. Not that animals are bad for you (unless you're allergic), but they can create quite an expense.CoolOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220187158350943016noreply@blogger.com
