By the way I've met a couple great friends in real life through them and my friend found her husband through this same community so I think communities can truly bring people together. But I'm a loner by nature.StarvingBitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905457524933733167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-33788905359859566692014-01-02T14:02:27.214-05:002014-01-02T14:02:27.214-05:00Wow, Cindy, I think you summed up a fundamental me...Wow, Cindy, I think you summed up a fundamental mental block really well with the misperception that adulthood means getting to do whatever you want.

So, despite the fact that I said I had no skills, I will offer my tackling services, or tacky services, whichever set gets Andrea over here.<br />I look forward to familiarizing myself with some of your other blogging readers.<br />Also, I will have you guys know that you have totally ruined my surprise. I made a collage of all of us group hugging and sharing our innermost thoughts, fears and hopes. It was totes amazeballs and now I'll go sulk in a corner and cry all over it!

Once I became a grown up I could do what I want when I want within reason. I am not sure when I am going to move past the 6 year old mind set point. I am very resistant to community because I rarely want what the group think tank wants which I suspect is actually what the loudest voices really want. The advantage of an online community is that it is much easier to choose to participate or not as you like.Cindyhttp://fatchicksfitness.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-66885755262774753322014-01-01T11:07:26.965-05:002014-01-01T11:07:26.965-05:00I'm excited about even more Crankiness!

I love all your blogposts, but particularly those that link to actual data and studies. <br /><br /> Probably most of us that spend a little too much time on the internets tend to swing a little towards the introvert side. Most of my friends tend to be extroverts (or OMG what would we talk about?), and I try to give them a little insight on how we are different. I thought this post was pretty good: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/20/introverts-signs-am-i-introverted_n_3721431.html<br /><br /> LynMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-72384616669069567862014-01-01T10:17:20.888-05:002014-01-01T10:17:20.888-05:00Yes indeed Miz, and have a wonderful 2014!Yes indeed Miz, and have a wonderful 2014!Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-65451099739392402792014-01-01T10:16:55.514-05:002014-01-01T10:16:55.514-05:00I suck at photography and am not even sure what In...I suck at photography and am not even sure what Instagram IS, so Jody anything you got for us would be most welcome.

My microwave quiche recipe started out so-called "healthy", but I never did make it exactly (substituting More Vegetables for the shrimp and scallions it called for) and somewhere along the way it stopped having crust because it was too much trouble, and nowadays I make it with two eggs instead of one, and milk instead of half-and-half because I keep milk around now, and the amount of cheese is never measured, just whatever looks like enough. Also I've been using half whole wheat flour in my cookies and cakes since sometime in the mid-70s. But I have family cake recipes that call for half a dozen eggs. So who knows what's healthy?<br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-72351399827910828662014-01-01T07:17:48.202-05:002014-01-01T07:17:48.202-05:00OOH YES!!

But - that in and...Late to the party as usual :(... But - that in and of itself probably is a good indicator of where I am on the spectrum of perky to loner. Actually - I'm both - but it kind of depends on the situation. Maybe I'm just 'inconsistent'? <br /><br />I'm a morning person, but only if I don't HAVE to get up; want desperately to be asked/invited/picked - but, then hang back or get all persnickety; love color - but end up picking out monochrome oriented fashion; like a simple life - but inevitably end up with 'complications'; the list goes on an on for this little bundle of conflicts.<br /><br />So, I am forever grateful that there is a welcome mat out at Cranky Fitness for us "like minded" folk; a place where it's equally 'safe' to rant AND support.
