i've never heard of that name

i think it starts with a b...? oh and it's kind of a brownish color and sticky

 
I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a newbie to this website. My names Mary, I'm from a suburb outside of Boston. I love makeup, it's like an obsession with me, you can never have too much. Well just wanted to say hi!

What I miss most is all the freebies, the first look at new products before introduction to the public, did I mention the freebies. When I left I had a whole trunk full of every EL product and many, many multiples, full size, sample size, ahhhh those were good days.

1) I'm new to this website and still figuring out how to go about everything from posting messages to creating my notepad, etc., etc. etc...

2) I live in Los Angeles with my hubby and 11 year old daughter. Been here for over 20 years. Born in the US but raised in the Philippines up until I was 18 (minus 3 years of that was spent in Scotland)

3) Just started getting into MAC makeup and I love their eyeshadows. Still having problems combining colors and how and where to apply them. Have been getting some ideas from all of you and it has been a great help. My sister thinks I'm crazy spending so much in skincare products and makeup-she's not into any of this.

4) I work full time as a nurse in a nursing home-been here forever!

5) I like to watch scary movies only if I have company, but I hate the feeling after the movie is over (especially if the movie is watched at night)- can't go anywhere without someone with me.

Just Me,

Jeanie

I'm like "I know it starts with an M. Dr. Melbourne??" he starts laughing at me. and he's like "Melbourne??? It's Dr. Hambley!!!" LOL! I have no idea how i came up with Melbourne....?

You welcome! That's okay it happens to me too all the time. My hubby always gives me this strange look on his face each time it happens.

 
Ugh... will never eat balut. Ugh, yuck. Also will never eat dinaguan again- I got tricked into eating it by my neighbors @ their New Year's party. They wouldn't tell me what it was until after I ate it. Sooo gross!

Originally Posted by Liz i will not eat balut or dinaguan. i'm really picky about meat. lol. so i won't eat like liver or any other kind of intestine stuff. lol.
 
Pretty sure it's chicken. But maybe it's both.

I got tricked into eating balut too,( I think I was about 10 years old then) I think it was my dad who told me to eat it in the dark. So I go into my dad's office with the lights off and started drinking it's juice (which I was told to do first after cracking the shell) then I felt something hairy and bony so out of curiosity I turned on the lights and I had biggest shock of my life

!!! Since then I never tried it and will never, ever ear that!!! They did the same thing to me with the dinuguan-told me after eating it- don't eat that stuff too!
Just Me,

I would have been so mad. I can understand that there are differences in cuisine in other countries, but that just makes me ill.
 
Thanks for the info Nicole and Charmaine. I really don't think I can make myself eat that either. I always try every dish from each country but I can't try balut.

Originally Posted by Charmaine Actually, that's a pretty good description! Yes, it's considered a delicacy in the Philippines, and a lot of people I know like it. They usually have vendors walking around late at night yelling out "Balut! Balut!" so the people in the houses can hear them and purchase some. I guess a lot of people eat it at night. If you dare, do a google search and I'm sure some pictures will pop up. Just beware as it is pretty graphic.
 
Welcome to MuT, Maryb & MAC@40! Nice to have you both! I'm Janelle from NY - great to meet you!
