I personally feel like it's a good way to winnow out the people that aren't worth your time. If someone blows up like that *I once had a girl tell me to drop dead because I wouldn't jog in place shirtless for her on cam* they go immediately on my block list, no matter how long I've been chatting with them. Problem solved!

While we're on the subject again *huzzah for post necromancy*, how about Peanut butter and Mustard sammiches? Yum *also ketchup isn't bad with peanut butter and I also like peanut butter and mayo*

And one more thing.

Chocolate. Covered. Bacon!!

I haven't tried it but ever since hearing about it I've been obsessed with the concept...I must have it! lol

It's a close draw for me, the first situation is when, as a child *5 or 6 years old I forget which* I was attacked by a huge, blind, St. Bernard. The dog's head was nearly the size of my entire body at the time and there were a few seconds where I was literally inside the dogs mouth, before my dad kicked it in the ribs. After that it took years for me to overcome my fear of large dogs, I wouldn't go near them at all until I was nearly 18 years old.

The second situation was many years later, I was a sophomore in highschool and my older brother was taking an automotive course at the Vo-Tech institute that was affiliated with our school. There was an accident and my brother's hand was cut down to the bone *to this day he has a large scar on that hand*. But that's not the rumor that got back to the school. I heard everything from his hand was cut off to his whole arm to he bled to death on the way to the hospital. I was terrified and I didn't hear otherwise until after I got home from school that day.

Two more cents for this thread.

I don't think, and have never thought, that evolution and science were completely at odds with religion and creationism. This is something that I've posted about before. I'm of the opinion that open minded people will be able to see the parallels between these so-called "conflicting" theories.

I wouldn't say either was really more attractive. It really depends on preference, and one preference that the majority of us here have is we like fat people. So I'd say that gaining is awesome, no matter whether the person doing it is already fat or on the slimmer side.

That's awesome that he came out of the coma, I hope he makes a full recovery and is back on his feet soon.

I was only ever conflicted right at the beginning of my forray into intentional gaining. That was way back when I was about 13 years old.

I was already a very chubby boy, and I already got picked on a lot. But even with that I knew that I didn't want to be thin, it was the last thing I wanted and was often the furthest thought from my brain *except during Phys. Ed. testing weeks but that's another matter*.

Basically I figured since I was already being made fun of if I was fatter there wouldn't be much difference. And since I made the decision to gain the jabs didn't hurt nearly as much because I knew it was what I wanted and it made me feel really free and good about myself.

Keep a food diary for a few days, don't increase your eating immediately. See where you can add more calories to each meal and where you have time for a few big snacks. Remember it's not bingeing that make people huge, it's just eating more food in a more sustained fashion.

That being said, bingeing can help a little. And another thing that can really boost your calorie count is making your own custom weight gain shakes. Just take things you like and mix them together to make a rich, thick, fattening masterpiece. For instance, I prefer a shake made with vanilla or chocolate ice cream with a half packet of pudding mix, whipped cream, a generous portion of peanut butter, and of course made with heavy cream or half'n'half.

The key to success here is to make your own plan though, something that worked for someone else might not work for you so you'll have to experiment a little. *again the food diary is helpful here if you pair it with a gaining chart, this way you'll be able to see the effectiveness of your diet changes*
