    Can we just cancel today? :unamused:
    As I've mentioned, hubby is out of town, and now just so happens to be the perfect time for Raelynn to get sick. As in, puking all over the bathroom and kitchen sick. She refuses to eat, just wants water, and is currently lying down in her bed watching a movie as that's all she wants to do. Not to mention, the actual act of vomiting was enough to trigger one of her daily multiple anxiety attacks. Needless to say, at this point neither one of us is concerned at all about eating and not really doing much of anything else either. :frowning:

    I think cancelling today is a terrific idea. We could just fast-forward to tomorrow.

    Yes, let's call a do-over.

    Oh no! I'm SO sorry! I hope she feels better soon. Hopefully it is just something that passes quickly and that the change of her father being away won't affect her any more than this.

    That's a great looking truck, if I didn't live 25 miles from work or gas was cheap again I'd totally buy a 50's era Dodge Power Wagon to commute. Love the old iron, pretty sure I was born 3 decades too late.

    We have had people come up to us and ask to take pictures of it. We were at Wal-Mart one night and a guy rolled up asked if it'd be okay if he took a picture of the truck with his wife. I thought it was very odd, Mr. Mo said it happens all the time. I have to admit, I feel like a bad mamajamma when I drive it. :blush:

    I'm sure you know this, but for identity purposes and for your safety, make sure that they don't get your license plate in the photos. Otherwise, yeah, I can completely see why someone would want to take a picture with it!

    @AngryViking1970 and @WestCoastJo82 Thanks I probably will. An evening that doesn't involve talking about Spongebob , farts or other bodily functions might be nice!

    Oh my gosh! I LOLed! My son's eleven, and it hasn't got much better.

    Although we did have a fairly lengthy discussion yesterday about the American welfare system. And I was thinking the whole time, "My 11 year old son has an opinion on the welfare system. Is that normal?" For everyone's edification, he's a raging Republican on that issue. :D

    Haha that is great!

    I don't like that this was on page 4 and told me there were no new updates :( I had a hard time finding it.

    So my confession- I hopped on the scale this morning, was SUPER excited when I saw my weight because I thought it put my BMI in the normal range (25). Turns out < 25 is "normal" *sigh* That was a pretty big letdown. Hopefully it means in a couple days I can claim it, though. SO close! But I did hit a new low and I haven't been this weight in about 3 years, so that was cool.

    I wanted to celebrate normal BMI with a new pair sunglasses and I'm bummed :( I saw the exact pair I want on 6pm.com but they're $36 and I'm cheap. So I'll just wait.

    Whoo hoo! Happy dance!

    This reminds me. Not long ago I bought a Mad Libs book for my son at the checkout, because I always ALWAYS buy something there and I was in the candy free line. Do you have any idea how seamlessly you can fit the word 'turd' into any part of speech?

    If there was any doubt, I am not having discussions with my 10 year old about politics. LOL

    I may have some idea except in our house replace turd with poop :)

    @Just_Ceci I want to thank you for suggesting the trial contacts. I am on my second round and I think they may work. The doctor ordered 2 more trials but I won't get those until after I get back from vacation. Also, I can't believe how thick the Toric lenses are. I was pretty proud of myself for being able to put them in and take them out without issue after no having had contacts for more than 5 years.

    I used to wear Toric lenses (I probably still should but I've been getting the regular disposables with the eye doctor's approval).

    I was ALWAYS ripping the toric ones on accident when I took them out when I was younger. I'm surprised I'm not blind because as a teen I would just wear them with the holes in them since back then they were really expensive and I didn't want to tell my parents that I ripped them.

    I'm glad that you are able to wear contacts still. :)

    They're still really expensive. I would love to wear just the regular ones, but my astigmatism is so bad, I might as well not even be wearing one at all if I'm going to wear a non toric lens. I hate being blind. :(

    ok guys I am on the fence about something. I got asked out on a date this weekend. I don't date because in reality I don't have a lot of free time and I am certainly not wanting to take any time away from my son. But in spite of all this I am considering going. What's a girl to do?

    Go. Enjoy. Doesn't have to be serious or time consuming. YOU set the boundaries! Give a try. You never know, right?

    I think this is awesome advice!

    Wow that's a lot of cats (super cute, too)! I forget who else had a bunch, including a pregnant porch kitty, you might might give that person a run for their money in the cat hoarding war ;)


    That would be @pofoster21, if I'm not mistaken. And my family owns 14 cats, so I think they beat everyone. O.o
    Yes, thank you...I was just about to respond that it was POF. And I would say that 14 is definitely the winner!!
    5 is definitely our limit...it is just so hard to turn away a cat in need. :(

    Man, Toric lenses are still so expensive (at least at my prescription), but I can't imagine wearing them ripped! ouch. I was really sad when I went to the eye doctor a few weeks ago and found out that my eye sight is still getting progressively worse, and unfortunately they don't make contacts for astigmatism much higher than what I have now (-7.5 power, -2.25 cyl... the highest cyl is -2.75 and is only available in one of my two brands that fit). I'll be really sad if I have to go back to glasses or get surgery in a couple years. I prefer contacts so much, and only wear my glasses when I have to.

    Also, @riderfangal, I think you should go and have fun... :)

    I want to thank the person (sorry, I forget who it was) that recommended the Fiber One Lemon bar! I even froze it like someone (may have even been the same person) suggested! Yummmm!!

    And @kellienw335, Our neighbor is allergic to cats. Our littlest and newest member, Skye (aka the beast) showed up at her house just before a huge snowstorm in January. She called me to see if I could help and well, here we are with five cats again.

    I'm not exactly sure if it's her being upset about her daddy being gone or if she's got some kind of bug. I did have to break the news last night that daddy wouldn't be coming home for a few days, and that broke her little heart. I'm almost wondering if her drinking some diet dr pepper here lately could have something to do with it or not, because that's pretty much what came up. *sorry, tmi*

    My son and I were playing outside a little earlier and I noticed just how bad our rose bushes and flower garden have gotten overrun with weeds. I started pulling the weeds and of course, he wanted "to help"...so I let him toss the pulled weeds into a pile. Anyway, some neighbors walked by and started chatting with him and asked what he was up to. His reply? "Just doing weed with Mama"!! I almost died....and quickly cleared it up that we were WEEDING not doing weed.

    I loved that! I can almost hear his tiny little voice saying it. Mind you, I have no idea what your son sounds like, but I can picture it and it's adorable! :smiley:

    Is it me or is it mostly women posting here? Did we scare off most of the men?

    We have xMrBunglex and Uncle Fester sometimes. We ran off the rest with our talk of TOM, bras, breastfeeding and whatever else. :D

    I confess I was actually going to post TODAY that my confession is that I think I run off all the men in this thread. Example:
    -- I asked @tincanonastring if he worked at my company, he asked me if I was stalking him (I deduced where he came from by his posts) and within a week he was gone.
    -- I started engaging with @AgentOrangeJuice on messaging (he expressed sympathy about Oberon, I asked him about his new job, etc.) he disappeared.
    -- @flatasapancake posted a new chest picture, I said impressive! You are slowly working your way around your body, is your *kitten* next and he never came back.

    I have checked on all of them...they are all still posting (not much from @AgentOrangeJuice though so he may truly be busy).

    Like in real life, I scare all the men away. Sigh.

    No, do not blame yourself! It's kind of funny, when you type it out like that, but I highly doubt it has anything to do with you!

    Perhaps not but I am not a big believer in coincidence. But luckily mixmode has promised to stick around and I haven't scared off xMrBunglex yet....

    Nah, it wasn't you. I had to take a forum hiatus to attend to IRL stuff and by the time I came back, it was 1000 comments later and I just never picked back up in this thread. Those other guys, though...that was you!

    Confession: I promised to catch up on all the missed posts in this thread and I am fully committed to breaking that promise. No regrets...y'all post too much! :tongue:

    Yay!! Welcome back @tincanonastring!!

    Has anyone seen @ShibaEars? I miss her

    No worries. When it comes to our kids we have to find out what the source is so that hopefully it won't be repeated. I hope it was just the soda and that it is out of her system now. Pretty sure your day can only improve from here, right??? Hope so.

    @quiksylver296, Easton West is great! I saw something where they said they weren't going to name him South West, but who knows. More importantly, WHO CARES??? (I do feel sorry for the kids spawned from these types of famous people. Makes me wonder if they ever get to be "normal" or even know what it means.)

    I have never had a Pop Tart.

    They sound...not delicious.

    I had them a couple times when I was younger and wasn't impressed. People in this thread have raved about them! Keep telling myself how dry and tasteless they were so I won't buy any!

    Considering the heat of the summers in Oman, when I was a kid we used to buy them and leave the foil packets on the dashboard of the car on the way home. Then they were all warm and soft and melty... Mmm. I can definitely think of better desserts, but I still love poptarts!

    @pofoster21 It's all so pretty! We just live in a rented apartment, so I have to live with the terrible plastic cupboards and nasty uneven counters. I don't mind it, though--as tiny as it is, it's the best kitchen I've had in a long time, and best of all, it's ALL MINE. ;)

    We rent too, and my kitchen is...something. It's a shame, because it's got high-end, stainless, new Samsung appliances and is very, very modern, but it is NOT MY STYLE AT ALL. We have shiny red cupboards, stainless steel backsplash, stark white countertops and tile floor and bright white nuclear holocaust lighting, and it's just the opposite of what I would have chosen (anything but that fingerprint-y awful stainless...whites and pale blues and light woods, maybe with some navy and red accents, nothing lacquered and nothing stark.)

    Objectively it is a stylish kitchen but I hate it a lot. And we have a tiny highrise apartment so it's a narrow galley kitchen too and I would give my right toes for decent counter space and more storage.

    Your kitchen sounds like mine! Tasteless and ugly. ;) I do have all those shiny Samsung appliances (they didn't come with the apartment though, we bought those ourselves), but there's VERY little kitchen space, no air conditioner (you would only know how torturous this is if you lived in the Gulf. My kitchen settles at 30C/86F in the early afternoon), and there's hardly even space to turn around. The cabinets are shiny and plastic and cheap, and half of the doors were already broken when we moved in because they weren't installed properly.

    I still love it though, because I enjoy cooking and baking and my kitchen is my haven for making all kinds of stuff. When I visit family I miss having my cozy little kitchen with all of my dishes and spices and such, knowing where everything is, having everything you need on hand, etc. It's just so nice to have your own place, even when it isn't perfect! :)

    I wish there was a machine that Rosie had on the Jetsons that popped out whatever food item you wanted. Oh you want a hot fudge sundae well here you go. Pizza with whatever toppings you want? Flies right out & lands on a plate.
    I would stand in front of it and say "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."

    "Fries. Extra crispy. No calories."

    This. On every food.

    ETA: On second thought - I would like to change the "no calories" to "exact macros." No matter what I order in the day, cherry cheesecake, bacon cheeseburger, and tater tots, I want it to exactly hit my calories and macros for the day.

    I almost included "extra protein", but then didn't. Should have.
