Most people eat their bananas like this, right?
Raelynn has to have her banana out of the peel, or else she doesn't want to eat it. I always thought it was just her lol! And now I want a banana sandwich like I had growing up (bread, DUKES mayo, and sliced bananas). Oh, I need some more bananas! :laugh:
In the peel! I haven't had a banana and mayo sandwich in FOREVER! So yummy! Pretty sure it's a southern thing though. My mom is from SC originally but moved to IL when she married my dad. My southern cousins introduced me to it when we were visiting SC on vacation.
Yay! I'm not the only one lol! My Mama Tucker used to make them for me all the time growing up. That used to be our thing during the summer, a glass of tea, banana sandwich, and me listening to her tell stories from her childhood and young adulthood. Oh I miss those days lol!
Confession: That sounds gross to me. Bananas and mayo? Ew.
But then, my husband thinks the idea of bananas sliced up in a peanut butter sandwich is gross/really weird, and I grew up eating those--it's the only way I can stomach bananas, in fact. 
Peanut butter, banana, and honey. Omnomnom!
Ooh, that does sound good. Or syrup!0 -

On another note, I keep hearing some weird sound coming from my kitchen and I'm not sure what it could be. I told my boyfriend our apartment must be haunted or something. It almost sounds like some water is splashing on the floor violently, but I can't find anything wrong. We recently had an ant infestation so maybe a big ant is making noise in our wall as revenge for our ant murder.
Creepy. I hope you can figure out what it is. If you do, let us know.
Back in about 2009 or 2010, we had a few months were my whole family was experiencing weird things (in different locations) that I've never been able to explain to this day. It was really weird... I felt like we were all haunted for a while too.
Had a whole post on this but it got eaten, so here's myCliffNotes:
*cue creepy music and/or men in white coats to take me away, whichever you prefer*
I don't think you are crazy. Like I said it was the weirdest thing that for a couple years my whole family was experiencing weird things. Loud bangs and tapping noises, things would move on their own etc. Nothing before or since.
A lot of different things happened but here are a couple examples:
~I had a glass candle holder that was sitting behind a couple other items on a shelf. When I got home from work one day the holder was on the floor and the glass was shattered all over the carpet. For this to happen it would have had to have been picked up and moved over the other items in front of it and slammed against the soft carpet.
~I was at work and I worked at the front desk. I heard the elevator chime as I usually did when someone came up them. I heard and saw the door handle jiggle which used to happen a lot (we had glass on the sides and then a locked wooden door). I went to the door to help let the person in but no one was there. I checked the cameras for that time and couldn't see anyone pass by any of the glass windows.
I love hearing stories like this and the others that were posted...but if they happened to me? I'd cry in a corner forever.
If you get scared easily maybe avoid this haha. I don't want to give anyone nightmares.
It was scary. The worst though was just the feeling of being watched at night. I haven't had any problems with this before or since as I said (just for a while during that time period). So people will probably think I'm crazy but I would be trying to sleep and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would see something evil sitting in front of me staring into my face so I NEVER opened my eyes when I felt like that because I didn't want to see anything.
I spent a lot of nights as a child with this fear. Ever heard of 'shadow people'? When I was a kid I saw a tall shadowy figure standing in my doorway every night. I was terrified and couldn't move. This happened in three different houses, until I was about 16. Thankfully I've never seen it since, but my brother and his girlfriend saw something similar a couple years ago in his room. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned there are people worldwide who have seen something similar. We can't all be crazy, right?
Anything paranormal and I am all over it! I've had run ins with "spirits" (whatever term you go with) when I was younger, seeing them and communicating with them. Now I still have sightings but it's not as vivid as a child. I think the most vivid and scary memory I have is when I was 6 or so a close family friend and my babysitter passed away overnight from a stroke, no one knew until the morning. I have a very vivid memory of waking up in the middle of the night with her standing next to my bed, she reached out and pushed my hair out of my way and then poof gone. Finding out the next morning she had passed was terrifying, it took a long time for me to come terms with what happened.
This happened to a friend of my mom's. Her dad appeared to her when she was sitting in a bubble bath and told her that he was drowning and needed to go now, and to please take care of her mother. She found out just a few hours later that he had drowned in the sea.0 -

Can someone tell me what in the world bread and butter pickles are? :-/ They sound so weird... Does anyone actually put pickles on bread and butter?!
It's like dill or sour pickles, but it's a sweet brine as opposed to a sour one. My parents love them, I'm not that excited about them. And for the life of me, do NOT get me started on those "koolicles" or whatever they're called! Pickles and kool aid have NO business being together 0 -

I've done the same thing!! Something amazingly delicious about a warm ooey gooey mess of peanut butter and honey in a tortilla. I've also made a peanut butter and banana sub sandwich with honey drizzled over. These three ingredients are made for eachother.raelynnsmama52512 wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »

I spent the whole morning researching and talked to my husband and I think we might get to go to Peru after all in September!
There are several alternative treks to Machu Picchu other than the classic "Inca Trail" with the crowds and the permits and stuff, and after reading a ton about all of them I decided that the Salkantay trek would probably be an even better option for us. It's quieter, you don't need a permit, it is BEAUTIFUL, and it's higher-altitude (up to 15,900 ft) and more challenging than the usual trail (but they are able to use pack animals so we'd have llamas to carry our backpacks). I've emailed the linked tour company to see if they have space available and I hope so, because we'd still get to trek and see Machu Picchu but would get to do it in a totally different way. I'm so freaking excited and I am hoping so much that we can get on a tour!
Look at this! I think we have to do it this way even if we have to put it off until May because it looks amazing and so much better than the beaten path....

Totally not crazy!! This used to happen to me too. I actually talked to a doctor who specialized in sleep disorders when I worked at hospital. He used the term sleep paralysis. IIRC it has something to do with REM and your sleep patterns. Thankfully it hasn't happened it years. Was terrifying.0 -

I've had this disorder for the better part of three years, and living with a chronic disease long-term means you learn how to manage it well (as I'm sure @Italian_Buju can attest to) or you're doomed. I learned all the little nuances and whispers of my body and when to stop and take it easy. But after a six month respite from any sort of flares, I got overconfident and stopped paying attention.
In hindsight, as an ill person, I KNEW and still know that I'm not capable of 60 minutes of stationary bike PLUS 36 flights of stairs PLUS a one hour walk, especially not when I'm fasting, which makes me much more prone to weakness. But I did that TWO DAYS IN A ROW without even thinking about it. So this flare up is all my stupid fault, and I'm pretty mad at me. I'm also mad at my body for not being healthy, which is a common resentment I have that always comes to the fore when I get sick. Stupid body, stupid me, stupid everything.
I would give my daughter a time out for saying stupid.
Please stop being so hard on yourself. You're super great!! I don't know anything about FND but it sounds very difficult to deal with. Continued prayers for your quick recovery. & Thank goodness for Mr SusieQ taking care of you.
Shall I go park myself in a corner for twenty minutes? It's one minute per year of life, right...
My favorite website to reference when people ask about FND is the website www.fndhope.org, but it seems to be down right now.
Yup, thank goodness for my husband--there's nobody more awesome than he is. Prayers are appreciated!
I went to that site a couple days ago to learn about your condition. I'm so glad you are doing better!0 -

I am in this camp. I like dill, bread & butter, sweet gherkin and all relish.
Me too!
Can someone tell me what in the world bread and butter pickles are? :-/ They sound so weird... Does anyone actually put pickles on bread and butter?!
It's like dill or sour pickles, but it's a sweet brine as opposed to a sour one. My parents love them, I'm not that excited about them. And for the life of me, do NOT get me started on those "koolicles" or whatever they're called! Pickles and kool aid have NO business being together
I have never heard of koolicles and it doesn't sound like something I would ever try. EWE0 -

GUYSGUYSGUYSYOUGUYS.
I spent the whole morning researching and talked to my husband and I think we might get to go to Peru after all in September!
There are several alternative treks to Machu Picchu other than the classic "Inca Trail" with the crowds and the permits and stuff, and after reading a ton about all of them I decided that the Salkantay trek would probably be an even better option for us. It's quieter, you don't need a permit, it is BEAUTIFUL, and it's higher-altitude (up to 15,900 ft) and more challenging than the usual trail (but they are able to use pack animals so we'd have llamas to carry our backpacks). I've emailed the linked tour company to see if they have space available and I hope so, because we'd still get to trek and see Machu Picchu but would get to do it in a totally different way. I'm so freaking excited and I am hoping so much that we can get on a tour!

I can barely sit still right now, I'm so excited about this. It looks awesome. So much cooler than the classic Inca Trail thing. I'm going to be checking my email every fifteen minutes until I hear if they have any dates open this fall for it. We're going to need to get to the Rockies every weekend for conditioning but it will be so worth it, 18km days and crazy elevation and all. I think we're in decent shape for it already - we're both in good cardiovascular health and hike a lot in the mountains in the summer and ski in the winter, so we're used to altitude and long steep days, but 15,900 ft is going to be a challenge for sure.
The stats are:
Starting Altitude - 2900m / 9515ft.
Highest Altitude - 4650m / 15,200ft
Walking Distance - 60.5 km / 37.5 miles
Longest Day - Day 2, approximately 18 km/11 miles
We've got to get practicing!0 -
That looks so gorgeous @peleroja ! I'm adding myself into the group of people that will live vivaciously through you.0

I confess that I'm feeling seriously munchy (Munchie? Munchy? Both look wrong and the word is annoying me. I JUST WANT TO MUNCH, OKAY.) right now. The only thing stopping me is that I can't walk as far as the kitchen or fetch any food myself, and also that we don't really have anything appealing to eat in the house. We're down to the bare bones in groceries because I'm usually the one dragging my husband to the store and I can't walk.
... Even if we did have food, I still can't think of anything I actually want to eat. This is just weird.0 -

Not saying you are big, but that seems like a lot of watermelon, are you peeing every 5 minutes, I would be.0 -

I would, but I'll be honest and say that I'm too chicken. You're going to get absolutely flamed for saying anything other than "OH MY GOSH YOU'RE SO SUPER AWESOME." I can't see this being pretty or ending well. 0
