    @Italian_Buju - what are the six kinds of cheese in your refrigerator? I currently have cottage, cream, shredded Colby-jack, mozzarella, parmesan and Kraft singles for my boys to make grilled cheese for their lunches. I ate a piece of that yesterday between my toast and scrambled egg whites for breakfast because I am tragically out of Swiss and provolone.

    There are things we agree on, let's talk about those. :)

    I think it was me that said I have 6 kinds of cheese - when I go to list them, it's actually more.

    I have:

    Canadian Cheddar
    Marble
    Laughing cow
    Cream cheese
    Cottage cheese
    A nice chunk of Parmesan
    Cheese slices for my husband
    Mozzarella
    Swiss
    Baby Bel Gouda
    Thunder Oak Gouda ( thunder oak is a local cheese farm)
    Havarti
    Armstrong herb and garlic cheese snacks ( I think they are cheddar based)

    We like cheese. :)

    Oh, I love cheese! And I apologize for missing who posted about six kinds in the fridge. My brain doesn't hold names as well as I wish it did and I should have gone back and looked. I just didn't want to take the time. I am not good at it, but I do know when it's time to change the subject.

    Gouda needs to go on my grocery list.

    It's 4:20 am and I'm a little annoyed I'm up. I'm crampy and my husband is snoring. I'm going to be tired later.

    Ugh! Cramps are the worst. Feel better soon.

    I suck at baking but I'm very good at eating and cleaning up afterwards!
    I love to bake but I hate cleaning up messes. :( I was so jealous of Mrs. Weasley in Harry Potter. All she had to do was wave her wand and the dishes would clean themselves!!! Where is that in my life :(

    I have always wanted Rosie the Robot from the Jetsons cartoon, but a magic wand would also work for me.
    Yes! Also, wizards can make Liquid Luck. I would LOVE to get my hands on some of that.
    Confession: I am proud of myself, where I have come from, and what I have accomplished so far in life. It seems like so little sometimes, but compared to others, I am very lucky/blessed.

    ETA: Confession: I got called 'such a good daughter' today by 3 different people. Only ONE of those people was actually one of my parents/relatives. And I LOVED it! :grin:

    ETA: Confession: I prefer the 'grin' face over the 'smiley' face. Is that weird?
    I prefer the grin face over the smiley because I always felt like the smiley looks sarcastic... or passively angry. :smile: Does anyone else see this?

    Also, I wanted to let you know that your posts made me smile! And those ferrets in sweaters are just so cute.

    I am SO tired. I was staying up last night watching some cringey compilation videos. Cringey as in it hurts to watch them because you feel so bad for the people in the video (why was I doing it to myself?). I had to take several breaks and in the end I felt like I died a little bit inside. One dude sent his wife away on vacation for a week so he could surprise her with a brand new AMAZING kitchen that he spent $60,000 on. First thing she says? "I hate that color." UNREAL. Instead of commenting on the two stoves she always wanted, she got mad at him for not changing a LIGHTBULB of all things. He worked to make her happy all week and the only things she could do were insult him and nitpick. That video was less cringey and more infuriating.

    I don't know why I'm saying all this..... guess the video really stuck with me? :lol: Kindness is important!

    This week, man. I'm now 49 pages behind.

    Goal: Finish the last (10-12 page, but I have 2 written!) paper for my current class AND catch-up on this thread today. I'm off from work, so it's do-able! I also want to hit the gym and then go to Kohl's because I'm running out of clothes that fit properly. Billowy shirts drive me bonkers. ;)

    Can't believe I forgot to tell you all this!!
    Remember my special needs boy who almost missed his exam and you all talked me down when I was freaking out about it?! He passed!! That means he's graduated high school, so we are all very, very happy and relieved.

    @raelynnsmama52512 - This is the boy who at 3 was assessed and had virtually no language (receptive or expressive), plus a bunch of other learning issues, and at 15 was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. He now has a girlfriend and a little circle of good friends, and has now graduated from the regular school program. I would never in my wildest dreams imagined he would be at this point when he was very young. Stick with it and I'm sure she'll surprise you.
    (Now he has to get a job!!)

    Yayyyy Tubbs' son!

    Hi everyone! TGIF! I'll be so glad to be done with work. I'm staying out of this thread because I'm in a funk and terribly crabby and I can just go Grumpy Cat off in the corner by myself ;)

    But I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    I have a coworker who can be quite snotty and apparently gets offended by smells. And I get it to a point, I also hate strong perfumes and the like. But she complained to me the other day about how "rude" it is that someone made popcorn. Not liking a smell is one thing. Saying someone is rude because of a food seems a bit ridiculous to me.

    I brought popcorn for a snack today :naughty:

    Who hates the smell of popcorn??!!!

    It's only rude if they don't share. And by share I mean give it to me. What?

    I seriously wanted to slap her when I watched that. I'm telling you, if my hubby sent me off on a vacation AND dropped that much money to give me my dream kitchen, I'd be thanking him profusely, not nitpicking and complaining! Some people just can't be made happy though...

    I took my 7 year old son to the fire company carnival last night. I managed to avoid the funnel cakes, cotton candy, deep fried Snickers, ice cream waffles, boardwalk fries and sausage sandwiches. Instead, I had 4 dozen clams. FOUR DOZEN!

    I love clams.

    I don't know how many calories that was and I'm afraid to log it. :(

    Woke up to find our dog had died in the middle of the night. She was 11 years old. And we have no idea why it happened.

    One of my kids is devastated. The other doesn't even know yet, and I have to tell her soon.

    Spent over $100 on groceries, went to Taco Bell right afterwards.

    I used to do this every time I went to the grocery store. It took junking my car to break me of that habit! I haven't picked it up again, knock on wood.

    Speaking of bad endings... Dexter, anyone? The whole show was pretty bad (my boyfriend and I watched it pretty much just so we could laugh at it), in my opinion, but the ending was just HILARIOUS. I don't know what they were thinking.

    EDIT: Breaking Bad was always amazing and ended amazing!
    EDIT 2: Seasons 1-4 (or 3?) of Dexter weren't nearly as bad as the last few seasons. I just hated the main character because he was dull and boring. Deb was my favorite.

    Dexter ended after Trinity in my world (which, the Season 4 finale could have been a fine ending for the show in my book). It got SO SO bad from Julia Styles on.

    I've just booked a holiday to New York and I'm so excited to try all of the American foods and restaurants people post here that we don't get in the UK. I've been to Florida 3 times when I was in my teens but mostly we just lived off Denny's and Subway. This time I'm gonna take full advantage of the yummy foods. I need recommendations!

    For example I've never had Key lime pie and everyone raves on about it! I'm dying to try it. Now obviously I know you can get that here but I'm holding out as I imagine it's so much better in the USA!

    This makes me so sad.

    Anyway, the thing with Key lime pie is that some places try to pass off Persian lime pies, or use green food coloring to make it "lime" colored (Key lime juice is yellow). That I want to smack those bakers is my confession.

    We're going on a cruise in April and will be in Key West on my birthday. I've already declared it Key Lime Pie (and Hemmingway's House for many-toed KITTIES) Day. I love lime in all it's forms.

    Really not happy with the turn this thread has taken.

    We've overcome multiple things in this thread. It's how we made it to almost 1350 pages!

    Today will be brighter as we decide to shine together despite our differences. So get the shades out. :sunglasses:

    Love this!!

    I think I'm going to be making another phone call to Raelynn's doctor tomorrow. This diagnosis of SPD and Anxiety just doesn't sit well with me, I honestly feel there's more than that going on, and it needs to be addressed. I feel that she honestly does have some form/level of autism and it's being overlooked. Maybe I'm overthinking things, but my heart keeps telling me there's more than what they're saying.

    As far as the house situation goes, we've decided to wait on that until we get other things sorted out. We looked into it further, and for the payments we would make for 23 years plus the 4K down payment, we'll wind up paying nearly $150,000 for a singlewide trailer, and that doesn't sit well with hubby (or me for that matter). We might just talk to our landlord and see if she'd be willing to let us buy this house from her. I'm not sure yet, but I do know I want to get other things squared away right now. I really appreciate all the well wishes, but I don't think that is in the cards for us right now.
    I'm sorry to hear about your housing situation. Keep up the good fight for Raelynn and I hope things pick up for you guys!

    Having one of my can't keep up couple of days at work.

    It's been super busy since everyone decided to go on holiday at once except me and the accountant, and neither of whom have technical knowledge, so that wasn't too clever. Customer rings up with a technical query and I go, um, can't really help. Come back in 2 weeks. How awesome am I? I'm not being crap at my job for the record, I do the admin for the salesmen so technical knowledge isn't my realm. But I sure do look crap at my job to the customers. Brilliant.
