I am just a little excited to take my daugher to her check up at the cancer center tomorrow. They have recently had end of treatment bells donated to them and she will get to ring it! After over two years of worry and watching, we ended treatment in June and she has been cancer free since then. She may never really realize how big a thing she has been through, but I know there are parts she will never forget.
YAYYY!! That's such a neat thing, here's to hoping she stays cancer free for a long long time!
Ditto! I hope she has a blast ringing the bell.0 -

He's not the only one who hasn't read it.. *raises hand*
And yeah, what is Marmite?
It seems none of the UKians care to answer this, so I will. It's a nasty-looking gunky brown yeast spread that's popular in Australia, and apparently the UK. What I've heard is that you can only love it or hate it--there's no in between. It sounds nasty to me--they sell it here, but I've never tried it. It's also known as Vegemite, I believe.
Exactly this! Ignore everyone else! Ha ha0 -
So for everyone watching Pretty Little Liars the next two weeks
1. Who do you think or want Charles/Big A to be?
2. Who do you want Red Coat to be?
3. Who do you want Black Veil to be?
4. Who do you think the Uber A will be in the last season?0 -

@crosbylee that is wonderful!
Speaking of good things, I'm currently celebrating a mini win with Raelynn! She's been talking about going to the water park all weekend, so I took her today, and she had a ball! I was worried because it was crowded and she's on the leery side when it comes to water, but she enjoyed every minute of it! No, I didn't get pictures since I was taking every bit of today in, but believe me, this mama has been smiling all day!

That is fantastic!!! Glad to see her step out of her shell a bit and find something wonderful!! I don't blame you for just enjoying the day with her. Sometimes those memories are the best! 0 -

Okay to all my British pals- asked the SO what marmite is ( I didn't want to tell him y'all had already told me as he likes explaining those kinds of things to me) his reponse- "Eugh marmite is some disgusting vegetable spread. It's slogan is you either love it or hit it which tells you a lot!" I cracked up as this was the same response from a lot of you! 0

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 started well, but it was terrible for the last few series.
I'm currently binge watching castle and criminal minds. Not seen breaking bad, am really not that interested but everyone always says it's so good. Same goes for game of thrones.
ETA: lost had the most disappointing ending ever. And how I met your mother needed 2 fewer seasons.
Is Castle on Netflix?
I LOVE Castle. The first four or 5 seasons are really good. Then it kind of went "meh" for awhile, but I think it turned around a little this last season. It's on Hulu Plus, I think?0 -

German chocolate cake has a special place in my heart. My dad used to buy one for everyone on their birthday, thinking it was our favorite cake.

German Choc cake is the one I'm the most tempted to do this with. I never make anything out of a box (My kitchen would have to be on fire first lol) but German Choc Cake from scratch tastes almost exactly like a box mix. If anything, scratch made is less sweet and mild chocolate flavor. The cake is a cinch to make, but the frosting is a PITA. Making the caramel base and throwing in the pecans and stirring til your arms hate you on extremely low heat drives me nuts... My mom asks for a GC Cake every year for her birthday and I do it but every year I swear I'm substituting Duncan Hines...Then no matter how cold/cooled off the cake is, even if you do a crumb coat, frosting it is HARD.
This is the mix I used:
It is delicious! It has a separate packet of coconut pecan mix to add in before baking. It is super moist! I baked it in a 9 x 13 pan and frosted it with whatever brand of coconut pecan frosting I grabbed first. (Betty Crocker, I think?)
Edit: because spelling is hard.
Would I be driven out of the thread if I admitted that I'd most likely HATE German Chocolate cake? I hate nuts in everything (they can only be eaten alone, unless we're talking nut butter), and I really hate coconut in desserts--and in everything else. I can only eat it plain and fresh.
I also do like German chocolate cake, and I'm not a big cake person. I love coconut!
Apparently I loved licorice allsorts as a kid. I have no independent recollection of this.
My father buys me a HUGE tin of them every Christmas as a result.
I don't much care for them any more. Next tin is going to the office for the vultures to devour.
I have zero clue what this is.

I wish I could. I don't have a huge chest by any means but these aren't supportive and I'd really like to try as hard as I can to prevent what I do have from sagging to my toes
Glad I'm not the only one!
They do work - I have one that kind of works, even, and I've got a very big chest. They're not great for lift or support, obviously, but they do shape and cover.
Have you tried a longline strapless? I have one from Freya that's got just a couple inches of "band" under the cup and it stays up like nobody's business with that extra fabric. Plus it looks cute, even.
I have a longline strapless... it's ancient, which means it's hardly worn... which probably means it didn't work terrifically well. But it is also low-back, so it's probably trying to fill too many needs at once. I may have to dig it out and try it.I have the sliding issue with the bandeaus I have, but the bra stayed put. It is one I bought for my brother's wedding 5 years ago that has the non-slide gel-like stuff that some of the no slip headbands have.
What are the backless stick-on bras? Don't think I've seen one before.
Come to think of it, all of my strapless bras are from the days when I wore a too-large band (when I followed the "add 5 inches" guideline) so that might be half the problem.
Backless bra:
edit to close parentheses, because that sort of thing keeps me up at night
How does that even stay up?!
Incomplete parentheses would haunt me too.
It's sticky on the inside, and after you wear it you rinse it carefully and leave it flat to dry and it gets sticky again. And like I mentioned, they're good for shape and coverage but obviously don't do anything lift-wise, really.
I'm glad the brownies worked out for you, @ythannah, and you don't think they taste like beans
My husband likes them more than real brownies because of the way the sweetness is cut back by the beans.
I'll have to try these brownies since I have around 3 cans of black beans.
Other than the black beans & brownie mix did you guys mix anything else in?
Not much of a baker here.
When I made the Chickpea Hummus Dough it was pretty good & I couldn't tell it was made with beans.
This has probably been answered already but the only other ingredient is water.
My instructions were to rinse the beans and the can thoroughly, drain the beans, then return the beans to the can and fill it with water. That was the mixture that got pureed. Into purple soup that smelled like cat food.
These black bean brownies are getting harder and harder to resist with detailed descriptions like that.
*I wish there was a sarcasm font.
They're actually REALLY good. And sooo much healthier than regular brownies because they have legumes in them.pofoster21 wrote: »Okay, I deleted my last post, but I'm going to reword it here, it's regarding the DLB comments.
It bothers me that people are being encouraged to be more body positive, and not body shame people who are overweight, but people who are super fit are still picked apart. I get it, I don't want to look like DLB either, but I don't think it's right to say she looks manly or scary. It's still body shaming. Just because she's muscular/fit doesn't make it okay. People wouldn't post things like that about an obese person, or they'd be torn apart!
I hope that makes sense. I know it's judgment free and I think you are all super great, but I just had to put my $0.02 in.
I wondered what your 'deleted' meant. Good point. I don't care for that look. I don't care for the anorexic look either. Both are too extreme. But totally get your point. And won't do it again and luckily, its within the hour, so I'll go delete it!
That's totally fine. Everyone's "ideal" varies of course.
It may have been mentioned already way back, but there's a double standard on body acceptance. You (general you) can't put down or say anything bad about an overweight person, but skinny people are told to "eat a hamburger" or accused of being anorexic when they're not. For some reason it's more acceptable to make remarks to a skinny person. I'm not sure why. I can only imagine the types of comments women like DLB must get, and while they might be used to it, I know I wouldn't want to hear unnecessary negative comments about my body.
ETA: Now I'm stressed about these posts. I am not trying to stir anything up so I hope nobody takes offence to me stating my opinion.
I've heard it all my life, from my mother's "Men like women better who are pleasingly plump" to my coworker's "You look too skinny to live" to another coworker's "So.... *kitten* happens to skinny people too, eh?" when she overheard me talking to someone else about my lymphedema, like it was a trade-off for not being overweight.
I don't care for that DLB woman's body either... not sure how much of the look can be attributed to prepping and flexing and posing and possibly even a little graphic enhancement, however... but I don't have a hope of ever achieving that physique either, it's just not in my genes. Maybe if it was remotely possible I'd try for it, who knows? Everyone's goals and ideals are different.
This is more like what I can realistically aim for:
I can appreciate that.
I takeaway 3 things from this image:
1. She's nicely tan. I'm quite jealous as I'm like a nicely darker version of fluorescent.
2. I want her pants.
3. My hair NEVER looks that nice when I workout. Heck, my hair rarely looks that nice period. EVER.
1. I'm sure it's a spray-on fake tan for her "after" photo shoot.
2. If I recognize the symbol on the waistband correctly, they're UnderArmour. Mucho dinero, chica. I have a cute little UnderArmour workout jacket from TJMaxx that started out at $130.
3. Yeah, the hair got me too. I allowed myself a small wistful moment of wishing I had the kind of hair that could look carelessly tousled and freaking awesome at the same time. It ain't happening.
4. I'm supposed to be grouting.
@crosbylee what a milestone for your daughter! Hope she has a long and healthy, cancer-free life ahead!0 -

When I do any strenous workouts ( been trying to get back into the 30 day shred) I have to pee before I start,stop to pee at least and pee right after- I usually pee myself a wee bit during the jumping jacks. Even if my bladder seems empty. Im a 23 year old mom with zero kegal control

That is so true. I don't personally want to look like her, but I can't even imagine the amount of discipline and determination she has.
I totally agree with the double standard. It's not right. Having been on the thinner side my whole life, I've gotten steady comments about how I don't eat enough or how I need to eat more how I can't possibly be full after just eating a sandwich or a bowl of cereal. And now that I've been working out regularly, they make comments about how I don't need to workout or I workout too much. Blah, blah, blah.
How and what I eat are no concern of yours, so mind ya own bidness. As much as I love Mr. Mo, he's horrible about saying things like this to me. It's hurtful.
I can get this. I was really hurt last time I visited my Mom she is always criticizing me for my weight (being too heavy) now all she could say was I was too thin... Its like ... seriously, Mom, can't I ever be just right?????????
Maybe not exactly the same but I was hurt. I like the way I look right now. So there!
It is the same, and my mom is not the greatest at compliments or encouragement either. Luckily, I don't find my self-worth by her validation. Not saying that you do, I'm just saying.
Moms can be such jerks sometimes. Myself included.
Yes they can, and yes, to some degree, I still do!0 -

More curry
What is a chocolate frog? and what is butterbeer? I assure you those are not regular British things! Are they more a regional thing Tubbs?
HARRY POTTER!
So things that don't really exist then
Can you buy them in tesco?
Not that I know of But I did have a butterbeer in Hogsmeade in FL... hot and cold. Both good but way too fattening. My nephew got the chocolate frog. I think both my niece and nephew got the Bertie Botts flavoured jelly beans. They even got ear wax! I refused to try them. 0 -

So I know I've been away from this thread because I can't keep up... But I got to get this out of my chest.
One of my kids' friends' mom asked me for a playdate at the waterpark today a couple days ago. I wasn't thinking and said yes... and I got my period yesterday.
I don't do tampons, but I have a menstrual cup.. which I've never managed to use properly but figured I'd give it another shot... 30 minutes later, I'm scratched, raw, and couldn't get the thing to open. I HATE MY BODY. I can't workout as much as I'd like because my calves are giving out on me, I'm always so hungry before my period that I end up undoing one or two weeks of deficit, and now I can't even do this for my kids.
Still going but we won't be able to do the things they like the most because I can't go far in the water, obviously. I'm in tears. So frustrated.
So sorry, @Francl27 but you can let the other kids mom go in the water this time? And you take them back another time? And welcome back...stick around you don't have to keep up, just jump in when you can!0 -
