I hate that I can't post regularly anymore because my ability to use my laptop is limited and my tab stinks for typing. And I hate that we might not get to drive to Bahrain to watch Inside Out at the theater because I can't sit for 3+ hours. And I hate... everything. Just everything.
*pitiful whine over*
@Susieq_1994's back you better cooperate so she can watch her movie! What's your favorite snack(s) to eat at the movies?
I always order the same thing--caramel-covered popcorn and a mixed (strawberry/lime, usually) slushie.
Funny but true: The very first time Mr. Susie and I went to the movie theater (as newlyweds, no less!), I accidentally dumped an entire bucket of popcorn all over him right in the middle of the movie. We spent at least the next 30 minutes trying not to burst out laughing out loud while trying to pick all the popcorn off of him in the dark... Good times.
At least it wasn't the slushie, right?!
Confession: Mr. Susie and I walked to the 24 hour Tamimi market at 4.30 in the morning after no sleep at all (this is my excuse for encouraging bad choices) to buy ingredients to bake chewy speculoos spread cookies. My calorie intake is not pretty today.
... But those cookies were amazing.
LOL! Did he have any on this clothing after you left the theater?
Ooo those cookies sound amazing! I forget does he like sweets too?
Yes and yes.
It was caramel popcorn, so when we walked out he had random popcorn pieces stuck to his shirt here and there. And he loves good desserts, like I do--nothing mediocre. His favorite are chocolate chip cookies.

Two days early, but I'll chip in with everyone else and wish Charlie Bucket a happy, messy, delicious, and wonderfully sticky birthday! 0

Hahaha thank you!
We're having a lovely birthday weekend so far, we came to a soft play centre this.morning and we're still here! He's having a whale of a time. I want to go home and nap he shows no signs of slowing down!

She's still waiting for surgery, unfortunately. I don't know what's going on. They seemed pretty sure it was going to happen today, but everyone is very vague about it. (For US people - this is the price you pay for socialised health care! Yes, you don't pay for the surgery, but on the other hand, you have to be patient.) (A patient patient).
Anyway, I saw her earlier and took her some stuff so she could shave her legs and dry shampoo her hair because a girl likes to look respectable before having surgery. I also ran around and picked up the after-surgery equipment she needs - this is stuff like a massage-table type bed arrangement and a chair that enables you to sit up while keeping the face tilted downwards. I hope that will help.
I have been wondering. Thanks for the update. Sorry everyone is still in limbo and what a great sister you are to do that stuff for her
Thinking of her. Hoping all goes well. I am behind and probably will just be able to skim and jump in from time to time over the next 7 days.
Are you headed to Boston?
Yes, at a silly early hour (as in I'm up at 3 so I should go to sleep but trying to not get terribly behind.)
ETA I think I'm caught up. I again thought of many more replies than I took the time to write. Sweet dreams.
Have a wonderful time!0 -

I need these in my life... Now
Want the recipe? Easiest recipe ever. I can post it in the BatCave's recipe thread.
Yes please!
Recipe is in the Super Great Recipe Thread. I also posted the four soup recipes that @bkhamill posted here yesterday, since I figured they'd all get lost. (Which is why we made the recipe thread to begin with. ) They were already ten pages back when I went searching for them! 
Thanks, I forgot we had a recipe thread over there.
No problem at all, I don't mind maintaining that thread by posting recipes others post in here. I'm the recipe catcher.
Sooo... Susie. Not to be pushy. But... can you do a confessions cookbook that you pull together on watpad or something that we can all print or download and keep? Maybe start to curate it now and that is our Xmas gift?
Ooh, that's an awesome idea!! Wattpad doesn't let anyone save or copy published stories to protect authors from plagiarism, but what do you guys think of a PDF cookbook? Maybe even with pictures, if I can chase down each recipe donor for one... That would be fun!
This would be fantastic. Now to chase down some recipes that I can contribute!!0 -

My husband's name is Tim and he is a GREAT guy!!
But, my former room mate (before meeting my husband) was named Tim and let's just say he was an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE human being. It's a very long story but our friendship/living together ended with a camera hidden in the bathroom, a gun, and a phone call to 911. Yup...

I would pick up one to go, just so that I could stop thinking about it. If there is a good thing about celiac it's that I have learned that BBQ and burgers are perfectly good without a bun, which makes them easier to fit into my day.0 -
thank you all for the thoughts, it's appreciated
i realized after three days of heavy sobbing, much grief bacon, and large quantities of alcohol, that me "taking a break" was really just giving me more time to focus on him, and my misery and disappointment. so i figured might as well try to chat with some ppls, and find a little distraction.
*post date update*
ok, went out with a dude last night.
full disclosure, i'd already had a few beverages, so i walked (trying to be a more responsible person, kinda) to a nearby bar to say hello. now dude was the one that suggested meeting up for beverages. ok, i have no problem with that (obviously). but then he didn't actually drink. was fine serving them to me, but stuck with soda for himself. even my lil drunken brain tabbed that as slightly strange.
spent about two hours chatting, dude seemed nice, but a large chunk of his conversation had all to do with his "nylons and high heels" fetish. and how he likes to be "teased." i would like to think i'm pretty open minded, but dude, this is the first time i'm meeting you, chill. but of course me being me, i was like dude, that's fine and all but i'm a total jeans and tshirt kinda girl, you're in for a world of disappointment.
he then went on to let me know that that's totally ok, but he would just expect a few little things here and there for his enjoyment. yeah...
left the bar and walked him out to his truck, where he then tried to have sex with me.
yeah, not so much. disengaged from the situation and despite the offer for a ride (pun not intended but it does work so well!) and a request to come back to my place, i declined and walked home.
bleh.
Wow! What a loser!!!
ETA: Glad you decided not to sit around and mope.0 -

Went to see sister. She was up and about and looking completely normal. I thought she'd have a patch or something, but even her bad eye looks ok. I made her sit down and she promised she wasn't going to do anything more than get up to the bathroom for the rest of the day. She still has to have 2 weeks of complete rest and 6 weeks off work, but doesn't have to do the head forward thing (because of having oil rather than gel bubble), so that makes it a lot easier to deal with. She will have to have another surgery down the line to remove the oil, but she already has a bit of vision back that she'd lost, so that's encouraging, although she said it's quite blurry. I guess time will tell, but right now it's looking more encouraging.
Thanks for your continued support. It means a lot. xxxxxx
(Also, fun fact: she had this surgery done with local anesthetics etc, and she said she wasn't freaked out about that as she had her recent plastic surgeries (arm lift & tummy tuck) done with twilight sleep/spinal blocks!! Major surgery! EEEEeeep! I had no idea they did that.
This is excellent news!!! (Not-fun fact: If your major surgery can be done without putting you so the way under, they don't put you all the way under. Most deaths in the OR are due to a problem with anesthesia, not to whatever took you there.)

Yes, I knew that. I didn't know they were able to conduct such big surgeries that way though. I guess they've been doing spinal block c-sections for many years, and this isn't really any different.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »Went to see sister.

But the squat rack will give you better "bang for your buck" than the Smith machine. You use more stabilizing muscles when squatting in the squat rack (read 'stronger core' here, and who doesn't want that?).
Well, Miss Judgy Pants, there is only 1 squat rack in my gym and it was being used last night. I actually prefer the rack over the machine anyway, because I DO feel like I'm doing more of the work, instead of the machine.
I will wait for the squat rack, and even ask the user when they are going to be done. Get out of my squat rack!!!
What do you do while you're waiting?
Sit and stare at them, to make them uncomfortable. LOL, JK!
I will do the other lifts in my program, if I don't think they're going to be long. If I get done with those and they are still in the squat rack, I then ask them how much longer they are going to be. They have ALWAYS left when I asked that so far.
Yeah, but you're a cop and quite intimidating. I mean, didn't a guy ask if you were a power lifter? No one would EVER ask that of me.
Also, doesn't he (the SL French(?) dude) say not to do the lifts out of order?
I think that's only because squats are a good all body warm up and you should do them every session so putting it first means you won't miss them.0 -
