Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Thank you so much for asking - I just sat down to catch up!@Tubbs216 How did your son's job interview go? Fingers crossed it went well for him!!
It's hard to tell how it went - he's not very good at talking things like that through. He had to do a math and English test, because as I think I mentioned before, although it's entry level, it's a 'proper' job (not a McJob). He would have done well on the English, but might have struggled a bit on the math as that's not a strength. I guess we'll just wait and see now. Worst case, at least he got some interview experience!
My daughter saw the gynecologist this morning, who said that the results of her ultrasound were completely normal which was good (but surprising) news. She said that the BC pill that our family doctor had prescribed wasn't a good choice for a patient with very heavy periods, and wants her to try another one which has a higher progesterone dosage. My daughter said she'll give it a try, but if it doesn't help she wants an IUD. Dr was fine with that. So we'll see how the next month goes...
Other son is taking his antibiotics for his ghastly ingrown toenail. He's prone to them, as are a few people in our family. He already had his other big toenail partially resected for the same reason. The podiatrist we're seeing did the last one and didn't hold back on the freezing, so once the first shot's done it shouldn't be too traumatic. (Easy for me to say as it's not my toe!
)
Wow lot going on! Glad you are jumping back in and catching up. Good luck with all of the above!0 -
My sister was always very pear-shaped. One day an older man stopped her on the street and said "Madam, you have glorious buttocks!" and went on his way (imagine in posh English accent). She couldn't decide whether to be offended or flattered.spacequiztime wrote: »
I completely understand. There are a too many stories of people being attacked for me to feel comfortable with creeps. The worst thing was when I started losing weight but still had an "ample" butt. Creepy older men at the dollar store would start trying to talk to me.Today I was pumping gas and some guy was awkwardly staring at me. I felt totally uncomfortable, but happy at the same time that I wasn't being stared at because my stomach was hanging out of my shirt or my plate of food was making those around me worry if a heart attack could ever be contagious =/ I knew he was staring because he found me attractive, which was nice, but still creepy.
I confess I would die! And I don't get the butt fascination but the Kardashians and JLo has made a fortune off it!0 -
Oh, well, I'm 47 which probably sounds ancient to you young'uns. I promise it comes around surprisingly quickly. I certainly don't feel old, but I guess the driver's licence says otherwise.
Careful now, you are only two years ahead of me!!! We are by no means ancient, well aged maybe, but not ancient.
EXCUSEE ME???? I am 47. And feel/act 25. Its just a number. And a lot more $ at the hairdresser!0 -
Darn only got to the batcave and page 1509 gotta run. Will continue catching up later.0

@Tubbs216 and @riderfangal I hope this wasn't close to you yesterday!!
I don't think it was, my friend on fb was kind of vague except it was Alberta and he was on the yellowhead.0 -
@Glinda1971 I just got frozen through from simply LOOKING at that photo...*shivers*0

I don't even want to think about snow and cold yet. Though when it gets cold we heat our house with a wood stove right in the living room, so it will be toasty inside.0

Great! Enjoy it. I've just eaten two warm scones with my homemade clotted cream (recipe in Batcave - too good to not share!) and strawberry jam, and that's also given me a rather nice sense of well-being. Have a great weekend!I am in an unusually good mood today. Even for a Friday. Maybe it was the donut, or the smoked pork (sorry pof) I had a little bit ago, but regardless, I'm feeling really good today, and I hope someone doesn't piss me off and ruin it.
I want a scone!!
Can you throw hard enough to make it to Kansas?! I love scones and strawberry jam. I have no idea what clotted cream is, but I'm sure I'd love it too.
Also, thanks, you have a great weekend too!
Do you think they would arrive more easily if she clicked two scones together three times while saying, "There's no place like home!"?
I just choked on my drink. Superbly hilarious.

Yes, I think that reaction is quite common! Regarding availability in N America, I read around a lot when I was looking for a recipe to try, and there were SO MANY Americans looking for some way to replicate the fabulous cream they'd had when visiting the UK. It surprises me that nobody has started marketing it over here - apart from the nasty bottled stuff, which doesn't compare to fresh.Oh gosh - forgot to say @Tubbs216 - You must be so proud of your oldest for going through with such a grown up interview! I hope he gets the job.
Great news that your daughter's tests came back normal! Excellent!
I must admit that the name "clotted cream" makes me gag. I have this horrible aversion to milk specifically because it gets all clumpy and sooooo groooosssss when it starts to spoil. So "clotted cream" translates into "rotten nasty milk" for me.
The worst part is that I've never actually tried clotted cream, as it's not a thing here in the US. I bet I'd LOVE it if I tried it elsewhere AND if they didn't tell me that's what I was eating. Just call it... ummm... buttery pudding... or sweetened cream.... or... well, anything but "clotted". Hee hee
Thanks for your thoughts about my kids. You're very sweet.
For those of you with access to a Wegmans, they carry several imported varieties of clotted cream! And Devon cream? I have no idea if that's different. Too busy wondering why I don't have scones right now.0 -

NSV: I was able to NOT eat my weight in bread at an Italian restaurant last night.
Confession: I totally got dessert instead.0 -

Well done!
Carbs are my weakness reason for living. The heck with protein, go straight to bread/pasta/dessert.
It's no surprise how I went through most of my life with very little muscle.0 -

On the few occasions that I was ever hung over, orange juice was my go-to cure... must be the restorative effects of potassium.orangesmartie wrote: »Confession: I am totally Watching my life fall apart (again, yawn) and I'm doing absolutely nothing to stop it.

Nothing wrong with a little escapism now and then. Sometimes doing nothing IS a choice.0 -

I'm definitely going to enjoy this one last peaceful weekend before everything goes to hell and hectic again. That's just September with my school, Raelynn's school, tax school (one of them) for work, and all the appointments coming up this month and in September. I'm gonna need all the luck and coffee I can get!
I am highly impressed with your organizational skills! You may not have much time for you MFP friends in Sept! Good luck!
Thank you! I've read that organization can really help with ADD/ADHD symptoms, some how or another. I have a bad habit of starting out relatively organized and then over time not staying that way. I'm hoping I can do better and not get so overwhelmed this time.
And I'll always make time for my MFP friends!

Confession: I went out drinking last night and got so drunk I kissed a man (that I know) who is old enough to be my dad. More than once.0

It was further west than any of us Albertans live, I think. Still, brrrrrr! It was cold here yesterday for sure.0 -

That sounds like a good plan. Calm and relaxed and not worked up. Good job0 -
Sounds like more than one of you tied one on last night!!! I hope you aren't feeling too much of a hangover today. @orangesmartie I know you have already applied your remedies and I hope you are feeling better.
I am taking it easy this weekend, made some black bean brownies. Very interesting. Texture is a bit denser and not as sweet as regular brownies but still pretty good.0 -

Oh man, that sounds so freaky! I talked to my mom about my problem and she reminded me of the time she opened up a container of oatmeal to find tons of worms crawling around. I wasn't that freaked out and took it to school to show everyone in excitementFluffySandwich wrote: »So... I picked up some muffin thingies in my pantry yesterday and saw that they had these tiny (REALLY tiny) bugs on them. I freaked and threw all of them away. Then I noticed that there were more crawling around in there. I started inspecting items in my pantry and found them on a couple more things. They are really hard to spot because they are so small. I would have thought they were just spilled spices or something if I hadn't noticed them moving.
Has anyone ever had this problem? I think I'm going to have to throw away EVERYTHING in my pantry... including my entire stock of spices, and I don't want to do that. I investigated them and don't SEE any bugs in there, but who knows? There could be eggs... ughh. I looked up advice and learned that most of the time these bugs are introduced into your home via goods that are not stored properly at the grocery store.
I'm so sorry that you are dealing with that.
I've never had that problem in my kitchen but I remember when my sister and I were kids she used to keep her candy for a long long long time. One time she was going to get some to eat and there were tons of tiny bugs all over the candy. It was freaky. We just threw away her whole Easter basket and we didn't seem to have any issues otherwise. You may have to throw everything out. Still... EW. Now I'm going to be extra paranoid around everything in my pantry, though I cleaned mostly everything out. The rest is in the freezer and I am really hoping there aren't any bugs/eggs in there.
Hahaha this is hilarious!
Eww, but that would make a funny show & tell.0 -

I'll have to look at Wegman's whenever I actually get back to one.0 -

I'm deliberately ignoring the SNOW that @Glinda1971 posted... I'm in denial... winter isn't coming this year...
Now I'm on the hunt for Concord grapes. Not sure when or if I will find them here, they probably have a two-week retail season like Rainier cherries do. And absolutely zero chance of encountering these magical cotton candy grapes.0 -

Oh crap I'm sorry. Being hung over on top of it has to suck. I would definitely not worry on calories and eat fried food and drink coke. Agreed totally helps. Well I just realized it's nearly midnight there so hopefully you can get some sleep and have a new perspective in the am. Although lately if I drink too much it takes me 2 days to recover. Check in with us in the am and let us know how you are doing and if you are ok. XOXOXOX0 -
