    You can ignore people? mostly, I hang out here and in the Cave where it's safe, but that is nice to know.

    Wow. 8,000 and 1700 all in one night. And pretty much 8000 is all in here and the batcave.

    I never knew that either. That is why Myles was ghosted. When I clicked on her it asked me if I wanted to 'unignore' her. Now I am going to get paranoid when people don't respond to me. I'll be convinced I bored them so badly they 'ignored' me.

    I should be reading my nonfiction book for the month. If I finish it, I can read my fiction of choice for the rest of the month. But, noooo, I am pushing for page 1700 instead.

    My internet connection wouldn't refresh. I had to turn off the WiFi and turn it back on. I like the new user name, but I am still gonna call you POF.
    ETA: yay for 1700. Hard to believe the thread is almost one.

    I am woefully short on protein, so I baked tilapia to go with the potatoes. Mistake, because the potatoes are to heavy to eat with the fish. It's done and I ate it, but won't do it again.

    Really? I eat cajun talapia and a baked potato with mushrooms whenever I go to Ruby Tuesday's. Love it. Haven't been there in months since I quit drinking....

    I am really weird about the textures of my food. My husband liked it too, so what do I know? maybe I will try it again, we'll see

    I confess the last trip to the grocery store, I bought four different ice creams- Blue Bell homemade vanilla, a new Blue Bell flavor called Butter Crunch ( peanut butter cups and stuff), Tillamook Udderly Chocolate and Cinnamon Horchata. I hate myself, but I have not eaten any yet.... :D

    Sounds yummy & awesome self control.

    I confess my tummy kind of hates me right now.

    I didn't eat anything until around 9:00 AM & had my Combat Crunch Birthday Cake protein bar & lunch I had a Dannon 80 Calorie Strawberry Shortcake Mousse.

    When I got home a little after 4:00 PM (remember no judgment haha) I had two Cinnamon Bun Oreo cookies, OhYeah Birthday Cake protein bar, OhYeah Almond Fudge Brownie bar, Lunchables Nacho Walking Taco kit, Marketside Quinoa Salad, & two cups of Dannon Vanilla yogurt with Musclepharm Birthday Cake protein powder, sprinkles, & imitation butter extract.

    Confession: I got a performance bonus at work yesterday (not a lot of money, but a nice surprise) and promptly spent half of it on Combat Crunch bars and BCAAs instead of the VS sale. I guess I am officially a lifter now...

    I'm not even a lifter, but usually if we get a bonus at work for making sales for the quarter I also buy some kind of protein bar, protein snacks, or basically any kind of sweet treat.

    I also very rarely buy designer jeans with my bonuses (still only look at the bargain sales for the jeans).

    I was super pumped Friday when my Vitamin Shoppe order came in (OhYeah Birthday Cake bars, OhYeah Cookie Dough, & OhYeah Almond Fudge Brownie).

    Still have the Cookie Dough bars to try.

    So I'm making hot cocoa since I have some and am stuck at home. Out f sheer curiousity and in honor of this trad I tried the cocoa powder. Not a fan. This wouldn't give me a chocolate fix I don't think....

    It wouldn't do it for me either, POF, but in the spirit of the thread I claim this for my bingo card. I20.

    (giggle at the bingo card)

    Confession: Mashed potatoes are a complete meal! I made them with sauteed onions and basamic balsamic vinegar reduction and butter. Ok, I did have a few sliced tomatoes on the side, but mashed potatoes!
    edited for error.

    Mashed potatoes aren't a meal? I wish you hadn't told me that.

    I frequently eat a baked potato as a meal. Skin and all. I love baked potatoes.

    I've ate a baked sweet potato as a meal a few times in the past few weeks.

    I confess that I get a little excited that some of the longer term residents of this thread respond to a newbie like me. :)
    I also confess that I hate weaving in the ends of my knitting with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, but really love the striped look and may or may not have at least 3 projects complete except for the weaving in.

    @pofoster21 Am I still ghosted? Apparently when I signed up I pretty much put my profile on lockdown, and I wonder if that did it. I just changed it

    Doesn't look ghosted to me. So, how bored will you have to be with bed rest to do the weaving in? My daughter is knitting a striped lap blanket right now. I am not a knitter, but I would like to learn. I just need to make time.

    I've been doing some weaving in, and then giving up as bored, then picking it up. It will get done by golly. lol. Knitting is something you either get or you don't. I find the knittinghelp.com and knit picks videos super helpful if I run across something I don't know.

    I don't know if I would be able to get it or not. I have bad fine motor skills when working with both hands. I can build a dollhouse, but not play a piano. I'll try it someday.

    I like to knit and do all craft things but no time...one of these days I'll pick it up again. My mom knits like a fiend.

    I wonder how long it would take you to knit a horse onesie :p?

    What are you reading? I just finished weaving in ends on 6 colour changes, I'm on a roll. And I convinced my kids they did not want to watch minions for the 8th time this weekend. How to train your dragon 2 FTW.

    I confess I am going to blow my calories on a very planned snack of chips and guac

    Its taken me 5 days to knit 1 leg warmer. I would guess for me, over a month for a horse onesie.

    The branch chain amino acids are the mark of a lifter, I think. How are the Oh, Yeah bars?

    I wonder how hard she'd get kicked trying to put that on. I remember breaking Ginger to a blanket... It was bad...I wish I had room for a horse... sigh.

    I am reading Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training by Mark Rippetoe, which my husband bought me for Christmas. (Another mark of a lifter, I am reading about the physics and physiology behind what I am doing in the gym.) I have 23 pages left. And then I can read Monster Hunter Vendetta by Larry Correa. Absolute mind candy, reading about vampires, werewolves, etc. being hunted by humans they've attacked in the past. It was also a Christmas gift. And then I have to pick another non-fiction book. My goal is to read one non-fiction book each month this year.

    I was confused about ghosted. I read and now I understand. Hmmm. I may have to try this.

    What would you eat for protein with it, since you do not eat meat?

    If it is me it is (1) I am on my phone and that makes it hard or (2) I am at work and trying to behave (3) dealing with stuff that has nothing to do with you or here and I can't summon the energy. It has zero to do with you. <3
    Woot. I made a list! <3

    I tried to read new rules for lifting for women, got about 1/3 of the way in and decided to stick to strong lifts. I also just borrowed one from the library, Body weight anatomy (or something similar) by Bret Contreras. That one is interesting so far. If you like police investigating behind the scenes stuff, there is a book called "Author Unknown" that is fantastic. Its forensic science behind writing styles in the unibomber case.

    Myles, I think you fit right in with this group. :)

    I read books and magazines about running all the time. I find it fascinating.
