    I am severely addicted to peanut butter. Especially white chocolate wonderful peanut butter. I have ate 1/3 of the jar in one sitting before when craving something sweet.

    My daughter loves PB. We now buy two jars a week. She eats PB with an apple for lunch every day. PB by the spoonful for a snack. My first post here was about hiding it from her, but we have come to a balance after many talks.

    The last six or so hours involved two hours at the doctor and driving to multiple pharmacies and spending all my disposable income this paycheck on ear drops.

    Son has a badly scratched ear canal and may or may not have a burst ear drum (we go back Friday, too much bleeding to see the entire ear drum today). He has a raging ear infection and a fever.

    But he will recover.

    Yes, exactly, we don't have the fizzy powder on this side of the Atlantic, so as far as I knew they were both just names for non-dairy frozen desserts (although the Google explanation claims that there is indeed some milk in the "sherbet" iteration, which I wasn't aware of and could probably not distinguish a difference between. I assumed it was an Americanised spelling thing vs our clinging onto the French.

    You need to have the fizzy powder version of sherbet. Will rot your teeth and maybe make you hyperactive but it's awesome !

    I may need to try this when I am in England...

    I will make a list and stock up on all the things you need to try

    Yes! And you need to try candy corn... I haven't forgotten! And off to Dollywood we go! Full agenda!

    I am still not too keen on clotted cream...

    Clotted cream is amazing and a British institution. I will insist upon you trying it!

    I definitely need to go to dollywood! I'm so looking forward to the food side of things.

    I wanna go to Dollywood!!![/quote]

    Meet us and come with!

    His ear was congested. It likely had an ear infection building. In the middle of the night it bothered him so he found a q tip (which I have hidden but daughter left out yesterday what are the odds really?) and scratched his ear canal. It has been bleeding all day. Doc can't see all of eardrum due to bleeding. Treating as if eardrum burst. Also treating ear canal. He has an ear wick (like a tiny tampon for ears) in that I put the drops on.

    Well, you'll need 2018, too... LOL
    I'm hoping to get a decent time in California in May and then hopefully BQ in December for 2018.

    True....

    And if we go together we can spend the weekend in Boston and be tourists! :)

    There it is! It all works out so well! :wink:
    For the record - I am running to finish to marathon. That is my goal. Maybe TK will BQ again, if his calves will finally behave again. He ran same year as you POF.

    If I'm going to run a BQ in December, I'm really going to have to start training sometime this year...
    And, I still have 15 lbs I want to lose.

    I need to be training too. Blister still may need another day to harden up, it is pretty tender and my heels may be bruised. I may eliptical it for a few days. I have 8 of my 10 pounds left to loose. :neutral:

    Did you do that on purpose?! :hushed:
    Nope. I'm horrible at phone typing though so we can pretend it was autocorrect. :wink:

    Mel, Is loose/lose on the Bingo card? Because if it is, I'm claiming this one! I-19.

    Nope. See. Here's the card...

    Snorting pixie stix? I think you will lose with that card, I do not ever recall seeing that.....

    I haven't been to the gym in almost 6 years. Now 40 pounds heavier, I put off going for 2 months after I started my membership because I felt like I needed to get in shape and lose weight first. Oh my nerves.

    You need to get in shape BEFORE going to the gym? That's a new one!

    Ok, so I have, by lunchtime, already gone over my calories, for the moment. It should be back in the green before I go to bed. I ate all my calories early because I have a late dentist appointment for a cleaning. Ya know, gotta eat before they tell you nothing for so long after the cleaning ;) . Plan on walk/jog this afternoon, so that will help.

    Isn't only 30 minutes that you cannot eat after a cleaning?? :p

    It is when they numb you up that you should wait until you regain feeling. :wink: I don't let them coat my teeth, it gives me an upset stomach when they do.

    I have eaten while still numb. I don't recommend it in public. I have drooled. I will admit.

    I remember after having my wisdom teeth out (was probably around 17), I asked my mom if we could go to Wendy's. Luckily we were in the car since I had my Frosty dribbling down my chin.

    Because you are pretty. Because he doesn't care if you are married? Because he's collecting friends. It is just a really weird message.

    Here's a free Bingo for the taking.

    @kelly_c_77 since you watch Pretty Little Liars this will make you laugh.

    The one character Hanna was eating Orange Juice Concentrate out of the can & threw it in her friend's bedroom trashcan. Aria yelled at Hanna to get it out of the trashcan, & once she did she started to eat it again. It reminded me of this thread & throwing stuff in the trashcan, & then taking it out to eat it or throw it away since it's too tempting.

    Maybe the creators/writers visit this board, & stole that confession.

    Yeah. Kind of amusing though, he told the doctor to hold the tweezers differently as she put the ear wick in. She listened to him and held them differently and she said it worked better.

    Confession: I get really really excited when I poop before breakfast.

    I won't weigh myself every morning until after I've pooped.

    I was waiting for someone to say this. Guilty!!! :flushed:

    I always hate when I weigh in, & then eat something for breakfast & then I have to use the restroom. So annoying!

    That's the littlest 'bingo' card ever. I think you need more squares. Minimum 25.

    Eh. It was an on-line template...

    To do 5X5, with a free space in the middle, I need 14 more things. And I already added zinc. :#

    how about washing your sports bra by showering in it. that came up a few times.

    I rinse my swimsuit by showering in it. I'm just not that comfortable with my body as some people at the pool are.

    Do I get a bingo spot?

    Are they public showers? If so I would do this too.

    I don't think so... as you aren't really washing it...you are covering up. But Quik and Mo always say I am too strict so I'll leave it up to them.

Like, I don't care if you're naked, that's fine, it's a locker room, that's what it's for, but I don't understand why it's necessary to be contorting like that when there's a bunch of mirrors RIGHT THERE displaying your, um, moves to the entire locker room.

    I don't know what they're actually doing, but it's weird and it makes me unhappy, haha. Ditto the ones blowdrying their nether regions.

    Ok, luckily I have never ever seen this. And Yes, 4 showers in one big open space. and EVERYONE but me gets completely stark nekid and I find it so disturbing. Worse was the lady who didn't even wrap a towel around herself to get back to her locker and STOPPED TO CHAT with some other lady and I was not going to go around her, so I just waited. ugh.. just too comfortable in their own skin

    You can never be too comfortable in your own skin!

    The last six or so hours involved two hours at the doctor and driving to multiple pharmacies and spending all my disposable income this paycheck on ear drops.

    Son has a badly scratched ear canal and may or may not have a burst ear drum (we go back Friday, too much bleeding to see the entire ear drum today). He has a raging ear infection and a fever.

    But he will recover.

    Good and bad news. How did he do this?

    His ear was congested. It likely had an ear infection building. In the middle of the night it bothered him so he found a q tip (which I have hidden but daughter left out yesterday what are the odds really?) and scratched his ear canal. It has been bleeding all day. Doc can't see all of eardrum due to bleeding. Treating as if eardrum burst. Also treating ear canal. He has an ear wick (like a tiny tampon for ears) in that I put the drops on.

    That just sounds awful. Hope the little guy gets better soon!

    Yikes!

    Yeah. Kind of amusing though, he told the doctor to hold the tweezers differently as she put the ear wick in. She listened to him and held them differently and she said it worked better.

    That is odd?

    Here's a free Bingo for the taking.

    @kelly_c_77 since you watch Pretty Little Liars this will make you laugh.

    The one character Hanna was eating Orange Juice Concentrate out of the can & threw it in her friend's bedroom trashcan. Aria yelled at Hanna to get it out of the trashcan, & once she did she started to eat it again. It reminded me of this thread & throwing stuff in the trashcan, & then taking it out to eat it or throw it away since it's too tempting.

    Maybe the creators/writers visit this board, & stole that confession.

    That would be funny! Source material for a tv show...

    You deserve it! You need to refuel.

    Tucson. Net downhill. BQ
    Recovery hike the next day (there are beautiful areas that are much easier than my most recent hike. We could take the tram to the top of Sabino canyon and walk down a four mile paved path) plus Sonoran Mexican food!!!!!!!!! And TKs pool plus @rungirl1973!!! And perfect weather.

    Dec would be 2018 not 2017.

    Well, you'll need 2018, too... LOL
    I'm hoping to get a decent time in California in May and then hopefully BQ in December for 2018.

    True....

    And if we go together we can spend the weekend in Boston and be tourists! :)

    There it is! It all works out so well! :wink:
    For the record - I am running to finish to marathon. That is my goal. Maybe TK will BQ again, if his calves will finally behave again. He ran same year as you POF.

    If I'm going to run a BQ in December, I'm really going to have to start training sometime this year...
    And, I still have 15 lbs I want to lose.

    I need to be training too. Blister still may need another day to harden up, it is pretty tender and my heels may be bruised. I may eliptical it for a few days. I have 8 of my 10 pounds left to loose. :neutral:

    Did you do that on purpose?! :hushed:
    Nope. I'm horrible at phone typing though so we can pretend it was autocorrect. :wink:

    Mel, Is loose/lose on the Bingo card? Because if it is, I'm claiming this one! I-19.

    Nope. See. Here's the card...

    kxridb29fa6w.jpg

    That's the littlest 'bingo' card ever. I think you need more squares. Minimum 25.

    Eh. It was an on-line template...

    To do 5X5, with a free space in the middle, I need 14 more things. And I already added zinc. :#

    how about washing your sports bra by showering in it. that came up a few times.

    I rinse my swimsuit by showering in it. I'm just not that comfortable with my body as some people at the pool are.

    Do I get a bingo spot?

    Are they public showers? If so I would do this too.

    I don't think so... as you aren't really washing it...you are covering up. But Quik and Mo always say I am too strict so I'll leave it up to them.

    Thanks. He's a trooper and a pretty tough kid. He's had a very long medical history. I was proud of how well he did today. He was great even though he was running a fever, bleeding from a painful ear and kept waiting 2.5 hours.
