Confession: last night I watched Ice Princess in the full knowledge that the movie would make me angry. And it did. Oh, it did. I was raging bigtime.
Then I made the mistake of the internet and got even more ragey. Apparently figure skaters just need to "get over" the complete inaccuracies and the woeful depiction of our sport.
Open parody like Blades of Glory I can handle. Stupid rubbish like Ice Princess I cannot.0 -
Eid Mubarak, SusieQ!0

Thanks for letting is know Stevia works. I feel a baking spree coming on...0 -
If there's leftover birthday cake around, I'll throw it away to avoid temptation. In about 15 mins I'll fish it out of the trash if it wasn't touching anything too icky and eat it anyway...I've done this more than once.
Sounds like you need to up your sabotage game before the failed sabotages sabotage you! lol
Yeah, obviously time to start spraying the garbage with a water gun or pouring dish soap in or something (but not both, probably, unless you want a bubble explosion.)
Or use Windex or throw something like dog poop in the trash can.0 -

This is the update I was waiting for! I would've had the whole batch for dinner, too. 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup baking stevia? 1 egg? I would've put a few chocolate chips in there, cuz, well... I like 'em. I wonder if that would mess up the structure too much?
Chocolate chips or white chocolate chips do not mess up the texture. (I told you I love to bake.) I have also made these with almond butter, if anyone is interested.

Yeah, I guess that's what I was wondering.Glinda1971 wrote: »Is anyone here a really long-time MFP member? Like, a lot of years? I'm really interested in whether the zeitgeist changes over time. Right now most people are totally CICO, and those who advocate a different style of eating tend to get slammed by the cool kids (sometimes rightly, to be honest - some people have very strange ideas). I wonder whether this changes over time, and whether 'clean' eating will come back in style at some point, and the latest round of cool kids will jump hard on anyone who says a calorie is just a calorie and a sugar is just a sugar? Or if low carb might become the way to go (again)? I say this as someone who has dieted through several decades and seen food fashions come and go.
Just musing. Thoughts?
Judging by some of the comments I've read out there it does seem as though the forum changes over time as to what everyone is advocating.
As the current cool kids move on perhaps the next batch will all have succeeded using LCHF and that will be the advice du jour.
When I was on (and not very active) in about 2011 I felt the vibe was much friendlier overall. It was not that dangerous or incorrect ideas were supported, just that the manner of delivery was different. I was a bit shocked at the current vibe of the board. I believe calorie counting was still focused on, but it was conveyed in a more gentle way and other viewpoints were redirected differently. *But* that is just one perspective and I was not on that much.

Although I like peanut butter itself and Reese's peanut butter anything (except the ice cream), I've always hated peanut butter cookies and don't eat anything else made with peanut butter, even *gasp* cheesecake... and cheesecake has to be one of my most favourite things ever.
Second bolded: I too am SO glad for this thread and the fantastic people that are in it. You're all so incredibly wonderful and I totally feel like we're all friends and would be too in real life. I'm 1000% jealous of all you that have met up, or are making plans to meet up in the near future. Maybe someday I will be able to join you.
Well said. Ditto.
I loooove peanut butter. I never used to care, but because my husband is severely allergic, I only get to eat peanut stuff when I go away overnight without him or he goes without me. I'm afraid to eat it and then see him right away, even if I brush my teeth and wash my hands and stuff, because it's such a bad allergy. So now I eat ALL the peanut butter whenever I actually can. I have a picture of me (used it for my FitBit profile) that I took in the car on the way to a camping trip without him where I am eating from a jar of peanut butter using the foil seal as a spoon. No shame. I carried that jar around all weekend in a neon fanny pack (sorry Brits, "bum bag").
You are my favorite person. I have an unhealthy obsession with nut butters (peanut, cashew, macadamia, almond). I usually make my own, but I will bust out some Jif in a second. I have to hide a jar or I will walk around eating out of it.
I love ALL PB flavored things.
I was so mad that the one Super Center I went too tonight didn't have the MaraNatha Caramel Almond Butter anymore! I went in so excited to pick up around 1-4 jars since I don't go to that Wal-Mart often only to see it was nowhere to be found!0 -

I really appreciate you guys listening to me vent and talk, I don't get that opportunity much. I haven't even mentioned anything that I've found out to the family yet, because I know what comes next, and I don't think I can handle their condescending remarks and snide comments right now.
That stinks that your family isn't more supportive, you could really use that. You can always talk here!!
It's okay. I'm kinda used to it, we're sort of the outcasts of the family, so it's not like we're going to get much love anyway. It's usually that we're overreacting, she's just a bad kid, or it's our fault because we don't "expose" her enough, and (my favorite) we don't discipline (aka spank) her enough and that's why she's the way she is. Everyone wants to ignore the multiple doctors that have said explicitly that something is wrong, and blame us for her problems. I've dealt with a lot of bs from his family over the years, and nothing short of us ending our marriage (which is NOT happening!) is going to ever make it better. So, I just try to ignore it and move on.
That stinks. I get it, though. I think a part of it is generational.
My daughter dealing with panic/anxiety and depression is because she doesn't get up and get out more. OK. So, she has social anxiety, the cure is to do the thing that causes the panic attacks? Meh, whatever.
Keep doing what you have to do and vent and talk all you want here...
Sadly, exposure therapy can be dangerous. If you expose yourself to too much too fast, you risk making your anxiety worse and worse. Baby steps are crucial, and it's usually recommended to only do exposure therapy with the help of a therapist if your anxiety is really bad, because they know how to do it "right". What's right is defined on a case-by-case basis, of course.
Living in the Gulf means seeing a lot of parents struggling to get their child's needs recognized when the child has any sort of issue at all, ranging from anxiety to learning disabilities to disorders like Raelynn's or even my own. Most people don't "believe" in issues like autism or dyslexia, and will act a lot like @raelynnsmama52512 mentions her family acting. My brothers both have dyslexia and my mother has struggled for all their lives to get them the help they need with no support from the government or my Arab side of the family. It's always a struggle.
I really hope Raelynn can get all the help she needs.
Thank you! ❤️
Just to give an example of what we deal with, hubby went to BIL's house to help him with some spider & flea issues today. While he was there, SIL asked "Y'all got Raelynn potty trained yet?" To which hubby replied that as of now that was on hold per her doctor's recommendation since that's such a trigger for her anxiety. The next thing she said was "Well, she's old enough and smart enough to be potty trained, those doctors don't know what they're talking about." Hubby quickly ended the conversation by telling her we would be going with what the doctor recommended and she would be potty trained when she was ready. I'm so glad I wasn't physically there, I would have lost my mind on her. I'm still pissed about it!
ETA: About the exposure part, her doctor explicitly stated NOT to try new things or push her, but to leave that to her and the therapists once that gets rolling. Her words were "You don't push her, let us do that."0 -
I just posted a question over in the Batcave. Would appreciate everyone's input, when you get the chance.
Thanks!0 -
I may be the only one this appeals to - but I was excited about this!
There is now a seaweed that when fried tastes like bacon.

As a total not-even-close-to-gymnast and a movie hater, I'm completely and utterly lost as to what you and @misskarne are talking about.
... No, that wasn't necessary. I was hoping that if I confessed to my ignorance, someone would enlighten me as to what the movies did wrong or something.

Thanks! The cheesecake bars came out BEAUTIFULLY. Crispy, golden brown on top and really pretty. Since it's cheesecake, I don't get to know what the inside looks like until it chills for a thousand hours. Bleh. I let it cool completely then carefully wrapped it in plastic until it looked like a mummified brick, then shoved it into the fridge. Delicately.
Cheesecake... now you're speaking my language! 0 -

My husband stared at me like I was crazy when I combined cookies with cheesecake. I believe he thinks I've desecrated both. I'll be sure to post some pictures later! I made the ones I kept posting about and drooling over. (These: http://prettysimplesweet.com/chocolate-chip-cookie-cheesecake-bars/)
I hope they taste good!0 -

Generally they're unrealistic portrayals of the sport in question, but aren't SO over the top that it's obvious. So, folks who were never involved think that's how the sport actually works.0 -

Cute! And congrats on being able to run! Sorry about the allergies...did you end up seeing the specialist that you had an appointment with?
Great American cookies are pretty... great. I remember when I got a Hello Kitty cookie cake as a kid.
Spoilered for a disgusting confession.I ate so much, it gave my poo a pink tinge.
I'm haven't been on the forums that long, but I'm used to more aggressive websites.0 -
Warning: I'm about to go on a friending spree by utilizing the members of the Batcave (hence what made me post my follow-up there).
Confession: I've been at work for 14 hours and I'm starting to get loopy. Stupid quarterly third shift meeting.0
