    I confess that I am SO OVER this back injury. Dude, just GET OUT OF HERE. *grumpgrumpgrump*

    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. :sweat:

    *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. :p 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 :p) to buy ingredients to bake chewy speculoos spread cookies. My calorie intake is not pretty today.

    ... But those cookies were amazing.

    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! :o

    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. :p

    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!

    A pdf would be fabulous! I have been thinking about this for a while but know I would never get to it. This would be fabulous. Or even a picture that represents that person. :) Like a horse for me. I will have to find a recipe to post now. ;)

    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?

    So there is a pretty major wildfire near my house. Luckily we have the river between our house and the fire. A coworker, however, had to evacuate yesterday and may lose his home. I've been thinking of, and praying for, him all day. His name is Dave, if anyone wants to chip in.

    Will definitely keep your friend in my thoughts & prayers. I'm hoping it misses his house.

    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.

    @Tubbs216 great to hear that the first surgery went smoothly & she doesn't have to lay on the massage table for two weeks.

    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.

    What a douche canoe.

    My words EXACTLY!

    My mother had her leg cut off with a spinal......sometimes they have to do it.....

    Glad your sister is doing alright!

    I am glad you did not get in his car. It might have been by design that he was trying to get you drunk while he was of sound mind. Maybe he had panty hose and heels IN the car :#

    My cousin in Washington is having her in-laws evacuate to her house. It's pretty bad out there.
    Down here in Texas I have had the 'privilege' of putting out two grass fires along the side of the road. With some common sense, things like this can be prevented! :angry: :

    I also love all the people who drive by the grass fires like 'not my problem.'
    B**** YOU LIVE HERE! It's 'bout to BE your problem! :rage::rage:


    ETA: I wasn't here for the Bastrop County Complex Fire, but I have been the museum!
    Over 34,000 acres GONE, over 1600 homes and two lives lost!
    The most destructive wildfire in Texas history happened only 4 years ago and people just don't CARE!

    I'm curious - to those who lift, do you wear a HRM to track calorie burn? I'm just curious about it because I recently got an HRM and was wondering whether the chest strap thing would get in the way if I was lifting.

    I do. It doesn't. I wear mine anytime I work out to know exactly how long the workout was and how many calories I burned.

    Anyone heard from @KylerJaye? Hoping she's doing ok.

    I was wondering that too.

    I hope she's alright, and that we'll hear from her soon. She did imply that she was going to stay away for a while.

    I hope she's listening to all the songs we suggested on a big loop.

    Again, thanks for positive thoughts for my sister. It's very encouraging to hear of people who have had good results after the same injury. If anyone knows of bad outcomes, thanks for not telling me about them. :)

    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. <3
    Thank you. I'm waiting for this morning's update. Last I heard was that the surgery was done, but for some reason they used a bubble of oil instead of the usual bubble of gas to stabilize the repair. From what I read, the outcome isn't as good, although the recovery is easier because it's not necessary to keep the head forward like you do with the gas. My BIL said he was taking her home late last night, and that she had to be back in for an early morning check today.

    Been thinking of you and your sister @Tubbs216 - thanks for the updates. I hope she heals quickly, completely and easily. Please keep us posted!

    Yes please. Hope all is great and heals well.

    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.

    FTFY.

    I don't know, personally I'd want him to try it on at some point... And if there was stuff he was into I'd want to know about it eventually. But not on the first date.
