Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I don't see how parking spaces "reserved" for parents are an issue, especially since they aren't really regulated.
Though, as someone who was in a wheelchair and had to GO, please don't take up handicap stalls unless you absolutely have to.0 -
Re: the vegan thread that was posted earlier... You could probably substitute "child free" for "vegan" and have the exact same conversation.
(Child free meaning the movement of people who are childless by conviction/choice and refer to people who have children as "breeders", not meaning people who are childless in general)0 -

If I were you, I'd ignore her. I've come to the conclusion that she's just a bitter old woman who can't procreate so she takes her anger out on those who can.
It would be a damn shame if this thread got shut down because we got all judgey on someone for their judgements. This is a thread where we turn the other cheek. I almost went down that road, too. Let's just leave it alone, shall we?0 -
On the subject of names, my son has a VERY Italian name......however, he is half Jamaican also.....so I have a pretty dark mixed child with a huge afro, actually used to be dreadlocks, whose name sounds like an old Italian man. Everyone thinks it's great lol.0

I saw the vegan thread. I don't really the need to argue. I don't really care how other people eat, my MIL is vegan and not the biggest fan of her grandkids chowing down on meat but w/e. She is generally polite about it and we make vegan food for her when she comes.
Same things with childless/child free people. I just don't get the overt hostility and obnoxiousness to strangers over the internet. You be child free and enjoy, no need to be disrespectful.0 -

Fair enough. Redacted. Please deleted the quoted section. Apparently this forum doesn't auto delete once quoted.

Yup. I have vegan/vegetarian friends and child free friends. No problem with any of it. I generally try to be as accommodating as I can be. But there are certain conversations that once they begin, I just walk away.0 -

I think that second one was another Garbage Pail Kid. Who thought those would be a good idea??0 -
I went to Target tonight to pick up one thing, and wound up finding clearance Talenti gelato. I only bought two, and am kind of regretting not buying a third. I'm either going to go over my calories to have some of both, or I'm going to try and exercise a little once I've put my son to bed.
(Hint: I'm definitely not going to do the second option)0 -
OMG ME TOO!!! It's all quantity for me too...I get this immense happy feeling when I look at a large portions and know that I can eat the WHOLE THING!!! It must be residuals from my days of emotional over eating. I feel the same way you do!!! I don't binge eat often, but when I do it's like a psych visit to the glory days.
LOL! My coworkers always laugh at my Jethro bowls of salad & are amazed that I can eat six cups of lettuce mix in one sitting.0 -

Which ones did you get?
I'm in grad school and struggling to work on a paper I have due. I am making sooo many excuses it is just sad. I think I will go to Target tonight if I actually do some work to reward myself.

I sometimes go and hang out at the library, under the guise of "getting bedtime stories" for the children.0

Why? I am curious why you HAVE to move outside if you have an indoor track you obviously enjoy more?
Summers are so short and I refuse to pay for a gym membership for the summer when I can exercise for free. Hubby is the runner but we do pretty much everything together. Right now we've been running track for about 30-45 minutes and then hubby and I will go play pickleball (think tennis but on a badminton court with a wiffle ball and two small paddles). Once it warms up, it will be tennis, biking, golf, which are all the fun things...and outdoor running. My work gym is free so I will still be doing my weights there (it is too small for a track)

Confession:
When I have too many leftovers in the house and things are going to go bad, I feel like I need to consume as much as possible to reduce the waste. I have been trying to keep leftovers to a minimum to avoid this, but Easter was Sunday, so tonight, and tomorrow night, I will be having several desserts.....?0 -

Hazelnut and Banana Chocolate Swirl. I wish I had picked up the Double Chocolate. Those were the only ones on clearance.0 -
I can't find Hazelnut anywhere. Very limited flavors in the only 3 places I know of that carry Talenti. Some day...

I bought a pie, ate one tiny piece and had to throw the rest away before I ate the whole darn thing. Not just throw it away. I mashed it up (but it still looked tasty) and dumped water over it before tossing it, pan and all, into the trash. I see alot of that behavior in my future.0

The regular Hazelnut flavor you can only get at Target. The Hazelnut Chocolate Chip & most of the newer flavors I've found at Giant. I still can't find The Raspberry Cheesecake.0 -

I like your pic
You'd get along well with the one early in the thread who had to drown a jar of peanut butter for its crimes.0 -
I confess that I have never had talenti. I'm pretty sure I've had gelato...maybe? I'm nervous to try it because I already occasionally have to get Ben and Jerry's half baked...0

I find it to be incredibly satisfying for the calories it contains. Even a half portion is usually enough to satisfy a decent craving. Of course, I had like half a container the other night, but I had an insatiable craving. That's a whole different beast.0 -
The Hazelnut one is one of my favorites. Enjoy! How is the Banana Swirl? I have seen it around, but I'm not sure if I would like it enough to buy it.0

Confession 2 - Flights to Orlando make me *kitten* despise Disney (both the World and Walt for creating it) and children in general (or maybe their *kitten* terrible awful parents).
Confession 3 - A hefty portion of my expense reimbursement will be for alcohol. I will defend myself with Confession 2 if challenged.
Confession 4 - So. Many. Peeps.
I don't even know much about you @tincanonastring but I did enjoy your posts and I'm excited to see what you post next!0 -

I must say I like yours as well. He is my motivational buddy and my stress doll.0 -
If you can find it in your area, I'd also recommend Siviero Maria gelato. The tiramisu was amazing.0

There are a lot of foods that I've read about on MFP that I've never tried before. The descriptions people give make them sound absolutely divine. It is about the time it really starts sounding good to me that I decide I will never ever try them. I do not need that much temptation in my life.

I need to find someone who buys talenti so I can try it, just to see if it lives up to the hype. Any more than a spoonful would make me sick, so not really worth it to buy it myself.0
