@HollandOats - I do tartar sauce on my fries, and that's basically just mayo with pickles and extra salt. And I use a 1:1 ratio of tartar to fry. Restaurants always look at me crazy but it's super delicious.0

I still beat myself up regularly for all the ways I feel like I've failed my children. Whenever they have an issue or a problem I immediately think about what I could've done differently or should have not done or said, but they DO know I love them and I'm their biggest fan in spite of my faults and shortcomings. I cannot comprehend the way some parents treat their own children. That's where my ranting about "don't have kids unless you really want to!" comes to play. Some people are not meant to be parents, but they don't think it out ahead of time.
In reality, you've probably never "failed" your children
The bold part is what's really important.0 -

Yes! I do this with cocktails. I like Crystal Light lemonade with either Bicardi Limon or silver tequila and fresh lime, so I keep a tray of Crystal Light ice cubes in the freezer. No watered down drinks around here!0 -

Agree. Parenting is so hard because you can't know if you've done OK until it's pretty much too late. All you can do is do what you think is best at the time and love them.
I know as an adult I appreciate my dad's strict parenting choices more. My mom was a mess. Even so, I know she loves us regardless of her past mistakes.

I like Arby's Horsey sauce on their curly fries.

Worst confession I've read here, ewwwwwww. I loathe weak coffee...I'm the one who likes the cup from the bottom of the french press that's practically strong enough to stand up on its own.
But that leads to a confession that I do put a splash of cold water in my super-strong coffee to cool it down for maximum immediate gulbability, and that grosses most people out too.
I thought I was the only person who did this! I can down a 16 oz. coffee in under 5 minutes...it is the fastest way to get the caffeine in, without actually injecting it!
I got tired of the whole coffee thing. Felt like it was more work than it was worth and I don't like it hot so I would drink 2, 3, 4 day old coffee. I started taking half a 5 Hour Energy in the morning and half in the afternoon and it works much better for me.
RE: 5 Hour Energy:
You can buy B Vitamin Complex in liquid form from any vitamin shoppe (I think mine are from Puritan's Pride) and it comes with a dropper, you drop a measure of the liquid under your tongue. It's like ultra-concentrated 5 Hour Energy, for a much lower cost per use. And I can attest, when my butt is dragging, and I drop a double dose under my tongue, I am perked up within the half hour! (Those 5 hour energies can get expensive).
I hardly ever need them but when I do (Dos Equis commercial), I get them from Dollar Tree. 5-HE are crazy expensive!!!0 -

I put ranch on my fries, and on pizza, cheeseburgers...never on salads. I use Italian dressing on salads, or sometimes zero dressing and just eat the vegetables.

That's exactly what I thought, too.0 -
I use Heinz English Salad Cream pretty much anywhere mayo would be appropriate. Love the stuff, pay a goofy price for it, and always have a bottle in the fridge.0

Yessss. Ranch is the BEST. I have to be picky about where I get it from though because a lot of places throw MSG in it (Hidden Valley, Wishbone, etc...). There's a place in Northeast Ohio called Yours Truly that makes their own and it's so so good. The best/worst combo is ranch with Notso fries smoootherrreddd in cheese, bacon, and sour cream.

Thank you! I wrote that post in response to feeling so angry about all the terrible things others here have gone through with their parents. I hope it wasn't perceived as I was looking for credit or validation. It wasn't about me (although I do appreciate the responses). And after reading those terrible experiences I feel foolish for whining about my own life.0 -

Agreed 100%. Again I work in child support so daily I deal with people who definitely should never ever procreate BUUUUUT they do. It's sad honestly.0 -

Hahaha! Nice reference! Also, congrats on the recent weight loss! I wanted to comment on your post a few pages back but I always seem to be scrambling to keep pace here.0 -

Whenever I'm overseas (so not at home in Germany) people always look at me when I put mayo on my fries. Here, almost everybody does that. When you order 'fries red/white' you get it with mayo and ketchup. When I was younger there was one brand that sold mayo and ketchup together in one bottle, swirled the way multi-colored toothpaste is.0 -
Tomorrow I will be in training all day. This makes me sad for 3 reasons.
1. I have no idea what we'll be served for lunch so I can't log it accurately.
2. I won't be able to be on here at all.
3. Since I do my HIIT at my office, I'll be missing tomorrow's workout.
I am, however, looking forward to being out of the office for the day and getting paid for it, also...FREE LUNCH!!!
