has anyone ever heard of superman ice cream? I've never tried it because it's not here in VA but friends up north rave and rave about it as the best ever.
Yeah it's a huge thing in MI. To me, it's just meh, because I ate 11 million ice cream cones of it as a kid, but I guess it's a good flavor.0 -

I had to look it up, I've never heard of it. I'd try it!
Here in NY we have Perry's Ice Cream, which is pretty much the greatest ice cream in the history of ever.0 -

It's 10 PM and I had a ton of calories left, even after dinner, because I didn't have much of an appetite today.

Then, with each bite, I scraped a little peanut butter off the wall of the bowl. Mmmmm, so good.
And then, I STILL had a ton of calories left, so I made a mock peanut butter milkshake. That was so good too.

I love vanilla too. Although, now that I've discovered Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, I would say that's my new fave.
If you like peanut butter they also have a Peanut Butter Half Baked that is good.
*Runs out to find this*
Wait for me.
Would I be universally despised if I admitted that I don't like Ben & Jerry's? I tried one of their flavors just because everyone seems to rave about them (I paid 15 dollars for it, people!!), and it was honestly pretty disappointing. :-/
My favorite brand of ice cream is London Dairy. I love pretty much ALL of their flavours. Mmmmm.
What flavour did you try?
I actually don't remember, because it was in the middle of some kind of renaming drive for charity and it had two names. :-/ I remember that it had a fudge core. And that I didn't like it much--It tasted like cheap ice cream to me. And it was ROCK HARD and nearly bent my spoon! I had to microwave it for thirty seconds just to scoop it. O.o
Now here's something weird... I went and looked at the Ben & Jerry's website and couldn't find the flavor I tried! Now I'm determined to remember the exact name. *goes back over five thousand diary entries since the month of January* I'll be back when I find it!

So...I bit the bullet and applied to the MS program I was considering. Ordered my transcripts, too. I'm confident I'll get in (not cocky, just good GPA/GMAT scores so I'm golden), and DH and I came up with a plan for how to fit the work into home life. It's going to be an extremely part-time thing, though. I may only do 1 class/semester. I found a perfect program through my job of all places. We get a good tuition deal, no app fee, etc. So I'm excited for that.
Worked out hard last night, so scale is the same this am (but hey at least no gain!)0 -

So, the vanilla Halo Top was alright. I thought it had a slightly weird aftertaste, and didn't really care for the texture. Being so low in fat made it kind of crumbly instead of creamy. I'll try the lemon tonight, but I expect a similar situation.
I'd probably keep a pint in the freezer for dessert emergencies, but if I'm planning on a treat, I'm going to invest more delicious points and get something goooooood. 0 -

I saw that one and something with peanut butter cookies. Or is that the same thing?! I'm new to the whole array of gourmet ice cream flavors.
I had B&J's Salted Caramel Core last night, the one with blondies in it. Not impressed. I'm not a fan of blondies anyway. (Who wants a blondie when you could have a brownie?) I am going to be stalking the stores looking for more The Tonight Dough. In case you can't read the description, "Caramel & Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookie Swirls & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Peanut Butter Cookie Dough." Drooly, drool, drool!
1) Salted Caramel is my lifeblood.
2) I don't have the option to eat chocolate, so that may have something to do with it.
I bought the vanilla and lemon cake Halo Top! The pints are SUPER lightweight. It's kind of weird. They're also $$$.
They were $4.99 at Wegmans, which isn't too bad.. I mean expensive enough that it's not going to be an every day thing obviously, but at least it's not $6.99 like some other ones I've seen. Haven't checked Whole Foods yet.april10472 wrote: »Sometimes when I'm really hungry and I'm with other people I stop listening to them talk and fantasize about my next meal

Not really. I wouldn't have a problem finding a date or 10, but prefer to spend my $ on others things. I also wouldn't call encounters with my lady friends dates. Dating, to me, means possibility. FWB closes the door to possibilities.0 -

Why the increase?
I put it on a "graduated plan" where you pay less in the beginning and then it bumps up every two years. And I forgot it's been two years...

This is me. I have worn contacts since I was like 14 or 16. They are the first thing that comes out when I get home. They don't bother me during the day, but the second I get home they MUST come out!
Haha I'm exactly that way too! During the day I don't even think about them but once home I'm not completely comfortable until I've taken my rinse off shower, put on my sweats, and taken out my contacts!

I'm drinking Tim Hortons coffee out of a Starbucks cup right now
I found Tim Hortons k-cups at my local grocery store this weekend and was faaaaar more excited than I probably should have been. I moved down to the United States from Canada 5 years ago and haven't had Tim Hortons coffee in a very long time, so to find it readily available so close to home was extremely emotional for me.0 -

My daughter is a HUGE TV fan. She can watch all of the current tv shows on Hulu for $7.99/month. She uses my Netflix subscription (also $7.99/month). It's plenty of TV. I will go to that when Google fiber is finally available in Nashville (they're working on it now!)0 -
Don't watch anything but game of thrones anymore, mainly because it's filmed in Belfast where I live and also because TV is complete utter garbage these days. I did the netflix free trial for 30 days recently - I watched it once then cancelled it.
In the spirit of the post I confess that I find TV to be annoying because everything is about women with 'special' power these days. They're all blameless angels who can do no wrong and every man is either a b*stard or an idiot - so I just turned it off, I get enough h*rsesh*t in my day to day life.-1 -
I don't much like the British system of student loans, but it makes me thankful it's not as bad as the American one! Our loans are linked to our income, so if you earn below a certain amount, you don't pay anything back. One less thing to worry about if you suddenly become unemployed. It only goes up as your income goes up, so is generally pretty affordable. Finally it is wiped when you retire (at 68) so you'll never lose your home over your student loans. Also, our fees are capped. It's still pretty expensive to go to university, but currently you won't pay more than 9000 pounds a year in fees, even at Oxford or Cambridge. It's still a bitter pill to swallow though, as the fee increases are quite recent. I went to university 10 years ago, and I only paid 1150 pounds in fees a year. Sucks to be ten years younger than me!0

Ok...here's one I'm reluctant to post but since this is the no judgment room, here it goes:
I haven't been on a date in just over 10 years. (No, not married).
Wow. 10 years.
I went 5 years without dating when my kids were in high school. This was a choice I made to keep our home drama free through those years.
Good luck when you decide to break your drought!0 -
TV-related confession: I don't even own one. And don't plan to. I also don't use Netflix/Hulu/other stuff. I'm a television-hating freak.

Awwe, that's so sweet. Yours sounds like a great gift too.Today is my anniversary and I confess that I am sad that this means I won't be able to go on my weekly bike ride with my girls bike group.
My husband is the best about anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Last year, he had the high school art teacher help him make me a soup bowl. It says "Soup for my Soulmate". I love it! I tell myself every year I'm going to start shopping early and find him the perfect gift. It never happens. I ended up buying him a ceramic statue at the garden center. He deserves so much better!
My husband has got better at gifts over the years, but I have had some real doozies (set of home phones for my 40th, for example
). I've got much better at saying "For my birthday, if you'd like to get me a present, I'd really love X". Or I tell my daughter. She's very good at relaying 'hints' and he's relieved because he can get something he knows I'll like.
My husband is amazing at picking gifts for me. I, on the other hand, am the worst gift giver on the planet. Seriously. I always default to perfume because I just can't think of anything else... Even if I know the person really well! :-/ I'm just really, really bad at it.
Shoot you'd be my best friend! I LOVE scents, that's typically what I ask for around birthday/Christmas- You can never have too much Tory Burch!!
Edited for spelling
Do you own any of her flats? If so, are they comfy?
My biggest designer regret was buying Joe Jeans, because the butt got extremely saggy. Luckily I bought them at www.6pm.com & didn't pay full retail.
I give way too much money to 6pm.com And yes I have two pairs of her flats and they're comfy - I love all her stuff!
Oh my sweet Pete! Why did I have to look?! I'll be back later. I have some on-line shopping to do.
I looked too. There no unseeing (or forgetting) that site. I'm in trouble.0 -

I think I might have heard of that -my son was born in 2000 so it rings a bell - I thought at first you meant the 'x Up' programmes. I've been following those for years and years, and recently watched 56 Up. What a fascinating experiment that is - really revolutionary for the its time. Is this other one similar?girldownsouth wrote: »
Me and my boyfriend just use random quotes that probably no one else knows about. For example there is a show here, not sure if you've seen it (or you may have seen the older one they did before) where they've followed people who were giving birth around the new year 2000. They show it every few years to see how the kids are growing up and developing differently. I actually really love this show and now want to know when it'll be on next. They'll be 15 now! But one year when they were about 5 or 6 they were showing them logos and one of the kids said 'i've been to tesco', in quite a sing-song way, when shown the logo for a large supermarket. We now never, ever make a trip to tesco without announcing 'i've been to tesco'.
Haha! It's unavoidable in my house. Anyone picking anyone else up in the car is required to shout "Get in loser, we're going shopping". We're all actually fluent in movie quotes. They come and go, but since last night was a re-watch of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, today there's lots of London slang and "It's been emotional"s.

My confession is my wife dragged me to the store for a wardrobe upgrade on Saturday...and I enjoyed every minute of it! (4+ hours.)
After years of bargain XL shirts and 38" dockers, there is something awfully gratifying about trying on M slim-fit work shirts, and 32 x 32 work slacks - and having them fit great. Also picked up some new shorts, T-shirts, running shoes (sweet Nike Free 4.0 Flyknits - so comfortable!)
Then going through my closet & getting rid of some thrashed work pants, L T-shirts that billow on me....I now understand where the term Retail Therapy comes from, lol
You go Glen Coco!
The last line of this post is why I wish you were my mom, SO COOL LADY!
I now feel super uncool compared to you with your lock stock quotes...
Yes, it's called child of our time, and was the same thing as the 7 up etc ones (I think basically a remake for the new millennium). Are the original ones on you tube or something then? I've watched child of our time from the beginning, but I'm too young for the others, although I didn't realise they were still going. I'd love to go back and watch them as well, I find them so fascinating.

For anyone reading and wondering what we're talking about, it's a TV documentary that started in 1964 with a bunch of 7 year old children who were interviewed about their lives, aspirations etc. They've been followed every 7 years since, and are now 56 years old. It's really fascinating, and sometimes very surprising, to see how their lives have panned out (very diverse backgrounds - orphanages to very financially privileged kids).
Wish I'd watched it on Netflix when I was over there instead of trying and failing to get into friends again (sorry @LBuehrle8 - I know that's very offensive to you!). Anyone over there with Netflix you should definitely give it a go. I'm sure you'd also enjoy the variety of regional British accents.
Haha no offense taken but I can't understand how one cannot get into Friends! @Mohousdon did you see this?!
I did now.

Broken14/06/15
Sometimes I think my body’s like
A hollow husk of skin
The pieces inside like scattered shards
Of glass; piercing me within
They’re the thoughts that ravage me
That tear at my heart, my soul
Until I feel there’s nothing left
But bloody, ragged holes
They’re the emotions; the ones that choke
Like a damp blanket on my face
I gasp, I panic, I try to breathe
But all my effort goes to waste
It’s the dread that follows me
As I go about my day
It haunts and whispers nasty things
And it just won’t go away
I cut my fingers as I try so hard
To reconnect those broken shards
With a glue of hope, of life and love
And hope for healing with no scars
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And I run off to hide awhile
To cry a little, lick my wounds
And not have to fake a smile
I take refuge in the arms of the one I love
For him I’ll keep trying my all
He’s always there to soothe the hurt
And to catch me when I fall
He deserves to have the best
So even as I sob and wish to die
I get up and keep going through the dark
Praying for my tears to one day dry
So back I go to try again
Maybe today will be the day
As long as there’s life in this broken shell
Faith in God will lead the way
This is beautiful and so sad too. I really hope one day you are able to put those pieces together.
Still waiting to catch the woman at the barn that is a counselor. She hasn't been back since her dog died. But her horse is still there so she will show up eventually!
I'm so glad @pofoster21 reads backwards, otherwise I would have missed this in my attempts to catch up. This is beautiful @Susieq_1994girldownsouth wrote: »kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »I wish TJMAXX would hurry up & open their store that's closer to me.
Fun fact: here it's called TK MAXX (not really that fun a fact...) They also don't seem to have as much good stuff. In America they seem to have proper cut price designer items, here it seems to be cheaper, but I think a lot of the stuff are labels I've never heard of they have made for them.
I love Marshalls. Never been a fan of TJ Maxx. You really have to watch their stuff. Lots with tears and stains etc.
I feel this way about Ross too. Either those things, or the seams/hems are weird or crooked or uneven. When I buy clothes, I don't want to have to get out my Inspector Gadget magnifying glass to make sure it's not messed up somehow.
