Can you keep it going asking ONLY QUESTIONS?

nossmf

Your whirlwind confused me...was your big news share the fact you got a new job? The way you worded your week, am I excused for confusedly thinking you'd accepted a job Monday only to resign the same job the very next day?

nossmf

Shall we all raise a toast to celebrate your new job? While normally a toast of beer or wine is customary, considering the crowd in this thread, shall we instead toast your success with coffee?

cmsienk

How about we toast with specialty coffees? Cat, do you prefer a latte, a cappuccino, or maybe a Frappuccino?

frankwbrown

Shall I answer for Cat with "espresso frappuccino"?
Since it's the weekend for her, might she be having too much fun to respond?

nossmf

Any guesses the size of the coffee Cat takes along for the first day on the new job?

cmsienk

Unless it's one of those days when I need a lot of caffeine, aren't I partial to a grande sized coffee drink?

On another note, why would someone ruin a perfectly good salad by sprinkling Bleu Cheese all over it? 🤮

frankwbrown

Aren't I also partial to the grande size for hot drinks, but, unless I'm concerned about calories, don't I go for venti size frappuccinos and refresher drinks?

What? You don't like bleu cheese? Don't I often add a little bleu cheese (and sunflower seeds, and pecans, and croutons, and cherry tomatoes, and...) to the prepared Chicken Caesar Salads I buy (because I'm too lazy to actually make my own salads)? 😋

@nossmf will you forgive me for confusing you? Don’t I also see that I’ve inadvertently embarrassed you and owe you a second apology? 🤗

For my first day, won’t I likely have a venti or two? 😅

Cat0703a

Isn’t it good that @cmsienk have a shared love of coffee and conversation since it seems like we will never be compatible dinner friends? Though perhaps she’ll eat my peas and I’ll eat her blue cheese, pickles, and mustard? 😂

frankwbrown

Have you had a great first day off, Cat, enjoying some pickles and mustard I assume, along with those venti espresso frappuccinos? 😝😋😂

Cat0703a

Would you be surprised to hear I didn’t have any of the above? 😂 Perhaps later once the nachos and ice cream cake settle? 🙈

cmsienk

Will you be surprised to hear I can get on board with nachos and ice cream cake?

Cat0703a

Isn’t that excellent news? 😂

cmsienk

Can we now be compatible dinner friends? 😁

Cat0703a

Even though we’d be working against our goals? 😆

Won’t the answer always be yes? 🤗

frankwbrown

Isn't it quite the coincidence that I just had nachos for lunch, and just now not ice cream cake, but ice cream at least?

frankwbrown

Wasn't today my "treat day" because after weeks of yo-yoing weight-wise, didn't I lose 4 pounds this past week? 🥳😊

Were we food twinsies today???

🥳 Isn't that great news?

After weeks of not being able to lose even 1lb, didn’t I decide to stop eating treats and drinking beverages with added sugar? While I'm allowing myself 2 servings of fruit a day, aren't I on day 5 of no chocolate covered raisins, raspberry lemonade, ice cream, cookies, etc.? Aren't I down 3lbs so far?

frankwbrown

Is that legal, being food twinsies? 😂

Isn't it amazing how cutting out all those calorie-heavy sweets can contribute to sudden weight-loss progress? 🤔😂
Don't I wish we could have our cake and eat it too though? 😂

Haven't I promised myself 1 treat once I get to 5 lbs lost? Isn't the plan to go back to no sweets until I get to another 5 lbs lost?

frankwbrown

Isn't it a good plan to allow a treat after achieving a goal? Doesn't that give you something to look forward to? Isn't my strategy -- which I started out with two years ago but drifted away from these past months -- to get a reward on Friday if and only if I lost at least a set amount of weight that week?

cmsienk

Didn't I go to a birthday party with picnic fare food today? Wasn't my treat a wedge of 🍉, but no cake or ice cream?

CandycaneDimondSparkle

Can I say good job?

Can I say I hope yall had a super saturday?

frankwbrown

Is it Superbowl Sunday yet?

cmsienk

Don't you have 5 months (or 24 weeks, or 167 days or 4,022 hours) to wait?

frankwbrown

I wonder, how many steps can I get in, in that number of months/weeks/days/hours? 🤔
Aren't I finishing the last of a Starbucks Doubleshot Energy drink (as opposed to coffee/mocha for a change) before my walk this morning?
Which cup of coffee are you on now, considering your earlier time zone?

cmsienk

Didn't I have one cup of coffee while making blueberry pancakes for a late breakfast and a 2nd cup while eating them? After I do my dishes, don't I think I'll head outside to sit on the deck and drink a third before going for a walk?

frankwbrown

Wait, where are you at, finishing a late breakfast at 8:52am PDT?
And how's the weather for a mid-morning walk?
(Don't I tend to walk as early as possible, to avoid the heat locally?) 🥵
((BTW, I love blueberries and blueberry pancakes. My local Sprouts market has blueberries on sale, and I plan on getting some. I love 'em in breakfast cereal, but I might have 'em in pancakes tomorrow!))

cmsienk

Don't I try to walk earlier for the same reason? Wasn't I eating Keto blueberry pancakes at 10 am EST? Isn't it 80° F now but wasn't it 5° cooler a couple of hours ago?
