    Hey all,

    Yesterday was pretty dark for me, but today is better (so far). Thank you for the love and support. I'm trying to be productive because that usually cheers me up a bit.

    However, I am stumped!

    I want to bake something tasty for my family, but I have no ideas! I want to do something I don't make a lot (so not a bread and not chocolate chip cookies). They already ATE the dozen cinnamon rolls I made, so I don't want to make those again either.

    Any ideas??

    P.S. Nothing with nuts and nothing with raisins; my husband thinks raisins are a lie and my son thinks nuts are a lie and he doesn't like them in his food (crazy people).

    This is crack!

    My god I forgot these existed

    I'm already on my second batch. I regret remembering they existed. 😭

    I'm going to make these tonight 😋

    @KickassAmazon76 LOVE your new picture!!

    How is your arm today?

    Aww thank you! <3

    It is SO MUCH BETTER! Yesterday I managed to get my arm vertical enough to grab onto the top of my power rack and eased into a hang. I felt something pop and I wonder if maybe somehow I had gotten out of alignment. I sat into the hang for a bit and stretched out the muscles around my shoulder and I feel significantly better today. (I even got to sleep last night!)

    I confess, I am nervous about trying to lift (because that pain was very real), and yet... I want to lift anyways. I may give it another day and then (try to) ease into a light session. My pride seems to be directly proportional to how much weight is on the bar, and I'm often my own worst enemy.

    So one of my friends on here has the flu....thankfully not Covid. But it got me thinking, the flu season this year has been birtually non existent. While Covid spikes, flu disappears.....correlation? Maybe covid kills influenza? Maybe when we all have covid antibodies Covid will be the influenza vaccine?

    Please dont take me serious.......

    Looks like 2 people took you serious. :)
    That was one of my observations this season so far. People might actually be staying home more when sick, like they should be. :)

    And honestly... If people were as diligent with the flu as they have been with covid, the prevalence would be down significantly.

    "Stay home if you're sick" was a pipe dream when it was "just the flu" . The expectation was almost understood that unless you were dead, you'd be at work.

    Now with masks, hand washing and social distancing... A lot of communicable diseases will naturally reduce in volumes.

    Yeah but for how long is the question? We humans get too comfortable too fast. Once masks are not a requirement a lot of the hand washing and staying home when sick won't be a priority anymore because the flu doesn't come with a death sentence like covid does.. Of course these are my thoughts and my opinions only and you're allowed disagree with me 🙂

    Oh I agree entirely. Complacency is the enemy of progress. I think it's a momentary blip in the grand scheme of things. (Also welcome people to disagree. haha)

    A friend of mine brought Christmas Crack to work last year and I almost went out of my mind. I need to get her recipe, but this one sounds pretty close. (She didn't use nuts on hers and actually sprinkled a bit of crushed candy cane on top for a holiday flair)

    I hope the disagree on my post above was a mistake.
    I stated facts that happened, what is there to disagree with in that horribly tragic situation?
    Please, if it was on purpose have the balls to explain why you disagree.

    I double checked to make sure it wasn't me (it wasn't). It doesn't make sense why anyone would disagree with your statement or your personal experience..
    So sad to read of your loss 😔

    ‘Stick your neck out’ is synonymous with being brave

    But when a chicken is being a chicken and sticks his neck out, he gets his head lopped off

    Moral of the story:
    i dunno, something something brave chickens

    don't be such a silly goose

    So you agree its weird

    There is a passive aggressive slimer, slimin' the people and they don't deserve it. No one does but it gives me a big pinch when they slime the sweet lil people everywhere. @slimgirljo15
    @Faetta I completely agree but several have tried in the past. Look at mine @Faetta

    @honeybee__12
    It is happening everywhere. I only have one forum wish for Christmas, that would be to get rid of disagrees over here in chit/chat and fun and games. Go ahead and keep it in the debate section but get rid of it everywhere else. It hurts feelings and many newbies are shot right out of the saddle with their first post with massive disagrees and they never ever come back. Save disagrees for debate only and then just go to town and have at it. Save all chop busting discussions for debate.

    I could write a letter but I don't know who to send it to. I don't agree that disagrees make a forum a nicer place. No, they don't. I have been on other forums and they didn't have any woos or disagrees or negative feedback and there weren't any fights over anything. Anything started, it was stopped and it just made for a pleasant experience all of the way around. There is a way. I know there is a way.


    You can have a welcoming committee but when a newbie encounters all kinds of negative reactions right out of the chute they ain't coming back. I remember many of these people and they had no idea what hit them upside the head. They are new and they don't know there's abrasive people just waiting to pounce on their tender hearts. It ain't good and a change, a positive change is love overdue. Let kindness reign supreme.

    @honeybee__12 Life is a rodeo. :D

    I woke up this morning feeling angry and sad. It's been a challenging year for so many people, including myself.

    Life really doesn't seem fair at times, I'm especially reminded of this at Christmas time.

    This week I will visit my parent's grave site and wish them a Merry Christmas. The tears will flow and emotions will run from anger to heartbreak. One can only pray they will be there to console me. I miss them so very much. 💔

    I've since adjusted my thoughts to focus on all the things I have to be thankful for. The little things we take for granted every day. The job I have, my healthy, beautiful children, my morning coffee, my warm bed, my paycheck. I don't take these these for granted.

    Sometimes we have to dig deep and find the silver linings when everything around us seems to be falling apart. It's not always easy, but it's important to stay focused on what we do have, not what we've lost or don't have.

    Many of you here have been such a light in my life. Whether it be a compliment, a sarcastic remark, or a silly gif. I just want to thank you (you know who you are) all and take this time to wish you all the beauty of the holiday season. ❤️ I appreciate you all.

    You’re the good, sis ❤️
