I have a stash too. Most of mine consists of faves that I can't get here but pick up on occasional forays into the US... white chocolate Reese's, white chocolate KitKats, white chocolate M&Ms (sensing a theme here? lol)... and "save" them due to their scarcity.
I definitely eat them eventually. Most of the time I forget they're there though.
I'm in the US and didn't realize white chocolate M&M's even existed!
Apparently only at Target
Hm...interesting! Are they good?
Last time I was there I bought 3 of the biggest bags I could find. Feed the Neighbourhood Size. Ohhh yes, they're good.

Much like @tincanonastring I overreact to insignificant things.
Everyone I work with says ECK-specially. When they say it, I quit listening.
And Eck-spresso? I hate "supposably" instead of supposedly. One that always makes me giggle is I've heard of someone using "excrucianating"
I personally hate "could of" instead of "could have."
What about "could've?" I'm an absolute speed talker, so while I know it's "could have" I'm totally guilty of making them into one word, though I definitely stress the V sound, over the F sound.0 -
I'm also 'between jobs' and I confess I haven't done anything more than walking and the odd little jog. I thought I'd become a proper yoga mom and even maybe join the gym, but I haven't done either. Instead I spend WAY too long on MFP every day.I went to a job interview recently for a fairly lucrative position and the guy interviewing me used "orientated" twice. Ironically enough, I did not get the position. His loss. I am laid off as of this Friday and I'm excited to have ample time for work outs. At least for the time being.

That's a very common pronunciation of Missouri, especially for people who live in the Ozarks.
I get it though, I want to throw my laptop through the window every time I see "Your" used instead of "You're". It's incredibly common. I have no idea how people get away with this and have jobs.
I have a staff of editors at my company, and I have had TWO people apply, saying that they are, "detailed orientated."
...yet apparently not detailed oriented enough...
I lady who works in my old department refers to the life squad as an "ambliance." She also calls lemurs "madagascars." There's a whole list of these but I can't remember them off the top of my head.0 -

I confess that this guy bugs me with his lack of gym etiquette and I judged him a little.
Seriously? You're gonna work out but still be so lazy about it that you can't carry your Dumbbells to the bench? How 'bout let's just put the bench right in front of the rack so no one else can use them while we do DB presses with our feet up in the air.
He also has a bad habit of pulling the incline bench to the smith machine and then leaving it there when he's done. >.<0 -

My cousin's wife once told me she had a new job working at the libary. I confess I used to ask her to tell me again where she worked, when we were around other people, just to hear her say libary. I imagined her cataloging books or some such thing and just had to wonder. Turns out she cleaned after hours.

Confessions:
I have read this entire thread on my phone while walking laps around my kitchen, dining room and foyer. It's addictive and I've got 18k steps in the past couple days.
I cannot stand touching wet skin. (Not my own but I avoid touching other people's wet skin if possible as it makes me nauseous.) I also can't stand touching aluminum foil and cardboard. *gag*
I have consumed more calories today in Whiskey than food (medicinal reasons). I feel better & I'm still under my goal. I log everything religiously.
Whenever someone notices my weight loss and asks me how I did it, I'm going to say "I eat a pinecone every day."
You all know if I say " I watch what I eat and exercise" they will be sad so... I am really just bringing more joy to the world. I will straighten them out so I'm not to blame when somebody chokes to death on a pinecone but for a brief moment, they will have the secret knowledge of an ancient magical weight loss cure. And I will have the satisfaction of knowing that many people would rather eat a pinecone than count calories.

My confession is that this sentence kind of broke my brain.
Also that I like the pinecone thing.0 -

ROFL! I take tempting foods and put them down the trash chute, asking myself why in the world I brought that item home in the first place because I know I have no willpower over certain things!
Thanks for the giggle!

I was just sitting on the couch and saw it was 11:55 and looked at my Vivofit and I was at 9456 steps. I was like I CAN DO IT and I got up and jogged in place as hard as I could. It ticked over at 9986

I haven't been on much today, but I took a quick look at the boards earlier and THOROUGHLY enjoyed the Low Crab Diet thread.
Now I can't find it. Sadness.0 -

This happened to me today in the car. I was not in a place where I could get out, so I did a bunch of lurchy movements while driving until I hit my goal of 12,000.

OMG that made me laugh my *kitten* off. I hope that someone somewhere saw you and spent all day wondering if you were having a seizure or just listening to really wacky music.

It took a good 15 minutes of bouncing around to get the 40 or so "steps" that I needed. It was dark freeway at almost midnight, but it's quite possible that somebody did a double take.0 -

Oh, now you got me started: to instead of too, loose instead of lose, there instead of their, your instead of you're (I know you already said this) These are all big issues for me, I can't stand seeing this ignorance. I know sometimes it is just a typo but it still drives me nuts.
It only bothers me when it's someone who is simultaneously trying to correct someone else's grammar (or more often, their "grammer"). I have a few friends really bothered by it, so I confess I'll occasionally post something to their fb like:
I'm so threw with you're getting sew upset with how people should of spelled they're when they mean their, like those too houses over thataway.
It's usually the "should of" that pushes them over the edge.
I used to have a boss like this. She was a horrible, lying, racist wench anyway, but her ignorant grammar corrections made me twitch. She was constantly correcting memos and sending them back around with her edits, but she would say "mute point" and "I seen" constantly. Rawr!0 -

The problem, sadly, isn't one that can be resolved in a night. I don't know if anyone else is in an interracial relationship, and normally, I don't even think about it, but issues have come up recently with his friends not appreciating my whiteness being involved with him. And I've finally had a tiny taste of what he has had to deal with for a very long time, and it's opened up my eyes, and makes me realize how selfish I can be about some things. But the issue for me, is I don't bring that stuff home. I never make racial jokes, or comment, but he is forever joking around every time we have a difference in opinion and says it is because I am white. I feel like he is putting a big space between us by bringing those types of comments into our relationships. Like he is highlighting a meaningless difference. (Not meaningless in the world in general it seems, but in terms of our relationship)
And that was a whole lot more personal and ranting than I wanted it to be. SORRY! To stay on topic, confession wise: Sometimes I think I would be happier if I just stayed huge. Because when you're bigger people don't notice anything about you except your weight. And that is comfortable, because it is like a disguise.
I was in a relationship with a guy of another race and he was forever pointing out differences & making comments about it, things I never would've even noticed or thought of. I felt the same way you do, like he was putting a big space between us over something that shouldn't have mattered. We weren't together for a long time so I'll never know if it would've become an issue (he had some other major issues that led to us breaking up!) but it was eye opening for me.
I hope you two can work it out!
That sucks.I confess that I haven't read the most recent Stephen King books, even though I've read all the others (agreed about the Stand... end kinda sucked, but I still loved that book). To be honest, I read them all pretty much in a year when I was 14 so I've forgotten most of them...
I did like Firehouse Sub, but a medium was not enough for me (I got the New York Steamer without mayo on wheat). So I went home and finished last night's shepherd's pie too. That's what happens I guess when you're up at 4.30am and have breakfast at 6am because you're starving.
Confession - I actually feel sad for people who are so proud to be 'clean eating'. I kinda pity them because they deprive themselves of delicious foods for no reason. I always feel obligated to reply that I've lost 80 pounds eating 'bad' food.
I'm glad you got to try it. I really like it. Would you go back? Maybe try something different, the hero, or hook and ladder. I never finish my whole sandwich because I devour my chips and most of my 32 oz. Dr. Pepper. Glad you tried it and like it though.
I might go back. I don't know. I'm a bread snob and I'd rather have a good old baguette on my subs I guess... plus it would probably be more filling.
My confession is that someone mentioned on another thread that grilled cheese sandwiches is the first thing they learned how to cook... I have no idea how to make a grilled cheese. Quite sure that when I tried, it was burned outside and the cheese wasn't melted enough.
Grilled cheese was literally the first thing all 4 of my kids learned to cook and I can remember my oldest cooking the thing on like 8 out of 10 heat. Just like you described, black outside, half-melted cheese at best inside. On our electric range, the perfect heat is 4-5 out of 10 (medium heat) and it takes about 4 minutes the first side, 2.5-3 on the second to make perfect, golden brown grilled cheese. The kids like theirs less toasted, so it's more like 3 and 3 minutes.
That was me. I used to babysit my younger sister in the summers and I'd make grilled cheese for her and several of her friends (and myself, of course). Loved it. We had a perfect square pan for making 4 at a time.
My dad taught me how to make grilled cheese. I didn't realize until I was an adult that most people don't butter the inside on the sandwich. He would layer it butter, bread, cheese, butter, cheese, bread, butter. It makes me feel queasy thinking about it now... But every now and then I am tempted to make it that way.0 -

Since losing weight I literally can not go into town without buying at least one item of clothing. Enjoying clothes is a new thing for me and the novelty value of things a) fitting at all and b) looking pretty good still hasn't worn off. Luckily I have an eye for a bargain so I'm not overspending but I do have a significant (and ever increasing) stash of 'holiday clothes' in various shopping bags in the bottom of my wardrobe. Come July I'm never going to have time to wear them all, let alone fit them all in my suitcase!0

I think my mother is jealous of the fact I get on so well with my in-laws (they're great!).
I'm tempted to tell her that perhaps if she didn't make a negative comment about my weight every. single. time. I visit, perhaps I would prefer to spend more time with her. She even makes these comments after my weight loss, and I was never huge to begin with. Ruins my day every time. But I can't be bothered to face the drama so I just ignore it, carry on, and spend more time with my in-laws.0 -

I've done that in a pinch when I had a Christmas tree where the treadmill goes. 120 laps = 1 mile. It's convenient, but no way I could read while I did it. I'd end up running into walls after every corner.0 -
-Someone left an almost full bottle of shampoo in the shower at my gym, I threw it in my gym bag and have been using it for the past several weeks... I justify it by telling myself the staff would've thrown it out anyway. Happy to have it since they frequently run out of soap in the dispenser and don't keep it refilled.
-A frequent breakfast of mine is 2 hardboiled eggs, chopped up and mixed with Louisiana hot sauce. It makes a sort of paste like consistency. I eat it at work and definitely get some strange looks.

Confession: I lack the ability to smell a select few things. It's a short list of things I can't smell and I'm not going to lie, I consider it a superpower and not a disability.
Smells to which I am immune:
Flatulence
Skunk
Onion
The crazy thing is that this happened somewhere around my pre-teen years so I used to be able to smell these things and I remember what each of them smells like. I remember catching a whiff and knowing that someone had ripped one off. I remember going down the road and all of a sudden smelling the pungent odor of a skunk that had been hit. I even remember how the kitchen used to smell when Dad would chop up an onion for Thanksgiving dressing.
However, I have not smelled any of these things since my childhood. I am not sorry.0 -

Speaking of books that got thrown across the room, I was furious at the ending of Needful Things...it was like he said "Screw it, gotta wrap this thing up!"
It was all downhill for King after that. Although I've heard good things about Dr. Sleep.
This has been my biggest complaint about Stephen King. He has amazing ideas and stories, but it's like he gets bored at the end and just wants to finish it quickly. The Stand was awesome, but I didn't think the ending was great. And I've only seen the movie Dreamcatcher, but I loved it - until the end. I've avoided his books for the most part, until now. My dad has convinced me to read the Dark Tower books, even though I've heard several times the ending is (again) terrible.
His early work was great, including the endings, and I think he's at his best when he's writing short stories.
Don't get me started about the ending of Under the Dome.
Ughhh the worst. It makes me cringe to think about the ending of Under the Dome. It was such a fabulous study of what happens when people think that no one is watching/judging their behavior, and then... the ending.
I am also a huge fan of older King books, but gave up on his newer stuff years ago....therefore, I have never read Under The Dome, someone please tell me how it ends, now I am curious!0 -

Have you told him this bothers you?? This would not bother me, because as a white person, I must say, white people do some really weird crap that people of other races just generally do not do. Of course, there are exceptions.....My friends and I always joke about race, in a fun and not hurtful way. Like for example, my daughter, who is half Jamaican, when asked what she wants to eat, will almost always answer "chicken, for obvious reasons".

Interesting....
I CANNOT touch wood! Finished wood like a coffee table is fine, but no kind of raw wood! When my daughter left for school this fall, I had to search high and low for a rolling pin made of marble! If the wood is wet, it is even worse, just looking at it will give me goosebumps!
And do not even get me started on ice cream on a stick! ONE OF MY WORSE NIGHTMARES! I cannot even watch other people eat it without cringing!0
