It reminds me of a dessert my mom used to make a lot: bananas cooked in butter with heaps of brown sugar. It's good but a little too sweet.
I did wind up practicing karate and doing push ups so I could fit it in my day, but since dinner was just a huge guess, who knows.0 -
My favorite Talenti flavors are Egg Nog (seasonal), Salted Caramel Peanut (this is a newer flavor), Mediterranean Mint, Caramel Apple Pie, & Tiramisu.
The worst Talenti flavor in my opinion is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough,0 -
I bought a pie, ate one tiny piece and had to throw the rest away before I ate the whole darn thing. Not just throw it away. I mashed it up (but it still looked tasty) and dumped water over it before tossing it, pan and all, into the trash. I see alot of that behavior in my future.
I do that...only...it's homemade. I'll make treats: cookies, pies, crème brulee, icings, cakes, you name it...eat a li'l bit, then toss it. To the point there is hairbrush-hair all over it. And before anyone beats me up for making stuff & then tossing, I'm a very picky foody. If its not really really yummy to me, then why should I make others suffer. The delicious goodies will go out the front door. Afterall, I have a reputation.

I saw the vegan thread. I don't really the need to argue. I don't really care how other people eat, my MIL is vegan and not the biggest fan of her grandkids chowing down on meat but w/e. She is generally polite about it and we make vegan food for her when she comes.
Same things with childless/child free people. I just don't get the overt hostility and obnoxiousness to strangers over the internet. You be child free and enjoy, no need to be disrespectful.
Because those of us who don't/can't have children get treated like second-class citizens in so many ways, both big and small. It happens to me on this site and it happens to me in real life.
It pisses me off to see people who get to have children taking them for granted, not caring for them properly and expecting other people to watch out for their safety in public...even though parents get tons of positive attention just for being parents, whether they are actually doing their jobs well or not. It's disgusting.
Being pregnant or having small children is not a disability, it is a choice. If you can't figure out how to manage that, don't have children to begin with. Nobody deserves a parade or a designated parking spot. The whole thing with baby-on-board signs and decorating cars with stick families is disgustingly self-congratulatory.

My name is Melissa. I was named after a CCR song, and a girl from the little house on the prairie books.
I feel it suits me.
Patricia. And I go by Patricia. I hate all derivatives of my name. Patty, Patsy, Trisha, Tricia, Pat. Yet people instantly shorten it and get offended when I correct them. If you didn't know me before I moved to NJ (when I started calling myself Patricia) you are not allowed to call me Patty. Family members and people who knew me before NJ call me Patty. My friends from the barn call me POF because I label everything with my initials.0 -

Patty fatty foster. Still remember the kid who named me that. And my dad called my oldest sister Princess, the next sister Butch. I was Slug and my younger sister was Mouse. Guess which 2 of the 4 girls had weight issues.0 -

Hmmm. I think understand where you are coming from and I am sorry you have had to deal with that. I don't think that the extension of benefits to some should come at the expense of others, ex parents using disable restroom and so disabled person cannot. However, I don't think this means that as a group parents of small children shouldn't get certain benefits. I do think Talkradio is right, in that the discussion is similar to vegan/meat eater. There are parents who go overboard with a sense of entitlement and there are people w/o kids who are hideously hostile to those who choose to procreate. I do supposed it gets obnoxious as a woman dealing with the implication that you are less than if you choose not to have kids.
I think we can agree to disagree about this topic, although I will say that I think the stick figure families are a tad bit dumb, I'm not sure people are doing it to brag. I think it is a means of celebrating something they have. If you haven't read this article/heard about the issue you should get a kick of it if though, given your views. http://guardianlv.com/2014/05/my-family-stick-figure-car-stickers-good-guides-for-criminals/
I did post a rude comment about you and I apologize, it was unnecessary and offensive. Sorry.0 -

My name is Ashley. It drives me crazy when people I don't know (bank people, call centre staff, etc.) or people that I have an acquaintance relationship (work colleagues/clients) call me Ash. I only like people I am close to calling me that. Also, for some strange reason people call me Angela. It happens all the time and I don't understand why.

my hubby is richard and a 3rd. His dad goes by Dick and when my hubby is made at said dad he just calls him by his name. I have to admit looking my father in law in the face and calling him Dick took some getting used to.Speaking of names, I still don't understand why Richard's surname is typically Dick. And who in the world would call their kid Dick, although it made for an epic season in Supernatural with Dick jokes.
My very first job there was a nice olde gentleman named Richard Kiss. Yes, he went by Dick. Even had a nameplate and everything that said Dick Kiss.0 -

Today I was putting away the clean laundry when my husband came home. He walks in and starts telling me about his day then out of nowhere he throws out there "babe you are really looking good". I don't know the last time I got a compliment like that. It felt great and I'm feeling great about myself!
Confession...sometimes when the baby just won't stop crying I go and just find random things to eat to relieve the stress I start to feel. Probably not a good idea.0 -

The Baby on board sign USED to be to warn rescue teams that there is someone in the car unable to help themselves. I am sorry you seem bitter about people choosing to have children, and businesses choosing to cater to family.
I am so, SOO sorry for you and your state of mind. I hope you can get help.0 -
Confession: it bugs me to no end when people bash fat people and assume they're unhealthy. ESPECIALLY strangers on the Internet who are just oh-so concerned about my "health" and obviously know a ton about my (perfectly great) physical health.0

Briefly back to the doctor discussion (although not the gynecologist as I avoid them like the plague). I have something called dextrocardia. What it is is that my heart is actually on the wrong side of my body. I have known this for years. 2 years ago I had it confirmed that I actually have my whole upper body switched (mirror image). It's pretty rare (usually happens in twins though I am not a twin and there is no history of twins in the family).
Most doctors have never seen it. I think it's really funny to go to the doctor and not tell them. Then they break out the stethoscope and start trying to listen to my heartbeat. They NEVER admit they can't find it. I'll wait a few minutes as they get increasingly frantic then will tell them to try the right side. Often they won't believe me. Until I say I have dextrocardia. Then they all all fascinated and start dragging in everyone in the office to check it out. At that point it gets a bit embarrassing but for a few moments I get a laugh out of it.0 -

That said, they still recommend an annual pelvic exam, which is what most women are actually terrified of, not the brushing of the cervix, which takes all of 15 seconds.
And @ladybuggnorris - The pap is actually for screening abnormal cells that can lead to cancer. HPV is an entirely separate test, though often it can cause the abnormal cells through inflammation and raise a cause for alarm.
And just in case you're all wondering why I'd know all this nonsense, I actually run the cytology lab at this location for my company, so I am well versed in how and why pap smears, HPV, and a slew of STIs are tested for. Healthcare isn't glamourous.
Over 90 percent of all cervical cancers are cause by HPV. I believe that is what she is referring to.

Honestly, I can only hope my weight is the cause of my health issues.
You can fix a weight issue, not hereditary issues. I think I'll be super bummed, losing all this weight to find out my cholesterol will be an issue my whole life.

Confession: The reason I don't really like going to the gym too often isn't because I'm self conscious of others seeing me work out, but because some days I'm incredibly GASSY and fear letting one loose really loudly and having it stink up the entire gym >.>
Really guys, my avoidance of the place should be considered a public service. You're welcome.0 -

Agreed. My dads name is Richard and he goes by Rich...hates Dick. And I love that season of Supernatural.

I see it in the parking garage nearly every day and it makes me stabby.
On a related note, "Stork Parking" makes me stabby. So deeply stupid. Especially at hospitals where there are so many people who are actually disabled/ill who are more deserving of those close-in spots.
I've always thought that! It's healthy for a pregnant woman to walk. What about giving those parking spots to families with babies! I remember when I was a single mother of 2 babies under age 2, thinking they should have allowed me a reserved parking spot at the front of the lot.
You chose to have those children--it is your job to figure it out.
Giving people with children so many special privileges in an already overpopulated world is so incredibly irresponsible. It makes me very angry.
It's a courtesy, not a privilege, or all businesses would be required to have them. We get it, you don't have kids. So what?
it's not illegal to park in those spots, just because you ladies like to get baby-capped parking spots. I will use them if I'm in a hurry. I know some of you chubby gals use them too.
Uhh no this chubby gal like to park at distances, thanks? And I've only seen them at Babies R Us. Which makes sense. I don't care. Honestly. And neither should child-free people who wouldn't step foot in a Babies R Us.0 -

I have systemic mastocystosis with urticaria pigmentosa (a surplus of mast cells in my body and itchy spots head to toe). It requires, amongst other specialist visits, bi-annual trips to the dermatologist. Masto is classified as a rare disease (worldwide it affects about 1/20,000 to 1/40,000 people) and the type of adult form I have isn't usually diagnosed until people hit their 60s, but I got pegged with it in my early 20s. Hence the giant teaching exam room they stick me with on every visit. I'm pretty sure they actually schedule med students to come in on days when I have my appointments. During my last visit, there were literally 11 people in the room with me. I feel your embarrassment on a spiritual level!0 -

Also, I won the workplace weightloss challenge, so I get new workout stuffs! Yay me!0 -
Confession: I've used the stalls for pregnant moms / moms with kids at grocery stores and malls. I have never done it at a hospital or health clinic. How does some know if I am preggers or not? I could be and just not showing yet (I've never been pregnant before).

PCOS here, too, but the birth control helps with that as well. Maybe when we try to concieve again (YES, again!) I'll see if the weightloss alone will keep the cysts away. ^_^ So happy for you that losing the weight has improved your GERD I heard that's hard to handle.0 -

I had this happen once. A doctor had a bunch of interns in. He asked one to find my heart rate or something. I took pity on the guy after I could start to feel him panicking. What intern wants to admit they can't find a heartbeat on a very much alive 17 year old (my age at the time).0 -
I checked out the vegan thread. As 20+ year vegetarian who tried being vegan (liked it a lot but wasn't very good at it since I don't really cook and eat out all the time...who knew hummus was so fattening?!! I gained weight like crazy), and who still eats mostly vegan, I found both sides of that argument worthless and unnecessary. I quickly left.

Actually, that's an urban legend. They were invented simply for profit, and that story started afterwards. The person who brought them to America has flat out said they started making them after seeing then in Europe, and the Europe ones were just one of a bunch of signs manufactured by the same company.
I remember a conversation about this on a pregnancy forum ages ago, and I asked a friend, who is a paramedic and she said that it would never have occured to her to look for a sign, that it wouldn't make her check the car out any faster, and if they put any stock in it as a signal that there WAS a baby on board, wouldn't they just waste time looking for one which wasn't there, as no one ever takes the sign down just coz they don't have the baby at that particular time.0
