    I need to find someone who buys talenti so I can try it, just to see if it lives up to the hype. Any more than a spoonful would make me sick, so not really worth it to buy it myself.

    The Hazelnut one is one of my favorites. Enjoy! How is the Banana Swirl? I have seen it around, but I'm not sure if I would like it enough to buy it.

    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.

    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,

    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. ;)

    Re: the vegan thread that was posted earlier... You could probably substitute "child free" for "vegan" and have the exact same conversation.

    (Child free meaning the movement of people who are childless by conviction/choice and refer to people who have children as "breeders", not meaning people who are childless in general)

    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.

    Confession: Now I want to know what everyone's name is. Hi, I'm Tami. And yes, everyone spells it wrong, even on Facebook where it is right in front of them.

    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.

    Added- if you share your name, please share your childhood name based insult.

    Mine was "smell-issa"

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Confession 1 - I miss this thread and can't wait to catch up.

    Confession 2 - Flights to Orlando make me *kitten* despise Disney (both the World and Walt for creating it) and children in general (or maybe their *kitten* terrible awful parents).

    Confession 3 - A hefty portion of my expense reimbursement will be for alcohol. I will defend myself with Confession 2 if challenged.

    Confession 4 - So. Many. Peeps.

    Welcome back.

    *fixed as I ended up with an extra quote in there!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    For those of you terrified of having a pap done, the recommendations have changed (at least in the US) and generally you only need have the pap done every 3-5 years (depending on age and past results). 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. :neutral: 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. :(

    I decided that I was going to have 8 GG Sandwich cookies for my lunch. I ate 4 chocolate ones (all that was left) and then ate 2 white ones. I decided the vanilla ones were lacking, so put the other two back.

    I prefer the mint ones at Christmas. Especially when they are frozen. I can't get over how expensive they are now. I sold them for $2.50/box. Last time I saw the they were $5.00
