    Palmetto bugs are massive. Like they're bulked up on steroids. :flushed:

    Are those tree roaches?

    One the subject of bugs what about the 17 year cicadas? The first year I lived in the states, they came out and were everywhere. It was disgusting.

    They look like a giant roach but they fly around. So not a roach actually. They are so gross. I hate them!

    Why did I read the Oreo thread? Now I just want to stab them all.

    The posters or the oreos?

    Watermelon Oreo season is almost upon us. This delectable treat is found at Target stores, sorry Canada, even though you're half French, you didn't take to the French Superstore.

    After Watermelon Oreo season comes Candy Corn Oreo Season.

    It's going to be a sweet summer and fall :)

    Don't forget Winter & the White Fudge Oreos *drools*

    Did you try the Cotton Candy Oreos? They tasted better than I thought they would. I saw Wal-Mart has the Cookie Dough Oreos exclusively, but they tasted more like coffee than Cookie Dough.

    It's almost 10 & I've have already ate most of my calories.

    Had a White Chocolate Raspberry Quest bar, two string cheeses, Quaker Protein Cranberry Almond Oatmeal with Blue Diamond Coconut Almonds, a pack of Nonnis Thin Coconut Thins, two Quaker Chocolate Rice cakes with 0.5 servings of Sweet & Salty Peanuts & a half serving of each MaraNatha Maple Butter with Molasses & a half serving of White Chocolate wonderful. The last thing I ate was two servings of Dannon Plain yogurt with two tablespoons of Hershey's Unsweetened Powder, & a half serving of Imitation Butter Extract.

    This has to be the scariest bug I've ever seen while vacationing in WV.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobsonfly

    They're called Hellgrammites in the larvae stage & at that stage it's even scarier looking.

    My confession is that I loathe the word shoplifting. It's like they're trying to find a cutesy way to say "I'm a rotten little thief", but oh no, we can't call teens thieves, we can't tell them the truth that they're stealing and acting like criminals, we'll dress it up in some cutesy phrase so that subconsciously we teach them their behaviour is okay because they're just teenagers aww how cute!

    I worked in retail for a number of years. Thieves infuriate me, and so many of the teens we busted didn't even care, because they knew they'd get a slap on the wrist (if anything) from the courts/their parents, and they got to go round bragging to all their friends about how cool they were for shoplifting. ARRRRRGH.

    My favorites are the people who steal stuff & then try to return the items to get a gift card or money.
    I worked for Walmart for a while. My favourite customer service story (not mine, unfortunately) was the couple who tried to return a toaster oven. When the returns woman opened the box to check what was in it, she found a concrete block inside! I guess it used to not be policy to check every item. The couple just left the store. Brazen!

    I regained all 25kg I had lost - and then a few more. It only took me a year to gain it back. Now I am working on losing it again (7kg down, 24 to go)
    Ohh, I've done that too. Not quite as much (nearly 40lbs) but I gained it really, shockingly, upsettingly quickly.
    Good for us for getting back to it!

    I feel bad for some of them too, especially when it's someone that is new to the site. Some people just don't have the health/weight loss knowledge and are looking for real advice and people attack them...and then there are the idiots, so ya know.

    Most people who ask legitimate questions I don't see necessarily get bashed, but rather the thread starters who post multiple threads asking for advice on the same subject & never take any of the good suggestions, pick fights, & are basically just looking for an excuse to further their behavior/lack of weight loss.

    Confession: I'm not afraid of bugs. I'll kill them all for you. Bees, black widows, wasps, stink bugs (tons of those in Idaho.)

    I woke up once with a black widow on my chest when I was a teenager. Brushed it off and stomped on it. I figure I can move quicker than them most of the time, and if I can't, I'll use something to gain advantage - swatter or bug killer spray.

    We didn't get half the merchandise found in the US Targets anyway, which is part of the reason the chain bombed here.

    Fortunately I'll be in the US next week and my first stop will likely be a Target, lol. Primarily for white chocolate M&Ms but now I'll be checking the cookie aisle too. (I would have anyway, for exotic Pop Tart varieties, lol)

    I have banner ads in Spanish today. Absolutely sure I haven't done anything to cause that!

    And I still say the cucumber is worse.

    On the topic of bugs... I'm not exceptionally squeamish about bugs, but centipedes freak me the heck out. Many years ago, I was taking a shower at my parent's house (centipede central), and I thought there was a centipede on my leg. I thrashed around and fell out of the shower through the curtain.

    Turns out, it was just a tangle of hair :(

    When I was younger & my step dad first started to see my mom, a baby snake somehow got in their bed in our old apartment. I remember her telling us the next morning that he had felt something on his back & he flipped on the switch to find the baby snake in the bed. I don't think I would have been able to fall asleep ever again.

    Some part of me feels that since I have cancer this dieting is all worthless and just making me unhappy.

    I'm so sorry.

    Yeah. but my take on it is this. I did A LOT of reading on this site before I began contributing to the threads. I still haven't started a thread. People should learn the site, and the SEARCH FUNCTION, before posting about how they are going to do a cleanse for a jump start of their metabolism.

    That's the golden rule on ALL message boards apparently... you shall not use the search function. Because clearly it's faster to wait for people to answer your thread than doing a search for the dozens of threads about cleanses or cheat days or Quest bars...

    I like the Cotton Candy oreos. My kids destroyed the box in less than a week. I only had 3. Sad. The white chocolate M&Ms are delicious though, but I only tried the egg ones around Easter, to be honest.

    That was me last week, although I had more whole foods, but still. Damn PMS.

    Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! It was a fabulous day, and a terrific cheeseburger AND my boyfriend surprised me at dinner (he was supposed to be across the country! Just showed up and squeezed my shoulder.. my family was in on it :o:) )

    So, I got to log a bit of "exercise"... as "dancing", last night... twice... and this morning... ;) which helped with the planned overage of calories from yesterday...

    AND he brought me a sack of HUGE California avocados! So happy!! Great birthday o:)

    Also - pre-logged my anticipated vodka consumption for this evening... because this party don't stop. (Off tomorrow, and going to a concert to dance my pants off... wooOO!!!!)

    Reading the random threads on this site makes me feel like I am the only person who doesn't weigh everything they eat but still loses weight when I log. I'm terrified to weigh everything I eat cause I feel like I'll get obsessed

    I don't weigh my food, I usually try to get very close to portions sizes by sight or counting small things, etc, but I do not have a scale. I have lost 66 lbs since August, so I'm ok with how I am doing it. I was formerly a baker and I am pretty good at eyeball measurements from all the experience I had with baking and measuring ingredients.

    I have also switched barcodes on products to pay a lower price.

    Oh gawd, barcode switchers. This stuff is like fingernails down a blackboard. I hated barcode switchers. And then they'd get really aggressive when you busted them. Like dude, did you really think we wouldn't notice that the giant, $150 tree was only scanning up at $3.99?

    You can't be that obvious with it- you are only asking to get caught. Once it was for a roasting pan. The label had fallen off so I grabbed the label for the smaller size and went through the self checkout.

    Another time was for a bra. The bras were the same style and size but one was $5 more because it had more design and lace.

    Then there was a time we bought an outdoor fire chimney. The bay where they were all kept was so disorganized and product was in the wrong spot. The one we wanted was $169 so we grabbed the $99 sticker off a different one and went through the regular checkout. Of course it came up at $169 but we argued with the clerk and the manager that the price was $99. The didn't believe us so we took the manager to the bay where they were located and explained that we had no idea what the right price was for which item because all the product was in the wrong spot and the sticker on the box said $99. We got it for $99.

    This is supposed to be a non-judgemental thread, so I am just going to have to sit on my fingers about this one.

    Let me put it another way to you: I have been the person you have treated like they were stupid. It's not nice, especially when I KNOW you're deliberately trying to rip us off.

    I have to add, I have worked retail for 17+ years and do not understand why you are taking this personally......

    Seriously. It's like THEY are stealing directly from HER. Buuut I am not judging so whatev.

    Good for us for getting back to it!

    I gained about 45lb from June-March while travelling with work, basically everything I'd lost at the start of the year. Finally back losing again, about 7lb off.

    I thought I was super strong on my first couple of sets of squats today. Then I realised the plates were in lbs not kg!!

    Check their seasonal aisle as well, they're usually stocked there first at my local store.

    I'm behind right now and missed this comment! Thank you, I appreciate it :) Yesterday I was walking around in a sweater even though it was pretty hot because I was embarrassed about my arms. Today I realized that was kind of dumb. How many people look at other people and think ''That girl has some weird arms!!!"?

    Also I'm surprised by how many people think bubble tea is or sounds gross! Tapioca is delicious, I've always loved the pudding myself :tongue: I also love the texture. I admit, at first I thought I hated bubble tea when I got some in New York for the first time. I tried it again a couple years later in Montreal, a different flavor, and loved it. Now I've tried almost all of the milky varieties... now I'm craving it again.

    I'm the same way with my arms. I'm so self conscious about them that I always wear long
    sleeves. My hoodie is my security blanket and I wear it even in the summer. I roast but I just hate having people see my arms.

    I like the bubble tea too. To me it taste like gummy candies. I usually get a strawberry banana boba.

    Don't roast my friends.
    I do not like my "wing span", and it was hard to not cover up at first. A few years back, I decided this is me, I don't care what people think, and I have been "hanging out" ever since. HAPPY BARE ARMS TO ALL! Laura

    Not to criticize or be the grammar police, but without the comma I had to read this a couple times to see what you meant! Pretty funny without the comma.

    I didn't even notice that. It is funny. I do appreciate what they meant to say though.

    Me too! I didn't mean to discredit the post and I hope I did not offend the poster. They had a nice message.
