    I feel really hard done by when I vote, play the lottery, or place a bet, and don't win. I SHOULD GET WHAT I WANT BECAUSE I TRIED.

    YES. I bought 5 lines on the lottery on my birthday which was on the 5th May. So it was 5 5 5, but I'm too scared to check it, because I know I haven't won anything, I never do, but what if I have?? It's like Schrodinger's Cat in my head right now. lol

    My husband has been explaining Schrödinger's cat to me for years, but you have finally helped me to get it!

    The only reason I've even heard of that is Big Bang Theory! Love that show!

    I had heard of Schrödinger's cat before Big Bang Theory but it was Sheldon who taught me what it was. Sheldon has taught me many things. Interesting fact, did you know the actor that plays Sheldon is 40! That man has aged well.
    I' ve been completely out of the loop with Big Bang Theory lately, but after watching the season finale at my in-laws last night, I have one question. What the hell is up with Sheldon and Amy?????? I was so sad at the end for him! :disappointed:

    You have to add SPOILER ALERT! I haven't watched it yet!

    I haven't either. :(

    My husband is off for a job interview (on a Saturday) and will be gone until tomorrow evening. I haven't turned my TV on in over 2 weeks. My plans for the 24 hours he's gone include a looooong date with my DVR and getting my hair done.

    A few pages back I wrote about my large unhealthy co-worker that has been sick all week, sitting over there hacking & coughing, pumping germs into the air, and refusing to stay home when we have tons of sick leave available.

    So, worst fears realized, I woke up this morning with a sore throat & headache. Started coughing.

    P*ssed, I walk into work...and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, she called in sick today...on a Friday.

    Guess who is her back up?

    So now I'm sick on a Friday, getting an average of 5 emails a minute between both of our emails.

    Other than the amazingly hot KC, I think BBT is highly overrated.

    My TV comedies are It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Workaholics.

    Other than that it's GoT, Vikings, TWD and that's about it unless it's a movie. (I am an avid movie watcher though)

    Confession...someone brought in an iced applesauce cake, bunt style, and I had a slice and it was very good. And since I cycled in to work today, I earned it!

    WHAT! I'm the same. I haven't seen it since Penny cut her hair. WHAT HAPPENS??!! Tell me, tell me!

    All I'm going to say is at the end, he looks at one of his figurines and says "Well Gollum, you know a lot about rings, so what do I do with this one?" (or something like that) and pulls out a box with a ring in it....

    :cry: Oh My God! That's not fair! You can't leave it there! Even Friends tied up the loose ends. :tired_face:

    Sorry peeps. I got caught up in the moment.

    Sharing is caring right? :confused:

    I had no idea there were so many Oreo flavours. I thought there was regular, golden and red velvet. I may have heard of one or two others, but never cotton candy, or cookie dough, or rootbeer float.

    We get so ripped off in Canada

    THIS
    Like is it really THAT hard just to make the extra flavors of things (HELLO PEANUT BUTTER CAPTAIN CRUNCH), in both places??

    OMG! You don't get PB Captain Crunch in Canada?????? How sad!

    I don't know, I've never looked for it.... but I do know we don't get Crunchberries.

    Do you guys get Crunchberries? (They may be long gone, I'm probably dating myself here)
    Not only do they still sell the ones with Crunchberries, you can get them with CRUNCHBERRIES ONLY!

    Guess I'll be bringing back some of those too!

    And, in Canada, this is called "bacon":

    My tummy actually grumbled when I saw the animated one. I went to the gym at lunch and I'm still hungry.

    Edit: after posting this message two of them were on my screen! Noooo! :weary:

    I'm assuming it's because of different time zones, but when I get in here there are always 100+ new posts, I catch up and then it's like *crickets* for the rest of my afternoon.

    I'm bored at work, guys, I need some distractions!

    This happens to me a lot too, when I finally get time to post here, I look like a crazy person posting 20 quotes and replies with nothing in between and then NOTHING.

    Same here. I look like I'm binge posting.

    My best friend in high school was Canadian, and she used to get really mad at me aboot saying "Canadian Bacon" instead of ham. She also tried to make me eat ketchup chips. This has been a brief message about what I know about Canadian food.

    One of my good friends in high school was Canadian and he introduced me to salt and vinegar potato chips. Mistake. Love those things!

    My confession is that sometimes I have skipped breakfast or lunch on days where I know that I'll be having alcohol. It's terrible and I know it, but it feels so good to have a couple of glasses of wine and still be within my calories.

    Drinking on an empty stomach is fun too

    The after-affects aren't much fun, though!

    No, it's all down to anxiety. I know it seems strange, but in kids anxiety presents a lot like ADHD - trouble sitting still, excessive talking, impulsive behavior and along with that the anxious kids get panic attacks and obsessive thoughts. He did do really well and I'm hoping he can continue to try that technique, it was just a little frustrating to hear him put it like that since I have been intimately familiar with all his teachers and office staff for the last five years.

    Aw, that sounds so stressful for him. I have generalized anxiety disorder with panic attacks and ocd behaviours (not like typical ocd but non-stop intrusive though). I also have adhd and thus why I asked. I've had anxiety since childhood and two of my sons have it in varying degrees but haven't had too much disruption yet in classroom (interrupting, not focusing, etc). Well, a it's manageable amount for now...sending you best of luck. I might have to try that technique with my own kids!

    It sucks. I've actually been considering homeschooling for a year or two- which I never thought I would do - just to give him a little break from always being in trouble and to experiment with ways he can control it better. Thank you :smile:

    I homeschooled for a year. It really helped both my kids after a horrible year for both of them in public school.

    I looked at the state standards for each grade then I looked that the available curriculum for purchase. I didn't like anything so I wrote / chose my own. I used a combination of text-books, online teaching sites, online educational sites, the library, used book stores, and many other resources. I actually dedicated more time to it than my kids did and I was a full time graduate student at the time. Both kids went back to school (a different than the first school) the next year. My gifted daughter led the school in grades and as a natural leader. My special needs son was on grade level for everything but math and spelling (hmmm he's been back in school five years and he's still behind in those.) So, I didn't ruin the kids. We spent three hours a day doing structured work then there was less structured time in the afternoon. I had them involved in activities with other kids. I called on friends with special skills (i.e. an artist) to teach those areas. It was a good year! Each state has vastly different rules. I only had to have a notarized form stating I would teach the five core subjects. There was no testing and no followup required. I did grade and keep records but NOTHING was required or asked for by the state.

    Edit to add
    I hope I explained that in a manner that what I mean is conveyed. My son in particular was pretty traumatized by school and would end up crying under his desk in math every single day. Even in homeschool he wanted to go under the table for months. It was a process to get him to enjoy learning anything for awhile. Now he even enjoys math class. Homeschooling gave both kids time to recover from the stressful situation they'd been in at school. When they returned to school it was a small charter that worked well for a few years. Now my daughter is at a highly ranked college prep high school and my son is at a very progressive private school. My son's school is actually very similar to how I homeschooled. Both kids love where they are and are thriving. I wanted my story to be an encouragement that homeschooling even for a short while can be a great time of healing and learning for children.

    There are lots of resources and groups online too. Good luck with whatever you decide. :smile:

    Thanks you. I really appreciate your story. It sounds like that worked out really well for you guys.

    Call me a dirty hippie, but pigs are wayyyy too intelligent for me to feel good about eating them.

    Wellshire Uncured Turkey Bacon does the job nicely.

    The last minute of the finale was a little heartbreaking, no? Oh, Sheldon. :(
