I've gotten it open once or twice, but now it's a lost cause. lol.
Try refrigerating it. Mine always stuck when I stored it in a cabinet near the oven, and after I moved it somewhere cooler, it stopped sticking.0 -

Wow....It has taken forever to catch up!! The brownie pics had me drooling, might have to bake up the batch I bought yesterday. I am another one that hates raw onion. I will cook with it and either saute any firmness out of it or caramelize them thoroughly before I use them on fajitas. I also like Chipotle, but will pick as much onion out of the guacamole as I possibly can. Glad to see this is still going strong.0

I am going to have to work hard through the week to mitigate that!
I can't give blood because I pass out. Sounds embarrassing, but you did a good thing. Hopefully you feel proud of that part.
Here's the thing about giving blood. You can't judge yourself based on your ability to do it. My brother is 26, fit, healthy, super rock-climbing, kayaking, all-round action man. Passes out when he gives blood. I'm a girl with borderline iron levels for giving blood, 5'2", not that fit, yet I've never passed out when I have given blood successfully (about 12 times). Don't worry about it, giving blood is just not for everyone! At least you tried.
I donate all the time. I am 0- (universal donor) so they love me. As a matter of fact I am overdue and will go tomorrow as I took a personal day tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me. The blood donation places LOVE me because I am also CMV-. Which is apparently some virus most of the population gets as a child and toy don't show symptoms usually bit it can kill premature babies. So they give my blood to premature babies. I love that and am irrationally proud of it (irrational because I had zero control over that it's fate and genetics).
I get like that too as I am a female platelet donor (for cancer patients). I can donate platelets as a female until I become pregnant. Once I become preggers - no more platelets ever. I am genetically blessed with a high platelet count.
Weird. I've donated platelets a number of times since having my fourth child.

I have a little over 1000 calories left for the day and I'm afraid that won't be enough for dinner plus any road snacks later. Since we're traveling, I really have no idea what's for dinner. And I know I could make healthyish choices anywhere, but, come on, we all know I'm not going to do that nonsense. AND I'm already planning on eating popcorn in the hotel tonight because I can share the bag with my daughter since she got her braces off yesterday.
Also, I have ZERO motivation to do any actual work-work today. I'd rather be on here. Although, I did venture in the lemon water thread and those people are MEAN. I like it here. I feel safe.0 -

I have about 400 calories left for the day (stupid benefit bake sale at work with BROWNIES {plural}) Not sure I will stay in goal today! And about popcorn - I have an irrational love of popcorn!0 -

Next time you get it open put it in Tupperware0 -
Looks like a lot of us don't want to adult today. I have been wishing I was not at work most of the day. It will be a long weekend for me. We lost my mother in law on Tuesday and not sure how to explain to my 5 yo daughter that her grandmother is gone.0

Wow, I was 30 pages behind on this thread! My confession for today: One of my bosses brought in donuts and I justified my hellish morning as a reason to eat two of them, as well as my regular breakfast and lunch. I'll definitely be going over today, as I plan to have wine with dinner tonight. I've gone over for most of the month, and my boyfriend is no longer making any comments about how he's seeing me progress, mainly because I've been going backwards.0

You're not alone hellish morning here as well and my boss also brought doughnuts of which I ate one but seriously considering having another0 -

No. We're going to Oklahoma this weekend for my husband's God son's 2nd birthday. Who also happens to be my best friend's son. We are staying in a hotel and I'm going to eat all the breakfast foods tomorrow after I workout. I'm not logging a damn thing either. With all the stress of the passed couple weeks, we just need some time away.

I have a 10K tomorrow that I have not trained for, and it's supposed to rain. If my mom and sister were not also signed up, I would totally bail. Not going to be a fun race.0

That's heartbreaking and I'm sorry for your loss @crosbylee

I knew that. I'm so bored at work that my brain is not remembering correctly, obvs.0 -

My first and only 5K was in May 2 years ago and it was raining and 40ish degrees outside. It was not fun at all but I want to sign up for another 5K really bad but I don't have anyone to run with.

Sounds like we work at the same place! The worst part is the donuts weren't even that good, at least for me.

You think that won't get judgmental or contentious?! ;-)
My confession: I was supposed to go to the dentist for a cleaning yesterday, but lied and claimed a conflict had come up when my dentist called to confirm/make sure I was willing to see a different person than I normally do, since I think they had doublebooked. The call gave me the idea, so I was like "oh, I don't mind, hmm, but if it's more convenient for you I can change." She said: "oh, no, let's keep it, we don't have any appointments available 'til August." I all of a sudden found myself saying "but tomorrow will be really stressful as it happens, I have a conflict that came up, August is okay," and so I moved it.
I was originally supposed to go in January but did basically the same thing.
I have stupid dentist fear (in part due to a terrible childhood dentist) that I need to get over already.
I am the same way until guilt gets the better of me. I've had a few aggressive dentists and now I get really anxious. But my new gentler dentist takes pity on me when I tell him I'm really nervous! I guess a crying patient won't help increase their clientele !
I don't usually have issues going to the dentist but take me to the eye doctor and try to do that puff of air test and my eyes will start to blink uncontrollably. I can't help it.
YES!! I have no issues with the dentist, I actually find it relaxing the way you are laid back and someone working on your teeth, I have even had a root canal, no issues at all. I am TERRIFIED of eye drops. I am a T1 diabetic and went 20 years without having my retinas checked because of that fear.....so glad there is better options now to have them checked, I was SO scared the first time to see the results cuz it had been so long, so good so far!0
