OMG - are you in the Portland/Vancouver area? Cuz that is fabulous! I've never been to Joe's Crabshack, but have always wanted to try it.
Oh wait... that restaurant is a chain, isn't it? And here I was thinking the only one anywhere is in Vancouver, WA. HA! /embarrassed grin
I'm in Pullman, no one else confessed to being northwesterners, so I might be the closest to you.
Well hi!! I passed through Pullman last weekend for a family wedding in Colton. Pretty area!!0 -

I do love the Palouse! Colton, huh? Are you a Druffel? I'm sometimes sad about the small size of Pullman, then I'm glad that I'm not in Colton, or Uniontown, or Garfield or any of the other assorted 500-person towns around here.0 -
Thanks to all who talked me off the ledge!kelly_c_77 wrote: »I need someone to talk me out of going to Dairy Queen to use my B1G1F Blizzard!! My husband won't be home until late so if I go, I will end up eating probably 1.75 of the 2 because my son won't eat much of his. And no, I can't throw it away or save until tomorrow or any of that nonsense...
Ahhh
Nooooo! Don't do it! I won't if you won't! HONOR SYSTEM!!! lol
I didn't do it! Instead, I had 2 Betty Crocker Warm Delights Minis Molten Chocolate cakes! 300 calories for both...way better than the almost 2000 that I would have eaten if I'd gone to DQ!0 -

Everything was all goat-cheese and stuff-with-fancy-sauce-pipettes and triple-layer-cake. Cruel, really. I love hors d'oeurves a lot.
I hightailed it out of there on the heels of the resident vegan and hoped no one noticed.
Very strong-willed of you! I would have eaten ALL the foods... sigh.
I wanted to. And it got worse when the events team called me after I posted that and asked if I had a second to come help them pack up the leftovers...
But I was tough and I wrapped some up for my husband but didn't eat any. I'm really sick of the little fat roll that's been at the top of my waistband since my wedding and getting rid of that is more important than goat-cheesy-almondy-balsamicy-sundriedtomatoey goodness. Just barely.
Sometimes I really can't decide if I prefer fitting into my clothes or eating, though.
I really need to start strength training so the answer can be a bit more of both, but I haaaaaaate it. Alas.

Nope, not a Druffel. The wedding was for my husband's cousin and it was outside. AND SO HOT. OMG. But it was a good time!
I grew up in a small farming town in Oregon, so I tend to prefer being in the country. But after living in the city for so many years now, I would have a very hard time giving up all the conveniences I've grown accustomed to here and the more socially liberal attitude of the city.0 -
Confession: When I started gaining weight a little over a year ago, I still insisted on cramming myself into pants that were quickly becoming too small. The fact of the "too smallness" of the pants was confirmed when the button closing the top shot off them when I tried to refasten them after using the restroom. On the bright side, I was alone in the bathroom, so there were no witnesses. On the down side, well... my button had /rage quit my pants.
Confession #2: I don't know how to sew a button.
Confession #3: I kept the defective pants.
Confession #4: I am now able to wear these pants comfortably again (heck they are EVEN MORE COMFY without the button... ha!), but they are loose. They need a fastener.
Confession #5: I "borrowed" a binder clip from the office supply cabinet at work to fasten my pants.

It's been crazy hot for us here - but I assume the same is true for Portland, our definitions of summer heat are just a little different. I'm definitely not a big city girl - I can't handle the traffic. I did grad school at Ohio State and Columbus metro is surprisingly large - almost 2 million. I lived close to campus so I didn't have to deal with traffic, but I think my love of the city would have been reduced if I had to drive in from one of the suburbs. I'd prefer a middle ground size-wise, but at least with Pullman I do get some of the socially liberal benefits.0 -

I'm a little freaked out this week, I'm going in for a colonoscopy on Thursday. Fun prep day tomorrow.
No, I'm not old enough for it to be needed, but there is a TON of colon cancer in my family, so I'm being safe.
I missed commenting on a ton of things, but just know that I care deeply and I'm going to try to do a better job of keeping up even when I'm on the road.
I am way behind on all my checkups. I put myself on the back burner while my kid got treatment, so now I get to play catch up on all those check ups which probably needs to include a colonoscopy too. Lots of fun the rest of the year for me!
Oh yeah, fun times. Next up is a mammogram. And then, I get to start with the dentist. Ugh.
I'm behind on my dentist appointments (about a year and half since I last went). I actually don't mind going, I've never had a cavity so it's usually an OK experience, but for some reason I dread making the appointment. I think it's fear that at some point I'm likely to have a cavity and drills and needles in my mouth freak me out.
I just had my first cavity ever
Going to have it filled on July 20th...so scared.
Bummer.... might I suggest laying off the Half Baked? *runs & hides*
Haha not my precious ice cream!! But you're probably correct 0 -

That's very observant of you, @girldownsouth, especially since you live in another country! USC graduate here, @TigerNY128.
That would be awesome if you, @raelynnsmama52512, and I could get together. Although almost every weekend is booked up for us until school starts back in late August.
My favourite American (who I seem to keep talking about in this tread lately even though I've not even spoken to him in ages) went there. When he was over here for work I knew when they were playing from when he wore orange and got 'shown around' the campus on google maps. I should drop him an email and say hi. Hopefully @TigerNY128 you are not his wife!!0 -

" I know right!! But I am working on it so back off!!
There were 2 elderly ladies standing they and I am sure they were ready to call someone to take me away!
Ha! That's awesome
@riderfangal I've been reading your username as riderangle since the beginning of the thread...until I've been replying to you
LOL the riders are my favourite football team. I am actually somewhat obsessed lol. Truth be told I wanted to name my son Ryder but my ex was having no part of that
I probably missed it in previous pages, but @riderfangal you had a date on Saturday, right? How did it go?
He was very nice but no spark. On the surface we should have meshed completely but nothing. I was thinking maybe its just me in my heart I am not sure I am ready or wiling to enter into any relationship. Still it was nice to enjoy some adult conversation.
It happens. But at least you got a nice evening out!
I dated a guy that, "on paper", should've been a perfect match for me, but there was no spark with him either. I've also wondered if it's me not being willing to be in a relationship, but I want a spark, darn it!
(psssst... I'm post-stalking you
)
In my experience, do not settle for anything less than "the spark". That's what will carry you through the rough patches, and keep you working out stuff when you'd really much rather throttle him.
I stayed in a relationship for much too long because he was the "good on paper" guy who should have been my match made in heaven. Nah. Now I'm with the guy who would seem to be the "least likely prospect" (until you realize we are actually two peas in a pod, beneath the demographics) and we've got all the spark.Ohh yes I definitely am a spark fanatic I love thinking about the person and getting butterflies!
Exactly! I've had "the spark" with a couple guys and while they didn't work out, I'm not willing to settle for less than that.
I thought the spark would grow with my ex. It didn't. He was nice. All the issues came out after we married although I was very naive and missed some red flags. He stopped being nice. But I think sparks would have helped. I "never" liked to be touched while sleeping, not even breathed on by my ex, I just thought I liked my space while actually sleeping. Turns out that is not the case, SO can wrap his arms and legs all around me and I sleep just fine. He can breathe on me, he can snore, he can pull me closer in his sleep. I adore sleeping wrapped up in him. Spark does matter to me! Whenever I see SO he greets me with a KISS and a tight hug, every time. Spark matters. SO travels about 1/2 the time and we do not live together. He calls virtually every night he is away (very few exceptions and he lets me know in advance that due to time zone difference etc. he will be asleep by the time I have time to talk.) In the 1.5 years of dating I think there are less than five nights that he has not called me.
The spark matters. Sometimes it DOES grow and it happened out of the blue with my current Sergeant Sexy Pants.
We see each other outside of work and ALWAYS greet with a kiss and a hug. Holding hands in the car. *sigh* I miss him, he's out of town now for work stuff.
But he comes back tomorrow!
Bad dating story: Met this guy, Brandon, on Plenty of Fish. We decided to meet at the lake for some fishing, I enjoy fishing, and I had a couple of the beers he brought. Well, he had MORE than a couple, got drunk and after some conversation decided he was in love with me and wanted to go to San Antonio and get married. I said no, he then wanted to go to San Antonio to go "do some 'shrooms." Yeah, HELL NO! Then he tried to feel me up and kiss me, drunk off his *kitten*, in BROAD DAYLIGHT, and when I pushed him away he sat there dejected for a while and said he 'didn't feel comfortable' around me anymore.
DUDE! IMAGINE HOW I FEEL?!
Cut to the entire rest of the week where he is texting me and calling me and leaving me messages about how he is SO sorry and wants to make it up to me and to come over to his place and we can talk it out and cuddle and watch a movie. No.
My response: You made your first impression and while the date started out well, I will have you arrested for harassment if you ever contact me again.
So, he had his DAD call me to tell me he voluntarily had himself put in a mental hospital because he was so devastated that I broke his heart.
I am glad I missed that train into Crazy Town.
ETA: Fixed quotes.
Dad sounds like he's a wee bit crazy too. I wonder if Brandon actually checked in to a mental hospital or just wanted to try to manipulate you. Either way you are certainly better off with your SGT SP
I so AM!
Not sure if I told this thread the story but the nightshift thread definitely heard about it.
In the middle of last week I mentioned to him that I was craving Funyuns but I couldn't eat them because if I bought a big bag I would eat the whole thing in one sitting. Well, he came into to pick up the paperwork on Saturday night while I was out doing my rounds. I come back to a small 100 calorie serving size bag of Funyuns on my keyboard. I cried stupid happy tears because it was such a sweet thing for him to do AND he considered my calorie intake. He still thinks he's an *kitten*. Poor guy doesn't know how sweet he is.
Oh and how I did on my goals:
- At least 30 minutes of exercise COMPLETE
- Stay withing 100 calories of my calorie goal before exercise COMPLETE
- Drink 5 oz of red wine sadly, I did not
- Do some food prep Totally went grocery shopping and went to town in the kitchen for 3 hours!
Now for Today:
- At least 45 Minutes of exercise
- Stay within 100 calories of my goal before exercise
- Actually buy a bottle of red wine and drink 5 oz of it :laugh:
- Get 10,000+ steps in by midnight
ETA: spelling
Aww that's so stinking sweet:).
Awesome job on hitting most of your goals! Did your dad eat any of your food after you food prepped it? 0 -

Well, that's what I would have done..except he wouldn't have eaten much...maybe only 1/4 of it which would have left me eating nearly TWO medium sized blizzards! And while I could have just gotten a smaller size, my coupon is good for a medium...and well, I could never pass it up for a smaller one.

I actually found them at Walmart on clearance for $1 per 2-pack! I got Molten Chocolate and Molten Caramel!! Both really good. It comes with a small bowl, a little packet of cake mix, and a packet of the chocolate or caramel. You just add water, mix, then drizzle the chocolate or caramel over the top and microwave for 30 seconds and BOOM! DONE! Both kinds were really good! I've never seen them anywhere else...but then again, I was never really looking for them..just happened upon them while at Walmart one day. I'm doing groceries at my local grocery store tomorrow and will look in the baking aisle there because now I'm all out and want more!!

@nonoelmo hurray for NSVs!!!!! You rock!!!!
@pofoster21 yay for coming home!
I would also like to say that directly because of this thread, I talked to DH last night (and there was no yelling and/or crying involved lol) and we WILL be getting a cleaning service. I'm calling today to schedule the initial intake or whatever. I need the help and I'm tired of feeling like I can't even enjoy my kids bc I'm always working. I will make room in the budget for it. If it delays me upgrading my car, then so be it. It will be worth it.
Didn't have the dog convo yet, but I did sorta bring up the subject of the car. Some forward progress was made but he got a little huffy about, "I'm doing the best I can, I'm only 27 with 2 kids so I don't know how to adult" and I shut down. I have no cares that his co-workers don't have kids. He does, he needs to man up. So in lieu of an argument I stopped talking and went for a walk outside.
AND I'm officially down 30 lb today!!!! WOOT!!!!! 10 lb to goal and then I'll adjust again, but I'm 3/4 done with my initial loss!! I'm concentrating on that today
Congrats on hitting 30 pounds down!0 -

We've never seen Frozen...but I love Doc McStuffins! We went through a stage of watching a lot of Doc but have since moved on. I keep begging to watch it again...but nope. It's Paw Patrol, Mickey, and Backyardigans right now...with an occasional Bubble Guppies or Sherriff Callie's Wild West.0 -

ETA this truncating of posts just doesn't work sometimes.
You have to make sure you don't delete the coding at the beginning or the quotes won't show in their own boxes. For example, when quoting this post I removed all of the other quotes that got messed up, but I left the part at the beginning that says: quote="pofoster21;33077019" within a pair of brackets. That's what creates the quote box, and adding /quote within brackets is what ends the quote box.
Yeah I try to do that. But I think sometimes I may be overzealous in the deleting on my phone....
I wouldn't even try on my phone! Highlighting blocks of text to delete isn't a great success, and I'd have to backspace for hours to get rid of it otherwise... then it suddenly speeds up of its own accord and deletes stuff I wanted to retain.
I pretty much only use my phone to see images that get blocked at work.
I've tried to use the forums on the iPad app & it's so annoying!0 -
Some good, some bad & a confession..
Good: I cycled for over 500 miles this month, for the first time, ever. My previous high was around 467. Very proud today.
Bad: I discovered last night, the first girl I fell in love with and was always special to me, died back in 2011 from a prescription pain pill overdose. They found her unresponsive and shut down life support some days later. She left behind 2 grown daughters and a toddler daughter. Tragic.
Confession: When I brought my work clothes to work yesterday (to wear today) I forgot to pack boxer briefs so I am forced to go commando all day. lol
Wow, that's so impressive! What's your next mileage goal?
So sorry to hear about your loss:(.
LOL @ forgetting boxer briefs. At least you remembered pants.0 -
