Aww, preschool! Is he excited?0 -

Me too! I haven't seen any spoilers yet though. But they're probably going to just do what they do every time...say that someone is A and then next season starts up and we find out that they really aren't A. They were just forced into helping A or some other nonsense. How many people have we been convinced were A already? Mona, Ezra, Toby, etc.. Yet, I get sucked back in every time.
This time supposedly they're supposed to reveal definitely who Charles/A is & maybe Black Widow/Black Veil, & officially who Red Coat is. I thought Red Coat was CeCe & Alison, but maybe someone more evil is Red Coat? DIdn't they go back on Ezra & Toby & make them only A to help the girls? I wish Ezra would've stayed evil or at the very least they killed him off since it seems they have to force him into story lines. Too bad the show didn't have Aria get together with Jason or Noel.
I read a link where they were going to have Spencer officially be on the A-Team in season three; however, the network wouldn't allow them to make one of the girls on the A-Team. There still are a ton of theories out there that Aria could be on the team.
If anyone dies this season I hope it's Sara since the actress is awful or Ezra.
I also wonder what is up with Aria & the creepy dolls/pink streaks in almost every episode? I wonder if she could perhaps be the twin who killed the other one when they're younger? Another theory I read could be that she was in Radley before & that could make sense since Eddie Lamb knew who she was.
Sorry for the rambles.0 -

I don't think they are all mean. I think the mean ones are more vocal. I hope I am not mean... well, except to my brothers, who deserve it... and I am fairly happy with my body. I'm still working to improve my fitness but it's because if you stop you start deteriorating again and I have worked hard to get here.
I tend to think this,too. I think there are a lot of well-meaning people on the boards, but I also find that there are quite a few snappy/snarky ones and THOSE are the vocal ones. I have lots of times I venture out to the main boards and nope right back in here and other times where I can handle it. A lot of them follow the SAD with CICO like it's a religion (and really all diets are CICO based, because science) but a LOT of them fail to take into account medical issues. Some of us like myself have them. Real, verified, tested, doctor signed off medical issues, not the people who think they're special snowflakes and "different".
I get why they're skeptical. It's common to see people on here, like, "I eat 1200 calories and can't lose" and then they aren't weighing out food or they're overestimating exercise. Ok, so standard blanket answers of "eat less, move more" work for 95% of people. There are legitimately people that have to tweak things a bit more. The board as a whole doesn't seem to get it.
I get really frustrated when I see people with some of my same medical issues being told things that my endocrinologist/surgeon/GP would NEVER tell me, and some of the vocal meanies on the board just hammer these posters. I've tried to counter it with "I have X/Y/Z too and that goes against my doctor's advice" and *I* get hammered. So I follow the advice of "Don't argue with people on the internet" and nope right back into this thread. It's not that I can't handle meanness, I just consider it kind of a waste of time.0 -

Yeah I'm on season 6 finally on Hulu and it's SO aggravating! I keep getting sucked back in too I was convinced for a while that Toby was "off" and was like A's assistant but I think I've accepted he's not (although TBH I think something is still up with him) 0 -

OOOOHHHH I love the Aria theories! She's my favorite, because I feel like although they try to make her innocent, do-gooder, sweet I think she's got a lot of hidden angst and evil in her and I keep waiting for it to come out!
And they seriously need to get rid of Ezra already. He drives me nuts. Same with Sara.0 -

Tell him he has to make you some more:D. The only time I get annoyed when people besides my nieces & nephews eat my food is after I've weighed & logged it in my food diary.
Is he excited about starting preschool?0 -

I bet Ezra will be on till the bitter end. They should have killed him off after he was shot.
Some have wondered why Aria is always looking into mirrors. If they had to have an evil liar I could see her being the one since she is rarely targeted.0 -

I have my own medical issues so I totally get this.
I also float to the comprehensive weight loss center at my hospital for work (covering vacations, etc.) and get livid when I see people telling pre-op patients to fire the doctor for the food plan. Really? Do they know what happens if you eat high fat foods after surgery? Or highly processed carbs? For the first month you're on mostly cottage cheese, yogurt, mashed veggies, and liquid vitamins. We're trying to prepare you for that drastic change and help you lose weight pre-op to make surgery safer for you.
I try to stay out of the mean threads, but I do tell people to listen to their medical team if they want their medical insurance to pay for their treatment.0 -

Do any of you dream about work? When I first started to cashier I used to dream almost every night that I would be ringing people out & then say, "sorry, my line's closed." Ugh! I said it was a recurring nightmare since I couldn't get away from work.
I would say my scariest was the time I dreamt that Adolph Hitler was alive & was coming to kill me. I even woke up in a pile of sweat & had to think to myself if he was dead or alive.
I used to dream about projects at work, not so much any more. I'm also a lot less busy at work at current employer than at previous employer, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Thank you! I remember someone (maybe you) posted a recipe for them before but I never copied it down!
And yes, he is excited most days...but sometimes he says, "No Mama, I want to stay home with you"! Awww
To be honest, it's mostly me that I'm worried about! He'll have new friends, toys, games, and stuff to learn. I'll just be home by myself, without my little sidekick. I know it'll be fine...after all, it's only Tuesdays and Thursdays for 3 hours. I'll probably end up loving the alone time...but for now, I'll be sad.
@kellyjellybellyjelly, interesting thoughts about PLL. I'll be shocked though if they really tell us who A is once and for all.0 -
I'm a scientist with many years of schooling and training and I can't explain a number of things that have happened to me. I would love to explain them but so far I can't. So I offer no explanation for this. Here's one of many examples. When I was in my early 20's I had broken up with a cheating & lying boyfriend. It had been awhile since the breakup. He wanted to talk. Fine. To talk we went for a drive in my little gray pickup truck. I was driving and I turned off of PCH near Malibu onto Mulholand Drive. It was just about dusk. I had not driven that part of Mulholand Drive before but I knew it went all the way through to more populated areas. I had not driven far when we approached a huge tree overhanging the road. The tree (and I don't know why I knew it was the tree, but I knew- the voice was inside my head and out loud at the same time, and our windows were up but it was not muffled) said to me "Stop, turn around." I heard it. Ex bf heard it and we looked at each other and at the tree (although within five minutes he denied it without prompting.) I drove just a little further and again "Stop. Turn around." Who am I to argue with a tree? I made a U-turn and went back to PCH and we finished our drive. A few days later I read in the newspaper about a body being found just beyond where I had driven. The description of the woman, age, height, hair color, etc, and the description of the vehicle fit me and my vehicle.
This story gave me goosebumps. Wow, that's crazy in a good way.0 -

Confession: Very few people know these stories but I thought I'd share(NO JUDGEMENT and all)
Once, I had been running myself ragged between work and college, as I am known to do and I went without sleep for about 50 hours. I'd been struggling with the idea of moving to Texas all alone and dropping out of college for a couple weeks. I was on my way home from a 5 AM meeting and super tired.
I get back to the house at about 7 (it's winter and the sun isn't quite up yet) and walk past the dining room table and my grandmother is sitting there smoking a cigarette and she said, "You shouldn't work so hard. It seems rough now and you will make difficult choices, but you are doing SO well and I love you very much." I told her I loved her too, I went to my room and fell asleep, no big deal.
Except, at the time this happened, my grandmother had been dead for over 8 years.
I figured it was just a hallucination caused by lack of sleep until she showed up 2 years later when I was visiting for Christmas(midnight snacks ya'll!) at the same table, and she told me to look out for my sister(we weren't speaking at the time). I called her up and we met for coffee and my sister was acting strange. I weaseled out of her that the guy she met on OKCupid was abusing her. Needless to say, I put a stop to his manipulative B.S. REAL quick with the help of my brother and my mom.
Strange things happen all the time, but these experiences helped me and I've learned on some intuitive level to just listen and not question it so much.
ETA: Grandmother Willow(Disney's Pocahontas) was totally looking out for ya!
This, too. I love that your grandmother is still watching out for your family.

@Susieq_1994 That pie looks delicious. Also, no such thing as 'too much whipped cream'.
Mr Tubbs and I just returned from a spontaneously spontaneous night away without kids! It was lovely - I posted some pics in the Batcave.
Fun! I'll check out the pics in a few minutes!0 -

I bought a personal watermelon at the store last night. I asked Mr. Mo since it is called a personal watermelon, does that means it's enough for one person. He said he thought so. I said, "Challenge accepted!"

Thanks, both of you. I have to admit that I've been freaking out all day today worrying that his family won't like it and maybe I shouldn't make it, but then there are all those ingredients I bought and what should I do with them... And maybe I should make chocolate pies instead but I was so excited about my peanut butter pie and and... on and on.
My head is a fun place to be sometimes. 0 -
It's my mother's birthday in August but she will be away the entire month visiting her sisters in France. So I said, here's an early birthday present for you, open it now. It was a teeny tiny pair of baby socks with frogs on them (my mum collects frogs - it's a longstanding joke about her being French). She looked confused, then the penny eventually dropped. I said, they're a bit small for you, but they'll fit someone you know soon. She was thrilled.
My dad's first reaction was 'OH NO!' but not because he was in any way upset over becoming a grandad (he's also thrilled). It was because he realised now he has to put up with my mum's baby-obsessed craziness for the next few months and I bet it'll get WORSE once the kid is born. Poor Papa, I do feel sorry for him!
Then we went out and I had a cheeseburger, fries and ice-cream, because you only reveal to your parents they're becoming grandparents for the first time ONCE.
Good weekend!
Super cute! What a great idea with the small socks. I'm glad it went well and you got to get some yummy food afterwards.0 -

Maybe you should have properly thanked them. New clothes are good for the soul. I think that's a book title. If not, it should be with pictures and pictures of clothes people bought while doing retail therapy. I'd buy that book...then probably go out and buy new clothes.

Yesterday's shopping was super productive and I found out who will be on our camp site (two bro's who I absolutely adore, huge into fitness and giant nerds), I'm sooo stoked!
Tonight I'm seeing a friend for dinner and then hitting a concert (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, it's my second time seeing them. WEEEEEE)
...... I need a dance Icon dammit!
It's probably been asked but I'm catching up. What are banana canoes? I'm glad you are excited about camping and the concert. It sounds great.
When we did S'mores on my birthday, we got regular graham crackers and chocolate ones. We also got York peppermint patties, regular Hershey bars, caramel squares and Reeses peanut butter cups so people could pick what they wanted to use. It was fun and yummy. I really liked the caramel one on chocolate crackers best. 0 -
I love anything fried with ranch. I had a sad realization while in Siesta Key. Most of the restaurants DON'T SERVE RANCH, only that blue cheese nastiness. I was VERY disappointed.
I like ranch dressing too. I'd probably be one of those weird people who carries a ranch bottle if all the restaurants I went to didn't have any ranch available. I don't like blue cheese either.0 -
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and was disappointed to see I'm up 6 pounds. Some of it could be water weight from the weekend and TOM, but I struggle every summer. It's so easy to BBQ burgers & hotdogs, crack open a cooler and veg out. Especially when it's hot. I need to figure out how to break this yearly cycle.
Same here. It's always summer bbq time and holidays that get me every year. The rest of the year I'm fine. I'm not looking forward to the holidays because I always seem to stop caring for a couple months. I don't want to have to go back to where I was and then catch up again.
I hope you can figure it out.0 -
I used to have bartender dreams all the time. Same thing - I'd just be working like normal except it never slowed down and I kept running out of stuff, and it would go on all night even if I woke up and went back to sleep. They didn't stop for about a year after I got an office job and still occasionally return when I'm very stressed. But it was not awesome to get home in the early morning, dream I was working all night, get up, go to a couple classes and straight back to work, over and over for weeks. No wonder I was such a mess in my last couple years of undergrad...
I'm one of those that believes dreams are just the way your brain files information away when you're asleep, but I do think a lot of dreams with common motifs are obviously the brain's way of doing that - like I've read that losing your teeth in dreams can be due to change-related stress (which totally makes sense to me) and falling dreams might be due to feeling out-of-control in the day time (also logical to me.)
I had bartender dreams too and still do randomly. Mine usually consist of being really busy and it's 2:00 AM and the managers won't stop letting people in. Then they tell me that the law changed and we can now serve after 2.0 -
I have stress dreams that wake me up with my heart hammering. I have really bad vertigo and I'll have dreams where I need to cross a gap between two skyscrapers on a ladder, and I'll be holding a baby (never mine - I don't know why that would be..?) Sometimes I'll try to put the baby in a backpack so I can get across the gap, but things will always drop out and fall. Even typing this makes me feel panicky.
When my children were little I had dreams that centred around being late to pick them up from daycare. I would lose my car in gigantic multi-story parking lots, get stuck in terrible traffic, or just forget to get them. That kind of dream went away when they were older. Brains are so strange.0 -

Yup, seriously freaky stuff! There are just too many reports of such things happening (even in my family) to not believe in the spirit world. In Islam, most of these occurrences are explained by the presence of the jinn. 0
