@FroggyBug - I just wanted to let you know that I did not forget that you want the Irish Soda bread recipe. I promise I will get it up soon! The problem is that I do not general measure things when I cook/bake (although learning to use the food scale more when eating)....so I actually need to make a loaf, so I can take measurements to post it for you, as I do not think, a dash of this and a handful of that would be helpful for you! I am gonna try and do it in the next few days, maybe the weekend!0

The number on my scale keeps creeping up, daily it seems, and I can't seem to make myself care. Super frustrated with myself right now. I wonder if it is related to how busy I am at work. Maybe I can only focus and succeed at one thing at a time?0

MY SO probably has a similar issue. He's been having a lot of trouble with episodes of muffled hearing in one ear and takes an antihistamine daily, but the ear nose & throat specialist thinks it is a jaw problem rather than ear or sinus. He's supposed to see his dentist about getting a mouth guard thingy to wear at night.
I already wear a mouth guard thingy because I grind my teeth at night, so I'm a little too thrilled that he will have to wear one too. Really I'm hoping that it helps with his awful snoring.
Please let me know if this does work because Mr. Mo snores like a freight train carrying a pod of humpback whales using chainsaws.

I think it's a sign of old age that one of the most appealing features of clothing for me is the ability to wear a normal bra (i.e. the dress I bought from ModCloth).0 -

Not about the police check, but I KNOW I'm going to have to get a blood test and just knowing that makes me feel woozy and teary. On top of that I read a review of the place I am most likely going that said the woman giving the blood test made everything painful... oh please don't let that be the case for me.
The last time I got a blood test I passed out on the floor and woke up utterly confused and nauseous, wondering if the woman above me was my mom and being scared that I didn't remember anything. Passing out is something I have a great phobia of.
Blegh blood tests.
I don't mind having blood drawn, but my mom can't stand it. She also can't stand to stay in the room with anyone else who is having blood drawn, because the needles freak her out. Both my sister and I would sit with her and hold her hand and comfort her while she sobbed through it--and once, I covered her eyes with my hands and told her not to look and I'd buy her ice cream after it was over.
Speaking of having blood drawn, though... (squeamish people look away!) I once had an inexperienced nurse trying to draw blood from me, and I have VERY elusive and narrow veins. I usually have to warn the nurses that they'll have to get it from my hand, because they just can't find veins in my upper arm where they usually prefer to take it.
Anyhow, I warned her that she should take it from my hand, but she wanted to try my upper arm first. She ended up having to prick me three separate times, and finally resorted to my hand (why does nobody want to listen to me to begin with? I always warn them... Bunch of know-it-alls.). After she was done, she tried to collect the tube and stuff, and dropped the whole thing. Blood sprayed EVERYWHERE. 
Did she have to take it again??
I had a terrible experience when I was a kid once. I was about 7 years old and there was a nasty lab tech digging around not getting blood and it hurt, a LOT. I started crying and when she pulled out, I got up and tried to leave. Next thing you know, I have like five medical people holding me down, one was literally sitting on my lap so I could not get up, while this woman dug my arm with what felt like a hot poker. I even remember I tried to bite the girl sitting on me at one point, and then someone else pulled me back by the hair and held me that way. It was over 30 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
This sounds awful. How did those people have jobs. If I found out someone did that to MY child, I'd be in prison for sure. I'm just speechless.

Oh, that's so lovely to hear! I hope things continue to go well for you two.fun lil bit of info for those who may care:
mr jaye and i have decided to make the relationship "official"
we've both shut down our dating profiles and are now exclusive.
he's met my bff, i've met his, it's been pretty awesome!
he's kinda amazing and it boggles my mind why he'd be crazy about me, but i'm totally running with it!
thanks to all the peeps that were supportive during my "post date updates" you guys gave me so much insight and encouragement, which was absolutely appreciated and greatly needed.
If it helps, I'd been dating my husband for 3 weeks when I thought "I could marry this one". We've been married 21 years and still like each other.
I love stories like that. I met my husband in a dark, dingy rock nightclub. I didn't know anyone in the city when I moved there aged 18 so went clubbing on my own to this place because at least I liked the music there. Met him on the dance floor when a song came on and his mates didn't want to dance/mosh so I stepped up (we'd been catching one another's eye all evening) and I remember distinctly telling my flatmate the next day that this one was a keeper. I didn't even know his name or number, I just went back to the same club in hopes he would too and he did!
And I was right. We've been together 10 years and married for nearly 6.
Now, THAT'S a meet cute! Love it!

I used to be able to eat a half a Papa Murphy's Family Size stuffed pizza by myself. Now, I can MAX 2 slices. *flexes muscles*
I'm not proud of this, but I used to (regularly) order and eat potato wedges, chicken strips, a large pizza and a tub of ice cream, from Pizza Hut. I always planned to eat the wedges and strips one night, and the pizza the next. never happened. and when pizzas were on bogoff, i used to order 2, planning to eat one, save one. nup, that never happened either. I am such a pig!
I'm not proud of myself...but I have days where I can eat the world. Like, disgustingly huge amounts of food. Not sure how it all fits in there...but yeah. Kinda gross.
Same here. Then, once the eat-the-world feeling wears off, I feel so disgustingly sick/full and my stomach feels like it wants to pop, and I wonder how I could have gotten to this point of fullness without feeling the discomfort beforehand. I have no idea how it happens! It's like my stomach goes numb for a while, then suddenly feels everything at once.

Bahahaha! I'm lucky in the fact that both my husband and I are silent sleepers, I guess. 0 -

but in fairness it was shows like the biggest loser and thintervention that got me off the sofa int he first place.
I've never heard of the thintervention show (maybe it is only shown where you live) but I'm intrigued. It sounds like something I would watch.
I know my 600 lb life was one of those shows for me.0 -

The most I ever ate was 17 slices of pizza (granted most without the crust) but that is a lot of pizza. Pretty embarrassing.0 -
To jump in on the McD convo: I used to get their sausage & egg biscuit, then add cheese to it (sorry @peleroja ). I also love their fruit & yogurt parfaits. Not too many calories, but quite tasty. I consider it a dessert for my biscuit sandwich.
Also, sometimes I just really want a McD's cheeseburger. The little one. I almost never actually spend 400+ calories on that little bugger, but yeah. That's the only non-breakfast thing I'll eat there, along with a hot fudge sundae. Heh
Confession. I haaate the word parfait. Not sure why.... but it could be the best thing on earth and I wouldn't order it if I had to say the name when ordering.
So you wouldn't order a peanut buster parfait from DQ because of the word "parfait"?! I do not understand this logic.
I don't go to DQ but IF I were to go and order that specifically, I would probably say something like 'peanut butter thing' while waving my finger towards where it's listed on their menu. Much like Wawa's 'sizzli' menu. I hate that word as well.
I'm not sure why I hate it other than it just sounds silly to me. I want to punch both of them.0 -

I have had to hold down my child (with medical personnel) to get blood drawn, and pre-surgery tests, make sure that he was producing the chemicals he needed to produce (he is very complicated) etc. When it is a matter of that child's health and life and not drawing the blood and not knowing could potentially lead to brain damage and the child will not listen or cooperate you do what you can to get it done and save their life. I'm all for the kindest route and I've been on the hold down side too, it is awful but sometimes has to be done.0 -

My confession? I don't eat pork anymore (for a variety of reasons) and haven't done for about 15 years. The thing i miss the most? McDonald's sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin.
A life without Canadian bacon, or regular bacon for that matter is scary lol.
May I ask the reasons?
I really dislike bacon.
The reasons are mostly, because improperly cooked pork can give you worms. And I had too many bouts, so i said no more. I only ever got them after eating pork. (and yes, i know you can get them from other things, and worse things from other meats). But touch wood, since not eating pork, i never had them again.
and also, i'm not really keen on the texture (i don't eat turkey or fish for the same reasons)
Pork kind of scares me for the same reason. Yuck...
I still eat it though. 0 -
Guilty confession: I love McD's breakfast burritos!
They're so tiny though.
Confession: I love all 460 calories of the bacon, egg, and (sorry @peleroja) cheese biscuit. They are my most favoritest thing by far on their menu.
My favorite was the breakfast bagels but they don't seem to have those where I live anymore.
I could eat McD's biscuits & gravy with a broken up hashbrown mixed in EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. In fact, a few years back I did for a month or so. And yes, I blew up.0 -
Confession:
My food intolerances are often a pain, hassle, limiting. I had had plenty of bland or less than satisfying meals over the years. However I'm used to that and I confess that I'm glad I have them because:
Brownies, cake, ice cream, bread, and so many other things hold zero appeal to me. I will not eat them. It makes it easier for me (I think) to have consistently made good choices over the years because the other option is complete misery for days/weeks if I have something I know I should not have.
ETA: That is why I don't comment on much of the food on here, most of it is not something I can consider eating. My brain no longer really sees it as food.0 -
