Confession: I spent the better part of this morning crying my eyes out because my back injury hurts so terribly. I haven't slept in two nights because of it, and the OTC medicine we got at the pharmacy is barely tickling it. Walking hurts, sitting hurts, laying hurts, EVERYTHING HURTS.
Right now, between the evil migraine I'm nursing right now and the back injury, I'm in so much pain that I feel nauseated.

I would LOVE to ride a horse. I plan on "roping" pizza, breadsticks, dessert pizza, potato wedges, and maybe even fried chicken.
Well....come visit me. I can help you fulfill that dream.
I almost tagged you in my post about horseback riding. I haven't done it since I was a kid, and Mr. Mo and Rachael never have.
Well you make it to the east coast and I'll show you around NY and take you horseback riding!
Life goal! I NEED to make this happen!
I'm waiting...

I can't believe I shared that.
Have you tried PB2 apparently it is amazing for those who love peanut butter.
Do I earn a space on my BINGO card for this?!
I refrained from saying anything.

I was really, REALLY sad when I couldn't get on the forums yesterday. I thought you all were gone forever. Seriously. I am glad that is not the case. I did, however, get some real work done yesterday, so there is that.
Confessions:
1. I did not pack a proper lunch today because we're going to Chick-Fil-A for dinner tonight and I need to save calories for all that fried deliciousness.
2. I am up almost 4 lbs. from last week's weight.
3. I was miffed at first, but now, I don't really care.
4. I plan on eating ALL THE FOODS this weekend.
5. I ate 2 bites of gelato, a few grapes, and a couple small squares of chocolate yesterday that DID NOT go in my diary.
Sounds like a good plan to me! I went to Taco Bell on Wednesday & had an order of Nachos Bell Grande & their Mexican Pizza & the food was ok, but not great. On Thursday my sister & I went to Chipotle & I had a Steak burrito & it was divine! I am such a messy eater & of course most of my filling came out on the tray.
I am not weighing myself for at least a week LOL! The sodium was probably killer.Susieq_1994 wrote: »So. Much. PAIN.

I am hoping you're having some relief from your back pain & the migraine.

Thank you!! I hope so, too. I took a nap today and had a whirlwind of nightmares, so I'm hoping that doesn't come up again tonightI hope everyone has a great weekend! @LBuehrle8 I hope you have a safe trip tonight and that your vacation is completely fabulous!!
@FluffySandwich I'm relieved for you that you didn't have to have the blood test today! Whew! Maybe now you can relax over the weekend and not worry about that.
My boyfriend and I are thinking about going to see The Gift, and then Mission Impossible sometime next week 
I'm also confused by this curry talk.... because I love curry, but I don't know what this special English curry is. I've had Thai and Indian curry... is that what you guys are talking about? Going to look into this.pofoster21 wrote: »Susieq_1994 wrote: »@LBuehrle8, if I don't talk to you before you fly out, enjoy your trip, eat lots of English stuff so I can live vicariously through you, (except curry, you can keep that nastiness) and have the bestest time with your Englishman!
See you when you get back!
I am actually very curious as to what the British people call "curry". I have no idea what it is, because according to Pakistanis that I know, the stuff they call curry isn't ACTUALLY curry. I've tried the authentic stuff, but there are so many of them... This lack of knowledge is irritating me.
I love curry! But I have no idea if what I have had is "real" now!

Well, what I've read is that curry became popular due to the colonization of India way back in the day, and remained a popular dish until today. However, I'm relatively certain that it became sort of like Tex-Mex or Chinese food is in the U.S.--very "Americanized", and not always very close to the original Mexican/Chinese foods that they're based on. 0 -
There's this place in Montreal that makes really really delicious Pad Thai, a Cashew Nut Chicken dish, and Curry. Stuff is delicious and the cooks are all from Thailand and I thought it seemed pretty authentic. Almost EVERY time I ask for ''extra spicy" at a restaurant the person taking my order is like ''Are you sure? It's very spicy" and it always ends up being mild tasting no matter how spicy they say it is. This place means business. I ordered extra spicy and waved away her warnings..... but I almost died. Had like thirty cups of water, but it was delicious.Susieq_1994 wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »

I feel like a lot of people over here can't handle even the slightest bit of spice (my boyfriend's dad starts sweating over medium salsa).
But I've never been to Thailand and I've never been to India, and I'm pretty sure that's the only way I'm going to get the real REAL deal. I'd love to go to both places some day, as well as the whole world. Too bad money doesn't grow on trees

You are exactly right. It's evolved into its own thing and is, apparently, the most popular food in the UK.Susieq_1994 wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »

I saw a video of Chinese people eating ''Chinese'' food in America. Some of them were very confused. Some said ''It's very good, but I don't see how this is Chinese."
One of these days I'm going to have some real Chinese food 0 -

We call them yumyums where I live. You've made me want one too! I shall resist purely because when we have a big DIY week, we tend to have a big takeaway week too.
Same in Kent, but I always find them kinda soggy?
No these are not yum yum (which I dislike)

I was disappointed last night. DH and I decided on an impromptu date night (quick Vietnamese dinner followed by new Mission Impossible movie) I ate only one spring roll and wor wonton soup (left the noodles) in anticipation of a treat at the movies, but our film was SOLD OUT! So we went home and I had fruit and yogurt instead and was grumpy.
You should have gotten your movie treats to go! That's what I would have done 0 -

I also had blood drawn to check my thyroid since both my parents have issues, she put me back on the pill, and I go back in 4 weeks to follow up. As far as my back goes, basically I've got to just try to take Tylenol for now and when I go back we're going to look at trying injections. I'm currently on strattera for the ADD, to see if that helps, and once my lab results come back, we'll know what else is going on, or if my thyroid is okay or not. She did mention my weight, and I told her I was doing what I could to try to lose it, but she's also wanting to address that and go other avenues concerning that. She's concerned my weight could be affecting my back too, so I'm guessing if it's not my thyroid, she's going to try something else. She did mention the strattera has a side effect of loss of appetite, which can lead to weight loss. I feel better, but still a little confused.
Btw, anyone familiar with strattera? Lol
Was there something in particular you want to know?
Oops, my bad! Should have been more specific lol. Basically, does it seem to work relatively well, and are there really that many side effects as I've been told there are?
My sister was on the team that launched this drug and she said it works very well, that the trials were great. She said it is the only ADD drug on the market that is not a stimulant, so that in itself is a benefit. I have no personal experience with this drug.0 -
I went into Petsmart yesterday, to look for ONE item for my dog. I spent over $100 and walked out with a new betta fish (and supplies for said fish). They didn't have the dog item...
I now have two bettas - I will see if I can post a pic in the batcave later today, this new guy is a really pretty half-moon tail.
Years ago I went a little fish-crazy, and had up to 6 tanks at one time (the largest was about 35 gallons, the others were smaller ones for the individual bettas). I'm hoping once I'm in my own place next year I can get a really big tank set up. (I won't be the crazy cat lady, I'll be the crazy fish lady)
I can drop mad money in Petsmart in no time. I swear the one local to me would close down if I stopped shopping there. I don't do fish though, fish are creepy.....0 -
OK, I took a week off (taking care of my grandson who just got a baby sister!), I have scanned many, many pages to get caught up again, did not thoroughly read, but wanted to thank everyone (I think you probably all chimed in) for the congrats on the new baby, she is amazing! I had some quality time with my Noah too. He has become such a funny little man, and is oh so sweet.
Funny story: He was flexing his muscles and showing me how strong he is, and asked me to do mine, and when I did, he said "Nana, you have bat wings!" and cracked up laughing... he is so silly. I am sure he heard me say that before about my loose skin on my arms.
LOL

Curry is so disgusting! My SO and son LOVE curried goat, and it smells like dirty socks
ETA: This would obviously be Jamaican curry.0 -

Just know that I'm thinking of you all, between the posts here and in the bat cave.
But in case I don't get back - I hope you have a fantastic trip Laura!!
It must be month end for you too, @Glinda1971! I remember us saying we're both in finance. This week has been brutal!
749 invoices to get out the door and the person who is supposed to help me decided it was a perfect time to do something else. I'm not her supervisor but I'm going to talk to my boss when he gets back next week. It takes 3 full days to do just those so now I have that much more to catch up.
That is rubbish! Too bad you can't leave them for him to do!
Loving my new super favorite word!0 -
Just think... Laura is right now winging her way to London to be with her love! (Small emotional sniffles here for true romance)....0

I'm usually able to resist petsmart since its out of my way. But now there is going to be one 10 minutes from home, and I'll pass it everyday ony commute. This could be dangerous 0
