    Concord Grapes (Blue grapes) are officially in season! I am excited and scared about it because I love them and binge eat them when they are in season lol

    ... I never even knew blue grapes existed. Are they REALLY blue?!

    Someone in the New Foods thread in the Food forum said they had seen Cotton Candy Grapes. Anyone try those?

    That's one way to reach your protein goal.

    Is there an entry for African ant covered chips, or do you log them each separately? :D
    You have to weigh them separately, which is why ants are one of the few negative value foods. The energy required to wrangle the ants on the scale is more than the ants provide, nutritionally. ;)

    Bahahaha! I can't imagine managing to get ants to stay put for half a second while you weigh them!

    LOL. Haven't deep-fried ants been done before? I'm sure I've seen Anthony Bourdain or someone like that eat them.

    Still. The sight of a couple ants fleeing from his mouth...people, it was seven years ago and I haven't recovered. Haha.

    I gotta get in on page 1500!!! I can't believe we've kept this going for 1500 pages, yous guys!

    I love you all, good day!

    I keep meaning to ask have you seen the step daughter lately? How are things on that end?

    She came over (for the first time in 3 weeks) last Thursday with her new boyfriend. I had NO idea she was coming because she didn't bother telling anyone beforehand. I was not up for having a house full of people after coming home from a major workout, so I separated myself from everyone as long as I could by taking a shower. My mother was also at my house when I got home. When I got out, my mom was gone, but SD and BF were still there, and stayed for a long time of which she never introduced me. I didn't really care I was just hungry and wanted them to leave so we could eat dinner and run our already scheduled errands.

    I try not to talk about that relationship because it isn't much of one and I just get upset when I think about it too much. I do appreciate you asking though.

    I realized the above statement made me sound like a total jerk, but she never lets us know she's coming so we can properly plan something, she just shows up with a tagalong.

    I hate, hate, hate unexpected company especially when I am hungry or have things planned to do. She sounds like she hasn't changed any.

    Sorry if I upset you with my asking. Just tell me to butt out lol

    I hate unexpected company any time, even if I am just sitting around! If someone knocks on my door and I am not expecting anyone, I do not answer. In this day and age, if you cannot text or phone me to let me know you are coming, chances are I do not want to see you. I literally will let someone knock for half an hour and won't answer it.

    I hide from the door as well. If you are family/friend you would've texted me first. If you're selling something I REALLY don't want to talk to you.
    Same, last week, there were people coming to sell AT&T Uverese and they sat stood outside my door, knocking and calling out to me for a good five minutes. The window was open, so I gave them a quick glance and promptly went back to ignoring them.

    I love the look of front doors that have fancy windows in them, but I need something I can sneak by without someone standing outside seeing me, so I will only ever have solid doors lol

    Dark curtains my friend.

    Shooting update: This gets weirder and weirder. It was not an attempt to rob the gas station. Both of the people involved work in the same plant with Zac. He only knows the one whom he carpools with, but the two had apparently been in a heated argument at work and while Zac was inside paying, the guy who got shot saw the guy he was mad at and sucker punched him before he could get out of his truck. Unfortunately, the guy he started punching had a gun (legally owned, carry permit holder) and shot him in what appears to be self defense.

    The guy who was shot is now in stable condition, but keep praying. Stable is not dying immediately, but not really improving.

    Oh my goodness!! How terrible for Zac. I hope the shooting victim improves and that the whole situation somehow is resolved in the best way possible. So terribly traumatic, though, for the witnesses and all involved. I will keep sending good thoughts their way.
    Yes! I really hope there is good outcome, or at least better than it sounds at the moment.

    I have a feeling neither of them will have their current job when this is over, but the guy who was shot is still stable. However chest wounds are tricky, so he's still in the woods.

    They do sound weird, but that's a food I would have to try at least once.

    First you weigh the bowl and half teaspoon of sugar, then you add the ants and weigh again.

    The bites and stings from fire ants are unpleasant on my feet. Imagine if some bit the inside of your mouth. :s

    I think everyone must have a case of the August blahs.

    Soon it will be September, and we will have the September awesomes! Yes/yes/definitely yes?

    (It will be spring in September, so my mood will take a definite upswing in conjunction with the increase in temperature.)

    I'm also looking forward to September! College football season!!!!!!!!!

    Me, too!!! Boise State v Washington (our old coach) is September 4th. Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!

    That should be a really good game. I'm not sure who I want to win though...

    I live in Boise, but I'm not particularly a BSU fan since I went to Oregon, which means I am anti Washington but pro Pac-12. I had considered trying to get tickets before I made plans to go out of town that weekend.

    We have season tickets, and we couldn't get extras, they sold out that fast. BTW, your profile name is awesome!

    Yeah, one of these days I will go see a game on the blue turf.

    Conversation between me and my sister:

    Me: "I'm really liking jogging! It's fun with the zombie app. Though my lower back is a little sore."

    Sis: "Sounds like you might want to do some core exercises to help take the strain off your back..."

    Me: "I'd rather take ibuprofen every day than do crunches." :wink:

    ARGH! Confession: It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when people assume you have to do crunches to work your core. (No judgement on you, @jthurman3) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO CRUNCHES TO WORK YOUR CORE!!! :s

    Sorry, pet peeve.

    Confession #2: I NEVER do crunches.

    LOL - Come train me so that I don't despise core workouts!

    Stronglifts 5X5. The end. ;)

    Fair enough! Tentatively planning to start the SL program 8/31.

    Yippee!!!!

    Sons updates!

    Son #1 has a job interview tomorrow. Please send him positive vibes. It actually sounds like a nice little first job. I hope so much he can present himself well.

    Son #2 I took him to the doctor to get antibiotics for his raging ingrown toenail infection. He has a podiatrist appointment next week to get it resected (sp?) but they won't do it if it's still infected. Hoping the meds will improve it enough - I want him to be all done before he goes back to school the following week.

    I'm an only child, but my mom runs a dayhome and has since I was three, so I had plenty of younger-sibling stand-ins. I would have liked a big brother or sister...until I really thought about it, anyway. I don't think I've ever had serious regrets about being the only one, but it is fun to think about!

    Wonderful! My own sister is 4 years older than me, and was pretty cool. I remember being put on a bus to go and visit her when she was away at university and it was pretty amazing for a 14 year-old. She would also take me on shopping trips to London and to other things that I wouldn't have been allowed to do without her.

    My boys have just headed out for an evening out together, and I realised that what I described is pretty much what they do, so that made me happy. :)

    Am I that old?! Can't I be your cool older sister who moved out when you were 7 and comes home to take you out for amazing outings and then disappears back to her glamourous grown-up life?

    I always wanted one of those!

    I didn't know I wanted one until I read that description. I want one!!!!

    I always wanted a cool, fun, popular older brother and a younger sister.

    I recieved a geeky younger brother.

    Ha! @Tubbs216 - you're now the fabulous "older sister" we all wanted but never had.
    I got the world's best youngest sister, so I can't complain. We are and always have been close. I love her to pieces!
    Wonderful! My own sister is 4 years older than me, and was pretty cool. I remember being put on a bus to go and visit her when she was away at university and it was pretty amazing for a 14 year-old. She would also take me on shopping trips to London and to other things that I wouldn't have been allowed to do without her.

    My boys have just headed out for an evening out together, and I realised that what I described is pretty much what they do, so that made me happy. :)

    The circle of life!!
    Yes! It makes my husband especially happy, because his older brother wasn't the best. Even now, at 53, he's utterly self-absorbed (and single, quelle surprise!), so to see our boys wanting to do things together gives him warm fuzzies.

    I don't eat chips out the bag anymore for any reason. Scarred.

    That's one way to reach your protein goal.

    Is there an entry for African ant covered chips, or do you log them each separately? :D

    OH YES! That sounds way better than a boring ole mom. :smiley:

    And NO, you are not old enough to be my mom, at least I don't think so. I will take cool older sister any day! I don't have any sisters so I'd be more than happy to claim you!

    Oh, well, I'm 47 which probably sounds ancient to you young'uns. I promise it comes around surprisingly quickly. I certainly don't feel old, but I guess the driver's licence says otherwise.

    I wish Rachael and SD were closer. Or remotely close at all. I wanted that so badly for her.

    Shameless SPD mom brag moment:

    Raelynn did so good at the pool today!!!!

    She freaked out a little at first, but I backed off and let her go at her own pace, and she LOVED it!!! She's been talking about how she went swimming all day lol. We had to cut the fun short because it started raining and looking a little stormy but she enjoyed herself. I'm so proud of my big girl! ❤️

    I admit you're technically old enough to be my (teen) mom, but my actual mom is in her 60s and most of my friends are in their later 30s, so you definitely would fall more into "older-sister" than "mom" category :smiley:
