    Total lurker here, been reading from day 1. Commented a few times. All of you guys are so amazing and supportive of each other. I can't believe the thread has been going so long. Confession time for me, it's late and I'm back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks off (looking after my Dad while my mum was on holiday) and I'm not looking forward to it. In the last fortnight I have eaten all of the foods, literally, there is now a chocolate and pizza shortage in my home town and it's all my fault.

    Also KylerJaye, my boyfriend is 15 years younger than me and we've been together 3 years - if it works at the time for both of you, I see no issue. And I'm sorry for butting in, but I feel like I know you all :smile:

    Now that you're butting in you have to stay in. We have to get to know.you too. It's only fair.

    This is true :smile:

    So, before I catch up on the 17 pages I have missed in the last week (are things slowing down?) I just want to ask, has anyone heard from @noaddedsugarx ? Because I was having a conversation with someone and they said about someone having a fall and she popped into my head because her nan had a fall and banged her head. I know it wasn't good news the last time we heard from her and I just wondered if anyone had news?

    I wondered about her but didn't hear anything in ages. I think it may be quiet today since all the Americans have a bank holiday today.

    My confession for the day:

    While eating my crunchy honey nut cornflakes for breakfast (bad choices but I tell myself I need the added iron), I came across an inch wide nugget of just the crunchy honey nut part (no cornflakes) all fused together. OMG amazing! So, so bad for you, but I don't care, I ate it. It was the most delicious thing and I feel a little sad I may never find one ever again.

    Personally I would have take a picture so you could remember it forever. and also, we could have eaten it vicariously.

    She hasn't logged in for 2 months. I just checked.

    Oh, I hope she is ok. I guessing it hasn't ended well. :disappointed:

    Great Bonac Foot Race 10K this am... I do this every year. Wish me luck!

    I had a killer run yesterday, even though I kept trying to slow it down every mile was mostly faster, and I had several miles at 8:10, 8:11, 8:14, 8:20, 8:44.

    I am tired and sore today. So I'll either do great, or I will do terrible today!

    Good luck!!

    Bwahahaha!

    Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Last night date dude was 44. Tonight? TWENTY.

    It's ok, I have no idea what i'm doing either, but he was really persistent, so I thought. ...what the hell?

    I'm currently sitting at the restaurant's bar, waiting for the man child to show up.

    Wish me luck! Lol

    Hahahaha!! You cougar you!! Good luck let us know how it goes!! xoxo

    *post date update*

    First date #16

    Taking a page from @nonoelmo - a really nice guy, just not for me. Oh and he initially he told me he had one kid that was 24, but actually had two and the other is 13...not cool.

    So....bleh

    Seriously! What is wrong with people? And isn't he a little old for you? Not judging, just asking.

    LOL, sadly no! He's 44, I'm 34. I am having issues coming to terms with ages no longer being "too old" for me. :D

    Try thinking 50+ men are now your age range. I can't imagine a 20 year old is going to hold your interest. But good luck.

    ETA in case I want clear I now have to look at 50+ year old men as my age range.

    *post date update*

    first date #17

    ok, let me try this again.... @Italian_Buju i'm 34. :)

    and yes, @LBuehrle8 i totally felt like a cougar!!

    give the dude credit, he lives an hour away and was totally like...that doesn't matter! i can't wait to meet you! how adorable.

    BUT his profile said he was 21. which, even at that point i'm leery and expecting some type of fraternity hazing experience to be going down. but also to his credit, i was like dude, let go to this bar and he's like i cant, i'm only 20! to which, i was like dude, change your profile! and he was very sweet and apologetic. which was long before we met, so it wasn't quite the pull of the rug that i'm used to.

    but still! he's like a sweet innocent baby boy! it was a cute first date, what do you like? i like this stuff! kinda thing...which was fantastic because when we tried to talk about music, he hadn't heard of any of my favs!! and that's when i felt ancient!

    nine inch nails
    tori amos
    spiritualized
    franz ferdinand
    rilo kiley
    mumford and sons
    marilyn manson

    NOTHING! lol
    so i gave him a stack of my burned cd's to educate himself. lol
    punkin....you need these more than i do...LOL

    ok, so end of night, i went to do like the sweet kiss goodnight....and he DEVOURED my face! LOL
    it was ridiculous, but cute because i know how young he is....

    can't imagine anything will come of this, but it was ridiculously adorable ;)

    I love this whole update, lol.

    Me too!

    I've dated younger, sometimes significantly younger... you just never know what will work.

    You all have been busy over the weekend!! Happy Labor/Labour Day to the Americans/Canadians!! Happy Monday to all our mates across the pond and to Susieq!!! I hope your back is feeling better.

    Potatoes- Looove them!!
    Guys- My hubby is just a year older than me, but nowadays, if I were single, I'd probably be like KylerJaye and just check them all out and see if anyone fits.
    @pofoster21 good luck on the race and soak those toes when you are done, sounds like you have been burning them up with all that running!!
    Welcome to the lurkers and speak up anytime!!~

    I am not much of a sweet tooth. But I am a potato tooth. Is that even a thing? I love potatoes. Right now I'm eating through a second helping of potato bhaji. I am full and I am going to finish this second helping because my mouth is so in love with the browned potato/tumeric/lemon taste. I had curry red lentil and curry cauliflower with them, but the potatoes. MMMM.

    Fried, hashed, baked, mashed. I love potatoes.

    ETA - I think that is a recipe in the bat cave. I will look and add it if it is not there. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    It is in the Batcave. I changed it up tonight. I used red, white, and purple fingerling potatoes. I boiled them but didn't peel them. I can't have garlic so I always leave that out. (No, I am not a vampire, but garlic makes my joints ache.) As per my normal I didn't actually measure anything but the potatoes tasted fantastic. Daughter agreed.

    You mist be my long lost sister. I love potatoes and am definitely going to try that recipe.
