    We don't have pumpkin flavoured ANYTHING here. We don't even have tinned pumpkin. You can buy fresh ones around Halloween but that's about it (and I think we have pumpkin soup!). I don't really know what it tastes of. Another thing to try if I ever make it to the USA again.

    Oh yes we doooooo! Go to your local Tescos and find the 'Around the worlds' Section. It has a load of American foods, including pureed pumpkin. I found it last year and was so happy to see it back. It kinda disappeared over the summer. Beware though. That section also has yummy pop tarts, massive packs of Oreos and other yummy things.

    First you tell me about Reeses Krispie Kreme and then this! It's a good thing I live in the back of beyond and rarely haul myself to any of these places. Don't you know how dangerous infinite flavours of pop tarts are? They do s'mores ones. S'mores!

    I've never had actual s'mores. But I'm so in love with s'mores pop tarts (which I've had I think 3 times in my life) I think this is probably for the best.

    I confess I'm a home wrecker......

    Today as I was out walking I noticed a pretty blue gray bird by the side of the lake and as I passed, I watched it fly off it was beautiful.
    When I turned my face forward again I did so just in time to see the middle of a rather large spider web. It spanned over my head to mid chest.

    First of all I'm sorry spider for wrecking your very close knit large web. I'm sure it took along time to make. I hope you have enough web to build another one

    Secondly. Shriek, wild thrashing about with my arms trying to get it off of me, and dear God please don't let that spider be on me.

    I was pulling weeds in my front flower garden Saturday. (It was WAY past due, and the weeds were way out of control, but that's a different confession.) I have a certain garbage can that I put pulled weeds in. It's really old and has a hole worn in the bottom, so I can't put anything small or liquid in it. Anyway, I pull out this garbage can and there is a GINORMOUS black widow spider in its web behind the garbage can. I don't have a photo to show you, because I was too busy SQUISHING it!!!

    Black widow spiders freaked me out as a kid. Some how I got the impression that if they bit me I could become very ill and possibly die.

    We had a tack shed that they seemed to like for some reason. I remember going into it with my sister behind me.
    Well there was one over my head and running right at me. I think I ran clean over my sister to get out.

    My husband laughs about when he was young that they ( all boys in the family) had a black widow spider as a pet. They would feed it flies. They kept it in a mason jar with little holes in the top so it could breathe. All went well until till she had about 1000 babies that were small enough to crawl out the holes in the top. They all laugh about it.

    To this day I can catch and hold almost anything but spiders.

    I woke up with a black widow on my chest once (on top of the blanket) as a teenager. Totally freaked out about that!

    I used to keep a carafe of water next to my bed because I woke up thirsty a lot. One night, I was lazy and, instead of sitting up to drink, I just picked up the carafe in the dark and tilted it over my mouth. A COCKROACH fell off the lip. ONTO MY FACE. To this day, a cockroach is the only bug that will send me running and screaming. Before that, I wasn't at all afraid of them. A cockroach running across your face can do that to you, apparently.

    OMG, that's super gross. Right after college I moved into an apartment in Brooklyn by myself. My first morning I went to get in the shower and a cockroach the size of my palm was just sitting there on my soap. I cried. LOL I'm fairly certain I did not shower that day.

    first date #23

    i'm not sure if i should even be allowed to call these "dates" anymore.
    more like casual meet and greets.

    case in point, last night:
    chatting with dude, and he's like hey i'm over at this local bar, you should stop by. i kindly tell him no way, 'cause
    1. i've had a few beverages and didn't want to go anywhere and
    2. it's garbage night and i've got a lot of junk to do around the house!
    hehehe

    so then he offers to stop by and help me do chores (lol)
    sure thing!
    which really just consisted of us moving from room to room chatting while i cleaned and he tried to befriend my dogs (this effort was in vain, my dogs hate everyone). still a fun time though!

    nice enough dude, but prolly not for me.

    Ha! Well, at least you aren't wasting a lot of time getting all dressed up for these guys. I will say this, though. Please be careful. You never know anybody's story that you meet online. I worry for you telling them where you live before you know them.

    Just popping in for a second, I'm still here, just really busy!

    *If you have reservations about religion or God, you may want to skip this post, I really hope you don't, but if that's the case you may want to stop here!*

    These past few weeks I've been really struggling, especially after finding out that the doctors are completely confused about Raelynn and what we need to do from here. I literally drove home Friday in tears because I don't know what else we can do. She's got these problems, but she doesn't meet the criteria for this diagnosis and that one and so forth. I've been at the end of my rope. BIL and SIL invited us to come to their church last Sunday, and I decided to put my reservations about church and religion aside for that and go because they really wanted us to go. I absolutely do not regret that decision one bit! Something happened during that service, and I just threw my hands up and told God, "I don't know what's going to happen from here, I don't know what's down the road, but I know I can't keep living like this and I can't do this on my own. I need your help." Ever since, I've felt so much better, I feel like I've got so much peace in my life for once, and I'm so happy! :smiley:

    I'm happy that you've found a way to get peace and relief from the stress in your life!

    This too!

    Confession: I purposely scheduled my blood draw for our annual wellness program for this Saturday to trick myself into getting back on track so I don't screw that up for myself. I also have to NOT EAT after 9pm Friday until whenever I'm done Saturday (scheduled for 9:15am). Stupid lipid panel.

    ETA: I usually have very good cholesterol/lipids/etc results because I don't live on "junk" anymore anyway, but I'm pretending like somehow I need to work at it. ;)

    Is that this Saturday? Let me know how it goes

    HA HA, well y'know. If I'm going to be caught in a web of good food, I'm taking some of you down with me. FYI Tescos sell Reeses Krispie Kreme so you might as well get both at the same time :lol:

    I eat whatever I want on the weekends. I try not to go crazy, and do make an effort to eat healthier and modest portions on the weekends. But, nothing is off limits. M-F, I am very strict about what I eat. Working for me great, so far.

    I don't think I've been on 23 dates within the last 30 years of my life.

    I like the casual approach but there's no way I'd be comfortable with letting a stranger into my home on a first meet.

    This sounds like me. I am a little looser on the weekends with my food. I try to keep a closer eye on it through the week. I find that is easier to do because of work.

    Yep. Should have the results back by mid-week next week. Sooner if I start harassing the lab in Lenexa (they have the test with the longest turnaround time). ;)

    This is literally the 8th time I've participated and I've never had anything serious be wrong, but every year it gets me like suddenly THIS year I'm going to be super sick and not know it. I'm a bit of a spaz sometimes. It did help catch my impending anemia doom a few years ago though, so there's that!
