Were they deliciously gooey in the middle? Cuz that's how I like 'em! I'm gonna have to try these out!! I also cannot have chocolate chips in the house for the same reason.

This is the update I was waiting for! I would've had the whole batch for dinner, too. 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup baking stevia? 1 egg? I would've put a few chocolate chips in there, cuz, well... I like 'em. I wonder if that would mess up the structure too much?

@nonoelmo I'm an OSU alum. And today is a proud, proud day. Hee hee

@Susieq_1994 Eid Mubarak! I just noticed you mentioned chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars and I nearly inhaled a bunch of drool. The desserts you are creating sound AMAZING! I'm looking forward to seeing the progress pics!

@crosbylee - GORGEOUS flowers!! What a lovely surprise to make you smile all day long. Yay!

You realize, of course, that you'll now spill something like.... coffee/tea/water on your pants juuuuust as you're thinking the threat has passed.... :wink:

I wanted to say that I read all your updates and am very interested in how things are going. I really hope that you get some positive news back from the psychologist and that a good plan is formed for transitioning her into school. She is a lucky kid to have such a caring, compassionate and strong mom who is willing to…

I'm so sorry, too. I must've missed this update when I was away for a few days. Thinking of you @orangesmartie - hugs!

Ha! While I DO like carrot cake, I do NOT like mayo, coffee, wine, curry, cream, sour cream or sweet pickles. @spamarie - I think we might have similar food issues... hee hee (Except I LOVE pizza.) We may soon be disowned on this thread. :wink:

I know, right?? I'm becoming fixated on the magical pie that @Susieq_1994 has created. I see the pictures of the chocolate and peanut butter pie in my daydreams. I need it. :)

Hahaha!!! Did you watch How I Met Your Mother? I loved it when Barney would say "Challenge Accepted!" Great stuff. Enjoy your personal watermelon! I love watermelon and now I would also like to acquire a personal watermelon. I'm gonna blame you.

@nonoelmo - Very cool story! You've definitely got someone looking out for you and good job listening when you needed to! @lilaclovebird Also a very cool story - your grandma is watching over you for sure! And good for you for heeding her advice!

Kid Icarus! I loved that one. Did you ever play Legendary Wings on the NES? It was a 2 player co-operative one (well, it had 2 player mode that was optional, at least) and my sister and I used to play that one all the time. I was a bit of an obsessive kid - I didn't want to miss any part of a game, so I'd use a…

Ha! This is TOTALLY me, too. I had a Lean Cuisine for lunch that involved gravy. Naturally, I got it on both my shirt and pants. I think I need a bib. Or overalls.

Thank you!!! I will do that when I get home. My work interwebs filters are so overly-restrictive. Probably so employees don't do things like Google NES emulator whilst on the company clock. Hee hee

Ouch! And the recovery doesn't seem too bad. Hmmm....except for the gaining 10lbs part! Ack. Thank you so much for sharing and letting me know! It'll be a couple weeks before I know anything more, but it's great to know that even if surgery may be involved, it may not be too hard to bounce back from.

I NEED THAT. I mean... ummm... it looks terrible... you should probably send it to the new food recycling place in Vancouver WA (aka my home). Let me get you the address.... :wink:

They did both versions of the ultrasound... thrilling, for sure! Ha! My bladder was extremely full for the abdominal one (I'm great at compliance with instructions! hee hee)... maybe it was just full bowel? I dunno. We'll see if doc orders another one. Thank you for your input and suggestions! I'll keep up the ibuprofen…

This is fabulous!!! Good luck! Having all the dogs on the run will be super fun and will be such an excellent motivation. @pofoster21 is a great inspiration to get out and do all the things, isn't she? I think I'll start working on training to climb Mt. Adams in Washington state next spring. My uncle and cousin invited me…

I WANT TO EAT THIS PIE. Er... ahem... sorry... I got very excited with all the peanut butter/chocolate ganache talk. I imagine that will be the most delicious dessert ever made and Mr. Susieq is a lucky guy!!

Weird question - has anyone here ever dealt with ovarian cysts? The last 2 months I've had progressively more pain in my left side. I've gone in to the doc and had an ultrasound, but the image of the left ovary was not clear for some reason. So, am waiting for a follow up with my regular doc in a couple weeks. Just…

WHAAAAAT????? Please tell me how he does this!! You can PM me if you want. I've been jonesing for some old school platform-style games! :-)

My husband was telling me that he LOVED this game! I've never played it, but now I'm curious. I was lamenting selling my old school Nintendo years ago and wishing I had it to play some Zelda or Super Mario on again. I worked hard at my grandma's farm to earn the money to buy the NES for myself when I was about 10 years…

+1 I'm so sorry for the ongoing drama with SD. HUGS!!

OMG!! WOW! That looks FABULOUS!! I hopehopehope you get to do it and can take pics to show us. What an amazing adventure! I've always wanted to do some trekking in the Himalayan mountains - Nepal, Tibet, etc. But never had the money or vacation time to do so. Machu Pichu would be so neat - I'd love to see it one day!

Oh I LOVE HP, too!! I'm planning to re-read the series this summer. My bestie and her family were recently at HP World in Florida and had a GREAT time!! I'd love to go someday.

@orangesmartie - Have a GREAT climb!! I'll be cheering you on from the States. I'm looking forward to pics when you get back! I'm heading out for a 3-day weekend in a few minutes. I'll catch up on Monday, but wanted to wish everyone a happy weekend!

Nice!! You are all muscle!!

ME, TOO!! :grin:

Confession: My co-worker is eating an ear of corn at her desk as a snack. Her "CRUNCH" sound every time she takes a bite is driving me NUTS. If anyone on here ever watched How I Met Your Mother, there's an hysterically funny episode where each character is told something annoying about themselves that they do. Lily's thing…
