Today, one of my Chinese sons asked me about sumo wrestlers and I said they went out of their way to be as fat as possible. He said, "Like you?" Gee, thanks kid. :/

I'm not sure I've ever managed it.

When I was a kid VBS was my favorite part of summer. It kept me sane and happy!

@moodybear2003 those are amazing! I'm not a good cook at all, cookies or otherwise. I'm always terribly impressed by people with those kinds of skills.

Maybe it's just the fried part I like ;)
-
I LOVE fried pickles!

Oh, I see. I've never been to Austin. I've been to Houston a couple of times, but only briefly.
-
What's the closest big city?

Well, company bonding is worth it too. That's a sobering experience to see a number you broke years ago, but on a positive note, I'd like to thank you so much for giving blood, and a double donation to boot. I'm not sure if you remember this, but one of our sons is dependent on blood transfusions to survive. He is having…

I've always been very overwhelmed by Dallas! It's just such a big and busy city.

@kah68 everything just comes in mini sizes in China and it's so dang hot. Like being in Florida. We are! Just one more girl. A lot of people continuing adopting until they literally just can't do it anymore, but we're not one of those families. We know we have limited energy as both Mike and I have autoimmune disorders and…

@kah68 where do you live again? We actually do get a monsoon season in June. It lasts a week or two and we get almost all the rain we will get all year in that time. Since we're a desert, we're sort of on a different season schedule than most places. June is the full horror of the New Mexico summer and we're in the high…

Thanks @kah68 I'll be around for at least twenty pounds haha. I really can't go to China like this. I'll be miserable. I was miserable last time and I weighed twenty pounds less than I do now! I am hoping for at least thirty, but since we have no way of knowing when we'll travel, I don't know if that's even feasible. All I…

The summer after high school the Colorado Rockies had their inaugural year. I believe it was 1993 or 1994. At that time, I was so into baseball. I went to all the home games. I had two best friends and one of them had season tickets, so we went to every game together. Years later, after I'd moved from Colorado, I got…

That's fantastic that you know yourself so well @wadwrich My problem is concentration. :/

@wadwrich I was just planning for bariatric surgery as well, but I discovered I have a bizarre autoimmune disorder that makes me allergic to things suddenly that I wasn't allergic to before. Including anesthesia. So I'm not supposed to have anything but absolute emergency surgery just in case it happens to be a day I'm…

Wow @LC_libra I wish I was capable of making a cake like that! I'm super impressed. Back again in my old really unpredictable way. I made a mini goal of 20 to 30 pounds before we travel to China again to pick up our daughter. I don't know when we'll be doing that, any time between October and January of next year, but…

All good. I just suck at being present on the internet. Lol social media and I aren't the best of friends ;)
-
So sorry to hear about your husband Katrena. That's so difficult. If you are the kind who appreciates prayers, I will be praying for you.
-
Thanks for all the information guys!
-
Good thoughts @RobinsEgg Do any of you exercise in the pool without actually swimming or being a part of an organized water aerobics class? I have an allergy to my own sweat, which is the most annoying thing, and it makes working out tough because I get hives. It occurs to me that a great solution would be using the pool…

You know all the good holidays @Morgori
-
@KJEFFRIES2 we need to take our tree down too. We're just so easily distracted!
-
I don't think I'd be interested in shoving it inside my food...
-
Years ago I told you husband that he and his engineer father should invent something that could scan food and literally tell you exactly what's in it. Supposedly, that's what SCiO does. I'm curious how effective it really is, though.
-
Have you guys seen the SCiO? Anyone tried it?
-
Back from single moming it for 2 months to FIVE kids. Don't mind saying that was pretty much a nightmare! My husband was TDY with the military for the first time since the adoption. So that was no fun, and everyone mostly ate pizza for two months haha.
-
@jtconst Wow! Great work!
-
@kah68 that's gorgeous! I DO NOT take good pictures lol. So I stand in awe.

That's my kind of holiday!!!
