I just saw this on my Facebook feed and it made me smile. Quick! Get some cake! Edit: Just noticed the cobblestones and double-yellow lines. @LBuehrle8 - get used to those!!

Interesting! I hadn't heard of that. What's the flavour like?

Ah, are you 'Spam Arie'? I always read it as 'Spa Marie'!

I have a weak bladder and will pee ANYwhere when I really need to go! With regards to your neighbour, honestly if her water broke yesterday and she's only 24 weeks, I would have thought she'd still be in hospital (however things turned out). It would be nice to knock and check, and ask if there's anything you can do for…

This is actually our first summer (been here 12.5 years) where I said "Screw this" and we bought window air conditioners for the bedrooms. I don't mind being hot during the day, but at night I hate it. I do know a few people with central AC and I can't deny it does seem a bit indulgent, since there's like 15 days a year…

I would think your age would be more of a factor than being a touch overweight. I've known loads of heavier women get pregnant easily and carry healthy babies, including several pretty obese women. Those who are underweight are more likely to have trouble conceiving than those who are a little overweight. I'd say start…

Tonight I am SPAMKILLER Hear Me Roar!! (Seriously, when is MFP going to put in a decent filter? There really is a ridiculous amount.)

I'll catch up properly tomorrow - today's been busy. I wanted to update again about my daughter. My friend, who's known my daughter since she was born, pointed out that she thought my daughter's jaw/face was looking a bit puffy and that this could be an indicator of a thyroid problem. I googled and sure enough it seems…

I agree. It's actually quite edgy, for a feel-good Christmas movie.

That's so suuuuper great! Glad you've found each other - he definitely sounds like one of the good'uns.

One of my friends was once very, very drunk and ate a handful of cigarette butts out of the ashtray thinking it was a bowl of Twiglets. :s

Yes! That's how I feel too.

Anyone heard from @orangesmartie recently? I hope she's doing ok.

Will look out for that - I need a vacation read!

I think all of that makes perfect sense. The reason I've had problems in the past is because I've considered the weight loss 'done'. Instead, like you, I need to learn to keep checking and monitoring.

Yeah, sorry. Don't read if you're offended by rude words. Oops. Sweet dreams - hope you're full of energy tomorrow!

No idea about that brand, but I love homemade guac and would happily eat it with a spoon. Otherwise, in wraps/sandwiches instead of mayo. As a dip, with salsa as well if you like, I guess. With chips, raw veggies. Anything really. Just think of how you'd eat a creamy dip and guac will work. ETA: Fajitas!

Agreed! When we were at Disneyland we saw someone being taken off Space Mountain obviously suffering a seizure. I figured someone who knew they might have a seizure probably wouldn't choose to go on Space Mountain, so chances are it was her first one - what a way to find out you have epilepsy (or whatever it was that…

This review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215 is one of the funniest things I've read and a very good depiction of a truly awful book. Warning: some quite a lot of swear words.

Nope. Couldn't get an appointment until first week of April. Fortunately she's a bit cheerier this week - she got a job she really wanted and that's given her a big boost. Still very, very tired, but not crying so much, so that's better at least. ETA: Oops, not April, August!

Yeah, I've encouraged a couple of people to sign up, and ... nothing.

I had a frank conversation with my mum yesterday. It was her 71st birthday. She's been overweight pretty much as long as I've known her ( ;) ) and on some kind of fad diet most of that time. She's a big, tall woman, so she carries it well, but ultimately there have been health consequences. She definitely believe in magic…

I understand your frustration. Can you just stop answering the questions? It really is none of their business how you're losing the weight. Or just keep repeating that you just eat less than you used to and maybe it will sink in eventually.

Ooh, you'd have a hard time at my house then. I still buy my sugar in flour in 20lb bags and store them in catering bins like this:

At that age my nephew was famous for eating anything with ketchup on it. His friends like to remind him of the time he ate a piece of wood with ketchup! He's still an 'anything for a dare' type kid, even now at age 19. :#

When you can stuff, do you actually use it? I go through mad phases of making things and then find it never gets used. I just threw away a load of pear and ginger chutney I made last year and literally none of it had been used. :|

It's stunning! The colours are actually colours I have on my living room couches! The water itself looks very cold!

Thanks, but it didn't last :( I've been above 150 every day since.

Ooh, sounds promising! I really hope it works out for you!

Great work, neighbour!
