You have an issue with the sprouts from Brussels, don't you

Yes.

Yes.

I can tell.

I can tell.

Pastries, bagels, pizza and cookies? Never heard them. Never ever. We-e-ll, maybe bagels and cookies.

Companies love carby breakfasts. Mine started having all of that plus protein options a few years ago after the majority of people skipped the provided breakfast and expensed the $30 hotel breakfast buffet!

And then they wonder why everyone can't keep their eyes open. Carb coma city limits.

@ShelterDog64 I posted the recipe on my FB wall!! They turned out awesome. Far too rich for me, though.

@theantichick

At your stage in the game, chocolate tasted like the bottom of an ashtray to me. Unfortunately, that changed.

I'm kinda glad it doesn't. I like a small bite of dark chocolate every once in a while. What I love now is that the one bite or one cookie is enough, and it doesn't taste quite as good as it used to, so I only have it if I'm really wanting it.

I got them off the food bar at Wegmans because they keep coming up here. They were roasted in what I assume to be garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and were quite charred. The initial taste was very good -- I love roasted veggies -- but they are certainly bitter little things once you chew them up. And as expected, I was quite gassy last night.

Hey, I just posted a link to a load of Brussels sprouts recipes. Title is 'Brussels sprouts on parade.'

That's pushing it.

I can hardly wait.

LOL. Sometimes you scare me.

I should.

Grumble, gritch, bitch. It's a mere change of seasons. It's happened before and it will happen again.....My grandma would have told you to "Take a little sweater." It was always "a little sweater," never "a sweater." Long after, my version became "Throw another little sweater on the fire."

It's horrible. I hate the cold. Especially now that I'm less 50 lbs of insulation. Currently shopping for a new down comforter since I know I'll need it. Used to sleep with the windows open in the dead of winter.

Seasons are overrated.

And it's ruining my blowout!

Sounds like bad hair days all around...

yep was hoping my short hair wouldn't be as impacted, but it's completely frizzed out today. and the rain ruined my commute to work too - seriously people, it's just a little water, no need to lose your mind

All my life my hair was straight to just nicely wavy. In more recent years, I never know what to expect. I wake to anything from straight to wavy to curly to frizzy. My hair has gone hormonal with time and rarely gives me what I hope for on any given day.

lol they are. I kind of like the cookie dough one though.

I don't like them much either, @CHM . For some reason, I was hopeful.

I like the apple pie and s'mores Quest bars, but the strawberry cheesecake flavor is horrifying :-P

I swear it's a full moon around these parts.

This sounds like a song title. Can you hum a few bars? Louder, please.

I was singing this the other day...for a different reason ☺️

no, it's not. the harvest moon is already past. it's just you.

Oh. You got me. How mature of you.

Wait. I blocked you long ago. How'd you even post to my status? @Alex Brecher ?

hello, its been a while,

glad to see you and a few of the vets are still chiming in XOXOX

Thank the Lawd...............I've been looking for a shelter for my crazy. It's seriously not understood at headquarters.

For the moment, it's late breakfast and, because of the lateness, it's also the lion's share of lunch. Happy mouth, happy tummy.

I hear ya. I just cooked brunch for my tribe. Breakfast burritos for them....eggs and sausage for me. That'll take care of me until a much later....probably do a protein shake.

Just up and nursing my first cup of coffee...started a couple of logs in the fireplace and my pup is on my lap. I'm happy

I hear you loud and clear and truly appreciate your no nonsense approach. I am always amazed at the number of people who equate "support"with enabling continued poor choices. Someone who is truly supportive will kick you in the ass when you need it

It's the "everyone deserves a trophy" (even if they suck) mentality! There are people who want to give everyone a pat on the back and call the rest of us bullies - even though that person is putting their health in jeopardy.

Thanks ladies! It seems like I could send up prayers, fart butterflies or toss $100 bills and someone is going to be mad about it. It's amusing!

me too and for a fun reason thank goodness. Leaving in a little bit to go to Longwood Gardens with a friend for their special lighted nightime display. a year ago, fully fat me wouldn't have been able to walk from the parking to the entrance without being in pain - let alone all around the botanic garden, especially after a day of work.

life is so much better in a thin body...... you look great girlie...

I can't wait to sound as happy and optimistic as these women! My surgery is 10/14.

The struggle is real. (But so worth it!)

How'd that work out for you?

Humph. Damn period.

I thought being unable to respond to a status meant being blocked. Someone blocked me. The individual must be daft.

@WLSResources/ClothingExch

You were daft enough to block ME!! That's how I figured it out!!

@LipstickLady, I knew you were referring to moi. Sometimes I just know things. And I never thought you were dumb. When I wrote above (below?) "only sometimes," i meant that I only looked at your posts some times. The "let's see what happens" meant that we'd see if you'd figure out that I unblocked you. Big grin back at ya.

This time next month I will be in the recovery room and on the loser's bench!! :-)

I can't wait to see you soar!!

Very cool. Loser's Bench is great !!!!

Buyer stuff. Inspection this morning, sending listings to another buyer. After that, hitting the gym. Yay for self employment!

I need your energy! I'm like a slug - couldn't get out of bed to get my ass to work on time!

Grilling, because I marrinated some meat over the weekend but was gone all weekend, so grilling right now before it goes bad. Baked my protein snacks for the week. on my 4th cup of coffee.

caramel popcorn...

Pinot gris

trashy romance novels, watching football, bloody mary's and any kind of shopping (other than food)!

Face. Hopefully next year it'll be my sexy body

Face and legs

Eyes and hair!

Well, @Cervidae made me rethink my response because hers was so good and thoughtful! :-) I'll think of something!

I was going to say 'my boobs' until I saw Cervidae's answer!

I love the fact that I am one of those parents who truly remembers what it was like to be a kid/teen and I can easily imagine life in m.y later years, so I bond well with both groups. Now, those other freaks in the middle...LOL Empathy. My greatest trait.

Not in Oz, Babbs. Friday today

@Babbs I've got my reason for documenting days. Everything for a reason.

I read this today...Saturday. So which of us is right? =)

@TWW200 You DON'T have CHEESE?? What kind of monster are you??

sounds delicious. and yeah, i'm not understanding the concept of there not being cheese in the house? how does that happen?

that sounds awesome!

Happy Birthday Dub and keep making this lady happy. =)

@Dub gettin alllllll the ladies!!!!

Ya'll are mighty sweet. Thank you. Currently at the ER with one of my employees. He was involved in an accident at work.......scary times, but he's going to be okay it seems. Grateful. Texting another of my employees who's at yet another hospital trauma center after t-boning a tractor trailer on the way to work. Praying for him. Neck injuries.......

What a night.

Positive changes are always good
