Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
I have been a few weeks off from every holiday these past few years.
So, Happy Mother's Day early!
In previous years, when Ms. Madge was posting, I was buying Sees Candy chocolate eggs. It was a tradition! Then, it was all gone, and very expensive.
This year, I planned to wait it out until after Easter, taking a page out of Cwillie's play book. 50% off! I may have missed the sales.
I ran across some sales at Big Lots, but could not bring myself to buy it when I was there.
If this discussion did not come up again, I could have forgotten my traditional chocolate egg pursuit, with the goal of 1/2 off.
Now, I am getting obsessed! Last time I shopped the Sees candy eggs, I bought too much, my dH still had some hoarded a year later.
I want quality, fresh, individually wrapped chocolate, at a discount. Just a little bit. I am envious of you all who can find discounts to make yourselves sick.
Lol.
Where's mine?
“vanilla and chocolate, or cookies with layer of mint, dipped in chocolate” ??? :)
1. currently packing
2. in search of said land
3. i’m not as strong as cwillie
On that note, I had better start dinner.
i’m already entering other people’s houses.
there is no more chocolate in the house, I already ate it all 🤪
“Want chocolate.....
Must.
Stay.
Strong.”
wish i had your strength. i’m doomed.

Tootsie Rolls are chocolate,
and said to be a survival food.
I ordered 360 midget Tootsie Rolls when I read the Tootsie Roll story about the U.S. Marines ordering ammunition and received the candy dropping from the skies. Seems Tootsie Roll was the code word for ammunition during the war, and a mistake was made.
From the internet: "Tootsie Rolls became an alternative to the classic chocolate known and loved by everyone, which would melt at temperatures starting at 85 degrees. This is why Tootsie Rolls became popular in the military. These classic sweets can withstand almost every environment on Earth, so soldiers would bring them as a part of their field rations to boost their morale."
Why not? Caregivers are in a battle anyway.

i'm in the right place for chocolate in my purse. we have continual snow outside. suddenly i understand why i'm here.
Everything melts in Florida
especially for people who need to practice saying "no"...
"NOPE.
Not today."
"Hahahahahano."
"Nah."
"First of all, no. Second of all, no."
"It's a
no
from me."
"How about no."
“You’re always
one decision
away from
a totally
different life.”
“Do not let someone’s irresponsibility become your responsibility.”
“You deserve all the love &
happiness that come your way.”
I like yogurt a lot too. I buy plain Greek yogurt and put it in smoothies or I make a parfait with fresh fruit and granola. I started using it in recipes instead of sour cream too.
I have never broken a bone either.

I eat mostly yogurt and must have strong bones from it. The only thing I've broken was my little toe. I'm not the most graceful person and seem to run into things or drop something on my feet 😁
My autocorrect hates me! 😆
Should read ‘ate’ well all of their lives.
I have horrible allergies too. They are miserable.
I know what you mean about ‘eating properly’ not always helping. I think about people who have exercised and are well all of their lives and end up dying young.
Other people eat junk, smoke, drink, etc. and they are still doing well. Go figure.
