Couch 188: Who needs those people, anyway?

there is nothing dark chocolate cannot fix!

I've got dark chocolate for everyone.

well that looks rather delightful!! [breaks off a little chunk] mmmmmm

Speaking of dark chocolate...that’s the newest Oreo flavor.

Really!! I may have to try those.

They are good, There is also carrot cake, which are good but hard for me to eat. Reminds me of my T.

I also saw ones with candy-heart flavored creme.

Oh the humanity

Oh boy. Sugar-flavored chalk between two crispy chocolate cardboard circles. Yummmmmmmm.

No, no—Hydrox are the ones that taste like cardboard.

My favorite all around chocolate: Guittard bittersweet baking bars. 70% cacao and no bitterness at all, yet way less sugar than "eating" bars.


If I've got to have a cookie, dark Milano will always win out!

Dark Milano are excellent. But you know, now they come in candy cane and pumpkin spice, right?

I saw the candy cane ones at Christmas, but blessedly missed the pumpkin spice ones. But I'm flexible: I'll buy the double stuffed ones in a pinch.

W was grumbling about her large breasts.
I said, "I would have thought you would be used to them by now."
She replied, "They're a constant surprise."

A constant unpleasant surprise, I imagine. Big breasts are such a nuisance.

There are carrot cake-flavored Oreos?

Where are to you guys finding all these oddly flavored Oreos. I've only ever seen regular and mint.

Are you in the US? I've seen the carrot cake at Target stores if so.

I am so annoyed... morning rant

Last night mom dropped by to give my brother something she picked up for him, and came to see my dog. While she was upstairs, she was like 'I need to find something' and opened my bedroom door and went in. I was internally panicking because I had my handouts from Tues sitting on my bed. Luckily I knew where what she wanted was and quickly grabbed it in the living room so it lured her out

then she was telling me that "She cleaned my room and organized it" which is referring to my old room at her house. I left a few boxes there I didn't have space for. Again, internally panicking now. I have to go there today since I work and need her to watch my dog so I'll have to see what she threw out etc.

This is what I deal with in life, she's always been this way and it has caused a lifelong "fear" in me of her finding things. I hide so much ****, and even do it out of habit if I'm living alone etc. Ugh I hate this. She has no boundaries or respect for us. She lives under the "I'm your mother, there is no privacy" mindset.

My poor sibling, who is disabled, has to have her "Tag along" on his therapy. She doesn't trust him and so she goes with to keep tabs on topics, she has a list of things he can't talk about. Needless to say, he's made 0 progress in 2 yrs. I have no idea why the T even allows her to be there, she isn't being charged extra or anything. My T would have thrown her *** out

I'm so glad she didn't see my papers, I would have had a panic attack. I'm trying to keep this therapy stuff this time from my family. None of them would understand my grief over him. My mom instantly would ask if I had been sleeping with him. She was already "concerned" I was alone with him for evening sessions.

I hate this woman, I really do. Sigh....

On the plus side, today is my last day of my seasonal job until after my surgery and NYC (if I choose to return) so I'm happy about that, I hate dealing with *****y people

I concur with W. They are a constant nuisance, my shoulders and back always hurt. Just a fact of life I don't much bother complaining about anymore, but always there.

There are bras that can help with that. Or go for a bra fitting—it’s amazing how many women are actually wearing the wrong size.

I tried..... a pointless waste of time and money. I can't stand the (expensive) bras that have been suggested at fittings. They pinch and the brafitter person said no they don't and I said excuse me but yes they do are you in my body? To be fair that was before I lost weight last year maybe I could try again.

That’s the only part of my body I am not generously proportioned but I know many who are and they all say the same thing about their back and shoulders always hurting. It does not seem like a pleasant experience for a woman.

I had a lot of issues with bras before I had a breast reduction. They just don't make bras for women with small frames and big boobs.

I should have dropped this class when I still could have 2 days ago. **** damn **** son of a *****. and other assorted words that will change to *.

eta: i know, i know, i know. "stop it".

Remember, art, per aspera ad astra. Through difficulties to the stars.

Also, can’t you still drop? You just won’t get a refund.
