    Dark sounds good but they didn't have that kind.

    Dog only been here a few months. I'm sure they'll be sad but will get over it. Prepping boy now.

    Thank you! I'll definitely need it after this morning. Boy getting allergy tested. 50 pricks or more. Still begging to go to Nanny's.

    Wishing you many packs of Tim Tams.  You have a lot on your plate today.  In the bag for Boy.  All those pricks are not fun.  Ice cream or special treat after?

    Ice cream machine broken at McDonald's. Took forever in hospital for blood draw. 41 pricks, 2 breathing tests and 6 viles of blood. He was very brave.

    Will have banana splits after basketball practice. He likes maraschino cherries and ask for neopolitian ice cream.

    I finished off the Tim tams and ready to nap!

    yay for boy, lots of maraschino cherries for the beave little guy! I love basketball, our oldest was a great player and it put him though college! Two reasons to love it!

    I have never had Tim tams either and two hours away from Target, good thing maybe. Had not heard about the Canadian Targets closing but the parking lots are full of Canadian cars every weekend, they can save a lot of $$$ down here and we appreciate their business.

    Oh Z, what a good boy he is! Nice choice of treat too, I sure hope you get to the bottom of the allergies, Bec did all those tests too, not pleasant.

    Aren't those TimTams nice comfort food!

    Oh my god, WHAT is a Tim Tam that it is so delicious? I am really curious now. They cannot be that good! And M, they are vegan?

    DP! Is the steroid hippo back! Hooray! I am hoping the answer is yes. I do not want you off steroids without taper. Poor DP, you must be starving! Waiting for update from you. Hope you are completely stoned off your ass and laughing over shiny things on QVC! Is David on? Who will marry him?

    Z, it's a good boy you've got there. Can't say the same for our darling. She kicked and punched many nurses and orderlies whilst in the neuro icu undergoing tests last year.

    Maybe they deserved it, Bobo.  You know what some nurses are like.

    Not sure if Tim Tams are vegan,,, probably not,,,,

    I'd say, statistically generalizing, about 70 percent of nurses probably deserve a kick. However, the beautiful large orderlies, with dreadlocks, do not.

    Everyone at the hospital knew her. When she was swinging around her pack (that contained expensive neuro equipment) and running around her room in the middle of the night, the techs watching her from a hidden camera in the ceiling were like, [Our darling]. Stop swinging your pack.

    I ate the whole package at once when I was honored to get timtams in the mail. They were crazy delicious. I didn't mean to but I just kept having one more. It wasn't a big bag though. But a decent size little pack. Melt in your mouth divine. Thanks again dawny. Steroid hippo definitely here and hungry.

    DP, what are they like? Crispy? Coated with choccy? I just have no idea what is causing all the fuss!

    Hi steroid hippo! **waving** Thank you for keeping DP company!

    I am not allowed to have those. I just wanted to live vicariously through the eaters.

    Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate. Yummy. Not vegan but can find a close vegan cousin at woolworths.

    Yes had banana splits after practice and he took a long shower. Back just has red marks on it now. No whelps. Still highly allergic to pecans and sesame seeds. Need blood to determine others as he was highly reactive. Don't want to go crazy until I have to. Start allergy shots next week. Hope to have a good spring.

    Tim Tams are crispy chocolatey squares of heaven, honestly, I've never tasted anything more delicious. I haven't had them in almost 15 years, but I still remember how unbelievably delicious they are. They probably are not vegan... certainly one wouldn't hurt, would it?

    Oh Zils, what a brave sweetheart.. that must have broke your heart... did he get his banana split?

    Nd, they are totally worth a 2 hour drive.. just sayin...

    DP, nobody can resist eating a whole package (they aren't big packages), steroids or not :) Worse than potato chips they are.

    Gawd, I'm hungry now!

    OMG! Tim Tam porn!

    Idesim, one would hurt. Am allergic. Just like my boy there! Oh Z. Those red marks hurt me just to read about them! Waiting to hear the full list. Delicate thing. He is sweet too. XXX

    Yes the pkg not very big. Call ahead to see if they're in stock. They go fast!

    My Walmart now carries McVitties and Kerry Gold butter. Wonder if I can get them to stock timtams.

    He said it didn't itch. Hurt a little. They sprayed inhaler on it afterwards and Benedryl cream. Then lidocaine on elbows for blood draw at hospital. Good stuff.

    Oh that sweet boy, give him a gentle hug from me! All this Tim Tam talk got to me, I bought some this morning for the morning tea, along with the lemon drizzle cake and the lemon tarts, we ate the lot between 4 of us and lots of tea and coffee too! You all are a bad influence on me!

    Just realized....Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Glennie, Happy Birthday to you! Hip Hip, Hooray! I hope you had a wonderful day Glennie! M x

    Waving Betty arms to everyone! Well, one arm anyway, having my Herceptin infusion at the moment so my left arm is busy 😄

    DP, I am sorry you are going through more crap on a Chapstick. Why are there saying the nutrients are of no benefit? I don't understand. I had gall stones and my gallbladder removed about 20 years ago, the pain before wats excrutiating. Relief afterwards. Pancreas trouble can be caused by gallstones, is that right? So you can't eat for how long? And is cyber knife rescheduled? Yay for talking to M! Those Tim Tam needed to be eaten in one go DP, it was teeny packet. Would you like some more? Anyone else like some sent over?

    Happy birthday Glennie! Sorry, I have birthday list, but keep forgetting to look to see who is next! Except for M, of course, cos her birthday is the same day as mine!

    Looking around for any nurse Magoo here 😄. One nurse is sharing a big box of maltesers, yum!

    Bobo, still overdosing on my Thermomix, DH is saying, stop, I am putting on too much weight! Yesterday it was butter chicken, vegetarian version for me. Very tasty. Also mango ice cream bars, granola and stock and tomato paste. Today I have yoghurt happening, it is all wrapped up warm in a blanket, while it does its thing, DD wants to peek at it, I bet she is while I am at the hospital!

    Gotta go, here comes nurse ratchet! Xx

    omg that looks horrible!!! Glad it looks worse than it feels.. sheesh. How long do you have to wait for the results?

    Aww Bobo, I'm sorry.. we'll stop the Tim Tam porn, they're totally overrated anyways.

    M, did you eat any actual food, or just the cookies, cake & tarts? lol

    Dawny, you must be on a similar schedule as me.. do you have it every 3 weeks? I have to go Wednesday. My Onc told me Herceptin can contribute to weight gain, so tell DH you can't help it.

    Hey, I would like birthday list... Z are you keeper of that?

    Thank you for Tim Tam offer, M is too mean to send them... but apparently a major retailer here in the U.S. stocks them a couple of times a year.

    Wow, you guys share a birthday?? What's the odds of that lol.. that's amazing!
