    OMG. Poor Boy. Oh, I feel it. But I feel it near my heart, on the front side.

    I need the birthday list too. What happened to that? It's all just been out of control. I need to get back on the birthday list train.

    Hi Betty! **waving** Wow, your recipes sound so good. I am amazed that you make yogurt! You are amazing! You and idesim are on the same H schedule? I, how has that been? We have not talked about it lately.

    Loved hearing M's tea-time dessert orgy!

    Oh thank you Idesim! Herceptin infusions can contribute to weight gain? So that's the problem! My last infusion is Wednesday so I guess I will begin dieting on...Sunday! Lol Seriously, I couldn't figure out why I can't lose any weight. Hopefully it will get easier after I stop the Herceptin!

    Poor boy! He looks like he has reactions to so many things! He has got to be uncomfortable. What a trooper!

    I really have to try these Tim Tams! Ya'll make them sound better than sex!

    What are Maltesers Dawny?

    Hi Dawny! Waving at you! gorgeous day here today, I hope your treatment goes quick and you can get out in the sunshine.

    ldesim, it was morning tea, 11.30 am, lunch isn't till about now, 2pm will be making Vegan veggie bites in the Air Fryer and salad, no, not tossed, nooooooooooo!!!!! with roasted garlic hommus, soup for dinner tonight!

    Bobo, the only thing in TimTams that you can't eat is a bit of whey, it doesn't affect me, and I don't ever eat dairy. There is a dark chocolate version too, but they still have some whey protein. I think the original has 11 in a pack and less for the different flavor ones. They do small sampler packs too.

    Spookiesmom, I remember all the sticks Bec had to get for allergies and Asthma, never gave a moment of trouble, but then you'd see another kid, carrying on like they were being murdered for one little stick.

    Glennie, glad you enjoyed the Birthday Song! M x

    oh my, all that before lunch? lol!! Glad to hear you are not having tossed salad.

    SGC, that's what my onc said.. I was blaming the Tamoxifen and she said it was probably the Herceptin. Glad to hear you will be done!!! I imagine though, it might take 3 weeks or so to get out of your system... that gives you plenty of time to experience Tim Tams (while not better than, they can be comparable to sex HA!) before you go on a diet.

    Ok,I need to step away from these threads and get a few things done before bedtime.

    Sgc maltesers are little malt balls coated in chocolate. They look like Whoppers but WAY better!!! You can find them in the International aisle of some grocery stores. They are in a red packet. My DD is obsessed with them. We get them in Canada, and in UK.

    Never heard of them...but they are available at Amazon: Maltesers

    Timtams are also available: TimTams

    I order a lot of stuff from Amazon, I need to try these.

    I don't think I'd like the malt things.. I am not a Whopper fan.

    $10.99 seems a bit much for Tim Tams, they are rather small packages. I looked up if my Target store has them, and they don't :( Probably for the best.

    They are much better than whoppers (which I don't like either). And the chocolate coating is good.

    Not the same. I prefer whoppers as that's what I grew up on. DH loves maltesers.

    My to do list is a mile long. BG's diaper leaked in our bed in my side! Ugh. More laundry.

    3 2 1 go!

    You probably just blocked it. Go to menu, dashboard. Scroll down to bottom and unblock it.

    I've done it before. Frustrating:)

    Bobo, only you would notice the open package.

    So, here's my question. Is it bad to drink say 3 fruit/veg smoothies a day? Other than they give me plenty of time on the throne(and yes that is where I am writing from....get over it)

    I thought it was a good thing. But now I am reading it can cause diabetes.

    There is a lot of sugar in fruit,, but it is natural,,, not like drinking 3 sodas a day which is very concentrated sugar. I wouldn't worry about it.  Are you getting some protein too?

  • AndreaJ50

    Yes, I am getting protein everyday. Thinking about using protein powder in smoothies. Any recomendations?
