Whatcha Eating Today, VSGers? Wednesday, 08/15/18

Good morning. I'm up early playing World of Warcraft, so figured I could start the thread! Intended to start it an hour ago, but ... WoW things.

Today is me and Grandma day. Going to go thrift shopping and run around and go out to eat. I don't think I can convince her to go to Captain D's again (going to have to learn to cook Whitefish like they do, because It's amazing). Think we will go to Arby's. I'll make do :/

QOTD: What socially accepted thing/act can you not stand?

I don't know how socially acceptable it is, but I cannot stand people that spit in public. It's so gross and it makes me skin crawl. Another one is smoking pot, which is becoming socially accepted it not already. Given the history with my mother, I am 100% anti-drugs. Only exception is legitimate medical use.

Up early and at it! Well done! Thanks for posting the thread. Your day is well planned. Mine is all messy. I'm having a difficult time wanting to eat anything as for whatever reasons it all tastes metallic. Oh well.

QOTD: What socially accepted thing/act can you not stand? Cell phones at the table; cell phones in the car on a trip; cell phones while driving. WHAT is more important than the moment you are living???

B:

Good one: I HATE when people talk or txt on them when at the table (emergencies are the exception, but the person should step away).

I think today was supposed to be before/after picture day - maybe tomorrow?

QOTD: OMG, as much as we need them, I agree that cell phones have made it acceptable to be rude. I hate seeing young couples ignoring each other in a restaurant (or even entire families) to be sitting there on the phone. Spitting is gross too - why was that ever ok? Just think - it was once acceptable to smoke in office buildings and people's homes - so grateful that's changed.

B: 1/2 bagel, cored, toasted with jarlsburg

L: idk, home today, food is scarce, lol

D: thinking of trying Scott Conant's spaghetti with garden tomatoes. Trouble is, I won't be able to eat much - maybe put the sauce on some veg - yum

E: still humid and gross, so no

L/V: good

I found out not that long ago that my MIL and FIL text each other throughout meals in restaurants because my FIL's hearing is horrible and restaurants tend to be so loud that they can't hear each other! So... I try not to judge too much when I see people using their phones at restaurants, since I never know what they're doing.

HOWEVER. I've been going to the gym recently to run and I'm astounded by how many people will be walking on the treadmills or using the bikes and all hunched over their phones. Don't they know what that's doing to their posture?!

We were going to do photo Wednesday, but I can't beat Mersh's time in the morning! I'll set it up tomorrow? I have my pictures ready!

QOTD: Yes, spitting is gross! I also dislike public displays of affection. A simple kiss is fine but when I see a couple on a beach or wherever making out in public it really bugs me.

2 Years, 4.5 months post-op (maintaining at goal for 20 months)

Always lots of coffee...

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Making a new chicken recipe (I have 2 I bought ingredients for)

S: Siggis yogurt or homemade cottage cheese with fresh berries

I almost put public displays of affection too! LOL

Most good manners just boil down to avoiding things that make others uncomfortable, don't they?

I must have missed something about photos. I did not read the menu board yesterday since I just did a quick post. I should have read. Sorry, Liz!

That's ok! We will do it tomorrow!
