That was where I first learned of Rosco's. I honestly did not know it was a *real* restaurant until the L.A. f2f. I thought it was something ridiculous made up for the movie, because I had never heard of chicken & waffles. I have since learned the error of my ways.

My grandmother used to serve chicken a la king on waffles. I'm guessing that's not the same thing, though.

I thought it was a joke until someone actually took me there.

We have a Popeye's, KFC, and Roscoe's all within 2 blocks of us.

because I am heavy for my height that I would only need to gain 10-15 lbs when pregnant. Is he on crack? I've never heard of gaining so little weight when pregnant.

If you're overweight when you get pregnant, you can even safely lose weight during pregnancy, and I think in some cases it's recommended.

I was nearly 50 lbs overweight when I got pregnant. lost 23 lbs in my first pregnancy, gained 8 back and lost 17 lbs in my second. My deliveries were 9 days less than one year apart. I never bought maternity clothes, I stayed the same measurement around, my arms, legs, neck, face and hands all got thinner. My feet got bigger, and my ass stayed about the same.

Of course I had morning sickness all through both pregnancies, so being able to eat was wonderful. It didn't mean automatic weight gain, though, because I was breastfeeding.

...of course when I stopped, I gained about 40 lbs in six months.

My body is apparently supposed to be well-padded. Certainly not as abundantly padded as it is now, but nice and cushiony.

Erin, I'm sorry things worked out the way they did, but I'm certainly glad you had the sense and courage to cut your losses and get yourself out of there. Best luck on finding a surviveable job quickly.

Oh, Scrappy, I hope it's not as serious as you're thinking.

Casper-kitty is adorable. Also cute and fluffy!

Our family's doctors have speculated on the relationship between sugar-aggravated ADHD, ADD, and alcohol dependence. The brain chemistry is apparently similar between all three disorders, so the links may actually exist. I know when my seven-year-old mugs a kid for a candy bar--not out of aggression but because of the sugar-craving, and when my 18 year old turns into a raving psychotic after what is actually a modest amount of alcohol, and when I wake up at 3AM in front of the open fridge drinking Hershey's syrup out of a can? I think maybe sugar is not the harmless happy treat it's marketed as.

Askye, that is one cutiepie nephew, and one very proud auntie!

Dude, bonny, that "cake" has *no flour*! Something I could even eat! Copying and saving to try really soon.

Aww, I miss DH's biscuits--his are even better than my mom's.

I now want chicken & waffles from Rosco's.

We ate at Roscoe's last week, after moving a bunch of stuff out of Drew's garage.

I was thinking of Jilli and Pete the whole time. I do every time I go to Roscoe's now.

My body is apparently supposed to be well-padded. Certainly not as abundantly padded as it is now, but nice and cushiony.

I can think of nothing to say to this that would not be accompanied by old Big Bad Wolf cartoon sound effects, but I'll just say this: Beverly, my dear, you are definitely one of the most gorgeous women I have ever encountered, in all sorts of ways. Hooray for cushiony.

Just thought I'd remind you.

Karl, you do show up at the *most* opportune moments. Thank you!

And how in the world are you?
