On Tapatalk, why do some threads stick at a random place in the middle of the thread, even if I've read past that point?

cagoldi, if you tried it, how's the beyond meat burger? I tried it. It was meh for me. I’d much rather eat a traditional veggie burger instead of a veggie burger trying to taste like meat. I didn’t like the consistency. With that said, with the right toppings it could be good but I’d still choose a bean-based veggie burger in a heartbeat. |

I i'm never really happy with the prepackaged veggie burgers. Our favorites here are chickpea or black bean burgers and sweet potato and quinoa burgers. I make them kind of bulky with some chunks still in it, and I haven't been able to find that replicated in a prepackaged one. |

Hi hi!
First off I'm pissed about the govt, how the hell does this happen when it's one party in complete power?! And blaming it on Democrats bc we won't choose between DACA or CHIP? Now that's some BS. I'm sorry to all impacted.
Second, kids seem ok? J seems fine so maybe he is okay? N is snotty and her temp was 99.5, but otherwise acting normal. Of course we got invited to a last minute playdate with j's bff and I had to decline. It's warm, so I'm planning a stroller nap for N and getting some much needed exercise and fresh air.
And finally MH is annoyed with me for the most ridiculous reason - I went to Costco and came home and mentioned I wasn't sure what I spent $250 on (I mean I do, everything there is $10 at least). Anywho, so he's visibly annoyed unloading the car...turns out he's mad I bought celery and onions. Since apparently we already had onions and we don't eat enough celery and don't have room for these gigantic items??🤔

On Tapatalk, why do some threads stick at a random place in the middle of the thread, even if I've read past that point? I’m not sure exactly about that but if the last post you read wasn’t on the newest page it does this weird thing. All you have to do is pull down from the top to refresh it and scroll to the bottom. It should be the newest post. |

In OH probably. One of the refs on parenting was talking about it a while back. She said she really liked it. ETA: I just googled and apparently TGI Friday’s is going to (or already does) have it in their restaurants. |

trtlcrzy, The impossible burger is pretty popular around here -- it's in lots of restaurants, but it isnt available for retail sale.

snoopmommymom veggie burgers trying to pass for real meat are so disgusting. Team spicy black bean all day every day.

The heat is fixed, hooray! Thankfully it wasn’t anything major and the guy could come early.
We are up in Williamsburg now; i had bought several decorative plates for my kitchen when we were here last with the ILs, but decided I needed 2 more. So we got those, hit a little candy shop, and are now headed to the kids’ favorite playground.

I got groceries and then decided to get a car wash. I was in line for about 10 minutes before I realized I must have put my purse in the back with the groceries so I got out to check. Nope. Shit. Went back to the grocery store and someone had turned it in after i left it in the cart outside. Sadly, this is the 2nd time I’ve done this in a month. I’m lucky a good person found it and turned it in!
When I got back to the car wash the line was even longer so I just came home. Dh is out now and will get it washed. Kids are napping and I’m going to lay on the couch.. i keep telling myself vacation isn’t over until Monday!

klong11 I was at the dentist this morning and this woman is coughing in the dentists face. He point blank asks her if she's sick and she says "it's just post nasal drip from allergies". Yeah right! I would hate to work in people's mouths right now. Or ever really. I cancel appointments when I'm sick. My doctors have sometimes started rescheduling me if they feel under the weather because of my immunodeficiency. I appreciate it. |

Morningstar makes good burgers. Their black bean burgers and grillers are good.

cagoldi, if you tried it, how's the beyond meat burger? Freaked me the eff out LOL. Smelled like a cow, texture like a cow, I think the taste was similar enough. My mom and I couldn't eat them because we thought they were too similar to eating animals. Pete said they were okay. I still think the Gardein burgers are still the closest tasting to beef. |

Colin had skating and a gymnastics birthday party, and he's still hyper as anything. He should be exhausted! LOL

I think the "meatballs" I gave the boys the other night we're Gardien. The store didn't have the brand I usually get but they were pretty good.

Don’t know if I properly said hi today. Well hi! Went to see my grandma last night, she’s having a heart valve replacement operation Tuesday and I really wanted to see her one last time before that. We talked, we laughed, she gossiped about family, it was really nice.
Today my parents and ds went to a huge furniture/decor store, bought some small things and a velt giraffe head to go with ds’ zebra #mamcantsayno...

I got an email at work about influenza. I know some people were asking about testing for it and this is the infographic they shared: If presenting to an outpatient clinic  High risk categories are things like under age 5, other health issues (like cardiovascular, etc), over age 65, American Indians or Alaskan Indians, morbidly obese, etc. |

MH wants to take our gate down from the bottom of our stairs. Hell no, H. I am not chasing L up and down the stairs 5678886 times a day.

I just bought tickets for the local semi-pro basketball team for a few weeks from now. My work is doing a promotion for $5 tickets, so I got 4 tickets for under $30! Super excited. Our seats are like 7 rows from the court. I don’t know if we’ve brought H to one of their games before. She will love it!

I have briefly considered removing our gate by the stairs since S has gotten good at going up and down. But then I remembered that I don’t want her to go downstairs whenever she wants and changed my mind. |

Consider my mind blown from this government shut down talk. I’m sorry but isn’t the government supposed to show strength and steadiness during rough times, IDK BECAUSE THEY’RE THE GOVERNMENT. Shaking my head over here, i truly don’t understand.
