Okay, I thought of something. Deepfried posted in the Friday Fun thread about Zotz candy. I haven't had those in forever! So, it made me think about candy. What are your favorites?

Clearly Peeps are on my list. I also love those gummy soda bottles, sour patch everything but especially the watermelon ones. Real black licorice is another favorite.

I love rootbeer barrels and those rootbeer bottle caps. They are yummy. Trying to watch that movie with Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford, what was the name?

DF-

Here is a video for you

And anyone else who doesn't understand the dot candies!

Well, my 2.5-year-old is an occupation on her own and I'm watching my nephew (eight months) tonight too. So, being distracted might be a bad idea. Getting myself addicted to a show and then watching it on Netflix, episode after episode, is usually what I do. I rewatched Heroes and went back and saw all Veronica Mars that way. Need to find new shows I want to watch.

Fun thread

Favorite candy right now is Hot Tamales (the "fire" kind, in the black box). Going through WAY too many of them. Also really like chewy spree or sweet tarts. Pixie stix too.

I agree with not understanding the dots. The little shreds of paper that stick to them don't taste good either.

Distraction tonight is watching Yogi Bear with my family. I used to play Zuma too, not the blitz kind on Facebook, but the full version on PopCap. Also Zuma's Revenge. Now I'm into Farmville and wish I'd never started. Takes too much time away from things I need to be doing in "Reality-ville".

Liese: Morning Glory is the name of the movie. I really liked it!

Yeah, I don't get dots either. They always end up with paper stuck to them which is icky.

LG, I'm a FB addict too. I haven't tried Zuma. I don't usually play games on there. I'll have to check it out!

SG, we cross-posted!

Yes, I love hot tamales and have serious addiction to those as well!! Might have to make a run for those later although my recent filling seems to be telling me to lay off the candy.

My H is a Bejeweled addict. He routinely has the highest score of any of my FB friends. I've tried a few games on FB (Bejeweled, Diner Dash--which I had tried on yahoo). I haven't really found one that can keep my attention for an extended period.

Compromise by hanging out with us a bit longer and then going to bed?

No no no... you're not looking at this the right way... you just need to brush more - ALWAYS the same amount of candy. Never limit the candy.

Ahh, yes. You are very wise my peepfried friend. Wise indeed.

My main distraction right now has been working… when I accomplish something with my job I can practically hear my T saying “I’m so proud of you!” My other distraction (and obsession) has been LUSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love lush!!! Going to the lush store, or taking a nice long lush bath, or just smelling my lush goodies! And sharing my Lush with boyfriend of course

How the heck do you guys eat all this candy and not be crazed sleep deprived zombies?!!?!? I could never do it!!!!!

This is why I eat the candy!! I'm already a crazed sleep deprived zombie. The candy is how I get through the waking hours...and the caffeine. I've tried both ways, it makes no difference at night but it does in terms of staying up during the day!

I've never tried Lush. I've heard a lot about it though. I'm always afraid I'll get a UTI from it. Silly, but I worry about these things.

Ah, I love Monty Python!

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

Another crazed sleep deprived zombie here, running on caffiene and sugar.

Never heard of Lush. Off to google it.

I totally get the candy=the only way to stay awake thing, all this candy talk just is very hard for me when I going to school for nutrition... i am resisting screaming at you all JUST PUT DOWN THE CANDY AND EAT SOME VEGETABLES!

Mac: If I eat my veggies first, can I have candy after?

I just finished watching Going the Distance. Very funny, cute, and satisfyingly inappropriate in parts.

DF - Insomnia here too. Working on my "homework" for T. Tinkertoys sound a lot more fun than what I'm experiencing right now.

Do my cats or my H count as stuffed animals?

That might hurt them a bit...

DF: Oooh, we have tons of Tinker Toys at my house! I've got boys. I hope you have fun with them and you managed to get some sleep.

PF: I've heard of Kinder chocolate and I hear it is really good. Wow, no candy?! I wish I didn't like it.

Oh stuffed animals in the bed...yes, I have a stuffed kitty.
