Valentine's Day

Here is a place for social chats with special attention to support and non medical discussions. We need a place to chill out, where we can distract from our pain and enjoy lighter moments, share a joke or funny moment with others.

I thought the same thing as you did, Mel! Smarties in the US are those overly sweet/sour fruity flavors of compressed powdered sugar, in a pill-like shape. :D

Our smarties are coloured, candy coated disc shaped chocolate, yes, M and M style (M and M's used to be Treats here. I love peanut Treats SO much, I wouldn't dare buy any) You also made our Marathon bars into Snickers! still taste good tho' :)
MMMmmmm. No! wouldn't fancy a smartie Mcflurry your side either ;)

Meliora,
Thanks for the condolence. I have not been too into holidays but did enjoy some Godiva chocolate covered strawberries. The smarties in UK sound much better than the ones here in US!

2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.

Karyn, sadly I do eat smarties, but never in ice cream! heehee! :) I have a major sweet tooth!

Helen, I think the food in the UK is of MUCH better quality than in the US. I actually am excited when I can find/buy food from Europe. It is healthier!!! Almost everything here is full of hydrogenated oils and million other strange ingredients!

Janet, you are welcome. Losing family is so very difficult. :(
Your Godiva strawberries sound absolutely divine!
