Goodbyeevan, you had me at cake! I think that could become a problem, or at least sugary stuff in general. My new thing is espresso crunch M&M's. Congrats to your bf! Sounds like his coworker is not in the "keeper" friend category.
Hang in there, Mako and Nicholle! You'll be in my thoughts today, and all the others who are struggling.
Sober81, best to you with your surgery!
