Easter candy

He wanted the dueplex. FOr some reason we can only seem to find them in family Dollar.

@kaylachan I think that our Walmart has them.

I start at the ears, too, and work my way down. I like the decore on this one too. Almost too cute to eat.

@sharon6345 I try to get a bunny or something every year. My favorite were the cadbery eggs. My mom loved to share them with me.

@sharon6345 As it does for most people. Good thing it's only once a year.

LOL, it is new to me.

@DianneN Well.... how am I supposed to get them to you?..... You might have better luck popping to your local Family Dollar

@kaylachan I’m still waiting........

I try to once a year at least. Unless my husband surprises me with one.

It's right around the corner. I wasn't sure which of my parents would make mine, but it was always fun to find. I loved our annual easter egg hunt, too. My sister and brother-in-law would fill plastic Easter eggs with dollar amounts on them. After we found ten eggs each, we would trade in the eggs for the cash.

Me, too. I make it a point, or my husband makes it a point to treat me to an Easter treat once a year. Just so that I have some of that back.@CarolDM

@kaylachan I miss those days.

So was my mom.

@DocAndersen I know, and you know why? Because people will be drawn to them, most notably kids.

@kaylachan those things are bad news, and they don't have them in the candy aisle, oh no they are on the end cap!

@kaylachan Ah, I can understand that. I am short, and sometimes can't get stuff on the top shelves at the store, especially when the stock is way back of the shelves. I was thinking too that the cartons may have had egg shaped sidewalk chalk.

I'm thinking that's what they were. As I told Jim above, that I didn't wish to risk damaging the carton. So I didn't try to pull it down. Most of you who don't already know, I'm in a wheelchair and while the cartons were where I could see them I could barely reach them comfortably.

I enjoyed it just fine, thanks. Way too cute to eat, but it was small enough I was able to without issue.

@kaylachan Glad younwas able to with no issue

The world does make staying on a diet next to impossible. Every couple of months, it seems there's a new food-based holiday.

@xstitcher I get the same thing from my doctor. If you're one pound over what your weight should be for your age and height, they tend to freak out. I've been told I need to talk to a nutritionist, I need to exercises more I need to do more and more. I'm well aware of the health risks being overweight can cause, but at the same time, I also have Cerebral Palsy. I'm also in a manual wheelchair part-time. I also walk around my house. What a doctor fails to understand (because they aren't thought this in medical school) is that CP is like a fingerprint. I am more capable than some people in some areas, but less in others. My brain can't tell me if I'm working my muscles too hard. At the same time, some of that weight is muscle tone in my arms from pushing a wheelchair around. It's from over the years needing to find alternative methods to get dressed, brush my hair and get around on a really bad day. The person with CP muscles works three to five times harder than the average able-body person when they do day-to-day tasks. I don't sit on the couch for hours at a time because I'm lazy. I still play Pokemon go every single day. I cook dinner for my husband and myself almost every night. I lost some weight, sure. No, I can't get on their scale in the office. I do know that I am trying and If I lose, I lose. But, if I don't I'll be fine, too. That's just how life works. I am nowhere close to the people shown on shows like my 600-pound life, begging for surgical intervention because they let themselves go and now regret it. So, believe me I know what you're going through. I understand both sides of the coin. At the end of the day, the only way you'll lose is if you want it bad enough. The only way it's going to work is if you find a method that works for you, and you stick to it.

@kaylachan Isn't that the truth. Normally I wouldn't care if my doctor hadn't put me on this diet. They say I'm obese, and yet I look around and see people way fatter than me, and I'm guessing they're not on diets.

What's stopping you?

@kaylachan I don't know which brand to get.

I'm the oppsite. I love it. I'm not that picky when it comes to chocolate.

My husband was surprised by the size of the bunny I came home with. We normally get the large ones, but the small ones were all that was on display.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how the workers decide to stack the shelves. It's cool though, I was able to eat the smaller one in one sitting. Sometimes I don't want to eat them, because they are too cute looking.@jstory07

@kaylachan The large ones will be there soon.

I know it comes sooner and sooner each year it seems. Hard to believe it, actually.

@thelme55 I know. It'll be March 1 tomorrow.

@kaylachan Yes, it is hard to believe. Time really flies so fast.

I actually considered it. I did touch the carton, but I didn't know if I could afford it so I didn't want to risk damaging it. Otherwise, I would have.

@JimBo452020 If the eggs were in the fridge, and we were shopping at the store. My husband would have, too. But this carton wasn't a normal carton of eggs. While it looked like it, they were on the easter display at the front of the store where stuff is room temperature.

@kaylachan I always open eggs cartons to see that all the eggs are ok Don't want to be getting home and finding some broken

I honestly don't know. All I know, it's something I'm not used to seeing. The foil-covered chocolate eggs, sure. But not ones that feel like actual egg cartons you'd find in a fridge.

Not at my local family dollar.

Oh, I know. And, I love it.
