Speaking of cheese . . .

Yesterday, I borrowed the camera from hubby. Tried to get pix of my dog, who doesn't stand still for more than 1 second. I kept getting pix of his back paws or tail while he was running away from the camera. So I tried to bait him with cheese; but every time I'd try to take the picture, he'd jump up and grab the cheese right out of my hand, and run with it!!)

Finally, after going through about 1/2 package of cheese to lure him toward the camera, I got a picture. I told him to "sit" in my "serious" voice. He looked perturbed that he actually had to "sit" for cheese. I tried to get a friendlier looking picture, but he wasn't having any part of that . . . (He's really much cuter in person, and sorry I couldn't get a nicer picture to share.) Note: If you click on the picture, it gets a bit larger. Hubby uploaded the picture for me.

Dang he is cute. Guessing he knows it too.

Conversation with my dad
Dad: You want pasta or hamburgers for dinner?
Me: Pasta. I don't feel like cleaning the indoor grill.
Dad: You wouldn't have to if we did them outside
Me: It's too cold to do them outside
Dad: Not if you're a real man like me.

Well did he grill outdoors?

 

[StarWarsGirl]

yup, every moment in life has been either covered in Seinfeld or the Office.

Or Big Bang Theory

Nope. I wanted pasta, and Mom's had a stomach virus, so she didn't want burgers, so we had pasta. She had it with just some butter.

Oh, you MUST start a thread on this up in N&R !!! What a great idea you have!!!

I wouldn't know how to phrase it.

 

[Gabe1]

They should put the mechanical shark from the Universal Jaws ride in that water to punish them from taking our view!

Ha!

I'm not familiar with this. I'm curious.

My DD and I saw those shaped mugs in the Disney Outlet and wondered how they'd fit in the dishwasher.

They fit nicely and I haven't broken the beak off yet. (knock on wood). Food does get in the beak since it's hollow but otherwise it's like any mug.

 

[seahawk7]

Ha!

Wow, that is awesome.

Brampton is home to a quarter of a million Indo-Canadians, so yeah.
On a totally related note, Brampton also has the highest insurance rates (BY FAR!) of any city in the province. Infer from that what you will.

that indo canadians somehow destroy their homes or cars?
I am unsure why it would be highest insurance rates.

SCIENCE!!!

 

[Gabe1]

Yes. Good ideas!

Well this birthday, for the adults I am busting out my jimmy buffet margaritaville margarita maker. And if you have ever played the game cornholes, we will have that setup in the backyard as well. And of course some good beer selections.

Oh yeah. And the kids will have stuff to do as well.

Yep, adults seem to act like little kids at children's Birthday parties. Grandma broke her arm playing badminton at my DS Birthday party years back.

I see your dilemma. On your next trip to WDW, eat at the Spirit of Aloha show and get a picture with one of the cute fire eaters or dancers.

Then put that bad boy on the fridge.

Or go down to the pool or waterpark and have a photo op with a lifeguard.

They are BAD drivers. Worse than the other racial stereotypically bad driver.
Insurance companies make you pay for living/driving there.

Because I bounce all over Brampton, Mississauga, Thornhill etc., my broker lists my place of employment as our Head Office address in Vaughan; else wise I too would be paying out the wazoo for the privilege of driving in Brampton.

My DD has always been very thin and jeans that would stay up given her height were difficult to find. JCPennys always carried slim jeans but very few in number. I would take her jean shopping in the Middle of August when the school clothes were all out and buy a weeks worth of jeans. Done.

You buy jeans every week? Are they disposable? Or is the washing machine broken?

I do like a tan.
Sadly, Irish Hubby with his black hair, hazel eyes, and fair skin, doesn't really tan all that well.

(If he stays out in the sun long enough, eventually his body freckles all run together; so there is that.)

Orioles vs Jays - Channel 22. Just starting.
Who's in? @StarWarsGirl95?

I was wondering how this was possible as my iPod just told me that the Orioles are leading the Twins. Then I looked on the MLB app. Two games at once.

So we could both win and lose today...at the same time...

What is it about changing bed sheets that makes cats go absolutely nuts?

Or ... you could lose both games, as the Jays' split squads did yesterday.

It's a good game for me to watch, as this is quite likely our opening day line-up.
Clearly not the same for you.
