Somebody mention pickles?

That would be me (no like pickles).

I have an easier idea for @Gabe1 's issue with dying palm trees. She could go to a party store and buy plastic ones, and put them on her lawn outside! They're very low maintenance and won't die!

And while @Gabe1's at it, she can put these out, too:

 

[MinnieM123]

You can enjoy the heat too!

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear, I didn't realize you had a tastebud-impaired disability.

Oh my gosh! YES!! @Gabe1 , calling: GGAAAABBBBEEEEE !!!!!!!!! Catmom and I are pairing up as a design team and we are going to decorate your lawn with lovely plastic embellishments (remember, we'll get some of those plastic palm trees, too). Can we start this evening? (Our price is very reasonable, under $5,000 for the whole glorious upgrade.) Oh, Walt can come outside and watch us, too!

 

[MinnieM123]

Gotta say, that it's great having a few computer gurus, @Cesar R M and @StarWarsGirl95 , here in our midst.! I read all the computer conversations between the two of you and get completely lost, but that's o.k. It's just good to know that a few people out there can actually understand all the new upgrades!

Cesar's more of an expert than I am as he does this kind of thing for a living. In my case, it's just years and years of reading and teaching myself. Starting with that Windows ME for dummies book that I had to pull out on a regular basis. And years of playing and figuring stuff out. I might have majored in something IT-related except 1. Technology changes so fast that you are out-of-date pretty quickly, so I kind of felt like it might be a waste and 2. Too. Much. Math.

Works for me. I'm free this evening! We'll even throw in a pond and waterfall feature:

Yes, I'm a very picky eater. I also don't like chocolate-covered strawberries, Dole Whips, and fruit in my salads.

Math is my downfall as well, despite being Chinese, I am a very sad example of the stereotype.

I... I don't know what to say. That's not picky that's just plain insane!

Spoiler

You are, at least, an equal opportunity disliker. Sweet or sour!

Spoiler

To be honest I don't care that much for Dole Whips, however, a Dole Whip Float would need to be pried from my cold dead hands.

@donaldtoo , as others have guessed, I'm also saying that you're the boy in the front row with that "stylish" red shirt on!!!

Apparently, I'm the only one here who never had a class picture. I don't know why, but they never did that at my grammar school.

Hahaaa...!
For some silly reason, I thought it wouldn't be quite so obvious...!

We had a class pic taken from K-6, which was grammar school in the district we lived in in No Cal, at the time.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Body paints and effects? Sounds a bit risqué to me!

Far from it.

I took my niece for a walk today, it was beautiful weather. There was a nice bench along the river and we enjoyed the view for awhile.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I'm with you on this. I don't like pickles either!

 

[donaldtoo]

We don't have any Outbacks really near us anymore either, about an hour and 20 minute drive. We do have an Olive Garden within a half an hour. That is where hubby took me for date night on Saturday. Olive Garden has a new make your own tour of Italy with some fun choices.

We've got both an Outback and an Olive Garden about 5 min. away.
It's been a long time since we've been to either.
Oh my! Need to fix that...!

 

[donaldtoo]

You cant use the pool while it rains?

Reminds me about how we once spent a half day at Schlitterbahn entirely in soaking rain (no lightning), before they finally closed the park and gave us rain checks. They said that was the first time they ever had to do that, but, the threat of flooding and trapping people was getting to be a real possibility. Turns out they made the right call...it just kept raining, and there was some flooding.
But, it was cool while it lasted.
We were at a waterpark and gettin' wet anyway, and the combination of no sunburn to worry about and the rain falling the whole time was really cool...!

Math is my downfall as well, despite being Chinese, I am a very sad example of the stereotype.

I'm actually very good at math (other than Statistics, but that was partially a bad professor. Moving on...). I tutor in Accounting and got a perfect score on my accounting 2 final, and in high school, I tutored in math and always got As pretty easily.

I just really don't LIKE math and don't want to have to take any more than necessary.

 

[donaldtoo]

how did things go? sold stuff? more bbq's ? MORE COOKIES?

All of the above, plus a design deadline...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Unfortunately, we always go in the winter and I'm afraid that the glare from my pale legs will cause chaos in the Parks... Brings a new meaning to Blinded By The Light!

They also make cargo pants.
