Keep telling yourself that... won't make it true. I don't drink coffee but I do like coffee ice cream. Those things don't even taste like coffee at all, in my mind. But, you guys like them, so who am I to argue. Just leave them out of my Christmas stocking, if you don't mind.

Yes...I will admit it's not an overwhelming coffee flavour. They are quite mild. But there is a difference between them and a Kit Kat for sure. So they aren't just plain chocolate.

That would be because the U.S. twisted it's meaning so that everyone thinks of the U.S. when the word American is uttered. But you really can't blame us because "United States" is neither a glamorous name nor does it roll off the tongue easily. So, when you come on down... Welcome to America. We will gladly take your money. In fact we rely on @JenniferS to make regular donations to help balance our budget. She might even get a medal from Congress.

We won't even mention that you cannot be welcomed to a place that you already reside in. We are that kind of big hearted people.

But even if 'Merica didn't claim the title as their own, there would still be a distinction between North Americans and South Americans. After all, we are different continents. We, Canadians, are pretty proud of the North part. It connotes hockey, igloos and Tim Hortons.

I wouldn't call myself a Disney nerd, Star Wars yes. I just liked that Mickey pic.

Oh. My bad. As a Disney nerd, I am overly excited at the thought of other Disney nerds existing.

I have a dual controlled Sunbeam mattress heater.
Love it!!!!

Check Costco.ca for the best price.
$134.99 for Queen.
This is the Ontario price. May be different in your specific province.

Unfortunately, I don't do Costco. Looks nice though.

So it's my favourite time of year - Girl Guide chocolate mint cookies season! Almost through box number 1. lol

Yep, I have to agree with you.

I just never developed a taste for coffee nor coffee flavored anything.

Same here. No coffee flavored anything for me.

I'm not a fan of those custard-ie things. Actually I'm not a fan of Italian desserts from Tiramisu, custards to Gelato.

Now these lovely things From Via Napoli are the exception. And for those who care, the Olive Garden now has their own versions of these that genuinely rival Via Napoli's on their dessert menu.

Yes please!!!

My dad's mother was also Blackfoot and have always said Native American.

Yep, same in my ex's family.

I love that ride I have a few more pictures that I would like to share, I hope no one minds if I repeat some, I just can't remember what I posted.

I won't mind.

You people are making me fat. Thanks to our whole Coffee Crisp discussion, I went out and bought one of those Halloween boxes of mini-chocolate bars that @JenniferS posted earlier.

We saw more bench's especially at Food and Wine in Epcot, and a few more in Magic Kingdom, maybe Disney is listening to those who aren't so young anymore. At least I hope it wasn't just for Food and Wine.

I love Disney benches!

That sounds nice and toasty. I'm absolutely freezing and will be until May. Maybe I should get one of those electric blankets.

I love my electric blanket. Hubby prefers to be cooler when he sleeps so we have a dual control king size electric blanket. I use mine constantly in the winter, I don't think he has ever turned on his side of the controls!

The Blackfoot are in Canada and America (although most of the Nations don't recognize the border) so that would make sense to me as that is the term that is used in the States, no? (My knowledge is fairly limited to Aboriginal issues in Canada.)

My father-in-law's family are from Montana.

Coffee Crisp, KitKat, and Smarties - 60 calories each. Aero - just 40.
One of each ... about 220 calories.

It's all good to be gaga over Disney. I still love it but over the years I've taken the blinders off some. I'll still go to WDW and have a great time.

This entire site is filled with us!

I just got Yoshi's Woolly World for Wii U. I really hope it's good!

I love bread and butter too! Any kind of bread, and real butter. That was one of the things I missed at AoA , they changed from having real butter available to smart blend. Those plant sterols are really bad for your joints. I was feeling the effects by the end of the trip. No more of that for me!

Yah, bread and butter is awesome! What really surprised me was the changeover to Smart Blend. yuck . . . But more to the point, I didn't have a clue that the sterols are bad for your joints. That's good to know.

Bulletin!! Hubby just called for me to go downstairs, and he was standing at the front door with it open. He said, "Look!" OMG--it was SNOWING!!!!!! Wow! What a great day so far!! It was so weird -- the sun was out, the sky was dark gray and it was snowing!! HA! He was all freaked out, but I thought it was wonderful. Anyway, it just stopped a few minutes after it started, but what an unexpected treat on October 18th!
