thats problably why, We did grow with TopCat and the Flintstones more than Charlie Brown.
There was also a very funny political cartoon aimed for everyone, named MAFALDA.

Oh yea, lots of Hanna-Barbera, as well.
Top Cat, Flintstone's, Jetson's, etc., etc., etc..

Does anyone do oyster stuffing? I never had it until a few years ago and I have never actually made it myself but it is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Every year, hubby and I go out for this candlelit Victorian Christmas dinner at the historic village nearby and it is a wonderful evening but honestly, I dream about the oyster stuffing and that's a large part of why I go back each year.

Have never made it, but, have had it before. So amazingly good...!
Sadly, I'm the only one in my house that loves oysters...raw, fried, and everything in between. I may just have to start making the oyster stuffing for myself.

So I tend to avoid Black Friday, as I despise crowds. However, we have a Petsmart in our area, and it's a stand-alone store (not in any kind of shopping mall). I saw that they had my dog's (24-pound bag of dog food) on sale, so I went over there this morning. Well, not only did I get that sale price, but the employee inside handed me a $5.00 coupon off anything in the store, just for today! All in all, I saved $13.00!!!

Meanwhile, I haven't gotten any gifts for the "people" on my Christmas list yet . . . (Actually, I did buy a gift for my sister about 2 weeks ago, but that's all I've bought so far.)

I worked. It was absolutely dead but yet I was still semi-busy. On the plus side...no traffic. I don't work in a mall/store area.

There is a trend with me lately that I buy more this time a year then the rest of the year. I hardly spend anything clothes, electronics etc in the first 3/4 of the year.

@donaldtoo , please tell your wonderful Pops that I hope he has a very nice Thanksgiving Day, and that all of your chummies here on Chit Chat are happy he's recovered so well from his surgery.

So very sweet of you Minnie!
Sorry I'm so late, and so far behind.
He is doing awesome...!
Both my mom and pop are just awesome people. It will be hard to lose them someday. But, then again, I could go before them.
Life's a carp shoot.

Ok after watching 99% off the parade now I don't know what people are talking about when you say the singing was bad. All the music was prerecorded as far as I can tell so it's CD quality. Do you just mean you don't enjoy musicals?

Most of the singers I saw were pop or country, and not that I don't like that genre of music, I just didn't like those "artists".

I thinks it is more of a sub-conscience prodding more than anything. It tracks steps, miles, flights of stairs, calories burned, and sleep patterns. It syncs to a smart phone or computer to give day to day comparisons and you can track food and water intake if you really want to go all in. You can also set up a network with your friends where you can see your exercise ranking against how they are doing. I have three total and I'm in last place... Desk work will do that to you, but my weekends are stellar!

the network thing is creepy D:

They just taste like cheese because...they are.

its the process and sour cream part that doesnt make me like it.
if its dripping stuff, im out!

 

[Cesar R M]

Sympathy like. I'm pretty excited for tomorrow, it is supposed to be sunny. Haven't seen the sun in a few days.

I'm ok with cloudy days, rainytoo, but not when it goes and goes and goes and goes..

 

[Cesar R M]

I also ordered something from Amazon just 2 nights before Thanksgiving. It arrived on my porch today! I'm surprised because I just paid for the regular, standard shipping--not express or anything.

I think a lot of products are giving free 2 days shipping once you get past a certain amount of money.

I am glad you got to try it and that you enjoyed it. It really is one of the best things I have ever eaten.

Ok well that makes sense. Maybe people are just meaning they don't like the type of music and not that it was performed badly. I didn't know a lot of the popular artists personally but I thought the music was fun and added to a festive feel, especially the seasonal songs. And I really loved the musicals and marching bands.

Fantastic pics, Cesar...!

thank you!
hopefully when the clouds shoo away, I will take more pictures.

Oh no. These cheese curds aren't like that. They resemble little pieces of mozzarella cheese but are saltier and maybe just a little firmer. They are cooked too.

With the Canadian Amazon, you have to be a Prime member to get the free 2 day shipping. Everyone else gets free standard shipping after you spend $25 or more and can upgrade to 2 day for a fee. I am not a Prime member and never upgrade. I find it still always comes in 2 days. (Can you tell that Amazon is my go-to store?)

OHHHH MY!!!!!

I love that line! That and "You Know, I was starting to think wishing on stars was for babies and crazy people."

I don't do Black Friday shopping either anymore. Although I did go into Walmart today around 11am, just to kill some time before we went to see the Good Dinosaur (the animation is amazing by the way). The store wasn't too crowded but more than normal and we didn't stay long. Good deal on your Petsmart outing, I'm sure Jack appreciates it!

I upgraded this year on a trial basis because a couple of items were cheaper if I was a prime member. I already had enough ordered to get the free delivery. I don't even know how much it is going to cost yet. I probably will just cancel it anyway. I only use it about three times a year.
