But, you didn’t get us anything??

I would settle for the food He is doing ok. After awhile, he starts missing home and a regular day. And my cooking apparently

 

[93boomer]

He and his fellow crew members must be exhausted. Time to call in the reinforcements, and let those guys go home.

How many days to your vacation?

They are. I know, right? Hopefully they can get some more lines back up today. I am hoping that they leave tomorrow. But you never know. Just 6 more days!!

Could call it an oops or a bad night when Mickey's head falls off during Fantasmic.

Leaving for our first soccer game of the day.. it’s freezing!!! I have several layers on and a blanket to cover with on the sidelines.. tried to get T to wear his heat gear under his uniform. He takes my phone and clicks on the weather-

“Mom, it’s 60, not minus 60. I’m not dressing like I’m in the Arctic Circle.”

@MinnieM123 , get your warped brain out of my kid!!

Woke up to 55 here. I may have to put our winter comforter back on the bed today. Good luck to T today!

Ever since the straw debate came up recently, I kept thinking to myself, why can't people just drink out of the cup without a straw? (I realize there might be certain drinks, such as those with crushed ice, for example, that would need a plastic, not paper, straw.)

But I was thinking that at home, I never use straws. So even if you go out and buy a soda with ice, and there is a lid, why can't you just take off the lid and drink out of the cup?

I never really use straws either but I had ice coffee and the straw cut in half.


1. If your disabled or your one of those people who can't walk and drink at the same time.

2. They also use wayyyyy too much ice.

When you are sitting at a table it is easy to take off the lid. Walking around with a drink makes that hard and could be quite messy. Kids using cups without lids can be a nightmare. I think straws are necessary for the kids. When straws weren't available when my kids were little. I turned the coffee cups, with coffee cup lids into sippy cups. Wait, are they going to get rid of all cup lids as well? That would include the coffee cup lids. People could get potentially burned. Can, worms, open.

are they getting rid of the cups too that are made of plastic

Yes Blurg. But I did find 3 pairs of Jeans yesterday afternoon. I HATE jean shopping. Wish I could say I found all three quickly but at least by the time the Event was over, Some Garrett popcorn and Starbucks I left with jeans 'cause I likely would not have gone back for weeks. Hate it that much.

Don't laugh I found the perfect jeans, not too high or low a rise, just slightly boot cut, comes in a couple of colors at Walmart a couple of years ago now I can order them. If they discontinue them I'll be very mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW the first pair is still in good shape

No one is even mentioning the plastic water bottles. If you look at plastic waste, you’d think that would be the greatest amount. Or is there too much money in that market to touch?

First of all, I completely support your taking the car to the car wash. Second of all, it's all relative. We spend money on things or services that are best for us. He's spent money on many vacations, restaurant meals, etc., while other people might want to spend their money on other things. There's no right or wrong here--choices are individual. To each his/her own.

As you said it's relative. My dh and I do not pay or do car washing

My aunt is in Chicago this weekend, so I told her not to forget to get some Garrett's popcorn. She texted me a picture of the bag last night...ooo I'm so jealous!

Garrett's chicago mix is best hot... with caramel corn, and cheesy butter popcorn all mixed together.... it's messy as all get out... lots of napkins given... but that extra buttery cheese that gets all over the caramel corn when mixed together.... oh man!
