@figmentfan423 I finally tried out the new pellet grill today. Go ahead and tell your husband he does not want one after all. It makes the whole process way too easy, food too tasty, tender and moist. Where is the fun in that?

My wife's youngest brother came by this evening to show me his new-to-him motorcycle...Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Nice ride in really good condition and low miles.

[StarWarsGirl]

People where I live in very south and central PA have southern type accents. I never understood why.

Oh lordy. Some of the phrases come out of my PA relatives' mouths...

My favorite is "Bein' as". "Bein' as you already bought that..." Uh... Or "Don't you just hate them things?" I what?

And the thing is that a few hours south in Maryland, we do not talk like we're from the south. Except for the occasional "y'all".

So @epcotisbest is related to your DH and I am related to James. Got it.

I am in Georgia where we are having two election run offs. Constant political ads. Will be so glad when those are over. One party is running on fear and lies, which I guess is all they got.

Driving up through PA to go to Hershey, there were political billboards EVERYWHERE. It was so much worse than in Maryland. You crossed the border....BAM. Political ads.

I told my mom after the election, "Oh good. No more political billboards."

They all had changed to Christmas ads.

We are still dealing with election protesters jumping into 6 lane road intersections with political signage. 8 police cars, 16 officers per intersection and Illinois numbers have never been questioned. Oy.

My DD birthday was as anticlimactic but not as much as the rest of ours. Her firm is the sponsor for multiple
Zoos and arboretums. On her Birthday there was a pre
Opening sponsor night. Normally a walk through every year. We are members but the preview was awesome cause she got a special safe Outing on her Birthday as this year it was a drive through. I hope they change this permanently. The years we have gone it
Is cold and blustery. So much better and more people per hour. Win Win for Arboretum.


My photographer skills lack especially from a moving SUV. It Was brilliant

Some people do not have to go to MK Fantasyland to experience their wildest dreams. They are living it in their own areas.

Is that at the Morton Arb? We went there when we visit the in-laws in Feb. the lights weren’t up but we saw some info about the winter lights and we thought about going this year when we visited at Christmas but now we might not be going down this year so we didn’t try to get tickets.
Happy. Birthday to your daughter!

Then there is this:

Got a chuckle out of that, but it was more due to actors trying to copy the accent. They got some of it right, but over-emphasized certain words that we never do here. And, one guy attempted to say car (pronouncing the "r" at the end). In that case, he was flat out wrong -- everyone who lives here knows it's "cah".

This would have been better to post yesterday, but it is so cute.

Haven’t heard those phrases, yet. Sounds more like what I would have heard in NYC. Brooklynese or something.

Is that the Ooni? I looked at an Ooni but was afraid we would not use it enough.

Good luck to you in GA. Sounds like a mess down there. Not that PA is any better, mind you.

So @epcotisbest is related to your DH and I am related to James. Got it.

My dh and @epcotisbest even have matching bikes and we all know what you've done to James without much effort
