Whats the first thing you do when you get to the states..... after the airport and check in obviously :ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

The first thing i do is find the nearest Walgreen's and go crazy buying all the products you cant get here in Ireland and stocking up on everything that is a lot cheaper. the phrase kid in candy store comes to mind :lol: :lol:

Then its on to Dun-kin Doughnuts.... to Gorge

I do this every year within an hour of arriving

My Disney thing is i always have to visit MK first, i refuse to go anywhere else till ive seen ''My Castle''

sometimes i wonder if the Americans realise hoe lucky they are :p:p


First off, I guess I never gave thought to whether or not y'all have the same stuff in stores over in Ireland. That's interesting. I could kiss you for that last statement. Kids just don't learn in school to not take for granted the fact that they are American like they used to when I was growing up.


Switch the radio to Magic and listed to Delilah...:eek:


Oh no. Seriously??? There are so many better radio programs to listen to. I always get the feeling she's insincere by how the sappy level reaches total overkill levels. We generally get a few yucks over some of the winners that call in. LOL!


The earliest known recorded usage of the term dates an 1808 short story[5] describing a spread of "fire-cakes and dough-nuts." Washington Irving's reference to "doughnuts" in 1809 in his History of New York is more commonly cited as the first written recording of the term. Irving described "balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog's fat, and called doughnuts, or olykoeks."[6] These "nuts" of fried dough might now be called doughnut holes. Doughnut is the more traditional spelling, and still dominates outside the US. At present, doughnut and the shortened form donut are both pervasive in American English. The first known printed use of donut was in Peck's Bad Boy and his Pa by George W. Peck, published in 1900, in which a character is quoted as saying, "Pa said he guessed he hadn't got much appetite, and he would just drink a cup of coffee and eat a donut."[7] The donut spelling also showed up in a Los Angeles Times article dated August 10, 1929 in which Bailey Millard jokingly complains about the decline of spelling, and that he "can't swallow the 'wel-dun donut' nor the ever so 'gud bred'. The interchangeability of the two spellings can be found in a series of "National Donut Week" articles in The New York Times that covered the 1939 World's Fair. In four articles beginning October 9, two mention the donut spelling. Dunkin' Donuts, which was founded in 1948 under the name Open Kettle (Quincy, Massachusetts), is the oldest surviving company to use the donut variation, but the defunct Mayflower Donut Corporation is the first company to use that spelling, prior to World War II.

D-O-U-G-H-N-U-T was the original spelling, even in the use. D-O-N-U-T was a joking misspelling aimed at lower, uneducated people. DunkinDonuts decided to use that variation. But DOUGHNUT is the original and still more commonly used spelling WORLDWIDE, including the U.S.

It is doughnut, L.A.

You ought to try Krispy Kremes. Those DOUGHNUTS are worth killing for ;) especially if they're serving HOT.


Um...yeah!!! You totally just said what I was thinking! KK are da bomb! Hot-n-fresh are the best. The traditional glazed will make your eyes roll back in your head...ooohhh...but the chocolate covered cream filled are my nemesis. Those babies make my toes curl they're so heavenly. In fact, I found my sugar threshold when I was 16 when I sat down & ate a half dozen. I stood up & promptly passed out. :lol:


But, you DO eat DOnuts.


I eat DOUGHnuts as in DOUGH. I DO not believe I'd enjoy DOnuts as in dog DO (doo). :lol:

First thing I do is smack the kid behind me who's been kicking my seat for the past nine hours. Then onto arguing with immigration, saying 'no' a lot of times at the car rental desk, then go to the supermarket for essentials.

Hee hee.

I suppose the first thing I do is different every time!
