You are king of the smilies.

@seahawk7 , have you finalized your dinner dining plans for your vacation yet? I know you put a lot of effort into that and was just wondering if it was done, and if you got everything you wanted. (I know your son wasn't in favor of Hoop De Doo as one of the options.) What is your favorite restaurant in the group that you selected?

 

[MinnieM123]

@donaldtoo is a happy guy! Smiles are always better than frowns.

@StarWarsGirl95 , did you do anything fun on your birthday today?

Also, you must be feeling a bit better today as the situation in your city seems to be somewhat calming down now. I saw on the news, that volunteers were out on the streets to help out with the clean-up efforts. That was positive.

Well, I'm not a scientist, so I don't know. What I can tell you is that it's sold in all of our stores here now. Some years ago, no one ever heard of it.

Eat enough apple seeds and they will kill ya, Rosary Pea are deadly, Oleander is so pretty but very toxic, Daffodil bulbs will make you go numb, Doll eyes act like a sedative and relax heart muscles so they don't do what they should, or another favorite Hemlock paralyzing your central nervous system.

I'll still take my chances with natural foods over eating chemicals though.

You mean they're just Figments of our Imaginations?

Nope, they hang with Big Foot.

This reminds me of back when I was in the first grade. The nun was telling us about the story of St. Bernadette of Lourdes. She mentioned that Bernadette was just a young child, only 14, when she saw the vision of the Blessed Mother. I remember looking at the nun like she was crazy; to a six-year-old, someone 14 is OLD!!!

When I was a 6 year old Catholic Girl I just looked forward to wearing skirts instead of those silly jumpers they made us wear. Some Private School gals these days even have pants and shorts with their uniforms.

 

[Gabe1]

Did you mean Canton?

Canton is the shipyard. Camden Yards is the ballpark.

Ha! Yes and South Jersey Port being Camden.

So I'm reading along, and trying to give some likes here, and all of a sudden I'm getting that "500 Internal Server Error" message.

Now, I can do some likes again. This site has been wonky since this morning.

I've been getting it a few times too! I see by the posts that followed yours we are not alone.

We had to wear jumpers through sixth grade. For grades 7 & 8 (my school stopped at 8th grade), we had skirts and vests, and still wore those same white blouses that we wore with the jumpers. Whether it was the jumper or the suit/vest combo, we also all had to wear those dorky (clip-on) bow ties with the long ends. The nuns had this thing about what color tie "their class" would wear. So you'd see all these kids in the same uniforms, but with different colored ties, depending upon which nun taught you that year.

When I got to the 9th grade, I was able to go to public school; and I was a kid in a candy store, being able to wear fashionable clothes to school for the first time!!! I hated uniforms!

I use to fly in one of those itsybitsy planes from Memphis to Oxford MS every week, one seat on each side of the plane, maybe 9 or 10 seats. It was so loud. I learned to take my runway earmuffs with me. We called them puddle jumpers because they would bounce around on the wet runways sometimes.

We call those cropdusters. Too small for me.

I love small aircraft--you really "feel" like you're flying. The larger aircraft have been designed for a smoother ride; but it can get boring up at altitude, when you feel like you're at home sitting on a sofa in the livingroom, versus feeling the current of the winds aloft, as in a smaller aircraft.

If you are getting just the taste of water colored brown you are not making the coffee or tea correctly.

Exactly. If I make sun tea I leave the jug outside most of the day so it's nice and strong.

At Newsies opening night in Dallas!!

Carrying the banner!

Haha.

I like Charleston, it's a beautiful city, my aunt lives there and I applied to College of Charleston, but I don't think I would want to live there. After living near Baltimore and being able to go down to the city and see a baseball or football game, go to a show, wander the Inner Harbor, etc., there just doesn't seem like there's enough to do in Charleston.

Which is partially why I'm thinking Orlando if I move South. Nice big city with plenty to do. Don't want to be directly in the city, but want to be 30 minutes to an hour away. Tampa or Jacksonville would also be fine if I don't end up working for Disney, but Orlando is my first choice.

That's cool--sun tea. I never heard of that before. How very Mother Earth of you!

Now Bigfoot, I believe in!

My niece goes to a Private School in Ohio. KP-4 no uniform but some tight restrictions on type of clothing and dress shoes. Middle School 5-8 they put them in uniforms and high school they could pretty much wear what they wanted. Go figure same school KP-12.

How would you like to walk this staircase multiple times a day. Oy

I do like the daylight shining in there, however. The brightness is really pleasant.

There was a retirement reception (mid-afternoon) for a colleague at work. I love hors d'oeuvres, and I had teriyaki beef on skewers, baked chicken, rice, salad, a few mushroom raviolis, a small roll and butter, and a mini-pastry for dessert. Oh, by the way--this was after I had gone to lunch! HA!
