Moving on to read on my new mystery novel, it's cloudy and damp here today. A nice time to cozy up with a good murder lol.

What is the name of your book? I enjoy some mystery books, I like Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter's books too.

I haven't mentioned this yet, because I didn't want to jinx it, but I am absolutely busting!
It looks like two of the three kidlets may be moving out. Not the same two as before.

Son #1 - the most miserable, bi-polar, car-wrecking SOB in the Universe says he's leaving as soon as school is over. This means Hubby and I will have the entire upstairs to ourselves!
He says I make him crazy with my controlling ways and he has to get as far away from me as possible.
Ummmm ... DITTO!
I will still encourage him to get that counselling that he mentioned.
He asked if I could front him $400 for each of the first two months. Truth is - I would give him $400 a month for the rest of his life if it meant he were happier, living in his own place, not berating me every day.
Honestly, there are only so many times a day I can hear, "I hate you ... Your mother died just to get away from you ... You are the worst person in the world ...."

Adopted Son is getting his own place, with my nephew and another guy.
There's an apartment that will give you the MUNCHIES every time you walk in the hallway.

This will give me my bottom basement back for storage. I need to get some order back in my life, I have been so stressed with all the carp everywhere!
Plus, he always has two or three friends over. None of them are bad kids ... it's just that they are ALWAYS over.

This will leave just Son #2. His anxiety level should plummet. I will yell less. He will yell back less.

Maybe, just maybe, this will work out this time.
Please Lord.

Otherwise I'm moving! Seriously.

Good luck, hopefully you will have some peace soon!

I have an old fashioned name, been in my family for years. My great grandmother on my mother's side said Betty should never disappear from the family tree. So, I have that name.....but it is disappearing , and that's fine with me....

One of my 8th graders that I teach has the first name of Betty. She is a cutie pie, the name suits her. Speaking of old fashioned names, I also have a Nancy one of my classes. Whenever I call on her I always think of Nancy Drew for some reason.

At least the kid will never go to a public school. Charlotte....barf. Old fashion name.

I take it you're not a NASCAR fan?

Do you know my mother sounded (we called her mother, my sis and I when we were annoyed with her,because she hated that) just like that wah wah wah, of course we were ignoring her...those good ol' teenage years. And my mother always said, raising a boy was much easier than girls.

To this day, my mother (don't ever really remember my pop chiming in on this - yet) swears that myself and my 2 younger brothers, put together, were easier to raise than our younger sister.
The first time this ever came up, I asked about all the trouble us boys got into and how our baby sis was the model child, so how could that be...? Her response: "It's just all the extra 'things' that go along with raising a girl."

I don't like both the Prime Time and Sci Fi. I don't mind Melrose's but it's not the best.

Why don't you like them?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Busted!

Just you wait, Peeps.
When I get home to a wifi connection, I have food pics.

Did we go to Five Guys?

Here's a hint:

From our local Catfish Parlour...!

Looks yummy. I like mine thin and crispy.

Now I can't stop singing that song.

 

[donaldtoo]

Ha! You and @donaldtoo . He and I have had this discussion of bottomfeeders for years and years. He will continue to eat those swamp things I will continue to be repulsed.

And this will not be the last time you see this great debate, it's a thing.

 

[seahawk7]

Oh thank you for the reminder. I tried very hard to get that last trip, with zero luck.
Maybe this year will be different. Might have to jiggle things a bit. Not sure if I have a spare evening.

If you do go please take food pics as if I had to ask.

 

[seahawk7]

Yes to everything @englanddg told you.
Yes, we can still customize. No, they do not ship.

Hey yours are better than mine since they are not upside down!

 

[seahawk7]

Many years ago I had lunch there and I loved it. It was an uplifting atmosphere, and the rotation was really cool, too. The food was very good, and I recall that some of the veggies were from the greenhouse in The Land.

Please plug your ears @JenniferS--- the tomatoes in the salad are like candy, they are so sweet and yummy.

 

[seahawk7]

Someone asked me to make that BAH vid...

It isn't the best work I've done (by far) but for less than an hours work, I'lll stand by it!

I liked it a lot. Good job.

I'm am beyond happy that the first part of her name was not Diana. 3rd name a nice tribute.

Reminds me some of the jokes about names online.

There was an edit from BBC that called the baby "Consuela Banana Hammock"

I would have recommended some amazing names from "Idiocracy".

like President Camacho, whose full name is "Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho"

 

[seahawk7]

We have never eaten at Mama Melrose and were thinking about doing it this year. What was your experience there?

We always like Mama Melrose, we do it every trip. I have heard, however that some people had less than good experiences.

 

[Cesar R M]

When I had lunch there, Chip and Dale came by quite often, and would sit with me at my table, and we'd all color pictures of Mickey and the gang! They must have thought I looked like an adult with special needs.

Pretty sure the majority of ADULTS look exactly what you described while at Disney
I swear that after I returned from Disney (my first trip).. my jaw was sore for smiling so much.

It's official. Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

I like it. They wisely honored the Queen while honoring Princess Diana. And I like the name Charlotte. It's going to be cute watching her big brother try to pronounce it.
