That makes sense.

Sorry MOXOMUMD, the bump is kind of making more looney than usual. I hope I didn't intrude. I'm a klutz on the computer at times. My apologizes.

I'm originally from the New Orleans area. I grew up on the Westbank and moved to Mississippi in 2005. Until recently we were living in Picayune which was about an hour away from New Orleans. Unfortunately we just moved further east closer to Mobile.

I haven't had the Dill flavored. I guess I'll have to give them a try.

Yes you definately have to give them a try! DH loves them! Also the sweet creole onion flavor is good as well. We actually had those believe it or not in DC for the first time and did not find them down here (Lafayette, LA) until about a year or so later!! Crazy that DC had them a while before we got them in the state they are made! Lol.

Does anyone have a good weather forecaster? Ours say's it's sunny when we look out the window and it's raining.

Well I dunno, but its lovely here.. patchy sky with a lot of sun.

I love dill, made into a potato flavor chip sounds wonderful. You wouldn't have to put dill pickles on your burger, just eat chips along side.

Yes if you can find them they are my DH's fave right now.

I didn't know these existed! Great planes. I might change my mind about airline travel, if this was my "wings".

speaking of these planes. I remember one airline even had Captain Mickey receive the travelers.. was it SouthWest?

Works out well for your daughter if she decides to go to college. Lots of scholarships out there for those of Native American descent (and since she's 1/4, that should be enough).

Mom made us deny our link to the Blackfoot, we lived in a very bigoted community. During the 40's and 50's. I graduated in the 60's, wasn't much of an issue then. But, Mom looked out for us kids. Poor daddy , I know it hurt him. Such is life.

Yikes.

My family has never denied it. They are proud to have those roots. And my grandmother was older than you! (she died several years ago).

Thanks! I'm glad to be here! I found out about this a few weeks ago and it's a breath of fresh air from the regular threads! Lol

@MOXOMUMD is one of the sweetest members on here; I'm sure she understands.

Yes, N&R can be more that a little nasty at times. But in this thread, everyone is nice. If it weren't for this thread, I would not come here nearly as much

kinda hard to see, blurry! D:
its raining a lot there gabe?

It was a white sheet. A tad difficult to take a very quick photo when 4 inches of rain fall in 45 minutes.

 

[Gabe1]

I'm really sorry, I love parades. I hope you can have it before the storms. Just stay out of lightning!

Still kickn

Or, you could put dill pickles on your burger, AND eat dill chips on the side!

I edited this post, and then I decided to remove it because I'm fickle, you know. Since we can't "delete" our posts in Chit Chat (still can't figure out why), I had to type up this long boring explanation of why I don't have anything to say in this post.

A smiley face would do too.

And they say us old people are not keeping up with technology. I know many much younger people that are afraid to use the internet for stuff like that. So far, knock on wood, I have really not had any problem at all. Heck, I still know some that are 15 to 20 years younger then myself, that still go to the bank and get their stash of cash for the week. Seems like a huge waste of energy to me.

My rent is my only automatic withdrawal. The rest is done on line, but, I make the decision when it is going to happen. I also want to see the numbers before they just fly out of my account. I'm a little **** (I think they want me to say, up tight) about it as well. I keep every receipt from using my CC or my DC. I match it against bank withdrawals and charges on my online statement. Those balances I check pretty much daily, but, not less then two days apart.

I like writing out checks for the bills and mailing them. I also like going to the bank for cash, although I use the ATM for that.

However . . . I have been known to also go inside the bank on a Saturday morning, and do a (smaller) cash withdrawal (for my weekly moolah) with one of the tellers; because inside the bank on a side table, they have lollipops! (Dum Dums! O.k. I'm waiting for the silly comments here . . . ) I always grab either a cherry one or a grape one. (Sometimes, I've been known to grab 2, when I think they're not really watching me . . . )

It will get even worse for real cash.
Considering that cell phones can now generate codes and special codebars (to scan in stores to pay instantly).
Id say Credit cards arent even need now!

I like credit cards and I like cash, too. I don't like phones. (Think I'll just retreat to the jungle now . . . )
