The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[MinnieM123]

I think that was it. I went in and saw that there was a checkmark next to the "alert on any thread that you commented on." Not sure what that means, but, it did seem to stop it when I unchecked it. We'll see. It kinda hurt my ego though because I was thinking that I was real popular for a minute and it was in threads where the quoter wasn't trying to inform me of just how stupid I apparently am!

Never mind what the Alerts say or don't say. I'm here to tell you outright, that you are VERY popular!!

How fun. Enjoy yourself.

There were a couple skills I made sure my kids learned. Swimming was one of these for safety reasons, Golf was another for future social/business events. Golf is one of those sports that enters the business world, social clubs and charity events. I thought when they were young they needed to learn. My DS loves Golf. DD not so much which is really an understatement.

Not to brag, but I can play miniature golf. All the movers and shakers are there. Just sayin . . .

Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies.

Oh, I LOVE those cookies!!! And they make me think of Christmas. For some odd reason, I always see them around Christmas, and not during the rest of the year. I hate it when they put out something delicious like Snickerdoodles for only a brief period of time. Idiots.

Yes, I too loved my brand new '85, 5 liter, 5-speed manual, Mustang GT.
May she rest in peace.

Condolence on your Mustang GT. Question: Why is it that men refer to cars and ships as "she"??

 

[MinnieM123]

You have got to stop that! How much is Minnie paying you to publish those?

Not as much as you're paying her to post the tropical heat pictures!

7 days until July 4th.

Great photo (again .. .)! I was thinking that this one would make a really nice Disney pin--lots of detail that I think would pop with color.

Good what ever the heck time it is. The neighbors kids are up and their parents are away! Guess who's having a party? The parent's own a house about a block away from me and it's an investment property, they're hardly ever there (snowbirds). When they are up here they use it as a base of operations to visit friends and family. My neighbor went over to complain about the brats a few times and got "boys will be boys and it's not like they're doing drugs" Not so sure about the last part and some people have to work for a living. My neighbors and I don't want to call the police but it seems over the past few summers we're getting sick and tired of the frat boys thinking they own the world. Rant over!

In a heartbeat, I'd call the cops to complain about them.

I didn't used to either until I tried Kona coffee (in Hawaii no less!).

Real Kona and also Jamaican Blue Mountain are both coffees made in heaven . . . Both are extremely difficult to obtain up here and when those rare occasions happen, the price is beyond unreasonable.

Thank you... what a nice thing to say. I think my eyes are getting a little misty!

Because they are temperamental and have to be showered with constant attention in order to work right. You asked!!!

Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies.

Mine too, they go stale very quickly due to our dryness. Chips, practically last forever. (If only I wouldn't eat them all!)

 

[betty rose]

Me, too! That's why I love Disney vacations. No cooking, cleaning, or driving!

Yes, it's been destination vacations for us, for several years. Hubby loves the no driving. He can actually enjoy the bus ride, and not have to concentrate on driving. That makes me happy too!

 

[betty rose]

Yet another Half-day Friday...!!!!!

So happy for ya! I hope you did something fun. Or relaxing!

 

[betty rose]

Hahaaa...! Not yet!
Like we did, oldest DD and hubby are waiting to buy a house before they start a family. They're probably about a year or so away from the home purchase.
After that, it may not be long before we hear the pitter-patter of grandkiddos feet...!!!

Grandkids will be one of the best times of your life. They compensate for getting older!

 

[betty rose]

I was like that almost my whole life. Now to have a treat I have a few of these. All the difference in the world.....

Didn't work for me, at maximum dosage. Just prolonged the inevitable.

 

[betty rose]

I love longer vacations! I'd rather go every 2 or 3 years and have a nice relaxing time to see and do everything than have one week a year and rush and miss stuff. Next year my dh is taking 4 weeks off (yea for a job where he can bank vacation days)

Hubby had a use it or lose it, kind of company.

Son #2 just bought a 91 - third gen Pontiac Trans Am, 5.7 litre, 8-cylinder - exactly TWO DAYS after getting his licence.

On the plus side, I've never prayed so much in my life.

Oh my.
That's 350 cubic inches of V-8 fun. It appears, for that model year, it was rated at anywhere from 225-245 horsepower from the factory (obviously, that doesn't account for any possible aftermarket tweaks). My Mustang was rated at 225 hp, which actually isn't all that much compared to the 400+ hp a lot of the American muscle cars are again puttin' out these days.

Prayers being sent...

 

[betty rose]

I prefer, and had, beer beer with mine...!

That's good too.
