I second that! (Just hope I make it to heaven . . . )

Me too. I always joke with hubby that with him being a minister he is my ticket into heaven.

Oh, isn't that funny--I LOVE plaids! HA! I've finally found a kindred spirit. Hubby always chuckles at me when I'm looking at the clothes from L L Bean (where plaid is always king!). Hubby refers to L L Bean as "Plaid World"! I've always been intrigued by plaids and the different tartan clan heritage colors and designs. I've had a number of plaid, wool skirts over the years as well. There's just something about plaid!

This Scottish girl agrees!!

 

[French Quarter]

I never said that. Please don't twist my words around.

Sorry... I was making fun of myself. I said I'm one of those people who pay buy into nostalgia gimmicks. Wasn't meaning to upset you. My apologies.

 

[French Quarter]

In the previews, that actually looked like a decent new series. Haven't seen it yet though.

I'm finding it to be pretty enjoyable so far. The verdict is still out in my house though.

It was white chocolate but waxy.

Ahhh...yuck. I know just what you mean.

 

[French Quarter]

Okay, I might be moving to Canada now....

Come on up! We've got an awful lot of space.

I rarely venture to the Chit Chat forums, but I'm glad I found this one.

Hello. Welcome to our little family.

The live action Cinderella was okay, but the animated one is way better!!

The live action Cinderella I love, although Ever After is still my favorite version of Cinderella. I liked that the prince had more personality, that it explained her backstory a bit better (like why the stepmother hated her and why she chose not to leave). Plus Cinderella in that movie was strong. Not in a kick-butt kind of way, but she didn't allow her circumstances to break her, and she didn't put her own happiness above the well-being of the prince and the kingdom.

I actually don't like the animated one that much...and Cinderella is my second least favorite princess, right next to Snow White, who is at the bottom. I watched both versions on the same day after I had my surgery, and I much preferred the new version. The prince's lack of personality in the original really bothers me. That, and Lucifer.

I thought bison and buffalo are the same?

Nope.

Early American settlers called bison “bufello” due to the similar appearance between the two animals, and the name "buffalo" stuck for the American variety. But it's wrong. The American bison (Bison bison) lives only in North America, while the two main buffalo species reside in Africa and Asia.Sep 6, 2012

To tell the difference between a buffalo and a bison, "just look at the horns,” MacPhee says. “[Bison’s] are like typical cow horns; in buffalo, they are relatively huge, sweeping arcs." Bison also have a large shoulder hump. (Telling the difference between the two species of bison is slightly tougher. "An average male European bison has less hair, especially in the cape, or mane,"

I am thinking but have to double check I think our average wage of our teachers is $55 or $65K We pay very nicely for those who go for a masters and we as a district pay for their masters.

Yes, Lucifer is a very bad kitty!!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Yes, Lucifer is a very bad kitty!!

And not realistic. Cats do not act out of spite or vengeance. They act a certain way because, well, they're cats.

Of course, talking mice aren't exactly realistic either...

 

[catmom46]

Of course, talking mice aren't exactly realistic either...

Although this is one of the reasons why I like the movie. They're just so darn cute!

 

[Gabe1]

Technically no. People call them buffalo, but they aren't really. Early settlers thought they looked like buffalo, so that's what they called them, but they aren't.

See the problem with me answering questions without catching up first. ooops

I love hearing about Walt. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think @MR FERRET has finished building his summerhouse yet. You may have quite a wait. I do hope you have a roof over your head until he gets around to building you a place to live!

Oi cheeky it was done a while back.just in time for summer to end

That explains why I love both Tangled, Frozen and Brave. I'm happy Disney has upped it's princess game. I'm hoping it's really the end of one dimensional Characters.

Happy Tuesday, make it a good one xoxo
