Good morning to you, too! There are 5 pancakes in that stack; I can't imagine how anyone could eat 5 of them in one sitting, but they sure look good . . . Bacon goes with everything, too. Looks like a cappuchino to go along with the breakfast feast. I'm just having a small container of plain yogurt (boring).

Very happy to hear that Christmas with your family was so enjoyable and relaxing. As for your gift, I've never tried those infusers, but have been seeing them in stores for years. What scent did you get?

I got four scents: eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree, and ginger.

I'm with you on the second childhood. As long as we pay our bills and tend to our responsibilities, who says we can't keep the imagination and wonderment of a child? And it's better because we can buy our own toys!

I agree! And, we can never have enough toys!

Those are nice. I'm curious about the tea tree one, though. Haven't a clue what that smells like?!

To me it smells heavenly. It's really good for bunions and calluses. It has a a lot of uses actually, but I just love the smell.

I really like how you share your health-related tips with the rest of us! If you ever decide you're tired of being a respiratory therapist, I could see you working in a holistic type of store, helping people select various herbs, etc., for medical treatments.

Aw thanks! As my kids get older I would love to moonlight doing something like you suggested.

That's sad . . . I'm just the opposite: I drag out Christmas for at least another week! Christmas decorations still up, I put on the tree lights every evening, look at the (opened) presents underneath, look at the Christmas cards I put up on the wall, etc. I'm even drinking coffee now from my Lenox Holly design china cup and saucer. Even the Christmas china set won't get put away for another week, at least. (But, I suppose you're probably more mature than I am, and can face the fact that Christmas was over 2 days ago. I think I'm stuck in a 4-year-old child's time warp mentality, when it comes to post-Christmas. ) Some of us never outgrew our childhood; either that, or maybe my "second childhood" is even more fun than the first??!

Try growing up Ukrainian ... nothing gets put away until after the 7th.

I think Moxo was making countdown to halloween, then to turkey day, then to christmas.. I'm surprised noone started the countdown to new year.

Yup, I know what you meant.
She has already posted two of them.
The ? was asking why you can't see them. Did you put her on "ignore"?

If you compare the diameter of those pancakes to the mug, you'll see they're pretty small. I could eat all five.
In fact, I should eat all five, before I hop back on the no-carb train.

After two days of being sick, my boys are both upright and mobile.
Sadly, neither joined us for Christmas dinner or for D-Family Boxing Day dinner.
Yay for leftovers!!

You know teenaged boys ... neither will ease back into the land of the living with dry toast and applesauce.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Good morning

Yes please.

 

[Cesar R M]

Good morning, Cesar. I think you may be behind in a few posts. @MOXOMUMD has certainly started the New Year's countdown; she's posted a few fun pictures already! (The most recent was post # 7942--pretty picture.)

dang, thats what I get for being out of this forum for too long! XD

they look pretty small if you compare them to the size of the cup. So, these 5 pancakes might be worth 3 big pancakes!

SCIENCE!!!!

Great minds think alike!

speaking of gifts..
We used to give a lot of physical gifts.
But now, between my brothers and my close family group; We now give restaurant all-paid trips or other things that are more experience than "physical things".

To resume... I got 2 invitations to different restaurants (one to the local Outback) and a small batch of chocolate as well (ferrero rocher ) as gifts.

same in Mexico.
We only grap up things until the day of the Saint Kings (Santos Reyes) on January 6.
Infact, a few states in my country.. do not give gifts in the 25th. They give them on the 6th.

Luckily, I haven't a clue who that is, and don't follow Twitter at all. Regardless of who he is or what he said, I assume you're probably right, in the sense that he craved attention. If that was his goal, why couldn't he just talk to a friend or a family member? Maybe it's just me, but I'll never understand the attraction of Twitter.

I love twitter. I'd say 98% of what I follow is Disney. Some great photos. Things like when both times the FLE attractions caught fire that was the source of the breaking news. But I can go a week without looking at Twitter, like the week leading up to Christmas. I kinda kept an eye on twitter while in WDW. Could see things like when Splash went down so I could gauge apx when it would cycle and be brought up. My DD and I were on Thunder when it unexpectedly reopened, a CM gave me a heads up and DD and I were in line first. Those CMs thought we were nuts, I knew better, they were surprised. I posted our view from our seats that Thunder was back from Rehab.

For the most part all I post on Twitter is photos, it is an easy quick upload and I can copy the ULR, after I delete 3/4 of them after slurping up the ULR. It is a great waste of time in lines at WDW or in lines around here. I don't do facebook so twitter is it for me.

As for the dude, he is a well regarded scientist. He is African American. He is Agnostic. I have seen him quoted over the years on the later two. He has little interest in talking about life being Black more his accomplishments and theories. In a nutshell his thoughts on God any God are it doesn't add up scientifically, no matter which religious God it is. Expanding on that he usually quips I don't waste time trying to discredit what others spend centuries killing one another over, who's God is better or the real one. I was taken back by his sudden and out of character comments on Christmas. Seemed to have a bug in his bonnet Thursday.

I read some of his tweets and some of his twits were definitively out of character.. but still based on scientific studies.
He probably tried to talk scientifically about some of the myths of the 25th. The dates of Jesus being born and other dates that did not appear(or were inconsistent) in most of the original old versions of the bible.

There definitely was a message in his tweets, but, it again was a overreaction to a small thing and that, to me, is more of the point that he was making. The point being that people will find something to get upset about no matter what you decide to talk about. If you are talking about who (or possibly whom) had a life changing significance to mankind that was born on December 25th, then there are probably a number of people that fit that description. If Newton was born on that date then he was one of many that fit that description. If one wants to get all snotty about their religious beliefs they can convince themselves that only one had any affect at all. And to mention any other name would be anti-christian when indeed it isn't anti anything. It is pro-Newton, but, rightfully doesn't apply relevance to anything else because that wasn't what he was talking about. But being human we can't ever see anything other then what we think is important to us individually. Makes me sad really.
