I don't want to go out to sea

I thought you liked your cruise

 

[Figgy1]

Money?!! FREE?!!! Can I come trick or treating to your house?! (You can keep the pencil.)

Sure and I'll even invite you in for dinner

Regarding the hurricane, we have a bunch of our medical personnel (from work) down in Florida now for a convention. They're supposed to stay until Friday or Saturday, but now they might try to come back sooner. Dang. It was nice and quiet with them gone. Talk about bad timing for this stupid hurricane!!

Maybe it's a bit of a blessing my dh can't get away this month. If we were going to go down it would have been right about when the storm is supposed to hit.

My DD and I have some nasty reactions to heavy scents. We too bought the pine cones one year. They were just way too overwhelming for a smaller space over an allergy as we are fine with cinnamon. In a large store the scent is so pleasant. In a home not so much. But they are intended to go into a fireplace one or two at a time. Very different that a whole honk'n pile in a room.

I agree. I put them in plastic and take one out at a time as needed. Most bags keep 2 years in my house.

Free money, woot! Pencil? Not so much. @figmentfan423 is the pencil part of Teal Pumpkin Project?

I've been giving out coins and seasonal pencils for quite a while. There are at least 3 kids with serious peanut allergies and a couple of kids that can't have dairy so it's safer.

This is the one I have on my phone...!!!

Nope, nope, nope. You see all those funny-looking doodad keys, to the left of the numbers? If they'd just get rid of those, you'd have nice big spaces for the numbers. It would be so much easier to use. Maybe you could write to the company that made the phone calculator, and suggest this upgrade.

Good morning, progress reports for middle school came home yesterday and I didn't have to pull a tiger mom Went into James' phone and almost all of his texts are to and from girls and best yet mean nasty Mathew looks like he's going to miss me. Prayers and pixie dust to all those in his path

That's mighty neighborly of you. Just promise me you won't serve me okra!!

But does all candy have dairy in it? I figured some candy must be safe, but I've never researched it.

No prob! Braised tofu and mushrooms it will be

Almost all chocolate candy has dairy, even some things like hard candy have nut and peanut warnings on the label. I just like to be extra safe and my dh is trying to stay on his post vacation diet. No candy in the house helps with that.

If you turn it so it's in portrait mode, the numbers are nice and big

Just curious, do you always read your son's texts?

Not all of them but we do check every so often to keep him on his toes. It was one of the rules set up when he got the phone.

Well, at least I'm taking off this Friday, so that I'll have a 4-day weekend through to Columbus Day on Monday! YEA!!

I always used to take off Christmas Eve thru New Years. Since both Eve's and the Holiday were paid days off I only had to use a couple days vacation.

 

[Goofyernmost]

I don't see "most of the day" on that chart.

I would think that would be "One step away from burial." But, I'm not a napper. As my mother used to constantly say to my father. You will have an eternity to nap. Stay awake!

If I was a kid nowadays, and I had a parent who checked my text messages, I would definitely not save any of them. In fact, I never save a text message now. Once I have read it, it's gone.

When are you going to Disney again? We did a quick trip for Food & Wine a couple weekends ago. So much good food.

I was reading a blog on Top 7 Worst Dishes at Epcot's Food and Wine. Complete with photos. It is really funny.

Comments like you probably should just not serve chicken and dumplings if Cracker Barrel serves much better. Comparisons to dog/cat food. Or a two-for for horrid Italian Food. There was another part the best of F&W. I liked it cause it kinda steered you to the best of the best and what to run far away from.
