Depends on their nightly rate.

And if Continental Breakfast is included....

Yes, thank you. I am ready to leave this morning, I got up early so I could drink tea and get on here to catch up. I love early mornings, they are so quiet and peaceful. So our plan is to go to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. I will try to get my kids to help me post pictures here since I am technologically challenged. If not, I might have to just give narrative until I get back.

Safe travels and go Seahawks!

Could You Pass The Canadian Citizenship Test?
You got 12 out of 16 right!

1. YOU PASSED
   Passing the Canadian citizenship test requires that you get at least 75% of the questions correct. You’ve proven your TRUE patriot love!

3 of 16...
I am, decidedly, not Canadian.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Wow you were up late. Did the DD go back to school?

Since Christmas break started on Dec. 18 until yesterday, they've only been in school for 4 days total. Two last week and two this week. No school today or Monday.

Last night we actually went to sleep shortly after seven so I woke up for about twenty minutes before deciding I didn't need to be up and went back to sleep.

and in something completely different.
I expect to have some epic explosive diarreha a la World War 3.. why? I ate way too much Indian curry.

It was delicious but I suspect I will pay my deeds pretty soon..

If I dont survive.. give my regards to the hat.

 

[donaldtoo]

Wow. Why are prices so reasonable on everything where you live??!! It's kinda like your area is stuck in some sort of time warp, and you must be thrilled!!

Yea, a lot of the cost of living down here is pretty reasonable, but, not everything.
Although, we're not in the market for any, real estate is definitely creepin' up there. Our sales tax is $0.0825 on the dollar (last I remember, it was $0.0650 in Central Florida), and we are the home of Whole Paycheck/Paycheque (Foods) Market.

See ... it was hard, right?
Bet my 12/16 looks pretty impressive right now.

Okay @StarWarsGirl95 - bring on the U.S. version of the test.

Our sales tax is 13% - 5% Federal, 8% Provincial. Applied to all Goods & Services.
Bet you're glad you didn't pass that Citizenship Test, eh?!

 

[donaldtoo]

These are beauties, too! My wardrobe has been lacking in style lately, and I need exquisite items like these to jazz it up. (I assume you must have found these on the Tiffany's web site, correct?)

Yea...uhmmm...errr...
Tiffany's!!! That's the ticket...!!!!!
Actually, I just googled "Minnie Mouse snowmen/snowwomen" and all that stuff, and more, came up.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

So I got off the plane today, got on a bus, and then was wandering around. I found this really old creapy hotel. It has vacancy. I dunno, what do you all think?

I wouldn't recommend using the elevator.

 

[donaldtoo]

What an odd story! I had to laugh when I read the link, just thinking about all the freedom we had as kids. We'd go anywhere on our bikes, or walk miles (basically, "free range") in the local area, play, and just have fun. Nope, no neglect there from parents, etc.; we just "lived" normal, children's lives. Thank God I was a kid back then.

Yep, same here. I wouldn't wanna' be a kid these days.
We'd disappear into the NoCal foothills on our bikes for the entire day on a weekend, or during the summer.
Mom and pop knew we'd be back in time for dinner.
We did tons of stuff with our folks, but, we were also allowed to go find our own stuff to do.

Someone else can do it...I'm taking a trip on Star Tours flight 1401. Hopefully everything goes alright...

 

[donaldtoo]

I love that color blue.

Me too.
Also, I really love the contrast between the cool and warm colors. It just gives me a good feeling.

 

[donaldtoo]

Those are the same prices here.

Ya' know, when I was postin' about that I was thinkin' about y'alls prices up there too, 'cause you've posted pretty similar gas prices to ours down here.
Cheers to value.

 

[donaldtoo]

But you have to remember wages vary greatly from state to state and region to region.

Texas Average Mean Wage is $15.81 and Annual Mean Wage is $44,400

MA Average Mean Wage is $21.07 and Annual Mean Wage is $56,410

Costs vary and even things like housing costs and property taxes are worlds apart in cost by areas.

What's really cool is when you live in Texas and make beyond MA Annual Mean Wage...
