Neither for me. Hot chocolate is my thing.

I can drink coffee, but, I don't go out of my way for it. We even have a Meile at the office, but, I can't remember the last time I had a cup from it. DWifey does not like coffee at all. My folks and her mom are coffee drinkers (her pop was also a coffee drinker, but, passed years ago).
And, all 3 of our kiddos drink coffee...go figure.

I don't think they needed her to bring people to see the film. People would have seen it anyway. I don't see her as a draw. I just didn't find her very sympathetic. She doesn't have the same depth as other actresses have. And yeah, the fact that she really doesn't sing in a role that requires some really good singing does make casting baffling. Hey, just my little opinion.

I just find it funny that Disney chose a Potter actress for the movie...maybe a slight, albeit weak "In your face!" To J.K. Rowling...!!!

I don't know if you ever saw the original movie of "Can't Buy Me Love", that came out in 1987 I think(as you are in your early 20's), he played the lead character who was a total dork. I still see him as that guy. I don't "fancy" him too much.

I remember that flick...!

just remember to plan your hours.. the Oasis stays very few hours at Puerto Rico (around 5 hours).
And if you're unlucky (other ship docking almost at same time will slow down the debarkation because of the "drag" big ships caused. in my case.. it was the Carnival Magic.

Thanks, I will plan the day. Did you see anything worth seeing on your trip?

Well, the last hour has been a ton of tornado warning fun...!!!!!
Fortunately, the rotation all broke up again, but, we got a little hail and a whole bunch of lightning and sideways rain.

Stay safe! I'm glad it has broken up for you.

Hi @betty rose !!! So glad to hear from you. Sorry about the BIL. That is awful. Here's pixie dust for a quick recovery. And WOW Puerto Rico sounds really nice. Good for you!! You deserve it definitely.

Thank you, I'm pretty excited about the trip!

 

[betty rose]

Tell me about it. We have been staying at my mom's because a pipe broke in our septic pump line so we can't run water, then her heat went out one night, and then my daughter had to have four teeth pulled.

I'm so sorry. This is not turning out to be a good year. Maybe we will need to stick our heads in the sand, for the rest of the year!

 

[betty rose]

Nice to see you back Betty! The Oasis trip sounds great. I've heard Puerto Rico is very interesting. The trip sounds like something you really need after the winter you have had. I hope you and your hubs are still planning to go even if your sister and brother-in-law can't.

Hubby plans to go ahead and go.

Y

You are quite correct. Never assume anything. As a high school history teacher told me once never assume because look what the first 3 letters in assume spell. If you are in the mood for a cheesy 80's teen movie, rent it.

Hahaaa...!
I always remember it as never assume anything, because you could make an a** out of u and me...!!!

Hello, everyone. Got the daughter and two boys, signed up for their apartment. After an 11 hour day...yesterday the kids house sold, it took 28 showings, with people out bidding each other. I guess houses are selling like crazy. The grandson's, were told last night about the divorce. The oldest took it really hard, the youngest is a go with the flow kind of kid. I expected it to turn out this way. So we all went to top golf this morning to celebrate the SIL birthday. We meet back to go to lunch. SIL got a phone call from his dad...his mom is in the hospital with a small intestine blockage. So, it goes on. Hey, @figmentfan423 I hope you leg is doing better. That's the update. My heart hurts so much for the oldest grandson. Will try to do ketchup this evening....I hope!

Stay safe down there.

I think lake front(my house is only "lake view") may be better. I tried to go out to the garage. My foot stuck in the mud, I went splat, had to get into the shower, clothes straight into the washer and the fun part is the bottom half of my left leg doesn't feel so good. I'm hoping to be fully mobile by morning.

I hope your recovery is coming along, nicely. xoxo

I'm glad the house sold quickly. One problem down one to go. My leg is much better and I hope to get back to my regular workout routine either tomorrow or Tuesday

 

[betty rose]

Gosh, hope it feels better soon. You can't shoot the groundhogs with a lame foot.

I'll take care of them, for @figmentfan423!

Take it easy....

 

[Figgy1]

Take it easy....

Yes mom. The current plan is if I wake tomorrow with no pain is to do a shorter low impact workout followed by spending some time walking with my dh when he gets home

That's the right approach. Your welcome, dd....

^^me. I hope things have gotten better for you xoxo

Thanks, I'm finally back in my house and my daughter is all good with her teeth until the next need out. This is her fourth set of eye teeth that have grown in. Now maybe I can catch up here some.

Hubby plans to go ahead and go.

Are they going to be able to go? From what I remember you saying about your relationship with your sister, it might be more fun and relaxing for you without them.
