Saturday is shaping up to be pretty nice...did our weekly coffee and doughnut run with the dog and it will be 60 today with sun!

@figmentfan423 how are you feeling today? Are those boys pampering you so you can heal up?

Gotten, past tense

My driver's ed was more practical no blood on the highway films, but picture a middle aged chunky gym teacher trying to teach S ed with WW2 era social disease films

We got plenty of after school driving experience as well, but we saw those films.

Oh my.
We first had S Ed in elementary school (I believe it started in 4th grade), and it was called Family Life Education.
I remember my folks having to sign off on it. I remember it being pretty thorough.
It was Cali, after all...!!!

Speaking of Star Trek, my dad found some old batteries laying on his desk and said, "Are these any good?" and I said, "They're dead, Jim." And he didn't get it.

He should have got that...unless his first name is Jim, maybe...!!!

Never heard of this drink until you and MOXOMUMD mentioned it. Yes, it must be only in specific markets throughout the country.

That's quite possible. Here in No. Carolina we have our own beverage called Cheerwine. It is manufactured and bottled here in NC. It's basically just Cherry Soda, nothing particularly special about it. I have never seen it anyplace other then locally and even then I never knew it even existed until I happened to see it when I was looking for something else on the interwebs. It is quite good, but, I'm sure you never heard of it before. I guess it is to wash down the Krispy Kreme Donuts.

I missed out on the Baio one

Yea, I don't remember that one, either. Wonder when it came out? I graduated HS in'80.

 

[donaldtoo]

Are you sure you're related?

 

[donaldtoo]

Guess you're not getting the same rain we are. Sun today, rain tomorrow, and the next,...Guess I need a raindress.

This one's even stylish with nobody in it...!

 

[donaldtoo]

It's a sunny 68 today

If 68 is scorchio, then we fried at a paltry 82 for a high today. I'm guessing many here would have a major problem with our high double digit and triple digit temps we have all summer long...

14 days until Easter.

Gotta' love chocolate "carbonite"...!

 

[donaldtoo]

In traction until monday and then will see where we go from there. Not cardi weather you coward.

Sorry, about a week late.
Hope your mum is a lot better, by now...!

 

[donaldtoo]

He also didn't get it when I said they were all dead, not mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. With mostly dead, they're slightly alive. With all dead, there's only one thing you can do: go through their clothes and look for loose change.

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.

Oh my! Sympathy like for your DD.
I have never heard of that before. How common is multiple eye tooth growth like that...?!

 

[donaldtoo]

Let's see... My father and my wife drank coffee like they were about to run out of it. My mother and I never drank the stuff and neither of my daughters nor their husbands drink coffee either. Go figure!

Must be why Starbucks charges so much...they hafta' make up for all us non coffee drinkers...!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

He should have got that...unless his first name is Jim, maybe...!!!

Nope. His brother is Jim, but he's not.

The sad part is he's watched TOS with me before. Obviously he wasn't paying enough attention, so we might have to revisit it.

My friend who I took to DL loves coffee, and I hate coffee. Yet I'm the Starbucks drinker. She says Starbucks burns their beans. With the exception of the Starbucks in the Disney parks. She was so happy because we went into the Starbucks on MS in DL and she said, "They didn't burn the beans and I am so happy about this."

I drink their chai tea. If I have a migraine, sometimes that's the only thing that helps. I have no idea why. I drink chai practically all day because work has it, but that is the one that works.

Eeekk! That's scary. Glad the rotation broke up. I know we have a few members here on Chit Chat who live in states that get tornado warnings, at certain times of the year. But, I didn't think that Texas was one of them.

Oh my, especially North Texas can be a real tornado war zone. We usually have many tornado watches/warnings here, in the spring especially.
The exception being those few drought years we had a few years back.
We are pretty much just south of what is traditionally called "tornado alley", although that "alley" has changed over time. The worst I remember around here was back in '97 when a tornado destroyed part of a grocery store and did some pretty bad damage to about a dozen homes, about 5 miles north of us.
Again, it seems the hill effect breaks most of it up before it can get setup in perfect conditions and do major damage.
Check out the difference between the old and new added portions of tornado alley on this map...
