I think I've seen that and TAPS. Not a fan of his.

Wow. Didn't even remember he was in that flick 'til your post. I mostly remember Hutton and cruise.
OK, so that makes 2 SP flicks I've seen all the way through...!

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.

Glad that works for you.
Mostly, the only tea I ever remember drinking was sweet tea when I was much younger. Can't even remember the last time I had a glass of it.
I pretty much only drink water and beer, these days.

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 potions of tornado alley on this map...

Wow, I didn't know Florida is part of Tornado Alley. I always thought it was just the plains and Texas. I looked that up and found some nice information about it.http://climatecenter.fsu.edu/topics/tornadoes

Well I have some kids with the opposite problem. Congenitally missing adult teeth. Orthodontist will be very busy.

Oh my. Sympathy like.
Fortunately (although, not for her), our oldest DD was the only one of our 3 kiddos that needed serious orthodonture...braces for a few years to the tune of ...!
But, she has perfect teeth now, and takes very good care of them...!

Yep, although the traditional tornado alley still is what it is, it has definitely expanded over the years. A bit scary, sometimes.

Yum! (well not the brussel sprouts) But that steak and mashed potatoes!

I'll take your Brussels Sprouts then...love those things...!!!

Hubs watched his DVD of all the playoff and World Series games this weekend and is watching upstairs. I haven't heard any cursing so I assume he is happily watching.

A man of the cloth cursing...!!!!!!!

Out breakrooms, in addition to the normal coffee and water, have hot chocolate, about 10 different kinds of hot tea, iced tea, and crystal light packets. I do nothing but drink the entire day (well, in addition to doing my job).

Never heard of Cherikee Red. Maybe not an east coast thing? Never had a Grape Nehi, but I was always intrigued since Radar on MASH loved them.

Cherikee Red was created in Cleveland but is available in the midwest and specialty stores. Sometimes you'll find it at Cracker Barrel.

Yep, remember camping out for concert tickets before the wrist bands came along. Did it a few times, and it was a blast...!!!
And, we had one plain black rotary desk phone at home for the longest time. Don't remember what year it was, but, even when my folks upgraded us to a trimline, it was still a rotary dial...!!!

The last time I camped out was for one of the first OzzFests. That was a crazy night.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

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.

We have Cheerwine here in Ohio.

Yea, our kitchen at the office has the built-in Miele coffee, tea maker. Most use the heck out of it. With the exception of a few times when I felt I needed a quick kick, and the few times we have some champagne punch that I've posted pics of before , I drink only water all day at the office.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

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

Actually, extra teeth are common but not as many times as she has. And it's hereditery. My little sister had two sets of front teeth.

holy crap. the area near Tampa seems to get hit the most.. what the hell.
I wonder if its a breeding ground for land-sea tornadoes.

 

[donaldtoo]

Do you remember playground equipment made of plumbing pipes?

or Viewmasters? I had one each of disc of Disneyland and Disney World

Or
houses that had antennas on their roofs?

Or going to a drive-in movie?

Or the true meaning of a cash register...before items were scanned by cashiers and actually rung-up?

Or remember playing Jacks before they were deemed a choking hazard?

Yes to every single one, again...!

 

[Gabe1]

Birthday-eve was fun. Such a long day before but fun tonight, hopefully tomorrow proves to be even better.

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, out for now...!
Sweet Disney dreamin' to all...and a salute to the man...!!!!!



Laterrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!!

 

[Gabe1]

Wrong to think of School on a Saturday but remember these from days gone bye...film projectors in classrooms?

or a phone booth in a park?

or remember simple family fun before video games?

or the awesome merrygoround of school playgrounds? So fun, so deadly?

Or Doctor Scholls sandals? Wooden wonders that molded to your feet that were messed up by plastic replacements?

Or remember the days before one price cleaners?

Or remember the days when TV was not 24/7/365?

I know you've seen our swans before, they're not spring chickens, but a right of passage when they return to our lake each spring from their winter dorm rooms. Always so happy for a few weeks before they go back to their mean ornery selves.
