@betty rose , since you said you love anything pickled, and I believe @Gabe1 said she would like the zucchini pickle recipe, I looked it up in the cookbook my mom gave me. I'm assuming that "lime" is probably the chemical, not the fruit, but having never made them myself, I have no idea.

Thank you for the recipe, I'm going to wait until zucchini goes on sale. Then I will try my hand at pickling.

Disneyland shorter flight to Cali

DCL less planning

Wow, I missed the bus charge....that is too much!

You can still hop and use the regular buses the upcharge is so you can avoid a second bag check

from what I hear Cali doesn't require much planning, yet

And sometimes it is that bad. I am to the point of needing to go with my Mom now 'cause I can't get her off the revolving door of appointments and further testing when everything is coming back negative. I have to take her to a bone marrow biopsy on Friday. They had sufficiently scared her into the test-so Friday it is and then the next week for results. Her primary has her seeing a specialist from her eyes to her toes. She does have real vision issues beyond that everything is stable. Last month it was every heart test one after the next even though all of the tests from EKG's, stress and echoes came back perfect. So they scheduled an angio and I threw a fit. Some of these tests are not without risk, it can be the test that kills you vs having disease or condition.

We wonder why healthcare is so freak'n expensive just look at what my Mom has been through since January without being ill or feeling badly. Just the flip side of my 2 cents.

I get that. I'm of the opinion that less Dr's the better. I rebel when I'm told I have to try a new medicine, I look at the warning labels and say no thank you. Did that with the last two meds. for high cholesterol. It's the genes thing...you get what you get. Over and done with that topic, lol. Until the Dr. has a new miracle drug. I'm thinking I may be going to a pill pusher.....I already take 8 pills in the morning, and 5 at night. That's enough already.....rant over....

Time for a second opinion. IMHO

I believe with all the steep mountains of dirt they put up around Ohare Airport when they expanded it and likely for security they hired in goats and donkey's to mow the grass. Designed so steep that the lawnmowers couldn't navigate the mountains. Enter Goats and Donkey's.

I like that idea. Our HOA specfically says...no farm animals, in our little town.

 

[betty rose]

Thanks for sharing those. I love tulips but in my neck of the woods they're called deer chow

Our's are rabbit and deer chow. After two years of trying to plant them, I gave up. Nothing will eat daffodils. Too stinky....

 

[betty rose]

I did! The very first thing we did was get milkshakes and then go to Perkins in honor of my dad, since that was one of his favorites. I made sure to get most of my favorites in, but a lot of things have changed...like...no chicken broccoli alfredo at Applebees anymore. And I got some things and mailed a box home to myself last week. I managed to get girl scout cookies, too!

What kind of cookies? I love them all, but the thin mints are my favorites.

Good, I thought we would not buy park hopper's. Glad they aren't charging for the regular busses!

I know, but I haven't been able to find anyone that like's their Dr. I'm at a loss since my Dr. is gone from the scene.

We have a hard frost this morning!

It's just too late, for that kind of weather. Sorry.....

 

[betty rose]

We did too.

That's just not great! Old man winter should just give it up and die!

 

[betty rose]

I agree...thanks for posting Bug's. I love this!

 

[betty rose]

My parakeets are too quiet today. I hope they are not getting sick. This crazy weather makes it really hard to keep the house temperature at the right place for the birds. My husband just turned on the heat in the middle of the day. I miss the racket that these two birds usually make.

Prayers for your birds, I hope they are more chipper today.

We haven't thought about what to do. We pretty much see what looks good starting in 2018. Right now, I can't think of anything. Any suggestions?

Dunno, Maybe a romantic cruise and end with some fun at Orlando theme parks?

I love the atmosphere....it kind of looks haunted!

I do love being on the water. It's so relaxing. Great idea. Hubby will love that too!
