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

Thin mints, tagalongs, samoas, and the new s'mores ones. I haven't opened any of them yet.

Have a great evening everyone. Now, I'm hungry ....again!

That food looks delicious. Interesting presentation of the cheeseburger. Never saw shreds of cheese as opposed to it already being melted. I like that. Of course I would have to change the beef to a bean burger without the bacon.

Where was this? My cousin took me to Cherry Creek grill last Thursday night before I flew out and I had the prime rib french dip, which was AWESOME! They have a VERY limited menu and the french dip was the only thing on there I would eat, but it was really good! I had to ask them not to put mayo on it...I'd never heard of a french dip that came with mayo on it!!

Thank you for finding my towel

Sympathy like. Hope you got a nap in. I think you must have been having sympathy insomnia! I went to bed at about 10:30 last night, then woke up at midnight and tried in vain to get back to sleep until 5:15...and I had to get up an hour later. I was soooo tired today. Then my dishwasher crapped out on me...well, not true...it crapped out on my husband last night. He does the dishes, but it meant that the kids' school lunch containers weren't clean this morning. So I spent the morning washing those by hand and trying to unclog the drain with a turkey baster. Finally got it to work...still no idea what was wrong with it as there was nothing caught in the filter, but once I got all the water out of the bottom, it started working again....then it stopped again, and I had to repeat the entire process. It seems to be working now. But after a lack of sleep and then dealing with that, I was so not going to do any of the other things planned for the day. They will be there tomorrow.

THNX. My dh is now working the overnight and he didn't have to go in early which meant I wound up staying up a bit later than usual. I'm sorry to hear about your dishwasher. Have you checked to see if there are any kinks in the hose? or checked the power to the pump? A while back I though my washing machine was dying and it turned out to be about $4 in change clogging the hose, knock wood. Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious

Now I'm in the mood for a jalepeno black bean burger

Mayo on a french dip? Is the place run by Paula Deen?

I made black bean burgers on Sunday. I made creole seasoning and seasoned them with that. They were so yummy. Topped them with chili.

What a great slide show!!

Really loud and scary. This is not that uncommon in Colorado. We had major hail damage a couple years ago, and had to have our roof replaced. We had several branches taken down by the wind and hail. Not big hail, just a lot of it.

Roof replaced?! That's major damage! OMG!

Sleeping outdoors with a cot (we used that when we had more money to spend). Was really nice. We would leave the tent open at night, and it was fun hearing all the animals.

Yah, that's fine as long as it's not a cougar or bear!!

I've got nothing against camping, but I imagine the bugs could drive you crazy though. Maybe it depends on the season.

 

[MinnieM123]

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

Not yet . . .

He made you stay up until 8 pm. How dare he.

@Goofyernmost , how are things in N.C.? I hope the weather settled down, as I know there was quite a lot of rain recently down there. I'd ask my brother who also lives in N.C., but he's usually oblivious to everything! (Come to think of it, I believe that's a family trait. )

@ajrwdwgirl , according to Google, today is Teachers' Day. Have a happy Teachers' Day!!

Thanks! Tomorrow is our luncheon provided by the group of local churches (which hubby is in charge of). Our district administrator sent us an email Monday thanking us for our hard work.

Have you ever done the tent thing at Fort Wilderness? Are tents provided or do you have to bring your own? I looked at that before I found the European deal last summer and the cabins were more expensive than the Values, so I didn't want to do that, but couldn't tell if the tent was provided for that area. It was certainly cheaper, but there was no way for us to pack a tent and sleeping bags and all that in the luggage.

I don't think Disney provides tents, but there is probably someplace in Orlando that would rent them. I know there is a company that will rent RV's and even set it up for you at Fort Wilderness. I looked into once, it was a little more expensive than a value but I decided I didn't want to "rough" it.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

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?

Another vote for Disneyland. And if you don't want to drive around LA there are some nice tours you can do to see beaches and stuff.

 

[MinnieM123]

@StarWarsGirl , so which do you prefer? Being a college student, or being out in the working world now? I imagine there's pros and cons, just like everything else. You were a really good student though, and I'm just wondering if the work world has lived up to your expectations, post-graduation.

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....

Ha! And Dear Lord that is a lot of pills woman!

Wanta hear some good news. Since I needed to schedule my Mom's bone marrow test into my schedule to get her to the hospital I bought a little time. I haven't spoken to her since she decided to have her old hip drilled. (her body, her call). So I get a call from my Mom this morning and she tells me I have Friday Free again. "I just called the doctors office and cancelled the Bone Biopsy" and errr what??? I say. "2 blood tests and one DNA Blood scan and he tells me everything came back negative. I'm not letting him drill a hole into my hip at 83 years old to tell me again everything is negative as he said it likely would last week. I'm done. Oh and thanks for going with me, it gave me the courage to say NO!"

Score One for Mom!
