Alrighty, gang...I are out for tonight...!
The sweetest of dreamin’ and/or mornin’ to one and all of y’all...!!! (I still wanna’ be on the boat )
Laterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!!!

By the way, yesterday afternoon, one of your colleagues caught you sneaking off the job for a spin in your boat. Gotta be more careful--photographic evidence below . . .

@SteveBrickNJ , looks like you were correct about the IHOP's temporary IHOB marketing scheme. The figures are in, and their sales had a boost of 0.7% overall this year. (That figure may seem small, but across their entire operations, that percentage is larger than it may initially appear.) So I'm surprised, but there you go!

He's civilian currently but not private sector. Where, some place not fun. It's till early and but he's on list, how far up or down is yet to be determined.

Hopefully so far down they won't be able to dig for him.

You mean you have all those things "on hand" at home?

I have salt and pepper.

I have all those things on hand as well at home.

Uh, cilantro is the green stuff like parsley that most people hate. Not a spice. I meant that on my post but it didn’t come out that way. Lol I will edit.

I am ok with a little cilantro, but too much turns me off. I grew it 2 years ago but bunnies or a ground hog ate it. You need it for salsa and tacos and such @SteveBrickNJ . I am sure you have eaten it if you ever ate Mexican food.

I see Judy Garland, I like the post.
TCM is playing her movies on my birthday this year!!

My favorite of her movies is Meet Me in St. Louis.

Very nice to-go set up.

A sign of what? That I shouldn’t be listening to that music?

Funny story.. I dated a Colombian guy, had a serious relationship with an Argentinian, and married a Spaniard. All 3 of them hated raggaeton!!lol. 2 weren’t bachata fans, but my husband at least tolerated it and danced with me whenever we visited the DR.. he knew better than to refuse that. ..but he did always call my raggaeton music “that ghetto noise”.
I hate rap music, but for some reason I love Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, etc

My son dances bachata and loves the dance and music as much as I do. I have to be careful with the Pandora raggaeton channels though.. I have “explicit lyrics” turned off, but sometimes I hear a word slip thru. I don’t think T has ever heard a Spanish curse word, but I definitely don’t want him singing it.

Does T speak Spanish?

Wish I could dive into the computer screen so I could enjoy walking on that pretty coastline.

6!!!!!! All for him???? You need your own chickens, but then I would say they may not keep up for necessary production.

Any idea what the water temperature is?

Any idea what the water temperature is?

Cold
Or 16.8deg C.

I guess it made people talk about it and put IHOP on their food radar. At least the person who came up with the scheme won't be fired.

Oh my goodness! That is frigid!! Do people actually swim in it? I assume it doesn't get warmer than that since we are in the heat of the summer. I won't go in water that isn't close to 30, which is why I love Hilton Head. The water is very pleasant temperature this time of year.

Beaches are packed out at this time of year.

I could easily sit on the beach and enjoy the scenery, but I wouldn't venture into the water.

Growing up on the West Coast you learn to just jump in and get numb and then you don't feel the cold any longer. Never had a warm ocean to play in, or creeks and rivers, but that didn't stop us! Jump in, get numb, play until you're shivering so hard you're worried you'll crack a tooth.

Yes, I have been spoiled by warmer waters.
