I tried to legitimately catch up but failed. Sorry guys.

Update: they moved my dad back into critical care. Blood clots in his lungs and abdomen. He'll likely need another surgery to deal with them. I tried to call him but he was confused and drugged up and hung up on me. I almost flew home this morning but the doctors said he's stable and I can't use vacation days for this unless he's really really critical. *sigh*

Sending more prayers and pixie dust xoxo

That's why I live where I live. Somebody just told me the first day of autumn is Saturday. Makes no difference here. It's summer til November or December.

I’m the only idiot who moves North instead of South.

I Mean... how I can pass this up?

 

[Cesar R M]

Yup, that one. Someone bumped it. Again.

That thread revives like.. every month XD

 

[Cesar R M]

Nope....he won't eat chicken unless it's in nugget form, and he won't touch veggies. Or soup, or ribs. There's not a single piece of meat I can get him to eat, other than a hotdog or battered fried cod. He won't eat a steak, or a pork chop, or a chicken breast, or a hamburger, or even bacon. None of it.

....

or even bacon. None of it

Electroshock therapy seems the only solution. I'm sorry

You could pass it up...if you happened to be in a frappucino mood.

In other words, another one has joined the Dark Side.

True...

There was one open on Route 9 in Freehold NJ the last time I traveled that area...maybe 2 months ago. I can't be sure if they are still open.

I gave Golden Corral in Freehold a call just now. Someone answered. They are open.

Well, let's wait until next week to make sure I'm not coming down with the crud first. DH is finally starting to feel better, but I'm not feeling so hot, today, so I think I might be coming down with it. I won't be up to cooking so much as a hotdog much less meatballs!!

Hope you don’t get the illness.

Very sad day in the Netherlands today. I have never seen these in the US before, but here, we have these special bikes that have a kind of trailer on them. It's an electric bike with a trailer, and daycares use them for fieldtrips to parks, etc. This morning, a daycare worker was transporting 5 kids to an elementary school, when apparently the breaks stopped working at a train crossing. An eye witness said he heard her call for help, and the bike was just charging and she couldn't stop, went through the barrier arms and was caught by a train. 4 of the kids died, the 5th child and the daycare worker are in critical condition, and it's "concerning"....they may not make it. Two of the deaths plus the one in critical condition were from the same family. There were two 4 year olds, a 6 year old and an 8 year old who died, and the one hospitalized is 11. So so sad. Daycares all over the country have opted not to use those bikes anymore.

That is just absolutely tragic. Those poor little children, the driver, and their families.

I meant to post this earlier.. I didn’t pass it up.

Look at how they hacked my name.

Well, down here we try really hard to be nice about it, so bless your heart and stay warm.

Lol...they kinda made it into an adverb.
They’re funny like that sometimes. Once my dad was ordering for us at one of the parks. The employee taking the order asked for his name; he said, “Greg”, she said, “Capri?” He said, “I could answer to that too, but no.”

I saw packages of black walnuts in my supermarket recently. They were by the organic nuts and dried fruit.

Can you please go buy a bag and try some? If you don't like them, let me know That way, I won't waste my money. Thank you for offering to do that for me.
