Well, kiddies....I'm off to have early supper and get ready for tomorrow. See you in about a week...behave yourselves.

That's what they call armadillo road kill in the south: Possum on the half shell.

well, thank you.. now I have the TMNT theme song stuck in my brain again.. "heroes in a half shell, TURTLE POWER!"

And lest y'all think I eat nothing but restaurant food and takeout, I offer you my regular breakfast:



12-grain, whole grain bread, toasted; with organic peanut butter and a smidge of grape jelly.

Have a great trip. Be safe.

I feel your pain. Weeds are a PITA. What part of the country are you in?

Texas.

Sadly, weed killer is banned in Ontario.
If you try to smuggle it in from Quebec or the U.S., it will be confiscated, and you could be fined. Big bucks.
Thank you Nanny State, Liberal Premier. Not!

Why is it banned??

 

[JenniferS]

hmm, is there a real reason for that?

Yes, our Nanny State Liberal Premier has decided that weed killer is bad - banned; pit bulls are bad - banned; smoking in your car with occupants under the age of 12, bad - banned; buying beer or liquor anywhere but the Beer Store or gov't owned LCBO, bad - still banned; smoking, bad (obviously) - all advertising, marketing, promotion - banned. (In fact, any store that has a pharmacy is prohibited from selling tobacco products from the same building, and for all other retailers, products must be kept behind roll-down covers.)



Nanny State. These guys think we are too stupid to think for ourselves, and that we can't be trusted to make wise decisions.

Hubby has already told me that we are never doing Hawaii or Australia. Not even in first class.

(Yeah, like I would pay for first class. )

Nope, neither would we. It's expensive enough as it is to fly.

Our neighbors left today for Hawaii. They are flying first class, but used frequent flyer miles to upgrade.

The plane that we'll fly back on from Honolulu is a double decker. The upper deck has beds. Boy would that be nice.

Lame!

I guess not but honkers, jugs and bazoombas are okay?

Lets try Hooters!

 

[Goofyernmost]

You're mocking me again, right?

Possibly, but, that wouldn't be nice and if nothing else is true... I'm a nice guy! (For a yankee)

 

[Goofyernmost]

Do you think it might have been an armadillo? At first, I thought opossum, but now I think maybe you saw an armadillo.

No, definitely not an armadillo. No armor, that's armour for @JenniferS, just fur or hair or whatever it is that those critters have.

I sprayed for weeds in my yard today. Ugh. What a pain. This is only the second full season for my lawn. Weeds were everywhere. disaster! Going to cut and fertilize later this week because we are finally past the cold temperatures. Very late this year.

I know that I would never have been a Better Homes and Gardens winner, but, my philosophy was always that weeds were not only green, but they stayed that way when everything else turned brown. From a distance you cannot tell a weed from a blade of grass (as long as it is kept mowed). Long live weeds! A yard full of dandelions are very nice and cheery looking. Natural flowers, why wouldn't I like them. Without them, what do little kids pick to bring to their moms as a present? Or, what would one make Dandelion Wine from?

Anybody else getting the feeling that we are dealing with a British Censorship setup here?

I found that very amusing myself and quite odd that you can say "breast" but not the plural!

You can always say 80085 !!! (leetspeak)

Or upside down speak would be sʇsɐǝɹq

My mother hated Caillou as well. I was never allowed to watch it. We're close enough to DC that we get two PBS channels. If Caillou came on, she would tell me to turn on the other PBS channel.

My favorites were Dragon Tales, Sagwa, Big Comfy Couch, and Arthur.

On PBS we watch Curious George, Dinosaur Train, Wild Kratts and Cat In The Hat. (Martin Short plays a good Cat.)

Well that was crazy. We went through our entire trip and changed/added reservations. Has anyone here ever eaten at The Grove? We made a dinner reservation and it got great reviews on allears. We make our fast passes in 6 days. My daughter only gets to go for 5 days then goes back home for work and school. So that's new and a little sad. Oh well, they do grow up no?

Are you talking The Garden Grove at the Swan? We dined there on bbq night a few years ago and it was good. We were one of the first dinner reservations and it wasn't very crowded at the time so Pluto and Goofy got to visit twice. We had set a goal to dine at every character meal on property and the Garden Grove was the last one we had to do. The characters change on certain nights so you may have someone different when you go.
