It was supposed to get to 64 here yesterday. Never made it past 50 and it finally hit that at about 7 pm!

Our high here today was only 72...

 

[donaldtoo]

So many of our days last summer were in the 70's. I prefer mid to upper 80's and am very tolerant of 90. If it is summer I want to be hot.

I had no problem last summer mowing our yards in 100+ degree temps (IIRC, 105 at the highest).
And yet, I can still do TSSFFBRs in 20 degree temps with no problem...go figure...!!!!!!!

Y’all be cool...!!!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad. May he RIP.
I didn’t watch Airwolf either. The first thing I ever remember seeing him in was...

That was on TCM a few months ago.

So, anyone see A Star is Born? Watched it last weekend on DVD. Can't say it was all that great. The singing parts with Lady Gaga were good, but I didn't find the story all that intriguing. (By the way, I never saw any of the older versions of this movie; I think the original dated back to around 1937.)

Reported.

The Streisand version is awful. The original is a little boring. The Judy Garland version is fabulous.

Not yet, I'm going to wait for a copy to be in in my library. I have 5 movies her we own I haven't seen yet. Would it be wrong of me to "watch" Crimes of Grindelwald before the boys get a chance?

Loved Grindelwald.

My neighbor texted me this. He knows me all to well.

Reminds me of the beginning of Emmett Otter.

You know your Legos? It isn't that.

Speaking of Lego’s ds told me that Lego will be releasing a Steamboat Willie Lego very, very soon!

The boys remember that from Disney Family Movies Right now, depending on the cost we may dump Netflix for the Disney streaming service. We have Netflix, Hulu, CBS and curiosity stream and it's still way cheaper than our cable was. I'm not counting Amazon Prime in with the services because that's the only place we can get certain specialty food items at a decent price

We are getting free Netflix from our cable company. We will get the Disney streaming when it comes out. When we have to pay for Netflix, we will dump it.

I forgot it came out. Out of stock at my Target. In stock at Walmart. On the list!!!

We have all the same pay channels as you... except for curiousity stream... can you tell me more about that one? We also have amazon prime, but I find that we hardly ever use it for watching shows/movies. And just those apps are WAY cheaper than the cable I was paying... we cut the cord almost... 5 years ago now. It makes finding shows more complicated... there is no channel surfing anymore.. but that's OK!

I would cut it if the Olympic Channel could be streamed.

For Pi day, I ordered pizza and bought an Apple pie! What is everybody's favorite pie?

Cherry is my favorite, but I love all fruit pies.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

I didn't get any pie for Pi day. Nobody even mentioned it.

Think I'll buy myself two pieces of pie tomorrow, to make up for this tragedy.

What pie did you get?

 

[MinnieM123]

I wouldn't say better, although I could really taste the coconut and pineapple. It doesn't have the same texture as ice cream. And it is entertaining.

I don't quite know what I think about this ice cream. The concept (except for rolling it) reminds me of Cold Stone Creamery and their mix-ins routine, with the staff mixing in sweets on a cold stone. Cold Stone has been around for years, but it was a one and done for me a long time ago. Although I'm far from a germophobe, I couldn't help but wonder just how clean the surface was that they were constantly working on.

 

[MinnieM123]

What pie did you get?

It's only 5:33 AM -- I haven't been out to buy 2 slices of pie yet!!

Spiral Staircases are so impractical! Don't rich folks know?

I find Gino Easts frozen pizzas one of the very best frozen pies. I do doctor it before I put in oven. I posted this a few weeks ago.

I put a thin layer of mozzarella on top of their frozen sauce Mix together a Can of diced tomatoes, a little chopped garlic, and olive oil and dump on top of mozzarella. Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning on top of tomato mixture. Takes about 2 minutes

It turns out so yummy

Looks good...... It makes me crave the REAL Gino's though... the frozen is just not the same.... you gotta have the whole sausage patty across the entire pizza! Darn it to my first husband who took me there for one of our first dates... he ruined me forever.

But they look so cool . And if you are that rich they don't have to worry about getting furniture moved .

That would have amused the hell out of me. As long as it wasn't buzzing and I had no reason to crawl under the bed, I would have just told them about it in the morning. Good room Karma.

Seeing that where the suitcases fit best and I had the kids with me...…….

It's a mix of the History Channel and Discovery. They were running a 20 for the year special and just recently got it to fill in some of that gap

Well it was an interesting morning today at school. At the end of our third hour class there was an announcement that all students and staff had to report to the gymnasium with our coats. What?!? That has never happened in my 18 years of teaching. So I check my email quick and nothing. By the time we all go to the gym the news was that there was a gas leak somewhere in our neighborhood and we were set to evacuate the building and head to our elementary school and possibly my husband's church (it is a school & town emergency shelter). Fortunately as we were about to evacuate the gas company had found the leak and we were able to stay at school It was a little scary though. Although my first thought when I heard about the gas leak was "I hope Kapono (my dog) is okay!" since we live near the school she could have been in danger too!

PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you got to have a beer after all that.
