Hey girl! My ex has been putting me through some major drama and can't be on as much as I want either.

Sympathy like. I hope things get better soon for you.

Went running. It wasssss so hot. Not as hot as the south but..

If you just waited one day, you'd be running in far less humid weather. I'm pretty sure RI is supposed to get a break from the humidity starting tomorrow (same as MA).

At least you still have one so enjoy it, regardless of their coffee . . . We have ONE big book store left (a Barnes & Noble) and it's a free-standing store, not in a mall or anything. There's a tiny independent store in a town nearby (no coffee, no chairs--no room for them inside!) and I always go and shop there each year for some Christmas presents. I like supporting small businesses when I can.

We have both a B&N and a Half Price Books less than 5 min. from the house.
Unfortunately (because I like books), I haven't been to either in quite some time.
Can't even remember the title of the last book I purchased at B&N, but, the last book I picked up at HPB was "The Hand Behind the Mouse", the Ub Iwerks biography.
Although there are none in our immediate area, there are still several independent, single location, bookstores in Austin.

 

[donaldtoo]

Hahaaa...!
Forgot to mention, I'm doin' another clothing store closer, and it's slow as heck here right now.
Sooo I'm tryin' to see how much more I can get caught up here on this desktop before I have to go home with just my phone, again...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

We only have Barnes & Noble too. Like yours its free standing. We used to have Borders also, which I liked the best. Our Barnes & Noble store has so much nook space, there is hardly any room left for books. So disappointing. We do have good news, our tiny library is moving to a new bigger place and will house more books! I can't wait.

I remember back when all the malls seemed to have both a Borders and a Walden.

 

[donaldtoo]

My ex still can't spell our daughter's middle name correctly.

Yow.

My lunch today sure as heck didn't look like that . . . I am so deprived.

Only my lunches in the summer are good. When the school year is in session it is leftovers or a ham sandwich.

 

[donaldtoo]

I'll bet that either @donaldtoo , or @Cesar R M has one of those new-fangled devices and would let you borrow theirs!

@StarWarsGirl95 and @Cesar R M are both probably a better bet than me, actually.
All I have is a jacked-up laptop and an old iPhone...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Bubble and squeak's main ingredients are potatoes and Brussels sprouts with whatever leftover vegetables are on hand.

Oh my. Am I ever in...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

oops no! Nor my maiden or married name, or the name I'm most commonly called by!

 

[donaldtoo]

My older ds loves fattier cuts of meat

 

[Goofyernmost]

This is the one I own. I have a white beard so it all blends together. I get a lot of comments on it, so @JenniferS mind your Canadian manners and don't say something nasty.

Just don't let @Gabe1 top her antenna with you when you're wearin' it...!

 

[JenniferS]

Oh, yum!

 

[donaldtoo]

You and DWifey have raised two lovely daughters. Their kindness and generosity reflects directly on the both of you, and the caring examples you've practiced.

Thank you!
Looks like we may have done a few things right, anyway.

Called it!

If it makes you feel any better, Hubby has an orange Goofy one, just like these.

 

[donaldtoo]

Nope. That's Teri C.
Thanks though, I always thought she was the prettiest girl in class when we were younger.

If it's any help ... my Mom was either 9 months pregnant, or actually in the hospital for 10 days (yes, that's how long they kept you back then), so I clearly dressed myself that morning.

OK, in all fairness, I do remember skimming one post on here that said which one is you, but, since it was so long ago, I honestly don't remember . Plus this is the first time I've gotten to see it on anything besides my phone.
Sooo...
To me, it looks like you are front row, second from left. That just looks like a kid version of your face, to me...?

 

[donaldtoo]

Maybe take some Advil or aspirin (NSAIDS help inflammation to go down). A few weeks ago, I was walking through the woods and twice I twisted my left ankle, which in turn messed up my left knee. It's still not right yet. So, to recap, that's you, @JenniferS and me that are currently on the disabled list. (I suppose no one else wants to join us? )

Pass.

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty folks, time for me to shutter this joint for the night...
Hope to "see" y'all from the ranch in a bit...!
I be gonnnnnnne..!!!

I finally got a new Laptop today, but I will have to get used to the new keyboard.
