Isn't it sad how Best Buy only has one half isle dedicated to CDs and two more for movies (both sides)?

What was the last 20%? I think most of my classes were weighted more towards the homework side than exams. I did have one class for which it was exclusively exams. There were no homework assignments and everything on the exams was taken directly from the professor's notes. As long as you went to class and took notes, you were golden. It was known as a weedout course because so many people flunked it, but those were people who didn't bother coming to class or studying the notes. I never even OPENED my textbook and I aced the first 2 tests and got a 99% on the 3rd. And I had one day that I was feeling really burned out, so I went to the professor, told him I needed a day off, asked if it would be ok to miss his class if I got the notes from a classmate. He said he appreciated the fact that I was always in his class and made an effort to study, so he not only gave me the day off but gave me HIS notes to copy. He was pretty awesome.

the other 20% was attending and make the in-school work (like projects and group projects)

Yeah, the salad sounded really good but was terrible. The dressing was really sweet and way overdressed.

you should have asked for an outfit change.

Sorry, all of a sudden I cannot post pictures or edit my posts.

sounds like that the company you're connecting from, does not allow for attachment files.

It happens when you visit hotels or certain airports.
they put restrictions.
You can browse, but you cannot send files.

Nice one!

Yes, she is. Although she's had 5 babies, so she's still trying to lose the baby fat.

Yum, yum, yum!! Hey, whatever happened to fondue anyway? It used to be very popular years ago and somewhat fell out of style, I guess--except for Madison. Maybe Madison will revive the trend, and it will become popular again. (If not, I just might have to move there . . . )

I used to love it years ago, and I often would "lose" the piece of bread (or whatever) on the little fork when I dipped it into the hot cheese pot! Ha ha ha . . . I was a bit of a fondue failure, but it was still fun!!

I think we have Melting Pots out here - I've always wanted to go to one. Sounds delish!

I understand , why does weight go on so easily and so hard to lose? I'm still good for the bike, I rode 2 hours yesterday, while watching the cooking shows on PBS create, that @figmentfan423 mentioned. I wish now, I had recorded the shows, lots of good tips and ideas for vegetarian, or more veggies .

This isn't a veggie solution, but a co-worker said that when your weight loss plateaus to eat a nice steak one night and it will "reset" your body so weight loss continues.

Last day in Venice. Tomorrow off to Rome.

Yay, Rome! Say hi to the Colosseum for me - that was one of the things I thought would be bigger.

I have to admit after a couple bad experiences I never went back. I noticed we don't have a farmer's market at that location anymore. Now, some of our grocery stores have a bulk bin, with stuff the farmer's have brought in. Much cheaper, and dirtier. I figure I can clean and do my own cutting. Saves a few cents on the pound.

Weird, I would have thought farming in Colorado would be relatively decent, with all that nice land.

I won't touch that one

 

[catmom46]

No , I'm in your league. I've never had the pleasure!

I wasn't interested in Harry Potter at first, but then I caught one of the movies on TV and got hooked. Not enough to read the books, but enough to buy the complete collection on Blu-ray. I just love how complex the story and characters are, plus all that detail is insane!

 

[catmom46]

I don't know why people don't fondue more, it is delicious. The Melting Pot is a chain, but I don't know how widespread they are across the country. Maybe Disney Springs will get one. I think that the lounge at Wilderness Lodge offers a fondue. I might have to check it out in November.

Yes, it's on the menu currently!

Oregon Pinot Gris Fondue ($12)- Pretzel Bread, Grapes on the Vines

No need, @MR FERRET already did. OK, that didn't sound any better.

Me too, after 45 years!

Too short of a growing season east of the Divide. West, yes. Funny we only get Colorado grown veggies once in a while. Most come from other places. We do have very nice peaches, and corn....very yummy. Can't do either anymore. Our tomato's bake on the vine, and we have very much clay soil. And little humidity, on this side (except this summer). I frankly don't know how farmer's do it anymore. The weather is extremely unpredictable. I tried onion sets. The easiest thing to grown in a pot in potting soil. They were almost so hard, I had a hard time cutting them. And I didn't leave them in the pot too long. I never had a problem growing all kinds of veggies in Kansas or Indiana. Much more humidity there. Maybe, I don't know how to grow them out here.
