Rocky style?

Your gif makes me so happy. This was one of my most favourite set of movies. I could watch it over and over.

Then I change my answer: other than Disney and Pixar movies, I don't go out of my way to see animated films. Pretty much unless someone else wants to see the movie. Which is how I ended up seeing The Lorax.

I loved The Lorax. Am I the only one?

WOW! Beautiful painting, Bets...!!!
I remember you talking about art being your favorite subject! You have a keen eye...!

Never saw either one of those, nope. Outside of Disney, I own all of the Shrek movies and Puss in Boots. I also saw Megamind and the Lorax. Both of those were cute. Basically, my mom and I watched Shrek when it first came on TV and then went out and bought the DVD. I love the Shrek movies, especially when they brought on Puss. I love Puss.

As far as movies go, I don't go to a lot of movies because they are expensive, so sometimes I just buy them on DVD. As a result, I end up missing quite a few movies unless there's something that really appeals to me (I've seen most of the Marvels, for instance) or I wait for a lot of them to come to Netflix or on TV. But then again, I tend to go more for live action movies than animation, outside of Disney/Pixar. Nothing against them; that's just the way I am, and to be honest, I rarely even think about them.

Shrek was one of my favourites. I think it rivals any Pixar movie. The sequels? Not so much.

Except for Shrek 2. And that is mostly because of Puss.

That looks delicious. Is it eggy like a quiche?

Have you ever had twice-baked potatoes?! They're baked potatoes, and then they scoop out the potato and mash it up with delicious ingredients. Let's add those to our delicious veggie list! Check out this recipe from Trish Yearwood via the Food Network:

Love twice-bakeds! You get the yummy flavour of a baked potatoe and then some. I love how it keeps the potatoe moist.

It was cute. Though I would have enjoyed it more had it been live action and had Zac Efron taken his shirt off.

That might not be as appropriate for kids, though.

Does turkey meatloaf really taste good? I'm only asking because the few times I've had it in a few places, I didn't like it. I use bison in our meatloaf. My guess is DWifey must have a secret recipe that makes it taste good.

Turkey can work really well for meatloaves and lasagna. But you can't just replace the ground beef with it. You have to be sure to add in some fat, because ground turkey is obviously much drier. Also, you need to use slightly different spices to compliment the turkey. You are right...I have had it some places and it has been like sawdust and just tasted off.

Until there's more research done on using peanut butter, I wouldn't put too much weight in it, since there's only been 2 studies so far (that I could find) and they dispute each other.

I guess I don't know how it would be all that helpful even if it is true. You would still have to go in and get tested. They aren't going to start treating you just because you say you have done this test. It is interesting how the brain works though.

Not sure. I found it on the interwebs.
But, to me, the eggier the better...!

Speaking of games, I'm out to do the next peggle challenge, 950,000 points. Then on to a million!

I have never heard of Peggle? Does it have anything to do with cribbage?

Oh no, these are the best donuts on the PLANET, in the town I went to high school in, 8 miles down the road... View attachment 118286

That's so funny, I love it! Does anyone else besides me crave pizza, this time of year!. Bring on the dough, and olive oil, toppings are the options!

Funny you should say that, Bets! I have been craving pizza like crazy for a couple of weeks. We got some on Saturday and, even after eating it, I still want more. Maybe it's because it's cold and pizza is nice and hot and hearty? I dunno.

You know how I love naps! Sweet dreams @figmentfan423!

I have been fighting this darn cold for over a week but then this afternoon, I just fell asleep without much warning and slept for like 4 hours and am finally starting to feel a lot better. I had tried to rest all week but had trouble sleeping because I can't sleep very well when I'm all stuffed up. The body knows what it needs!

Let us know what grade you get on that paper!!

I will. It also made me graph a process for improving the system (note: although I am good with computers, I am not an IT person, so take what you will from this). I stuck with 3 FPs per day for the sake of the exercise, but added an option to select two parks per day. I also had it change it so you're not forced to book 3 per day. I also had it do preferences so that more experienced guests can book the times individually instead of having them listed as Option 1, Option 2, etc. (I know when I book FP+s, I select one option that works for me for one attraction and then fix the other two). I also had it put the date selection, park selection, and party selection on one page. I figure fewer clicks=fewer errors.

The technology actually working is a separate issue.

Also, reading these boards has helped with school work multiple times. Whoda thunk?

Thanks for your review, my DD told me never to watch it. I couldn't take kids abuse, having been through that myself. Not family. I'm glad she watches over me. She knows the topics I can't take. I have a great DD, so thankful for her!

There's no child abuse at all in Inside Out. It is a realistic look at how a child feels when things in her life begin to change. I thought it was fabulous. I think we send the message to kids all the time that they have to happy and that any other feelings are bad. So they never learn how to deal with their emotions in a healthy way and become broken adults who just bury things. And it's not a depressing movie. I laughed more than I cried...but I did cry.

No secret. She seasons it just like the beef version. It's not complicated. And, it tastes awesome.
