That's exactly it...why not just improve what's already there and make it worth it for guests to go there? Why invest tons of money in overhauling things that don't need it when there are other things that DO? It seems like a bad business move to me.

I think they should hire us. We'd save them tons of money on the remodels alone.

My baby is 5' 10'' with a 10 1/2 foot. Wanna trade?

It is hard to be the same height when you are a girl. My DD is very self conscious about it. Luckily her feet aren't that big. It is hard enough finding shoes that are very narrow, but still fit toe to heel.

Have you never had Tuna casserole? It's one of the few ways I will actually eat fish. Don't try to give me a tuna sandwich...even the smell of tuna is enough to make me gag, but for some reason I actually like Tuna casserole...don't think I've ever had it WITHOUT crushed potato chips sprinkled on the top. I'll eat Tuna casserole, and I'll eat battered and fried Cod...that's pretty much the extent of my fish tolerance.

Not for me. I hate tuna and mayo, equally.

Rain woke me up early, and everything is soaked again. The pond across the street is back, and so are the ducks. The back yard is back to swamp status.

@Mr Ferret 88 I just watched your MK video, and I love Donna's HM print. Is that a dress, or top?

And what did happen to your avatar?

That was me last night. Around 3 a.m. I smelled skunk outside for about ten minutes. Blah! Then at 4 I smelled it again...and it lingered. At 4:30 I get up and look out the window and it's grazing on the flower buds in my yard by my window. I knocked on the window and it looked around, ate some more then ambled on. The smell stayed.

I blame ground hogs (which we have a lot of) because ground hogs and skunks often live in the same burrow.

I LOVE the smell of skunk, but not near my house!

You can have Jasmine. When ours was first home as a pup, and we were trying to come up with a name, my DH said Princess Jasmine. I looked at him and he said this family is so Disney crazy, has to be a princess. Now, she often gets called Jazzy, for short. Interestingly, that started before DS started playing jazz.

I already had Belle, which was less about Disney and more because when we couldn't figure out her name, we called her pretty girl, so we went with Belle because it means beauty. So then since she already had a Disney name, I decided her buddy would also have a Disney name to match. Since I got another female, I decided to go with a princess name. And since I am soooo creative, I went with Jasmine because Jasmine has black hair, and my Jasmine has black fur.

My mom wanted to nickname her Jazzy. I vetoed that pretty quickly...

When she was a small pup, I really wanted to get a picture of Princess Jasmine with Princess Jasmine. Disney costumes for dogs were a big thing that year, but no Jasmine costume. She is pretty scrappy, I can't imagine she would stay in it very long, now. She does have a Minnie Mouse collar, though.

I agree!! I think they should come look at the forums and they can kind of gauge what the reaction might be to some of their ideas. Smart businesses to market research into the needs/desires of their prospective clients/customers.

So do I...but I've never had tuna casserole with mayo in it...it was always tuna, cream of mushroom soup, and cheese with potato chip crumbs on the top. My mom DID put mayo in Tuna salad, which I won't touch with a 10 foot ANYTHING.

There's no way I could ever get either of my cats to wear a costume. Belle had a collar. She broke it the first week we had her. Didn't try that again. I haven't bothered with Jasmine; she's microchipped. That, and they're cats. Cats and costumes do not go together.

But...who asks someone else to cook for their party unless it's someone who has a catering business? Like...I would never ask my friends to cook for a party I'm hosting. It's one thing if someone offers to make a particular dish that I've said I loved in the past, or if it's a pot luck where everyone is bringing something, but just to be like, oh, hey, I'm having this party...would your wife be willing to handle the food?....um no.

Sure, unless they were paying you for it, it is so wrong.

Right? If my husband did that to me, I'd be like "I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for your OTHER wife, which you obviously have, because I know you wouldn't be stupid enough to think -I- would do it without you even asking first."

It's wayyyy worse than that. Usually I don't mind but a little more notice and NOT this weekend. At least one is postponed

My afternoon shopping might be postponed, too. It is warm enough temp wise to be rain right now, but should be switching to snow, soon. With ice underneath the snow, I'll just stay put, if I can. Despite it being warm enough for rain, Real feel temp is 18. Oh little Ground Hog...

Stay safe my friend

The stores were amusing today. While everybody else was buying eggs, bread, milk and lunch meat I had 2 cases of broccoli in one cart.

There is little hope of school being open tomorrow. I picked up a few things at the library and was told they will be closed tomorrow and to call first if I wish to go Monday or Tuesday. My friend who's child gets picked up by van was told to expect a call anytime after 5 This storm is looking worse by the minute up here. Come here little groundhog I have my nice warm 12 quart pots out.

Oh noo! Good luck! Hope it isn’t as bad as they are calling for it to be.

We have heavy rain and winds are supposed to get up to 60 mph gusts through Sat. Well, there goes the weekend!
