Somebody wants to do a little pricing....

I think so!

 

[87Heel]

I missed this. Are you talking about skittles?

No, this was Dots. Or temporary fillings, as I call them.
Oh, and Skittles? DS thinks they are called "Taste the Rainbows." (What, watch much TV??) The secretary at DD's school loves Walt and keeps a stash of Skittles for him whenever I have to drag him to school for a project!

I think I don't like cherry flavored things because I had too many sucrets for children as a kid.

Aren't those the worst???

 

[lbgraves]

Becka, I think you may have skimmed through those posts a bit too fast or cheated!

MTE! She didn't pass the test.

Andy - Ken said that it is about $100./hr to rent a plane to learn to fly - that is probably for a 152. Then it is another $30-40/hr for a flight instructor.

I think the insurance on most flying clubs does not allow student pilots but you can join one and get your instrument rating. Then you get a members rate for the plane rental.

Buying your own is an option because you can buy an older plane for the cost of a motorcycle, of course cheaper if you share. The tie down fees are pretty expensive though depending on the airport and so is the annual maintenance required by the FAA.

It's a pricey hobby like a boat or horses but lots of fun.

The local costs are $125 for a 172 and like $35 and hour for the instructor. I figure it'll be in the 5000-6000 range. As far as owning, it seems expensive to buy a used one. I was reading a used plane magaznine and they are going for 60-70,000 for a Cessna..I have a magazine showing the newer small plane models and I could get one for 15,000....maybe wings don't come with that model... . The flight schools here offer loans or deferred payment but I'm not sure if its worth messing with our credit...have to weigh the options, flying or Disney...its gonna be rough. Wait, how about FLYING to DISNEY! Yes, Yes! That's it! The pieces are falling into place....

we have cheetos and other generic brands, I had just not heard of Jax. Speaking of this do you all spring for the high dollar paper towels or do you go for the bargin brand?

I buy the expensive ones when they are clearanced or on sale.

That earring obsessed fellow will make a poster as he runs for President with his 50 page manifesto of abhorrent behavior.

 

[lbgraves]

And one has to do with the other???

FYI ... I get what ever has the best sale at the time.

You need a paper towel when you eat them because they are so messy.

DD was just introduced to PB on toast. LOVED it!

Peaunt butter should NOT be warm....then again, Kristina thinks that a tuna melt is JUST WRONG (Tuna should not be warm! )

Good morning!

Haven't seen many kissed skunks on the side of the road!

I think she meant smooshed, not smooched...that makes it 10X worse...

 

[lbgraves]

Becka cheated! She did not read all the posts!

One thing I refuse to eat is yogurt. The thought of eating spoiled milk just can't let me get past it.

What!!?! yogurt rules! Now, Cottage Cheese, well, let's not go there....

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

I think so!

Obviously, that's all you women think of...can't a guy get some sleep?

 

[lbgraves]

Lisa, that dress is how I first connected with you, when you posted you were cruising with us, i told DM, " that little cinderella girl is cruising with me!"

So you just put up with me because she is cruising with me?

 

[lbgraves]

We're all 's until Becka corrupts us.

That's it! Everyone! Tell your DHs that are leary about crazy internet people that SHE is the only crazy one among us. The rest of us are safe.

 

[elaineteresa]

I lost my "pumpkin" in 1993.....

Were you guys talking about something else?

Becka - I'm amazed. Girl, you never kiss and tell,

Confession Time:
I steal the Dots from my kids trick or treat bags.

 

[lbgraves]

She wanted to stop the insanity vs. winding us all up. Wasn't I suppose to be leaving...

That's what I was just thinking.

 

[lbgraves]

Can't find DW huh??

Maybe she has gone out to feed the homeless with Amy?

 

[elaineteresa]

no Peeps are anytime candy - they have them for most holidays now - halloween, valentines etc. Have you seen the kits where they let you add icing in your own design?

the kids like to design them then I throw them out - LOL.
