I happen to know that they are fine, upstanding, model citizens.

Well, at least the husband.

(Just kidding, luv ya, hon!)

I am under a gag order and cannot mention any past/present/future antics they may or may not have been party to. They are wonderful people..... (did I state that correctly Mike, I mean your honor?)

Yes, you got it verbatim. I owe you a Mickey bar. You can see my associate Captain Crash to collect it on the cruise.

We have a blizzard warning through tomorrow. I am so sick of this. We could get up to 14". DH has shoveled the driveway twice today already. Our city is under a level 2 snow emergency. Driving is not recommended. A lot of the cities have run out of salt for the roads.

Only 5 months until our cruise, only 5 months until our cruise, only 5 months until our cruise. That is my mantra. 90 degree weather sounds wonderful right now.

OMG My dd said you used the same graphic as her chemistry teacher today.

Do they really say Samoas on the box or do you just call them that, because that's what they used to be called?

They say Samoas. Samoas are made by the Little Brownie Bakery in Louisville, KY. Caramel DeLites are made by ABC Bakers in Richmond, VA.

Apparently the names are different depending on the baker:

Caramel deLites (ABC) : Samoas (LBB)
Peanut Butter Patties (ABC) : Tagalongs (LBB)
Shortbread (ABC) : Trefoils (LBB)
Thin Mints (ABC) : Thin Mints (LBB)
Peanut Butter Sandwich (ABC) : Do-Si-Do's (LBB)

Lemonades (ABC)
Cinna-Spins (ABC)
Thanks-A-Lot (ABC)

All-Abouts (LBB)
Sugar Free Chocolate Chips (LBB)
Lemon Chalet Cremes (LBB)


More than you wanted to know about GS Cookies.

Aww JR beat me to it...

I can get both here in Frederick. My co-worker lives in Hagerstown and her dd gets ABC ones.... Frederick is part of Nations Capital so gets LBB.

I didn't like the SF CHocolate chips but love the Cinna spins (15 cookies in a bag which only is 100 cal.)

You're never alone with us around..... We'll keep the dorothy/toto jokes to a minimum i promise...​

Tell us some bridezilla stories then Liz....

 

[GatheringNoMoss]

Science Alert

Question 1: What element is named after the Latin name for Copenhagen, Denmark?

A: Tantalum
B: Hafnium
C: Rhenium
D: Hassium

or so I think. My company makes / mines Tantalum so I am sure it is not that one.

It's Friday, I should not have to think about work until Monday!

 

[mkygrl]

I saw a mention of peeps in the microwave....and wanted to share this!


I do this project with my afterschool kids around easter and they love it! (parents do too because then they don't have too!)

We make S'meeps!

Basically they are S'mores except we use peeps instead of regular marshmallows!
They kids can choose whatever color they want and they build the bottom half (graham cracker,chocolate and peep) we micro and when it comes out they top with other cracker half!

Then after all the kids make one we put a row in (usually the chicks work better) and micro the entire row! They love seeing them go from normal to bizzare looking!

Yep. I still sometimes tell my kids to 'pick up the floor'. And my smart-add 14-year-old pretends to try to lift the rug.

(I think I've told the story about this being the kid, who when he was five, was banging his truck into the closet door and when I told him to stop banging his truck into the wall, he said "I'm not, I was hitting the door". I spanked his bottom and told him I wasn't hitting him, I was hitting his pants. He's a future lawyer.)

sounds like one of my brainiac kids

Ding, ding, ding you are correct Marian.

Now return to senseless fluff, I forgot it is Friday for some people.

But he was sleeping with her before that. Clarence Clemons was once quoted when asked about why the band broke up: "Should've never let girls join the band" in reference to Patti.

Personally, I don't think she was really Yoko Ono or anything, but I think some people always need someone to blame something on and she was convenient.

And how the heck did we get onto Bruce Springsteen? It's like an ADHD convention in here.

we were talking about thunder snow...it just went south from there

What do you think a nuked peep smushed between 2 thin mints would taste like? I'm thinkin good. What could I call this new concoction?

 

[radioclash2]

I guess that means I win! No lie, dr yesterday says that everything I am explaining to him about my foot points to gout. Tells me to watch my diet and quit eating red meat and drinking beer - are you kidding me? I eat red meat once in a blue moon and I never drink beer. Needless to say I was upset, he gave me some cortisone and did a blood test. I am awaiting results of the blood work and I am still in a lot of pain.

The doc had no sympathy for me whatesoever and I was bawling because one I was in immense pain and two he told me that basically I should give up my running because running will aggravate my foot - he stood there and looked at me bawling like a man does when he doesn't know what to do with a girl crying - no words of encouragement, nothing.

I hope he is right; that it is a Gout flare up because he tells me I should be walking on it and honestly it hurts too bad to walk on it at this point. I give the cortisone a day to work and we will see how it is. By Monday if I am not better I will be seeing another doctor. I just hope I am not doing more damage to my foot by trying to walk on it.

Anyways..........what do I win again????

winner gets foot pain. My youngest brother has gout. We siblings, of course, are merciless about his "old man" disease. (no offense to the old men or the gouty)(I learned on the main boards you can say what ever you want as long as you include a parenthetical "no offense")
