Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

She tried to explain to me what "crossroads" were. Yes, lady, I get it, but trust me - they are NOT HERE!!!

 

[funnygarcia]

oh yeah... the choc covered banana was good.

Not as good as DL chiquita branded ones, but still yummoliciousness. Maybe if I bury them in the bottom of my deep freeze? (It was a consistency issue, like almost too ripe of a banana.. melty squishy a little too fast.)

 

[dizzyami]

ahh, but does the almighty computer recognize your address?
For some reason mine does not exist on certain networks.

I couldn't order online for Pizza Hut (coupon deal) because it tried to place me in a city 100 miles away...grrrr.
Or it changes my county road to county route... umm nooooo that's not it.
Or placed me on another (albeit nearby) county road... still not it.

The roads were named long ago, we have county roads D, E, E2, H, I ..... all of them not what you would consider rural. I have a major snow emergency route at my street corner, lots of cars trolling thu the intersection every hour of the day.

Pizza delivery - you are a funny lady!!! At least now we can order from Dominoes and have it delivered . Our Pizza Hut doesn't even deliver

Programs like Mapquest take you to I-5, near my house, but then put a big exclamation mark and say...WARNING, there are 4 miles between the end of this map and your destination.

Which of course leads me to ask the obvious question...if the computer program knows how far it is to my house from the freeway, why can't it just give the directions?

I also have the problem of living in a town that is split by 2 different counties. I live in Cowlitz County, but there is an address identical to mine in Clark County, across the river. Many of the programs lead you to that other address. Then to add to the confusion, our county changed our street name and address about 4 years ago. But apparently once your address is in a computer program...well good luck trying to change it.

Pizza Hut?? Dominoes?? Boy that is just a dream for me. No large pizza chains here. Sadly, no pizza delivery either.

Sounds yummy. Every once in a while I get the chocolate banana dip that is sold in the produce department and make my own frozen chocolate bananas.

I'm sitting here eating Mickey Pretzels...you know your vacation is over when the bag of Mickey Pretzels you bought for the plane ride home is almost gone.

So why do Mickey Pretzels only cost $2.49 for a big bag? It is really a bargain for Disney.

 

[sameyeyam]

Maybe I shouldn't have typed that on a public forum. Next time I go to Disney they will probably cost $5 a bag.

We decided Trader Joe's is in the good for you junk food category of shopping, fun to find little treasures that we can't find at our local grocery chain (or not quite as healthy, inexpensive, or as good as Trader Joe's brand).
Eventually we will find our faves and make it a regular shopping trip.






I know Pix and Sara shop at Tj"s.. any faves to share???

I've been going to Whole Foods recently. I noticed that some items have dropped in price (such as their fruit) and sometimes they have bargains on items.

At Trader Joe's I like their seedless grapes, my favorite cheese is also carried there: Cotswold. It's delicious! I buy it at Whole Foods sometimes because they sell it in a small hunk and the one at Trader Joe's is cheaper but the hunk is too big. Okay, did I just make cheese sound like a hunk-o-licious man? They also sell good chocolate chunk cookies.

Hi Guys. Just logged onto Facebook and found that one of the Komen ladies was re-diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. That means the cancer has spread to her bones. Her kids are 8 & 11. It just breaks my heart to hear that news. It seems like everytime that I try to get on with my life and distance myself from breast cancer, another one of my friends or Komen friends gets diagnosed. When I read her post I felt like it just ripped my insides out, I don't know any other way to describe it. It just makes me feel like that day that I was diagnosed, I don't know whether to cry or scream or both or what.

I haven't posted on Komen message board for a couple of months. I felt like I just needed to take a break. But every time that I do, something like this happens and I feel like I need to go back.

Sorry, I'm just rambling. I don't even know this lady real well and I'm sitting here crying. To tell the truth I guess it just scares me.

It's scary to me too.

We made a trek out to the closest Trader Joe's this morning... busy shopping area. Lots of people roaming the store, looking for goodies.

I LOVE the chili mangos! I used to get them at the mexican market but they are so much better and cheaper at Trader Joes. We do most of out shopping at Trader Joes, fruits and veggie, organic milk. I love their Salsa Verde, DBF like the frozen fish that come pre-marinated. Two buck Chuck, trail mix, it's all good.

Maybe I shouldn't have typed that on a public forum. Next time I go to Disney they will probably cost $5 a bag.

Good Morning Everyone,

I can't believe the weekend is over I'm happy that we get this Friday off of work (Good Friday). I probably won't be hitting DL because I'm almost certain it will be packed.

We have the exterminator coming to the house today. This means I will have to wash our bed sheets and bath towels when I get home.

On Saturday my bf and I went to Universal Citywalk. I was sad to see that Cafe Tu Tu Tango had closed down That was one of my favorite restaraunts. There were a few stores in Citywalk that closed. They used to have a Nascar arcade racing place but it's now been replaced by a candy store called Sugar. We decided to eat at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. instead.

Yesterday my bf and I watched Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D yesterday. The movie had some funny parts, it actually wasn't bad. I noticed that one of the characters had a badge/pin of Shrek on his uniform.

After the movie we were trying to figure out where to eat. We had not eaten all day and it was already 5pm. A lot of restaraunts were either closed on Sunday's or out of business. We went over to Famous Dave's but there were a lot of people waiting for a table out front. We decided to just eat at Island's instead.

I've never been to Islands. What type of food do they have there? We went to Red Robin last night and the food was terrible. So was the service. We complained to the manager and he comped up our meal. But we didn't even eat the food it so it didn't matter anyway.

Island's has burgers. Here's a link to their menu: http://www.islandsrestaurants.com/menu/ and you could also check out locations (maybe there is one close to you).

There food is okay. I don't like Red Robin either. I'm not a fan of their food and I don't think it tastes good.

For those of you on facebook, I uploaded a short clip of me playing Apologize by One Republic on the piano.

Hi Guys! Just dumped spaghetti all over myself. Our microwave at work sits up high, the shelf is next to the fridge and is 5' tall. So as you can imagine I have to be careful when taking things out of the microwave.

Anyway, I heat up my spaghetti, carefully putting a paper plate over the top so it doesn't splatter all over while heating. I grab the paper plate off and it seems that half of the spaghetti decided to cling to the top of the paper plate. It came down in big chunks all over in my hair, down my shirt, down the crotch of my pants before landing on the floor. Uggh, what a mess! But oh so funny at the same time.

 

[sameyeyam]

I'm off to watch Pixster bust a move on the piano.

 

[sameyeyam]

Nice Pix, very nice.

Hi girls. K, I'm going to make a facebook account as soon as I'm done my toast. If I don't forget.

My friend is 8 days overdue with her baby, she's going in for some stretching stuff today so hopefully she has that baby tonight! I think everyone is more excited than she is, unless she's just good at hiding her excitement.

That's all I have to say. I hope you're doing snazzy.
