Belly Up to the Bar With Bendy and Her Friendies!!! Button Pics & New Thread Started!

So when are we going to have this boozy chat? I've got time on July 11th ... :goodvibes

Wellllll.... there are a couple of birthdays right around that time so we could have us a real doozy of a party... I mean, chat!
 
Ahhhh Pimping Miss Bendy... the sequel to Driving Miss Daisy...

(and then I realized you were pimping someone totally different... :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: - I can't wait until the nyquil wears off... :rolleyes:)

:lmao: good thing I had swallowed my coffee before I read that :rotfl2:

I'm feeling better but not better if that makes sense. Not much pain or itchy / burning anymore but damn I am tired all the time. I don't usually take naps and I fell asleep twice on Saturday afternoon ... thank goodness I was only driving the sofa while watching the baseball game. :laughing:
It makes sense, here's hoping you feel better better soon!

And of course now I've got one of those stupid summer colds starting ... just in time to leave for WI and a whirlwind family visit over July 4th. :rolleyes:
those suck!

I noticed the DIS is not sending subscription updates any longer ... that seems to happen a lot. I'll try to remember to send out an APB ...
It's really weird, I'll get 'em occasionally but not like I used to.

So when are we going to have this boozy chat? I've got time on July 11th ... :goodvibes

I'll be on my way to the World on the 11th, I'll probably be boozy but won't be online
 
Hey Brenda & Friends!

I hope I am welcome to post here...

Thought of you guys the other night... Hubby and I attended "Iron Drink"... a Five Course meal with Beer AND Wine parings with EACH course. (Count 'em... that's 10 (!!!) beverage tastings). Basically we were to decide which paired best... wine or beer.

Had tons of fun and yummy food. Even found a few new beverages.

Man, I sure wish I could not pay my mortgage so I could go to the F&WF again this year. You guys sound like you are gonna have a ton-o-fun. (Do they make a "jealous" emoticon???)

Anyway... I have been lurking here for quite some time and wanted to say howdy.

Later Gater.
 
Oh, I totally have one. We met here, became best friends, and have now gone to the World together. It was fate.

Me too! FormrCastMbr (Lauren) and I met on the DIS, discovered we were twins and met at WDW last November. It was like catching up with a longtime friend, crazy!:goodvibes

Welcome!!!!!!

Add me to the boozy chat night!:cool1:

I consider the DIS to be such a blessing.

You know, I've been meaning to ask the Friendies. I'm in the middle of a trip report, and I was recently reminiscing about the lovely Pina Colava I had at the pool bar at CBR.

It was soooooooo good.

If this has been discussed before, forgive me, but does anyone know how to recreate that at home?

Welcome! Do you by any chance have any food porn from that? It sounds great!

Count me in for boozy chat night as well....as long as it's not a night when DH has to be on duty. Social services tends to frown upon drunken mothers at home alone with small children!:rotfl2:

Brenda, I hate to tell you this but the tiredness will last for a while....I think I was wiped out for about a month after my other symptoms disappeared.

That's funny ... you crack me up. :rotfl2: Feel better!

I'm still getting my notifications.. you might want to check your subscriptions in your PC up at the top left and see if you have them checked for notice...


& I just have my annual summer sinus infection -it's rained so much here my sinuses don't know what's what anymore... :confused3

:lmao: I never thought about it like that!

DIS-DOPPELGANGER!!! :rotfl2:

& you thought your parasitic twin didn't have a name... :rotfl: She's also writing great TR's!!!

:lmao: good thing I had swallowed my coffee before I read that :rotfl2:

Oh good.. .wouldn't want you to short out anything important... :surfweb:

Keep meaning to ask, where in NC are you?

I'd like to get 2 of the Homer pins!

I've done DCA's F&WF before, so at least I'm going in with some training.

I loved your DIS reviews .. Happy to see you here! :woohoo:

I have been way out of touch with not a lot to post that has been too fun (one sick kitty finally better and now one with a hurt leg from jumping off the bed! :guilty:)
We are getting ready to have 40 plus people here for the 4th of July parade I talked about sometime back in the day! I will post some pictures after!
I have loved all the wedding and past pictures everyone has put on! Too much fun to catch up with! :yay:

By the way .. IS IT October yet????:rolleyes:

Did you review the DCA Food and wine? Would love to see your take!
 
Thought I'd tempt you fine folks with some food porn from my recent weekend on Martha's Vineyard. These come courtesy of Water Street, a tapas place in a hotel that looks suspectly like the Yacht Club.
Here we have a slow roasted tomato, greens and local cheese

And here is the braised artichoke

More on point-have any of you eaten at Tchoup Tchoup at Universal Orlando? Is it worth it?
 
Oh, I totally have one. We met here, became best friends, and have now gone to the World together. It was fate.

Hey, I'm glad to hear you're feeling comparatively better, hon. :hug:

Thanks. Now if we could just win the lottery so that I could quit my job and not have to replace it with another job. :laughing:

Wellllll.... there are a couple of birthdays right around that time so we could have us a real doozy of a party... I mean, chat!

Could be verry interesting! ;)

It makes sense, here's hoping you feel better better soon!

Thanks Chelle!


I'll be on my way to the World on the 11th, I'll probably be boozy but won't be online

I don't think anyone here will begrudge you your vacation time, although we're probably all going to be a little envious. Meh, booze will help with that. :rotfl2:

Janice!!! :cool1: So glad you made it here and posted - of course you're welcome! :hug:

Your Iron Drink event sounds so cool ... any pictures you care to share?

Hey ... totally off topic (not that that's anything new) but are you still headed to Vegas next year?

Me too! FormrCastMbr (Lauren) and I met on the DIS, discovered we were twins and met at WDW last November. It was like catching up with a longtime friend, crazy!:goodvibes

Add me to the boozy chat night!:cool1:

suh-weet! Now we just have to figure out what everyone's drinking. :lmao:

I'm sorry TarzansKat ... I do not know how to recreate that drink. I bet if you asked ChelleinNC nicely she'd try to get you a recipe when she's in WDW in a few weeks. :goodvibes

Great Photos and yes! We have! Jason and I liked it a lot! Two years ago for lunch before the HHN event! I don't think they do lunch anymore but we had a great time. I have pictures someplace!

That's what I love about the friendies! :goodvibes

Brenda, I hate to tell you this but the tiredness will last for a while....I think I was wiped out for about a month after my other symptoms disappeared.

I'm sure we can work out a night that will be best for everyone ... or more than one night!

And thanks for the insight on the shingly tiredness ... my mom said the same thing you did. Oh well, I guess Jay will just have to get used to my being a delicate hothouse weed. :rotfl2:

I'm still getting my notifications.. you might want to check your subscriptions in your PC up at the top left and see if you have them checked for notice...


& I just have my annual summer sinus infection -it's rained so much here my sinuses don't know what's what anymore... :confused3

I don't worry much about the notifications because I just head straight to my subscription page when I come to the DIS to see what's been updated since my last visit, but that's good advice.

Sorry to hear about the sinus infection - I hate those.


& you thought your parasitic twin didn't have a name... :rotfl: She's also writing great TR's!!!

Don't scare the poor woman with too many comparisons to me or she'll run screaming from the DIS never to return. :laughing:

And yes ... her TR is a hoot! :thumbsup2


Wondering where you've been!!! :thumbsup2

Me, too; I just didn't want to be too pushy with the community thread. I figured if someone wanted to join in they would but I didn't want to to bug anyone about.

You most certainly belong here :flower3: Welcome

Ditto! :thumbsup2

Excellent! yes, I said that on purpose.

I will mark you down on the official list which is fast approaching 70 ... who'd a thunk?

KABUKI!!! You changed your avatar to Ren and I love love love it! I miss Ren and Stimpy ... one of my all-time favs after the Simpsons. :thumbsup2

I hope your kitties get better soon - I know it's been a tough year for you and for them. :hug:

And definitely post July 4th pics - I can't wait to see how everyone dresses up!

Did you review the DCA Food and wine? Would love to see your take!

Me too!

Hedy that looks terrific - thanks for sharing!

Jay and I had dinner at Tchoup Tchoup in May 2006 and it was fantastic - even better than Emeril's at CityWalk (which is still very very good).

Somewhere I have a link to a review I wrote ... gimme some time to dig it up and I'll post it here for you if you'd like to read it. No pics, though ... it was before I really got bitten by the food and booze and review bug.
 
Hey Brenda!

Thanks for the kind words on my kitties! Yes, it has been the year of the vet! So much for lets have inside cats so they will be healthy!! :idea:

Ren and Stimpy are some of our favs also! As you see - I love my Ren! :)
 
Thanks. Now if we could just win the lottery so that I could quit my job and not have to replace it with another job. :laughing:

I'm right there with ya, sister! :thumbsup2 That's my dream. Unfortunately, I don't buy lotto tickets, so that sort of puts a damper on that possibility. Perhaps it's time to start. I'm really not fond of my job. :lmao:


I'm sorry TarzansKat ... I do not know how to recreate that drink. I bet if you asked ChelleinNC nicely she'd try to get you a recipe when she's in WDW in a few weeks. :goodvibes


Thanks!

ChelleinNC???

HI!!!! :wave:

I'm not sure what your vice is...well, if you're here it's probably food :lmao:, but if there's anything that could be done to persuade you to procure that perfect recipe for that pina colava concoction, I would be most pleased. Not to mention grateful.

Did I use enough alliteration? :lmao:
