How do you like it (the restaurant)? I'm still watching every one else's reactions to see if it's worth it.

Hey! Sans family you have all been very busy lets see if I can get up to date

Tinyd has hairy car mats and her dog thinks she is a cat

Squirlz has been voted Samson by Mac and he likes crisps, chips and barbecued baby lamb

There is a gallbladder removal club

BagOLaughs likes talking about hot stuff

Schumi is sitting by the pool under a parasol drinking cocktails

Macs cats like late night TV

There was a test on biscuits vs cookies vs scones

Keishashadow is possibly couped up in Myrtle Beach being poked at....LOL.....her words.....


Tinks eating turkey

Marcie is feeding her sweet boys more sugar

And everyone in the south is sweltering including me

I think we definitely did it wrong. You can go and get food and dessert. Or get drinks. But all of them is just too much (calories, food, money).

It seemed like a "one and done" to us. Really, a Steak and Shake atmosphere (complete with zillions of screaming kids) vs. a bar. Food was about the same level (meaning "fine") for about 3 times the price. The drinks were fascinating just for the novelty, but at $32 each, you're not getting a lot of them. And although they advertise 60 oz for the goblets, I would say about 10 oz of that is the dried ice/sugar combo stuck to the bottom, 40 oz is ice, and there are maybe 10 oz of actual drink. We still had a very full glass of ice when done with all the drink.

They do have a lot of the novelty desserts too (fondue, frozen hot chocolate, etc.) that seemed pretty good. I'd recommend eating somewhere else (there are a ton of restaurants within walking distance - we should have gone to Yardhouse which we really enjoy) and then just stopping in and sitting at the bar and sharing a drink or dessert at Sugar Factory. The drink itself was just okay but with two boys they enjoyed the smoking part and playing with it. If Matt comes home again we may try with him once but can't imagine taking anyone else there. I'd recommend Yardhouse instead. (And I'm not a beer drinker).

Very quick drive by.

Won't be around for a few days or so. My best friend was rushed into hospital and has terminal cancer. Not sure how long she has, but not long.

We only found out today it was terminal. But when I saw her on Tuesday for her chemo I kind of suspected. Or at least thought it was more than she suggested. She didn't want to tell anyone, and didn't want to tell me before I went to NY in case it ruined my trip. I understand her reasons.

I love her kids like my own, so will be there for them too.

Thanks Mac for the hugs and wishes earlier.

Kinda sorts out priorities for me.

you have the strength and love to do it for her.

all are in my prayers.
and, its not just words i am writing here to you

I keep hearing it's *men* at best. We may just skip it.

I am so sorry schumi!

we are still in a drought.
about 20 minutes ago, black clouds covered our area and thunder could be heard.

5 minutes of all that rumbling and not a drop of rain.
sky is now sunny again.....drats.

Nobody can replace you Mac.. You are a very special lady.

Marciemi we only had sandwiches and the nonalcoholic version of the drink. It's a little cheaper. I told the grandchildren they could have either the drink or dessert and they picked the drink.

Your right it's one of those places where you have to make choices about which sweet concoction your going to have.

Eating a meal there having a drink and a dessert would be way to much. It is pricy, but for some odd reason that place seems to be very popular with the late teens and twenties group.

Carole you and your friend are in my prayers

 

[Monykalyn]

Ditto on the hugs Schumi!
Back from St louis and black clouds rolling in-already rained hard with sun shining...Went to City Museum and I am sore today! Not a museum for people who like peace and quiet and just looking at things-more like a Crossfit workout in disguise.
Watching the Cards annihilate the Mariners - 6? home runs by redbirds so far.

Better find some food for the kids before they revolt-
Oh-too late-they got themselves cereal!

Shout out to Carole...Prayers for comfort for your friend and her family....and dear friends like you.

Running 'round here in this sweltermesshellonearth...I don't know how Gage and I are gonna handle this week after next...1st Baltimore for 4 days...and then a "side trip" to Orlando for 4...maybe 5...or more days...(Depends on whetheror not momma can fend off the wolves here!). He desperately wants a final Disney Quest fix...and I have several unused-non expiring tix from past trips. As long as the AC is working in there, and I can find adequate places to plug in my chargers for binge watching something...I can entertain him for HOURS!

We're invited to a party with these cats this Saturday. They have turned their back yard into The Abusement Park. I'm excited and a little scared.
