Morning all! Lovely weekend here, started out with Cheesecake Factory + chocolate chip cheesecake, then spent day with spawn @ the local fair. Ran into the county 'party' chairman and came home with a bunch of election signs I promised to get placed prominently around town.
Had to carry them back to our car. Now, I'm the sort that enjoys politics as much as sports. Healthy conversations, and encourage people to vote, regardless of their party affiliation. I have learned not to start the conversation socially, same as with religion. To each their own kwim?
Let me tell you, I was absolutely shocked as to the stuff people were shouting to us as we walked. Enough to make a sailor blush. I've been a committee woman for years and have lost count of voting registrations/rallies I've worked. Never, have I seen such venom and divisiveness as this year. You kiss your momma with that mouth?

Here's a pic of hubbys cactus. I think they are called queens of the night. The blooms open at night then close in the morning. Was able to catch the blooms before they closed.
Had some visitors

Had to look twice, thought they were variation of my beloved lawn flamingos!
He was, and I'm thinking wa or recluse based on how fast the swelling was. We're in the city so thankfully no poisonous snakes (or at least highly unlikely).
Oh my, glad he's on the mind. Well, I've seen some poisonous two-legged city snakes...
It rained everywhere the past week except where I live
Back to watering again now that I am home
Have a busy week ahead and no rush to handle what needs to be done
I love to have a simple life so I could waste my time
One of the advantages of not working
Lol
Schumi, I loved your two minionions!
So cute!!!
Too bad u couldn't have brought some of that water back with you.
My dad's a buckeye. They're not all bad
Their stadium is OMG. Such a big program and it was literally crumbling last time we were there...those old cement seats. If they haven't started a renovation, they need to - soon
I have never seen anything like these lights. They are only $ 19.95. Of course I had to push all the buttons and check them out...LOL

Scary skulls are $ 29.95
Big lots has too. I've scoped out spirit, not exactly impressed this year. Many of the exact same products as Big Lots but at least 1/3 $ more. Haven't tried those lights, tempted. Not sure how close you have to be to the wall. I liked the bat one
I didn't know I had some Dawg Homies here!
@tink1957 @tinydancer09 Although i am a dawg fan by proxy (hubby graduated from UGA). I graduated from Notre Dame
@Robo56 (i feel like we have had a conversation about this a few years ago) and am Irish all way! But i do love my dawgs and am excited to see what Kirby can do this year. As far as the Irish...well, i had to switch from prosecco to bourbon at the end. but i still #lovetheenotredame! and if we had to lose, at least we lost to a former ND coach. Coach Strong coached when i was there.
in other news... got a Big Green Egg for hubby as an early birthday gift!
glad to hear you are back in your own bed
@macraven
ummmm
@SharkyGoddess when i first read your post i thought you said his EYE split!
so happy to find out it was a cheek and not an eyeball. and no - like
@schumigirl i am most definitely NOT googling wolf worm. glad sharkypup is feeling better.
Most old-skool Catholics are hard-wired to root for ND as a 2nd team lol. My DH is of the rooting for any skool that is playing ND to yank my chain. Oldest DS hooks 'dem horns. I'm still living down the game, sigh.
When Janet sees those Halloween things, bet she will be in that store
She does Halloween up big time in her yard
Oh yeahhhhhh
geez....i just looked on my phone and it says 68 during the night.
we are gonna freeze.......lol
but 93 tuesday and the nights for the rest of the week will be 70
so much better when i lived in northern illinois.
i'll take ga weather any day or night....
just booked my season passes for six flags over georgia.
now looking to book a hotel for a fright fest weekend in october for that short 2 day mini trip.
always did the six flags over great america in the past years for fright fest and would hit six flags mid america in st louis some years.
last year went and stayed in st louis 4 days after i returned home from florida trip for their fright fest.
was going to renew the st louis season pass but it was only a $3 savings to do that instead of a new pass for Ga.
Ga includes the parking pass with the Flash sale i booked under.
and also planning another drive to bushnell for november 7th
december will be boring with no trips ......
That is cold for your neck of woods! Supposed to get to high 80's here this week woohoo
Oooh . . . Discovery Cove all-inclusive does look like fun. I've never done DC. And as I was always thinking of with-kids, I had to multiply it by 5 so I never clicked on the all-inclusive package price. Maybe I should save up and leave the kids at home.
That would save a lot of money.
Haha, I cried first time I did a trip to MCO without my kids.
Silly me
keishashadow/janet goes to DC a lot.
you need to pick her brain for the lowdown of the place.
i have no idea where that girl is right now.
she is late in reporting here...........
and she needs to read about the halloweensale at lowes....
Missed the lowes sale, may have to drive by today when out to provision. WM sent me a $10 code off the drive by grocery pickup service...wonder if that includes decorations lol.
Yes, I've gone to DC relatively often over the last 15 years. Expert - well, maybe, in the way I roll lol. Anybody who self-proclaims themselves to be one usually is far from it imo
I hang back here on SW stuff usually, takes a lot of effort to repetitively post it out so extensively.
OT (is that an oxymoron on this thread haha) - so glad to see MAC has implemented stickies to help corral the typically-asked questions, pictures, etc as to easy reference!!! Thanks! Makes the boards easier to browse.
If I see somewhere I can chime in, especially with a slightly different take than the Kool-Aid effect that tends to crop up here with all the parks, then I do. Have APs for WDW/U/SW&A. Wouldn't if I didn't enjoy them all, but see room for improvement in every one of them. Too bad no powers that be have asked my 2 cents other than via random surveys.
I do tend to do DC on as much of 'a dime' as possible vs many who spend $$$ on all the extras, just made sense after doing it a few times. Always like to have a little seed money in the vacation folder for the next trip...never know when those $39 fares to Orlando will crop up!
My main hint for those trying to do DC cheap is to plan out early. Look for the Black Friday deals, last few years a few different offers, including a BOGO SW or SW/A combo, etc. APs. There have been heavily discounted (as in over $100 pp) days available to book.
Not a place I ever go, so know nothing about it........
Couple have gone to Mexico, one is in her villa in Spain and 2 are in America in various places........so it's just me this morning........few last minute items I'm sure I don't need..........
Heck, Gina and Keisha should get paid by Busch for all the selling they do! LOL 
. Having my coffee this morning 
yum. Going to do some Halloween decorating today. Get me in the mood for For
