Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

The meal deal is worth it if you know the prices of the food.
If you buy the higher end meal at ioa potter restaurant, you do come out ahead if you go with the snack that is at a higher price.

That is how i use it when i buy a meal deal.

 

[Lynne G]

I'm with Mac, Chuckers. I only buy the meal deal if I want the most expensive meal, then the extra drink and snack are a nice cheap bonus. Otherwise, I show my AP, and pay with cash/credit card.

Spoiled Lil Roo. That's so funny MonyK. My one dog used to stomp up the stairs when you yelled at him. Wow, kid off to Disney so soon.

Mac, hope you got to the store before the rain. Now they are saying rain to start around 8 or 9. That's fine. I'll be sleeping through most of the rain. Wee bit of sun right now. How it's finding a break in the clouds I don't know. Tree is still saying rain is coming though.

 

[Chuckers]

Unfortunately, I don't have an AP. Although, I do want to eat at Mythos and I know that's not cheap. The thing is, with the money issues I've had lately with the car/ac/etc, if I keep it, I know that I have at least 2 meals a day while I am there that are paid for.

BTW @Lynne G: 1 month, 13 days, 15 hours, 40 minutes, 27 seconds. (or 44 days total...)

Chuckers - Another vote for worth it IF you know what you want and the numbers work out. Some people like knowing it's already paid for and aren't worried about it being worth it financially. Sometimes it can be worth it for less stress. As for us, we are number crunchers.

Schumi - Happy Retirement to Mr. Schumi! (Also, I like your sink picture. I need my sink fixed like that).

Lynne - Hope the rain cooperates!

Keisha - Happy Belated birthday to your son!

Mac- Do these runs out to the store mean you're improving getting yourself into shape for HHN?

Monykalyn - That's cute that she feels bad for taking a little money off to plan this for him.


It's Friday! I'm sitting here trying to get motivated to get child #2's school work done but she's playing very nicely with child #3 so it will wait. Child #2 often gets annoyed by child #3 so it looks like she'll be able to put off her school work as long as things are going well with her little brother. I'm headed out later for one of those painting party things. It's glass wear tonight. At least we can paint something functional tonight. Nothing planned this weekend yet - I've planned the next two weekends out though so it's nice to have an unplanned one. Not sure what we're doing. We need to eventually head over to Universal before Dragons closes. Middle child swears she's 54" now though she wasn't when we went on July 3rd and she grows in slow motion. (She's 11 years old and has been waiting years to be tall enough for Dragons and Hulk. It wasn't so bad until we moved here and all her younger friends had been tall enough for a while).

Hahahahahhahaha....

my runs are a 4-5 minute drive to walmart for bread, milk, eggs, snacks and diet mt dew for Mr Mac.....

we never decide what to have for dinner until the day of...
one of the joys of retirement and a very small fridge......

impossible to buy for an entire week of food and have it kept in the fridge.
freezer is smaller....

my regret of buying a house where a large fridge would not fit......
the kitchen has sections separated by wood

whoever created the kitchen floor plans, were more concerned with framing out the appliances with decoratitive wood instead of open space.

in order to gain a shelf in the fridge, i need to buy a fridge for the garage to hold his beer and diet mt dew.


thinking of doing that when he goes on vacation next month.
i'll tell him about it when he returns.

 

[Robo56]

Aww.. thanks... Now git off my lawn!

LOL....Might have to rethink the crotchety idea...

Are you gonna jump out a cake naked for the added surprise!

 

[Robo56]

Afternoon Sans family .

Happy birthday to your son Keisha

 

[Robo56]

Sad to say that my mom passed away in 2009 after a long battle with that terrible disease so she's at rest now.

Tink so sorry to hear about your mom



Keisha, your mom is blessed to have you looking out for her .

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks Kohlby.........we are so excited about early retirement from his business...........and yes, wouldn't that sink be fabulous!!! Yep, if kids are playing nice.......ignore work....... And hope your DD makes the rides.......will be so much fun for her.

mac........we have a wine/milk fridge in our kitchen, large fridge freezer in our utility, large fridge freezer and chest freezer in garage which is just off of utility room.........and we still run out of space at times.......lol......outside one is usually filled with beers and wine too........I'm sensing a pattern here....... But, handy when we go fill up with meat from wholesale butcher........go for it.......mr mac will thank you for it

And no, definitely no jumping out of cakes.......well, not me anyway.......lol........


Funny old day here........made a mess of moussaka for dinner tonight........thinly sliced potatoes weren't thinly sliced enough.......I blame the mandolin of course.......... so they were still not cooked properly after I baked it for usual time........binned the potatoes and ate the rest, still nice but I don't usually have a disaster like that........

Still........it's the weekend........

 

[keishashadow]

Nom nom, can't go wrong with chicken parm. Used to be my date food, always enough leftovers or dinner the next day hehe. Gave mine to kiddo who took for lunch. None of kids are spring chickies

Hahahahahhahaha....

As long as it's fully stocked when he gets home, probably won't be an issue.

Nice to hear, i try my best, it's akin to having another kid at this point. Do try to keep what i think her thots would be in mind when making those big decisions. My siblings abandoned her once her $ ran out, so sad, they'll be the ones making a big scene at the end I'm sure. Ah well, that's life isn't it? Make hay while the sun is shining

No big plans this weekend other than trying to put that 2nd week of October trip to bed. Cannot believe the lack of rooms at this point around Columbus Day holiday. Book early & often haha.

I'm spending Friday night listening to my old 12" vinyl records from the 1980s...yes...I still have a record player and they still sound as great as ever!

Now that's a Friday night!!!

We still have thousands of vinyl albums, singles and 12". I remember having to have the picture disc versions and coloured versions too when they came out too, even if I had the regular version......lol.....drove my mum mad! Might be worth a small fortune now........

Don't have a record player anymore though, but they're making a comeback apparently.........I need to get one......I have my Wham cd on right now........



Good Saturday morning......well, it's after midday here now........slept late and had pancakes and bacon around 2 hours ago, so not ready for any lunch. Think this may be a day to just graze........

Looks an ok day, got laundry on the lines outside, will be dry in no time.

Making Singapore style Chicken Chow Mein for dinner tonight.........extra spicy!

Have a great Saturday..........

 

[macraven]

I could smell that bacon carole


Delicious

I could smell that bacon carole


Delicious

It was lush.......

Even better when it gets cooked for you........

 

[macraven]

 

[Lynne G]

Bacon cheeseburgers and lush eggs with peppers and cheese. Lazy Saturday breakfast. Did not have steak, so burgers it is.

Morning homies.

 

[keishashadow]

Was going to skip breakfast but sorely tempted now lol

Never a good idea to go to grocery store hungry like the wolf

 

[wagman67]

Ugh.. I am still trying to decide if I should keep the meal plan or get it refunded to a gift card so I can use the money where I want..

I know what others have said, and if you plan to lock yourself into a specific corner, then go for it...me, I would cash in (or credit in, whichever is the better way to say it) and enjoy the food wherever I liked, without having to plan to trek across the park to save a few bucks. I used to love the Meal Deals...now, I don't go near them.

 

[Monykalyn]

Mm coffee. Nice days this weekend with much lower humidity and cooler temps. Hamburgers and hot dogs on grill this weekend-have to remember to get the bacon out too.

Lil Roo wouldn't stop crowing this am (was later-after 9 am) so DD finally went to hold him. COntent as a little bug in a rug. She's trying to finish her roommate gifts...

 

[schumigirl]

Oh Janet, never go grocery shopping while hungry!!! Make it a rule not too as I end up buying the whole store out of stuff I don't really need........

Monyk.......that is a cute picture! DD looks so cosy with chicken!! And food sounds good.......hope you have a fun time........and yep, don't forget the bacon



Minion movie no 3 wasn't great.........I wasn't keen on the 2nd one really, but they should have left it there. Some funny bits of course........but, wouldn't watch it again........

Planning a movie tonight, not sure which one though........may try the golden oldie Evil Dead since it's going to be at HHN...........
