Something About Nothing ... #12

A quickie, while looking for a dip in car rates lol

Krystal is similar to White Castle

Never had White Castle either, only site nearby closed when i was a tot. Do see them ‘boxed’ in freezer section @ aldis. Not brave enough to try

Chick fil a and bojangles we have many of them

Add on kfc also here

And Guthrie

I have been chicken’d out ...

I did try the southern chicken places listed above and that was enough to last me a lifetime once Monyk showed us her pet chicks

KFC makes me queasy but there is something about the taters, biscuits & gravy that hit the spot. My 2 oldest DS worked there as cooks, interestingly enough so did my DH, while in school. Washing the uniforms & the smell sorta turned me off it. I’d make my boys put their clothes outside on the porch until i washed them or whole house would smell of grease. The shoes stayed out there, basically white after a week.

CF - too far for fast food here. Don’t like waffle fries and often it’s being picketed. Nuff said there.

Always get confused is it Popeyes or bojangles where the seasoning on standard breading is what i consider ‘hot/spicy’. I normally use some hot sauce on mine anyway but it took me unaware once when i bought a bucket on the road. Again, neither in my burg.

We have lots of independent places here vs the chains. Fried chicken so good in even the grocery stores, it fitis the bill nicely without having to mess up the kitchen.

Hello Homies! Unfortunately the weekend is usually internet free with a few dips into the data plan or somebody else's WiFi...I missed a lot while at the lake house and it is what is is.

Oh Robbie! I watched the news report! Prayers for you and everyone involved. How scary...

Charade, If you grew up in my hometown I bet we would have had oodles in common and been best friends. Well except for the part where you would have had to have been born several decades before your were.

Robbie...Oh My...my weekend hiatus kind of caught me off guard. You're back! You are okay! I am so glad...

Well, I cancelled my entire fall 2018 trip to Orlando. Well, except...Portofino let me re-book for a year later applying the same deposit. I had to settle for a two queen room instead of the King that I previously booked because I decided that having back surgery magically upgrades me to club level. Well really it is me deciding that waiting another year is worth an upgrade. I already put the money in the vacation fund. So...who has stayed club level at Portofino??? I have checked and my seasonal passes will still be good for 2019.

I cancelled all the Disney stuff too but they couldn't do any future reservation stuff because...It is four days to early to make a Room Only Reservation at a WDW resort. Whatever

You are taking it very well, has to sting.

You are the 2nd person who mentioned that booking room only is four days off. I’d giggle but usually have to book at 11 months (toss in a few days early expecting to modify) in order to snag my DVC resorts/type of room. Mice in a maze lol.

Carole - there are times I think my better half tinkers around to escape the hubbub in the house lol

Of course the Disney person I cancelled with made sure to give me their name and seven digit extension number so I can call in FOUR days and book my room only reservation with Ray because he tried so hard to make it happen today. Whatever.
 
Well, finally got CB at almost the same rate as my offsite rate, so I am now onsite for October and August, though biting the bullet and staying at Portofino in August. Oh and of course, the one time I stay more than 8 nights with Loews in a year, and their reward program ends this year.

Ooh Keisha, any downward car rates? I wish, as both my August and October rates are significantly higher than last year. Thankfully, airfare was around the same rate.

Hehe, DH is watching Mirror Mirror with me, waiting out for the 10 o’clock news.
 
I think you misunderstood...My kids are all grown and I am the old one. Your story sounds so much like mine back in the day...Charade...I am 61. Born in 1956. Some of my kids are over 40. My point was, you remind me of myself in my old home town raising my 4 munchkins. I had your attitude, fortitude, and aptitude my dear. I swear we would have been those moms who got their kids off on the bus and gave each other a high five. Just Sayin....

I guess I should have asked how young do you think I am. Your post made it sound like you are so much older than I am. You could easily be my older sister. I have a brother who is 62.
 

I forgot to add Zaxby to the chicken places down here

If you love chicken, you will find many places in the South

Fear the dead is over now
Back in August it begins again
 
Finished watching Columbo and the 10:00pm news is almost over. Very early morning tomorrow so Good Night all!!

pattyw, you can start training later on how to be a night owl

LOL! I like to stay up late, but there's a lot of road construction by my work so I'm going into work by 7:00 to minimize my drive time stress! On a good note, I leave early!! Time for some wine!

@pattyw can you spare a little more wine? I am feeling sorry for myself having to cancel my entire 2018 vacation. Pour me a glass...I can toast us both.

Now it's a party! Here you go Agavegirl! I know it's tough to postpone a vacation (I never say cancel), but we'll be here to count down with you and drink as much wine as you want!!

I'm stocking up:

Robo......so lovely to see you post! We are all so glad to see you here! You are certainly missed when you aren’t here.....and continued good wishes for a quick recovery.........and I agree with Mac............very gentle hugs for now.....:grouphug:

Agavegirl.......so glad you got your vacation rescheduled, it’s tough to postpone though........Portofino Club Level always seems to get good reviews......we went over to see the manager a couple of times as we’ve known him years, and he showed us around.......everything looked lovely albeit the room is in need of an update........but, you won’t be disappointed, food is always well reviewed...........hope you’re doing ok........


Patty, that wall of wine looks like what my friends have affectionately labelled as my “wine cellar”.......it’s not a cellar by any means, but it’s a big walk in area we had shelved out and naturally where we store our wines......I wish I did have a wine cellar!! But I’m quite proud of my wine room..........Tom calls it our favourite room in the house......:laughing: it kinda is!!!

Mac you always get a level pour in our house........no one likes to get less than the other :rotfl: And yes we do check!!! Fried chicken isn’t great over here.........

Janet.......I doubt that........you have the nicest husband!!!



DS has two days vacation in today and tomorrow, but I’m still awake at usual time........wide awake! Everyone else is still asleep.........

Had some lemon tea already.........not sure what’s for breakfast yet........will wait till they’re all up.......

Sun seems to be shining..........our guy who helps in the garden comes today so hope it stays dry........lots need doing.......think we’re going to do a bit of shopping..........nice shopping!

Have a great Monday......
 
Hope your morning is going well today, Schumi, nice to have Kyle home for 2 days. Lemon tea, yes please. I just have plain.

.:laughing:

So, it's time for tea, and more tea. Cooler inside than I want, so hoping my day, and the rain, goes fast.

Little one's countdown is 4 and counting. Done on Thursday, and I will officially have a Senior high school student. :eek:

:hug: Robo, hope you are feeling less sore and aching today. Gentle hugs for today.

Oh, and

You inspired me to buy some new types of hot sauce this morning from our deli...….one looks positively nuclear!!!! Hope so...…..:D

I miss Mad Hattered…...he was a real expert on hot sauce if I remember correctly...….and a darn nice guy all round!!!
