One interesting by-product of picking up grocery orders is finding the rather curious substitutions the the shoppers felt were comparable. Knowing GD would be here, ordered tater tots. Never quite got the appeal of them. “Coins” showed up in the bag. Made them for breakfast for her this am, don’t ask, another request lol. Snitched one, hmmm much better...more crunch, less gooey tater.
Doesn’t take much to make my day at this point
mac.....yes, pool party.....I vote Janet`s house as she has the real pool!!! Can we wait till it`s warmer though.........
lol the mr turned & looked at me yesterday & said: 3 months. A game we tend to play, trying to stump the other. Couldn’t figure it out. Turns out he was talking our normal opening day for it. Hard to imagine that layer of ice on it will ever melt brrrr
Ankle deep in slush here, least it’s not solid ice!
We were supposed to go to Hawaii with 2 other couples this upcoming June. Pushing it to 2022. We want to be able to experience everything without restrictions. Crossing my fingers that will be the case in 2022!
Oooh, nice. What island(s)? Honestly, do think visiting Oahu first for a week or so, then hopping on a cruise to get a taste for the other islands is (was pre pandemic) the way to go.
No connecting flights for us from here to there, hard enough time getting a NS to the west coast. Next trip would probably skip cruise, spend 4 or 5 nights in LA area to do DL & US
will be donating blood on Wednesday this week. I get frequent calls to donate, and help out semi often. They do antibody testing on the blood donated. I haven't shown any antibodies yet, and don't anticipate I will this time either. Unless I had an asymptomatic case, which I wasn't aware of....
Good for you! Their supplies are so depleted.
Celebrity cruises....may have to strike while iron is hot-although at this point will be end of 2022 or 2023 before that budget can handle it lol!
Really enjoyed cruising with them. Can’t remember which class of ship but it offers ‘sweet sixteen’ balconies that are absolutely huge and a great rate. That was our first beverage package

trip, quite nice. Food was elevated. Only issue was the age bracket skewed much more older, little nightlife on our sailings.
was as tasty as it looked. It was very light.
Somebody in that bakery knows their stuff. I’m guessing that the quality of publix stores vary dramatically. The few I’ve patronized in the south were of rather poor quality.
did go to the beach today for a little while. Had a few rain drops pass over, but cleared off.
Picked up some Popeyes chicken for dinner and have been in a carbohydrate induced stupor since dinner......LOL......belly full and eyes droopy.
How many people are fortunate enough to say that? Lucky you. Yes, i tossed Popeyes into the mix, don’t have them here either lol
He wants her to have a colonoscopy. He wants her to have it cleared with her cardiologist first though. She said the surgeon's office would contact the cardiologist to set up the appointment. Hopefully it will be soon.
Sounds like she’s decided to have it performed now then? Great news
No lights or heat would be a nightmare for you and Dave
Lol i’d toss the pooch in the car & be knocking on whichever of my kids house still had power. The mr is an outdoorsman, he’d probably just wrap up in blanket and hold down the homestead.
If we ever make it to Hawaii, you are definitely my go to person for the best places........one day......
Aw, that’s nice to hear.
And it`s lovely having you on this thread......
Indeed it is!
Cracker Barrel has some lovely dishes on offer there.
Say hello to Uncle Herschel for me
We have smoked salmon for lunch today,

My stomach just flopped lol too soon
My friend was sent home with a smaller tube still down her nose and attached to a monitoring machine. Going back to the hospital at 11.30 to have it taken out. Never heard of that monitor and tough day for her following colonoscopy and endoscopy but they are trying to minimise visits.
Oh boy, not to be flip but, both ends in the same day? That’s a thing? Ugh. Poor thing. No idea re the monitor, hope she gets good results
So happy Shrove Tuesday all and keep well
Time to make merry, lent is upon us soon. Glad i got the pancakes out of the way yesterday

. I am hungry for crepes but out of ricotta for the filling I like.
Keisha, ack loosing power. So far, I heard what sounded like hail pounding on the windows in the wee hours. Got out of the bath, and heard a downpour of rain. Now seems to be a drizzle. Thankfully, the thermometer says 39F now.
Same thing here, hate when precipitation of any kind hits the window. Always think of Poltergeist movie & the tree/window
Kiddos do love making those pancakes.....I`m always amazed folks buy the ready mixes for them as they are so easy, and fast too.......enjoy!
I was looking for something in pantry this weekend and found half used box of bisquick lurking that is soon to expire. can’t remember why i bought it but did see u could use to make pancakes. Don’t bother, was odd, they seemed quite salty & came out so dense.
and I actually enjoy that process every morning and my hair is in very good condition surprisingly. Good products are the key.
I detest the process lol but it all does come down to the right product for your hair.
I’m not a chatty type person but love the chatter hear.
You guys “know” how to chat to perfection and I thank you cause looking at 4 walls ... Makes me need the chat!
Well, it is SAN - Something About Nothing

. Welcome & feel free to jump in anytime.
Lots of people rave about the purple shampoo.......
Yes, it’s great for brassiness. Do know more than a few who overused the more intense products (clariol shimmering lights) and wound up stripping the color out of their hair
