Mr Duck, good to see you here tonight.

i was going thru some threads in the CB and saw a darling picture of scotlass and her husband.

she was beautiful.

well, we already know she is a beauty but the pic was great!

Just finished doing the budget for dining when we go to universal. Thank you Damo for posting menus. I never thought BF and my simple tastes in meals would come in handy.... but in fact it did! Could look at menus of the restaurants and tell EXACTLY what we would want. Estimated high of course so we have no surprises.... Wonder how many times we will change our minds before we leave though.. hm.


And the grand total for our 4 day trip is $209.85. Tips, taxes, and APH Discounts included. This also includes snacks, refills, and extras.

*Grand total for hotels if we get the 30% APH discount is $689.85 total.
*MVMCP- $121.32(plus parking) Anyone remember how much it is for disney? It wont arrive til 3:30 if that matters.. doubtful though.
*Annual Passes- $494.18
*Parking- $60
*Food- $209.85
*Internet- $60 (stake through my heart please! but it must be done as I have work to get done... *Sigh*)
*Gas- $60? .... We have a max of 500 miles at 37 mpg. so 13.5 gallons. Gas is $3.46 now and if I mark it up to $4 a gallon I still get 54.05. 60 is safe. And I ramble.

Have I gotten everything?!
Grand Total:
$1695.20.
I think I'm going to be sick
Thank goodness this is a present to me from my WONDERFUL boyfriend.
I will be fronting my pass, internet since it's for my work, and first tank of gas, so $337.09 is my cut, I'm riding pretty.

Don't forget about these (I worked for two different British physicians)
biscuits - cookies
lorry - truck
pram - stroller
loo - restroom
flat - apartment
rubber - eraser
boot - trunk
bonnet - hood

That`s funny about the biscuits/cookies.....because we then categorise biscuits into several types. Chocolate, half covered, plain, cream and then we have cookies which is technically a biscuit but companies can charge more calling them cookies
Also the loo word or toilet. First time I asked someone where the toilets were I got a blank look and then asked Oh you want the bathroom!!! No I don`t want a bath I want the loo!!!! No wonder there`s sometimes some misunderstandings.

carole ur starting something, lots of regional quirks in the US & so many accents. If u want a giggle check out Pittsburgh lingo link below no wonder i'm weird...which i'll take as a compliment coming from "mad" hatteredbtw, that chicken looks like it's hooked up to electrode & ready to be brought back ala frankensteinhttp://news.travel.aol.com/2010/09/14/pittsburgh-slang/

Keisha......we could be related from way back. Some of those words in that link are words we use here and a couple are Scottish.
Nebby......we would tell someone in Scotland who was being nosy.....keep yer neb out!!! If we weren`t being polite of course!!
Yinz.......talking about those people over there......we would say OI...Youse yinz ower there (ower is pronounced as OUR but means over)
Pop is a word used in England for a fizzy drink. I love hearing different accents and words.

Yep, thats a BCC, Tiny. Best way to cook chicken ever!!! Cooked over lump charcoal with some apple wood. Throw some onion and peppers on there for some smoke and all is good.

Keisha, I didnt notice the digital thermometer was in the pic. But yeah....totally looks like Im injecting it with something. But now you made me think of a flavor IV for it!!

Im getting ready to throw down with the grill as I type. I've had a tuna steak marinating and gonna throw it down on a 500 degree grill and sear it for 2 minutes a side. Gonna serve it over a bed of spinach and romaine and drizzle a Wasabi vinegarette over it. The side will be grilled zucchini.

We are on the healthy thing again (sorta...gotta have some Q once in awhile) so I have to make it worth eating.

I still think you should consider B&B as a hobby .......Looks lovely, agree with Keisha about the electrode though

Another miserable day and it`s the summer solstice ........so the longest day of the year. As we would say In Scotland "aye the nights are fair drawin in noo". Meaning it will be getting darker earlier soon.

Here endeth your lesson in Scottish for the day

well, we already know she is a beauty but the pic was great!

do u have a link for those too lazy to dig

carole - interesting! pittsburgh is big melting pot of irish/scotch/english & lots of slavic types, we're all Heinz varieties in Pittsburgh.

My maternal grandma was irish (green), grandpa was scotch-irish (orange), with some english thrown in for good measure. My dad was 100% slavic. My 1st husband was sicilian and my second german-irish. Apparently, my kids are mutts.

All this joy of cooking has me waxing poetic, not. I'm off to make 2nd breakfast of the daythis time it's fried taters. I have 3 more to go @ staggered times. One will be 'gruel' for the baby, bagel/cream & scrambled eggs for the last...then we start dinner. This short-order cook is going to revolt & make hotdogs on grill today as we're supposed to segue into high 80's for awhile...we'll call it a take it or leave it sort of day, file your complaints in the trash can ha ha.

congrats, i know how u feel. Are you close enough for him to come home on the random weekend?

Oh yes we are very close. He made his schedule so that he doesn't have any classes on Friday and only one on Monday at 4 so he has a 4 day weekend pretty much. He'll come back at least once a month if not more

Send me mummy dust: we Should be in house by July 1.

Did I ever remind you guys to turn off the oven???!!!

The stupid 1st renovators finally returned most of our belongings today. Missing at least so far the trophy deer heads--we're talking serious business if you messed with DH's deer heads.


Sigh>>>

 

[minniejack]

took DD on the lovely college road trips last week. She only knows how to pick expensive.... One of the one's she is leaning towards is Duke--> I told her that I'd pick her up in four years if that was her choice.. I was the only one in the info session that actually laughed out loud when the admissions rep asked if there was any one in the room that actively cheered against Duke's BB team. I mean I thought everyone did...
